Hathane Udaya (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Long ago, in the land of Hasthikula

during the reign of Balaraja Deva,

there was a tribal community.

They were known as "Mavedan".

They used to worship a deity.

A forest deity.

They used to worship the forest

deity in every season.

They used to worship the forest

deity in every season.

On Fridays, at noon, when

the sun's shadow grows short,

by dancing as Kolam figures

and throwing rice, they celebrated.

By cooking the day's hunt

and offering it to the deity...

they continued their worship.

Once the performance is over, turmeric powder is

given as prasad on the leaf of a strychnine tree.

Where's my turmeric powder?

Bring me the strychnine leaf.

I forgot to pluck the leaf.

I'll bring it now.

Father, come back soon.

Mandya, if you forget it, the

forest deity won't forgive.

To the same forest where Mandyan

went to gather strychnine leaves,

unaware of the impending danger...

Makkam and her children were also

heading, accompanied by her 12 brothers.

Come, dear.

Let's sit there.

-Brother, why are you crying?

-It's nothing, Maaka.

-Something went inside my eye.

-Maaka, come here.

Makka, you're unchaste.

You have brought disgrace upon our family.

Brother, I haven't done anything wrong.

Those stories were made up by your wives.

Stories? They didn't simply make it up.

You're the one who did wrong, Makkam.

Please believe me.

I haven't done anything wrong.

-Let go of me.

-Come here.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Cheeru...

Cheeru...

Let go of me.

Lord... My Lord...

Father!

He's over there. Come on!

Son, did you see your father?

Father is dead.

Lord k*lled my father.

Oh God!

They are coming to k*ll me too.

We need to leave here soon.

If they see us, they will k*ll us.

Let's leave this forest.

Forest deity...

Save us.

O Lord, we, the protectors

of the forest, take our leave

The keepers of the creatures

now take their leave

The ones who ripped apart the

mother earth and drew out water

The ones who begged for

seeds from the God of sky

Holding on to kindness in the heart

O Lord, we're coming down

the hills of Tulu Nadu

O Lord, we, the protectors of

the forest, are taking leave

The keepers of the creatures

now take their leave

We filled the bunds with water

and sowed dreams in the soil

We waited with hope

to reap their bounty

O Mother Earth, you blessed us with rain

Isn't it on my land that the

rice for everyone is growing?

O Lord, we, the protectors of

the forest, are taking leave

The keepers of the creatures

now take their leave

We shall make headgears

for Makka and her children

We shall make headgears

for Makka and her children

When the stories turn red

with the blood of Mavedan

A shiny star will bloom in the sky

When the Mavila Theyyam screams in anger

A deafening roar

echoes from the heavens

O Lord, we're coming down

the hills of Tulu Nadu

O Lord, we, the protectors of

the forest, are taking leave

The keepers of the creatures

now take their leave

The ones who ripped apart the

mother earth and drew out water

The ones who begged for

seeds from the God of sky

Holding on to kindness in the heart

O Lord, we're coming down

the hills of Tulu Nadu

It should come to us organically.

It should come with responsibility.

A clan deity for us.

What should we do for it?

Bring that clay pot with water.

Where shall we place

the sword and anklet?

Where shall we place

the lamp and the idol?

Neither are there treehouses.

Nor are there any huts to live in.

If it will stay on this strychnine tree rock...

you can place it there.

On this rock in this sacred grove...

I offer my sword, anklet and the lamp.

They can stay in Veeramala.

That Theyyam figure is very powerful.

You should take good care of it.

Come for work in the morning.

You will get the food from the mansion.

-Isn't that enough?

-Yes, lord.

You may leave.

Inform 'Melamkottu' family as well.

Okay.

Years passed.

The village and the way of life changed.

Makkam and her children

became Theyyam figures.

The wrath of Makkam's vengeance

brought ruin to her brothers' families.

Though not grand in appearance,

Mandyan also became a Theyyam figure.

The warrior Mandyan, filled Veeramala.

Through fighting wild animals, the Mavedan

community harvested gold in the fields.

The Cherupakodu family and Melamkodu family divided

the golden harvest between themselves.

-Janu, has the paddy dried?

-Yes.

Walk!

If Krishna Kurup is not

there, you'll be spared.

Walk.

What's the crime he committed?

He stole from the backyard

when no one was there.

-What did he steal?

-Raw banana and one coconut.

-That's all?

-Yes.

Untie him.

Why did you steal?

My children were crying of hunger.

It was for them.

Free him.

Which hand did you use to steal?

Narayani...

-Yes?

-Come here.

I'll come now.

Please light this as well.

Sreedevi...

Where were you in the evening?

I left early.

Headmaster had given me a task.

You could have told me.

Look there.

Kanna, don't burn your hand.

Ignore them.

Your father.

I'll come now.

Father, did you call me?

-He got embarrassed.

-Yes.

What happened, Kannan?

Ambu, don't feel bad.

It's only that you can't

go near the shrine.

What is kept in front of the shrine

passes through your hand, right?

Think about that.

It's down. It's a porcupine.

Bring it to the stream.

-Have you got arrack?

-Half a bottle.

-Will it be there in your house?

-Yes.

You can have this.

I'll go there.

Is there Gulikan sprint today?

Earlier, it was there only once a month.

Now, it's there every week.

Who's performing as Gulikan?

It shouldn't be revealed.

It's in the sage cave that he gets ready.

Once he's ready, he would

roam around for two and a half hours.

I don't want to waste time anymore.

Let's come to the matter.

-Isn't it, Mangodan?

-Yes.

I dont think I need to ask if the guests

have settled or if theyre already tired.

No.

Is there idleness in my land?

Is there any cause for worry?

Is there any misery or illness?

Idleness is there.

Isn't a revolution

underway in my Veeramala?

We don't know anything.

You'll understand it gradually.

I'm heading to the rice-rock all decked up.

Hold the lamp!

Kumba...

Kumba...

These Mavedans are always

conducting Gulikan dances!

b*stards! Dont give any peace of mind.

-You fell asleep?

-No.

I heard the g*nsh*t. Got it?

-Chindan will bring it.

-Okay.

It's very cold outside.

I'll make you warm then.

Come on.

You only need the arrack?

Your nails and teeth are very sharp.

It's burning.

To get over the rawness of the game meat...

and the stiffness of the arrack...

you are needed.

Isn't there anything to munch on?

Wild pork roast is there.

Will it do?

Of course. Tell them to bring it.

Kumba...

Chinda...

Tell Parangodan to get the

buffaloes into the field.

In Kelu's case... his family is making a scene.

I'll pay them something

and put an end to it.

Aren't we used to it?

You can do whatever you want on this side.

But it's not like that...

On the other side.

This is nothing.

There are some gutsy young

beauties on that hill.

Let me know when you need them.

Have it.

I'll make sure Kelu's case

doesn't reach the court.

Let things happen well.

Make it fast.

When I'm not allowed to

go near the shrine...

why should I make the wicks?

This is to keep in front of the idol.

Be it the wick or the offering,

it's your duty to prepare it.

That's my decision.

You and Meenakshi made

a mistake in your youth.

Because of it Melamkottu

family ostracized you.

But I can't change it now.

[indistinct chatter]

When Velichapadu went to scatter the rice

yesterday, a pig jumped in front of him.

He ran up a tree with the lamp.

A Velichapadu is not

supposed to run away in fear.

That pig was running away

from Krishna Kurup's g*nsh*t.

How did you hear the g*nsh*t?

Weren't you performing

as Velichapadu then?

Don't make jokes in front of the shrine.

There's no point in

running behind that pig.

The Melamkottu family

must have eaten it by now.

Our situation is worse than that of pigs.

We can only produce the yield.

We are not destined to enjoy it.

It's the Melamkottu who harvest the yield.

Don't be scared. Claim your share.

See, even Kandakoran understood the matter.

-The laws have changed, right?

-Yes.

The new law says the landlords should

bestow 10 cents to the tenants.

Don't get into a fight.

We only need to live

without going hungry.

-My work is over. Shall I leave?

-Yes.

When will you leave?

Hey! I'm asking you.

Are you standing guard today?

Hmm.

Aren't you scared to be alone?

Hmm.

Why are you always replying like this?

Don't you speak?

I was just joking.

Don't be angry.

-Teacher, aren't you coming?

-No, go home.

Have you been waiting for a long time?

No, school just got over, right?

Don't be angry.

It's because Headmaster was out.

As if I don't work there.

Did you think about what I said yesterday?

We only need your mother's consent.

She won't have any problem.

But there are some

casteist men in the family.

They will definitely make an issue.

There will be objections.

People in Veeramala

might also make an issue.

Shall we leave this village?

To run away in fear? Come on!

Hey, HM is coming.

Good that I saw you.

AEO has given us a huge task.

We need to take the students to

the field and teach them farming.

How's it? New systems!

We've no other option but to obey them.

Teacher, you should inform

Melamkottu about this.

-Sir, won't you inform the mansion?

-Yes.

So you are in charge of it.

Do it well.

Okay, sir.

Okay, I'm leaving.

Mother will scold me if I get late.

I don't want to hear it. Bye.

Come on.

Is this the time for it?

Kumba!

Why did you enter the house?

Go outside!

Who are you to question her?

She's welcome wherever I choose.

Take her wherever you want.

But when you are satiating your craziness,

make sure there's no one around.

Don't let me say your father's history.

Only I was there to bear your filth.

I will do whatever I want.

Just live here by pretending

you didn't see or hear anything.

Got it?

Mother!

Just stay in a corner

eating whatever is there.

If you don't do as I say,

I'll crush you both to death.

Hey Kali, didn't you hear the thottam (song)?

The frantic dance will start now.

Son, get inside.

We are dead if we get in front of Gulikan.

O Lord Gulikan, it couldn't

rise as high as the areca tree

O Lord Gulikan, it couldn't

rise as high as the palm tree

O Lord Gulikan, it couldn't

rise as high as the overcast sky

O Lord Gulikan, it couldn't

rise as high as the ember

The beginning, the end,

and the radiant full moon

Why did it flutter

its eyes at us today?

Scorching beneath the

blazing fire from above

Makkam and her children burned to ashes

Our soil, the red soil

The gold curdled by our women

O Godess, do protect us

Do protect us with your love

Thousand drums of paddy

are swaying in the breeze

The golden women come to reap the paddy

Thousand drums of paddy

are swaying in the breeze

The golden women come to reap the paddy

Who is this woman glowing

in a sliver of light?

Which is this shining star

jumping and twirling around?

Jump and twirl all around!

Jump and twirl all around!

Snuff the burning ember inside you

Fight with all your might

Turn your body into a sword

With the harmony of the waves

The story tightens while sowing

Blood spill all around

This is the arrow

released by the family

Blaze your fire high into the sky!

Change the times

Stand firm on your ground

Like a lightining strike

Take out your sword and ask

Slit the tongue and offer as sacrifice

The earth is shaking when

the village troupe dance

Times have changed

After the sacrifice

Smear turmeric and get blessings

Protect my land

Shower us with blessings

The ember is burning

The paddy fields sang the same tale

The warriors who protected our roots

Await the day of truth to dawn

The overcast sky is changing

Sing the lores as songs,

burn the weeds together

The era of severed

heads and hewn bosoms

The era of worthlessness

and home wrecking

Sever the head of that dark era

Snuff the fire in your body

Snuff the hunger in your stomach

Be the heat of your hut

This has no ending

The fiery figure in the dark

The funny figure in the army

If you come to wreck our

family, it will be your end

The lord who chops off the head

Don't show us your arrogance

Your children will walk

down this path headless

O Goddess, save us

Put an end to this bloodshed

Shower us with flowers

during our good times

Thousand drums of paddy

are swaying in the breeze

The golden women come to reap the paddy

Who is this woman glowing

in a sliver of light?

Which is this shining star

jumping and twirling around?

Jump and twirl around!

Jump and twirl around!

Who gave you permission to

enter the Melamkottu fields?

Before the goddess of

land could sow the seeds,

who gave you permission to enter

the field and ruin it like pigs?

But this is not the field of Melamkottu.

Who told you that this is

not the field of Melamkottu?

You are just the overseer

of Cherupamkottu's field.

Don't forget that!

We only obey the orders of the mansion.

Krishnan Nair is above the mansion!

What?

Isn't it?

Please forgive us this time.

No one needs to ask for forgiveness.

We didn't commit any sin.

-Chinda...

-Yes?

-Don't open the school from tomorrow.

-Okay.

Don't give them rice until I say.

They will understand whose

field it is when they starve.

Don't take away our food, lord.

These creatures aren't

done despite ruining it!

How dare you grab my hand?

Wretch!

I will cut off the hand of

the one who grabbed my hand.

How dare you play with Krishnan Nair?!

Jerk!

Take this too.

Make something tasty

for your sister Narayani.

If anyone is hungry...

tell them to come

when my husband is not here.

I get worried when I think about her.

She got a proposal.

-But she's not interested.

-Why?

Does she like anyone?

What to say?

She likes Kunnumala Ambu...

She's saying she wants only Ambu.

And I also feel...

Ambu is a nice man.

Long ago, it just happened.

I'm the one who sinned.

Give your Narayani to Ambu.

He'll take good care of her.

Her liking him alone is not enough.

Ambu should also

feel the same, right?

I feel sorry for you.

Take this too.

You should handle everything properly.

You can't just take it like that.

When they stay hungry for two days, they

will understand the worth of Melamkottu.

How dare you invite home those who

insulted your husband?

Well, it's with people like these

that you've always kept company.

I can't simply stand

and watch this anymore.

What are you implying?

k*ll them. Cut off his head.

It's in front of everyone

that a Mavedan grabbed his hand.

That too, Ambu.

You're aware of his ego, right?

Yes.

I don't think Krishna Kurup will stay quiet.

And that officer Shanmughan is there

to support all his nonsense.

He should also be k*lled.

If the police catch us, they will

k*ll us, rolling a log over us.

It has happened before.

Oh please!

Let me tell you something.

Veeramala, strychnine tree, forest deity...

We need everything.

So we should keep it close to us

and defeat the Melankottu family.

When the right time comes,

we should seek revenge.

There's a clan meet tomorrow.

We can decide then.

Come here!

Are you a princess to walk

around wearing anklets?

-You're very strong despite being young.

-Let go of me.

Let go of me!

How can I let go of something

I've longed for so deeply?

Hey, let go of her, lord!

Let go of her!

Hasn't your arrogance toned down

even after your husband's death?

If you disobey me, I can be ruthless.

Krishna Kurup will seal

the school tomorrow.

We won't get rice or grains anymore.

We should inform this at the mansion.

Unni Namboodiri should inform them.

Unni, won't you say?

Don't you know my mother

doesn't listen to me?

Anyway, the mansion will take Melamkottu's side.

Here. This is from Melamkottu.

It must be about Ambu.

Ambu is already an outcast.

Now they want us to throw

him out of this village.

But what did Ambu do?

Ambu only stopped him when

he tried to k*ll someone.

Anyway, these three things

shouldn't take place.

We shouldn't let it happen.

They won't close down the school tomorrow.

If we don't get rice, we shall protest.

And Ambu's case...

He won't go anywhere.

Vasu is not the one to

make decisions on this.

If danger befalls us,

we should stand together.

Velichapadu will make the decision.

Isn't it?

Yes, that's how it should be.

Is it okay for Kumar to be standing here?

If Unni from Mansion can

be here, I can also stand.

Don't simply quarrel.

We can inform everything at the mansion.

Let them make a decision.

What do you say, Velichapadu?

Cupid is sh**ting his

arrows into my heart

Oh friend, your face

shines like the moon

Today Padmanabhan is not kind to me

People from Veeramala

have come to meet you.

There are certain rules that are being

followed in this village for years.

Don't try to change them.

Inform this to Ambu too.

Times and customs have changed.

Hey, that's in the South.

It's because I allowed it

that you became a teacher.

Got it?

Lower when it's necessary.

That's all I've got to say for now.

He closed down the school and

it has affected children's studies.

Now he wants to throw

Ambu out of this village.

It's the order from Melamkottu.

We are not getting rice

from Melamkottu anymore.

Just because you are educated...

don't think you can forget the customs.

Don't think that you can rule

between Melamkottu and Cherupamkottu.

Anyway, you won't be denied food.

School will be opened tomorrow.

Vishwa, tell Karmaran to come meet me.

Okay.

Women are not able to walk around

alone because of Krishna Kurup.

We cannot simply stand and

watch this all the time.

Let me make something clear.

Only the one with the sword

needs to be the Velichapadu.

Others don't need to take the sword.

Got it?

I will do the needful.

You may go now.

Come.

There's no use in rubbing a diamond

on a rock to know its worth.

Okay.

Don't you know?

The mountains can collapse.

The trees can fall.

So should I go back to my land?

Or do you want me to destroy

this land with blistering heat?

God, please find a

solution to everything.

Keep this.

Shall I head to the rice-rock

after tasting my fish and meat?

Hold this.

I want to say something.

Narayani is not able to walk around freely

because of Krishna Kurup.

He's saying there isn't any woman

here who hasn't slept with him.

I haven't slept with him.

And I won't give my sister too.

Father, we have informed

everything at Cherupakottu.

Kamaran has been called to the mansion.

The Lady said she would

find a solution for everything.

The Lady will keep her word.

Let her find a solution to everything.

Our first priority is the rice for gruel.

The other things can wait.

Velichapadu is leaving.

Everyone, take your torches.

You should put the torches

outside your huts.

The forest deity will guard you.

We don't need another light today.

Be inside your houses.

Don't step out.

There's Gulikan sprint tonight.

Heading to Melamkottu in the

name of the forest deity?

I know everything about your discussions.

Where's Mavedan Mangodan?

Yes?

You were here?

What are you going to do?

Kunnumala Ambu needs to be

thrown out of the village.

What have you decided?

-We'll decide that after three days.

-Not possible!

You people opened the

school that I closed down.

Today! Today you should make a decision.

Wait till morning.

Then why did you have a meeting?

He laid his hand on me...

I won't spare him.

We will make the right decision.

We are going down the hills now.

One and a half hours after the kolam dance.

We shouldn't stay here beyond that.

No one will move from here.

You can leave only after making a decision.

After the ceremonies here,

the Gulikan sprint starts.

Dont cause us trouble.

Don't simply boil your blood.

Things won't work here by

whispering things to the Lady.

I'm the one who makes decisions here.

Only that will happen.

Heard it?

Chinda, come on!

Narayani, see you later.

Sister, why did you say

unnecessary things at the meeting?

I wanted everyone to know that.

He can't do as he wishes anymore here.

The boys have started to fight back.

Labour pain has started for Kunjathi.

Maathi is alone there.

You go home quickly.

Let me go check in on them.

Don't open the door if anyone knocks.

-Gulikan sprint has started.

-Go quickly.

All this happened because I didn't

mention at home about going to the field.

I wish I had informed them.

This wouldn't have happened then.

Do you think your father

would have agreed?

He just needed a reason.

Kanna, someone has been

found dead by the falls.

-Who's it?

-Don't know. Come, let's check.

Oh no!

Sister!

Sister!

I had gone to the crime spot.

Is there anything

suspicious about her death?

No. The inquest is over.

-Kammara?

-Yes

So what about the school?

Melankottu runs the school.

But the school belongs to the mansion.

You need to ask me before closing it.

Looks like Meenakshi's father didn't

say anything about it before dying.

Anyway, the school will be opened.

Lady, please forgive us.

Karichi had shared her

worries with me before dying.

It was on the same day that Krishna

Kurup came and made a scene.

We doubt him.

A branch pierced through her.

Her death happened during the fall.

There isn't anything

suspicious about her death.

Ambu had seen it.

She was shot.

They both are friends.

They are bound to team up against us.

Hey, I will slit your tongue

and throw it to the dog.

-Wretch!

-Move aside!

Hey, don't think you can take

the law into your own hands.

You should resolve the

problems right here.

Got it?

-You know what happens if the police interfere, right?

-Vasu!

There are people here to make decisions.

They will do it.

Just do as they say!

Please make a decision

in Ambu's matter as well.

Ambu, my foot!

He raised his hand against me.

Don't think I will let that go.

I haven't done anything.

When Krishna Kurup tried to k*ll

Kunjipennu, I stopped him.

That's all I did.

It was my father who hit Ambu.

Don't open your mouth.

We're here to make decisions.

Krishna!

I will make decisions here.

For years, whenever something

happens within these four hills,

it has been in this mansion

that it gets resolved.

Don't forget that.

Ambu will stay in Veeramala.

I don't want anyone to forget

their place and repeat this.

This is my decision!

Only that will happen here.

Karichi is gone.

Now we need to make a decision

regarding Narayani's future.

Let's hear what she has got to say.

If she's willing, I'm ready to marry her.

I...

I want to go with Ambu.

If that's what she wants, then let it be.

What say, Ambu?

Marriage soon after his ban got lifted?

That won't happen.

That's what I wish for.

I don't have anyone.

What do you all think?

We're okay with it.

Say that you're okay with it.

We don't have any problem.

Then let's arrange their

wedding this month.

-Is that okay, Velichapadu?

-Yes

Why are we standing here?

Marriage it seems!

Let's go.

Alcohol would make you fight.

Weed would make you high.

It's not the alcohol or weed.

Theres only one thing I

desired that I didnt get.

That's her.

Nair, who's that girl you

couldn't get your hands on?

That too in this land.

Narayani.

It's not like I didn't get her.

I just let her go.

To chase her down and catch her later.

That's when...

That Ambu...

Nair...

Nair...

You do whatever you want.

I'm there with you.

I'll make it happen.

Will you sh**t down?

Not her...

Ambu.

If she doesn't agree, then Narayani too.

It's so hot, right?

Here. Tie them well when you get up.

I guess it was full of thorns.

My hand is hurting from it.

Got tired?

-Ambu!

-Narayani doesn't need anyone else now.

-Hey, Ambu.

-She looks happy now.

Please wait there.

I'm getting late.

I have to go for guard duty.

So what? Aren't you supposed to

talk when you go for guard duty?

What do you want me to say?

When you come back, can

you get me something?

Is this what you wanted to say?

What do you want?

Something I like.

Doesn't it have a name?

Come, let's go.

-Fig.

-Where's it available now?

If you search for it with

love, you will find it.

Ambu, you look happy now

that your wedding is fixed.

Don't fall for her charms.

She isn't what she seems to me.

She knows all sorts of traps.

You mind your own business.

I know her well.

-You'll understand that soon.

-No problem. Get lost!

A ton of love is coming down the hill

Will the night bloom tonight

and the sky turn crimson?

A ton of love is coming down the hill

Will the night bloom tonight

and the sky turn crimson?

The winter snow showers on

the hills, making it cold

The wild stream is coming

down the hills to sing tales

It's wedding time for the maiden girl

She carries a garland in her hand

The drum is filled with paddy grains

There are bunches of paddy in them

It's wedding time for the maiden girl

She carries a garland in her hand

The drum is filled with paddy grains

There are bunches of paddy in them

It's wedding time for the maiden girl

She carries a garland in her hand

The drum is filled with paddy grains

There are bunches of paddy in them

Kumaran, I asked you to water the fields.

Why didn't you do it?

Yes...

Oye, what happened?

Kunjikadichina was attacked by a tiger.

We're taking him to the doctor.

It must have come from the Chola Hills.

There was no problem for a

while, but it has started again.

Who's in charge of guarding that hill?

No one goes there anymore out of fear.

Knock some sense into Krishnan.

He's on the wrong path.

He doesn't listen to anyone.

He will understand that when he falters.

Don't expect anyone from here to save him.

Please tell me what I should do.

Ask him to behave properly.

Karichi's k*ller...

It must be him.

Who else has a g*n here?

If they get provoked, they

will come at us like wild bees.

They will attack everyone.

The loss is ours.

Understood?

You didn't get the thing

I asked for, right?

I saw it in a place.

Then why didn't you bring it?

I'll bring it tomorrow.

Sure?

Hm.

Always a 'hm' for everything.

Your g*dd*mn hm!

Don't you feel cold?

Ambu...

Ambu!

Ambu...

What's it?

What brings you here at night?

Melankottu has ordered you to

guard the Chola hills tonight.

-Tonight?

-Yes.

Virunthan is down with a fever.

So he asked you to go instead.

-Can't someone else go tonight?

-No, he said you must go.

Come.

Ambu, make it fast.

Okay.

Do you have to go?

There's Gulikan dance tonight.

We worked hard to cultivate it.

How can I let elephants and pigs ruin it?

When will you be back?

I will come early.

You close the door and go to sleep.

So he loves me.

Narayani...

Narayani...

This is the fourth person in a row.

This is not the first or second death...

There have been a lot of sacrifices.

I don't think anyone did it alone.

No one can take Ambu

down on their own.

These bootlickers know everything

that goes on around here.

Tell us the truth now.

We'll let you go after that.

Hey!

Move back!

I said move!

Let go of him.

Move aside!

Move!

I'll finish you off! Jerks!

If you don't enforce the law, we

will take matters into our own hands.

Don't try to support him anymore, sir.

We will finish him off today.

You haven't grown enough for that.

Even if you dare to do it,

we know how to stop you.

Didn't you ask us for evidence that day?

We have clear evidence.

That's why we are saying this.

He's not the one who k*lled Ambu.

He was in Narayani's hut until morning.

-She was alone there.

-How dare you lie, wretch?

Kannan!

Move!

-Let go of me.

-Hey!

k*ll him!

I'm not simply carrying this with me.

Got it? Wretch!

If you move, I'll finish you all off.

Come on!

We can't just ignore what Kumaran said.

He said Krishna Kurup was

with Narayani till morning.

And Ambu had gone for guard duty.

She's not saying anything.

She's not in a state to speak right now.

-Didn't Krishnan come?

-No.

He won't come.

He's scared to come here.

Don't talk back to me.

It's to talk that we have come.

We haven't fought or protested until now.

We have only put up with everything.

And now people have started

to lose their lives.

It's our siblings who are

getting k*lled every day.

Pokattu.. Karichi... Ambu...

We don't know who's next.

Who died? Who k*lled?

Just because we didn't say

anything, don't try to dominate us.

Heard it?

Who said that Krishnan was in

Narayani's home last night?

It was me.

Has Narayani come?

Make her tell the truth.

Is there any truth in what he said?

There's no use in crying.

Just say the truth.

If you tell the truth now...

you can save your land from a big danger.

Otherwise, you'll witness people

fighting each other to death.

Krishna Kurup will be here.

Let's look here.

We can decide the rest after that.

Lord...

Lord...

Lord...

Look inside.

Lord!

Lord...

Lord...

I think she k*lled him.

Lord...

He's not dead. Carry him.

Hold him.

I didn't do it to k*ll him.

But now I feel I should have k*lled him.

I don't think Krishna Kurup did it.

-It's outside work.

-I think he made someone do it.

Look, I found this near Ambu's body.

If we find its owner,

we can find the k*ller.

This is false evidence.

Don't think you can save him with this.

I think it's someone among us.

Simply blaming it on Krishna Kurup.

Vishwa, bring your astrology board.

In the name of the God...

on this twelve-column astrology board...

let the planets speak.

If this land needs redemption, Ambu

should be made into a theyyam figure.

On the 10th day of the month of Medam,

the powerful avatars will appear.

With the break of dawn,

this land will be redeemed.

-Kammara...

-Yes?

Let Krishnan be the master of the ceremony.

It will serve as atonement

for the mistakes he made.

Mangodu, aren't you descended

from Mandyan's lineage?

Yes.

So let your son Kannan be

the Ambu Theyyam figure.

Is that okay, Mangodan?

Yes. Let it be so.

Everyone may leave now.

They are trying to trap

us with the theyyam.

Let's finish off Nair wherever we find him.

Stoking the fire,

fading memories ignite

Dark memories hurt me inside

Your shadows no longer

appear in streams

Your whistling is no

longer heard in sun rays

There are no songs or tunes

I'm alone hereafter

O guardian angel!

O feathery angel!

You have disappeared

Stoking the fire,

fading memories ignite

Dark memories hurt me inside

Your memories haven't left me

It cools me in summer like wild mist

There's not even a ray of

light, it's utter darkness

The bat took flight, night fell

This path turned into an abyss

O guardian angel!

O feathery angel!

You have disappeared

Stoking the fire,

fading memories ignite

Dark memories hurt me inside

Your shadows no longer

appear in streams

Your whistling is no

longer heard in sun rays

There are no songs or tunes

I'm alone hereafter

O guardian angel!

O feathery angel!

You have disappeared

I wanted to tell you this earlier.

But you...

I didn't know how you would take it.

And Ambu didn't want you to know it.

But all this time...

He was near me...

But I couldn't call him 'father' even once.

I feel sad when I think of my mother.

She buried everything inside her...

and endured everything.

Krishna Kurup came from the South

many years ago to do sawing work.

Kammaran Nair came up with

this idea to save his brother,

who was involved in a case there.

And your grandfather agreed to it to

avoid the mansion's name getting ruined.

Didn't I tell you to

keep a tight rein on him?

Since I came up with an idea that

day, you and Krishnan were spared.

If Mavedans decide to stop working,

we won't get any food.

They will come back

when they get hungry.

They will boil wild potatoes and eat.

We can't do it, right?

Listen, the forest deity

and Gulikan of Veeramala...

both are very powerful.

If the Mavedans get hurt,

they won't sit quietly.

Go, tell him to drop his ego.

Okay.

Did you understand what I said?

Krishnan is not someone

who accepts defeat easily.

Krishna, try to understand the situation.

You won't be able to make them

your sl*ves at gunpoint anymore.

No one will do anything.

We will have no way out then.

The Lady washed her hands of us.

If Cherupakottu abandons us, we won't

even get a piece of land.

Don't you know?

No one will help you.

Not even me.

I'm someone who came here empty-handed.

But I won't be like that when I go back.

If you are going to continue like this...

Sreedevi and Meenakshi will disown you.

If anyone comes against me, I'll k*ll them.

Even if that's you.

I'll k*ll you too.

It's not with my hands...

It's with Krishnan's

hands you're going to die.

Tonight...

There won't be anyone in

any of the houses tonight.

Everyone will be in Veeramala.

Because of the sound of drums and

crackers, no one will hear us.

We should take whatever we can.

There's a vault in that house.

It's full of gold.

Won't the Lady and

your daughter be there?

You don't need to worry about that.

I will take care of them.

The Mavedans will become

stronger after tonight.

We should do it before that.

Don't worry, Nair.

We can bring armed forces.

We can finish everyone off by night.

Naxal hunt!

That's going to be Krishnan Nair's

gift for Veeramala's Ambu Theyyam.

Human sacrifice!

What's it?

-Bottle.

-Keep it and leave!

I'm not going to take part in anything.

I'll finish off the Mavedans today.

But you and Chindan will get enough

to live the rest of your lives.

Just do as I say.

You'll be safe.

No one will find out about this.

Just mix this with the

jaggery rice and give it to them.

Lord, is it necessary to k*ll them?

Just do as I say!

What are you doing here?

Aren't you done k*lling people?

No! I'll leave only after I'm done.

Go!

Father, let go of me.

Father!

Father, let go of me.

Mother!

-Father!

-Stay there!

What are you doing?

-Have you gone crazy?

-Yes, I have!

My craziness will end only if

I k*ll you and your daughter.

Father, open the door!

Father, open.

Open the door!

Open!

Father!

Someone please open the door.

Come fast.

Offer rice to the sacred

sword and take blessings.

Forest deity, grant me your

presence to fulfill our desires.

Krishnan wasn't alone when

he k*lled Karichi and Ambu.

Gulikan was there with him.

It's not known who dresses up as Gulikan.

Both of them are going to

finish everyone off tonight.

My daughter and Meenakshi...

They are in danger.

Save them.

Save them!

Run!

Run out of the forest.

You were betraying us all this time?

Vasu, come fast!

Gulikan sprint will start now.

Why do you want to become Gulikan?

Don't k*ll. May you become

a Gulikan to do good deeds.

If she's willing, I'm ready to marry her.

I'm ready to marry her.

Didn't I tell you that I like her?

I want to go with Ambu.
