1
00:06:44,051 --> 00:06:45,593
O Lord,

2
00:06:45,801 --> 00:06:48,385
You have showered upon us great blessings,

3
00:06:48,676 --> 00:06:53,051
for which we can never thank you enough.

4
00:06:53,551 --> 00:06:57,801
To make us share in your divine life,

5
00:06:58,135 --> 00:07:00,926
you assumed our human nature,

6
00:07:01,176 --> 00:07:03,801
restored us from our fallen state,

7
00:07:04,301 --> 00:07:07,260
and brought us from death to life eternal.

8
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,343
Forgiving our debts,

9
00:07:10,551 --> 00:07:12,176
you sanctified us, sinners.

10
00:07:12,426 --> 00:07:15,260
You enlightened our minds,

11
00:07:15,635 --> 00:07:18,593
defeated our enemies,

12
00:07:18,926 --> 00:07:24,468
and glorified our frail nature

13
00:07:24,551 --> 00:07:27,676
by your immense grace.

14
00:07:29,051 --> 00:07:32,635
For all your favours and graces
you have granted us,

15
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,801
we give you glory and honour,

16
00:07:34,885 --> 00:07:37,010
thanksgiving and adoration.

17
00:07:37,301 --> 00:07:40,051
For now, always and forever.

18
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:42,426
Amen.

19
00:07:44,314 --> 00:07:45,777
Omana chechi, did you take a share

20
00:07:45,801 --> 00:07:47,676
when pork was distributed
yesterday at Karottu?

21
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:48,885
I was about to take it.

22
00:07:48,910 --> 00:07:51,910
But by then, Tommy got
four kilos of meat from somewhere.

23
00:07:52,926 --> 00:07:54,510
I'll leave after lighting a candle.

24
00:07:54,551 --> 00:07:55,510
Come boy, let us also light one.

25
00:07:55,551 --> 00:07:58,051
I am hungry.
I want to eat tapioca and pork.

26
00:07:58,098 --> 00:08:00,098
You just had a whole plate in the morning!

27
00:08:00,301 --> 00:08:04,010
Didn't you promise to give me
tapioca and pork after the holy mass?

28
00:08:04,035 --> 00:08:05,660
That's why I came to the church.

29
00:08:06,801 --> 00:08:09,051
He will keep on blabbering.
I'll take your leave.

30
00:08:09,260 --> 00:08:10,301
Come.

31
00:08:18,510 --> 00:08:19,760
Brother, stop here.

32
00:08:21,426 --> 00:08:23,301
Okay, then.
Thank you.

33
00:08:29,801 --> 00:08:32,342
You could've joined the holy mass
if you had started yesterday.

34
00:08:32,426 --> 00:08:34,635
O, mom, didn't I tell you yesterday?

35
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,342
There was a party for Raina's birthday.

36
00:08:36,551 --> 00:08:37,885
What's for breakfast, mom?

37
00:08:38,385 --> 00:08:40,342
I have prepared the batter for 'Appam'.

38
00:08:42,342 --> 00:08:43,592
Didn't dad come?

39
00:08:44,468 --> 00:08:45,593
He was there at the church.

40
00:08:45,801 --> 00:08:49,176
Sibin came and took him somewhere
after the mass.

41
00:08:50,510 --> 00:08:52,135
Is it for some political party programme?

42
00:08:52,592 --> 00:08:55,342
But did dad agree to contest the election?

43
00:08:56,511 --> 00:08:58,095
I don't know.

44
00:09:01,348 --> 00:09:02,598
Mom...

45
00:09:02,718 --> 00:09:03,885
did you tell him?

46
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,051
So sir, what I was saying is,

47
00:09:14,093 --> 00:09:16,218
as the townsfolk caught the couple
red-handed,

48
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:19,676
all those losers are there to
take credit for it.

49
00:09:20,135 --> 00:09:22,676
As per the information I got,
their love affair is quite strong.

50
00:09:22,718 --> 00:09:24,385
And, as the girl is a bit new-gen,

51
00:09:24,426 --> 00:09:26,385
it won't be easy to convince her.

52
00:09:26,526 --> 00:09:28,943
But, if you could help them
in getting the girl out of this,

53
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:31,510
we will get four votes
including the paralysed oldie!

54
00:09:32,260 --> 00:09:33,426
My dear Sibin,

55
00:09:33,801 --> 00:09:35,718
don't get me involved in all these things.

56
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:37,385
Don't you know me?

57
00:09:38,468 --> 00:09:40,176
What are you saying, sir?!

58
00:09:40,676 --> 00:09:43,218
My dear sir, you can't be
so reserved like before.

59
00:09:43,377 --> 00:09:45,710
The LC (Local Committee)
has almost taken the decision.

60
00:09:45,926 --> 00:09:47,426
If there is a by-election in ward 3,

61
00:09:47,510 --> 00:09:49,926
only you will be our party's candidate.

62
00:09:50,801 --> 00:09:53,426
So, is this our party's stand on love?

63
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,135
It seems so.

64
00:09:55,343 --> 00:09:56,635
This is the safer option offline.

65
00:09:56,735 --> 00:09:59,401
Here, we'll have to consider
the conservative politics of

66
00:09:59,426 --> 00:10:01,510
old fathers such as the mason, Rajan.

67
00:10:01,718 --> 00:10:04,093
Please somehow deal with it
and resolve this, sir.

68
00:10:04,343 --> 00:10:06,093
We have quite a lot of
family audience here.

69
00:10:06,176 --> 00:10:08,551
The entire booth should get impressed
and vote for us.

70
00:10:19,885 --> 00:10:20,926
Did you see, sir?

71
00:10:20,968 --> 00:10:22,718
Their entire team is here.

72
00:10:24,176 --> 00:10:27,260
This migrant loser betrayed us,
Mathews sir!

73
00:10:28,885 --> 00:10:29,968
Mathews sir,

74
00:10:30,235 --> 00:10:31,360
Look at her!

75
00:10:31,385 --> 00:10:34,135
I raised her
by shedding my sweat and blood.

76
00:10:34,176 --> 00:10:36,051
And this is how she repays me!

77
00:10:36,277 --> 00:10:37,860
Don't think much, Rajan.

78
00:10:37,885 --> 00:10:39,676
Just grab him and
hand him over to the police.

79
00:10:39,718 --> 00:10:41,010
We will deal with the rest.

80
00:10:41,551 --> 00:10:42,593
That's not fair.

81
00:10:42,651 --> 00:10:44,776
Shouldn't we also listen to
their side of the story?

82
00:10:44,808 --> 00:10:46,183
Let them explain their defence.

83
00:10:46,218 --> 00:10:47,468
What is it, dear? Tell us.

84
00:10:47,510 --> 00:10:49,760
We've already told them everything, sir.

85
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:52,744
But what do we do
if they don't understand?

86
00:10:52,843 --> 00:10:54,926
Sir, that's why this happened.

87
00:10:55,468 --> 00:10:58,176
Also, we can't live
according to others' will.

88
00:10:58,301 --> 00:10:59,343
He has a job.

89
00:10:59,385 --> 00:11:00,760
I'm also working in the 'Akshaya Center'.

90
00:11:00,801 --> 00:11:01,968
I'm preparing for public exams as well.

91
00:11:02,010 --> 00:11:03,885
That's enough for us to make a living, sir.

92
00:11:04,510 --> 00:11:06,718
Brother, we love each other
and are very serious about it.

93
00:11:06,801 --> 00:11:08,176
We want to live together.

94
00:11:09,051 --> 00:11:10,926
Rajan, didn't you hear the kids?

95
00:11:11,135 --> 00:11:12,801
And, even if we go to the police station,

96
00:11:12,885 --> 00:11:14,885
the law and court will be by their side.

97
00:11:16,218 --> 00:11:17,468
Don't worry, Rajan.

98
00:11:17,551 --> 00:11:20,051
She is smart enough,
as you have raised her to be.

99
00:11:20,218 --> 00:11:22,176
Fulfil their wish.

100
00:11:23,885 --> 00:11:26,426
Just two more chapatis for dinner,
that's all it takes!

101
00:11:26,468 --> 00:11:27,926
I won't agree to this, Mathews sir.

102
00:11:27,968 --> 00:11:30,843
I don't have a whole bunch of children
to experiment on.

103
00:11:31,176 --> 00:11:32,760
She is all I got.

104
00:11:33,926 --> 00:11:35,218
Do you know, sir?
This fellow...

105
00:11:35,288 --> 00:11:36,705
I never treated him as a labourer,

106
00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:38,688
but as one of my own, all this while.

107
00:11:39,135 --> 00:11:40,260
What's the issue, then?

108
00:11:40,318 --> 00:11:42,776
He might have felt
he needs more of your love.

109
00:11:42,801 --> 00:11:43,968
That's all.

110
00:11:44,343 --> 00:11:46,468
To whom shall I seek help from now?

111
00:11:54,260 --> 00:11:55,343
Let's go.

112
00:11:59,885 --> 00:12:01,218
What have you done?!

113
00:12:02,343 --> 00:12:03,635
We just lost four votes!

114
00:12:08,468 --> 00:12:10,343
Omana, get some onion when you come.

115
00:12:13,635 --> 00:12:15,260
It is all your destiny, brother-in-law.

116
00:12:15,343 --> 00:12:17,676
Otherwise, why Kurian sir died,

117
00:12:17,745 --> 00:12:20,079
and the party recommended
your name in his place?

118
00:12:20,718 --> 00:12:22,301
They haven't made any decision yet.

119
00:12:22,718 --> 00:12:24,426
Moreover, I haven't agreed to it as well.

120
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,593
All you hear now are baseless rumours.

121
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,010
You should contest.

122
00:12:28,135 --> 00:12:29,718
It is not just for its namesake!

123
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,301
It's because you are deserving enough.

124
00:12:31,343 --> 00:12:33,343
That's why these rumours exist
in the first place!

125
00:12:33,510 --> 00:12:35,968
How many Roman Catholics
are there in our ward?

126
00:12:36,093 --> 00:12:38,343
There must be 100-110 families,
at the very least.

127
00:12:38,593 --> 00:12:41,801
You will soar up like a sky-rocket
with their votes alone.

128
00:12:42,593 --> 00:12:44,093
Please tell him, father.

129
00:12:45,551 --> 00:12:47,926
Father, you are sitting
with that petty peg for a while now.

130
00:12:48,051 --> 00:12:49,343
Just gulp it.

131
00:12:52,468 --> 00:12:54,593
Jaya auntie gave this 'Vattayappam' snack.

132
00:12:59,218 --> 00:13:00,510
Just imagine.

133
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,093
You run in this by-election and win!

134
00:13:03,593 --> 00:13:06,885
Followed by winning the Block Panchayath,
District Panchayath, and the Assembly.

135
00:13:06,910 --> 00:13:08,743
Our Maria Constructions too
will be benefited,

136
00:13:08,768 --> 00:13:10,560
as your position goes up.

137
00:13:11,093 --> 00:13:13,176
I want to build at least a highway, then.

138
00:13:13,385 --> 00:13:15,051
That is my dream, brother-in-law.

139
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,110
If it all goes well,

140
00:13:19,135 --> 00:13:21,385
our Kunjumol can walk around
with her head high.

141
00:13:22,093 --> 00:13:23,135
Oh, yes!

142
00:13:24,385 --> 00:13:25,718
You want a drink, Kunjumol?

143
00:13:25,885 --> 00:13:26,968
It is German.

144
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:29,343
I don't mind.

145
00:13:29,926 --> 00:13:31,051
Pass a glass.

146
00:13:39,301 --> 00:13:40,968
Do you drink in the hostel?

147
00:13:41,968 --> 00:13:44,385
We do drink once in a while.

148
00:13:47,593 --> 00:13:48,843
Will you have a peg, Omana?

149
00:13:49,095 --> 00:13:50,386
No, no.

150
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,718
Come on, finish this snack.

151
00:13:52,918 --> 00:13:55,418
If we keep this for later,
we will have to throw it away.

152
00:14:05,460 --> 00:14:06,918
If you come for another two days,

153
00:14:06,968 --> 00:14:09,260
we could fix a date for next week
and go for the test.

154
00:14:10,010 --> 00:14:11,301
You drive well now.

155
00:14:12,885 --> 00:14:13,968
Ms Susie,

156
00:14:14,058 --> 00:14:16,017
you take the wheel
after that college junction.

157
00:14:16,176 --> 00:14:19,510
I am not in a hurry, Thankan.

158
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,510
It's okay even if
I get my chance tomorrow.

159
00:14:21,551 --> 00:14:23,635
Don't you see the poor condition
of these roads?!

160
00:14:24,510 --> 00:14:25,593
Best!

161
00:14:25,968 --> 00:14:27,385
Ms Lissy, you come then.

162
00:14:28,385 --> 00:14:30,135
I feel kinda unwell, master.

163
00:14:30,301 --> 00:14:31,676
I am not in the mood.

164
00:14:32,093 --> 00:14:33,801
For what joy do you come here, then?

165
00:14:34,218 --> 00:14:36,510
We gotta do plenty of work
if we sit at home, Thankan.

166
00:14:36,801 --> 00:14:38,176
We will learn slowly.

167
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:41,808
In that case,
shall I take their time as well?

168
00:14:42,801 --> 00:14:43,926
Okay, go.

169
00:14:44,683 --> 00:14:47,100
There is a new snack shop
after the college junction.

170
00:14:47,135 --> 00:14:48,218
You drive there.

171
00:14:57,218 --> 00:14:58,343
Thankan,

172
00:14:58,436 --> 00:15:00,061
isn't that your Kuttayi?

173
00:15:02,817 --> 00:15:06,442
[Indistinct arguments]

174
00:15:08,093 --> 00:15:09,843
-Hey!
-Don't touch me!

175
00:15:09,885 --> 00:15:11,635
-What will you do if I don't?
-You want to hit me?

176
00:15:11,676 --> 00:15:13,010
-Yes, I want to hit you.
-Will you hit me?

177
00:15:13,051 --> 00:15:13,801
Hey, Kuttayi!

178
00:15:13,832 --> 00:15:15,416
-I will hit you
-Who the hell are you?

179
00:15:15,510 --> 00:15:18,426
-Who are you, man?
-You are insane!

180
00:15:18,593 --> 00:15:21,718
Dare you write or draw
anything about her or me,

181
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,260
-I'll break your knees.
-Who told you it's about you?!

182
00:15:24,301 --> 00:15:25,926
Can't I draw a picture of my choice?

183
00:15:26,093 --> 00:15:27,385
You bloody artist!

184
00:15:27,551 --> 00:15:28,968
-Get lost, you!
- Go, go...

185
00:15:29,801 --> 00:15:31,218
You come here. Come!

186
00:15:33,135 --> 00:15:34,676
What are you up to, Kuttayi?

187
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,510
Why did you come here now,
Thankan uncle?

188
00:15:36,593 --> 00:15:38,885
Yeah, you should've seen it
if I didn't come here now.

189
00:15:39,843 --> 00:15:40,926
Listen...

190
00:15:41,051 --> 00:15:42,760
who is that girl you were talking about?

191
00:15:43,176 --> 00:15:44,510
She is a friend of mine.

192
00:15:45,635 --> 00:15:47,510
You go to that shop and eat something.

193
00:15:48,051 --> 00:15:49,718
I'll drop them off and come now.

194
00:15:49,801 --> 00:15:50,885
Go ahead.

195
00:15:54,135 --> 00:15:55,218
Get in.

196
00:16:04,593 --> 00:16:05,593
Look who's coming!

197
00:16:05,968 --> 00:16:07,426
Is that your brother?

198
00:16:07,551 --> 00:16:09,301
See who is coming?

199
00:16:09,593 --> 00:16:10,926
Is that your brother, dear?

200
00:16:11,218 --> 00:16:12,426
Let's go to brother?

201
00:16:12,718 --> 00:16:13,760
Come.

202
00:16:18,385 --> 00:16:19,676
Who is that?

203
00:16:20,051 --> 00:16:21,551
Here is your brother.

204
00:16:22,218 --> 00:16:23,343
Wow!

205
00:16:23,385 --> 00:16:24,801
When did you come, my little girl?

206
00:16:24,843 --> 00:16:26,385
-See your brother.
-Come.

207
00:16:28,526 --> 00:16:29,651
Go to your brother.

208
00:16:29,676 --> 00:16:31,301
Holy lord! Ugh!

209
00:16:33,510 --> 00:16:34,510
Come.

210
00:16:37,801 --> 00:16:38,885
Where is the key?

211
00:16:39,010 --> 00:16:40,093
Hey!

212
00:16:41,408 --> 00:16:44,116
Can't you come home
on the weekends, at least?

213
00:16:45,968 --> 00:16:47,676
Tell me when your husband is not there.

214
00:16:48,426 --> 00:16:49,468
I'll try.

215
00:16:55,510 --> 00:16:57,968
Come! Let me show you some fish. Okay?

216
00:17:02,635 --> 00:17:04,551
When is he going to understand me, brother?

217
00:17:05,266 --> 00:17:06,699
It's all because of his age.

218
00:17:07,051 --> 00:17:08,093
It will be alright.

219
00:17:08,385 --> 00:17:09,426
Come in.

220
00:17:14,260 --> 00:17:16,676
As a party worker

221
00:17:17,218 --> 00:17:20,760
and as a person in a responsible position,

222
00:17:21,301 --> 00:17:22,468
from the beginning itself,

223
00:17:22,510 --> 00:17:24,926
I have expressed my disagreements,

224
00:17:25,010 --> 00:17:27,718
regarding the decision on
choosing the candidate.

225
00:17:28,626 --> 00:17:30,496
Our party is getting confined to religion

226
00:17:31,108 --> 00:17:33,166
and the participation of the youth
is diminishing.

227
00:17:33,277 --> 00:17:35,628
Such serious and grave issues,

228
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,760
have been discussed
regarding declaring our candidate.

229
00:17:40,093 --> 00:17:41,135
But,

230
00:17:41,468 --> 00:17:45,426
considering the situation
our party is going through today,

231
00:17:45,801 --> 00:17:49,551
our party's existence is
one of the primary concerns.

232
00:17:50,801 --> 00:17:52,051
For the same reason,

233
00:17:52,176 --> 00:17:53,260
at any cost,

234
00:17:53,426 --> 00:17:55,093
securing the seat in ward 3

235
00:17:55,176 --> 00:17:59,260
is the very crucial goal of the party
at this moment.

236
00:17:59,926 --> 00:18:03,051
To talk about other things
regarding the election,

237
00:18:03,135 --> 00:18:04,885
Comrade Ravi is here.

238
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:06,543
Mr Ravi...

239
00:18:08,135 --> 00:18:10,093
As comrade Pradeep said,

240
00:18:11,135 --> 00:18:12,301
at no instance

241
00:18:12,593 --> 00:18:13,676
did our party face

242
00:18:13,968 --> 00:18:15,510
any sort of confusion.

243
00:18:15,635 --> 00:18:17,760
Though many here wouldn't know,

244
00:18:17,801 --> 00:18:20,760
our Mathews sir's father, Devassi sir,

245
00:18:20,801 --> 00:18:23,718
as he was reluctant to support
the injustice during the Emergency,

246
00:18:23,752 --> 00:18:26,793
he left his own party
and joined us back then.

247
00:18:27,135 --> 00:18:29,301
His arrival to our party led to

248
00:18:29,601 --> 00:18:32,018
many UDP members joining us.

249
00:18:32,496 --> 00:18:34,996
Everyone knows
Mathews sir's helpful attitude

250
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:38,151
who has served in
our service co-operative bank

251
00:18:38,176 --> 00:18:39,760
for more than two and half decades.

252
00:18:40,468 --> 00:18:43,801
So, we cannot have
a more deserving candidate than him.

253
00:18:44,093 --> 00:18:46,135
With all your permission,

254
00:18:46,218 --> 00:18:49,718
I invite Mathews sir,
CRP's independent candidate for ward 3,

255
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,676
to speak a few words.

256
00:18:51,968 --> 00:18:53,635
Mathews sir, a few words...

257
00:19:01,593 --> 00:19:03,301
Dear friends,

258
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,801
It was quite unexpectedly
and surprisingly that

259
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,706
this candidacy has come to me.

260
00:19:12,010 --> 00:19:13,510
Our Comrade just mentioned that

261
00:19:13,593 --> 00:19:15,754
they came to this decision after lots of

262
00:19:15,778 --> 00:19:18,135
discussions and disagreements.

263
00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:20,510
Hence,

264
00:19:20,968 --> 00:19:23,510
I'll have to live up to your expectations.

265
00:19:23,968 --> 00:19:25,510
And for that,

266
00:19:25,885 --> 00:19:27,801
I need to learn a lot.

267
00:19:28,635 --> 00:19:30,260
For that, and for my victory,

268
00:19:30,635 --> 00:19:34,510
I expect all your support.

269
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,010
And I accept this candidacy.

270
00:19:51,460 --> 00:19:53,751
The things about the election
seem to be almost decided.

271
00:19:54,675 --> 00:19:55,842
What do you think, Omana?

272
00:19:56,418 --> 00:19:57,668
Isn't it a good thing?

273
00:19:57,891 --> 00:20:00,266
Mathew will be a correct fit for that.

274
00:20:01,168 --> 00:20:02,335
Anyway,

275
00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:04,711
It is easier than taking all the risk

276
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:07,571
and helping people in the bank.

277
00:20:11,301 --> 00:20:12,926
She came and left so quickly.

278
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,010
Isn't she okay?

279
00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:16,718
What problem would she have?

280
00:20:16,801 --> 00:20:18,510
Some fest is happening in her college.

281
00:20:19,010 --> 00:20:20,385
That's why she left today itself.

282
00:20:49,093 --> 00:20:50,926
Tell Sherly to have a look and let me know

283
00:20:50,968 --> 00:20:52,760
if there is any correction, Shalu.

284
00:20:52,801 --> 00:20:53,885
Okay.

285
00:20:54,468 --> 00:20:56,718
How about this one,
another romantic action drama?

286
00:20:56,926 --> 00:20:58,593
This is slightly mild.

287
00:20:58,843 --> 00:20:59,843
Alright, then.

288
00:21:00,010 --> 00:21:01,260
Hi, Devassi uncle!

289
00:21:53,218 --> 00:21:55,593
We'll start the election works today.

290
00:21:57,108 --> 00:21:58,566
All the best for everything.

291
00:22:00,972 --> 00:22:02,222
-Mathew...
-Omana...

292
00:22:02,718 --> 00:22:04,593
Tell father about the election.

293
00:22:34,635 --> 00:22:36,635
Father, I have kept the breakfast here.

294
00:22:37,385 --> 00:22:38,468
Please have it.

295
00:22:47,093 --> 00:22:48,885
Father, I am leaving.

296
00:23:05,343 --> 00:23:07,426
You post that comment
I sent you on WhatsApp.

297
00:23:07,843 --> 00:23:10,343
Let me know when you get a reply.
I'll give you the rest then.

298
00:23:10,943 --> 00:23:11,985
Ravi brother...

299
00:23:12,010 --> 00:23:15,218
We'll have to campaign thoroughly
in that Ilavanpara area.

300
00:23:15,635 --> 00:23:18,385
The other party's involvement
is a bit too much in that area.

301
00:23:18,968 --> 00:23:20,176
And, look at me...

302
00:23:20,301 --> 00:23:22,010
Shall we organise a convention there?

303
00:23:22,051 --> 00:23:23,051
Yes.

304
00:23:23,176 --> 00:23:25,260
Then, let's arrange
some Tapioca Biriyani too.

305
00:23:25,343 --> 00:23:27,010
Let the program be a bit more splendid.

306
00:23:27,301 --> 00:23:29,010
Sir, about our matter in the church...

307
00:23:29,135 --> 00:23:30,760
Can you please talk to the priest, sir?

308
00:23:30,926 --> 00:23:32,135
Is that really needed?

309
00:23:32,593 --> 00:23:35,176
We'll have to win somehow, sir.

310
00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:37,760
And also, sir, here...

311
00:23:37,801 --> 00:23:39,801
please cross-check these details.

312
00:23:39,863 --> 00:23:42,530
Otherwise, it will be unnecessary tension
during the nomination.

313
00:23:43,218 --> 00:23:44,468
You have a look, sir.

314
00:23:48,426 --> 00:23:50,551
Ravi brother, please come here.

315
00:23:51,801 --> 00:23:53,010
I'll be back, sir.

316
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:09,301
I got to know from Advocate Dileep.

317
00:24:09,718 --> 00:24:11,343
It was filed a while ago.

318
00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:13,968
This will cause us trouble, Comrade.

319
00:24:14,514 --> 00:24:16,978
The election and nomination dates
will be declared in no time.

320
00:24:17,049 --> 00:24:18,590
And such a nasty case is popping up!

321
00:24:21,885 --> 00:24:23,343
Don't get tensed.

322
00:24:52,093 --> 00:24:53,260
What's wrong, dear?

323
00:24:57,801 --> 00:24:59,593
Did you fight with those boys again?

324
00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:05,301
Kuttayi!

325
00:25:07,176 --> 00:25:09,260
What is your business with Mathews sir?

326
00:25:09,801 --> 00:25:10,968
Huh?!

327
00:25:15,593 --> 00:25:17,593
I won't get peace of mind anywhere.

328
00:25:39,968 --> 00:25:42,885
If you both have any conflict,
talk and settle it inside the house!

329
00:25:44,185 --> 00:25:46,393
I know my brother-in-law, Mathew
very well.

330
00:25:47,851 --> 00:25:50,143
Would you dare do this
if our father was alive?

331
00:25:53,619 --> 00:25:55,702
Such trivial issues are normal
in family life.

332
00:25:55,780 --> 00:25:57,780
What do you think,
Sheela and I have no issues?

333
00:25:58,935 --> 00:26:00,143
So what?

334
00:26:00,976 --> 00:26:03,685
Also, what are you gonna do
after getting a divorce at this age?

335
00:26:03,726 --> 00:26:05,143
Any plans for second marriage?

336
00:26:07,726 --> 00:26:10,060
What a scandal, my Lord!

337
00:26:10,185 --> 00:26:11,560
Involving some random man!

338
00:26:12,685 --> 00:26:14,393
A spoonful of sugar is enough, right?

339
00:26:19,143 --> 00:26:20,393
If things go astray like this,

340
00:26:20,435 --> 00:26:22,976
no groom from a good family
would agree to marry our Femi.

341
00:26:23,143 --> 00:26:25,143
Isn't that a silly argument, brother?

342
00:26:25,851 --> 00:26:28,393
Can you call a family 'good' or 'bad'?

343
00:26:29,685 --> 00:26:31,370
You have gone nuts after typing

344
00:26:31,395 --> 00:26:33,602
all those stupid books and philosophies.

345
00:28:23,312 --> 00:28:25,229
O virgin of virgins,

346
00:28:25,268 --> 00:28:26,476
O merciful mother,

347
00:28:26,518 --> 00:28:28,560
Inspired by this confidence,

348
00:28:28,643 --> 00:28:30,601
I fly unto thee,

349
00:28:30,726 --> 00:28:32,435
to thee I come,

350
00:28:32,518 --> 00:28:33,851
sinful and sorrowful,

351
00:28:34,185 --> 00:28:36,601
for thy mercy,

352
00:28:36,810 --> 00:28:38,518
before thee I stand.

353
00:28:38,810 --> 00:28:40,976
O mother of the Word Incarnate,

354
00:28:41,268 --> 00:28:43,226
despite not my petitions,

355
00:28:43,810 --> 00:28:45,893
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

356
00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:49,143
Amen.

357
00:28:53,143 --> 00:28:54,476
Praise be to Jesus.

358
00:28:54,810 --> 00:28:57,018
Praise be to Jesus.

359
00:28:58,018 --> 00:29:00,143
Brother, have dinner and go.

360
00:29:00,768 --> 00:29:01,935
Nah, I'm good.

361
00:29:33,458 --> 00:29:35,083
Father, what the hell is going on there?

362
00:29:35,935 --> 00:29:38,560
What's the matter with Omana,
that too at this age?

363
00:29:38,968 --> 00:29:41,310
Tell her to consult a doctor
if she has gone crazy!

364
00:29:41,335 --> 00:29:42,460
Damn!

365
00:29:43,186 --> 00:29:46,645
Because of this, we can't even attend
church for the Sunday mass!

366
00:29:47,026 --> 00:29:50,484
Joy was gradually getting active
in the Malayalee association here.

367
00:29:50,839 --> 00:29:53,297
Now, how will we face them all, father?!

368
00:30:24,252 --> 00:30:27,918
People with minimum manners
would say things to your face!

369
00:30:30,752 --> 00:30:32,784
We have been together for a while,
right, Omana?

370
00:30:32,817 --> 00:30:35,092
If you have anything to say
you could just tell me...

371
00:30:36,926 --> 00:30:39,426
Do you realise the seriousness
of your acts?!

372
00:30:40,135 --> 00:30:42,010
Or are you thinking
of withdrawing the case,

373
00:30:42,112 --> 00:30:43,945
after two days when you change your mind?

374
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,801
Leave all that.

375
00:30:51,051 --> 00:30:53,760
I agreed to run in the election
after consulting with you, Omana.

376
00:30:54,676 --> 00:30:55,676
And now...

377
00:30:57,260 --> 00:30:58,718
I didn't do it intentionally

378
00:30:58,926 --> 00:31:00,801
after knowing about the elections, Mathew.

379
00:31:00,885 --> 00:31:03,301
I filed the petition two months ago.

380
00:31:03,801 --> 00:31:04,968
Back then...

381
00:31:05,635 --> 00:31:07,135
I couldn't say it.

382
00:31:08,301 --> 00:31:09,510
That is the truth.

383
00:31:27,338 --> 00:31:30,338
We cannot beat around the bush
anymore, comrade.

384
00:31:30,824 --> 00:31:32,616
The matter is very serious.

385
00:31:33,585 --> 00:31:34,918
Just wait for a couple of days.

386
00:31:35,001 --> 00:31:36,960
Then, the folks will start trolling us
on social media.

387
00:31:37,001 --> 00:31:39,668
Isn't this his personal matter, Pradeep?

388
00:31:40,122 --> 00:31:42,663
Comrade, it is such filthy personal affairs

389
00:31:42,688 --> 00:31:44,688
that topple even the ministry nowadays.

390
00:31:45,835 --> 00:31:47,626
Nothing is possible without a clean image.

391
00:31:47,668 --> 00:31:48,835
Don't you know that, comrade?

392
00:31:48,918 --> 00:31:51,876
Besides, no one from
a pious Christian family will vote for us.

393
00:31:56,585 --> 00:31:57,918
Mathew sir, please sit.

394
00:31:58,918 --> 00:32:01,501
My wife did it because of
some issues at home.

395
00:32:02,668 --> 00:32:04,085
Her lawyer...

396
00:32:04,418 --> 00:32:07,335
I think, her lawyer prompted her
to do such a blunder.

397
00:32:08,126 --> 00:32:09,418
But I know.

398
00:32:10,001 --> 00:32:11,543
Whatever we say...

399
00:32:12,001 --> 00:32:14,168
Me being a candidate is
no longer safe for the party.

400
00:32:15,543 --> 00:32:18,335
As we haven't filed the nomination yet,
I will back off, Ravi brother.

401
00:32:18,376 --> 00:32:19,418
It's alright.

402
00:32:19,876 --> 00:32:22,001
I wasn't very comfortable with this,
anyway.

403
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,001
I agreed to it only because
all of you insisted on me.

404
00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:27,793
Mathew sir,

405
00:32:28,001 --> 00:32:30,835
I got in touch with
the district committee yesterday.

406
00:32:31,418 --> 00:32:35,543
Their suggest to not make
any changes to the existing candidacy.

407
00:32:36,293 --> 00:32:37,793
They don't care if we lose the seat.

408
00:32:37,835 --> 00:32:39,751
But they want only you to contest.

409
00:32:41,210 --> 00:32:42,585
I didn't understand.

410
00:32:42,710 --> 00:32:44,585
It's a statement, sir.

411
00:32:44,889 --> 00:32:46,889
Our ideology is such that

412
00:32:47,001 --> 00:32:49,918
we respect the integrity and identity
of an individual.

413
00:32:50,835 --> 00:32:51,918
So...

414
00:32:52,626 --> 00:32:55,460
for the first time in Kerala,
a candidate like this...

415
00:32:56,585 --> 00:32:57,793
A candidate like what?!

416
00:32:58,085 --> 00:32:59,126
Mathew sir,

417
00:32:59,168 --> 00:33:01,335
just sign that nomination.

418
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:03,543
The party will plan the rest.

419
00:33:03,918 --> 00:33:06,751
Also, join us once in a while
for house visit campaigns.

420
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,168
We all are with you, sir.

421
00:33:50,335 --> 00:33:52,585
Will he run in the election now?

422
00:34:01,389 --> 00:34:03,597
Could you please get in the car
if you are done eating?

423
00:34:04,918 --> 00:34:07,251
Thankan, wanna have some snacks?

424
00:34:23,293 --> 00:34:24,626
How's it?
Is it okay?

425
00:34:25,001 --> 00:34:26,251
Yeah, okay.

426
00:34:26,751 --> 00:34:29,126
We could have won this seat easily.

427
00:34:29,501 --> 00:34:31,001
There's no point ranting over it now.

428
00:34:31,085 --> 00:34:32,418
Come, let's go.

429
00:34:36,617 --> 00:34:40,626
'THEEKKOYI GRAM PANCHAYAT ELECTIONS:
WARD 3'

430
00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:48,460
'VOTE FOR THE INDEPENDENT LEFTIST CANDIDATE
MR MATHEW DEVASSY'

431
00:35:00,210 --> 00:35:02,001
Eliyamma aunt, how are you?

432
00:35:02,126 --> 00:35:03,668
You know that
I am running for the elections, right?

433
00:35:03,710 --> 00:35:05,126
I'll be coming to your home soon.

434
00:35:06,613 --> 00:35:08,488
What is it, brother?
Didn't you go for rubber tapping today?

435
00:35:08,543 --> 00:35:10,668
Nowadays, tapping is possible
only on alternative days.

436
00:35:10,707 --> 00:35:12,624
So, you started with the house visits?

437
00:35:13,085 --> 00:35:14,376
Not full-fledged...

438
00:35:14,418 --> 00:35:16,876
We are just visiting
the houses of our close ones.

439
00:35:17,876 --> 00:35:19,846
Hey boy, go ask your mom

440
00:35:19,870 --> 00:35:22,001
to get me some hot water.

441
00:35:24,626 --> 00:35:28,918
I sent him inside so that
he doesn't listen to our discussion.

442
00:35:29,126 --> 00:35:31,210
What is the matter that
our kid shouldn't listen to?

443
00:35:31,376 --> 00:35:33,001
Our Mathew sir's issue.

444
00:35:33,085 --> 00:35:34,585
What about him?

445
00:35:34,776 --> 00:35:35,810
Well, Chandran,

446
00:35:35,835 --> 00:35:40,418
CRP is trying to play the progressive card
by making him the candidate.

447
00:35:40,501 --> 00:35:43,668
What influence will this
create on our kids?

448
00:35:43,876 --> 00:35:47,147
Nowadays, kids get spoiled
the moment they cross the district border.

449
00:35:47,276 --> 00:35:48,487
You may even vote for NOTA,

450
00:35:48,550 --> 00:35:50,398
but never let that man win.

451
00:35:50,545 --> 00:35:53,711
Can you imagine the situation of our land
if he becomes the Panchayath member?

452
00:35:53,736 --> 00:35:55,694
Argh! The situation of our land!

453
00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:57,285
What situation?!

454
00:35:57,585 --> 00:35:58,960
That's his personal matter.

455
00:35:59,501 --> 00:36:02,335
How long has it been since I complained
to you about our bridge?

456
00:36:02,585 --> 00:36:04,418
I told you about the same bridge

457
00:36:04,501 --> 00:36:06,418
when you came here
for the campaign last time.

458
00:36:06,460 --> 00:36:08,710
Ever since, nobody has cared
to look into this side.

459
00:36:09,001 --> 00:36:11,501
So, we have already decided
whom to vote for this time.

460
00:36:11,793 --> 00:36:12,918
Anyway, please sit.

461
00:36:13,001 --> 00:36:14,251
Have some water and go.

462
00:36:25,543 --> 00:36:26,668
Mathew sir.

463
00:36:27,918 --> 00:36:31,126
Please show a bit more confidence
when we campaign at the houses, sir.

464
00:36:31,496 --> 00:36:32,621
People must get the notion

465
00:36:32,668 --> 00:36:35,001
that these issues
haven't affected us at all.

466
00:36:36,585 --> 00:36:37,751
I just told you.

467
00:36:37,918 --> 00:36:39,376
You relax a bit now.

468
00:36:40,001 --> 00:36:43,376
Do you think anybody who knows you
would believe this?

469
00:36:45,793 --> 00:36:48,376
I don't understand
what was in Omana chechi's mind.

470
00:36:49,001 --> 00:36:50,418
Is Femi aware of this?

471
00:36:52,006 --> 00:36:53,740
She might know by now

472
00:37:28,168 --> 00:37:29,918
Why did you come without calling me, dad?

473
00:37:30,085 --> 00:37:31,876
I had some work nearby.

474
00:37:32,001 --> 00:37:34,001
So, thought of dropping in on you.

475
00:37:34,835 --> 00:37:36,376
Is your college fest almost over?

476
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,876
No, it's going on.
The preparations are on.

477
00:37:41,626 --> 00:37:43,376
You know the happenings there,
don't you?

478
00:37:44,793 --> 00:37:47,501
It's just a matter of time
before it all gets over.

479
00:37:48,626 --> 00:37:51,001
I came here to tell you
not to worry about it.

480
00:37:52,876 --> 00:37:54,626
It'll all be over in a couple of days.

481
00:37:55,793 --> 00:37:57,918
I don't know what's in your mom's head.

482
00:37:58,052 --> 00:37:59,760
She isn't opening up as well.

483
00:38:01,085 --> 00:38:02,501
If I could know the issue...

484
00:38:02,876 --> 00:38:04,543
-I could... somehow...
-Dad...

485
00:38:05,501 --> 00:38:06,585
Don't.

486
00:38:06,793 --> 00:38:08,376
I don't like it when my dad lies.

487
00:38:10,335 --> 00:38:12,214
Mom had told me everything

488
00:38:12,238 --> 00:38:13,918
before filing the petition.

489
00:38:15,168 --> 00:38:16,376
And about this case,

490
00:38:16,418 --> 00:38:18,418
I am not at all mad at you.

491
00:38:20,501 --> 00:38:23,085
I didn't speak to you
when I came home last time,

492
00:38:23,626 --> 00:38:24,835
not because I was angry.

493
00:38:25,710 --> 00:38:27,186
It was because I was sad.

494
00:38:29,668 --> 00:38:30,668
You be here, dad.

495
00:38:30,835 --> 00:38:32,126
Let me finish the game and come.

496
00:39:18,501 --> 00:39:19,501
Hey, Thankan.

497
00:39:19,543 --> 00:39:20,751
Let the boy ride the bike.

498
00:39:20,835 --> 00:39:23,210
And you sit at the back.
That will be convenient for you.

499
00:39:24,585 --> 00:39:25,876
You leave, Thankan uncle.

500
00:39:26,418 --> 00:39:27,418
I'll go by myself.

501
00:39:30,543 --> 00:39:31,710
Kuttayi.

502
00:40:12,626 --> 00:40:13,626
Just a minute.

503
00:40:17,085 --> 00:40:18,793
Tell me, what should I do with this?

504
00:40:20,835 --> 00:40:22,085
What do you want me to do?

505
00:40:23,293 --> 00:40:25,585
Should I go to court
and fight the case against you?

506
00:40:27,043 --> 00:40:31,293
If you think the things
mentioned in that letter are wrong,

507
00:40:32,126 --> 00:40:33,210
you should fight, Mathew.

508
00:40:34,376 --> 00:40:35,418
Alright.

509
00:40:36,210 --> 00:40:37,293
Omana...

510
00:40:37,751 --> 00:40:39,335
Once in a while, at least,

511
00:40:39,793 --> 00:40:41,501
try to understand my situation.

512
00:40:42,543 --> 00:40:43,918
The election is around the corner.

513
00:40:44,043 --> 00:40:45,543
And I can't even go out.

514
00:40:46,793 --> 00:40:48,001
My situation...

515
00:40:48,418 --> 00:40:50,043
is even worse, Mathew.

516
00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:09,876
It's not like that, sir.

517
00:41:10,001 --> 00:41:11,501
The main issue here is that

518
00:41:11,543 --> 00:41:13,293
if we don't make a move
against her now,

519
00:41:13,335 --> 00:41:15,335
people will think
that Omana is telling the truth.

520
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:16,693
We are just clarifying our side.

521
00:41:16,718 --> 00:41:17,843
That's all.

522
00:41:18,251 --> 00:41:19,876
You don't have to be anxious, sir.

523
00:41:19,918 --> 00:41:21,126
This lawyer is excellent.

524
00:41:21,168 --> 00:41:23,626
She has appeared for the party
in many cases and won.

525
00:41:23,835 --> 00:41:25,751
We'll win both this case and the election.

526
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,043
Come, sir.

527
00:41:33,001 --> 00:41:34,710
Ameera madam is the opposite lawyer,
right?

528
00:41:34,751 --> 00:41:35,918
Yes.

529
00:41:36,418 --> 00:41:39,418
There is nothing for you
to be anxious in this, sir.

530
00:41:40,168 --> 00:41:41,168
Didn't I tell you?

531
00:41:41,210 --> 00:41:43,876
I just told him that
our lawyer is terrific in her field!

532
00:41:43,918 --> 00:41:45,626
It's not because I am terrific and all.

533
00:41:45,668 --> 00:41:48,960
The allegations and grounds
they filed aren't strong enough.

534
00:41:50,043 --> 00:41:52,251
But they have mentioned
charges like 'cruelty' in it.

535
00:41:52,585 --> 00:41:54,168
Don't worry about that.

536
00:41:54,251 --> 00:41:57,418
Usually when it comes to
an extra marital affair case,

537
00:41:57,460 --> 00:41:59,960
we mention 'adultery' as the grounds.

538
00:42:00,126 --> 00:42:02,835
Perhaps, because it is not
with the opposite sex in this case,

539
00:42:02,876 --> 00:42:04,501
they mentioned 'cruelty.'

540
00:42:04,835 --> 00:42:07,793
Which means that
denying your wife's physical needs

541
00:42:07,835 --> 00:42:11,335
is what they have mentioned as
'cruelty' here.

542
00:42:11,710 --> 00:42:14,293
Actually, these are slightly grey areas.

543
00:42:14,376 --> 00:42:17,501
There are not many cases or laws
for us to refer to.

544
00:42:17,969 --> 00:42:20,178
And they haven't included
other complications such as

545
00:42:20,210 --> 00:42:22,751
domestic violence or anything of
that sort in this.

546
00:42:23,085 --> 00:42:25,210
Your wife is not asking
for compensation, either.

547
00:42:25,710 --> 00:42:27,918
Usually, when Ameera madam
is in charge of such a case,

548
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,501
she would include all possible allegations
in the petition.

549
00:42:31,803 --> 00:42:34,094
But here, all she can do is
just argue for its namesake.

550
00:42:34,126 --> 00:42:38,293
As long as we don't accept the allegations,
this will go on forever.

551
00:42:38,585 --> 00:42:40,876
But madam,
there is a small problem.

552
00:42:41,126 --> 00:42:43,710
Sir is contesting for the by-election
in our town.

553
00:42:43,793 --> 00:42:46,835
So, it would be great if we could
settle this as early as possible

554
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,043
See, resolving cases in family courts
would take lots of time.

555
00:42:50,210 --> 00:42:51,793
It is a time-consuming process.

556
00:42:52,168 --> 00:42:54,418
Something that we can do is,

557
00:42:54,460 --> 00:42:58,293
we can try applying for a speedy disposal
at the High Court.

558
00:42:59,970 --> 00:43:01,137
If that's the case,

559
00:43:01,168 --> 00:43:02,293
let's go for that.

560
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,001
If you are confident enough,
let's move forward like that.

561
00:43:07,085 --> 00:43:08,710
And these allegations...

562
00:43:08,835 --> 00:43:10,043
none of them is true, right?

563
00:43:10,168 --> 00:43:11,876
So, even if they

564
00:43:12,085 --> 00:43:15,001
argue so much at the court and
cook-up whatever stories,

565
00:43:15,043 --> 00:43:17,418
we can easily counter them all.

566
00:43:17,835 --> 00:43:20,626
Let's try to apply it
mentioning the election as a reason.

567
00:43:20,835 --> 00:43:23,876
But don't expect a verdict
within the time you expect.

568
00:43:24,210 --> 00:43:25,835
That's not really important, madam.

569
00:43:25,876 --> 00:43:28,710
There are many hands behind this
as the election is around the corner.

570
00:43:28,876 --> 00:43:33,210
People should believe that he is innocent
and the case is in his favour.

571
00:43:33,751 --> 00:43:35,710
But, whatever the issues may be,

572
00:43:35,751 --> 00:43:39,710
it is somewhat rare to present
such a reason in the petition.

573
00:43:39,835 --> 00:43:41,126
That's why I asked you.

574
00:43:41,210 --> 00:43:42,543
Please don't mind, sir.

575
00:43:42,710 --> 00:43:46,168
Does your wife have any love affair
with someone else or...

576
00:43:46,210 --> 00:43:47,210
anything like that?

577
00:43:47,293 --> 00:43:48,376
No way.

578
00:43:49,710 --> 00:43:50,960
Okay, leave it.

579
00:43:51,126 --> 00:43:53,335
And Mr Thankan, who is mentioned in this,

580
00:43:53,418 --> 00:43:56,460
you both share quite a close bond,
don't you?

581
00:43:57,418 --> 00:43:58,585
Nothing like that.

582
00:43:58,626 --> 00:44:00,876
We are just acquaintances. That's all.

583
00:44:01,001 --> 00:44:02,085
Okay.

584
00:44:03,293 --> 00:44:04,293
I...

585
00:44:04,335 --> 00:44:05,793
need to ask you one more thing.

586
00:44:05,835 --> 00:44:07,643
How is your relationship with your wife?

587
00:44:07,667 --> 00:44:08,960
Is it going okay?

588
00:44:09,001 --> 00:44:10,668
It's all okay, madam.

589
00:44:10,710 --> 00:44:11,710
There is no problem.

590
00:44:11,835 --> 00:44:13,126
I am asking him.

591
00:44:13,210 --> 00:44:14,210
Who are you?

592
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:15,835
I am... Sibin Teekoy.

593
00:44:16,001 --> 00:44:17,293
I am a party worker.

594
00:44:18,793 --> 00:44:20,210
Tell me, sir.

595
00:44:22,210 --> 00:44:23,948
It would be right to say that

596
00:44:23,972 --> 00:44:26,168
there are no issues between us.

597
00:44:27,001 --> 00:44:28,543
I am the kind of person...

598
00:44:29,053 --> 00:44:31,053
who doesn't speak much to anybody.

599
00:44:31,876 --> 00:44:34,251
Besides, we've been married
for almost 20 years.

600
00:44:35,085 --> 00:44:37,918
What more is left to talk about now?!

601
00:44:40,210 --> 00:44:41,376
I...

602
00:44:41,793 --> 00:44:43,376
don't want to get separated from Omana.

603
00:44:44,876 --> 00:44:46,043
You stay strong, sir.

604
00:44:46,168 --> 00:44:47,210
We'll try.

605
00:44:47,793 --> 00:44:50,751
And I need to talk to you in detail once.

606
00:45:03,001 --> 00:45:06,751
OP 47/19. Petitioner: Omana Philip.
Respondent: Mathew Devassy.

607
00:45:09,751 --> 00:45:11,460
Appearing for the petitioner, your honour.

608
00:45:11,501 --> 00:45:13,335
I am appearing for the respondent.

609
00:45:13,835 --> 00:45:15,710
-Isn't this the first posting?
-Yes.

610
00:45:18,835 --> 00:45:20,001
For report.

611
00:45:22,376 --> 00:45:24,543
16/10 -
You should attend the counselling.

612
00:45:52,835 --> 00:45:55,001
You must be here for the counselling,
aren't you?

613
00:45:56,626 --> 00:45:58,835
You seem pretty naive, sir.

614
00:46:01,460 --> 00:46:03,626
Some women are very sly, sir.

615
00:46:04,001 --> 00:46:05,585
If she wants to leave, let her!

616
00:46:06,001 --> 00:46:07,710
Why are you worrying?

617
00:46:07,918 --> 00:46:09,543
You are quite handsome.

618
00:46:10,001 --> 00:46:11,876
And you look young too.

619
00:46:14,001 --> 00:46:15,335
Sir, I have...

620
00:46:15,668 --> 00:46:17,501
an American girl.

621
00:46:18,460 --> 00:46:21,210
Her first husband
was a bit of a nut case.

622
00:46:21,585 --> 00:46:24,210
So nothing 'marital' has happened
between them so far.

623
00:46:25,751 --> 00:46:27,085
Have a look, sir.

624
00:46:27,168 --> 00:46:28,543
She will be a good match for you.

625
00:46:28,589 --> 00:46:30,339
She belongs to an affluent family.

626
00:46:30,668 --> 00:46:32,168
Shall we proceed with this?

627
00:46:35,043 --> 00:46:36,960
Mathew, they are calling.

628
00:46:42,210 --> 00:46:43,710
Ugh, what an arrogant man!

629
00:46:43,793 --> 00:46:45,085
That girl got lucky.

630
00:46:45,168 --> 00:46:46,168
That's all.

631
00:46:51,168 --> 00:46:53,418
Are you interested in a mutual petition,
Mathew?

632
00:46:56,335 --> 00:46:59,793
These procedures are really
time-consuming, Mathew.

633
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:03,210
Besides, having more sessions is
not worth it anymore.

634
00:47:03,710 --> 00:47:04,999
And as Mathew said,

635
00:47:05,054 --> 00:47:08,062
I don't think
it's a case of misunderstanding.

636
00:47:08,418 --> 00:47:11,793
Anyway, I can only refer for
'No chance for reunion'.

637
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,626
Alright, then. Anything more?

638
00:47:15,543 --> 00:47:16,543
Madam...

639
00:47:17,203 --> 00:47:18,412
What is this, Mathew?

640
00:47:18,460 --> 00:47:21,126
I gave you so much time to open up.

641
00:47:21,251 --> 00:47:23,543
You didn't talk to me sincerely.

642
00:47:23,793 --> 00:47:26,668
Moreover, Omana is very strong
in her stance.

643
00:47:26,918 --> 00:47:30,126
She's so clear that
I don't even need to give her more clarity.

644
00:47:30,585 --> 00:47:31,835
I am helpless.

645
00:48:14,168 --> 00:48:15,168
See,

646
00:48:16,126 --> 00:48:17,960
once this case is over,

647
00:48:18,376 --> 00:48:21,001
they will wash off their hands and
live their life.

648
00:48:21,876 --> 00:48:23,168
You are the one going to suffer.

649
00:48:24,751 --> 00:48:28,668
Mathew's father has made enough wealth
for him to live the life of Riley.

650
00:48:30,293 --> 00:48:31,710
But your situation is different.

651
00:48:34,418 --> 00:48:35,807
Above that, you have taken

652
00:48:35,831 --> 00:48:37,702
the boy's responsibility
also on your shoulder.

653
00:48:43,126 --> 00:48:44,418
And one more thing.

654
00:48:46,085 --> 00:48:47,710
Since you are accused of this now,

655
00:48:48,126 --> 00:48:49,870
not a soul will be by your side

656
00:48:49,894 --> 00:48:51,710
if you need any help in future.

657
00:48:57,376 --> 00:48:58,376
And,

658
00:48:59,085 --> 00:49:01,126
if any of this is true, tell me that.

659
00:49:17,118 --> 00:49:18,702
Dear folks,

660
00:49:19,501 --> 00:49:24,376
We know that some strange things
we are unfamiliar with

661
00:49:24,460 --> 00:49:28,585
are happening around us
as part of the upcoming by-election.

662
00:49:28,876 --> 00:49:31,251
CRP, the ruling party of our state,

663
00:49:31,460 --> 00:49:35,876
has chosen a man well-known to us
as their independent candidate.

664
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,418
But a huge secret regarding his life...

665
00:49:39,465 --> 00:49:43,423
we were shocked to know about it recently.

666
00:49:44,001 --> 00:49:46,168
But it is quite unfortunate that,

667
00:49:46,251 --> 00:49:48,501
as we can see,
a degenerate political party like CRP

668
00:49:48,710 --> 00:49:50,668
is trying to politicize that issue

669
00:49:50,793 --> 00:49:54,001
and using it as an election tool.

670
00:49:54,085 --> 00:49:56,293
My dear CRP leaders,

671
00:49:56,460 --> 00:49:58,168
allow me to ask you something.

672
00:49:58,210 --> 00:50:02,251
This issue regarding your candidate
Mr Mathew Devassy,

673
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,710
instead of seeing it as
a mere election tool,

674
00:50:04,793 --> 00:50:08,960
shouldn't you accept it wholly
and stand by him?

675
00:50:09,126 --> 00:50:10,376
Whatever it be,

676
00:50:10,418 --> 00:50:13,043
giving him all human considerations

677
00:50:13,168 --> 00:50:15,418
and respecting all his emotions,

678
00:50:15,501 --> 00:50:19,835
our party is willing to consider him
as just another opposition candidate.

679
00:50:20,001 --> 00:50:24,126
I take this opportunity
to make that very clear.

680
00:50:24,418 --> 00:50:25,460
On the other hand,

681
00:50:25,501 --> 00:50:30,418
suppose you aim to boost your party's image
even at the national level,

682
00:50:30,585 --> 00:50:35,251
by presenting this issue
as a post-modern solution,

683
00:50:35,501 --> 00:50:36,710
My dear CRP workers...

684
00:50:37,715 --> 00:50:39,757
in that case,
your petty tricks will not work here.

685
00:50:39,782 --> 00:50:43,865
Not only that, in this upcoming
by-election, our thousands of voters...

686
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,335
their verdict will prove whom they support
and whose side they are at.

687
00:50:47,501 --> 00:50:50,085
Our candidate, Mr Augustine Velumkal,

688
00:50:50,168 --> 00:50:51,960
is a well-known--

689
00:51:14,335 --> 00:51:17,876
Sibin, their program got ruined
because of the rain.

690
00:51:18,251 --> 00:51:19,418
Will our program happen?

691
00:51:19,793 --> 00:51:22,043
-We shall wait.
-My vote is for Mathew sir.

692
00:51:22,085 --> 00:51:23,376
Oh, yes. Take this.

693
00:51:23,710 --> 00:51:24,751
Here.

694
00:51:27,168 --> 00:51:29,751
-Brother, see you later then.
-Okay. Sure.

695
00:51:30,335 --> 00:51:31,376
Is he our guy?

696
00:51:31,418 --> 00:51:33,876
He is an old party worker,
not very active now.

697
00:51:35,460 --> 00:51:36,501
Mathew sir.

698
00:51:45,501 --> 00:51:46,710
Your vote is for us, isn't it?

699
00:53:31,293 --> 00:53:34,585
'VOTE FOR MATHEW DEVASSY'

700
00:53:39,902 --> 00:53:43,473
VOTE FOR THE INDEPENDENT LEFTIST CANDIDATE
MR MATHEW DEVASSY'

701
00:54:28,635 --> 00:54:32,301
IA 276/2019 in OP number 47/19.

702
00:54:32,426 --> 00:54:34,801
Petitioner: Omana Philip.
Respondent: Mathew Devassy.

703
00:54:42,468 --> 00:54:44,510
Copy has already been served, your honour.

704
00:54:45,343 --> 00:54:47,093
Why are you advancing it now?

705
00:54:47,301 --> 00:54:50,885
Your honour, the respondent has approached
the High Court for speedy disposal.

706
00:54:53,093 --> 00:54:55,176
Don't you know about the pendency here?

707
00:54:55,301 --> 00:54:57,510
How will I conclude this case
in just three months?

708
00:54:57,635 --> 00:54:59,010
The pleadings are over.

709
00:54:59,093 --> 00:55:00,510
There are no other witnesses.

710
00:55:00,593 --> 00:55:01,926
Only parties, your honour.

711
00:55:02,301 --> 00:55:04,426
Well, what's the hurry about?

712
00:55:05,343 --> 00:55:08,551
Your honour, the respondent
is contesting for ward by-election.

713
00:55:08,635 --> 00:55:11,051
So, if you could at least
finish off with the evidence...

714
00:55:11,468 --> 00:55:12,801
Who, this Mathew?

715
00:55:13,051 --> 00:55:14,176
Yes, your honour.

716
00:55:14,585 --> 00:55:15,589
What do I care?

717
00:55:15,613 --> 00:55:17,293
We can list it for next week itself.

718
00:55:17,718 --> 00:55:21,676
Don't ask me later to change the date
citing petty reasons.

719
00:55:21,968 --> 00:55:24,718
-Any convenient date, your honour.
-Do you have any problem with it?

720
00:55:25,218 --> 00:55:26,218
No, your honour.

721
00:55:35,301 --> 00:55:37,010
Let's schedule it for 18/05.

722
00:55:48,209 --> 00:55:49,919
OP number 48/19

723
00:55:49,944 --> 00:55:52,287
Petitioner: Gauri Santhosh.
Respondent: Abhilash Kumar S.

724
00:56:11,343 --> 00:56:14,385
-Benny, I have kept the money here.
-Okay, brother.

725
00:56:21,176 --> 00:56:22,635
Five peanut candies, please.

726
00:56:23,593 --> 00:56:25,593
Thankan bro, give him
five peanut candies.

727
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:56,801
Benny.

728
00:56:57,093 --> 00:56:58,551
-I'm off.
-Okay.

729
00:57:05,260 --> 00:57:06,385
My dear father,

730
00:57:06,593 --> 00:57:09,260
Aren't they both approaching an age
where they need a companion?

731
00:57:09,877 --> 00:57:11,922
Who do they think
will look after them in old age?

732
00:57:11,947 --> 00:57:13,405
Shouldn't that be considered too?

733
00:57:14,301 --> 00:57:15,301
Do you know, father?

734
00:57:15,343 --> 00:57:18,593
Because of all these, our Mother has been
having chest pain for the past few days.

735
00:57:18,635 --> 00:57:20,426
She has already suffered two heart attacks.

736
00:57:20,593 --> 00:57:21,968
She doesn't care about all this.

737
00:57:22,926 --> 00:57:25,051
Why this unnecessary ranting, brother?

738
00:57:25,376 --> 00:57:28,626
Father, I had discussed it with Mom
before filing the petition.

739
00:57:30,135 --> 00:57:33,051
Whatever it is,
among the believers in the parish,

740
00:57:33,252 --> 00:57:34,793
it has become a talk.

741
00:57:35,218 --> 00:57:38,135
The church committee wants to
expel Mathew from the parish.

742
00:57:38,176 --> 00:57:40,051
There were discussions about that.

743
00:57:40,260 --> 00:57:43,051
When did that meeting and discussion
happen without my knowledge?

744
00:57:44,135 --> 00:57:47,510
Isn't it better that we discuss about
expelling or accepting later?

745
00:57:47,635 --> 00:57:49,718
Father, I just mentioned
what happened there.

746
00:57:50,885 --> 00:57:52,093
Omana chechi.

747
00:57:52,635 --> 00:57:54,135
This is your family issue.

748
00:57:55,510 --> 00:57:57,042
The church doesn't have to

749
00:57:57,066 --> 00:57:58,678
get involved in this beyond a limit.

750
00:57:59,468 --> 00:58:03,260
We are trying to help out
because Tommy insisted

751
00:58:03,426 --> 00:58:06,968
and also your family is very close to us.

752
00:58:08,468 --> 00:58:11,218
I met Mathew the other day.

753
00:58:12,426 --> 00:58:15,093
He is actually ready for a compromise.

754
00:58:15,676 --> 00:58:17,510
He doesn't have any problem with that.

755
00:58:18,676 --> 00:58:21,176
So, if you too are willing, we can...

756
00:58:23,426 --> 00:58:26,510
Without knowing your response about this,

757
00:58:26,593 --> 00:58:29,468
there's no point in
discussing this further, I guess.

758
00:58:30,968 --> 00:58:31,968
Father,

759
00:58:32,093 --> 00:58:33,968
I understand your points.

760
00:58:34,468 --> 00:58:36,760
And I am thankful for all your care.

761
00:58:37,176 --> 00:58:38,176
But...

762
00:58:38,260 --> 00:58:41,760
I didn't take this decision
because of a disagreement or a fight.

763
00:58:42,676 --> 00:58:44,926
The love and agony of people around me,

764
00:58:45,301 --> 00:58:47,022
I am not turning a blind eye to that.

765
00:58:47,551 --> 00:58:50,051
But if I give up on this

766
00:58:50,510 --> 00:58:52,968
and back off from my decision,

767
00:58:53,843 --> 00:58:57,885
it would be like me being unjust to myself.

768
00:59:02,176 --> 00:59:04,343
Don't you have anything to say
anything about it, Dad?

769
00:59:12,801 --> 00:59:14,593
What's the point of sitting here anymore?

770
00:59:15,010 --> 00:59:16,926
Father has
several other appointments today.

771
00:59:17,968 --> 00:59:18,968
Come.

772
00:59:23,801 --> 00:59:25,843
We are also leaving, Omana chechi.

773
00:59:26,385 --> 00:59:27,676
I shall pray for you.

774
00:59:39,926 --> 00:59:40,926
Brother.

775
00:59:43,468 --> 00:59:47,135
If you want me to be happy and in peace,

776
00:59:48,385 --> 00:59:49,760
you must stand by me in this.

777
01:00:13,968 --> 01:00:15,301
Hello. What is it, Sibin?

778
01:00:15,426 --> 01:00:16,551
Mathew sir...

779
01:00:16,635 --> 01:00:18,051
Sir, a final attempt.

780
01:00:18,260 --> 01:00:20,051
Omana will receive a call now.

781
01:00:20,176 --> 01:00:22,926
If she asks about it,
just pretend you don't know anything.

782
01:00:24,801 --> 01:00:26,176
Huh? Hello?

783
01:00:44,426 --> 01:00:46,260
-Hello, Omana?
-Yes.

784
01:00:46,385 --> 01:00:48,551
-Who is it?
-My name is Kuriakose.

785
01:00:49,343 --> 01:00:51,551
I am a member of
your husband's opposite party.

786
01:00:52,176 --> 01:00:54,885
I hope you don't mind
if I mention him as your 'husband?'

787
01:00:55,385 --> 01:00:58,718
Anyhow, we all are thrilled about
what you have done to him.

788
01:00:59,676 --> 01:01:02,343
We were also waiting for such a scandal.

789
01:01:02,926 --> 01:01:04,801
So, all I am saying is,

790
01:01:05,301 --> 01:01:07,343
you go ahead with the case without fear.

791
01:01:07,385 --> 01:01:09,218
We are all here if you need any help. Okay?

792
01:01:09,301 --> 01:01:10,718
Don't worry about anything.

793
01:01:11,676 --> 01:01:13,385
He'll anyway lose the election.

794
01:01:13,676 --> 01:01:15,301
If he loses this case too,

795
01:01:15,326 --> 01:01:17,735
We'll lock him and make it
difficult for him to even go out.

796
01:01:17,776 --> 01:01:18,817
You wait and see, Omana.

797
01:01:19,291 --> 01:01:20,541
Okay, carry on.

798
01:01:25,593 --> 01:01:26,593
All set?

799
01:01:35,385 --> 01:01:37,926
Anyway, I'm happy about one thing.

800
01:01:38,416 --> 01:01:40,573
I'm glad that you are at least aware that

801
01:01:40,858 --> 01:01:45,080
if something wrong happens to you,
it will make me sad.

802
01:02:08,801 --> 01:02:13,801
O God, who has adorned
the saints with miraculous gifts,

803
01:02:14,260 --> 01:02:16,424
do help us in our needs,

804
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:22,635
considering the virtues of
the Blessed Virgin Mary who prays for us.

805
01:02:23,051 --> 01:02:27,635
Bless our family and us abundantly

806
01:02:28,218 --> 01:02:32,510
by accomplishing our prayers
according to Your will.

807
01:02:32,926 --> 01:02:37,926
In the name of the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit,

808
01:02:38,010 --> 01:02:40,718
Amen.

809
01:02:45,468 --> 01:02:47,718
Next is the procession.

810
01:02:47,743 --> 01:02:49,385
We are going to start the procession.

811
01:02:49,468 --> 01:02:52,350
So, in order to not disturb
the ongoing traffic,

812
01:02:52,375 --> 01:02:55,572
the procession will progress
in a single line.

813
01:02:55,714 --> 01:02:57,797
I request you to follow
the office bearers' instruction,

814
01:02:57,822 --> 01:03:00,447
and take part in the procession
with devotion.

815
01:03:01,176 --> 01:03:04,301
Abraham will lead in the front,
with the flag.

816
01:03:04,343 --> 01:03:07,502
Everybody, please follow him.

OP 47/19. Petitioner: Omana Philip.
Respondent: Mathew Devassy.

838
01:05:05,010 --> 01:05:06,135
Adv. Sajitha.

839
01:05:06,385 --> 01:05:07,801
Won't you be able to finish it quickly?

840
01:05:07,843 --> 01:05:09,176
We don't have much time.

841
01:05:11,301 --> 01:05:13,593
Proof affidavit of the petitioner
is filed, your owner.

842
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:15,010
Okay. Get in.

843
01:05:16,385 --> 01:05:17,676
Omana Philip.

844
01:05:19,621 --> 01:05:20,621
The bag...

845
01:05:29,218 --> 01:05:32,051
I do swear in the name of God that
I shall state nothing but the truth.

846
01:05:32,468 --> 01:05:36,218
I do swear in the name of God that
I shall state nothing but the truth.

847
01:05:38,385 --> 01:05:40,010
It's been 20 years since your marriage.

848
01:05:40,093 --> 01:05:43,051
You have a daughter,
and she is 19 years old, am I right?

849
01:05:43,926 --> 01:05:44,926
Yes.

850
01:05:45,468 --> 01:05:47,926
The affidavit filed in court,

851
01:05:48,010 --> 01:05:51,135
did you sign it after reading and
understanding it completely?

852
01:05:51,968 --> 01:05:52,968
Yes.

853
01:05:54,468 --> 01:05:56,593
The respondent has fulfilled all your needs

854
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,051
without any shortcomings or hesitation.

855
01:05:59,343 --> 01:06:03,885
You and he raised your daughter together
with no shortfalls.

856
01:06:04,010 --> 01:06:07,260
And you both are providing her with the
necessary education as best as possible.

857
01:06:07,318 --> 01:06:10,235
These points are mentioned in the
proof affidavit you have submitted here.

858
01:06:10,260 --> 01:06:11,260
Am I right?

859
01:06:11,485 --> 01:06:12,485
Yes.

860
01:06:12,510 --> 01:06:15,176
So, if I say that
the respondent is a well-accepted

861
01:06:15,218 --> 01:06:18,010
and esteemed persona in society,
you can't deny it.

862
01:06:18,551 --> 01:06:19,551
I can't.

863
01:06:20,093 --> 01:06:23,010
So, to date, there is no prior history
of any of his friends

864
01:06:23,176 --> 01:06:25,843
or acquaintances having such an experience

865
01:06:25,926 --> 01:06:28,260
from an esteemed person like him.

866
01:06:28,968 --> 01:06:32,885
So, wouldn't it be right to say that
you've fabricated this case against him

867
01:06:33,135 --> 01:06:36,510
out of some personal grudges
between the two of you?

868
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:38,801
No. It is not.

869
01:06:38,843 --> 01:06:41,135
The question asked is really absurd.

870
01:06:41,176 --> 01:06:44,260
Can't a socially respected man
be like this?

871
01:06:44,599 --> 01:06:46,338
Should one belong to a particular category

872
01:06:46,363 --> 01:06:47,949
to be in a homosexual affair?

873
01:06:48,301 --> 01:06:50,760
And claiming that Mathew is not homosexual

874
01:06:50,801 --> 01:06:53,260
just because
he hasn't behaved like this to anyone...

875
01:06:53,635 --> 01:06:55,551
what a baseless argument is that?!

876
01:06:56,218 --> 01:06:57,613
There are people who maintain

877
01:06:57,638 --> 01:07:00,851
monogamous homosexual relationships
for a long time.

878
01:07:01,676 --> 01:07:03,551
Then, madam,
better you answer all my questions!

879
01:07:03,593 --> 01:07:05,010
Isn't this my cross-examination?

880
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,968
Yes, yes.
No further intervention.

881
01:07:08,996 --> 01:07:11,496
The fact that Mathew is
a respected man in society,

882
01:07:11,551 --> 01:07:15,260
is never a criterion for Mathew
to be a non-homosexual person.

883
01:07:15,468 --> 01:07:18,843
But, if there is any truth
in these allegations,

884
01:07:19,087 --> 01:07:22,670
my well-educated client
would have accepted it long ago,

885
01:07:22,718 --> 01:07:24,551
that's my whole point.

886
01:07:24,926 --> 01:07:26,176
Not only that,

887
01:07:26,260 --> 01:07:29,551
If your husband is gay, as you claim,

888
01:07:29,718 --> 01:07:32,135
how did you give birth to a child
in this relationship?

889
01:07:36,355 --> 01:07:37,776
I demanded for a child

890
01:07:37,879 --> 01:07:40,058
and brought her into existence.

891
01:07:44,902 --> 01:07:47,361
Alright. You demanded for a baby.

892
01:07:47,593 --> 01:07:48,676
Which means

893
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,468
your child was born out of your compulsion.

894
01:07:51,580 --> 01:07:52,580
Isn't it?

895
01:07:53,217 --> 01:07:54,217
Yes.

896
01:07:55,343 --> 01:07:57,343
So, on your compulsion or otherwise,

897
01:07:57,468 --> 01:07:59,160
the respondent is someone who was willing

898
01:07:59,185 --> 01:08:01,230
to have a physical relationship with you.

899
01:08:01,926 --> 01:08:05,135
So, it should be understood that
the respondent has no such physical issues,

900
01:08:05,176 --> 01:08:07,968
that prevent him from having
a physical relationship with a woman.

901
01:08:08,010 --> 01:08:09,010
Am I right?

902
01:08:10,093 --> 01:08:12,039
Many homosexuals in their marriage life,

903
01:08:12,063 --> 01:08:14,551
because of their partner's compulsion,

904
01:08:14,635 --> 01:08:17,218
or to pretend themselves as straight,

905
01:08:17,384 --> 01:08:19,884
have indulged in sex like this.
There many similar cases.

906
01:08:21,343 --> 01:08:22,343
Okay.

907
01:08:22,759 --> 01:08:25,031
So, Ms Omana and your husband,

908
01:08:25,054 --> 01:08:28,093
how frequently did you have intercourse?

909
01:08:30,801 --> 01:08:31,676
Four.

910
01:08:31,759 --> 01:08:36,634
See! Four times a month
is a sign of healthy marriage life.

911
01:08:37,277 --> 01:08:38,444
Not in a month.

912
01:08:38,884 --> 01:08:40,259
Ever since our marriage,

913
01:08:40,913 --> 01:08:42,143
till date, four times.

914
01:08:47,509 --> 01:08:50,218
So, were you not staying together
in the same house ?

915
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:52,676
Yes. Even now we are.

916
01:08:53,343 --> 01:08:55,676
You both sleep together even now?

917
01:08:56,361 --> 01:08:57,402
Yes.

918
01:08:57,926 --> 01:08:58,926
Together.

919
01:09:00,551 --> 01:09:01,551
Alright.

920
01:09:01,807 --> 01:09:03,244
Omana, you have mentioned that

921
01:09:03,268 --> 01:09:06,691
no physical torture
or direct mental torture,

922
01:09:06,718 --> 01:09:08,855
was done to you by my client to date.

923
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:10,512
That is mentioned in the affidavit.

924
01:09:10,718 --> 01:09:11,884
Isn't that true?

925
01:09:12,301 --> 01:09:13,759
That is not the issue here.

926
01:09:14,009 --> 01:09:17,593
The issue here is that he hasn't fulfilled
the marital obligations.

927
01:09:17,801 --> 01:09:20,259
By hiding his sexuality,

928
01:09:20,313 --> 01:09:22,688
Mathew has ruined a woman's youth and life.

929
01:09:22,718 --> 01:09:24,176
That is the mental cruelty here.

930
01:09:24,468 --> 01:09:26,051
Aren't these settled positions?

931
01:09:26,134 --> 01:09:28,134
Daniel Crasto vs The State Of Maharashtra.

932
01:09:28,218 --> 01:09:30,134
The wife can very well go for a divorce.

933
01:09:32,884 --> 01:09:34,801
Are there any other connected matters
in this?

934
01:09:35,218 --> 01:09:36,259
Absolutely nothing.

935
01:09:36,343 --> 01:09:37,347
It's a genuine case.

936
01:09:37,371 --> 01:09:38,487
No monitory claim.

937
01:09:38,572 --> 01:09:39,737
Only seeking divorce.

938
01:09:41,718 --> 01:09:45,676
When did you realise that
your husband is a homosexual person?

939
01:09:46,468 --> 01:09:49,111
Initially, when he didn't show

940
01:09:49,136 --> 01:09:51,339
any interest in me after our marriage,

941
01:09:51,500 --> 01:09:53,790
I thought it must be because of
some other reason,

942
01:09:53,816 --> 01:09:55,941
and that it would become alright
eventually.

943
01:09:57,111 --> 01:09:59,069
Ever since I was pregnant with my daughter,

944
01:09:59,301 --> 01:10:01,010
I started having doubts.

945
01:10:01,687 --> 01:10:04,770
And within days after
my daughter was born, I realised that,

946
01:10:05,811 --> 01:10:07,353
Mathew has a relationship.

947
01:10:08,968 --> 01:10:11,260
Didn't you confront him
when you came to know about it?

948
01:10:12,510 --> 01:10:13,926
I asked him several times.

949
01:10:14,260 --> 01:10:17,343
He denied it all the time.

950
01:10:18,676 --> 01:10:19,843
Later on...

951
01:10:20,176 --> 01:10:21,718
I stopped asking.

952
01:10:23,130 --> 01:10:25,995
Afterwards, Mathew nor I did express

953
01:10:26,295 --> 01:10:28,712
any signs of such an issue
to the outside world.

954
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,370
So, till date, you haven't discussed about

955
01:10:32,426 --> 01:10:34,332
a mutual divorce with Mathew.

956
01:10:35,426 --> 01:10:37,183
Whenever I bring up the divorce talk,

957
01:10:37,208 --> 01:10:38,872
Mathew would just get up and leave.

958
01:10:40,254 --> 01:10:42,269
Didn't you tell your parents
about this, Omana?

959
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,010
I told them.

960
01:10:44,510 --> 01:10:46,926
But my dad scolded me.

961
01:10:48,512 --> 01:10:49,621
Court question...

962
01:10:50,260 --> 01:10:52,843
Have you ever seen
your husband and the said friend of his,

963
01:10:53,051 --> 01:10:55,635
in any suspicious situations?

964
01:10:57,926 --> 01:10:58,926
No.

965
01:11:11,468 --> 01:11:13,051
How did you realise it, then?

966
01:11:13,301 --> 01:11:15,801
What is your allegation based on?

967
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:18,301
Does she have to see it directly?

968
01:11:18,385 --> 01:11:20,301
Aren't they living together
for a long time?

969
01:11:20,349 --> 01:11:21,724
Won't it be evident from his behaviour?

970
01:11:21,749 --> 01:11:23,374
Don't lead the witness, madam.

971
01:11:24,301 --> 01:11:25,301
Alright.

972
01:11:25,635 --> 01:11:30,093
You said you realised it
almost 18 years ago.

973
01:11:30,968 --> 01:11:34,426
Why didn't you file such a petition
back then?

974
01:11:34,551 --> 01:11:36,926
Did you have any obstacles
or difficulties in doing so?

975
01:11:37,260 --> 01:11:40,593
If the respondent
has ruined your youth and life...

976
01:11:40,676 --> 01:11:43,301
why did you wait for this long, Omana?

977
01:11:46,301 --> 01:11:48,260
See, this itself proves

978
01:11:48,301 --> 01:11:52,135
that this whole case is regarding
some recent personal conflicts

979
01:11:52,176 --> 01:11:53,551
between the husband and the wife.

980
01:11:53,590 --> 01:11:57,465
And it has absolutely nothing
to do with the stated allegations.

981
01:11:59,635 --> 01:12:00,676
Your honour.

982
01:12:00,718 --> 01:12:04,218
The women of our society
still don't have the luxury of choice,

983
01:12:04,260 --> 01:12:07,593
to come out of their families
and take their own stand.

984
01:12:08,228 --> 01:12:09,882
It is precisely the courage that Omana

985
01:12:09,906 --> 01:12:11,519
has gathered by moving along with time,

986
01:12:11,593 --> 01:12:13,135
that makes her stand here today.

987
01:12:13,593 --> 01:12:15,426
And, if you ask why she took this long,

988
01:12:15,551 --> 01:12:18,410
let me remind you it was only last year

989
01:12:18,441 --> 01:12:20,644
that Section 377 was decriminalised.

990
01:12:20,968 --> 01:12:24,010
Suppose Omana had gone ahead
with such a case before that

991
01:12:24,218 --> 01:12:25,801
as per then existing law,

992
01:12:25,968 --> 01:12:28,269
Mathew would have considered
engaging in a criminal offence.

993
01:12:28,718 --> 01:12:30,176
If not anything,

994
01:12:30,201 --> 01:12:33,826
she must have been well aware that
her husband isn't a criminal.

995
01:12:35,093 --> 01:12:37,593
And this lady had to wait until 2018.

996
01:12:37,635 --> 01:12:39,885
Just because we had
such a law in our country.

997
01:12:40,385 --> 01:12:43,135
Along with that verdict, which
was called the verdict of the century,

998
01:12:43,260 --> 01:12:44,785
Justice Indu Malhotra had said,

999
01:12:44,810 --> 01:12:48,207
'history owes an apology
to the members of this community'.

1000
01:12:48,718 --> 01:12:50,676
In fact, that apology is also extended to

1001
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,801
people like Omana.

1002
01:12:53,176 --> 01:12:57,468
Unfortunately, in our country,
more than 80% of homosexuals

1003
01:12:57,593 --> 01:13:01,635
are married to a straight partner.

1004
01:13:02,510 --> 01:13:03,949
Imagine their plight.

1005
01:13:07,791 --> 01:13:08,791
You proceed.

1006
01:13:09,878 --> 01:13:10,920
Your honour,

1007
01:13:10,968 --> 01:13:12,968
all these are unnecessary allegations.

1008
01:13:13,010 --> 01:13:14,593
Just for the sake of a divorce.

1009
01:13:14,801 --> 01:13:15,801
That's all.

1010
01:13:56,718 --> 01:13:57,718
Okay.

1011
01:13:57,801 --> 01:14:00,426
If there are no such problems
between the two of you,

1012
01:14:00,551 --> 01:14:05,260
then why do you think,
Omana filed such a petition?

1013
01:14:09,176 --> 01:14:10,343
I don't know.

1014
01:14:12,218 --> 01:14:13,218
Mathew,

1015
01:14:13,301 --> 01:14:15,510
homosexuality is not a medical condition.

1016
01:14:15,801 --> 01:14:16,843
On the other hand,

1017
01:14:16,885 --> 01:14:20,968
it's an extremely humane and natural thing.

1018
01:14:21,176 --> 01:14:22,176
Am I right?

1019
01:14:24,635 --> 01:14:25,635
Am I right?

1020
01:14:26,343 --> 01:14:27,343
Yes.

1021
01:14:29,010 --> 01:14:31,051
How can you say that with so much surety?

1022
01:14:31,510 --> 01:14:32,968
Do you have any personal experience?

1023
01:14:33,010 --> 01:14:34,593
From your own life or something?

1024
01:14:38,801 --> 01:14:39,801
No.

1025
01:14:41,510 --> 01:14:42,510
Okay.

1026
01:14:43,343 --> 01:14:45,801
There is a farm owned by your father
at Pullikkanam.

1027
01:14:45,885 --> 01:14:50,218
If I say that you and your aforementioned
friend used to hang out there,

1028
01:14:50,343 --> 01:14:51,343
won't I be right?

1029
01:14:52,926 --> 01:14:53,968
No.

1030
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,385
There is no proof
for any of these statements.

1031
01:14:58,468 --> 01:15:01,635
They are just beating around the bush
with such cooked-up stories.

1032
01:15:02,135 --> 01:15:03,135
Okay.

1033
01:15:05,010 --> 01:15:07,760
As someone who has a chance
of being appointed to a position

1034
01:15:07,801 --> 01:15:10,301
where he has to interact closely
with the public,

1035
01:15:10,468 --> 01:15:15,968
we can expect you to approach things
genuinely and ethically.

1036
01:15:16,051 --> 01:15:17,093
Isn't it?

1037
01:15:18,093 --> 01:15:19,551
Just imagine, Mathew.

1038
01:15:19,885 --> 01:15:22,051
If you are a homosexual person,

1039
01:15:22,385 --> 01:15:25,843
by hiding that from
your life partner who is a woman,

1040
01:15:26,051 --> 01:15:28,676
and denying her physical needs,

1041
01:15:28,885 --> 01:15:31,343
if I say that it is cruelty,
would you be able to negate that?

1042
01:15:31,801 --> 01:15:33,260
This is a hypothetical question.

1043
01:15:33,301 --> 01:15:34,718
He is not bound to answer.

1044
01:15:34,801 --> 01:15:37,010
Please confine your questions
to relevant facts, madam.

1045
01:15:37,176 --> 01:15:38,593
This is highly relevant.

1046
01:15:39,385 --> 01:15:40,468
Mathew, tell me.

1047
01:15:41,260 --> 01:15:42,301
It might be...

1048
01:15:42,635 --> 01:15:45,801
But I don't have enough knowledge
about this.

1049
01:15:46,385 --> 01:15:48,385
Your honour, that's his reply.

1050
01:15:48,426 --> 01:15:49,801
That may be recorded.

1051
01:15:53,176 --> 01:15:54,426
That's all, your honour.

1052
01:15:59,510 --> 01:16:00,593
Is there a re-examination?

1053
01:16:01,176 --> 01:16:02,176
No, your honour.

1054
01:16:22,621 --> 01:16:25,080
Didn't you say
you're contesting for elections?

1055
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,926
I expected you to have some common sense.

1056
01:16:28,801 --> 01:16:30,885
Without telling your lawyer the truth,

1057
01:16:30,954 --> 01:16:33,995
there is no point
in miming inside the court.

1058
01:16:42,093 --> 01:16:44,093
Anyway,
I've committed to dealing with this case.

1059
01:16:44,468 --> 01:16:46,051
Come to my office tomorrow, sir.

1060
01:17:02,051 --> 01:17:03,051
Brother.

1061
01:17:03,260 --> 01:17:04,510
My name is Midhun.

1062
01:17:04,718 --> 01:17:08,968
I'm a member of an LGBTIQ+ association
named 'Queerala'.

1063
01:17:09,991 --> 01:17:11,679
Ever since we came to know about your case,

1064
01:17:11,704 --> 01:17:14,245
we have been waiting to
get in touch with you.

1065
01:17:15,180 --> 01:17:18,263
We clearly understand the situation
that you're going through.

1066
01:17:18,288 --> 01:17:21,371
It's a situation that
we all have gone through.

1067
01:17:22,260 --> 01:17:24,010
We can help you, brother.

1068
01:17:24,093 --> 01:17:25,926
I know, coming out is not an easy task.

1069
01:17:26,010 --> 01:17:27,624
But, with proper counselling

1070
01:17:27,671 --> 01:17:29,757
or ample mental health support,

1071
01:17:30,260 --> 01:17:32,081
you can overcome this situation.

1072
01:17:32,202 --> 01:17:33,510
We are sure about that.

1073
01:17:33,593 --> 01:17:34,843
Maybe we can help you out.

1074
01:18:02,569 --> 01:18:03,986
My brothers and sisters,

1075
01:18:04,011 --> 01:18:07,677
Consider it pure joy
whenever you face trials of many kinds.

1076
01:18:08,018 --> 01:18:10,444
Because you know that

1077
01:18:10,744 --> 01:18:13,785
the testing of your faith produces
perseverance.

1078
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:15,956
Let perseverance finish its work

1079
01:18:15,981 --> 01:18:20,106
so that you may be mature and complete,

1080
01:18:20,852 --> 01:18:24,437
and not lacking anything.

1081
01:18:24,483 --> 01:18:28,316
If any of you lacks wisdom,
you should ask God,

1082
01:18:28,568 --> 01:18:30,901
God will bestow it on him.

1083
01:18:30,927 --> 01:18:32,719
God is the one who gives generously to all

1084
01:18:32,744 --> 01:18:35,494
without finding fault,
and it will be given to you.

1085
01:18:35,969 --> 01:18:39,351
But when you ask, you must believe
and not doubt,

1086
01:18:39,385 --> 01:18:41,882
because the one who doubts
is like a wave of the sea,

1087
01:18:41,907 --> 01:18:44,140
blown and tossed by the wind.

1088
01:20:13,856 --> 01:20:15,897
Should we keep this here?

1089
01:20:16,710 --> 01:20:17,710
Mathew uncle is here.

1090
01:20:17,735 --> 01:20:19,549
-Hey, brother-in-law.
-When did you come, Tommy?

1091
01:20:19,668 --> 01:20:20,668
A while ago.

1092
01:20:21,451 --> 01:20:22,701
He is going to the UK tomorrow.

1093
01:20:22,726 --> 01:20:23,934
He's come to bid adieu.

1094
01:20:24,701 --> 01:20:25,701
All the best, dear.

1095
01:20:25,910 --> 01:20:27,535
All the best to you too, Mathew uncle.

1096
01:20:27,826 --> 01:20:29,035
Stay blessed.

1097
01:20:32,035 --> 01:20:33,451
How's the election works going?

1098
01:20:34,410 --> 01:20:35,576
It's going on.

1099
01:20:38,844 --> 01:20:40,094
Also, brother-in-law.

1100
01:20:41,701 --> 01:20:43,160
At first, I thought,

1101
01:20:43,485 --> 01:20:45,193
these rumours are not true.

1102
01:20:46,076 --> 01:20:47,160
Then I thought,

1103
01:20:47,959 --> 01:20:50,918
Things would get better if I beat him
and drove him out of this place.

1104
01:20:51,910 --> 01:20:52,951
But now I understand,

1105
01:20:54,035 --> 01:20:55,468
things are not going to end there.

1106
01:20:57,203 --> 01:20:59,701
Omana was in love with someone
before your marriage.

1107
01:21:00,826 --> 01:21:02,201
Dad opposed it.

1108
01:21:04,243 --> 01:21:06,076
She asked me a lot to stand by her.

1109
01:21:06,660 --> 01:21:07,701
I didn't.

1110
01:21:09,326 --> 01:21:12,618
She had even told dad
about your issue after your marriage.

1111
01:21:13,243 --> 01:21:14,410
I wasn't aware of it then.

1112
01:21:15,576 --> 01:21:17,285
Would I have stood by her if I had known?

1113
01:21:17,451 --> 01:21:19,035
Nah! I don't think so.

1114
01:21:21,480 --> 01:21:24,146
At least now, I want to stand by her.

1115
01:21:25,410 --> 01:21:26,694
If possible,

1116
01:21:26,952 --> 01:21:29,116
try to spare her
from all this case and chaos.

1117
01:21:30,473 --> 01:21:31,973
She's an innocent soul.

1118
01:22:07,195 --> 01:22:11,827
‘VOTE FOR THE INDEPENDENT LEFTIST CANDIDATE
MR MATHEW DEVASSY'

1119
01:22:34,618 --> 01:22:35,618
Dad...

1120
01:22:36,035 --> 01:22:38,160
Do you need anything, dad?
Shall I get you a coffee?

1121
01:22:43,828 --> 01:22:44,953
What happened, dad?

1122
01:22:47,035 --> 01:22:48,118
Dear...

1123
01:22:48,868 --> 01:22:50,493
I want to tell you something.

1124
01:22:53,035 --> 01:22:54,243
I don't know

1125
01:22:54,868 --> 01:22:56,660
if it is right to say this.

1126
01:22:58,868 --> 01:23:00,993
When I think of his situation,

1127
01:23:01,785 --> 01:23:03,285
it scares me.

1128
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,243
I have never seen him like this before.

1129
01:23:12,410 --> 01:23:13,951
It's my request.

1130
01:23:15,285 --> 01:23:17,243
If there is any possibility,

1131
01:23:18,243 --> 01:23:20,451
can you withdraw this case, dear?

1132
01:23:22,618 --> 01:23:23,618
Father.

1133
01:23:25,451 --> 01:23:26,785
Do you remember?

1134
01:23:28,286 --> 01:23:30,453
Long ago, when I delivered Femy,

1135
01:23:31,177 --> 01:23:34,219
it's you who came to Meppara
to bring me home.

1136
01:23:35,285 --> 01:23:37,535
Thankan had met with an accident then.

1137
01:23:38,743 --> 01:23:40,243
So Mathew didn't come.

1138
01:23:42,785 --> 01:23:44,243
While returning,

1139
01:23:44,410 --> 01:23:46,701
you were sitting with your head down
in the car.

1140
01:23:47,243 --> 01:23:48,368
I had seen that.

1141
01:23:49,451 --> 01:23:51,160
Here, just like this.

1142
01:23:53,410 --> 01:23:55,201
Since the day I came here,

1143
01:23:55,701 --> 01:23:58,785
I have never seen you two
talking face to face.

1144
01:24:00,076 --> 01:24:01,285
Usually,

1145
01:24:01,951 --> 01:24:05,326
fathers are hesitant to speak to their sons

1146
01:24:06,269 --> 01:24:08,394
once they are grown up.

1147
01:24:08,701 --> 01:24:10,410
At first, I thought you too were hesitant.

1148
01:24:12,243 --> 01:24:13,410
It was only much later,

1149
01:24:14,618 --> 01:24:16,410
I realised the reason for it.

1150
01:24:18,445 --> 01:24:19,612
Usually,

1151
01:24:20,977 --> 01:24:23,227
once girls get married,

1152
01:24:23,910 --> 01:24:25,285
they get a husband.

1153
01:24:28,899 --> 01:24:30,316
I didn't get one.

1154
01:24:31,826 --> 01:24:32,826
But...

1155
01:24:33,997 --> 01:24:35,497
I got a father.

1156
01:24:38,910 --> 01:24:41,118
I like you more than my own dad.

1157
01:24:47,118 --> 01:24:49,233
That's why I still stay here,

1158
01:24:49,976 --> 01:24:52,718
thinking I could stay here
for you for one more day.

1159
01:24:55,285 --> 01:24:58,285
I understand your sorrow
better than anyone else.

1160
01:24:59,118 --> 01:25:00,160
Also,

1161
01:25:00,410 --> 01:25:04,535
I'm not doing this
to hurt or shame Mathew.

1162
01:25:08,951 --> 01:25:10,118
I can't take it anymore.

1163
01:25:35,993 --> 01:25:37,167
Enough, Thankan.

1164
01:25:37,222 --> 01:25:38,441
Let's go. Come.

1165
01:25:38,540 --> 01:25:39,640
You drink, man.

1166
01:25:39,745 --> 01:25:40,760
No.

1167
01:25:40,785 --> 01:25:42,201
I have enough money.

1168
01:25:42,243 --> 01:25:43,993
Not because of that.
I'm done. Let's go.

1169
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,118
Things aren't the same anymore
in my driving school.

1170
01:25:49,785 --> 01:25:51,326
Lots of girls have joined.

1171
01:25:52,618 --> 01:25:56,618
Their parents are very confident
to send them to me.

1172
01:25:57,701 --> 01:25:58,826
Why is it so?

1173
01:26:00,326 --> 01:26:02,243
I won't do them any harm, right?

1174
01:26:04,035 --> 01:26:05,993
As my taste is so different,

1175
01:26:06,618 --> 01:26:08,660
it's very safe, they say.

1176
01:26:08,951 --> 01:26:10,076
Not because of that,

1177
01:26:10,285 --> 01:26:14,451
my daughter and her husband
are coming home in the evening.

1178
01:26:15,279 --> 01:26:16,946
-Aha!
-I should go early.

1179
01:26:17,243 --> 01:26:19,826
But you wanted to
beat them to death, right?

1180
01:26:21,035 --> 01:26:22,743
That was a long time ago, Thankan.

1181
01:26:24,368 --> 01:26:25,701
Just think about it.

1182
01:26:26,535 --> 01:26:28,285
Who else do I have, if not for her?

1183
01:26:28,410 --> 01:26:29,410
Right!

1184
01:26:29,579 --> 01:26:30,579
That's the thing.

1185
01:26:32,660 --> 01:26:37,160
Everyone fears losing the ones they love.

1186
01:26:40,402 --> 01:26:42,027
But there are people...

1187
01:26:42,993 --> 01:26:45,064
who miss out on love because of that fear.

1188
01:26:46,910 --> 01:26:48,910
Thankan, get up. Enough.

1189
01:26:49,993 --> 01:26:51,201
Come.

1190
01:26:53,035 --> 01:26:54,451
People are watching.
Come, let's go.

1191
01:26:54,493 --> 01:26:56,064
That's enough.

1192
01:26:56,569 --> 01:26:57,705
Come, get up.

1193
01:26:58,035 --> 01:26:59,035
Come on.

1194
01:27:06,035 --> 01:27:07,868
Kuttayi, what are you doing here?

1195
01:27:09,701 --> 01:27:10,868
What happened?

1196
01:27:11,355 --> 01:27:12,813
-Nothing.
-What is it?

1197
01:27:12,868 --> 01:27:14,326
-What happened, Thankan?
-Come here.

1198
01:27:14,410 --> 01:27:15,993
You go get some water.

1199
01:27:17,076 --> 01:27:18,076
Sit here.

1200
01:27:21,035 --> 01:27:22,529
What is it, dear.

1201
01:27:22,693 --> 01:27:24,091
I'm fed up, uncle.

1202
01:27:24,910 --> 01:27:26,868
Everyone is teasing and commenting.

1203
01:27:27,993 --> 01:27:29,951
I can't take it anymore.

1204
01:27:30,701 --> 01:27:31,993
I don't have anybody.

1205
01:27:32,868 --> 01:27:34,618
Don't you have your mother?

1206
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:37,951
Don't you have your sister, Kunjipennu?

1207
01:27:39,951 --> 01:27:41,326
Doesn't have anyone, it seems!

1208
01:27:44,326 --> 01:27:46,576
Your sadness won't get washed off
with alcohol.

1209
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:49,493
Thankan uncle!

1210
01:28:00,701 --> 01:28:03,618
Comrade, they are moving things vigorously.

1211
01:28:03,701 --> 01:28:08,535
They are far ahead of us when it comes to
public campaign and house visits.

1212
01:28:08,576 --> 01:28:09,576
Also,

1213
01:28:09,601 --> 01:28:14,143
there is general talk that Mathew sir
should be more serious about these things.

1214
01:28:14,660 --> 01:28:16,410
I have disagreements with what he said.

1215
01:28:16,489 --> 01:28:19,614
Because we covered almost 30 houses
in Kavumbhagam yesterday.

1216
01:28:19,789 --> 01:28:22,322
How can you say that
we're not working enough then?

1217
01:28:22,826 --> 01:28:24,743
Indeed, that's what I also have to say.

1218
01:28:24,865 --> 01:28:27,657
If we work enthusiastically like this,

1219
01:28:27,922 --> 01:28:30,119
I have no doubt that
we'll win the election.

1220
01:28:30,326 --> 01:28:32,410
Also, unlike regular elections,

1221
01:28:32,493 --> 01:28:34,660
we will have to overcome
lots of hurdles.

1222
01:28:34,701 --> 01:28:35,910
That's the reality.

1223
01:28:36,076 --> 01:28:39,035
Though Father Jomon is
preaching progressiveness here.

1224
01:28:39,076 --> 01:28:41,826
Things are moving against Mathew sir
at the Bishop's house.

1225
01:28:41,910 --> 01:28:44,701
The opposition party is also
using the best of it there.

1226
01:28:46,326 --> 01:28:48,076
About those matters,

1227
01:28:48,201 --> 01:28:51,410
Party is discussing it at the higher level
to overcome them.

1228
01:28:51,451 --> 01:28:52,785
Alright?

1229
01:28:53,201 --> 01:28:56,160
Decisions too will be made soon.

1230
01:28:56,993 --> 01:28:59,826
So, as the convention is almost over,

1231
01:28:59,910 --> 01:29:01,368
what next? Huh?

1232
01:29:01,826 --> 01:29:03,279
If the meeting is over,

1233
01:29:03,311 --> 01:29:05,376
Joseph has arranged for some coffee.

1234
01:29:05,576 --> 01:29:07,160
Let's have it and wind up.

1235
01:29:07,451 --> 01:29:08,535
Okay.

1236
01:29:09,326 --> 01:29:10,535
Alright then.

1237
01:29:12,826 --> 01:29:13,951
Hello, lawyer.

1238
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:15,410
What is this, Mathew sir?

1239
01:29:15,493 --> 01:29:17,993
Things are getting more complicated.

1240
01:29:18,326 --> 01:29:22,076
They have filed a petition
to reopen the evidence.

1241
01:29:22,743 --> 01:29:25,910
They say they have one more witness
to produce from their side.

1242
01:29:28,451 --> 01:29:29,451
Who is it?

1243
01:29:53,785 --> 01:29:57,160
IA 318/19 in OP number 47/19.

1244
01:29:57,285 --> 01:29:59,785
Petitioner: Omana Philip.
Respondent: Mathew Devassy.

1245
01:30:00,947 --> 01:30:03,241
Your honour,
petition for re-opening the evidence.

1246
01:30:03,266 --> 01:30:04,683
There is one more witness.

1247
01:30:05,368 --> 01:30:06,535
I see!

1248
01:30:07,219 --> 01:30:10,017
You initially said the parties are
the sole ones involved, didn't you?

1249
01:30:10,118 --> 01:30:12,876
If we keep chitchatting with new witnesses,

1250
01:30:12,980 --> 01:30:15,355
we won't be able to finish this
by the time you requested.

1251
01:30:16,493 --> 01:30:19,285
I don't even have time
to pass judgments in other cases.

1252
01:30:20,201 --> 01:30:22,493
The bench is working till 6 PM everyday.

1253
01:30:24,326 --> 01:30:26,243
Your honour, there is only one witness.

1254
01:30:26,326 --> 01:30:27,326
We don't need much time.

1255
01:30:27,410 --> 01:30:28,701
It's a star witness.

1256
01:30:28,992 --> 01:30:30,617
Respondent side, any objection?

1257
01:30:31,246 --> 01:30:32,705
Only formal objection, your honour.

1258
01:30:32,730 --> 01:30:34,182
Evidence may be re-opened.

1259
01:30:34,951 --> 01:30:36,243
Is the person here?

1260
01:30:36,618 --> 01:30:37,618
Yes.

1261
01:30:38,618 --> 01:30:39,618
You may call them.

1262
01:30:40,660 --> 01:30:41,785
P.K. Devassy.

1263
01:30:55,035 --> 01:30:56,035
Who is this?

1264
01:30:56,201 --> 01:30:58,118
He is the father of the respondent,
your honour.

1265
01:30:59,576 --> 01:31:00,701
Get inside, please.

1266
01:31:13,868 --> 01:31:16,701
I do swear in the name of God,
I shall state nothing but the truth.

1267
01:31:17,035 --> 01:31:21,160
I do swear in the name of God,
I shall state nothing but the truth.

1268
01:31:24,105 --> 01:31:27,063
It is said in the proof affidavit
you have filed in here,

1269
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:30,910
all allegations that Omana
has given against your son Mathew,

1270
01:31:31,076 --> 01:31:32,285
are true.

1271
01:31:32,707 --> 01:31:34,748
It's okay, sir.
It's not yet bound into records.

1272
01:31:35,032 --> 01:31:37,782
It is obvious that
you were forced to do so.

1273
01:31:38,156 --> 01:31:41,114
You can just tell the facts here.

1274
01:31:41,785 --> 01:31:46,826
It is given
with my full understanding and consent.

1275
01:31:47,243 --> 01:31:50,868
This means you're saying that
your son Mathew is a homosexual

1276
01:31:51,029 --> 01:31:53,571
and as Omana demands,
their relationship should be ended.

1277
01:31:53,701 --> 01:31:54,785
Is it so?

1278
01:31:56,118 --> 01:31:57,118
Yes.

1279
01:31:58,847 --> 01:32:01,638
As per the request by
your daughter-in-law Omana,

1280
01:32:01,701 --> 01:32:04,884
who was by your side
and supported you to date,

1281
01:32:05,201 --> 01:32:08,166
and because of the love and care
you have for her,

1282
01:32:08,191 --> 01:32:11,035
Isn't that why you're giving this false
statement, despite knowing the truth?

1283
01:32:11,076 --> 01:32:12,076
No.

1284
01:32:13,618 --> 01:32:17,076
How can you say with
so much assurance that Mathew is gay?

1285
01:32:17,201 --> 01:32:18,701
Do you have any evidence?

1286
01:32:20,618 --> 01:32:22,993
Mathew is my son.

1287
01:32:27,493 --> 01:32:28,493
That's all, my Lord.

1288
01:32:29,368 --> 01:32:31,236
Adv. Ameera, any re-examination?

1289
01:32:31,951 --> 01:32:34,035
Two questions for clarification,
your honour.

1290
01:32:36,472 --> 01:32:39,972
When did you realise
that Mathew is a homosexual?

1291
01:32:41,576 --> 01:32:43,660
I knew it since he was a kid.

1292
01:32:46,743 --> 01:32:48,910
Why did he agree to the marriage, then?

1293
01:32:50,864 --> 01:32:52,823
He didn't agree.

1294
01:32:53,910 --> 01:32:58,660
Mathew was conceding,
as I pressured him to get married.

1295
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:05,326
That's all, your honour.

1296
01:33:11,326 --> 01:33:13,220
You may get down.
Sign before you leave.

1297
01:33:53,701 --> 01:33:55,118
Let's go out. Come.

1298
01:33:57,485 --> 01:33:58,869
See you, uncle.

1299
01:34:07,410 --> 01:34:08,410
Brother.

1300
01:34:09,410 --> 01:34:10,410
Don't worry.

1301
01:34:10,701 --> 01:34:12,826
I'll send him back after a couple of days.

1302
01:34:17,618 --> 01:34:18,618
Shall I go?

1303
01:35:34,660 --> 01:35:36,785
The lawyer says I'll lose the case.

1304
01:35:38,736 --> 01:35:39,910
Let it be.

1305
01:35:42,493 --> 01:35:43,785
Everybody realised that,

1306
01:35:45,324 --> 01:35:47,574
Matthew had been lying all this time.

1307
01:35:50,576 --> 01:35:52,243
I don't have to play that drama anymore.

1308
01:36:00,425 --> 01:36:01,716
Omana, that poor soul.

1309
01:36:02,946 --> 01:36:04,779
Her life too is ruined because of me.

1310
01:36:08,521 --> 01:36:09,896
Shall I ask you something, dad?

1311
01:36:11,555 --> 01:36:14,055
You were also there
when the doctor talked about this, right?

1312
01:36:14,173 --> 01:36:15,381
What did you say, then?

1313
01:36:16,259 --> 01:36:18,051
Everything will be alright
if I get married.

1314
01:36:19,472 --> 01:36:21,095
Is everything alright now?

1315
01:36:33,326 --> 01:36:35,826
You raised me, giving me all freedom.

1316
01:36:38,451 --> 01:36:40,868
You understood all my needs.

1317
01:36:43,472 --> 01:36:44,930
But when it came to this,

1318
01:36:45,743 --> 01:36:47,173
you couldn't understand me.

1319
01:36:50,035 --> 01:36:51,910
Not only you, nobody could understand me.

1320
01:37:07,146 --> 01:37:08,146
Dear...

1321
01:37:08,605 --> 01:37:10,771
What did I do wrong?

1322
01:37:14,214 --> 01:37:15,214
What did I...

1323
01:37:36,124 --> 01:37:37,275
Not you...

1324
01:37:37,785 --> 01:37:39,660
But it's me who did wrong.

1325
01:39:18,482 --> 01:39:19,524
Sorry.

1326
01:39:29,985 --> 01:39:31,447
I was scared, Omana.

1327
01:39:33,357 --> 01:39:37,041
I wanted to say to the world that
I'm this kind of a person.

1328
01:39:37,722 --> 01:39:38,892
But I couldn't.

1329
01:39:43,050 --> 01:39:44,220
I was scared.

1330
01:39:45,942 --> 01:39:47,455
I was scared of everything.

1331
01:39:50,076 --> 01:39:51,853
I was even scared of myself.

1332
01:39:59,425 --> 01:40:01,845
You've been suffering all these
for a long time.

1333
01:40:05,048 --> 01:40:06,173
Had you wanted,

1334
01:40:07,731 --> 01:40:09,799
you could have left me long ago.

1335
01:40:11,688 --> 01:40:13,355
I didn't let you do that as well.

1336
01:40:18,821 --> 01:40:19,863
Sorry.

1337
01:40:22,076 --> 01:40:24,451
Am I the only one to be rescued, Mathew?

1338
01:40:25,898 --> 01:40:27,398
Don't you want to rescue yourself?

1339
01:40:29,910 --> 01:40:32,228
Why do we have to stick on this way here?

1340
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:38,243
Mathew, don't you also want to
have a life you desire?

1341
01:40:40,410 --> 01:40:41,535
You think...

1342
01:40:42,336 --> 01:40:44,753
I did all this only for myself?

1343
01:40:44,899 --> 01:40:46,066
Huh?

1344
01:40:50,637 --> 01:40:51,721
Mathew.

1345
01:40:53,079 --> 01:40:54,371
Could you please...

1346
01:40:55,044 --> 01:40:56,431
sleep beside me tonight?

1347
01:40:59,091 --> 01:41:00,925
My God!!!

1348
01:41:39,352 --> 01:41:40,769
I am Mathew Devassy.

1349
01:41:41,454 --> 01:41:44,162
In the forthcoming by-election in ward 3,

1350
01:41:44,238 --> 01:41:46,571
I am also a candidate.

1351
01:41:46,870 --> 01:41:49,036

I'm getting panicked, Mathew.

1405
01:46:39,144 --> 01:46:40,151
For what?

1406
01:46:40,495 --> 01:46:41,652
I don't know.

1407
01:46:49,644 --> 01:46:50,686
What is this, mom?

1408
01:46:50,710 --> 01:46:52,863
I asked you wear that gray shade.

1409
01:46:53,584 --> 01:46:55,325
Don't you have anything else to do, Femi?

1410
01:46:55,426 --> 01:46:56,823
She is all panicked here.

1411
01:46:57,089 --> 01:46:59,389
I'll call you after this, okay?

1412
01:47:00,037 --> 01:47:01,107
All the best!

1413
01:47:15,262 --> 01:47:16,384
Hello, Omana.

1414
01:47:16,566 --> 01:47:17,735
