What is he going to do?
It will bring trouble
Come
You swine... Move
Take it. Com e fast
Leave me
You leave me...
Run... Take the vehicle

(Announcement from the mosque)
Ijaz, 32 years, son of Pazhangad Kochuparambil Ummer Master
died in Syria. Condolences
Let Allah bless the deceased
Greetings, President
When?
Isn't that investigated by NIA?
Okay Okayfifl I will tell the CI
Sir, that old NIA case...
Which one? - That Ummer Mastefs son's...
Panchayat President has called to tell that he got killed while in Syria
There was someone else also with him... What was his name? Ijaz?
No sir. Ijaz was the one who got killed
Panchayat president said there is a WhatsApp message informing his killing
There is no information about the other person
It's a burden for us, Joseph...
You go now. Let me call SP
Jinu, our channel is breaking the news first
Not just that we reported first that Ijaz and family went to Syria from Saudi to join a terrorist outfit
From a land like Kerala...
Aflthe mindset of those who go to join IS is surprising
Terrible
Many things done in the name of Islam is un-Islamic
The Holy Quran doesn't approve all these
Islam is the religion of peace
It is forthe unseen heaven...
that they destroy this beautiful world...
and become suicide bombers to live with beauties
What a pity!
We had earlier reported that during the recent past ljaz and his friend Navas were included those who went to join IS
There is no news yet about Navas
Sradha, the news about ljaz's death was informed to Ummefs family by his wife through Whatsapp
This was first brought out by our channel
Notjust that. The news of Ijaz and his wife Riya going to Syria...
...was also first reported by our channel
Okay Reshmi
In the terrorist attacks that happened in Sri Lanka during Easter...
...NIA is investigating the involvement of ljaz's 913F191
Greetings
Brother, my daughter...
By God's grace, there is no issues for her as per latest info
Come
I don't know anything more than this, Sulaiman
Sulaiman, please don't ask anything more to Um mer. You sit there
My son...
We knew about this from Riya's message
How will she and their son bear it?
Don't cry, Nabeesu
Thinkthat is God's decision
We have to suffer this pain
I haven't even seen the face of my grandchild
Don't cry, daughter
Don't cry, Nabeesu
Drink this. - I don't want, Khadeeja
How can you survive without eating and drinking anything?
Have this... Drink a little
Um mer... What is that we are hearing?
I don't know
I don't know anything
Listen to this...
This is me Riya. Greetings
He has left, dad
Yesterday noon while we were having lunch...
commandos came and took him
It was late in the night
that they came and informed
he has died
Here me and my son are with five women from Mum bai and Hyderabad
There is no information abouttheir husbands or my husband's friend Navas
There are only gun shots all around
lam scared, father
We can't escape from here
Forgive us
We could not live the way you would have wanted
Please convey my regards to Mom...
What a good boy he was
What happened to him?
Madness
Total madness
The fanaticism where humans are not seen as such and instead divided into religion and caste
I had decided not to shed a teardrop for him
But when I saw you...
He defeated me
What have I become after teaching for 30 years?
The father of a terrorist who died fighting for the IS
Don't say like that
Stop there
Ummer
They ruined my son
Get out of my house
Greetings... please take your seat, sir
You sit, sir
Muhammed, you sit as well
Sit
We came just as part of a formality
It's a case investigated by NIA. They called us
They will reach here soon
Consider this as a routine police enquiry before that
How did you know about the death?
Sir, the boy who died is called Ijaz
His wife had sent a message to Ummer saying this
At what time did you getthis message?
After7 in the morning
That message? - This is the one, sir
He is gone, father
Ijaz went to Syria from Saudi?
Yes sir
How was he? Was he involved with any groups while he was here?
No sir
Yes sir
He was angry when I asked him about some books that he was reading
That was the beginning
Then there were some new friends
Ithought he left it all when he reached Saudi
But...
Okay... Okay
Sir, SP is coming to our office
Master...
I can't assure you
If I get your son's body...
I don't want to see, sir
He did not die fighting for his country...
lam adevout Muslim
He did something that God will never forgive
I don't want to see
He has a son
My grandson
Muhammed Sherif
If he is found
please hand him overto me
I wantto grow him as a human
Here comes Thomachan
Give me some space
Slowly
How was the celebration? - Not that great?
It was his wish. So I gave the nod
Isn't that the right thing to do?
They have to live together
In these times it is foolish to think that our children should live like us
We are no longer young
Even if Thomachan had not agreed
He would have married that girl
That was why I agreed even though they are converted
No wonder there is the old saying about not to depend too much on kids or sprouts
See Ummer's case now
It is a bit too hard for him
He had great hopes
Compared to that Thomachan is lucky
Me? Lucky?
The luckiest among us is Muhammed
Our children should learn from Shanavas
When are you going for Haj
This Thursday
You forgot what I said?
I forgot in the midst of this marriage
If I was in Muhammed's place...
I would have gone for 4 or 5 Haj trips
(reciting a holy verse from the Holy Quran)
This is what Quran says
Which means
If it is possible for you...
If you have no enmity towards anyone
If you are not indebted to yourfriends or relatives
If you have Halal wealth
You should go for Haj once
It is said "once"
Sunnath is what is done twice or thrice... Just a ritual
Wealth is not the criteria when it comes to Haj, Moideen
Have you noticed the dressing style ofthose who do 'tawaf?
Before God the rich and the poor is alike.. is the message
See.. this is the fact
True
Allah... what is this?
There are so many dishes today
It is from Sulochana's house
Today was there was a ceremony at their house
I had told them while going to Ponnani that I can't reach there
The wedding of Thomachan's son was also today
So finally Thomachan agreed?
He did...
But he is not fully convinced
Why?
Did you have your medicine? - Yes I did
And the breathing pump?
That I will do while going to bed
This is your problem
I have to keep a tab of everything
Let me ask you something
When you go for Haj
Who is there to ask me all this?
That is why I said we will go for Haj together
Then she has breathing problems
It's not the reason
You are scared to fly
How relieved Iwould have been if you were there too?
If you go it's the same... like me going
This time I will have special prayers so that yourfear to travel in aeroplanes is over
Just to show me
I saw
It's going to rain
Are any clothes lying outside?
Nothing outside
Will know in the morning
Have to go to Eriyad in the morning
Need to get blessings from aunt
Will she?
I don't know
The fight is almost 45 years old. She would forgive
That is because you don't know her well
I have no hopes
After dad died, even before completing 40 days...
uncle had left the house with aunt after demanding their share
They didn't inform even when he died
God... the power goes when lightning begins
I don't think power will come tonight. You sleep now
Why has the inverter not been repaired yet?
The mechanic is not well
You go and sleep
Who are you?
Sister... I am Muhammed, from Edavanakkad
Oh God... Please come in
I didn't recognise you... -lt has been so many years now
Please come inside
Please sit
Where is Moothumma?
She is lying down
Who is there?
It's me, brother
God... who is this!
Are you fine? - Seeing you is the greatest happiness
Sit here
How are you, son?
I am going for Haj
When?
This Thursday? - Which Thursday?
Coming Thursday
Good
I came to seek aunt's blessings
Aunt?
Why are you standing here? - Go and make tea
Oh I forgot that
Moothumma, you didn't say anything
You come
We all thoughts it's her regular attitude. Later we realised it is because of her illness
It has been like this for more than an year now
Did she understand what all I said?
Of course she did
She will ask about it. Maybe today or two days later. She would...
This is okay. At times she become really stubborn
She will get things done with her attitude
Brother, when she asks please tell her that I came and that I am going for Haj
Shall I leave now?
If I made you sad with my deeds...
Please forgive me
Before my dad died...
He told me something
He told me there will be day when I would have to tell you this as well
After the death of dad's younger brother
Dad made the issues deliberately
The plan was to do partition and to leave the ancestral place
Even if it was me in his place...
I would have done the same
I don't understand what you are saying. Can you be more clear'?
Seven girls, two boys and the parents
Your dad died when 11 of us were in dire straits
You, your sisters and your mother...
when it came to taking the burden of four more...
Dad's idea was that family feud...
The desperation of a man who found it hard to feed eleven
Leave it brother. It's all over now
Yes
But dad was remorseful about itfifl until his death
Even when he was away, dad loved you a lot
He was proud about your efforts that saved the family
He said only thing while in his death bed
To tell you this one day
You have to forgive us, son
God, how hot it is...
Your children and grand children have come, right?
I am on my way back from Eriyad. They did call me
Brother, Gold...
George... - How come you are here?
I came to have a Iimejuice. - I was about to come to your place
But then Ifell ill
The AC in the inverter... - How will there be AC in inverter?
That AC is not this one - Then which AC
AC -Alternating Current
There are so many things that you don't know
The AC and capacitor ofthat inverter is not available anywhere
I have ordered it at a place. They will deliver the moment they get it.
I will repair it right then
Your fever is gone?
It is actually there inside... I am really tired
You are smoking even then? - Cigarette?
Yes. You asked for **. Here it is
I said cold. The tablet for cold.
Is this a medicine store to sell tablets?
You boughtthe same cigarette yesterday as well
How much lies you are saying?
If you don't have it, say so
I will come with the AC then. - Okay
If you want the cigarette you take it. Or else I will keep it inside.
If we smoke this... with vicks... it is good for coldfifl
,A1]They say it works...
I will come then. - Okay
You wait for your feverto go. - George there. Stop the car.
I will come to your place tomorrow
Not tomorrow. You get inside now
Get in now
Go now
Finally, George's issue has been solved
Will they beat him up? - No
If you cheat others without doing yourjob this is what happens
Three batteries too
You are the only one who buy batteries even now
All others have upgraded themselves to electric torches and emergency lamps
My dad used to take this torch long back
Only this remains that was with my dad
It is still in good condition. It works.
Here is the money. Keep the change. Let me go
Dad has come
Greetings
The journey was good?
Ameer, you have gained weight? Hello Riyas
Your mom said you all didn't get tickets together
We were planning to come with Shanu. He is always busy
Or else me and Alnama would have come two days earlier
Is it so? Anyways good to see you all together
Where are the kids? - They are inside
Grandpa's children... you come here
You became thin? You have started wearing glasses?
Where is our Ummukulsu?
What is she doing there? - She is into something there. You come with us
What is that?
What is she doing all alone there?
Where? - Right there
You smart girl...
Looks like a bride
Come here
We have been telling you for so long to keep a maid
Isn't it?
Alnama, you don't know your dad's nature?
He won't eat anything other than what I make
You say something that is possible
Don't blame our dad, Mom
We know you well
You don't like us getting into the kitchenmforget maid then
How hot it is
You start sweating once you go out
Did you meet aunt?
Things are not like what we imagine
Moothumma has no memory
I have told them about going for Haj
It's good that I went there for blessings forgetting the fights
Will any ofthem come here?
Majeed will come
There is some news
Alnama is pregnant
This is theirfourth, right?
Riyas has nothing else to do?
Why do you say this about our kids?
Still there should be some reason
Dinner is ready?
Rice gruel and gram, right? That is ready. - No, the kids are here
They are cooking in the kitchen
Let me lie down forawhile
My father is also going for Haj in the same flight as you
Please take care of him too
He is still very active. Tell him to take care of me.
Isn't that our Salam? - Yes, Beedi Salam
The one who cheated you
You carry on. I will be back
Don't forget Thursday's matter
Where were you all this while, Salam?
I was in Bombay. I was planning to meet you
Where is Jameela and your kids?
They are all gone, brother
My troubles started when I went away with your money
They all left me
Don't cry. Where do you live now?
I have back to my ancestral house. My parents have been telling me to meet you and apologise
But I stayed away as I was ashamed to face you
Forgive me
That is okay. I know you were too naive to do it so
Anyone can make a mistake
I had seen you like my Shanu
That is my only grief
Stop cryif19
For all the deeds... Pray to God asking for forgiveness
Go now
Go and pray
Come home this Thursday evening
I am going for Haj
Dad, here is your phone
Riyas, Sameer had called
He said he won't come today - Is it so?
Shanu, what do you plan to give those who come on Thursday?
Th ursday? Yes
Mom, what did Dad say about the food on Thursday?
You all can decide about it, right?
If it is so then why can't we order it from some catering service?
They will take care of everything
Dad doesn't like too much extravagance
Anyways, maximum a biryani... right?
That is enough
Then why go for catering service? It is biryani, right?
That we can manage ourselves
You didn't have food?
You come here, cutie pie
Shall I give you biryani?
Is she having?
Why are you having rice gruel and gram?
It was my habit for quite long
Dad is content if he has a blue shirt and rice gruel and gram
I haven't forgotten anything asl didn't change my habits, son
When they all left, it has all become so silent
At least the kids could have stayed back
Will you let your kids stay away?
Even this Shanu used to sleep with us in the bed until he was in his eight standard, right?
Alnama and Sulnama used to sleep with us until their marriage
Our children are repeating what we did, that's all
When you go for Haj I will ask them all to stay here
They live in their houses only when they come on leave
You do one thing. You go and stay with each ofthem when I go forthe Haj
You need a change as well
I can't do that
I can't sleep if I stay elsewhere
And then she blames the children
I saw our Salam today
At the mosque
He looks insane now
Did you talk to him?
After he did all the harm?
Not one ortwo... 20 Iakhs
He took 20 Iakhs...
Can we forget that so fast?
We saw him like our own son... and not even as Shanu's friend
leave it
Still... it was with the advance for Shanu's plot...
Aflthat he went away
Take this
Come... lie down
Now you feel better?
Lie down then
You don't listen to me when I tell you not to panic over unnecessary things
If you won't panic, I will tell you one more thing
Tomorrow is the registration in our children's name
The shops in the town are for Shanu, right?
It is well earning
We already have given enough dowry for Alnama and Sulnama
What?
Nothing... it would be a surprise if an average mother doesn't say this
You lie down now
Will go to Vincent to see the draft, tomorrow morning
The registration is at 11.30
The rights of your daughters in the properties including the shops...
will be there respectively for their husbands too
Yes
It's a joint document, isn't it?
For the son too?
My son's wife is my own daughter, sir'?
I have no doubts about the joint ownership
Can I sign? - Yes
As per Sharia law, while sharing the properties...
half of what is given to sons need to be given for daughters
But I have shown any difference between my son or daughters
I have shared the properties equally
Are you sad about it?
What for, dad?
Do you feel you got less?
Aren't they my sisters, dad?
Even if you give our share to them, we will be happy
There is nothing more than being your children
I forgot to tell you something. - What?
I saw Suhara aunty at Dubai airport
She was going to London
I told her aboutyou going for Haj
It can't happen, Muhammed. Keep that wish to your mind
Good idea to marry off your sisters
You won't marry Suhara until I am alive
Dad, are we going home straight?
What? - Going home straight?
No... we have to meet someone
You go to Thamaravattam, son
O Kay
Son. isn't this A C Suresh's house?
AC? Grandpa...
What happened. children?
Who is that?
You didn't understand me?
It is me, Muhammed
We studied in Class VII together in the government school
K P Muhammed? - Yes, that one
Come, let's sit there
Daughter, bring a chair. - I will sit here. I don't need a chair
Your clothes will be soiled. - That's okay
Who? - My old friend, Muhammed
What's her name? - Susheela
You make tea
Your daughter'? - My daughter in law
What is your son doing? - He is a painting worker
You don't paint now?
After the coming of flex, drawing is less
How did you find my house?
You brought me here, during atemple festival
You had great memory even then
Why did you come in search of me now?
I wanted to tell you something
I am going for Haj
When? - Tomorrow
We have some rituals before going for Haj
If we have done something wrong to anyone, we have to go and apologise and make things right
Have tea. -lt's black tea
That is fine, daughter
I came to seek your approval
From me?
What for?
You remem berthe day when our results for Class VII cam e?
We all got promoted to VIII
You and Kaleshan failed
When you failed, everyone mocked you
You got angry and you pushed me hard
from the ground I threw a stone, still lying down
When blood started coming out of your forehead, I ran away
I still remember you covering the wound and standing there, crying
My dear Muhammed, I have forgotten it all by now
I can't forget all that
You have to forgive me for the sin that I did then
What are you saying, Muhammed?
What all we do during younger days without knowing
You forget it now
Will you come to my house today evening?
No need forthat, Muhammed. - Why? You have to come
I will believe you have forgiven only if you come
You to come for sure
Muhammed
After all these years, how come you haven't forgotten that day?
My dad died that day
Leave Alnama this time. Let her be here for two months
Greetings... you go inside, daughter
Com here, son. Sit there
Who is this?
Umma (Mother)...
How long it has been since we met
That's why I came as well. - Good
Alnama, you know who this is? - Of course, we remember it all
We won't forget even if you do. She missed her Gulftrip because of yourflying sickness
Keep laughing
If she hadn't taken care of me at the AirPort like a family member, I would have been in the graveyard
Allahfifl who is this
She has been insisting to come to your house from morning
Come inside, aunt
Shanu, see who has come
Do you remem ber all of us, aunt?
She is not in a state to identify all
This is your daughter in law
Khadeeja, you take her inside
Come inside, brother
This is Thomachan. This is Ummer Master
You sit. I will bring something to drink
Take something to drink
You are still staying in Eriyad, right?
He was really tense when he set out to meet you
He didn't know how you would receive him
Anyways, all good. He has no one else as his brother
I know
But... we were sad about leaving him alone. That was why we didn't meet him after dad's death
God will shower his blessings
I have seen once. Do you remember?
When uncle died, isn't it sister?
She sat there with a poker face even then
Did you understand who these are?
My daughters. Alnama and Sulnama
This is my daughter in law
This is brother's only son, Shanavas
We call him Shanu
Do you know me?
God
Doctor, this is Shanu. I will givethe phone to dad.
One minute
Greetings doctor. You are not seen here yet
One of my patients is serious here
Okay. Patients' issues are obviously more important
You bought all the medicines that I prescribed?
All those medicines have been bought and packed
It shouldn't just be left like that. You have to takethem as well.
Iwill... lwill have them promptly
Okay doctor. I will pray for you too
Okay doctor
Is that Suresh?
Why is he hesitant?
Suresh, why did you remain here?
Since you asked me to come. - Good
Shall I leave? - Then why did you come?
To go. - You come inside
No Muhammed. I will come later
You come inside, Suresh
You are coming to my home forthe firsttime
You come here
Ummer, you recognise him?
This Suresh. He studied with us
The one whom you threw a stone at?
Thamaravattom Suresh? - Yes, the same person
You come and sit here
This is Majeedikka
Suresh, you recognised me?
You know him?
He was there when I studied in Class VII
He created record in school as a failure
Is there any class where you haven't failed?
I have failed in 5th, 6th and 7th
Then what about 2nd and 3rd? - That was long back
When my elder sister's daughter came in the same class I stopped going to school
When classmate was calling me "uncle" it was shameful
It's not the studies but our pride is more important
It seems we are late. - No, we aren't
You have the snacks
Rameshan and Sadiq are missing. - Rameshan's kid had to be taken to hospital
Sadiq will come for sure
Salam... Greetings
Happy that you came
Salam, it has been so long since we met
What happened?
I thought you will be furious to see me
Please forgive me
What for?
It's all over
Come and meet mom
Go
I am chanting twaha to the creator ofthe world
I am a droplet in the soul of an ocean that you are, my Lord
From Mecca to Madeena
I travelled to all the abodes of Nabi
Thejourney to find thetrue self in me
Allah...you are the beginning and my only resort
All become equal here through the Lord
Let my mind travel in the sacred path of God
The amazing journey begins with the kiss at Hajar al aswad
You find the eternal spirit from source of the holy Zamzam
Shed the heaviness of sins at Mina
You go on this holy trip
The invisible Lord owns of the whole world
I hereby present myself to you in a platter
After clearing off all the debts here I come towards the moonlight
I am a slave to the love that vanishes all the borders
Shall I leave then?
Shanu, it is cloudy. You give an umbrella to Ummer Master
Won't you pray for my son too?
You need to tell me that?
He is like my son Shanu
It's heavy rains
Isn't that Suhara?
Why do you both look so shocked?
If you see your childhood sweethgart accidentally after some decades,A1]
Aflanyone will be shocked
When did you come, Suhara?
Iam on my way
Lord... what am I seeing?
Alnama,Sulnama,A1]look who has come
Come
I learned about the news. My condolences
You come inside
Son, give methe umbrella
Suhara, all these years without seeing us alLAfl alone
Before he died dad wanted to see you
Even the day before he passed away, he was really sad
He was so repentant about not letting you marry my brother
After not doing at the right time, what is the use of such repentance?
We thoughtyou will come when your dad passed away
I had decided not to come back here
I am his daughter. I will be stubborn too
In short... me,Alnama and Sulnama should have been born as Suhara aunty's children
Why didn't you marry? Was it because of your anger foryour dad orforthe love for our dad?
Both
Our dad is still very romantic, right mom?
Did you go home?
I came here straight from the airport
Shanu told he saw you at Dubai airport
But I didn't expect you to come here today
Me too
I don't know why. I felt like seeing you yesterday evening
I forgot to askyou. What do you want to drink?
Nothing. - Tea orjuice?
I don't want anything. - Still you came here forthe first time
Then, shall I bring biryani?
I had food from flight. I don't need anything
Have you everfelt angry at me, like you had for your dad?
No
It was actually not my angertowards dad that made me go from here
It was the love for you
If you had asked me to come, Iwould have
But as we two were to become one, our families would have been split forever
Though my dad told it as a ridicule, I didn't want to be burden as you were struggling to marry off your sisters
I wanted to take a medicine
I have breathing issues. This is the medicine for that
She doesn't seem to trust us
Not because of that
Any woman would be wary if she sees her husband in front of their bedroom with the lady whom he loved the most
Maybe
True
When are you going back?
Suhara...
When are you going back?
Tom orrow
Tomorrow itself
We won't meet again
And a comeback
Shall I go? - You have to go tonight itself?
I have to go. I had told brother that lwill come, while at the airport
Shall I go?
When will we see you again?
Inshallah" we will see
Shall I go? - This early?
Ihave to go
If you hadn't come, his Haj wouldn't have been complete
He is lucky
Iwon
My God
By the side of the window of love
My dove... with feathers of rainbow
Without ever closing my eyes...
Iwaited for you day and night
Will I ever get enough of
the enchanting sweetness
The two hearts are flowing as one river
Who is he for you? - We are in love
(I will wait for you outside the house at 11 pm)
Is it the wedding string that blossoms as the golden shower'?
One photo please. They are the witnesses
You dissolve into every cell of mine as moonlight
Won't you spread into the pages of my life?
We become one in our beautiful hut made of dreams
The rays of dawn comes like the smile of a newborn
My world opens with you... my 'mother bird'
You wear the goodness of your soul in your feathers
My life will shine with you without fading ever
You gave me a caring shadefrom the sun
Shine as afull moon in my next life too, my beloved
Come here... - You leave her alone
Krishnetta... You are pampering her. Don't forget. She is a girl
She was a girl too
Then your Indira Gandhi is yet to brush her teeth
Take your umbrella
Eat your lunch
Krishnetta...
Still asleep? You know what time it is?
Krishnettafifl Get up. Time to wake up
How many years I have been telling you this?
It's already late
It has been five years since Sreekutty came
You get up now. You don't have to go the workshop today?
Go and take bath
Sreekutty has left?
To the workshop?
No. To the school. - She just left
I managed somehow to send her
Then let it be a son
Let me check. - Who has come at this time?
Get up. - Don't do that
Isn't this Krishnan's house?
Krishnan is there?
He is there inside. - Call him
Oh... It is you, sir?
What is it, sir?
CI wants to see you
He wants to know something
What is it?
That only he knows
You will come only after knowing that?
No. Ijust wanted to know
Nothing serious
CI wants to ask you something
I am yet to take bath
That is okay
You come there. When will you come?
I will come at 10.30 at 11
Be at sharp 11
lwill tell sir
O Kay
What?
I don't know what it is
It's a shameful affair
Politics and molestation
doesn't go together
There was some respect for social work
If you are not ready for a compromise
As your leader said earlier
Let law take its course. What do you say?
If you say based on what she says...
Such language should be limited to your party office
In molestation cases the victim's statement is the key for police
Okay then. We will see.
After being in the party for so long, if you say molestation now... those who hear it have to believe
They were cheating me by saying lies for so many years
Those who came even yesterday have positions
lam left out
So that is the reason
I will file FIR and register the case
But if you come saying you believe party investigation more than Indian judiciary, you will know who I am
Gothen. - Okay sir
Sirfifl this is Krishnan
You have a big moustache
Bring two cups of tea
Now I will come to the matter
Two were caught during night patrol
When they were questioned...
They were back from a mission
They had robbed enough to feed themselves for the rest of their lives
They could have been left as normal robbers
My wife and children's luck...
It is a chance to win a medal that they brought
Why are you saying all this to me?
We policemen...
would give our heart out
if we get the correct answers to our questions
Or else rip the heart out
So I was saying
In one oftheir stories...
your name was there too
Sirfifl Me...
You don't have to be scared
When they said so I thought of asking you
They are robbers
It is for the police to enquire if it is right or wrong... right?
This story happened twenty years back
You try to remember after drinking this
I don't want sir... - That is okay
What we were saying was... robbery... you remember now?
You don't remember? - No
Then lwill explain
Twenty years back
From Thuthiyoor Federal Bank
a medium level businessman named Rajeevan, who came out after withdrawing money
Aged around 45
Charlie
Raju
Krishnan
The trio
After beating up Rajeev
They flee with that 4 Iakhs... 4 Iakhs then would be around 40 Iakhs now
Now you remember'?
See... now he remembers everything
This is the merit of policemen
If you ask the way it needs to be everything will come to mind
Now tell me
It was not deliberate, sir
They got me into atrap
That they said...
They called you
But there are some tricky rules in our law
Have you heard about IPC 34?
Those who got involved in a crime by any means is also a convict
So you are also a convict
Sir... Me...
You have anyone to call?
Anyway you will be remanded - Don't ruin me, sir
This case was lying there without any clues for 20 years
Now we have found the evidences... and found proved it
Only then will people identify us as well
Save me sir
Sentiments have no value now
Sukumaran... take him to the cell
Sir... please save me
It just happened sir
If you enquire, you will know I never make any trouble
My daughter and my wifefifl they have no one else
You know me, sir
You give me your phone
Sir please explain to him
You can go out in two days
Two days? Don't say like that sir
We were helpless
You cheated me, right?
All these years I stayed away from you
As I was scared if I will be caught someday
We tried not to tell your name
They thrashed us so hard
We had decided to stop everything
We went for the last game before ending everything
It ended this way
Everything is gone
Becuase of usfifl even you...
You guys knew everything
My Sreekutty
My Sreeja
They have only me
Why did you do this to me?
His sorry...
After ruining my life...
Sirfifl save us...
What is happening there?
Leave him... Move aside
Take your tricks at home
You are not coming inside? - No
Krishna... here is you Aadhar card and mobile
Sreeja was so upset when I came to collect this yesterday
You call me if anything is needed
You keep quiet
Come here. - Don't touch her
Sreeja. - Don't call me so hereafter
Believe me
I swear on Sreekutty... It was not done intentionally
Fora sin that happened so long ago... - Why did you tell me this until now?
What all would you have hidden from me like this?
You are a cheat
If you loved me a bit
I left my parents and family to be with you
And to me...
You knowfifl Me and my daughter have not gone out for the past two days
Who am I now? A robbefs wife
Enough
Our relationship ends here
I waited until now to say this on yourface
Come here
Sreeja, listen to me. - Don't touch me
Leave me, Mom. My hand aches
Mom, leave me. Dad...
Don't worry
Sreekutty, come here. - I won't
Come here. - Leave the kid
I told you to spare the kid
You can go if you want
I won't leave my daughter
Sreekuttyfifl come with Mom
Nofifl I won't come, leaving my dad
Then think your mom is dead
Your fate is to live as a robbefs daughter
(Three convicted for two and a half years for robbery)
(Nine months later)
(Central Jail, Viyyoor)
Sign here
It seems you have big connections with the Bishop's house
See how times have changed
Bishop is there for robbers to recommend for parole
I would get it without any recommendation in this stage, sir
Enough
Report back on Monday morning before 10
Understood? - Okay, sir
Do you any other plans?
Go now
Please come. Mother did tell you will come today
My daughter...
Nothing to worry
Mother will explain everything
Please come
Come inside, Krishna...
Things are going out of our hands
We did all that we could
There is nothing that God Almighty can't do
Let's Pray
I have only my daughterto call myself
Why is God testing us like this?
Don't be sad, Krishna
There will be a solution for everything
Dr. Sheela is treating your daughter
Sheela grew up in this convent
She is Kerala's best cardiac surgeon now
She takes care of Sreekutty like her own daughter
So you don't have to worry about your daughter
All our prayers are also there
Thank you Mother
Thank God. He will do miracles
lwill tell Sheela
You go to the hospital
O Kay
Mother
The complaint is in the second valve
Doctorfifl my kid
Sreekutty was admitted at the right time
If two days had gone things would have been out of control
I have no one else to call as my own
lam living for her
My daughter had to stay in the orphanage though all are there for her
She has suffered for me so much at this young age
Finally now
This is not the time to cry, Krishnan
We don't have much time to save her
Maximum is 48 hours
I had told Mother
If we had more time we could have collected some funds by publishing the news in the media
Now there is no time for that
Even othewvise that is not required doctor
For media to create news to celebrate
My daughter's life too...
That is not needed
The operation will cost 18 Iakhs
How can you manage in this stage?
I am indebted to the orphanage and to the Mother superior
As per Mothefs request if I talk to the hospital management, 8 Iakhs can be waived
But even then 10 Iakhs is required
The son ofthe patient in CCU has come to see you, doctor
Ask him to come. - Okay doctor
Did you see your daughter, Krishnan?
No
lwill call ICU. You go there
God is great, Krishnan. Let us pray
Who? - I am Krishnan
Sreekutty's dad. The doctor told me... - Come inside
Keep the sandals outside
Daughter
Don't call her. She is under sedation
It will take one to two hours
Mother had told us. When did you come?
A little while ago
I met the doctor. And my daughter too.
How would I thank you for the love that you are showing
Don't be sad
God will take care. She is such a good kid
Krishna, don't feel bad
At this juncture, Sreekutty needs her mothefs love and care
You are staying apart. Yet to be separated.
Have this
There is only one coat. So I am taking care of it like my kid
It is without sugar
Sugar is over
In the morning lwill go to the court with the coat. By noon lwill be back doing nothing much.
To give the rent there is mothefs pension
Mother... save me!
I was praying for my mothefs good health
As I am unmarried there are no expenses
It's not that I don't know your situation
But... there is no one else to help me in this state
I don't ask for any money
You know all I have is that house and the ten cents
Then bring the document. Any money lender will give you 10 Iakhs
It has been pledged in the bank
It was taken to start the workshop
You can try to take the document from the bank...
Can't you help me?
What are you saying?
If it was a co-operative bank we could have tried
Nationalised banks have no human emotions or sympathy
It is for corporates to loot
Even if they agree there are so much procedures
When will you get money after all this?
You want it today or tomorrow, right?
Who is there with the kid at the hospital?
The sisters from the orphanage
Haven't you informed Sreeja?
No
You have to. A nun won't replace own mother
There should be someone to take care of the kid to look after you go post parole period
There is one way
This is the only way
To end your marital issues and forthe operation to happen
A single option
What do you mean?
You go and see Sreeja
There is no mother who won't be convinced if her daughter is in this state
Then about the money
Yourfather in law who lends money for hefty interest will have the amount
It is not possible for anyone else to make 10 lakhs so easily at this time
It can bethe willingness to help afriend or a Iawyefs other than normal way to solve this
But... this is the only way
You go... it is forthe child, isn't it?
Keep the flower there... overthere
In which language will I talk to these guys?
Jayetta... here is tea for you
Guys... you want tea?
Clean there
Where are you up to?
It's to you. Stop there
I want to see Sreeja
Which Sreeja?
Who is she for you?
Did you hear?
You shouldn't enter here. Get out now
What is your plan?
I want to see my wife
His wife!
To you who ruined her life
I should bring her back to you? Get out now
I don't have anything to tell you
Then to whom do you want to talk to in this house?
Stop staring and call the police
Who knows he came after a jail break?
Go away
You stand there. - As if she will come if you call her
I came to see you
You keep waiting. She is our daughter
I came out on parole
You should show the mind to listen what I say
No
I am in this stage as I listened to you
Not anymore
Sreeja, please... - I don't want to hear anything
I have nothing to tell you as well
Now my parents are there to take care of me
That is enough
That is all I want
Our daughter is in the hospital
She needs an operation
He has come with a new lie
Liar
It's not a lie, Sreeja
Her operation requires 10 Iakhs
You know how to make money
Robbery. Go and rob
I am trying to make a new life for my daughter
You should not be seen here again
What are you waiting for'? Throw him out
How fast lives change for some
He had gone with some friendsjust like that
Became a thief
a robber
eventually wife, family and life itself is ruined
Now to save daughtefs life risked his own life
In the same ICU with his daughter
What a tragedy his life is
I had called you saying I can't come in the evening
Then he was right in front of me
No
One of my patients is a bit serious here
A surgery is needed
So I can't stay away
Have you bought all the medicines that I prescribed?
I have packed all those medicines separately
Packing is not enough. You should have it too.
Iwill have them for sure
You should pray for us all
Krishna... the child's situation is really bad
I called you urgently to inform this
If the surgery is not done tonight or tomorrow morning...
There is no use in crying or becoming sad
You should knowthe reality
If surgery is not done before 11 am tomorrow
as a doctor
I am helpless
fix the operation, doctor
lfl am alive
I will remitthe money before 10 am tomorrow
Where is the ICU?
This wayfifl first floor
I didn't think police will come this fast
I was about to call you, Appu
How did you know?
Mother called me
This is Krishnan's friend, Appu
How is he now? - Can't say anything now. I will be back
It would have been around 12.30. Still was unconscious
How is his situation?
The injury is pretty complicated
It happened when he fell down and hit his head
There is an injury in the forehead as well
Could have happened on hitting the door
He should have become unconscious with the fall
Will he go into a coma?
Can't say. It will take some hours to say that
What about the owners ofthe house where he went to rob?
He is there outside. He was about to go for Haj tomorrow
It was then
That you may call me and inform
This is Muhammed. It was in his house...
Tell me Mr. Muhammed. What happened there?
I had a dream and got up from sleep
It was raining heavily
The power was gone
The inverter at home was faulty
The torch is kept below at the dining room, above the fridge
When I went out ofthe room to get the torch...
The door of another bedroom was open
I got inside and checked
Suddenly the door of the bedroom closed
When I opened the door there was someone
I got scared and closed the door
When I didn't hear anything aftera while...
I came down
and lighted the torch
I saw a person lying there in a pool of blood
Was he lying facing up or down? - Facing up
Who are you?
My son in law. Daughter's husband
I will ask. You need to say only then
What you said is right
When the door closed, he lost control and fell upside down
The robber lying inside is not very experienced
When are you going for Haj?
The flight is at noon 1.30
Don't cancel your trip
You manhandled the robberwho broke inside
Self protection. Even if he dies the case against you will not stand
It is private defence
You go for Haj without fear
Doctor, we can go home after completing the formalities
Come
I have to tell you something
It is personal
Don't say 'no' - You say it doctor
Don't registerthe case immediately
That's all? Why?
Krishnan's daughter is there in the ICU
She has surgery tomorrow
He did this to make money for the surgery
Let him become conscious
Until then please extend the case
Maximum 2 or3 hours
But will this Muhammed agree? - I will make him agree
Then it is okay
One more thing, sir
I could have hidden this
But that is not right
Krishnan is a convict out on parole
What are you saying, doctor?
You should have said this earlier
You know what is the charge if a convict out on parole does a crime?
He won't see the world outside
If he die tomorrow, I will lose my job
It is such a mess
Sir, only three hoursfifl please
But one thing. Whatever happens in between, I will register the FIR
Still you went a bit too far, doctor
Lost my peacefifl and sleep too
It's really late
You may please go home
We will take care of the things here
Why do you lose your sleep like this?
You have to travel
What are you thinking about?
Didn't you hear what the SI said?
That I did for self protection. Even if he dies, I won't be in trouble, right?
Who are we trying to cheat?
The Lord?
You come here, son
Have you seen Krishnan's daughter who is in the ICU?
She is only of our Ummukulsu's age
Ifthe operation scheduled for tomorrow morning doesn't happen
Then that kid will not be there in this world
You think about the plight of a father who is out to rob to save his daughtefs life
If it happened to any of us?
What do you mean?
If someone comes to our home for any help during Ramadan what will we do?
We will do what we can...
Is it like giving zakat? It is too much money
When did the money come?
There was a time when I had no money or anything
When we wanted to have enough meal at least once in a day
The day when I passed from seven to eighth class
The day when I passed in the school exam
Ifailed in my life
When I ran home to tell that I passed
I saw my dad who was struggling to breathe
My mom who was crying and rubbing his chest
And two sisters who were 8 and 5... not knowing what to do
Before he died, dad didn't tell me anything
But before taking the last drop of water...
he held my hand
Dad looked at me and my sisters
Until someone closed his eyes forever
He was looking at me
That day what he tried to say...
Is still there in my mind
There was a three cell torch that he used to carry while going to checkthe shrimp farm
That was the only wealth
At the age of twelve I went out with that torch
The whole night I would work at the shrimp farm
After coming back, I will go straight to school
I have the mark which I got for sleeping in the class
The teacher didn't know it
Notjust the teacher. I haven't let anyone know about the misery and poverty
Until Istopped schooling in class VIII
I started from there, son
From a big zero
I have reached here after sheertoil and hard work
I have received zakat from many with both these hands
The wealth that we have now is not what I made... It was given by God
A man can't make money even if he try... God should give it
God decides who or what we become
That calculation will never go wrong
Or else why should this Krishnan come to our house in the nightwhen I go for Haj?
Why should we know about the problems of a person aboutwhom we don't know until then?
That is God's decision
You know what is the greatest deed in the life ofa real Muslim?
Zakat
The Holy Quran says a person should give one portion oftheir assets as zakat
When I wrote assets in the names of children and in laws, I forgot that
This reminded me
Now let me tell you my decision?
We will take care of Krishnan's daughter's operation
Until this momentthis was a bad night for me
But now
Like the 27th night of the Ramadan month
This is the blessed
Laylat al-Qadr
The Blessed Night
This is not my zakat
This is God's zakat
There is no bigger Haj than this
The night when angels descend on earth
The nightwhen the blessing moonlight showers
The blessed night of Laylat al-Qadr
God, the life, the earth and the wealth are your zakat
All are equal and there is no difference between the big and the small
When the book of life is counted by God there is nothing greater than the good deeds done to others
There is no greater sacrifice than giving help to those who are in pain
Ifthere is no love in your heart will there by Ramadan moonlight
Is there more greater happiness than sacrifice?
God, you have written the story of life with the pen of times
Is there any judgment without yourwill?
The difficulties in life could be the test for me
Your prayers have been answered
Sreekutty's operation is successful
Now she is in recovering room. There is nothing to be worried about. She is okay
There is another happy news
Krishnan is conscious
Krishnan wants to see you
You know who this is?
This is Muhammed
You lie down
I am sorry
Please forgive me
If we can't forgive why are we humans?
I have heard God is there
I hadn't seen God. Now I have seen and touched.
Don't say like that
We all are the children of that God
It is not like what wethink
Things will happen as per God's will
Dad, we are here. - Come inside
There are no issues that can't be solved orforgiven, Krishnan
After keeping aside all the anger, someone has come to see you
Come
The fight between a husband and wife shouldn't go beyond a night
When you two stayed away
a tender heart got affected
Even after having dad and mom... Have you two thought about her becoming alone?
Letthis be a good beginning
Let God protect the two of you
This is Cheruvillil Moideen Kunju Sahib
from Karunagappally Taluk of Kollam district
In a village named Klappana
shone like sunlight
Moideen Kunju Sahib, who died in 1986,
is the real life inspiration for the character of Muham med
Krishnan in the story was a youth in his neighbourhood
Considering their privacy, we are not revealing more details
Thank You
