[Skipped item nr. 6]
This is comrade Mukundan.
Since he became a leader
of the Party in Chemmannur...
...and conducted many such small and big...
...protests he got many such beatings.
Mukundan's political life starts from his
high school days... and not now.
In all the protests of the students, Mukundan
was their young leader, and grew up thus.
When he became an adult Mukundan was
known in all communist circles.
He was a worshipper of Fidel Castro.
Cuba was like his mother country.
So he got his nick name
as Cuba Mukundan.
This is comrade Anwar.
If Mukundan is fire
then Anwar was a torch.
Just like Mukundan,
Anwar too was an atheist.
And if at all there was a God that was
the Party & his comrade Mukundan.
Long live communist Party.
Long live communist Party.
This strike was against
contractor cum owner...
...Kunjunni's leather factory,
and their decision was not...
...to allow the factory to function without getting
permission from the environment people.
The protestors were all beaten up,
and the main protestors...
...are arrested by the police
and taken away.
The owner of the leather Factory, Kunjunni...
...was a smart man to get his work done
which ever party comes to power.
He has roots even in the Gulf.
Gopala, the comrades who were protesting at
the factory were beaten up & arrested by the police.
I got the information Raghavan sir.
I heard that about 5-10 of them
are seriously injured.
Mukundan are also in hospital.
I heard that too.
Since the protest are lead by Mukudan, the
police must have beaten him up a little more.
I am very proud of him.
He went on strike, got beaten up and is in
hospital for fighting for a good cause.
You sit down.
George.
- What?
Get some tea for him.
- Yes.
Sit down.
This is Mukundan's father Society Gopalan.
Brother Gopalan for the people.
He is proud to be born poor
and live as a poor man.
He was one of the founder
members of the party
and has a major share in the
making grass root level workers.
This is comrade, Karunan.
A practical Politician.
A new face. One of the brains
in the Party.
In his speeches you will hear, compromise...
...cut them down etc words too.
His main motto is don't look down
when climbing up.
As I had on some party media work,
I could not reach in time for the Dharna.
Mukundan, getting always involved in such
beatings. Where it's going to end?
The people of this state and the party...
...wants Mukundan alive.
Hence this should not
repeat again.
We've to do some thing for that?
- What to do?
Let us get out from the hospital...
...we will burn the factory of the man
who set the... police on us.
Anwar, that is not a practical step.
Kunjunni has come from, Dubai.
We have to reach an amicable solution
without any loss of face for the party.
Wasn't it a decision taken
by the whole party.
Then why this language
of compromise now?
We can't let our party
people get killed.
If possible negotiate it peacefully is the
decision of the managing committee.
Any way, as soon as you guys get out
from here we all will go see him.
We will try and see,
what do you say?
Let us get well,
then we will decide.
Oh! Come in. Come in.
It is just a minute before I arrived.
Please sit down.
Mukundan, should not
misunderstand me.
I had only told the police to remove the
protestors from the Factory premises.
But I never expected them
to use baton Charge etc.
You did not have the brains to know that
if people are unwilling to move, then...
...the police will use force and
then it will turn violent?
Hey let it go.
Isn't it all past Mukundan?
Since comrade did not get beaten up...
...you think like that.
We have not come here...
...to discuss any compromise.
We came to tell you the
situation plainly in person.
Many wells around the
factory are polluted.
The factory will not work for even a day
without finding a solution for this pollution.
I have agreed that I will do it, isn't it?
But it will take time.
And till then the loss I will
face if I shut the factory...
Let us do one thing.
10 people whom Mukundan...
...will decide, comrades are jobless isn't it...
...I will give them job in my factory.
Bribing the party. Mister this protest
is against social evil.
Not against unemployment.
Isn't it a good thing that our
people get a job, Mukundan?
Comrade should not talk like that.
No. I... we make the strike a success.
But without much loss for both sides.
Isn't that called a compromise?
Many memoranda have gone
to the government.
There is no question of allowing anything...
...that affects the lives of people living here.
There is only one compromise.
Set up the plant for treatment of the
polluted water at your earliest.
Till then shut the factory.
We will see.
Hey, Mukundan.
Mukundan.
Do these beggars have any idea that
the treatment plant costs?
What did you say?
To make the strike a success?
In publicaly...
You must have the courage
to oppose... it publicaly.
The day when you stop fearing such guys,
that day you & your party will be saved.
To make such people grow...
...in stature is dangerous.
I heard that this rascal will be
candidate for the next election.
You just comb your hair...
...place that specs on and walk like this.
If you don't do anything before the mud is
eroded away from below your feet...
...then you won't be anywhere.
If I do anything in a haste
it will a political mistake.
Get him when I get a chance.
The chance will come, Mr. Kunjunni.
Dad, I going out.
- Wait I am coming too.
Where are you going so early
in the morning?
There is a cutting of plants in Melkavu.
Oh! What plant are you cutting off?
They have planted plantain
trees in paddy fields.
We will cut off all the plantain plants.
Even plantains are a part
of agriculture, Mukundan.
It may be. But you can't
make rice with plantains.
Dosa, Puttu, Idli, and rice...
For all these basic food of Malayalees...
we need rice only.
If you stop planting rice...
...where will we go for rice?
Does dad say we wait open mouthed for
rice laden trucks to come from Andhra?
I did not say so.
Then let's do this. This cutting is
party decision. We have to do this.
Mukundan, that E.P. Gopi was a party member...
...isn't it? I heard that he was suspended.
Yes. Dad doesn't know the reason?
- No.
He was not simply suspended.
The party got a report that
he secretly drinks liquor.
If a party leader who has to be a role
model for others does like this,
not only suspension he may
even be dismissed.
If you see like that then you may have
to dismiss many such people.
If many people drink
we will dismiss many.
When Communist Party
ruled Russia...
...there were very few of them
who did not drink Vodka.
Yes the Communism in Russia broke up...
...as they went on drinking Vodka.
Dad should remember one thing.
After the party's revival, i.e. After 1964...
...we don't recognize Russia.
Yes, before 64, we recognized leaders...
...who drank Vodka.
That is because the party
was mistaken.
When a mistake is made, the party corrects it...
...even after 30 or 40 years, isn't it?
Yes, that is correct.
If that is so...
...if you realize that today's
cutting of plantain trees...
...was a mistake then will you the same cutters
will plant these plantain trees and give?
Now Vodka, cutting plantain trees...
...are two different topics. - I see.
We do have some doubting masters like dad
in the party too. Old age is the reason.
I don't have any doubt about
the Party principle.
Very good thing.
I won't say much.
Some times you may suspend saying...
...I am an anti party.
Yes, in party work there is no dad and son.
Yes I know that.
I don't know why...
I feel like saying this,
which I did not feel before.
I know it is past the age.
Yet you get married.
Marriage? Dad, I don't want to marry.
It won't work. - Why?
I too thought of this topic.
Even if I marry a... grass root level
worker from the party...
...when she becomes a wife, she will turn...
...into an ordinary Malayalee woman.
She will go to one side with
house, husband and kids.
If I go beyond that then she will start...
...dominating the husband.
Only such things occurs in our country...
...and with our women.
Only if it was China, or Cuba what deep
understanding the women there have?
Oh! It is not so easy
to go there and marry.
Mukundan, I say this seriously...
...I don't know how long I will be alive now.
- My thing too is somewhat similar.
Who knows when the police
will beat and kill me?
Dad, marriage is an obstacle
to party affairs.
You don't say such things.
If that is so, then how did Marx marry?
I have read somewhere that
he regretted that later on.
I have not read that anywhere.
Even if that was correct, do one thing.
Now you get married.
Then after some time leave her.
Mukundan.
Who? Abbas? When did come from Dubai?
- I came yesterday.
You came yesterday and
where are you till now?
Had to deliver a few letters.
I considered the annual day of
youth federation... and took leave.
This time we have to do it well.
I will bear the expense for that.
The party has not come
that such situation...
...that we should do the annual day
with the money of the bourgeois.
Why did you say so, Mukundan?
I left this place as I could not
bear the loans... I had on me.
Even though in Dubai am I not...
...worker who makes his blood run like water?
The point here is for whom
you are working.
To increase the finances of multinational
companies, the blood you convert to water...
you should make it in
Chemmannor, isn't it?
Where ever one worker works...
...he should get his wages, isn't it?
When I spill the same blood in Dubai that I spill here
I get twelve times the amount I get here.
That instead of burying that...
...I send it here every month isn't it?
Only with that it is not over.
Hey, Mukundan why you
argue with, Abbas?
Since he went to,
Dubai he won't become bourgeois.
I was only testing him.
His old fervor has not reduced so far.
Mukundan, Mukundan,
lawyer Ramakrishnan...
called from Trivandrum.
The government has... ordered for the
shutting of the factory. -ls it true?
Hey.
Long live revolution.
Long live revolution.
Locked it. Locked it.
We got the factory locked.
Long live revolution.
Long live revolution.
"You are the flowering tree from
the soil where..."...blood was spilt."
"A nation in which many
such flowers bloomed."
"See my comrades,
on the street that we came in..."
"...see the words written
in the blood of many."
"Revolution, red salutes."
"The arms used in this war
are not sharp arms."
"It is a battle field where
things are fought..."
"...we should see that our
revolutionary ideas don't die"
"With victory we should do away
with the darkness."
"The ideas we planted
and reared so long..."
"...the history says that they
are harvested and looted."
"Many crores of people gave
their lives to prevent."
"...fought and won over
the relief for people."
Fire.
"The stirring words which
opens up our country..."
"...it all comes back as
question in our lives."
"The hearts that witnessed such killings."
"...were shattered with tears drying up."
"Red salutes. Red salutes."
"Remember that we have
a long way to go."
"Be careful that one does
not go astray on the way."
"You should concentrate
on the aim all the time."
"You should succeed without
failing on the way."
"Not thinking of tomorrow
today itself we should do it."
"We should write unforgettable
stories on the way."
"The idea of equality will
never die in this world."
"We have only one dream,
then now and for ever."
"The idea of equality will
never die in this world."
"We have only one dream,
then now and for ever."
Brother Gopalan. Hey hold him. Hold him.
- Get some water. Soon.
What is the matter?
Manager Krishnan has come
from the co-op. Bank.
To see dad? Let him see him.
Hey, not that. To say something else.
How is your dad?
He is in the same state.
What is the matter?
I don't know whether I should
this at this time.
Though the society and the
bank is of the party...
...as a manager in the bank
I have some responsibility.
When he became conscious did he...
...say about anything else?
What matter?
Is it not the money taken from the money got
by selling paddy from the rice mill.
Who took the money?
For some urgent need of the society brother,
Gopalan had taken 20 lakhs.
For society's urgent need?
Such an urgent has not come till now.
I have seen the accounts till yesterday.
- I don't know that.
There is a proof of withdrawal from
the bank... in the bank.
If it was not used for the
society's need then...
...what did brother Gopalan
do with that money?
Did he say anything about
this to Mukundan?
I don't know anything.
It has become a problem isn't it?
This was an unexpected
even in the party.
Gopalan, who was a role model in the party
what did he do with this amount?
Discussions and enquiries
took place.
At the end the party took a decision
to take a severe action on Gopalan.
This is very tragic matter.
Who is this Society Gopalan?
At a time when the British flags
were flying...
...a man who fought for the
party without fear.
Truly he is founder of the
party in Chemmannoor.
The man who founded the society the man
who made the base of the party here...
and today the same party
wants to rusticate him?
That too when Gopalan, is in a
helpless state lying in a hospital.
In the enquiry conducted by the commission
which the party appointed,
that amount was not spent for the
sake of the society. - Yes.
Then does it not mean that Society
Gopalan has misused that amount? - Yes.
Then why do we try to white wash him?
If some one else pays this amount
on behalf of Gopalan,
then can't we avoid the action
of suspension, isn't it?
Does not the party have the responsibility
of saving a true leader of the party?
When this is known outside what will
happen to the image of the party?
The party's image will shine still better.
Whoever does the mistake will get punished
is the message that will reach the people.
Who will pay the amount in
the bank you are saying?
We can talk about that after
stopping the suspension action.
May be if the Kunjunni
owner helps us out?
But we may have to compromise
a little in the factory matter.
That will not happen for any reason.
As a secretary the responsibility
for punishing is mine.
As his son I take the responsibility of taking
that amount as a loan repayment.
Mukundan, is it an amount
that you can take on you?
I have to take it.
But till I repay the amount...
...the party should give me leave.
You should get me some time too
from the bank... for the repayment.
If that is so, then why dismiss, Gopalan?
We were together since childhood.
No one knows, Gopalan as much
as I know him.
I won't agree to the decision
of his suspension.
That is a personal opinion of Rama Unni.
This is the party's decision.
Diwakaran, read the verdict.
Comrades, as per the decision given by the...
enquiry committee which looked into matter
has recommended that Gopalan be suspended...
from the party's primary membership.
Mukundan, brother Gopalan passed away.
If you don't know that your party has
CID work even then I know it.
Hence I told you not
to tell on the phone.
I had gone to Gopalan's funeral. - Ok.
In a way, his sickness and subsequent death
made it advantageous for us, isn't it?
Tell me, how did you make it stick?
When he took an amount as
a loan for the society...
a blank cheque was taken as security
duly signed by him, and I had kept it safely.
I wrote twenty lakhs in that
and withdrew the money.
If found out it is a case
where I will go inside.
But I am confident that you
two won't leave me in lurch
Will we leave you to suffer who made the guy
who got me trapped, caught in this?
Then what next in this matter?
Go with dignity, some things are still in heart.
I will let you know the rest.
I have to basically go to Trivandrum?
- For whom?
There state committee is going on there.
I will go there and call. - Ok, sir.
What Mukundan, this is?
You are sitting here?
I was to come to the junction
in the evening.
From tomorrow I am opening
the tea shop.
Last few days we were thinking about you.
Is it a small load that you have taken up?
It is a load of 20 lakhs.
How long will it take to repay the 20 lakhs
loan if you sell tea and Dhal Wada?
Is it practical?
I do not know any other work.
Or I will have to go climb
coconut trees or go fishing.
If you climb coconut trees you will get scars
but won't make so much money.
We thought it from all the angles.
Even the district committee has
doubts in your case.
If Mukundan is not be able to repay the
loan isn't it a black spot on the party?
Hence we all got together
and have reached a decision.
What decision?
Anyway Mukundan, has taken the decision to
take leave from the party isn't it?
That time, meaning, 2 or 3 years
why don't you go to, Dubai and work? - What?
Kumaran, who was selling iced sweets
daily worker, Vasu, Carpenter Balan...
many such people went to Gulf
and became rich.
Is the party's decision
to make me rich?
If the loan amount is in lakhs...
...lakhs are needed for repaying it.
If anyone else wants to help...
...Mukundan does not agree.
Don't even dream that you will run
the tea shop and repay the loan.
When you say Dubai...
If needed I will go either
to Cuba or China.
Cuba and China are communist countries...
but they don't have any law
to offer a job to a foreigner.
Even so if you do get a job...
Cuba and China don't have the
capacity handsome salaries.
Who said so? Fidel Castro...
Since he was permanently against the U. S
the situation there is very bad.
We all thought it over well
and then came here.
Karunan's brother-in-law Sidharthan
is in Dubai.
There is no problem to get
a visa through him.
The District committee says a leader
like Mukundan is needed in Dubai.
Isn't it a place where thousands
of Malayalees are working isn't it?
They have problems.
But they are not organized.
The District committee thinks that you can
solve most of their problems.
There are even talks about giving
voting rights to the expats there.
Hence we should get them to our
ways as early as possible.
Mukundan, need not know anything.
We will take care of everything.
Just prepare mentally to go to, Dubai.
That is all Mukundan has to do.
The bus is coming.
Don't be troubled.
Just think of it as a place change.
Marx has said that there is only thing that
does not change that is change itself.
Though it is for repayment of loan...
I am going there to solve the worker's
problems over there isn't it?
Get in. Get in.
Ok, you can go. Right.
Red salute.
Our good wishes. Our good wishes.
Our good wishes. Thousands of good wishes
Isn't this first time you are
coming to, Dubai?
Yes. My only solace was
that Sidharthan is here.
How is it here?
The party is functioning well here isn't it?
I know that I should not ask such a question
my comrade's brother-in-law.
How long it is since Sidharthan is here?
About 5 years.
What does Mukundan expect
when you say party functioning etc.
What I mean by it is as yourself...
your comrades too are ensured
leading a good life as yourself...
To do away with bourgeois powers
that try to exploit them.
All those things are included
in the laws of this government.
It may be.
Yet I heard that there are
many Capitalist here.
To tell you the truth I wanted
to go to China or Cuba.
Then Cuba would have improved. Cuba.
Mukundan, see this tunnel,
it is about 1.5 km long.
Is there such a tunnel in Cuba
which you said?
See the sky scrapers standing.
Will the whole Cuba will come
to one such building?
Siddhartha. We ourselves should
not talk lowly about Cuba.
Then one more thing...
Fidel Castro has never said
that the tall building...
...in a country determines the
growth of that country.
I see. So that is how you got the
name as Cuba Mukundan.
So you have come for party functioning,
or to repay the loan of your dad?
My intention is both.
I have to study the worker's problems
and report them all in time. Yes.
God is Great.
There will be many things that
Mukundan doesn't like.
So don't organize some strike and become
an enemy of the government here.
That I will never do Siddhartha.
This place has provided jobs
to many Keralites...
who were hungry, and jobless
over there, isn't it?
Can we forget that?
Oh! So you know all that, isn't it?
Sure. But are workers being exploited.
Do they getjustice? That I will enquire.
Will you get time for all that after work?
Time of work is 8 hours isn't it?
- Yes.
Just 4 more hours after that.
Still there are 12 more hours.
Let that be. What will be
the nature of my job?
Now I can't say that.
But if you don't do yourjob properly then the
nature of those who make you work will change.
Here hold it.
Hey, why did you get it here?
If you kept it in the room it will be ok.
No. It is always convenient
to carry it with you.
Not only that, you will actually see all the
problems of the workers yourself and study.
And the pen paper file etc to make
the report is all in this bag, isn't it?
Hey do it soon.
Hey, Greetings.
- Greetings.
Are you a Malayalee?
- What?
He is a Pakistani.
Here Mukundan, will work here.
Here?
- Yes. At present here.
In fact Mukundan, you are man from a
Labor Supply Company.
That is when a Company doesn't have
enough workers on its own...
the Labor supply company
supplies its men on hire.
On hire? Men?
- Yes.
If you work here today, next week
you may work at some other place.
Hence you can study in details the
various problems that workers...
come across in many types of
companies in much detail.
What will be the nature of my job?
That you will know immediately.
You just go with him you will know.
I am going.
Hey if you go like that, then how will
I reach my room in the evening?
The company will give you
a place to stay.
It also provides the transport
to reach there.
I have arranged for all that.
Won't that be a bother for the company?
Not at all. The company won't
be troubled at all.
The company has a very broad heart.
Ok, sir.
- Ok, sir.
Siddha...
- Red Salute.
Come on.
Either you take or don't. You can go.
Wear this and come.
Wear this and come.
Keep your things there.
What?
- Hey keep it there.
Hey told you to keep the bag there.
- I see.
Go and work.
- What?
Go and work.
Keep those things on his head.
- Yes sir.
Go behind. Go behind.
Go behind.
Hey, Malbari, here, here. Bring it up.
Load up.
Are you a Malayalee?
- What?
Are you a Malayalee?
- Yes.
What is the problem?
- Name?
Aravindan.
From which place of Kerala are you?
Chenganoor. What for?
How long are you in this company?
About 5 years, what do you want?
Are you satisfied with
facilities provided here?
If we are not then?
If you are not then you have to
tell me why you are not satisfied.
What if we tell you?
- I will find a solution.
Who? You?
If you want to know everything
you can go and ask there.
Put this on his head.
Go.
Work Shirker.
Hold it. Oh!
Still there is half an hour more for
today's work to get over isn't it?
What? There are 4.5 hours
for today's work to finish.
Then the work timings over here
is not eight hours? - Eight hours?
This is very bad isn't it?
Is there no one to question?
Who is the Union Secretary over here?
- Union?
There he comes.
He is the Union Secretary, Treasurer,
President all in one here.
Just tell him.
I want to go to toilet.
Long live revolution.
Long live revolution.
Come on go inside.
Sir come here.
This is the new man that
the supervisor told about.
So you wore the Uniform the
moment you left our place, isn't it?
Which is my room?
- Room?
This is your room.
From today you are the occupier
of this 6 foot bed.
In the factory, you were inquiring
many things weren't you?
What were those things?
I was looking at the faces of the workers
and understanding their nature.
Did you do so?
- Yes, I understood.
I understood that the workers
here are more of pretenders.
Did you get that what I told you?
Siddhartha.
Siddhartha. Siddhartha. Siddhartha.
It was you, Mukundan?
How many times I yelled?
Did you? I could not hear due
to all this noise.
Then how is Mukundan, now?
How is your work etc? Very good isn't it?
It is very good. - Yes.
A special comfort is there.
A comfort that did not get so long.
Then all the people who work with
you are also comfortable like you, isn't it?
Yes. Since they are enjoying
this comfort for so long,
they did not feel so comfortable as I felt.
If there is some such thing
then note it and keep it.
You have to give a report to
the party secretary isn't it?
That I am noting from time to time.
- I see.
Carry weights for 12 hours continuously...
...taking a bath in the open,
eating salt less Khaboos...
I have no objection any of them?
- Then what is the problem?
But if I could work in place that
was more airy and with more light,
then it would have been much better.
Why you ask for a little air
and little light?
I will get you to place, with good air
and good light. Enough? - That is enough.
With good air
and good light
Who is it?
That man has not come to work today.
Do one thing...
Are you a Malayalee?
- Yes.
Good. I want to meet your boss.
I have written complaint in full detail...
about this organization and about
the injustices done here.
I want to give to the boss over here.
Who are you?
- I am no one special.
You can say that a man
who understands...
the problems of workers and
also tries to solve them.
The M. D is in a meeting.
- I will wait. You just give it to him.
Red Salute, Comrade.
Welcome to, Dubai.
Hey what is this Mukundan, going?
Since there was some
misunderstanding...
...in our place should show it
even in a foreign country?
Come, Mukundan. Sit down.
Sit down. Tell me how are things?
Have you come here after locking
up the companies in our place?
Hey, relax I was justjoking.
What you want to drink?
Tea, coffee, juice...
...just a minute.
Miss Merlin, get me a juice.
Did you see the complain I gave?
Yes, I saw it. I read it.
Here too your political functioning
seems to be continuing Is it?
Though a complaint, when I saw
Malayalam I was taken aback.
You have found out all the problems
and have written it all in full detail.
As a Union leader, to always
engage in labor discussions
to say as far as I am concerned
is a very nostalgic experience.
After leaving our place I really miss it.
Keep it here.
Juice please. - Have it. Have it.
It is an organization where hundreds
of people are working, isn't it?
I did not know when Mukundan joined.
Hence according to previous experience
and capacity of the comrade...
I could not give you a job.
Only now I feel relaxed.
At least now you understood that I did not
go on strike due to any personal vendetta.
I am very satisfied.
- I forgot all that at that time itself.
Now your present problem
is a good job for you.
Whatjob will I give to, Mukundan?
Your experience is to instigate
workers to strike isn't it?
But never mind.
The bestjob for comrade without much
physical trouble, a suitable job for you.
Comrade you do one thing.
Here, these data you feed them
in this Laptop.
In a country where unemployment
is on the increase
Know that there is no food for them.
First get the work for all hands.
Then we can bring in computer.
Let the computer go to dogs.
Though the party has changed
its views slightly from the old outlooks...
personally I am against the computers.
Not because you don't know, isn't it?
Ok, let it go.
The story so far if you ask, comrade
Cuba Mukundan came to, Dubai to make money.
Doesn't know to work physically.
Doesn't know the language.
Does not know the computer too.
The people who know these too
are struggling over here.
And the only job you know is to organize strikes.
You can't do that here at all.
When you have your self realized that
you are good for nothing, keep thatjuice there.
Get out of here.
CD. CD.
You Malabari?
- Yes.
Mammuti, Mohanlal, Siraskopi.
- What?
Mammuti, Mohanlal, Siraskopi.
Siroskopi, no. Suresh Gopi.
Siroskopi.
Siroskopi, no. Suresh Gopi.
You film? Sell CD?
Saudiram. Saudiram.
No job, no house, no TV.
You Nepali?
I Sumi, China.
- China?
Communist China?
Great Communist China.
I wish you get a job when we meet again
you should buy CD from me then.
A china which has no evil doers
and no bad people.
A china where labor
is always respected.
China is a very good country...
...where good people are born.
China is very good.
A china which has no evil doers
and no bad people.
A china where labor is
always respected.
Madam CD?
- No thanks.
China. China. Wait.
You China? I Kerala. Communist.
China full Communist.
Kerala full Communist.
Your Mao Tse Tung is P. Krishna Pillai.
Long live Revolution.
Before when there was a war between
China and India, we stood by China.
Then Quit India strike. 1942.
Britain, we stood by them in your support.
You should not forget that.
You selling pirated Cds. Bad. Very bad.
I can't understand what you are saying.
China.
More difficult than even beggars.
Who is it? Thief. Thief.
Thief. Thief.
Come running. Save me.
Thief. Thief.
Who is a thief?
I just searched for some water in your bag.
For that you shout like this?
When you touch my bag,
shouldn't you ask me?
If I should ask you, you should
be near the bag isn't it?
Yes. A dupe told me to come to this park
and he will introduce me to person for a job.
This field is 600 acres big, and I am going around
this place since morning in search of him.
He duped me. I am so hungry
I might die.
When I was so thirsty,
I looked for water in the bag.
I see. When one sees this tie etc one thinks
you are a big man in a big post.
You too don't have a job, isn't it?
Whatjob do you do?
If I had any then would I come...
...and sleep in this park?
Then if you see, we both are vehicles
that run on the same route, isn't it?
By the by I will introduce myself.
I am James Trivandrum.
I see, I am Mukundan, Chemmannoor.
- Thank you.
Then we have common basic
subject to be discussed.
If you don't mind come along.
- What?
Sorry, you don't know Arabic, isn't it?
Come with me.
Green apple, good to eat. 10 dirham,
120 Indian rupees. Don't want?
6 Dirham 50 fills. It is 75 Indian Rupees.
But we don't have a place
to cook, do we?
Let us see something
which is very low priced...
...and which we can eat
as soon as we buy it.
There it is. I got it.
Let us take 4.
Khuboos(bread).
This is Yogurt.
Both together Mukundan dirhams.
It is 24 Indian rupees.
At least is this Ok? - Yes.
Give. From tomorrow Ramzan
fasting begins.
Then one can't eat anything in public.
Though it has an advantage.
Since there are no mosquitoes
we can sleep in the park isn't it?
Yes you can, but the snacks we bought
will be wasted isn't it?
If we lie there the police
will take it away.
After that they will take care of our food.
Now hold this. There you have
to pay the bill. Go. Go.
When I came to Dubai,
I stayed here.
Then don't make any noise, or any
trouble VIPs are staying nearby.
Later I may forget. Take out 10 dirhams.
- What for?
Didn't you see me give 20 Dirhams to lie
in this place to the watchman?
Half of that amount is 10.
I saw you talking to him but I did not
see you give him anything.
Will any one give bribe openly?
Give me 10 dirhams.
If I give you 10 then I don't even have
money to even buy cold water.
For that there is a way.
From tomorrow fasting starts.
We need not eat anything
during the day, isn't it?
The fasting is for only
the Muslims isn't it?
Whoever fasts will get blessings.
That is what is said in Quran. Ok?
When one ends fast what will we eat?
The God who gave you mouth will show...
...you a way to feed it too.
I have found of some ways too.
If we had some onion and two green chilly...
...I would enjoy eating it.
If only I could get a job before
my visit visa... ended.
This is my 7th visit visa.
6 times I went and came
...from Iran to change visa.
And now this one.
Why didn't James get
a job for so long?
There is substance in it.
The moment the interviewer looks...
. at my face with little care,
they surely find who I am.
I don't know why?
Even if I fill my face with...
courtesy,
in between the frauds which...
...are hidden in me comes out.
When it is time to end the
fast a call for prayer...
...will start on the loud speaker.
At that time, see the fruits etc
kept over there...
...all that are free, we too can have it.
Hey that is not correct.
Not correct? Then you do one thing...
...go to a star hotel, and eat.
You don't have money
in the pocket...
...and are dying of hunger here.
Now see, there is no caste or
religion for the eatables.
Then if any one has any doubt...
...just take this keep it on the head.
I don't have such a cap.
You have a kerchief, isn't it?
- Yes, I have.
Then take it out and tie it
on the head.
When the call for prayer starts...
...the attack starts.
This...
God is Great.
- Come on. God is Great.
Don't make a noise.
If God had given one more hand...
Now hold this.
What for?
- To fill it. Oh god!
I will kill you.
Fill it up.
Let that too be taken.
Look like this small bag isn't enough.
Tomorrow onwards we should
get a gunny bag.
Excuse me...
This man Abbas, is he from our place?
Yes. He is a close friend too.
This is a fish market isn't it, why here?
They had told me to ask for him here.
Is he an owner of a fish company?
Not that he won't be one.
I did not want to...
...trouble any one.
But in this situation...
If you don't mind you talk
to him about me too.
Hey, pack that fish.
Yes. Fish. Fish. Fish.
Mukundan, how come you are here?
You came here on any party work?
Come I will tell you.
Madam. Madam. Come. Come.
Does he have any other business too?
Yes, he too has work in dry fish too.
I see.
Where has he gone?
So, Kunjunni took out his anger on you.
I don't know.
I never expected that Mukundan...
...will get into such a situation.
You want a job isn't it?
If only you had come just 5 minutes before...
...I would have fixed you up.
Any way be here... I will just go to
vegetable market and come.
You have seen your friend isn't it?
Now shall we go?
Let him come here.
If you are in a hurry you go.
Hey I am not in a hurry.
Today I don't have...
...any important interviews.
What is so special in the papers?
This is Karunan. My friend.
He is standing for an election as an MLA.
I see.
You are a man with high connections...
...in our place isn't it?
And here you are... eating
Khuboos(bread) and yogurt. Very bad.
Hey your friend is waving out
to you from there.
Come. Come. Come.
Mukundan, do you see the
Arab standing there? - Yes.
The man is a big man.
He has man with many companies.
He is my permanent customer.
If he wants he can give you a job.
He is a kind man. He will help.
I have told him about you.
Just tell him you are...
...Abbas's friend.
I am going to the shop.
There is no one there.
Let us meet in the evening when I am free. Ok.
Greetings.
Greetings.
Are you a friend of Abbas?
Good. How much money brother?
- 10 Dirhams.
I will take it.
No leave it.
It is no trouble. I will take it.
Ok then come along.
What did that Arab say?
I will tell him everything.
You don't know Arabic isn't it?
- Come with me.
Come in the night.
I am going to Malaysia for a month.
Come to my office.
I will do something.
You should come today.
I will fix everything.
Ok bye.
- Thanks.
What happened?
He is going to Malaysia for a month.
I said can't you give us a job and
then go later... after a day or two.
He says he has to go today itself.
I have an urgent interview.
I just remembered that.
Now shall I leave?
Where has brother Abdulla gone?
- Gone somewhere.
A little sugar.
You took one Parotha(bread)...
...and you want to have one kg
sugar with it isn't it?
The persons who don't take curry with it...
...giving little sugar is ok.
For that should you have...
...like this?
Ok, I don't want sugar.
God's grace.
What is this, Indian Rupee?
Dirham is finished.
Aren't you a Malayalee?
You can send Indian Rupees
to India isn't it?
Hey, don't make trouble.
You better give... Dirhams.
I don't have Dirhams friend.
If so you should have told before eating.
For this Indian Rupees should I come to...
...Dubai and do business?
Even in India it won't be taken
in any airport.
Now take it back.
- What is the problem?
He ate stomach full and
gives India Rupees.
Never mind. I will change
the money and give.
Now I will take care here.
Go there and remove...
...those plates.
On that table.
Thank you very much.
Good that you were a Malayalee.
After the fast there was no food
in the mosque, isn't it?
I came to know that you did not
come to the... mosque to pray.
Don't you go to temples...
...in India?
Since in our place there is no
Mosque or Temple...
...I could get introduced
to the Gods directly.
Must be that you must
be liking non believers.
They won't call you often
and bother you, isn't it?
I don't think about those things.
Now, you did not get any job?
- No.
Whatjob do you know?
I have an experience...
...of running a tea shop in our place.
Is it? - Yes.
Here two people have gone on leave.
I doubt whether one fellow
will return back.
If you are interested you can
join us here for now.
Suleiman, had called and said...
...he would come next week.
Yes, we will see that at that time.
He is my son in law.
Now don't bother about him.
Brother, give me a cold coca cola.
- Yes sir.
Keep that luggage in
one side, go inside.
Then go and give that man
a bottle of coca cola.
Coca cola?
Hence I am telling the American
Cola companies... to Quit India.
Don't think anything.
We are against Coca Cola.
What? Did Coca cola bit
you are something?
I won't give that.
You are a communist isn't it?
Hey did I not tell not to fix a wash basin...
...in the dining hall many times isn't it?
If it is not as I said I won't
give single paise? What?
Last I bought cement,
what happened to that?
You said you'd finish construction in a year.
...and give me the key,
and now it is three years.
What? Did I not give you money?
Hey, Kuriakose don't play those...
...contractor games with me.
If Verghese has money to
waste money on the...
...phone to scold the
contractor in India...
...you could build house in
India with that money.
He said he make a house
I will make him do it.
At least for a day I want
to stay there.
Then God take me up
the very next day.
A new man too is coming.
Abdulla called and told me.
Then share of rent will reduce a little.
With that money, we can purchase one...
...sack of cement with it.
"Sister he is mad about you..."
Hey, now he is in the bathroom.
If he bathes...
...like this all money will be lost.
This guy needs 100 litres
of water to bathe.
Hey Sirish, finish it soon.
Hey, Varghese I did not take a
bathe due to cold.
Let Sirish take that water too.
When we stay together like this
don't see... these small things.
No don't... - Hey leave it, Varghese.
Has every one come?
Yes. All are in front of the TV.
Though the election is in Kerala...
...all the interest is here.
Which ever beggar wins he won't reduce
the price... of cement and steel.
Then what benefit is there for me?
Greetings. This is news from Asianet.
Now the main Headlines.
Tomorrow there will be a good crowd...
...in Bashir's barber shop.
Shaping moustaches,
tonsuring and all that.
Some who have decided not to come out...
...of the coat even if one dies...
...one can see him dressed as a man.
He has bet that if P.K. Nair is defeated...
...he has promised not to wear
that coat any more.
True, but if Kunnathoor Jacob
gets defeated...
...you should stop writing poems which...
...human can't tolerate.
Then the literary world will
come to stand still.
You who walks with a beauty parlor...
...all 24 hours,
will not understand the...
...pain that people feel.
Here is the new tenant with us.
Mukundan.
This is Nambiar. He is a PRO
in a private company.
Among the Malayalees here,
he is well known.
Hello.
Right from 1971 I am here.
It is that day he entered this coat.
Then till today he has not
come out of it.
They know him only as Coat Nambiar.
I am Pongunni, That is Varghese...
- Hi.
I am Sirish.
I am Anandan.
- I am Abu.
I am Viswam Kathalikkad.
If you have reading habit then
you would have heard.
Mukundan is a communist.
Your poetry doesn't come
in their papers.
Sihabuddin from Karunagapalli
won from Quilon.
He defeated the usual
winner R. Gopakumar.
In Kozhikode candidate Najeeb defeated...
...his nearest rival Mohd.
Jabbar by 762 votes.
This is the first time a socialist
party is winning here.
Long live communism.
Long live our leader.
Now we got the result
from Chemmannoor.
P.P. Karunan, from there
defeated his nearest...
...rival Sudhakaran by 7304 votes.
He is my colleague.
We were together...
...functioning in the party.
But the majority has reduced a lot.
Hello, yes. I will give.
Hello. Yes, Mukundan.
Red Salute comrade.
Yes, I saw the new of
your victory on TV.
But the majority has reduced a lot.
I have made a list of things to
be done... our constituency.
Now stop going around...
...TV channels, Newspapers etc.
Where there is no Assembly you should be...
...present in Chemmannoor.
Yes. Yes.
We will take care of thing over
here with the comrades.
Comrade should not think of it
and worry about it.
Then do you remember
why you went there?
The Bank Manager calls in between
and... worries us.
The money you get send here...
...without spending lavishly.
Try to repay the bank loan...
...as soon as possible.
I won't say about spending
lavishly the money I get.
My card is about to finish.
Tell all the comrades... that I inquired
about all the comrades.
Ok. Ok.
Look like Cuba Mukundan is
gone from our hands.
When he went there he
forgot everything.
He forgot the bank loan,
forgot this place...
...forgot the Party and
his comrades too.
He is minting money in Dubai, isn't it?
One Suleimani.
- One Suleimani.
Hey, get that tea quickly.
- Yes.
Mukunda, why are you here?
Hey, Abbas?
I have a job here.
Here?
- Yes.
Then did you leave the job I gave with that Arab...
...I introduced in the market?
That Arab did not give me work.
It seems the next day he is
going somewhere...
...and that he would come
6 months later only.
That is what he said to James
who was with me.
It was James who spoke to him.
- I do not know Arabic.
The next I met him he said that he gave...
...the job to my friend, that is you.
Greetings, boss.
I am Abbas the fisherman.
How are you?
There is a friend of mine working there.
Is he there now?
Ok. Ok. Thanks. Bye.
What is the matter?
That fellow took thatjob.
It is that cheat who was with you.
He is a permanent staff in that company.
- Who that James?
Though we had difference of
opinion in Chemmannoor...
...I had high regards for you.
The determination and courage you
showed... to defend our place,
you could show a little of it...
...in your own life isn't it?
What has happened to you?
They made a story that Comrade Society Gopalan
...made a scam for money in the party...
...and you swallowed
that story fully...
...and took up the responsibility to repay it...
...and for that you came to Dubai.
I did not believe that Gopalan did so.
And you his own son believed it?
I did not believe it.
But proofs were so.
Proof. What happened then?
That Karunan got in your place...
...and became an MLA too.
I don't want to become
an MLA or a minister.
I and dad did not work in
the party for posts.
But to stop non merited
people getting posts...
...in the party and to fulfill the responsibility
...towards the Party and the people...
...it is the duty of the party functionary to accept
...the posts given to them.
If something happens to
resign or take leave...
...who are you?
Are you A.K. Antony?
My Lucy, send the children
to school then...
...go to the building site
and stand there.
In a wink's time they will sell off
cement sacks... steel rods.
Ok, here the card is over.
Chicken fry and Biriyani is ready.
Daily chicken?
This will not do.
I have cholesterol,
I won't give my share.
You need not give for today.
This is from me. Tomorrow my daughter...
...is getting married.
Oh! If that is so, if I have one piece...
...my cholesterol won't increase.
If you don't have to give share...
...even if you have daily,
you won't fall sick.
Isn't it sir?
What ever it is don't give
Coat Nambiar any chicken.
Hey, you have come?
Who is it? A friend?
Yes. He is Abbas.
He is from my place.
In which company do you work?
Not in a company.
I work in the fish market.
In Dubai or Sharjah?
- In Dubai itself.
You both wash your hands and come.
- What is special today?
My daughters marriage day.
I see. A happiness for that.
You sit here.
I will bring one more plate too.
Come let us sit inside.
- Yes.
When your daughter is getting married then...
...why did you not go home?
What will I do going there now?
For wedding what is needed
is gold and money.
That I have sent as needed.
For seeing all the things,
she has Uncles.
My three brothers too are there.
With the ticket money I can buy more gold.
I am not needed at all there.
But last night daughter had called.
She asked dad, why did you not...
...come for the wedding and cried.
I too could not control.
Don't cry.
"Thathithga thai dhom
clap to the tunes."
"Thathithga thai dhom
clap to the tunes."
"The village people ask
when I will return?"
"I too don't want to return back here."
"The frogs that cry endlessly..."
"In the fields I saw in my memory."
"I saw the drying plants in
the sun in my dreams."
"The village people ask
when I will return?"
"I too don't want to return back here."
"Thathithga thai dhom
clap to the tunes."
"In shape the flowers,
in full moonlight..."
"...When the boats of
Tiruvonam move on..."
"In shape the flowers,
in full moonlight..."
"...When the boats of
Tiruvonam move on..."
"My place which the waves
touch forever call me back..."
"...like the sweet dreams with the
sweetness of the coconut water."
"The village people ask
when I will return?"
"I too don't want to
return back here."
"When the oars move the boat on my chest
the pains came out as a song."
"When the oars move the boat on my chest
the pains came out as a song."
"In the song that was sung from the heart..."
"...I heard the whimper behind it."
"The village people ask
when I will return?"
"I too don't want to return back here."
"The frogs that cry endlessly..."
"In the fields I saw in my memory."
"I saw the drying plants in
the sun in my dreams."
"The village people ask
when I will return?"
"I too don't want to return back here."
Hey, go. Go there.
Ritish, after him it is me.
You go there.
Hey, coat come out.
How long you took?
Should I not finish taking bath, Varghese?
- Ok, go.
Latest CD. New CD.
You run away. Go.
Me, there...
You fool, where did you come from?
I lost all my earning.
Are you riding bicycle blindly?
Why police coming. I afraid.
You don't say anything.
All my earning was in that bag.
What I will do?
Get lost from here.
Why angry? I love China.
You fool. Fool.
Oh, God. Oh, God.
If you lie like this for a while it is ok.
Everything will be alright. Ok?
You are a Malayalee?
- Yes.
Half the people in the Gulf
are our people.
What is daughter's name?
- Maya.
Where in Kerala?
- Near, Kannanoor.
I am from Chemmannoor.
Is it? My house too near there.
Do you know a retired headmaster Balan...
...from Cherkarai? - Yes.
He is my dad.
- Is it? Yes.
Isn't he the right wing Communist
party leader... Balan teacher?
He has taught me in school.
Though the war is in Iraq,
Palestine and Lebanon...
...it is being suffered by us poor people.
What Karim? Did any one put a bomb on
your head... in the market place?
Bomb? This is a missile.
A missile.
What rise of prices for fish
and vegetables.
Then till the war is over
I will go to the market.
I too want to see if the
prices come down.
Uncle, you go to the room
and take rest.
Don't move more.
You have slip disc. It is a risk.
I will look after the management
and accounts
...and give you the whole accounts
in the room, in the night everyday.
Yes. In spite of me being here...
. money goes missing from here.
From today when I am not there...
...let Mukundan handle the cash here.
I am not used to sit and work.
Then from today get used to it.
What?
Yes.
A man who just came yesterday...
...who doesn't utter God's name,
a non believer...
...and you entrust him with cash?
I am you own son in law,
that too a believer...
...yet you don't value me?
Don't teach me, about believers
and non believers.
There is caste which is
neither of these.
Con men. The say Kabada Viswasi
in Malayalam.
Mukundan, is an atheist.
But he doesn't do anything
that God doesn't like.
Mukundan, come here and sit.
I will go to the mosque and come.
You come.
Sit here. Sit here. Sit here.
Sit here.
I will come now.
I brought you from the airport.
I took you up to the job places.
And you left one day without even...
...saying a single word to me.
Where all I inquired and found
this place do you know?
Why did you take so much
trouble and found me?
I understood everything.
Since I organized a strike before
Kunjunni's... leather factory,
you all trapped me
and got me here.
All these was for revenge isn't it?
I told you I would go to
China or Cuba.
You all did not agree.
They said there are trees
on which money grows.
I didn't see any of those, so far.
I just want to know now
if Karunan too was in this.
Which, Kunjunni boss?
The owner of the labor supply company...
...Kunjunni Boss.
Isn't it his leather factory... we went on
strike against and got it locked up.
I do not know of any Kunjunni boss...
...and I don't know of any of your
issues in Kerala too.
Mukundan, is deep in loan,
get him...
...so Uncle said to me
when he called me up.
I went to Kallikandi Haneef
and told him the matter.
It was he who arranged all this.
Now if you need any otherjob,
I will get it for you.
I don't want yourjob,
neither do I want to see you.
But Uncle calls me and
inquires about you.
Shouldn't you repay the bank loan?
Every month if you send
a small amount...
...it will be like dissolving
asafoetida in the ocean.
I have told Uncle, that I will make
you join in my... chit fund.
If it is so you can repay a big amount...
...at one go, isn't it?
If I feel like joining any chit funds...
...I will find a suitable to me.
If you don't trust me ask Abdullakka.
He too is there in my Chit fund.
I won't leave you.
You ate, drank and now say...
...that you don't have money?
This is usual talk all the useless people
give when they come here.
Hey, she says she lost
all her money...
...and she is hungry
for two days.
She says she will...
...give it after a few days.
So that is the matter.
Karim, I will write her money
in my account.
Who is she?
Is she your Uncle's daughter?
You money I give.
But you Chinese taking Coco Cola...
...is not good. No. No.
Stop. Stop. I will tell you.
What did she tell about me?
She said it was you made
her like this.
In this time you did that too?
Hey no. It is her misunderstanding.
Hey you know Chinese isn't it?
Just call her. I want to tell her
that I am innocent.
All that I will tell, but what about
joining the chit fund?
That I will do later.
You call her.
Or else, since I am busy now...
...either today or tomorrow can we
meet in some restaurant?
The Chinese comrades even eat
their food in a unique style.
Yes. But looks like she has food
for the first time. Got a good speed.
Don't say that.
Since she has no time to waste
she must be hurrying.
I have brought the Chit fund book.
Take God's name and sign here.
Here take this pen.
Ok. Then that matter is done.
Now come to the topic.
Which topic? You tell me.
I will ask her.
How far has communism
gone in China?
Will it immediately overtake the U.S. Or...
...will take some more time? Ask her.
Ask her.
If it is 5 pm in China then
what will be the time in America?
5 O' clock
Did she say it will take five years?
Yes. Yes.
She said in five years China...
...will overtake the U.S.
In order drive away such evil forces...
...we are supporting our traditional
enemy Congress only from outside.
Only from outside.
Hence China is not angry with me isn't it?
Ask her if she knows about
the comrades from Kerala.
Ask her.
I heard you people eat worms. Is it true?
Yes, we eat only clean worms.
Silk worm, worms in Rose...
beetles all these are good to ate.
The jokes of this girl.
What did she say?
She says she knows all the Malayalee...
...Communist leaders.
Comrades, A.K. G, E.M. S
Krishna Pillai, Nayanar...
...are all like fore fathers for her.
It is?
Yes.
Do you know Achundanandan?
Opposition. Opposition.
Do you know Pinarayi?
There is no such problem as
enemies think about them.
Friends. No problem.
No problem. Friends.
Very good friends.
Yes. How much is it?
- Twenty five.
Get out. You cheat. Idiot.
Trying to fool me?
Sorry madam.
No rent. No room.
Get lost. Go.
What? No room.
No cry, come. Come.
This is a Chinese woman.
Looks like she is driven out
since she did not pay the rent.
If Maya, can help she can
get an accommodation.
Since your dad's is
a right wing communist...
...I know that you are more
sympathetic with Russia.
Yet you must remember that China too
is communist country.
What is the connection between
you and this Chinese woman?
Since olden times there is a relation
between China and Kerala isn't it?
Chinese nets, China clay dishes.
Hence?
Nothing, but if you help it will
be an obligation.
Temporarily I will keep her with me.
But without knowing details
about this girl...
About that I take full responsibility.
There won't be any trouble.
Balan teacher. Russian communist.
Daughter Maya. No problem.
But at the place where
I stay the rent is more.
However much is the rent I will give.
First you tell her the matter
and comfort her.
She doesn't have any one else.
Don't worry I will find a bed for you.
Mukundan will pay the rent
Is it true?
Thank you very much.
Then everything as I said.
There is no one at the shop.
Interval... before China invades Kerala
Don't you have to get up in
the morning and go to work?
Haven't you finished writing
all nonsense about your place?
This to be sent for a competition.
Last year's award, due to the grudges
of the committee people, I missed it.
Why you have kept your hand like this?
Have a chest pain?
Take care. Last year
Kunju Kader went home.
He had such a heart pain.
He said it was gas and
did not take care.
He did not get up.
There are many types
of pains isn't it?
This is different.
This a heartache which has pleasure.
Comrade, just open the curtain let me
atleast see a bit of the sky.
"At the horizon the flowers
of our wishes will bloom."
"Where is the garden where
never withering flowers bloom?
"Let us go and harvest."
"I will give you company."
"Is there a sickle like the
moon in the sky?"
"The bangles make a noise
when I cut the harvest."
"Even if I don't sleep or
if I am sleep..."
"...you are in my day dreams."
"You are the red star in that dream."
"The magic of your love
makes me smile."
"The white moon makes me sleepless."
"You are the woman
from a place I like."
"I can see your red face
in darkness too."
"Let us go round alone
in the boat for rides."
"Let us sing loves song there."
"Come with me,
give me company."
"At the horizon the flowers
of our wishes will bloom."
"Where is the garden where the never
withering flowers bloom?
"I am speechless and stunned..."
"...When I and you are alone
and in love."
"Even the winds around
sing in lilting tunes."
"And it brings the fragrance
of flowers with it."
"Love drips from your eyes."
"You lovely girls I am in
love with you."
"The one who is always
in my sweet dreams."
"I will make a garland and
put it on your neck."
"Come with me, give me company."
"At the horizon the flowers
of our wishes will bloom."
"Where is the garden where the never
withering flowers bloom?
"Let us go and harvest."
"I will give you company."
"Is there a sickle like the
moon in the sky?"
"The bangles make a noise
when I cut the harvest."
Hey. Mukundan
What happened, Mukundan?
What happened?
- Nothing.
Hello. Yes, I got it.
It is our sister Maya.
Hello, Maya...
Yes, Mukundan nothing very serious
our Chinese comrade fell down.
What? It is a great wonder.
I too just fell down.
Did that girl too fall down now?
If it is so, then we both
fell down together.
Hey, it was yesterday.
When I saw in the morning,
I saw a little wound.
I just took her to the doctor
and am returning.
Nothing serious.
Just a little wound.
Where are you both now?
We are at the road next
to the creek.
The way to my room.
I just informed, Mukundan.
Just do one thing.
That be there, I will come right now.
Hey, no. Mukundan
need not come.
I want to come. I am coming.
I will come.
What happened, Mukundan?
A serious accident,
I will come now.
Accident? Where?
I will return and tell you all.
Hey, here. Here.
Hey, her hand. What happened?
Actually what happened?
You fall, I morning fall. Very pain.
Ask her if it is very painful?
Did I not tell you over the phone that
it is nothing to worry about?
Then why are you so tensed?
If anything happens to China,
then Kerala, cannot bear it.
Then it is an international communist
meet isn't it?
I never expected that there will such
a connection between dream and reality.
Which dream?
That is a different dream.
Since I rushed when I came in hurry
I did not buy anything.
What to buy?
When one comes to see a sick person
should not one get something.
I will go and bring some
apple or orange.
Hey nothing is wanted.
Even if needed I will buy and give her,
And say that you got it for her.
- That too will do.
If we get some herbal oil
from our place and give?
What do you want to do?
It is good for such hits,
wounds and scalds.
I did not ask that.
Even when I said don't come
why did you run and come?
That...
- I understood it.
What did you understand?
Tell me what you want to tell her.
I will tell her.
Shall I get apple for her?
Let the apple be there.
Answer my question...
Shall I tell her what all you said?
Hey, don't. If there is
such things to say...
...I will say it personally. Isn't that correct?
And also pleasurable?
In which language will
Mukundan say that?
That... Maya can teach me how to say
all that in Chinese.
It is getting for me to go to work.
You come with me.
Nambiar sir, Siddharthan has come.
He is going to pick the name of this
month's choice for the chit fund.
Didn't you see?
My coat is not yet dried.
Hey whom to show that sir?
Come, this time you may be lucky.
Me? Chit fund? If I did have such luck
would I be lying this here?
Hey, who is it?
After staying such a long time with you all
I did not see such a scene?
That coat must be crying right now.
Isn't this the first time in life
it is away from him?
Sirish, you pick up one chit.
Pick my name.
Third daughter's husband
has asked for...
...imported Fridge and TV.
My daughter is not that fair.
Fridge and TV, here the house work
is not over yet.
If my name comes then I will pour
the next floor and finish the work.
God.
All see.
Who is the lucky man?
Who is it?
It is Mukundan.
- Who me?
It is good. He is the most
needy among all.
I can repay the loan upto
three fourth the amount.
What I sent so far is gone
in interest itself.
Then I will bring the cash
within a week.
You don't worry.
I have a person in the new showroom.
We can arrange to send TV
or Fridge from here itself.
Now son in law should not get
angry without these.
God.
Mukundan.
Which goon?
- Mukundan.
Mukundan, he is go. God.
Room cleaning every day, one man.
This cleaning Mukundan.
Cleaning, water, soap powder,
broom, cleaning...
Mukundan.
What?
Oh Shanmu? He is going on leave
in December.
Mukundan.
Oh. My dear sister... God how will I make
her understand?
Mukundan. No come. No come.
You go. And Mukundan come.
You come.
Oh, God. I am saved.
God, this China pot will
take me and go, I feel.
Now she should not come again
with some doubt.
Where is, Mukundan?
Mukundan, is... Hey it is you.
Today is Mukundan's duty
for cleaning the room.
He will be late to come.
You just tell this China Pot here
and make her understand.
Karim, call Mukundan on the phone.
Mukundan, it is me. I had brought
the Chit fund money.
No I have to go to Jabel Ali
for an important work.
I thought Mukundan will be here.
Karim is here.
Don't give in his hands.
- Ok.
Then Chinese woman has
come here to see you.
Is it?
Yes. Shall I give her and
send it to you.
You can confidently send it with her.
She knows where I stay.
- Ok. Ok.
What a joke.
Count this and see.
- Why?
I need a witness.
He told to send the money with her.
80000 Dirhams.
Here is 2000 more.
Then it is 82000 dirhams.
That is in India it is 10 lakhs.
- Yes.
Then give it here.
Mukundan is waiting for you.
Give this cash to him.
Okay.
- Thank you.
Karim, get me some of your special
Chicken fry & two breads for me.
You just said You had to
urgently go to Jabel Ali.
Who said?
- You said.
Yes, Jabel Ali, isn't it?
After having come so far can I go without having
your special Ginger chicken fry?
This is the first time in my life a person
said my cooking is good.
Today I will kill you in the pot.
What she did not come so far?
Siddharthan is here. Yes.
It is Mukundan.
It seems that girl has not come so far.
What? Did not reach?
God! She duped us?
Where is she? Su Min?
She went back her country.
What? Went back home?
- Yes.
Her flight must have taken off
half an hour before.
What? What is the problem
She duped. She ran away with
the Mukundan's Chit fund money.
She? Hey, she won't do
any such thing.
Is it true?
Why blame her?
When he told me to give the money
with her I too did so.
It was good that Karim was
a witness to this.
Or else I would have been blamed
for stealing the money.
In the morning we stepped out
together from the room.
She had not said anything
about going home then.
At about 10 am she called
and asked for a loan.
I did not have money
immediately to give her.
Then after an hour when she called again
she said she got the money...
...and said that she is going home.
But...
Now did you understand?
The actual color of your comrades?
They send all duplicate items
through out the world.
She too is a duplicate.
A duplicate not worth more than
a one quarter of rupee.
Do you feel better now?
Want to go to hospital?
What? What happened?
- Feel very weak.
Today the Arab who is the building owner
has asked me to come to his office.
Why? Did he increase the rent again?
Not that.
He has given a notice to vacate our shop
as quickly as possible.
A big project is coming at that place.
It is a prime place in Dubai.
A small cafeteria at that place
is of no use to him.
We all have become useless things.
Don't be troubled.
We will see some other place.
Or there must some other way too.
Now if we have to get such a place...
...we will have to give
five times the rent.
To even pay the rent we will have to
start some dance bar.
Maybe God's will must that
it should end like this.
I had come here to stay for 4 or 5 years
and solve the family's problems.
Now it is 34 years, now I can't think
of anything else.
I have to vacate the place soon.
Those who can stay can do so.
Or else can go back home.
Only that we can do isn't it?
Hey, you are lying down here?
Don't you know Abdulla, is going?
He is asking for you.
Though this going and coming
is going on for long,
even now I am tensed
while traveling.
Here is your passport and ticket.
Keep it carefully.
Where has Mukundan gone?
Doesn't he know it is time
for the flight?
There he is.
Where were you so long?
All that is happening
is unexpected.
I will never forget you.
I will never forget you.
You are a very good man?
Why do you cry son?
God will save you.
My dear countrymen
and friends...
...our son of Chemmannoor,
Minister Karunan...
...is accepting his post tomorrow.
I here by request one and all
to take part in the function.
I am Krishna Warrior, I am the Manager
of the Co Operative bank.
Minister's close friend.
Please connect me to him.
How many days I am trying for
comrade in the mobile?
For a full week I am making some
excuse and am holding off.
When the Society people
repaid the loan...
...are asking for the cheque
given as security.
Now from where will I take
it and give?
Come inside.
For five minutes, all of you
please be outside.
I gave excuses like Cheque
is misplaced...
...I will search for it etc.
They have a doubt now.
Then they want to see the
cheque with which...
Society Gopalan, withdrew
the money.
They have the number of the cheque
given as security to the bank.
If they come to know both
are the same then.
What is the way out?
I have to agree that I did that
as per your instructions.
Comrade should talk to them...
...and somehow get me
out of this mess.
I should talk? It is only 5 days
after I took oath as a minister.
If I talk then it will mean that...
...I am involved in it too.
If so what will be my condition
in the cabinet and the party?
Even otherwise, I have many
enemies in the party.
Do one thing.
Just say it was all a mistake,
say that... we will return the
amount which Mukundan sent.
What does comrade say?
Can extremists like Anwar,
be brushed off like that?
His favorite leader Mukundan
had to go away...
...due to this problem, isn't it?
You talk to them and see.
Comrade should speak.
If I say this they will
beat me and kill me.
Under no condition
I can get into this mess.
Didn't I do it on your instructions?
There is no proof for that, isn't it?
- That means...
Think on your own and
do something man.
I have thousands of problems now.
Tomorrow's function is pressing.
We will see later.
It is a rule of warfare no to shoot
a surrendered man.
That is the only reason that I am not
crushing this dirty fellow...
Comrade Karunan is enjoying and
our beloved is struggling somewhere.
We have to immediately let all people
concerned know of this scam.
We should file a betrayal case
against Warriors.
Not only that, all the comrades
in Chemmannoor who love the party,
should not partake in today's Minister
Karunan's function today.
It is not a proper action.
Due to hard work of our party workers...
...we have got power with majority.
We got a minister too in,
Chemmammoor too.
Just believing what a bank
manager says...
...boycotting the Minister's function
is not the right action.
Whether minister or any one else has
to be punished if he has done wrong.
Now if you get this mess out...
...it will defame the party
and our government.
The opposition will take the advantage...
...and go full swing against us on this.
Let them. Only if the thieves
in the party...
...is thrown out then the
party will be clean.
Neither Chemmannoor nor the party
needs such a minister.
Only Comrade deciding on
that isn't enough.
Who said this is only Anwar's decision?
You forgot the honest party man
known as Society Gopalan.
He died very badly.
At one time, Gopalan was the party here.
The man who plotted against him...
...should not stay in the party
even for a minute.
Don't tell us old stories sir.
At this point you don't know
the position of the party.
Party is supreme for us.
The most Supreme is the people.
The Party is made for the
people by the people.
Only deserving people need stay in it.
The beggar is some one's agent.
He has been purposely sent to
defame Minister Karunan's name.
Do you have any proof that the Minister
told you to do this?
We will break your limbs
if you lie to us.
Minister Karunan, the son of the soil is coming
in the vehicle take part in the function.
Come and welcome him.
Bless him.
Let this function get over.
He has come here for the function
all the people welcome
and bless our son of the soil,
Minister Karunan the great from our place.
Minister Karunan congrats.
Minister Karunan congrats.
Congrats to Chemmannor.
Congrats to Chemmannor.
Anyway we have to give
the information to Secretariat.
I don't think that will be of
any use by that.
What proof is there
to blame, Karunan?
Manager Worrier's statement is proof.
When the Party inquires
if Warrior denies then?
Then Warrior won't be alive.
If we do that Karunan will be
saved permanently.
I feel very pained when
I think of Mukundan.
For no fault of his he is
suffering somewhere.
Is there any news where he is now?
Many of my friends in the Gulf
are still looking for him.
So far no news.
Friends may not be interested in this.
We should have gone personally
and look for him.
Personally means?
We should go there and
search for him.
Yes. Why should Mukundan
suffer now in a foreign land?
What I say is Anwar himself should
go and look for him.
I had thought of that many times sir.
But... No. There should not be
any more delay.
Hello, now where have you reached?
Yes.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
- Look here.
I'm Anwar.
- I am Maya.
Understood.
Was a little trouble to get the way isn't it?
- Yes, a little.
I had told mother not to send anything.
Mother thinks that this Mango Pickle
is not available here.
Simply at all she troubles people.
The people at home can show
their love in only these ways.
Mother had said it will remain for
a long time without getting spoiled.
In that confidence I delayed so long.
Here take.
Thank you.
I was trying to get a driving license.
Last week I passed the test.
Did you get a job?
No. I have seen a second hand pick up.
To tell you the fact I have not
come here seeking a job.
I came here in search of a man.
This job is only to survive till I find him.
That is there is to it.
Aren't you from Chemmannoor?
- Yes.
Who did you say you came to search?
A Mukundan.
He was our party leader.
He was a very close friend of mine.
No, he was just like my own brother.
Since last 3 years we have
no news of him.
I know Mukundan.
What? You know Mukundan?
Maya. Maya come soon.
- Coming.
Today is a day when we have
more patients.
Come to Abru in the evening.
- Yes.
Such innocent and true Malayalee
I have never seen in my Gulf life.
I could not understand how that girl
deceived a simpleton like Mukundan.
When Mukundan, stood there stunned with
the shock that she went with the money...
...to China, that is still in my memory.
After coming here the first person
I looked for was Siddharthan.
But I came to know that he was in some
business tour in Europe.
Then I went to the place
where Mukundan was staying.
Now a Pakistani family is staying there.
First the money he was sending
home stopped for a while.
But for last one year again money
is coming to the bank.
Money comes through Western Union.
With that as a clue, I went with Abbas
and inquired in that office.
But some one else is sending
on Mukundan's name.
I tried to contact that person,
but could not.
When I get the vehicle,
I can search a little more easily.
Mukundan, is there.
He is somewhere.
I have to find him. Bye.
- Ok.
Maya. It is four years since
you went home isn't it?
All your sister's work is done isn't it?
Now you need not send any
more money home.
You must see your own things.
Advise is not mine but your mother's
who told me to tell you this.
Anwar. I gave you Varghese's number.
Call him. Don't forget.
Though I changed my place
of stay many times...
...I could not throw this.
I have not so far opened this.
Red Salute. Red Salute.
Red Salute. Red Salute.
I will take only this.
All who stayed with us
went in different ways.
Many went back home.
Now Karim is working
in dance bar here.
He is a useless man,
but yet meet him and see.
"Friend, What do the
heartbeat say?"
Hey you did not have it?
You did not say anything
about Mukundan.
When we were together, I and Mukundan
were against each other.
Nothing he won't allow me to take money
from my own father in law.
Poor, I understood him
only after he left.
After that Chinese girl cheated him
I did not see, Mukundan again.
Some one said that he went to work
in some military canteen in Iraq.
"Friend, What do the heartbeat say?"
If that is so, then who knows
what happened to him now?
No one will know whether he is dead or alive.
"Friend, What do the heartbeat say?"
But in this world where ever
a bomb is blasted...
or a plane falls when people are accounted
for there is always a Malayalee there.
Now when there is no more
news about him...
Wait. You said you were
a driver, isn't it? - Yes.
Shall I come with you to
the Market on Friday?
A small side business.
I will tell you.
Poor fellow. If he was
in Kerala it self...
...by now he would have been
some Minister or an MLA.
To think that he came here
and struggled with us.
This Minister Karunan whom you talk of
stays in our Hotel when comes to Dubai.
He does not come here often to
enquire of his fellow countrymen.
You get to see the other
side of such big people.
With the date expired bread
what business you are doing?
Even after two days after the expired date
it doesn't get spoiled for two more days.
But if you sell at the shops
the police catches.
Hence I take it to farms
where they grow cattle.
A service for animals.
I send the money I get by
selling the bread home.
It comes of some use
at home for expenses.
Now only I am there for them.
Brother, do you need bread
for the cattle?
I don't know.
This fellow will talk only
if you catch his legs.
Mukundan.
Anwar.
Mukundan.
I had lost hopes of seeing you again.
There is no place where I did not ask about you.
How is Mukundan here?
For quite some time I am here.
They had sent me to Gulf. This too is Gulf.
Only it is in far flung area.
These are trees where money grows
I water them, graze cattle,
I am pulling on like this.
How did you get Karim?
When I was asking about you I met him.
You did not go to Iraq?
Come I will tell you.
I do not know who made that story
that I have gone to Iraq.
After Abulla left, there was vacuum.
I decided not to disturb known
people for a job again.
I roamed about in many places.
To quench the hunger I did
what everjob I got.
Sometimes for two, three days
there is no job nor any food.
In one such situation I only
remember falling unconscious.
When I came to I was lying
in an Arab's house.
That man gave me food
and gave me shelter.
One day he asked me whether I could do
something to get this place in shape.
After that night and day
I was just working.
Before in our Chemmannoor
we dug wells and roads.
I thought this too is Chemmannoor...
and in these three years
I made this place like this.
Mukundan, who thinks of Chemmannoor in every
breath the same Chemmannoor cheated you.
The loss of money, blaming Society
Gopalan was all a scam.
Keeping the bank manager
I front comrade Karunan.
No, a game played by the
Minister Karunan played.
Karuna had a clear agenda
He implemented and succeed in it.
You struggled so long for something
you had no connection with.
Hello, Anwar.
It is that Chinese girl who
cheated Mukundan.
That day that girl came to the Cafeteria
to ask for some money from you.
Siddharthan, that day had said he had to go
to Jabel Ali after giving your money to you.
After giving the money to that Chinese...
ordered food and sat there
instead of going to Jabel Ali.
At that time itself I should
have doubted him.
Shu Min. Shu Min.
Since Mukundan went out
on some urgent work...
he told her he would give
the money himself...
that he would give her ticket at the
airport and make her believe him.
When Shu Min said she will see
Mukundan and bid farewell,
Siddharthan said it was time for her flight,
and sent her to the airport.
Taxi.
Get in.
First Uncle, then brother in law.
Never mind.
I read somewhere that unless
we allow others cannot betray us.
It is my mistake.
Now no use of blaming any one.
Where is that girl now?
We did not how you would react
when come to know the truth,
we did not bring her inside.
Maya get her.
Forgive me, really I don't know.
As Mukundan thought she
is not a communist.
Her boyfriend was hounded by Govt.
For protesting against communism.
She came here to send money
for his treatment.
Now when she hears communists
she hates them.
Said that comrade, EMS, Krishna Pillai etc
were household names and now...
When you did not know her language, Siddharthan
must have told you all these lies. Isn't it?
They are all in Karim's hotel.
To study the problems of the Indian
expats here the minister's tour.
No. It is a function to award some
expats with gold laden shawl,
with no gold in it.
He has come for that.
Yes. I am the Anchor for one such
function tomorrow are Dera.
What time tomorrow?
Thus with work and religion
he came on top of the...
...expatriate Indian community here.
I am very happy to be a chief guest
in the felicitation...
of our Kunjunni who works hard for
the betterment of this and our nation.
Anwar told me everything, but I did not
understand hiding away from us.
Mukundan we were all here...
Let it go, no use of talking any more.
Minister Karunan is talking
on the stage.
Sweeper Kunjunni is being
given a golden shawl.
Next to Mr. Kunjunni, who is the
pride of Malayalees...
is a function to award him
with Pravasee Ratna.
For that I request Minister Karunan
on the stage.
I also request Mr. Kunjunni too
to receive the award.
Dear expat friends,
this land encouraged me...
...as a businessman and
as a man in society.
This your encouragement gladdens me.
Thanks a thousand thanks.
When I see the faces of Malayalees...
I think of a poetry.
When one smells the love
of the Malayalee people...
I forget the kick of the camels,
and the troubles here.
Then to remind of a special thing...
I have kept my latest music album for
sale at the counter outside the auditorium.
I humbly beg all the music lovers
to purchase...
...buy one copy of the same
and bless this humble man.
The name of my new album
is Loving eyes. Thanks
Mukundan
the minister who came for the expat...
...award function in Karim's hotel
have all booked...
...for a desert camp for tonight.
A camp meant for 500 people is booked for only
25 people by Minister Karunan and Kunjunni.
Means giving away the money of the
balance 475 people for nothing.
They won't do so unless they are
trapping a big rat.
When we watched the hotel we got
a list of foreigners in the Hotel.
Looks like our party has got
good influence in the gulf.
Anyway we are trying some things.
Mukundan, come with us, I will tell you.
Good evening.
Call later. Please have it sir.
Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
We have to please many...
...convince the party people,
close the opposition's mouth.
Then dealing in such materials...
...we have to fear the common public too.
To tell you the truth,
I am taking a risk.
Then did you get in this deal to catch
a fish without wetting the hand?
What I am saying is will these whites
will do as they say?
Leave all that to me.
I have talked in detail to them.
You be without fear.
Aren't we in the opposition?
We will make some noise in the assembly.
- But we will do what is needed.
Be careful. You know where
to keep it right? Go.
Any problem?
There is no problem, on the whole
he is taking a big risk.
So the understanding between
us is very important.
Everything should be prompt
and perfect.
We discussed it and decided
everything is alright.
Yes. Yes I know.
But this problem...
I have told you...
No use of repeating again and
again the same thing.
Take money from the white man,
and shake his hands.
You can inform him the date of signing
the deal after going to Kerala.
Give it madam.
- Okay.
Here you go.
- Thank you
Thank you madam.
Siddhartha, get up. Is there no one
to give tea or anything?
No one is to be seen.
No one?
Brother Karim.
Where has he gone?
Karim. Even the cars we came
in can't be seen.
What? What?
Can't see any of the drivers too.
Can't see the cars too.
- What happened?
Can't get my mobile phone too.
Siddhartha, call the tour operator
and give him some bad words.
Playing with us in a foreign land?
Hey can't find my mobile.
I can't find my mobile too.
If no one's mobile can be found?
Looks like some one is
doing it purposely.
Then what shall we do?
Didn't you both organized all this?
Then you are asking me?
Karim. Karim...
A vehicle is coming.
Let them come here.
Then we will do something.
Since you did not have any mobile
you could not contact anyone isn't it?
Mukundan, you...
You did not forget my name isn't it?
I am glad.
There was no news about you.
When I asked around some
said you went to Iraq...
Hey no. Where shall I go from the place
which comrade Karunan found for me.
Come, let us go in that tent and talk.
It is a long time since I saw you.
No, Karunan. This sun and
sand I am use to.
In the heat which the poor
party people developed...
...the Karunan who enjoyed everything...
...I know will find it difficult
to withstand this heat.
Why does Mukundan, talk like this?
Do you remember these
people from Chemmannoor?
This is Karim.
He helped us a little.
No need to talk more, Mukundan...
...we should beat him and kill him.
- No. Wait.
The poor man who went around for
party his whole life, my father
...how did you feel like...
cheating him, Karunan?
With the friends you got now,
you are betraying...
...your party in Kerala and
the people who elected you.
I can't make that ok.
I can forget what you did
to my father and me.
Now I have got used to getting cheated.
All the money I made with my sweat,
your brother in law...
...cheated and took it away.
I did not. What are you saying?
- Don't talk.
I could pardoned that too.
But for making an innocent
girl an accused...
...you have get punished by
the laws of this land.
The police are waiting for you outside.
What is your aim?
Do you think you have grown
so big to threaten us?
Karunan, is the most powerful
minister in Kerala.
We too are not less. Understand?
I know Mr. Kunjunni boss.
You are all smart too.
A party made fight the
bourgeois exploitation...
...you are able to change
it a little now.
You think for the pains and
troubles you experienced before,
you want to enjoy some
good time now...
...and people like Karunan
are able to do so too.
But this life in which of betrayal and
plotting cheating, is this all a life?
Stop it.
You villain don't talk.
If you do I will cut your tongue.
Karuna, our party is the sweat,
blood and tears of people.
Sitting on the chest of those people...
...today you confirmed the deal
with that foreigner today
From today afternoon it will be field
day for the TV channels in Kerala.
The face of the White man...
...Karunan's and Kunjunni's face
with a bag full...
...of dollars has come well in
the camera we kept there.
If by afternoon today you are able
to reach the hotel today
...then you can see on
the TV everything.
And when you go back they will
welcome you with...
...a garland of slippers
and rotten eggs.
You are living on strength
of the party people.
If that is not there you are just
Thottathil Parambil Karunan.
So now we are going.
If you walk about 50 kilometers
on this sand...
...you won't fail to reach the main road.
We are taking Siddharthan.
To hand over to the police.
Come on.
Uncle.
Leave him. Let's escape from here
- You and your...
Oh, God.
Ok the let us see, comrade.
Red Salute.
Hey, I am feeling tired, thirsty & giddy.
- Get up and come.
Where are you going.
- What we will do?
Now we have walk. That Mukundan
should be killed, you wastrel.
A little money.
My earning of last three years.
If he gets good treatment if your
friend will become better...
...for that you must accept this.
You came here for that purpose, isn't it?
May be he wants your company
and love more than the treatment.
Let both of you have a good life.
I don't want, though not intentionally
yet I was a cause of all your troubles.
The love you had for me
which I did not realize...
...that too I am not able
to give it back.
And now this is all you have
and how can I accept that?
From Childhood China
was my dream land.
I don't know whether I loved you
or the china in you.
This was the money which I saved for
paying back a loan which was not there.
Now it is of no use to me.
Communist principle is that not to have
more money than you need for life.
The rest for the people who struggle.
Now you need this money.
You must take it.
May be I won't see you again,
but I will never forget you, is what she said.
On what basis you decided that
you don't need that money?
If you become sick?
For the life when you come home?
You don't need money for anything?
A practical communist is a man
who lives for others.
I don't have any worries
about myself.
The life here taught me if one
has a heart to work...
...there is a solution to
everything in this world.
Then about coming back to Kerala...
...a society not knowing
the price of labor...
...if they get a small percentage...
...will close the eyes on any injustice done
talking only about opportunity and forgetting...
...duty does not need me.
- They need you.
A leader knowing the value of labor
knowing the duties and opportunities...
...leading by example is needed
by the people today.
Anwar, I won't become
a leader of any one.
I am experiencing a great equality among
the cattle and the plants here.
In that way I am quiet satisfied.
No, Mukundan cannot
escape like that.
You have the responsibility to get the wronged
people back again on the track.
Haven't you told me many times that
a communist man's life is endless.
Can Mukundan escape from it?
Congrats. Congrats. Congrats.
Congrats. Many, many Congrats.
These hands won't tire now.
These legs won't get weak now.
It is time to be lead by people like Cuba Mukundan
By example and experience.
"You are the flowering tree from
the soil where... Blood was spilt."
"A nation in which many
such flowers bloomed."
"See my comrades, on the
street that we came in..."
"...See the words written in the blood of many."
"Revolution, red salutes."
