[The name 'Sundar' is repeated]
Where are you? Can't you answer the call?
I'm coming.
I'm outside.
Give me 5 minutes.
Just make it fast.
Why do you keep calling?
Come out.
Cut the call.
Hasn't Balu come?
He's outside.
What the...
Look where you are going, you..
Damn.
We are lucky.
We are early today.
Where?
We are late today too.
Because of your early morning routine. Just keep walking.
We are late because of you.
Yes Rohith.
Sundar, it's urgent.
Priya mam wants to see you.
Right now.
Okay.
We'll use a V.O. to cover it up.
- Mam, for the entire series? - Yes.
But mam..
Mam, that is too much to do in such a short time.
And I was working on that content that you wanted to develop.
Leave that. Focus on this.
- We need this urgently right now. - Mam but..
Sundar..
It's no 'Nothing Job' for you.
You can do it. Come on.
Nothing mam. I will do it.
Yeah.
I also wanted to ask you about shoot.
He's here.
Will any of this work out?
Let's see.
Hey Sundar!
Hello.
- Thanks da. - Sit.
Anyway, you are here.
Hey! What's the programme?
The usual office work. What else?
Yeah right!
He's behind some mega project.
Is it?
No, he's just bluffing.
I just want to do something original.
That's it.
I think you should leave this petty job and write something for yourself.
But.
There are many problems involved.
I just can't leave like that.
Hey! Sherin!
Hi.
Hey, come. Sit.
Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hi Chithra.
Sorry.
- Oh Dammit! - Ruined it.
Sherin, I'm so sorry.
- Chitra - Scoundrel.
Hey Sherin. Let me explain.
Chitra
Thanks.
What a tragedy you are.
Yeah right!
What tragedy? Some spilled coffee?
You should have seen your face since the moment she arrived.
Why?
It was great.
Like a cow with diarrhea.
Yeah right.
Did you get electrified or something, when she touched you?
I don't know bro.
It's like. When a girl comes close to me.
Girl?
When they touch me..
- I get excited. - Excitement?
All this isn't meant for you.
If there's something wrong with you, go to a doctor.
Get lost.
- It's common for first timers. - First time?
Do you even know how to talk to a woman?
Do you know the struggle it took to get her here?
What struggle?
I didn't understand.
I put your writings in a fake blog in your name, saying that you are this big writer.
I made her read it. She came here impressed by that.
She was just out of a break-up.
Yeah right. Blame this all on me now.
You did everything and now I am to blame.
Yeah, it's all my fault.
You have issues.
You are this way because you never grew among a mother and sisters.
I'm sorry.
It just came out in that flow.
Forgive me, please.
You're right.
What you said might be right.
-Maybe that's why.. - Sentiments!
There is a slight difficulty in communicating with girls.
Not slight.
It's really difficult.
It's okay.
We can fix everything my Bahubali.
Come..
I'm telling you.
Maybe your problems are because of hunger.
Come, let's have egg puffs.
Kanna!
Were you sleeping?
I was listening to music.
We need to got to Panangad this month.
My brother called. He say's its completely messed up by the rains.
It has been an year anyway.
We could talk about this tomorrow?
You always ignore when I'm saying something important.
It's not that grandma.
I've a lot of work to do.
Won't get a day off from office.
And yet you went to a marriage last month.
How did you get your day off then?
It was someone from the office.
We all went together.
You always have time for others.
Except when it comes to me, you have no time.
Now onwards I won't ask you anything.
I'll go by myself.
Grandma!
Is it over?
It's not some pappad to fry it out quick.
Make it fast. Everybody is ready. We're waiting for the shot.
No Rohith.
My mind is blank.
Nothing is coming to me.
Means what?
I'm not able to..
Stop kidding dude.
Give me the scene fast.
I haven't written it.
Give it.
What am I supposed to do with this now?
Everybody's waiting. Write something man.
I don't know.
I don't know Rohith.
- I'm unable to write anything. - Okay.
Try again. We'll wait for some more time. Write
I can't.
You know what.
If the shoot gets canceled. You get screwed for it.
Whatever.
Get lost.
Sundar!
Someone hold that thermo.
Rohith.
Rohi.
Tell her to move aside.
Dialogue.
Dear, please move aside.
He needs. He'll be back.
And I'm supposerd to wait while he's in the washroom.
I've been waiting for a half hour.
How long is he going to take.
I'm calling mam.
What is the problem?
That old lady is jumping around in frustration.
I don't know.
I'm not able to write anything.
Quite the pressure.
What?
You couldn't do your ... last night and in the morning?
Let me say something.
This is not your real problem.
Root of the cause of the issue. You have to address.
What?
Unrequested love.
Meaning?
Yesterday I..
Read an article on FB.
Unrequested love.
The love you never had.
Not unrequested.
Unrequited.
You understood right?
That Priya scolded you.
You have to get your manliness back.
You didn't get it?
Where is the unrequited love in this?
Gauri.
You were always in love with Gauri.
But you were afraid to say.
Hesitated.
Am I in love with Gauri.
Yes you are in love with Gauri.
Gauri
You just listen to me.
You propose to her.
You have to do it today, my Bahubali.
Utmost you lose a word and If you gain, you get a babe.
Don't get low.
Sorry, I just said it in the flow.
But I'm very serious.
You have to go propose to her.
Come, let's open you a new account.
Just come.
Where are you..
- Let's do it. - No need.
Chitra!
Hi swati.
I have to go.
Hi Gauri.
Hi.
Good morning Gauri.
Good afternoon Sundar.
What happened?
If there is anything, make it fast.
I have to finish a PPT.
It's nothing. I just wanted to talk to you.
Okay.
That...
Do you feel safe at night?
I mean..
Withe everything happening these days.
These shocking news.
When you hear this..
I'm not able to sleep.
I just lie there crying.
I'm sensitive.
You see.
I want to kill these bastards.
These bloody men, rapists.
We should cut off their things.
Or we should hang them.
If we kill all the rapists.
Will the raping stop?
Will that help?
But..
So for you this rape.. I mean..
Don't want to hang them?
No.
I don't believe in that.
The whole system has to change.
I got it bro. Morgan Freeman.
That's the name.
Sorry.
Hey Sundar.
What do you want?
Public toilets.
Public transport. It's out of my hands.
What do you actually want to say to me?
NOOOOOOOO...
Say.
I want you.
Is it a crime to want to sleep with you.
I appreciate that you said this to me directly.
But even this line of yours isn't original.
It's from a movie called 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya'
Is it?
Yes.
So?
These aren't things to ask.
It's to be understood.
So..
When the heroine in the movie hears this question..
She walks away.
Just go.
It's okay.
What happened? Where are you?
Come to my house.
What happened?
Just come.
Nothing is working for me.
What do you mean?
Where is your grandma? Down or upstairs?
This room or that one?
Your grandmother doesn't look old at all.
Is it Santoor?
- Get in. - I always wanted to ask you.
You see that paper.
I wasn't able to write anything.
My imagination isn't working.
Bro.
All these are psychological problems.
That's why you can't write too.
Meaning?
Bro, this is temporary.
You don't worry. I'm here.
I haven't even touched a girl till date.
How can everything go before that?
By the way..
Why did you skip office when the shoot got canceled?
Priya is furious.
Forget her.
You don't worry.
It'll be alright by tomorrow.
Okay?
God bless you.
Moringa and Cowrie
Is best for this.
Sit down Sundar.
Please sit.
Sundar.
You can't just screw up like this.
I'm sorry.
Listen.
I know you're competent.
But if this is how you choose to go about it.
There's very little future for you.
Mam, I tried.
No excuses Sundar.
You know we can't compromise on work.
And you can't just runaway like this.
I'm sorry.
You have to stand up.
It's not working.
My mojo..
Your mojo?
I mean..
My writers block.
Whatever.
We go on floors again next week.
You better get it sorted by then.
Okay mam.
Clear?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll catch you later.
Okay.
Shall we go?
Where to?
You said you wanted to go to your home town
You got your leave?
Yes.
What is it?
Hey! Why did you leave without saying anything?
I had mailed it.
You could have atleast told her before you left.
Yeah right, why? At most she will fire me.
What else can she do?
She would have never left me if I had asked directly.
And if she ever asks you..
Just tell her my number is not reachable.
Okay.
Call me on my BSNL number, if you need anything.
Okay?
Hey, when will you get back?
No idea bro.
By the way, what about the other problem?
Hello.
Hello. Did he hang up?
From here.
You reached?
Thank God.
Namaste
- Are you fine? - Yes.
Was the journey comfortable?
Yes it was.
You little rascal.
Kanna.
Do you remember me?
Dear!
Yes.
- Dear! - Coming dad.
Kanna!
Is this the only bag?
Is it vacation now?
- I'll take the other bag - It has been a week.
See..
Deva.
Where is the Mulgoba that was here?
The banana tree.
Thambi took it.
Come here. Just come.
On who's permission?
Get in.
You could have atleast called me.
I couldn't say no when he asked.
Keep this inside.
Son, come.
If this goes on.
This house won't be here after a while.
It would become a pond. Right Deva?
What else did he take?
Nothing else.
I had locked the house.
Parvathy comes to clean it up once in a while.
- Dear. - Yes.
He looks just like Kumaran right now.
Just that he's a bit more fair.
Dear, they must be starving. Get them lunch.
Where are the guests?
Reached?
Atleast you thought of coming here now.
Sit.
You have become huge.
Sit.
You didn't recognize me?
Then tell. Who am I?
I'm not recalling.
Who is this?
Stop.
Why are you mocking me Uncle Thangu.
See.
He's Kumaran's son.
Was the journey comfortable?
Yes, it was.
There wasn’t any trouble getting here?
No, there wasn't.
Why are you still standing there?
Come sit.
Did you eat anything?
Did you eat anything on the way?
No, we started off at morning.
You should have said something.
What do we do now?
There might be nothing here.
I will send someone.
We have everything here, right?
Parvathy has already arranged it.
Okay. That's enough.
Since you are here.
We need to decide on certain things.
Now when can we meet like this.
We don't need to postpone it for any reason.
You can't catch me.
Stop there Suppandi.
Don't make me run.
You might have no use of it.
But we have other needs.
Might be this property is in your name.
I agree. But I need what I deserve.
The property is great and all but what's the use.
Is there any use of it, if it's abandoned here for some cats and dogs to live in?
Thambi.
They just reached here.
There is time for all this.
Deva. Shut up.
This is our family matter.
Right!
So we need to dispose this as soon as possible.
Dispose?
It's not just my decision.
I have to think about other things too.
It's not that easy.
We must sell.
I need my money.
I have other things to do.
You might not need it but I do.
It's not just my property.
It's also Sundar's decision. He has to be her to take a decision.
How can you say that. I need my money.
You have to give it.
- As soon as possible. - Uncle.
I'll conduct the festival.
What?
Festival?
Would this issue be solved if I pay you the money?
Will it be solved?
Enough.
Your word is enough. Come son.
You guys eat something.
Let them eat something. They just got here.
Like a storm passed.
What to say?
God!
You hurried up here to see these relatives?
You might not know.
It was a good decision not to demolish the house.
I don't think I can ever leave this place.
Nothing like that.
Kumaran would have done the same.
When did you see dad last?
After you left here.
He had come here once, that too alone.
He never came in.
And I didn't force upon him.
Devan
Why did my father leave me?
Didn't he like me?
Son!
I just asked.
You can sleep here.
Thanks.
I saw Devan earlier.
He seems to be worried.
He is only scared of the fact that he has a daughter old enough to be married.
What do you do now?
Finished B. Tech and MBA. I'll have to find a job now.
Nothing else.
Oh nice.
Do you like it?
You mean engineering or MBA?
Yeah both.
It's okay.
I just need to escape from here.
So you don't like it here?
Who does?
It's suffocating.
So your aim is to get to the metro?
I want to move out of the country.
What do you think?
It's your life.
You do what feels right for you.
What's your plan?
I don't have any specific plans.
Okay then, you sleep.
Okay.
Where are you taking that?
To put it back where we found it.
Let it be.
Okay.
Hey!
Is there a VCR player here?
Like the old ones?
I have seen one here somewhere.
I'm not sure if it will work.
Let me see.
Okay.
You got it?
Yes.
Should I help?
No, it's okay. I'll manage.
Okay then. Good night.
Okay.
I want to learn karate.
You can't learn karate like that.
Karate teaches you.
My madam will teach you.
Madam?
You are just a kid.
How will you learn karate.
I have certain skills.
Great.
I was searching for my student all these years.
You are the one.
Come.
Let's start.
Sure.
This too.
Are you ready?
Get a job soon.
And visit us someday.
Sure.
Either way this time there is a peace of mind.
Thangu's problem was solved.
A big headache is over.
Now don't worry about this when you get there.
No.
When will you be back again?
We will. Soon.
Okay then Devan uncle.
Okay then.
Come dear.
Shall I get you your food.
We can come again grandma.
We didn't even stay there for 2 days.
Don't get sentimental
This item isn't available now.
It's very hard to get the spare parts for these.
Here.
One minute.
This is my card. Call me if you need anything.
Sure.
No need of cash.
No, it's okay.
Yeah! Say.
It isn't available anywhere.
Have you tried online?
That's a good idea.
Let me see.
Okay, bye.
Hi.
- Hello. - Hi.
Haven't seen you for 2 days.
Actually, I was on leave.
You don't need any help, right?
No, it's okay.
I thought you need some help
Actually, I was on leave.
Ohh, Carry on
No, it's okay.
See you later
Okay.
So
Okay.
See you later.
Okay.
Hello.
What is it grandma?
There's a parcel for you.
There's a parcel here for you.
Is it?
Okay.
Hello.
Don't be afraid.
I'm here to help.
May I come in?
Hey! Hello.
But you have written something?
Yeah! Actually this is not what you asked for?
But I think..
This will be better.
Okay
I'll take a look.
Oh! Sundar.
I'm taking a break. Haven't had anything to eat yet.
Even I'm starving. What if we go together?
Then come.
Oh no!
I forgot to take my purse.
I'll just get it and join you.
Don't worry, I'll pay for it.
No.
Okay. I'll wait downstairs.
Okay.
I'm Nancy.
A queen skilled in every art form.
Why are you wasting your time in this castle?
It's full moon today.
Come, let's wander in the gardens.
Come dear.
Hey!
Who are you?
How did you get into this room?
You know me.
I'm Nancy.
But how? I just saw you on T.V.
Yes, but you wished I was here. So I'm here. Simple.
Then why did you disappear yesterday?
I'll appear when you wish me to.
Like a Gandharva?
Like an Apsara.
I don't know. Maybe.
Are you for real?
What do you think?
I'm Nancy.
A queen skilled in every art form.
Nancy.
It seems like an awkward name to have.
Does anyone name themselves Queen Nancy?
My creator.
Who is that?
Umar.
Why are you wasting your time in this castle dear?
Today is full moon.
Let's wander in the gardens.
The cuckoos might be mating there.
In this night?
To wander in the gardens?
I have other things to do.
You go wander.
Good night.
What is it? What happened?
Nothing.
Are you fine?
It's nothing.
Do you want tea?
Do you know any of dad's friends?
I don't remember anyone.
Why all of a sudden? What happened?
Nothing.
Are you sure it's dad?
I saw him in others too.
He must have come to be an actor but this cinema people might have used him.
Something like that happened.
Maybe.
See.
You go talk to her.
- Go. - No need.
- Nancy will come. - Nancy?
Here?
If I get any mood she will appear anywhere.
Are you mad? You are a goner.
You'll have to meet someone. What is it's a ghost?
No need to get rid of her.
She isn't harmful.
So you are enjoying this.
Listen.
You know any Malayalam historians? Cinema historians?
You mean Malayalam film historian?
Not strong. Medium.
She might come over if we keep sitting here.
Where are you going?
It's really hot.
Thank you.
Put it in fast.
You put it?
Good morning.
- What's your name? - Isn't there a doctor here?
I am the doctor. I'm everything here.
I am the cure to your every disease.
Oh, my name is Govindan.
I have chest pain.
Let me see.
It's classy.
Take a breath.
Did you see her hold that stethoscope?
My god!
There's heavy heart beat.
Yes madam. It got heavier when I got here.
Breathe out strongly.
Did she come?
How long since the pain started?
It first started when I was 12-13 years.
Then it kept coming once or twice a day.
Do you have any pain elsewhere?
Maybe it's because of the light
Is there any medicine for that?
Hmm. Let's see.
Play it.
Turn around.
Do you visit hospitals from time to time?
Simple.
No.
Not till date. Maybe now onwards..
I will make it a routine..
It's paused. What happened?
It was an interesting scene and now that's gone too.
See this.
Isn't these two the same place?
Yeah.
Yes it is.
That's what I said. This is my parents house.
Your father is cool.
An old 'Pulimurugan'
Play it please. Leave the suspense.
I'll come.
Do you sweat when you sleep at night?
Yes, buckets full.
- Nancy! - Now we can have the medicine.
Nice pazham pori
Like cotton.
Rameshetta.
Sundar?
Hi,
- Hi. - Sit down.
Do you need something to eat?
I was going to ask that to you.
Bro, 2 pazham pori.
Here too.
- Where do you work? - In a bank.
Have you seen all of Umar's film?
Yes, I have.
[ Names of Umar's films ]
I have seen all of them
Superb. He seems to be a hardcore fan.
Haven't you seen any of it?
Only some.
Nancy..
Woah! Nancy is cult.
No one can think up a film like that.
It's that kind of film.
It was that actresses debut.
Has it been long since you started this group? and all?
I have been behind this as far as I remember.
Is it.
How do we get details on them?
Maybe Aashan knows.
Who is this Aashan?
You don't know him?
No.
He's a huge pundit.
Doesn't he speak?
Dakshina (Gift)
Just give him 10 rupees.
1000.
1000?
God..
Give
Give.
God!
1000.
Come.
I stay here alone.
So I do the cooking.
What did you say your name was?
Sundar.
Balu.
Show me your hand.
- What? - Hand.
Here.
Prepare that fish.
If I keep talking to you
What about our lunch, right?
Ofcourse.
Okay then.
You come.
Aashan I...
Make it properly.
Dead fish.
This Nancy was from Kottayam.
Umar brought her into cinema.
Who is this Umar?
He's from Thodupuzha.
His house is somewhere in Panangad.
Where was it?
Maliyampurath
Not there.
Muzhangi.
His house name was something like that.
Umar was a screen name right?
Yes.
His real name was Kumar.
But he changed it when he got into cinema.
He made it Umar K.
Umar K.
Why do you want to know all this?
For a documentary.
Comparing to the movies back then he was something.
But since the stories are like this.
It all turned out as B-grade movies.
You new gen kids won't understand.
Cinema has changed a lot now. Right?
Yes, it has changed a lot.
Is there any way to know about Nancy.
Will see.
Aashan it's hot.
Slowly.
Great.
If you want to know anything else, just ask.
I'll help.
I used to be a production controller.
Aashan.
Heard that we can check out our horoscope in mobile.
No need of sea shells like before.
Do you guys have any idea?
It's very easy. There is a website and app and all.
How does it work?
Dakshina?
Will teach you if you give me Dakshina.
Back to us.
Okay then.
See you then.
Did you hear what they asked us?
Dakshina from us.
You had no idea about it?
No
Grandma must be knowing, right?
Who knows, she has never told me.
Try asking.
I don't think I can ask about this.
I have never asked you this.
I thought you would be uncomfortable.
What happened to your dad? How did he die?
Don't know.
Means?
I have no childhood memories.
My mom died when I was 4-5 years old.
Then my dad left me.
I know all this from Grandma.
If I ask anymore she would make me sing Bhajans.
Oh, Bhajan.
I mean original bhajan.
And I stopped asking after a while.
What's the use of asking about people who don't exist.
So there's no possibility that he's alive?
Don't know.
You are really dark.
Thanks.
Sundar, your dad might be alive.
Maybe.
Don't you have any feelings for him?
What's the use of me having feelings?
He left me when I was a child.
Maybe he's alive, I'm not angry at him anymore.
So you left it?
I'll definitely go searching for him.
I need to meet him if he's alive.
See, I told you. You still have feelings.
If you like it or not.
If you have seen or not.
If he has loved you or not.
Your father will always be your first hero.
Everything is a measurement towards that.
If not will we have any interest in measuring the people we meet later in life.
No.
I want to see him.
Only if he's alive.
Not to claim that I'm his son.
That's it.
Kanna! Kannna aren't you leaving?
It's not a copy and you direct it yourself. It will be a super hit.
Hello.
Thank you.
I'm taking this.
You want chapathi?
Take.
Nothing for me?
You are fine, right?
Great.
I'm fine.
What's the real programme?
You guys are upto something for the past few days.
That's a long story.
It's nothing.
We are developing a new project. That's why.
Okay. That's nice.
Ask me if you need any help.
We'll tell her right?
Sure.
Okay.
Control.
What happened?
I bit a chili.
Do you only know to look at women like this?
Best.
Look who's talking.
The actress fro B-Grade movies.
Till there is demand there will be supply also.
What demand?
What did you say?
I was just talking to myself.
Did you see her looking at you?
She likes you.
Did you see the way she looked?
You see that saree.
It was the same saree she wore while you proposed her.
If you call her, she will be at your house by night.
If you put your heart to it. She will be in your room.
He's the reason why you don't get anywhere.
Just because a girl is nice to you doesn't mean she wants to sleep with you
You good for nothing.
She came to us, sat here and talked to us because..
was to make us comfortable.
Because she see us as friends.
Calm down.
Where are you looking to?
It was our mistake.
Still she came to us.
Because we are all colleagues.
That is the difference between man and woman.
When a girl smiles at you..
It doesn't mean she loves us.
She's a good girl.
She expects the same respect she showed us.
You are the one who is giving mallu boys a bad name.
Thank you.
Sorry.
What happened?
I can't do this anymore.
Let's complete this shoot first.
We can talk later.
I can't do this anymore.
Leave me.
I can't do this anymore.
Hello.
Why did you come now?
I thought you came..
- only when I'm excited. - Only when.
What is it?
I thought you needed help.
Help?
What happened?
Why were you that angry?
I don't know.
You don't know.
You said you would help.
I'm trying to.
Is this the help?
Go over what you have heard and saw till now, one more time.
and investigate it your self.
How?

It's about an old..
B-grade filmmaker.

An ordinary man turning into a cult director.
Sounds interesting.
The premise.
Different.
I like it.
Why don't you submit a proposal and we'll look into it.
- Okay. - Okay.

Thank God, no one else saw.
Why did you hit that guy?
Then what, who is he to lay his hands on you?
Now can we go back there?
To her house?
Anyway we found her. We'll see.
We'll see, if she will ever let us near or not?
We'll see.
I will leave early tonight.
She loves me.

Just run. I'll come with the bike.
- Okay then. - Go.
But the keys are with me.
- Then I'll come walking. - No need.
Hi Anita.
Don't misunderstand me. Don't create a scene.
I'm not that kind of person. I just wanted to make you understand that.
What do you want?
That's a long story.
Can we sit somewhere. I can explain.
Please! Don't disturb me.
She's praying.
I just need half an hour. Please.
Then, okay.
Will meet up at Must Take restaurant tomorrow afternoon.
Okay. That's enough.

Who is this? Your uncle?
Yes. Her police uncle.
Come. Let's go.
Get up.
Why not after I had this?
Oh, I'll make you eat.
My porotta.
Come.
Are you hungry?
No, sir.
There is a hotel at the next turn.
Taj.
Is it?
You will get good biriyani there.
No need sir.
You can go.
Sorry.
What is your problem?
Does it hurt?
Are you hungry?
No need.
Bro, what will we do now?
We can't even go near her now
We'll see.
An we will definitely go.
Don't over do it.
- May I? - Hi!
Come in. Please sit.
Please.
I have seen some good news for you.
I shared your proposal on that cult filmmaker with the chairman and..
He is very keen.
And he's given the 'go ahead'.
Okay.
Hmm?
Okay?
Where is the excitement? Are you not interested?
Yeah. I am.
Okay. You will be handling this completely on your own.
Okay.
But stick to the plan and proposal okay.
Yeah. I will.
Finally, I hope you stop pestering me for your own project now.
Yeah!
I will do it. Okay mam.
Good luck.
Hello.
Will you leave me alone?
What's the problem?
You are the problem now.
Don't get angry.
Can't you get her number?
And then?
and send her some video clips from the movies.
You want me to end up in jail.
Then you try speaking to her.
It won't work out.
She thinks I am some kind of creep.
Or find someone who can talk for you.
Yeah, right.
It's actually a good idea.
Should I try talking?
That's a good idea.
Will she help me?
Try talking to her more openly and sincerely.
It's not just some filmmakers story.
It's yours too.
You haven't thought about that, right?
It's yours alone.
Are you ashamed of the world knowing about you?
For what?
For being known as a B-grade directors son?
Nothing like that.
He had his own reasons.
Then you speak.
So..
Shall I speak?
You have no idea on where your father is?
I'm not even sure if he's alive.
Does your grandma know?
There is no possibility that she does.
What if I go and meet her?
What if I'll be able to convince her?
I don't think it will work out.
Let me talk.
Atleast she will be willing to hear it.
Okay, try.
- Hello! - Sundar.
Anita is with me
Where are you now?
We are down at the office parking lot.
You guys do one thing. Come to the reception.
- What is it? - I'll come there.
Okay.
Oh! You bought a pizza.
Go.
Hi.
I apologize for everything that happened at your house that day.
It's okay.
What was your mothers real name?
Radha.
How did she die?
She was ill sick for a while.
Cancer.
I never knew any of this.
And mother was a temporary staff at a transport office.
Even I didn't know about all this till recently.
My father was the director of this.
Gauri told me.
She brought me up alone.
But all this..
She never informed me.
Dad?
He died before I was born.
I haven't seen him.
What was his name?
Krishnan.
Anita, who are you living with now?
Then, it was just me and mom..
Then me alone.
Alone?
I don't have much relatives to speak about.
What happened to your father?
I don't know.
Mother?
My mom died when I was a child.
I want to show you something.
Wait, who is this?
My father Kumar.
But you said your fathers name was Krishnan?
That is the name my mother told me.
Let me see.
Hello.
Do you realize what's happening here?
This is my sister.
I cannot believe this.
Anita.
You are not alone now.
Hey! You have a grand mother.
That too a beautiful one.
You should definitely meet her.
That's all good but will she like me?
What is there not to like?
But now, we'll tell her later.
Are you feeling angry Sundar?
- Your father left you for my mom.. - Why?
From what Devan said and with the date on that clap board.
All this happened after my mothers death.
Then, Devan..
Do you know who he is. He is dad's childhood friend.
He stays at our dad’s old house.
Let all this settle. We'll go together, right?
Now you guys are brother and sister, right?
My biriyani is gone.
And I got beat up for no reason.
You were in need of one.
But it's great. It's as though your dad wanted you to be there.
Yes, in a way.
This is my friend, Anita.
Come in.
Get in.
She isn't saying anything.
Are you working together?
- That.. - That.
Saw her on the way.
Her uncle's house is nearby.
Where do you live?
Thrippaadhapuram.
Fathers name?
Krishna.. Krishna Kumar.
Grandfather's name?
Grandma, take something to drink
I don't need anything.
No, you are here for the first time right. Wait, I'll be back.
Saved.
- There's no problem right? - No.
She is very innocent, isn't it?
Innocent?
We'll see.
Come.
Get in.
I told you. There was no need of this.
That’s alright.
You sit here.
I'll check it out.
Is it 'Living-In?
Grandma!
I had doubts the last time you brought her.
What?
You left that Parvathy?
You are the one who said you didn't like her.
That..
I will have to like her if you do.
You don't have to like anyone.
She is like a sister to me.
She will be there here for 2-3 days anyway.
It's because she has no one.
What do you mean no one?
We all are there.
Thanks grandma.
Why are you sitting here all alone?
Come, let's have something to eat.
Come.
What are you doing here?
I have something to say to you.
It's urgent.
Not here. I'll come to the shores.
I wanted to ask you then. This..
Isn't this that Sanjayan?
Which Sanjayan?
That actor Sanjayan.
Actor Sanjayan.
Change the gears..
Why are you looking at me?
Can I honk that horn?
He's a player.
Tiger today, a mouse back then.
If we find him, we might get some information.
But getting him to talk would be a little hard.
But we have proof.
Blackmail and all is the last resort. It's not possible now.
What if we go to him saying that we are there to narrate a story.
That's good. Let me see if I can arrange his number.
Yes.
Did you eat?
Yes I did.
Sit.
Grandma wasn't any trouble right?
No.
She told me a lot of stories today.
About your childhood. Who is this Parvathy
What did she say?
That there is something going on between you two.
That Devan from our hometown..
It's his daughter.
- I just said it to get her mad. - Is it?
Hey, Sanjayan. Didn't they say he was on some tour?
Sanjayan.
Okay, call me if there is any development.
I'll call you.
So?
He can't get us a meeting.
Only through the manager, but heard it's hard.
What other way is there?
Maybe we should get through someone who knows him directly.
Someone like that?
He is now at Ernakulam.
In some shooting location.
A web-series or something.
He does web-series?
Then what
If he gets money he will do anything.
What if we just force our way in?
This guy can manage to find the location.
You call him.
What if he doesn't agree to meet us?
What else can we do now?
We'll go and see.
Bro..
What if we let the girls join? It will be great for our team.
Understood, to flirt?
Honey trapping.
In a good view..
If you keep it like this.
Would we get it?
The hero enters here jumping in.
And he looks like this.
It's good right?
Keep the camera there and the position from which the hero enters right..
From there, that field.
What is your plan?
I have one. You will get it after the story...
What his intentions are
What story?
I'll tell you later, just come.
What's with the suspense?
Will we get beaten up?
Sir, your shot will be only after 30 minutes
If you can get the manager away I'll take care of the rest.
- Try again - Come.
We can definitely meet with them next week.
Bro, Hi!
- I'm on a call. - Oh is it?
He'll call you later.
Just come here for a second.
He'll be there, don't worry.
Bro, just one second. We can get back early.
Sir.
What is it?
To narrate a story?
He told me to come.
Can you say it in 5 minutes?
Sure sir.
Then sit.
Start.
It's a very unique subject.
This story is about a son's search for his father.
Our hero works at a media company.
His father left him when he was a child.
His mother died when he was 3 years old.
He's slightly a porn addict.
But he a little scared of talking to girls.
When he goes to his hometown, he finds out a bunch of VHS tapes.
This was his fathers collection.
He watches one at night after everyone had fallen asleep.
It was a B-grade film.
Named 'Enter the Blue Dragon.'
A karate spoof.
That films directors name is Umar K.
Sir, he..
- Sir, shall I continue. - Yes, continue.
Who Umar K. was..
Was the next part of our hero's investigation.
For that he started watching all the films of that director.
He searched foe the technicians, actors and actresses, etc. who worked on it..
And like that, the investigation led him to many places.
But he isn't able to get to the director.
Finally, he notices a face unexpectedly in one of the film called 'Driving School'
He straight away recognizes the actor.
The actor who years back acted in this B-grade film is now a superstar.
That is our interval block.
How is it sir?
Sir?
Take the car.
Bro, bye.
He left?
There he is.
What happened?
Bro!
Why did you threaten that guy?
It was the only way to know everything
Now that is closed too.
No.
He can't just forget me like that.
What I said will definitely get him.
Then he will come searching for him.
What if the public knows the past he's trying to hide.
He'll have that fear.
He can ignore us.
No.
To say something in such detail.
He must realize that we must have more evidence.
He'll come.
For sure.
That's for sure.
What is his intention?
He started retaliating.
Why?
Didn't we screw him?
But we..
We brought up his past.
He didn't like that.
That's all.
Okay. What next?
He will come to see us, here.
What is this?
I send him that clip.
This Sunday.
5 PM
At my house.
This Sunday? At your house?
I'm telling you this will get out of our hands.
At most what will he do?
He'll make a deal. That's all, right?
I don't know..
This is trouble.
Don't be afraid.
Nothing will happen.
Drink tea. Let's go home.
Come..
Come.
Are you nervous?
Are you angry with me?
Will he come today?
What will you do if he doesn't come?
You won't look at me?
Who is it?
It's for me.
Let's sit inside.
What do you want?
Me?
I need a tea.
What do you want?
Did you just call me up here to mock me?
I can destroy you if I want to.
Calm down bro.
I have to say some things.
That's all.
Is that why you did all this?
Then what? Ordinary people can't even get to meet you.
Sir, sit down please.
Just tell me what this is about?
What do you want?
Do you know me?
How would I know?
I'm Kumar's son.
Director Kumar's son.
Umar K.
What I told you..
was my own story.
I have no intention to harm you.
I don't need anything.
What happened to my father?
That's all.
Do you know how my father died?
No
When did you seem him last?
That day you said before.
The day your father and Nancy had a fight. That day.
That is when I finally saw him.
Nancy too.
Cinema wasn't easy around that time.
Not like now.
Opportunities were scarce.
Cinema was a madness for me.
After leaving everything behind..
When I was starving..
was when I met your father.
Kumar sir.
Kumarettan.
After the sudden death of your mother..
Kumarettan held back from cinema for around an year.
He returned after that.
I still continued as his assistant then.
That's around when he got close to Nancy.
She wanted to escape all this
and what else can I do?
What happened?
I can't keep doing this.
Let's complete the shoot first.
We can talk later.
I can't do this..
The camera is rolling, should I cut?
Where are you going?
We end this, right here.
I can't do this.
Okay, let's pack up for today.
Don't get emotional. We'll try it another day.
Come, just relax.
I don't care what you say, I'm not doing it.
I'm an ordinary woman.
Doing this again and again, I'm turning into a B-grade actress.
That's not who I am.
This is a character. That's all it is.
We are doing this to make a living.
Tell it to those who sees me simply as a sexual object.
I won't let our children grow with this in our conscience.
We had decided on it.
You promised.
You aren't stopping.
I'll fulfill that promise.
For us.
Leave then.
You leaving won't change a thing.
That project ended there.
If those two had shown a little more patience..
And maybe they could have had a life together.
You said earlier that Nancy said children.
Yes.
Kumarettan had no idea that Nancy was pregnant during the fight.
But he left to Gulf immediately after that.
Now..
He said he'll get the information right.
Let's see.
Maybe we will never know what happened to dad.
But what he was..
Atleast, we can get to know that.
Then..
your documentary?
What to do without a climax?
You took this much effort..
Then what.
Doesn't Nancy come out nowadays?
Sure.
She does.
She's here, you want to see?
Where?
There she is sitting on the chair.
Get lost, you are really crazy.
Hello!
Dear, it's me Sanjayan.
I got some info on Kumarettan.
Your dad is alive.
Where are we going?
My father is alive.
I found the place. It's nearby.
Sanjay informed me. Let's check it out.
Oh, okay.
This is the place.
There.
Hey, a sanyasi.
Heavy rain, isn't it?
I need to got the loo.
Come.
Namaste!
Namaste
Who are you?
What do you want?
Is it really an ashram?
No doubt about it. Who do you want to see?
Someone named Kumar.
He's about 60 years of age.
No one here will be knowing the names of the past.
Do you know what the sanyasi name is?
- That.. - He..
was a Film Director.
Oh, I know Joshy.
Joshy?
Not him.
Son..
The people who come here..
can be thieves, bandits or even kings.
No one here questions that.
Swami, I have a photo..
see if you can recognize him from that.
Okay, let's see.
This is Sneha Swaroopananda swami.
He created this place.
Sneha Swaroopananda swami.
But why are you enquiring about him?
It's for a documentary film.
Is the swami here?
You guys are lucky.
The swami is here today.
He's busy with a pooja inside.
You can go see him?
What?
What happened? Come.
No need.
Don't you want to see your father?
No.
What is it?
And all these days we looked for him?
Not for days..
For a lifetime.
But no need.
If I ever saw my father..
I wanted to ask him something.
Why did he leave me?
I wanted to get angry.
But I don't feel that now.
I understand everything now.
Why he left me.
I have no complaints.
What is the use of going upto him and digging up the past?
Is there any use of that?
I wanted to know if he was alive.
We know that now.
That's enough .
That's enough for me.
It will all go away if I alone for a while.
You stand here.
Give me that bikes key.
Oh, it's with me. Let's go.
Are you free?
- I want to tell you something. - Just give me one minute.
Come in.
My point is.. this.
This is what I want to do.
Keep making films.
And..
here is my first sincere attempt on it.
You please watch it.
And take it on it's merit.
If you think it's crap.
then here is my resignation letter.
But one thing is for sure.
This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Tell stories.
Thank you Priya.
You have always been supportive of me.
And I'm always thankful for that.
No matter what the outcome.
Okay.
- Why this early? - Grandma.
Come, I have something to say to you.
- Wait! - Just come.
Wait!
Come.
Wait, let me off this.
No need. Just come.
What is it?
Sit.
What is it?
Is your register marriage over?
No.
Then?
It's about someone else whose register marriage was done long ago.
between Kumaran from Kezhekedam and a Radha from Paravur.
My father and her mother.
She is my sister.
I know all about my father now.
Also why you didn't tell me about him.
That you were protecting me from all this.
That father didn't leave..
but you kicked him out.
And for what..
I understand now.
Now you don't have to bear this alone.
I'm okay.
Who my father was..
what he was and all..
I can accept that now.
I'm not my father.
But she is my sister.
I want to show both of you something.
Many are those, who have accepted this magical world of cinema.
But twice that would be..
the count of people with broken dreams.
Umar was that kind of a hero and villain.
Umar K.
Namaste.
Being someone who is close to director Kumar..
What was your role?
In a way,
he was a brother to me.
In 2-3 films...
we had worked together. In the production side first.
Then acting from time to time.
and other things.
As a filmmaker.
If I said Kumar was a failure.
We can't put it that way.
There were some failures.
While trying out on opportunities.
Kumar's life got out of his hand.
In 1952, on a May 2 in Muthalakodu near Thodupuzha.
He was born as the eldest son to Dhakshayani and Rahgunandan Nair.
His actual name Kumaran Nair.
After completing his primary education.
He went to Madras, School of Arts to learn art.
This is where with the high marks he got his first recognition.
The friends he made during his Chennai days are the ones..
Who brought him into the world of cinema.
He started of as the assistant director of R. Sahadevan around 1979.
He took over the direction of his first film Nizhal Nadakam in 1985.
The movie was canceled half way due to the unfortunate death of the producer M. Vincent.
After that many producers didn't show much interest in working with him.
After a long time his first movie was released.
That too after 7 years in 1992.
Romanjyam.
Sukumaran.
Why can't you answer your calls?
What?
Idiot, come here.
Why can't you answer your calls?
Sorry bro..
I was showing them that documentary.
Good.
Pooja.
Yes sir.
Your..
your father hasn't changed a bit.
He's still living like he used to.
Just that, he has a new name.
Leave it.
You gone mad?
Leave it.
Let him be.
You come.
- But hear what.. - Just come.
From there Kumar's life started to change.
Umar who was to come out with a good film.
became a B-grade Film Director due to circumstances.
Nancy which released in 1993..
Spread throughout the younger generation back then.
Around 15 movies after that.
Even after each film became a superhit..
Kumar remained in his fake name, Umar K.
He wasn't ready to introduce himself as Kumar.
But there was something the world missed in those movies..
A technical side that beats even the commercial films of that age.
The technical brilliance of director Umar.
In 1995, director Umar..
vanished from the world of cinema.
Where was he after that?
What happened to him?
