Pongala (2025)

[bunniefuu]

This place is silent now.

But beneath this silence,

a story lies hidden.

Steeped in the scent

of blood and betrayal,

this is a strange tale

carved out of revenge.

It all began on that one night.

Comrade.

Hey, comrade.

Tomorrow is the 31st. Don't forget

to buy rice and kerosene, okay?

We missed out last month.

The untold chapter of a hidden night.

Joseph!

Joseph, open the door!

Hey, Joseph!

Open the door!

You scoundrel!

Come out right now! You took the cash,

and now you're hiding inside?

Mom, who is that?

-Come out right now!

-I don't know, son.

-What the hell are you doing?

-Come on, let's go check.

-Come out right now!

-Oh Lord.

Joseph, open the door! Hey, Joseph!

Who are you?

Boss.

-Where's your husband?

-Joseph isn't back yet.

He should be here by now.

I don't know why he's late.

Hes been avoiding me

for the past few days.

I'm not leaving until I see him.

-What's wrong, Mary? What is it?

-They're looking for Joseph.

-I think its about money.

-I see.

Lawrence

Joseph took the money, right?

Come back in the morning.

We'll resolve it then.

Who are you to resolve it?

Her lover?

Lawrence!

This is a seasoned rower's hand!

You'd better leave now.

Take him away.

Tell him I was here.

The money had better be

on my table by morning.

Or Ill be back. Got it?

Just leave, man.

Get lost, man!

Mary, shut the door and go to sleep.

Joseph will come.

-Mom, why isnt Dad here?

-I don't know, son.

I'm scared.

Can you go check?

Don't worry. I'll go look for him.

Oh my God!

Aby realized his father

was hiding from the lenders

and set out to find him,

hoping to see him.

In the end

JOSEPH'S DISAPPEARANCE

THE POLICE IN THE DARK

JOSEPH IN HIDING

AFTER CHITFUND SCAM

LAPSE IN POLICE INVESTIGATION

THE INVESTIGATION

HITS A DEAD END

JOSEPH'S DISAPPEARANCE

TAKES A TURN

Oh, bright sky

Oh, twinkling stars

Where did the moonlight of truth

Vanish?

Oh, white doves,

Oh, dear clouds

Has the moist sunshine gone?

Is the shore dozing off by itself?

Does the bustling wind

Whisper in my ear?

Has he turned into the sea

That weeps within?

Oh, bright sky

Oh, twinkling stars

Where did the moonlight of truth

Vanish?

Oh, white doves

Oh, dear clouds

Has the moist sunshine gone?

When my heart was trembling within

You were near,

Yet your warmth never came

Where did you go without a word

To some faraway corner?

Alone, I melt away today

The mind is weary, seeking peace

Unseen by shore or sea,

This pain rises within

The night stood drenched,

The tears unending

Like the sky that lost its moon,

My agony swells

Aby!

-What is it?

-Let's go to the temple festival.

-I'm not coming.

-Why not?

I cant stand the way people look at me,

or how they talk about me.

Hey, this is Biju asking you.

Tell them to go to hell.

Lets go, well be back soon.

No. I'm not interested.

-Hey--

-You know everything, right?

Son, Aby

-Yeah, Mom?

-Go on. It's Biju asking.

-Go to the festival.

-It's okay, Mom.

It's okay. Here. Just go.

-Dear I'll be going now.

-Mm.

Come on, play faster!

-Need to buy something for my sister.

-We'll pick it up on the way.

Let's just ask them. Sabuettan

Where the hell have you been?

I went to get Aby.

-Aby?

-Yeah.

-Here. Get them something.

-Okay, brother.

-Aby, go with them, okay?

-Shall we?

-Go on, man.

-Come on.

Come on.

Looks like Sabu's got some money.

-What? What did you say?

-It's nothing.

Nothing, right?

So, be quiet and play.

Fine, here.

-Just play!

-Brother

Three ice creams, please.

Boss, well find a way

to pay you back.

I know you will, Mary.

-But I don't want it in cash.

-Go away, Boss.

-Mom!

-What do you want?

-Mom!

-Don't be afraid, dear.

-There he is!

-Brother!

Do something.

-Go get an ice cream. My treat.

-Boss, leave now!

Weve got people who care about us.

Who?

Your husband, who duped me?

Out of my way!

-Ill only leave after I've had my fill.

-Mom You!

-Brother

-What the hell is he doing?

Listen! Dont you dare!

-I'll scream and gather a crowd.

-Then do it.

Everyone's at the festival.

That's why I chose to come now.

-Mom!

-Get out of my house!

-Get out!

-You're still here?

Go away!

Go and watch the kavadi.

-Leave!

-Take your hands off my son!

-Mom! Leave her!

-Move over!

-Get out of here, you dog!

-Hey! You don't know me.

-Biju! Please come!

-I'll k*ll you, you understand?

Your husband took my money-- Move!

-Hey, you--

-Biju, come quickly!

Oh my God.

-Oh my God! Someone, help me!

-Leave my mom alone.

-Leave her alone!

-Leave my mom alone.

Varghese!

-Step aside, you moron!

-My son!

-You wh*re, come here!

-Let go of my son!

-Come here.

-Please let me go.

Mom!

Oh, no!

You dog!

Get out, you rascal! Get lost!

You! You'll pay for this.

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

-Hey! Come here. Hey!

-Mom, Aby!

Mary, this isn't over. I'll be back.

-Son? Aby!

-Wait and watch!

-Mom, Aby!

-Oh my God!

Son!

Son!

Aby!

Aby, no! Don't do it!

Mom!

Aby! Don't do it. Come back.

Please, no. Let him go.

Come here, son.

Please move. Sweetheart!

Boss!

What happened, Boss?

Boss! Get up! Boss!

-Boss!

-It's nothing. Don't worry dear.

Get up, Boss!

Be careful!

Be careful, Boss!

Aby! You did this!

Boss! Get up!

Stay with me! Boss!

After three years in prison,

this place marked the beginning

of a new phase in Abys life.

A new chapter with

Sabu, Biju and their little brother Baiju.

Over the years, their friendship

became steeped in blood.

Forty! Forty! Forty!

-There.

-Forty-one!

Forty-one! Forty-one! Forty-one!

Forty-two! Forty-two!

Forty Forty-three! Forty-three!

Forty-four! Forty-four!

Forty-four! Forty-four!

Forty-five! Forty-five!

-Forty-eight!

-Forty-eight! Forty-eight!

-Forty-nine! Forty-nine!

-Forty-nine!

-Fifty! Fifty!

-Fifty!

-Fifty-one!

-Fifty-one! Fifty-one!

-Fifty-one once, twice, thrice.

-Fixed.

Karim, let's dump yesterday's

Mangalapuram load here.

Just come by boat.

-Okay, deal.

-Okay? Hey, Jose!

Dude. Not done yet?

Done, man. Two more left.

Were off to the festival.

Tell your brother.

Go to the festival all you want.

But the Vedimara boys are in town.

Don't finish them all off.

Leave a few for me, alright?

-Get lost!

-What? Give me the cigarette.

We're taking some fish.

-Dude, only the sardines are left.

-Okay, Biju.

-See you.

-I'm taking this.

Sure, take it.

How about this one?

Let's take this.

-Which one? Make sure it's good.

-Get a plastic bag.

They've all been mixed up.

-Gather it up.

-Take some from this.

Let's take a mix of them. It's fine.

Those are some fresh sardines.

Sabu and Biju's younger brother, Baiju.

The guardian of blood relations.

What the hell?

You go to the temple now?

-Gone spiritual, have you?

-It's festival time, right? That's why.

So what if the festival's here?

-Okay, then, I'll get going.

-Okay, fine.

Aby, don't fall for it. He's a creep.

Man, the kavadi is going on.

Just let him be.

-You two are very close, aren't you?

-Let's go.

Martin and Chemban.

They were Aby's

two other good friends.

Those he met along the way.

[Christian devotional song]

[Christian devotional song continues]

-I'll make the chammanthi, hold on.

-What to eat today?

It's nice and hot.

-Hey--

-That's enough for me.

-Then, eat this dosa.

-That's okay. I need to sleep.

Who am I making all this for, then?

-Angel!

-What is it, Mom?

Hey!

[Christian devotional song continues]

Carved from sandalwood

A lovely sculpture, you are

Caressed by drifting dewdrops

The sweet pre-winter

What is it?

If you're done caressing her,

get out of the car.

Tyson, stop messing around and leave.

If Sabuettan finds out,

you'll get thrashed, scoundrel!

-Get the hell out, idiot!

-Take your hands off me!

Take your hands off!

-You scoundrel!

-I've been watching you for a while!

Let go of me!

Where's your Sabuettan?

Boys, come on!

Hey! Pull him!

Call Sabuettan now!

Sabuettan!

Sabuettan!

Tyson and the boys

have tied up Baiju, your brother.

-Where?!

-The Ashramam ground.

Come on!

Boys, look at this.

Baiju, the younger brother

of Sabu and Biju, who rule Vypin.

We were waiting for the right time.

Now do you realize

who Vedimara Tyson is?

Which idiot dared to pull this stunt?

That'd be me!

Now beat him up!

You!

Oh my God!

Dixon! When did you

return from Mumbai?

So you were behind this.

How's it going, bro?

I heard you've become a big shot

in my absence.

I wanted to see that for myself.

Ah! They'll deal with you now.

These kindergartners?

Great! So, when are you

going back to Mumbai?

How about we hire you a fishing boat?

You've only heard about Mumbai.

Have you heard of Andheri?

Well, you're going to witness it.

You think you can just leave like that?

You little twerp! Do you recognize me?

Take your hands off me.

The boy's getting angry.

Kiddo, do you see this? It's a g*n!

I will sh**t you in the mouth, you swine!

[in Hindi] Understand?

Think you can mess with me?

k*ll him! k*ll that scoundrel!

The festival this year will be grand.

Is my cutout too short?

No, it's quite tall.

That's fine, then. Ah, hello.

-It was a bit short last time.

-Not everyone is pleased with this.

Quite a few outsiders this time.

If any of them cause trouble,

-beat them up on the spot.

-Exactly.

Alright, then.

Who's the girl?

No one important.

Do you remember the

Dahlia bus driver who died?

Santhosh's wife Prajeetha.

She's quite young.

Abys always with her now.

Don't you know any of this?

Everyone else does.

Well, I never find out

anything important in time.

That's right.

I'll see you then.

Alright, bye.

Aby who is she?

She was my classmate.

Her kid is unwell.

Poor things.

She was Santhosh's wife, right?

The band members were

asking about money.

Do something. Go settle it

with the band members. Go.

-Okay.

-Let's go.

Did you overexert yourself?

-It hurts a lot.

-Oh, poor lad.

Yeah, sir, tell me. By sunrise tomorrow,

Sabu and his brothers will be dead.

This is Jayan, giving you his word.

Sir, isnt this Jayan?

The one who committed that double m*rder.

That's him, alright.

He's been out of prison for a while.

I'm warning you all.

Whatever happens, don't interfere.

-They won't hesitate to do anything.

-I won't interfere.

I just want to retire in peace.

Exactly. Were just here for show.

That's enough.

-What is it?

-Nothing.

Hey dear.

[in Tamil] Look at her attitude.

Come on.

Hey!

You swine!

What did you just do?

[in Tamil] What? You didn't like it?

Tell me, you rascal.

-[in Tamil] Okay, leave it then.

-You!

Leave it.

You scum,

how dare you grope women's butts?

What?

What?!

The seed that awoke,

Now blossoms into poison

Theyre the ones who harvested hell

Powerful waves crash upon the land

For days now, an ember burns there

Through vast seas comes

The storm of vengeance

Where they died in strife,

A garden now blooms

Got a lot of things that

I need for the win

I let it in like medicine,

Im in it for the k*ll, boy

Im menacing,

No settling these thoughts

Like a rebel with a cause,

Imma sin but never lost, like a boss

Chopping through these heads,

Searching for that crown

Walking through the dead,

Reaper man around

Walk in to defend

This ocean that I found

People mad around, walk in to defend

Ocean that I found

The water looking red

With that bloody crown

Hey!

The seed that awoke,

Now blossoms into poison

Theyre the ones who harvested hell

Im coming in like the boss,

Im coming in with the chase

No K*llers left around,

Im the baddest in the game

Coming in for the crown,

Youre about to know the name

When I swing Im making it loud,

Im making it known that were insane

Like Im about to be the truth,

Like a prodigy around, thats reality

I found it, not a fallacy,

Its duality

Like finally I got all

I need inside of me

The light and dark, like what Id be

I conquered anarchy itself

Find me at the top

And at the precipice

A wild spark struck the army,

Man is back at it

The fist tightens

Boy, now meet my fist,

This that k*ller sh*t

Im finnesing like thats

just how the way it is

The seed that awoke,

Now blossoms into poison

Theyre the ones who harvested hell

Don't!

Find me at the top

And at the precipice

A wild spark struck the army,

Man is back at it

The fist tightens

Boy, now meet my fist,

This that k*ller sh*t

Im finnesing like thats just

how the way it is

-Marykutty

-Yes.

-What's up?

-Oh, back from roaming around?

You don't like us going out?

No, I love it!

Go get changed, princess.

Enough chit chat.

I need to serve my son food

when he comes.

Oh, such motherly love!

Damn right it is!

He has been struggling for us

for the last decade.

Today, at the church

Everyone his age

has become successful. But my son

Why does God

keep testing us like this?

Dont be upset.

You know everything, right?

Their dad left us years ago.

That's when my son's struggles began.

Leave it, Marykutty.

Hes a smart guy.

And I really like him.

Isn't that enough?

Enough. Leave now.

Hell be here soon.

Oh, Im not afraid of him.

I'm staying for lunch.

Angel, come here

What are you doing?

I

I came to see Angel.

-Okay, then leave.

-Aunty, Im leaving.

Dear

Oh no, has she left?

-Why did she leave?

-Mom, let her go.

Her dad died right outside this house.

Dont you remember?

Every time I see her,

Im reminded of my father. Damn!

-Why are you acting so oblivious?

-Linda

She's gone.

Linda

At first, I was afraid of Aby.

Over the years,

I developed a grudge against him

for murdering my father.

But

I could never see Angel,

my friend from nursing college,

as an enemy.

It was only later, through her,

that I discovered

the truth about that night.

After realizing the truth,

I felt sorry for Aby.

Eventually, that turned into affection,

admiration,

and finally, love.

Now, he is my everything.

I can't imagine life without him.

Stop right there!

Where are you off to?

I've been meaning

to ask you something.

People demand

an explanation from me.

Did you know that?

How could you fall in love

with someone who k*lled your dad?

Get inside.

Youre not going anywhere.

If I had a son,

Aby would be dead right now.

And you're in love with that m*rder*r?

-Love!

-Mom, you don't know the truth.

How many times have I told you?

It wasnt Aby who k*lled Dad.

In truth, Aby is suffering for Dad's sins.

It was Dad who entered his house

Don't get me started.

Its not sympathy.

I actually love him.

That was when

Sabu and his brothers

introduced some

toxic business tactics

at the harbor.

Aby was completely opposed to it.

That was the turning point in the story.

I'll blow on this

to cool it down for you.

Dear

I'm out of betel leaves

and areca nuts.

If you have the money,

I want just five rupees.

I have to go very far to buy it.

It's not so hot now.

-I can't walk much either.

-Shucks!

Go away, dog! Get out of here!

-Who's there?

-This damn dog!

Who are you?

Is this driver Santhosh's house?

Santhosh passed away, son.

I'm aware, mom.

Is Prajeetha inside?

Yes.

Move aside, please.

Santhosh, I couldn't attend your funeral.

I am the Tharakan here.

Sabu.

I found out quite late.

God is very cruel.

Else, why would this

happen to you so young?

What can we do, son?

At such a young age, my daughter

-Mom

-Yes.

go have some betel leaf chew.

-May you be blessed, son.

-Okay.

-Will you stay for lunch?

-Absolutely.

Dear, make some tea for sir.

Poor thing.

I'll be right back.

You didn't have to give her the money.

Don't worry about it.

From now on,

I'll be here for everything.

Aby is one of my dependents, you see.

There's no need for this here.

You should leave.

And take everything with you.

Don't act like you're some great saint.

Everyone knows

about your affair with Aby.

-I'll pay you more than he does!

-Shut up!

Get out!

Say that again, and Ill chop you up!

Get out!

His

His damn groceries! Get out!

What is all this?

That Sabu

Do you know what he asked me today?

It's too shameful to tell you, Aby.

Everything youre doing for us

People misunderstand it, Aby.

From now on,

my son and I will live on our own.

We dont want anyone's help.

You'll also be left humiliated, Aby.

Don't come here again.

Leave.

Hurry up!

Smash it before people gather.

[Singing "Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai"]

-Hurry up!

-That's what we're doing!

Make it fast!

[singing "Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai"]

Hey!

His "Chunari ke neeche"!

Karim, mix it up properly.

-It's not for you to take home, is it?

-I don't want this crap.

This load has to move today.

Only then will the people

of Kattappana get fresh fish tomorrow.

Fresh!

Oh my God

What do I do with all this sin?

-Yeah, thats right.

-What did you just say?

No I was saying,

the load for Mapradam shappu

has already left.

-Yeah, Im aware of that.

-I never said you weren't.

That

Where's the fizz?

Why is he here at this time?

Something doesnt feel right.

Aby, whats the matter?

Sabuettan, were you

at Prajeethas house?

Oh shes told you already?

Noted.

Shes a helpless girl,

leave her alone.

That's why I wanted to help her.

Don't worry about it.

-Karim, get the load ready.

-Yeah, sure.

-Im leaving.

-Okay.

Hurry up!

You shouldn't go there again.

Are you threatening me?

Karim, if he can go there, why cant I?

-Isn't my money good enough?

-You should definitely go.

Why do you care so much?

Is she your sister or your mother?

Is she?

Oh my God, hes got a g*n!

Say that again,

and I'll k*ll you, scoundrel.

Got it?

I taught you to aim,

and you point a g*n at me?

-Karim!

-Yes?

I was busy loading the fish.

He bit the hand that fed him.

Why did you even bother feeding him?

After that incident,

Sabus grudge

against Aby deepened.

Aby theyre here.

Hey! Aby!

Hey, Biju

Ill talk to him.

Aby come on, get up!

Go apologize to Sabuettan. Let's go.

He has stood by you

through everything.

And you pointed a g*n at him?

All that for a wh*re?!

Biju, you can go.

I could easily chop off your hands

for laying them on my brother.

-But you're a friend, after all.

-Hey!

What is this? A friendly chat?

You might not care

about him hurting our brother

but I do care.

Who do you think you are, jerk?

How dare you touch my brother, fool!

-Hey

-Hey!

Hey hey let go of him.

-Hey let him go.

-Let him go, Biju.

-Hey! Move!

-Leave him!

Biju, Leave him. He'll die.

-Aby, leave him!

-Hey, He'll die!

-Leave him!

-Leave him!

Get out of here.

Fighting outside the party office!

Try that again

and well chop off your limbs.

Aby, this isn't over.

-You wh*re!

-Leave my son alone, you devil.

Sabu, a sinful man,

was being shielded by Biju

solely because they're brothers.

And that's why

Aby was angry with Biju.

Aby, caught between truth and love,

found himself in a dilemma.

Trapped in a silent w*r.

Does your neck hurt?

No, does yours?

No, Im fine.

Okay, good.

Hand me a cigarette.

I knew youd ask me.

Oh, please!

Sometimes, I wonder

where is life really taking us?

What's wrong?

-Nothing.

-What's the matter, then?

Where's my dad? I need to

Where the hell is he?

Are you still hung up on that?

Leave it, dude. Its in the past.

Weve got enough going on here.

Lets talk about something else.

Things were beginning to settle down

Just then

another police maneuver wrecked it all.

Hey, its not deep-sea fishing.

Get on with it!

-Either way, we have to work.

-Sister

-Brother, be quick.

-Karim, get lost.

Can we dry it before it rots?

Oh!

Why don't you pick them up

one by one?

Pick it up all at once.

Why are you guys bothering me?

Oh! Poor thing!

What are you doing?

Thats ammonium,

not face powder!

-Oh, really? Then go ahead, eat some.

-Spread it around properly.

I'm the one to blame.

What a bunch of slackers.

Oh my God! The police

and health officials are here!

Looks like they're here for us.

Throw out that ammonium right now!

-Hey, move aside.

-Were from the health department.

-Don't stop us.

-Move aside.

Hey! Stop it.

We've received a complaint.

Were here to inspect.

-Move!

-Close the gate!

Go through it carefully.

-Who is in charge around here?

-It's completely rotten.

Theres ammonia all over it, sir.

No change in color, sir.

Go ahead and take that one.

Its all gone bad, sir.

Smells terrible.

This is what they were feeding people?

-This is completely rotten.

-Everything's gone bad.

It smells awful.

Pack, seal,

and send all of it to the lab.

This should fix all your issues.

He won't be able to refuse me.

Take the sample with you.

You can still sell it for lakhs.

Trust me, I'll get it all sold.

So, whats the dons name?

Taurus.

Isn't Taurus a large truck,

like the Tipper?

Yeah, hes a pretty big player too.

We can lock in this deal.

We should start right away.

-Yes, Karim.-Sabuettan.

Where have you been?

I've been trying to reach you.

Im at home, had some work.

Whats the matter?

There's a minor issue.

The police sealed our warehouse.

They've seized our things

and arrested our people.

That's all.

What will you do now?

Alright, then.

We've got something to take care of.

-Okay.

-What's the matter, bro?

I'm fed up with these idiots.

Look, Ive never interfered

in your business matters.

You're aware of that.

But this was the health department.

There was nothing I could've done.

I want to know who complained.

There was no official complaint.

Just an anonymous call.

And it went straight

to the health department.

Only someone who knows you

and the deal we have

couldve done this.

Aby.

Its definitely him.

No doubt about it.

Dont back down, Sabuettan.

-Where can I find him?

-He'll be at the harbor.

See him? Thats the guy.

Dude

I smell trouble.

-It's nothing we can't deal with.

-Is it?

[in Tamil] Yo, dude!

What are you up to?

Look at this.

Hey!

Hey!

Come on! Come on!

Enough! You're going to die!

I'll k*ll you both!

Weve got to keep him in check.

Kochi is about to witness

how Taurus plays the game.

[Spanish song playing]

Antony

Are you happy?

[in Tamil] Hey, Pazhanichamy,

you think Customs runs the show?

A hundred-crore shipment.

You lose that, you're dead.

-No, this isn't going to work.

-Bro, please sit down.

-Why should we watch him show off?

-Let's just hear them out.

Sabuettan

-This deal is worth crores.

-Exactly.

[Tamil] What's new?

Just mentioning my name is enough.

Yes.

Taurus bhai

Theyre the ones

who run Vypin Harbor. The Sabu Bros.

By the way, Im Taurus.

Call me

Don!

Linda

Sabu Bros, this is Vypin.

Yeah, I know that.

Get to the point.

Its the number one port in Kerala,

where goods can enter freely.

When my ships sail from Goa to Kochi,

I'll offload the cargo to fishing boats

right here at Vypin port.

Sabu Bros should collect it

and hand it over to Ali.

It should then be distributed

across Kerala. Simple.

So, tonight, well operate

the first shipment.

Bro Okay.

We can handle it.

Okay, done.

And if someone needs

to be taken care of

Just say the word.

In Kochi?

Set up the deal first.

Well sort out the rest later.

Yeah.

Yeah, tell me

I'm on my way-- oh damn!

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

Am I crazy to do that?

You were the one on your phone.

But it's my fault?!

Well, you look fine to me.

Seriously? What about this?

Its just a scratch.

Just put some herbs on it and go home.

Move aside!

-Move aside! I need to go.

-Where are you rushing off to?

Look, I cant even move my arm!

It really hurts!

I think its broken.

Step aside!

Hold this bag.

-Listen

-Yes.

I dont think I can ride with this arm.

Can you take me to the hospital?

Yeah, hop on.

Hey, dont sit like that.

Please please dont be angry.

Im just scared to sit on the side.

-Thats why!

-Whatever.

Listen, what shampoo do you use?

Tell me, which one is it?

Shut your mouth,

or I'll throw you into the lake!

Fine. I'll be quiet.

Step down carefully.

-Okay.

-So

I might need an X-ray.

Stay with me, please?

Just five minutes.

Ive got a lot of work to do after this.

So take an auto and head home.

It's just loading fish boxes, right?

Don't forget that's what

helped you get here today.

Mocking me!

What an idiot!

-Yes, Martin. Tell me.

-Linda.

I found your scooter here,

but no ones around.

The keys still in it.

Martin, I had an accident.

But nothing serious.

-Oh?

-Im at the hospital now.

At the hospital?!

Oh, I called you

because I saw your scooter.

-Martin, can you do me a favor?

-Yeah, tell me.

-Can you bring my scooter over?

-Of course.

Only if you have the time.

Time? Ive got plenty of it.

Ill be there in five minutes.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Chemban! Come with me, quick.

-Where to?

-Just come with me.

-Oh God, help me.

-What a crazy guy.

Can you lower your arm a bit?

-How is she?

-Nothing to worry about.

The wounds being dressed.

You can leave after that.

Okay.

Aby

So, you do like me, then?

Let me tell you something.

I dont like being stalked like this.

So stop it.

Aby's heart was alight

with the warmth of Linda's love.

But Abys face

showed none of that flame.

And then

Linda

Linda

Here's the key.

Why do you look so upset?

It's nothing.

Were you crying?

No I wasn't.

Thanks.

I should go now.

Hi. All good?

-You okay now?

-Yes, fine.

-No major injuries, right?

-No, nothing serious.

-Alright, Im leaving.

-Okay.

What?!

-I didn't tell her.

-You didn't?

Is that necessary?

Come on, man. Go tell her.

What a fool.

Linda!

Linda,

Ive been meaning to tell you something.

Go on, tell me.

Uh

I love you.

If youre okay with it,

can we discuss marriage?

Martin, what the

You don't have to answer now.

Think about it and let me know.

A crest and a trough

She is the ocean's cuff

A near and far land

He is the rock of the strand

A crest and a trough

She is the ocean's cuff

A near and far land

He is the rock of the strand

The soft-feathered bird

That found its way to me

Yet you utter no words,

Just gaze into my eyes, endlessly

Like the gem on your nose pin,

I long to rest on you

Never fade away

Like the sea breeze

With your glance, with your smile

I bloom like the dawn

Like a golden fish

You dived into the deep

And stole my heart away

Like a golden fish

You dived into the deep

And stole my heart away

Like a drifting sailboat in the breeze,

I wander, lost at sea

Im drowning in your waves

In the island of my dreams tonight,

My heart still waits beneath the light

I wait for you to come to me

With a kiss that sets me free

Oh, crimson-eyed enchantress mine,

You carved your mark across my life

You bound my heart with an anklet,

My love, my sweet delight

Like a golden fish

You dived into the deep

And stole my heart away

Like a golden fish

You dived into the deep

And stole my heart away

The soft-feathered bird

That found its way to me,

Yet you utter no words,

Just gaze into my eyes, endlessly

Like the gem on your nose pin

I long to rest on you

Never fade away

Like the sea breeze

With your glance, with your smile

I bloom like the dawn

Like a golden fish

You dived into the deep

And stole my heart away

Like a golden fish

You dived into the deep

And stole my heart away

Where? At Sabu's ice factory?

Yeah, man. I'm the one who built it.

Theres a secret room in that ice factory.

A secret room in the ice factory?

What for?

No idea.

Why do they need

a secret room in the ice factory?

I was thinking the same thing.

Hey, Aneesh. Its been a while.

Wheres Aby?

He's inside.

-How's it going?

-Did they bother you again?

No.

It was right to break away from them.

Although that created two sides, you're

the only one who can stand against them.

The Party will always have your back.

I heard youve arranged

Neenas marriage.

Oh damn!

I forgot to tell you why I came.

I've come to invite you to her wedding.

You should be there

from the eve of the wedding.

Josephs son is like my own son.

And, like my own son,

I need you to handle everything.

-Yeah, sure!

-You all should come too.

Sure!

-I'll come.

-Bye, then.

-Okay, then.

-Okay.

There'll be a feast!

Also, dude

There's been no sign of Biju or Baiju

since you beat them up.

Right?

They're not the type to stay quiet.

You seem really tense.

Our Thekkekkara consignment

comes through Vadakkekkara.

And Vadakkekkara is Aby's territory.

So I'm anxious.

Why not just finish him off?

I've got his funeral pyre ready.

When the time's right, I'll light him up.

He's not answering, damn it.

-Brother success.

-Yeah.

No matter what it takes,

Sabu will finish any task he accepts!

Call your Taurus and tell him.

Come here, you rascal!

-Sabuettan!

-Yeah!

Do you know how many crores

we've made overnight?

-Of course, brother!

-We're kings now, man. Absolute kings.

Obviously!

-Look at it coming!

-We're going to rock it now, brother.

I want to see who dares

to mess with us now.

Do you see that coming?

It's crores upon crores!

We've hit the jackpot, man!

So, give me a call,

and we'll rock this! Got it?

-Okay then.

-Inform Taurus bhai.

Let's rock it next time.

Bye.

Do you believe in God, then?

Well,

I believe that God will never help me.

Then what are you praying for?

Haven't I told you

to stop following me around?

What do you want?

Are you hard of hearing?

What is your problem?

Everyone asks me

"Did you have to fall in love

with the man who k*lled your father?"

But only I know the truth

That you are not capable of that.

I've made up my mind.

As long as you're not afraid to k*ll,

and I am not afraid to die

you are all I want.

Don't say a thing.

I've made up my mind, Aby.

Like the lonely dreams of the night

The rain-moths

Arrived at the doorstep

The wick-flame flickering with a sigh

Why do you search for it,

Even with broken wings?

Like the lonely dreams of the night

The rain-moths

Arrived at the doorstep

As my soul reaches for you

And your gentle touch finds me

It may turn into fire or into water

In this small world we share

You, my beloved,

Stand on the edges of my shadow

Stretching out a bright flame

Staying close to my soul

May you always flow inside me,

Like a river

Soothe me where I'm wounded

In the quiet depths of my being

Love can make even

stone burst into bloom

It may be the truth

Or may be a lie

My heart keeps whispering

Its tender melody

In the fragile moments

Of this little clay lamp of life

Do not fall from my world,

O flower of the night

Let us stay

As two halves of one soul

Living forever in this oneness

Spread into me, my love

Fill every part of me, dear

Like the lonely dreams of the night

The rain-moths

Arrived at the doorstep

The wick-flame flickering with a sigh

Why do you search for it,

Even with broken wings?

What the hell!

Mummy

Oh, no! My son!

Son, my dear!

My son!

Mom!

-Oh, my dear!

-Mom, my child!

What happened, Mom?

Where's my son?

-Where is he? Tell me!

-It's nothing, dear.

-Where's my child?

-Dear!

-Tell me what happened, Mom.

-Don't cry, dear.

What happened? Where's my son?

-Aby, where's my son?

-Nothing's happened.

-Where is he?

-He's inside.

-Where?

-Go with her.

-Listen, Aby.

-Please don't cry.

-Sister!

-Hey, bro.

Jojo was the one driving.

And he doesn't have

a heavy driving license.

They were talking about something

called "Crystal" or "Meth."

He is the one who ran over

this boy's father.

Is he trying to k*ll the entire family?

Aby, we should teach him a lesson.

Come.

Hey, look!

Hey!

-Run, dude, run!

-Hey, stop!

-Hey!

-Don't run!

Stop running!

-Run, dude.

-Stop!

Hey, kids

Run, man, don't stop!

-Stop there!

-Run quickly!

Hey, stop!

-Let's go!

-Run fast!

-Stop, man!

-Stop running!

-Run, dude, run!

-Stop right there!

Who's there?

Bro, this is meth.

He can't even afford cheap liquor.

Where does he get all this stuff?

Where did you get this?

You don't know?

You really don't know?!

Spit it out, now!

Speak up!

-Catch him!

-Go get him!

Stop!

Hey, stop, man!

Stop there!

Stop right there!

Grab that scoundrel!

Stop running!

-You!

-Please let me go!

You supply drugs to minors and

-I messed up.

-You messed up?

I'll break your jaw, you swine!

-I'm just a mediator between them.

-What did you say?

A mediator between them?

I'll crush what's between

your legs, you swine!

Tell us!

Baiju's boys gave it to me.

What? Baiju's boys gave it to you?

-Where did they get this?

-I don't know.

I don't know where they got it.

Only they have this stuff.

I'll smash your

You swine!

Should I just tie you up

and drown you right here, you wretch?

Please don't! I will die.

It wasn't me, brother!

-Then leave. Get out of here.

-Come here, you swine!

-Get out of here!

-Oh my God!

If I ever see you around here again,

I'll chop you up

and throw you into the sea, you pig!

Aby, this is serious.

This is a serious matter.

When I think about these deadly drugs

being easily available in Kerala,

I feel very anxious.

I warned you about this

when the outsiders came here.

Baiju is up to something.

He's a real fraud.

Why are you pinning it on him?

Aren't they all frauds?

They only care about the money,

no matter what the cost.

Last night, Sabu and his team

were hanging around our harbor.

Chandrettan, I'll just go

take a quick look around.

Where is he going?

Aby, don't get involved

in anything reckless.

My daughter's wedding is in two days.

You must be there!

No problem, I'll take care of it.

[Spanish song playing]

[Spanish song continues]

Back up, back up! Yes, come on!

Come on, back up!

That's enough.

Come on, let's open it!

Go beat him up!

You scoundrel!

You!

Let go of me!

Come on.

Sabuettan!

Sabuettan!

Sabuettan!

-Sabuettan!

-What happened?

That Aby

The goods

-in the water

-Hey!

He was here.

-Where is he?-Sabuettan!

-Oh my God!

-Look at this, Sabuettan!

Crores worth of our stuff

is floating in the water.

What happened, Sabuettan?

Sabuettan?

Sabuettan?

Please get up!

-What will we do now?

-Biju!

Sabuettan!

Biju!

Go ahead.

Fantastic!

You go inside.

Aby, come here. Come on.

Hey!

-Don't create a scene, man!

-Let me go!

I've left that to Shivan.

Alright then. Okay.

-Poor thing.

-Aby

Dear!

-Aby, I have something to tell you.

-Of course.

Didn't I tell you

not to do anything reckless?

That's what felt right at the moment.

You need to be careful.

They are a bunch of snakes.

-Who is it?

-Taurus. Taurus bhai.

Answer it.

Taurus bro.

Call me Don.

Don bro, Sabuettan

has some chest pain.

He's resting right now.

I heard about that.

Twenty-seven years

I've been doing this for 27 years.

-Hand me that phone.

-Understood?

Don't you worry about it.

We'll make up for this loss.

Hello?

I don't keep a tally of losses.

Ali bhai will be there today.

Just sign over all your assets to him.

Once Sabuettan recovers, I'll call you.

You should!

Or else, I'll be the one coming there

with a lifetime settlement!

I'm losing my mind right now.

I'll k*ll him!

Taurus, don't trust them.

I think he took our drugs.

Bro, Aby wouldn't do that.

Aby! Damn him! I'm going crazy.

Bro, pour me another drink.

But Aby doesn't know you like her.

True, Aby doesn't know.

But she does!

And yet what the hell did she do?

She could've just told me, right?

I've been carrying this feeling

around for so long.

She hasn't said no to me yet.

But she hasn't said yes to you either.

You won't understand my pain.

Bro, repeat.

Pour me another one.

There's no point

in telling you anything. I'm leaving.

Go on, get out of here!

I don't need anyone.

Martin

I need you.

Right now, our problem is Aby.

Once he's gone,

all our problems will end.

Don't think you can just

manipulate me.

I know how to solve my problems.

Understood?

Thinks he's some master manipulator.

-Come fast.

-Where are you two going?

We're just going to Sheeba's.

I'll give this and be right back.

She gave something for stitching,

we need to collect it first.

-That's the Sheeba's in Cherai, right?

-Yeah.

Do you have the stuff?

Why are you taking unnecessary risks?

There are always police checks there.

You already know that.

Lots of cops there, huh?

Here. All good?

Be careful.

I'll be careful.

-If anything comes up, call me.

-Okay.

-Okay, then. See you later.

-Okay.

Come on.

-Hey!

-Hey!

Hey! Stop there!

Hey!

Come on!

Hey! He's getting away! k*ll him!

-Hey!

-Hey!

-Come on!

-k*ll him!

-Hey!

-You scum!

Hey!

[in Tamil] Hey, finish him!

The chariot of death comes

I am heading towards it

Like the glow of a candle,

An angel arrived

Time ends here

All duties are falling apart

A farewell on a one-way journey

You can go. Ill handle the rest. Okay.

Aby

How are you feeling now?

Where's Linda?

She's over there.

Over there

-She's over there.

-What's going on?

She's over there!

She's over there

Son! What are you doing?

Please stop!

-Chandrettan, please stop him!

-Aby, where are you going?

-Hey, go after him.

-Aby!

The chariot of death comes

I am heading towards it

Like the glow of a candle,

an angel arrived

Time ends here

All duties are falling apart

A farewell on a one-way journey

When you kiss my brow,

don't let my heart ache

You monster!

Haven't you had enough?!

-Dont let your brimming tears fall

-Haven't you done enough?

While dust gathers

The world fades

the afterlife awaits

I need your prayers as my support

From now on,

keep me in your memory every day

May you embrace the holy kingdom

The chariot of death comes

I am heading towards it

-Like the glow of a candle,

-Let me tell you something.

I don't like being stalked like this.

Are you hard of hearing?

-Time ends here

-What is your problem?

All duties are falling apart

A farewell on a one-way journey

Aby, what can I say to console you?

Son

Son

Take care of them.

Son

That was the last time I saw Aby.

Sir, hes leaving.

Shouldn't we catch him?

Let him go.

Its not time to catch him yet.

Three more funeral pyres to go

before the mayhem ends.

Martin!

It was him. Grab him!

Stop there!

Aby! I didn't do anything.

Chemban, please tell him.

Please dont hurt me!

That Baiju

he made me do everything!

Please dont hurt me!

I messed up! Please forgive me!

Yes.

Since then, Chemban

has not seen Aby, either.

Like everyone else,

we've also only heard

about what happened next.

Those stories reached us

through frozen silences.

[in Tamil] Hey, what are you looking at?

What are you looking at?

I'll call you.

Hey! Open up.

Open up!

Hey! Open up!

Leave me!

-Hey

-Oh no!

Oh no! g*n!

-You come here.

-Didn't he handover the g*n.

Don't k*ll me.

-Aby, please don't k*ll me.

-Tell me! Where are they?

-Upstairs.

-Move aside! Leave!

I'm saved.

Aby! Come on.

I was waiting for you,

ready to give you hell.

All this time, I cared for you like

the apple of my eye

and it was not out of love for you.

Sabu only cares about himself!

Oh! Youve got a g*n too?

Come on, then. Lets sh**t it out.

Ah!

Tie his hands up!

Take him away.

Aby, youve brought me

some good fortune in business.

But your father, Joseph, brought me

more luck than you have.

And only we know where he's now.

Let go of me!

Let go!

Hey!

Aren't you Babu,Tharakan Rajan's son?

Is this what you've been doing?

It it was a mistake.

I was in urgent need of some money.

For God's sake,

please don't tell anyone.

-Tharakan Rajan's son, in need of money?

-Let go of me!

Come on, I'm taking you to your father!

Come on--

Sabuettan

Aby, go with them, okay?

Theres a secret room in that ice factory.

A secret room in an ice factory?

What for?

I've got everything sorted with Taurus.

Just come over when I call you.

I'll take care of all that.

You k*lled my father!

Bro!

Aby, let it go, man.

Isn't he our little brother?

Baiju made a mistake.

Sabuettan has sent him packing.

You don't need to go meddling in it.

Understood?

There's nothing left to meddle with.

I've finished them off.

You scumbag!

Don't!

Hey! Leave me!

Hey!

Hey! Aby!

Don't do it, man!

Oh, no!

Don't do it, man!

Hey!

Don't do it, man!

Oh God!

As the embers slowly burned

Into a wildfire

The dark days turned

Was it for this we waited

Terrified and spurned?

As the embers slowly burned

Into a wildfire

The dark days turned

Was it for this we waited

Terrified and spurned?

Some lives are like that.

Lives that have lost their way

in a story scripted by someone else.

Some futile lives that perish

because they trusted

and loved others.

Aby Where is he?

What happened to him?

No one knows to this day.

His family continues to wait

in the hope of seeing him again.

And so do I.

I am not a writer.

I am not a literary figure either.

But whenever I think of Aby

it feels like his life is a story

waiting to be written.

Giving in to the silent

insistence of that feeling

these final lines are finding

their place in my diary.

Red salute, comrade! Red salute!

As the embers slowly burned

YOU MAY k*ll,

BUT YOU CANNOT DEFEAT!

Into a wildfire

The dark days turned

Was it for this we waited

Terrified and spurned?

From the ground

Where blood was shed

An answer to betrayal is bred

Like a blazing sun on high

Does this crimson flame defy?
