I’ve been sending him photos.
Jason is very happy with your work.
But he feels you’re quite slow.
Good work takes time. Right?
I’ll talk to Jason.
You can move in by Christmas. No stress.
- The plastering will start right away. - It must.
He plans to stay here during the holidays.
Of course. It’ll be done by then.
What’s the character’s name?
Padmini.
- Late as usual! - You’re late too.
Hurry, get in.
Hurry up!
Hurry up! Get down quickly.
[indistinct chatter]
Mind your step.
Cijin, careful with those masks.
- Isn’t this beautiful? - When did you take it?
Don’t leave anything behind in the van.
Got everything, Aji?
[indistinct chatter]
'THE PLAY'
Finally! I thought you’d end up serving me on stage.
Anjali, does this look good?
Yes! It’s good!
I’ve stuck it together, Don’t put it on now. Let it dry.
Don’t wear it. Let it dry.
- I’m going. - Where to?
I haven’t got my flowers yet.
Keep me company.
You want me to get an earful from sir?
He’s a young boy.
That was not nice.
I’ve seen crooks much younger than him. You have no idea.
So, you're going to tell her today?
It's been a bad day.
- But I should tell her, right? - You must!
Debts can wait, but never love.
Tell her! She’ll say yes.
I’m bored of the same damn veg food.
Madan, put in a word for me.
Yeah! I read it fully.
How about an omelette with it?
Bro, I’ll call tomorrow
Let’s meet in person. Okay?
You’re finally here.
You’ll be fine in five minutes.
Vinay!
Do I get an interview?
- No idea. - I wanted to say something.
Prasanth, you made me panic!
I stressed you out, right?
Don’t linger on! Go put on your make-up!
I’m glad you didn’t forget it. Here.
Keep this!
This is all my stuff. Not yours.
Your stuff is over there.
I don't take milk tea. Any black tea?
Whose phone is it? I’m charging mine.
That’s mine. Don’t unplug it.
- My phone has died. - Mine’s got just 20% battery.
My phone's dead.
Thank you.
Jolly, buy a mosquito repellent. Didn’t you all get bitten last night?
- What’s your name? - Manikandan.
Hey, I wasn't bitten.
Non-vegetarians have a higher body heat.
That attracts mosquitoes.
What’s wrong? Why are you so serious?
It's nothing.
- Nervous about the performance? - No.
Why is there only one lady in this play?
- This play is like that… - Sir…
Is it about to start?
No, no. Carry on.
See...
Cijin might pull some stunt.
- To check the girl out. - Let him try.
Look at the camera. Smile.
- All good? - Yeah.
Ready?
It’s not fair to click a selfie without the hero.
Come!
He's only interested in being photographed.
Move.
I came to get you. Sir is looking for you.
- Why? - What's the matter?
- I don’t know. - He seems really upset.
I’ve been longing to take a picture with Selvan.
Come on.
Say cheese, everyone.
Hari, you’re blocking the others.
Really? That’s because you’re short. Move to the back.
Give it to me. Once more. Now everyone, smile.
Look here and smile.
I can’t fit everyone in the frame.
It doesn't have a wide angle! Whose bloody phone is this?
You’ve got a terrible phone.
Let me try mine.
See? Look here. Now look!
See the difference?
Can someone click it for god-sake?
Shorties come forward. Aji and Anjali, come to the front.
Vinay. You, too.
Just take the picture. Don’t get on my nerves!
Click the photo.
Such unnecessary inferior feelings.
- To hell with the photo. - Everybody, smile!
[In English] You can only expand on the possibilities...
and the suggestive structures the playwright allows you to.
- Sir. - Yes, Cijin?
Hari said you called me.
It’s fun when young boys play such tricks.
But you’re a father to a three-year-old.
Goodness!
You’ve seen the girl, right? Now, go.
- Hari said you called me. - Go!
Don’t you dare do such pranks again!
Who the fuck are you!
Are you threatening me?
Did I startle you? Did I?
Come on, you are a man!
Don’t get scared so easily.
- What's going on? - Nothing, Aji.
- We’re having fun. - Leave him alone.
Just fun. What a shame.
Slowly turn around. Lower your head and bend backwards.
Stretch again… to the other side.
And when we slowly come closer to this position,
Our shadows will look like we’re kissing.
Right?
I have nothing new to say.
For the next hour and a half...
Keep your minds focused on your characters...
onstage and offstage.
Don't be complacent, thinking you've played the role over forty times.
Jolly, mind your neck.
Don’t roll it too much.
Keep in mind that we soon have to perform in Delhi.
That’s all.
Do your best. It’ll turn out well.
- Sir, I want to say something. - Please.
A few of my filmmaker friends have agreed to come.
I’m not sure they will. But I’ve asked them to come.
And there are some foreigners as well.
So, If you...
I mean, if we...
perform well, many of us will benefit. Got it?
As sir said, let's do it well. All the best!
All the best
Kapilan!
I’m not Kapilan!
I’m Devadathan!
You can’t be Devadathan!
Your words are unpleasant

Liar!
I won’t be carried away by your demonic ways.

Why not?
Your ego is louder than your hymns
Sever it!
Sever everything that smells of the ego.
- What’s the matter? - I'll tell you.
He has our photos from the play.
But he’ll only share them if we pay him.
So we’re paying him handsomely!
- Go on. - 181613
Got it?
Still holding onto her photo? Beware of Nandan.
Give me the damn phone!
Done? Okay! See you.
We watch all your movies. You are awesome!
- She’s your biggest fan! - Thank you so much.
Please stop playing the villain and play the hero instead.
Yea, they are coming soon!
Hope you liked the play. Thank you!
The director is here.
- Is everyone here? - Yes, Sir.
They are Hari’s friends.
Chris Trevor...
and his wife Emily.
Hello.
They wanted to congratulate you in person.
You can tell them. Please.
I’ve seen a few plays here in India but this one really stands out.
Very rooted and yet very contemporary.
I mean, it’s such a spectacle.
You know... the lights, the music.
This man, what a director!
What a Director!
- Selvan, did you understand? - What was that end bit?
As if you got any of it!
He said the play was wonderful. Say thanks. Relax!
Thank you, Sir.
So, where’s the lady of the play?
Anjali!
Hi!
You know... I think I have a bias to the lady of the play.
I think she outdid all of you men.
Were you dancing or flying, darling?
Sorry?
Were you dancing or flying?
She’s saying we men weren’t as good as Anjali.
Come on, Madan!
Anjali has been in this group from a very young age.
Sixteen or seventeen?
- Sixteen. - Sixteen? Wow! Very nice!
- Vinay also. - We… We both came together.
- We were in school. - Okay…
- Hari. - Yeah?
Should you tell them about the dinner... Or should I?
Yeah, I will.
They have a property in Fort Kochi.
Great ambience!
So they are here to invite all of us to spend the night there.
They plan to throw us a party.
That sounds great!
They don’t have any guests tonight. It’s fully vacant.
So we'll all sleep there and part in the morning.
You are a sweetheart Hari!
Let’s have a ball tonight!
Awesome! Great!
Anjali!
You frightened me, Prasant!
- Congrats! - For what?
Everyone is talking about your performance.
Oh.
You were fantastic!
I feel good about it too.
Everything somehow fell into place, right?
True.
Are you free?
I have something to tell you. Just two minutes.
Ah, I am free...
But I must return Shajitha her clothes right away.
No problem.
- We’ll talk later? - It’s okay.
Okay.
It’s fine. We’ll take an Uber.
- It’s too late. - 7.45 is not too late.
Invites like these don’t come often.
Don’t be a spoilsport. Go with them.
Oh no! You guys are stinking.
Spray it on!
Let me spray him first. He’s too smelly.
Your perfume gives me an itch.
That's enough!
Prashanth! Come here.
Doesn’t this belong to Hari?
So what? It's mine now.
Jolly. Three bottles of booze? Aren’t you tempted?
I am.
But I promised her I wouldn’t drink.
Don’t get bullied by her.
Athira made you quit smoking for two years, remember?
Don’t talk about that bitch.
But you still keep the bitch’s photo.
Aren’t you worried?
What if Nandan sees it?
I don't care.
He made us pose for it. He took the photo.
He clicked it as well.
Jolly!
That's a lot of booze.
Are you sure that sir will go with the foreigners?
I don’t want to drink in his presence.
He’ll go for sure. He wouldn’t want to curb our freedom.
Let's go.
[In English] The place looks beautiful.
Oh! Thank you so much. I’m happy to hear that.
This is Maria. She will be your caretaker for tonight.
And please make yourselves at home and really enjoy yourselves.
- And we’ll be seeing you in the morning. - Sure!
And just Hari… make sure nobody eats on the bed.
Sure, sure! Guess he caught your standards.
And... One more thing.
What is this?
- Have fun, guys! - Wow!
Thank you, Chris. Thank you so much!
More booze!
Thank you so much!
Aha, is she already in bed?
Why don’t you look around?
I don’t want to.
I’m sleepy. I don't want to see the place.
We're raising a monk here.
Right?
I’ll sleep on the couch.
You two can sleep peacefully in the bed.
I’m happy you came.
No need for sacrifices. We three will easily fit in the bed.
You’re sleeping in the bed.
Okay!
Yes?
Sir, do you think Hari is better than me in the role?
No. I don't have any such thoughts.
It took me 14 years to play the hero’s role.
And to give that to somebody who’s been with us only for two years..
Agreed, he’s a film actor... But he’s an amateur in theatre.
You said you were going to just try him out for a stage or two.
But this was the ninth.
Before he joined us, we hardly performed three plays in a year.
Once I made him the hero, this is the ninth show in 7 months.
He has great value in the market. He’s a real crowd puller.
He’s the reason you all are better paid now.
So...
I better shed my hopes, right sir?
Vinay.
You’re only thinking about yourself.
All right, sir.
Listen. Deposit it on the 7th. Not before.
They should pay me on the 5th.
Bank it on the 7th to be on the safe side.
You never know with film folk and money.
Hey...
Thank you.
This is a huge help.
I’ll return it. But give me some time.
Never mind! Take your own time.
But do me a favour.
Don't tell the others for God’s sake.
Or dozens will come borrowing.
Come on, time for a drink.
Can I tell you something?
Hari has many movies releasing.
Sure he’ll quit theatre soon.
I don’t think he’ll turn up for the Delhi show either.
I don’t want that role because of his generosity.
Oh my! Somebody is seriously dejected.
I have the right medicine for you.
Better?
That is some medicine!
It’s a Steroid.
Only one dose though.
Six months. Or a year. Take your time.
I’ll wait for you.
One minute.
It’s Shajitha. I should answer.
She must be looking for you. She’ll get suspicious about us.
Well, let her.
- You don’t have a problem with that? - No.
- No problem?- - Not at all.
Come on, sing! Let’s make it fun!
Set the pitch! Pitch is everything.
Hey Jolly, play the pitch on that speaker.
- Wait. - You smoking already?
- Did you ask for vodka? - Yeah.
- This is the last one. - Whatever!
The speaker is connected to someone’s phone.
- Let me check. - Whose phone is this?
- Never mind! Just sing! - Okay, okay.
Pour me a drink.
A lake shore full of romance
Long ago, one evening, as the sky turned red
Superb!
A beautiful woman, wearing a halo
Bloomed like a morning flower
And spread into my soul
Your turn!
Girl, why won’t you smile?
Who doesn’t smile?
Why won’t you, girl?
Who are you, girl?
Girl, why won’t you smile?
Is it because you have no anklet bells?
Is it because you have no nose-ring?
Why doesn’t this girl smile?
- You drank vodka? - No, whisky.
That was wonderful!
There’s no point in asking me the same thing again and again.
I’m stone sober! I promise.
Okay. Who’s there?
Everyone.
See.
- Can you see? - Oh! Anjali drinks?
Sure! She can drink like a fish.
Wait.
- I’ll put Shajitha on. She’ll tell you. - Is he drunk, Shajitha?
He hasn’t touched a drop. Don’t worry.
I don’t trust these guys.
He doesn’t break his promises.
- Right, Jolly? - Yeah!
What else? When are you coming back?
- Hello. - Hi.
- How are you?- I’m fine.
You have nothing better to do?
Ask Anjali to wear her clothes properly.
You need to give men their space. Or they get sneaky.
You and I know him well!
Look at her! Dead drunk but still standing.
How’s life in Bhopal? Is it good?
It's fine.
This little pond beckons me.
Oh God!
A show is about to begin here.
I can’t wait any more.
Bye bye!
Whose phone is this?
He jumped in!
Hey, no. I'll jump in on my own.
- Come, Aji. - I’ll jump in myself.
Don't push!
Prashanth!
- No, the cheque is in my pocket. - Put it away then!
Why are you hiding in that corner?
No way!
Hey…!
Hey!
No. I don't know how to swim!
Hey you!
Hey!
What the hell have you done?
What’s with you, man? It’s just fun. Let’s enjoy.
What’s your problem? Look at her!
Damn it! I'm sober again. The pool was a bad idea.
- In the mood for another drink? - Always!
I saw more bottles in Hari’s car. But I don't feel like asking him.
- In his car, right? - Yes.
We can get it without asking.
- We only need the car keys, right? - Right.
Let's see.
Common, the game is not over yet.
Bye.
Anjali!
Yeah.
Can you spare a moment?
It’s something personal.
Prasanth… shame on you.
I know what you’re about to say.
I can’t think of you like in that way.
Forget about it. Right now.
Let me go sleep.
I’m really tipsy.
Hari, can I have a cigarette?
I don’t have any.
Come on! I feel like a smoke.
When I feel like it, I never get one.
Here you go.
But it’s empty.
I told you!
Come on. Give me a cigarette.
There’s a packet in the car.
Take it.
But where are the keys?
In that basket on the dining table.
Take only one.
I’m happy with one.
Goodness Delna!
Hari was talking nonsense. I can’t help it.
I’m stone cold sober!
Please take my call. We can talk about it.
Please… just take the call.
Fuck it!
"The Bluetooth device is connected successfully."
[playing on bluetooth speaker]
Hey...
She has a mild fever. I haven't turned on the AC.
No problem. Take a rest.
We’re leaving in half an hour.
Get ready soon!
Shajitha, wake your husband up.
I’ll wake the girl up.
Chris and Emily will be here soon. A quick thanks and we’re off.
Gotta get back to work.
Anjali left early this morning. She took a cab around 5.30.
She said there was an emergency at work.
- At 5.30 a.m.? - Yes.
- Is the little one sick? - She has a fever.
Okay, then.
“The person you’re calling is not responding. Please try later."
Hey.
I spoke to your father-in-law...
He wants to claim half of the wedding expenses from you.
I’m happy to pay.
What he’s asking for is fair.
But I need some more time.
Don’t worry about that, Vinay...
Dad is just annoyed about our divorce plans.
Give it a week and things will calm down.
Same with the court! 6 months of counseling is just to cool people down.
But if you both plan to wave it off-
'Anjali New'
This divorce could be mutual for you.
Families need time to let things sink in.
Go ahead with the counselling.
We don’t intend to trouble anyone.
Bloody hell!
You should've told me that very morning.
I would’ve cornered that bastard.
I’ve been calling you for the last two days!
Why the hell didn’t you pick up?
You never pick up!
Seriously? You’re taking it out on me now?
I still haven’t recovered from the shock!
I understand.
Anjali, leave it to me. I know what to do.
He’s the one who should leave the group. Not you.
I promise I’ll get him kicked out.
Vinay, please. I don’t want all that.
I don’t want to tell anyone about it.
That’s the last thing I want.
You don’t have to say a thing. I’ll do it.
But… you are sure it was him, right?
You want to see some proof?
Madan.
Sudha will do the dishes and prepare food too.
Let her know if you want her to come every day.
The clothes are all over on the bed upstairs.
Fold them when you get time.
- Here. - It’s okay, madam.
Come on! Give him too.
Madam.
Madam, is your husband is a theatre actor?
I saw his photo in the papers the other day.
Don't be silly! It’s just a hobby.
Have you heard ofThe Hindu?
He worked there as an editor for many years.
Sorry Madam... I didn’t mean it in a bad way.
Now go ahead and bitch about me in your canteen.
Still eating? Open the door!
Hey Vinay! It’s been ages! What’s up?
All good! Where are you headed?
I’m off to Calicut for a raid.
I might get a promotion if things go well.
I must go. I’m getting late.
Is Madan home?
He’s inside. Trying to butter up the Gods.
See you.
So, why aren’t you saying anything?
I’m in shock.
I don’t mind taking this up.
But isn't it wrong to tell everyone...
that she spoke to 'me' about this?
Try to understand. She’s trying to get legal help.
I’ve calmed her down somehow.
She’s in no state to talk about it.
She was devastated when she spoke to me.
You’re right. It’ll be torture for her to keep repeating the story.
Correct! You are the most senior in our group.
They’ll take it seriously only if you address this issue.
Only then will we have a solution.
Isn't this a starfruit?
Yes.
Madan, who are you calling?
Anjali...
I don’t want to trouble you, my dear.
Vinay is here.
He has told me everything.
I’ll call a group meeting tomorrow.
We’ll make a decision.
It did happen, right?
That’s all, my dear.
Now she has spoken to ‘me’! Right?
Tomorrow is a Sunday. We’ll call everyone here.
Sounds good.
Aji. It’s a tiny balloon-like thing.
It’s called a saccular aneurysm.
The risk of a rupture is high since it’s in the brain.
It can go unruptured for a lifetime,
but in your case...
Compared to the previous scan, the bulge has widened.
The bulging has widened.
That’s why it is risky.
But why does it have to be in my head?
There could be multiple factors.
Hypertension is one.
- You used to smoke, right? - Yeah.
Smoking can be a major cause.
Could be hereditary... or even stress...
Let's call it fate.
What can I do about it, doctor?
Drivers don't get to choose their holidays, Madan.
Okay, I'll check with my boss.
Athira…
Don’t lean on that headrest. Your hair is dripping with oil.
If Sir finds out...
I’ll lose my job!
Who was that on the phone?
Seems fishy.
Say that again? Intermittent fasting.
Avoid sugar completely. In one month your belly fat will melt like butter.
Really? One minute.
Hello Madan.
I’m at the temple. Shall I call you back?
Okay, tell me fast!
I’ll come straight from the shop. I’ll pick up Santhosh on the way.
I’ll come by 11.30. See you there. Okay.
Doctor, let me tell you something now.
You say I'll be done in 20 minutes if the balloon bursts. Let it be.
There’s something fascinating about that.
I don’t have the time or the money for treatment.
Let’s pretend this conversation never happened.
- I hope everyone’s been called. - Did you call Selvan?
Oh!
Ask him not to tell that asshole, or there’ll be chaos.
Why isn't he called? I don’t understand.
All right.
Hey!
One thing at a time! Finish your call, then massage me.
- Vinay! - Yes?
Once we raise it in the group, there’s no going back.
He will defend himself, I’m sure.
I hope Anjali won't back out.
What nonsense!
She was about to call the police and post it on Facebook.
Why the hell would she back out?
I'm just anxious.
Alright!
Goodnight. See you tomorrow.
Goodnight.
Listen.
First let’s find out what it’s all about.
We’ll only buy booze if everyone contributes.
No need to buy booze.
Why not?
I said, no need to 'buy' booze.
-Isn’t that Madan’s friend? -I think so.
Madan, the sealant has worn out. I’ve fixed it for now.
Don’t use the toilet today.
This photo is sharp.
-Cijin looks very pleased. -No other paper has featured it.
- Such a fantastic write-up! - Hey, when did you get here?
You guys were smoking there, right?
I just passed by right in front of you. Didn't you see me?
Everyone's happy.
Madan!
Sit down.
Selvan! Grab a chair.
Is everyone here?
I'll try my best.
Is Prasanth here?
Not yet.
- Jolly, call Prasanth. - No need. I’m here.
Bad traffic on the bridge.
Forget the story. Sit down.
Be careful. It’s hot.
Why a steel glass for me? Stop such distinctions.
I made coffee just for him and he still complains!
Don't drink it then.
Aji, sit here. I can't stand his face.
Grow up guys!
What was that?
A coconut fell on the roof.
Madan, now tell us why we are here.
Everyone’s curious.
-Tell. -OK.
Is everyone here?
I told you all that Hari is busy with a shoot and can’t come.
Truth is - I didn’t call him because this meeting is about him.
What is it?
- Something has happened. - What?
Anjali came to see me yesterday.
- She came here? - Yes.
Last Sunday we were all at the resort, right?
Anjali told me that Hari misbehaved with her that night.
Misbehaved?
Misbehaved - as in? Did he insult her or something?
Such matters can be brought to a compromise.
But this is something even worse.
While she was asleep, that filthy prick groped her.
What the...!
Wonderful! This was the one thing that has never happened in our group.
Check it off now.
When you took Hari’s name, I knew something nasty had happened.
But when did this happen?
Sudheer, I told you…
She hasn't taken my call for the last three days.
Now I know why.
I can't believe he'd do such a thing.
But he did.
Madan, what exactly did she tell you?
Around 2.30 at night, she was sleeping on a sofa by the window.
Not sure if he was just passing by, or he went there deliberately.
But that's when it happened.
He put his hand through the window and groped her.
So it happened in her sleep?
Not when she was awake?
She was asleep.
So she didn’t see who it was.
She clearly saw him running away.
Did she say the window was open?
Cijin, he’s not a cop to cross-examine her.
- Can only cops ask such questions? - It was silly anyway.
Listen… he is well capable of doing that.
I was once his driver right, hoping to be in the movies.
Such bawdy jokes he was into. I can't tell you.
Stop talking rot!
I’m gonna belt this bugger one day.
How do we face her again?
Wonderful!
A girl who’s been with us for 16 years
was groped by an asshole who joined us only two years ago,
and we’re being frivolous about it?
Exactly! Bring him here and let’s beat the shit out of him.
Aji, there’s no point in being emotional about it.
We've just heard about it. We should discuss more.
Right!
Discussions are our forte, right?
Santhosh...
She’s the only one in this group who cares to call me to check on me.
So yes, I am emotional about this.
Beat him up if you want.
But it must be a unanimous decision. That’s my point.
Santhosh, listen to this...
if he did it, he didn’t care that we were all there that night.
We are just buffoons for him.
- Guess you had a slip of tongue! - What?
You said 'if' he did it.
So we need to make sure he did it.
Oh!
What are you trying to say?
Are you saying he didn’t do it to her?
We are not arguing about that.
But a mere accusation isn't enough.
When it comes to Anjali, that’s more than enough.
See, we're dealing with a serious matter.
She was in tears when she told me about it.
The girl is in a state of shock. Try and understand that.
Hey! Where are you going?
Carry on. I’ll be right back.
Prasanth, we are discussing something serious.
I feel uneasy after hearing all this.
I need a smoke.
Another excuse for him to smoke!
Hey.
Hey Jolly.
Hari and you were sharing the same room that night, right?
- Hari, Sanosh and me. - We shared the same room.
- Was he very drunk? - Somewhat.
That’s it! A sober mind would not do such a thing.
We should stop drinking.
You’ve all been drinking too much recently.
And you know it.
He didn’t do it because he was drunk.
The truth is that alcohol brought out his true nature.
Exactly!
We were all drunk, for that matter.
You and I don’t drink.
Were you drunk, Jolly?
- He quit drinking. - Right!
Except for us three, all the others were drunk.
Anjali was drunk too.
So what?
Just reminding you since you were doing a count.
Yeah, she was drunk too.
This wasn’t the first time we’ve partied together.
Have we ever misbehaved with her?
Forget about misbehaving...
Has any one of us even thought of her in that way?
No right?
So don’t blame it on alcohol.
Blame it on him.
- Madan, did she tell you in person? - Yes, she did.
When?
Yesterday. Why make him repeat it?
I’m not being suspicious… But I disagree with something...
Today is Sunday. It happened last Sunday.
Why did it take her so long to tell us? She could’ve told one of us the next day.
Why did she keep silent for a whole week?
What’s that fucking question?
Someone groped her breasts. Damn it!
It wasn’t a purse she lost to sing out to you the next day.
Who talked about breasts? Madan never said anything.
He’s mouthing off at me!
You dumbhead!
That’s what groping means! Does Madan have to spell it out?
I can call you names too. Don’t you dare!
Out with it!
- Cijin... - Tell him!
I don't like his tone. Wait, let me finish.
He sounded wrong from the beginning!
There are seniors here. Let them talk.
Who are you to talk?
This was meant to be a damn discussion.
- Leave it, man. - Stop bossing around!
- You sit. - Sit down.
Sit down. Let’s talk it through.
You veterans discuss it then.
- Cijin... Stop it. - Tell him!
- We always do this. - Sit down.
Is it over now? Done with the drama?
Let me tell you what I think.
If this ever goes public, we’ll all die of shame.
Both Anjali and Hari are dear to us.
So we should call them here.
Talk to them and then reach a compromise.
That’s my opinion. Now don’t jump down my throat.
Santhosh, we've gathered here to speak our minds.
So let’s talk.
Sudheer, why are you so silent?
Sudheer.
He should be expelled at once.
Don't we have 'Arangu's' letterhead?
Write the dismissal matter, get it sealed by Sir.
Give Hari his notice. That's the first step.
Other investigations can wait.
This is my decision. Not my opinion.
Don’t go. Sit down.
I’m not going anywhere. I need a smoke.
Or I might feel like beating him up myself.
Don’t be long. Ask Prasanth to come back inside.
Madan! Sudheer is right.
We can’t have Hari in the group anymore.
Sudheer looks as if we did something wrong.
Remember the havoc he created in Hyderabad in Jolly’s name?
In the end he’s always the good one.
Santhosh!
The idea of compromising was so naive.
I use that with kids at school.
By compromise, I didn’t mean baby talk or gentle advice.
This should not come out. No matter what.
If this ever did - it would mean the end of our group.
Bear that in mind.
We just heard about it, and we're gonna dismiss him?
Is it right?
Sudheer is our close friend,
but I don’t support his suggestion.
This is precisely what we want.
Everyone should talk freely.
And give their opinions.
Madan, when it comes to something like this, we need to clarify things.
So it isn’t right to fly into a rage.
Can we think for the girl now?
A little empathy would be good.
Madan!
Isn’t that the inverter sound?
The battery is low, I guess.
Where is it? I’ll take a look.
It’s upstairs. I’ll show you.
What’s with Prasanth today?
He is usually very outspoken.
What was all that noise?
Cijin and Vinay are arguing.
Well, Cijin has got a sharp tongue.
I was thinking of calling Anjali.
Not now. Let's first come to a decision.
So yes, Hari called me a couple of days back.
He asked if I knew any caterers for his kid’s birthday party.
He seemed very casual. He didn’t sound awkward at all.
Yes. He called me too.
Random chat.
And some movie gossip as usual.
I was all ears.
After we returned from the resort, he called me too.
He wanted to know the price of a folk drum.
Like you said, he sounded relaxed.
I am wondering.
Is it possible to be so casual, after doing such an obscene thing?
It doesn’t make sense. I have my doubts.
That’s called good acting!
You didn’t get it?
He called you guys to see whether you had heard anything.
Let Madan come. I have something to say.
He’s a very tricky man.
How long has he been in our group?
- Two-and-a-half-years. - Two-and-a-half-years...
He grabbed the hero’s role in no time at all.
Not a simple task.
Vinay used to play the hero so well.
Hari has ruined it.
No, Aji.
The group did benefit from his arrival..
Jolly, What’s the problem?
The battery water must’ve dried up. We've to remove the casing.
Jolly, is Hari’s marriage in trouble?
How would I know?
You see them often.
Come on, Cijin...
Fixing their plumbing doesn't mean I know about their personal problems.
I do my job, get paid and go home.
I don’t pry into their lives.
There are no lights blinking.
Please check it tomorrow. Power cuts are common here.
Don’t forget. Okay.
All right.
- Is it broken? - It needs fixing.
Yeah... needs fixing.
Madan, you must be sterner.
They are going haywire.
Did you hear them carry on about compromise?
We can only present the problem. We can't decide for them.
Let them speak!
Why did you put on an act when I started talking?
An act? Meaning?
“Did Hari insult her or something?”
I had to pretend I was hearing it for the first time.
Yes, but don’t overdo it.
Here. I found it.
If this ever came out,
we’ll never get a female artist agreeing to joining our group.
No one fancies acting on stage anymore as it is.
Do you think she’ll keep quiet about this?
She’s won’t let it go. if it happened at all.
What do you mean 'if it happened'?
Would she lie about such a thing?
- She would. She could. - Right, Santhosh?
Don't be silly.
I know what you’re talking about. This is far from it.
What’s that story?
It happened long ago.
Aji and Selvan know about it. Remember the marriage issue?
Oh that...
Don’t you know, Sudheer?
Not until someone tells me.
I’ll tell you.
It happened four years ago.
I received a marriage proposal from Anjali’s cousin's family.
I met the family and we liked each other.
It was almost confirmed.
After two weeks they rejected me.
You know why?
Anjali didn’t want it to happen.
Tell them what she said about me.
She said he has a bad temper and smokes weed all the time.
I hadn’t touched that shit in all my life.
How did you know that Anjali said it?
Her brother told me. He was a friend.
Didn’t you confront her?
What for? She was not interested in having me in her family.
So she put an end to it. And I didn’t persist.
This is what...
Ah, these women! They always think about what benefits them.
You’re screwed if you trust them.
Sanosh!
It’s better to avoid such statements. You shouldn’t talk like that.
But that’s been my experience. I’m a martyr!
Whatever! Don’t drag your personal affairs into this discussion.
You’d be fired if you spoke like that in an office.
I am not getting fired here, am I?
Stop talking like that anywhere.
I have my freedom of speech.
Yes, you do. But freedom comes with a sense of responsibility.
You can patronize the kids at your school. But not me.
The inverter isn't working.
Nothing’s wrong with the battery.
Call the electricity board.
I can call, but they won't pick up.
Then let's sit outside. It’s too hot in here.
That’s right. Let’s go.
Sudheer, wasn't she in Shajitha's room that night?
- Yes. - Did Shajitha know anything?
- Did she say something? - Exactly!
Usually, the roommate will come to know.
What do you mean ‘usually’?
- Have you ever been groped? - Why would anyone grope me?
- I am a man! - Really?
What do you mean usually...
- Stop bickering about everything. - Leave it.
When I spoke to Shajitha,
She said that
Anjali was worried about something at work
so she took an uber and left very early.
- Nothing else? - No, that’s all she said.
So the next step is to inform Sir as soon as possible.
Exactly! Let him take a decision.
No, Selvan. We should decide and then let him know.
Anjali would not have told Madan if she wanted sir to decide.
She wanted us to decide.
We must tell sir the matter this evening.
He’s flying out tomorrow.
- To Nepal? - Yeah, Nepal.
So let’s not drag this out.
Tell me your decision about Hari, one by one.
- Can I ask something? - Yes.
You are very close to Anjali,
why didn’t she tell you first?
Exactly what I had in mind!
But who am I to ask, right?
Yes, we are very close.
She tried calling me several times.
I was in the middle of counseling, I couldn’t take the call.
I had no clue she was calling to tell me about this.
Come on! How would he know?
Now tell me what to do with Hari.
I've already told you. Expel him!
People should know we expelled him as soon as we found out.
A girl accuses someone and we chuck him out immediately.
Is that right?
Did you just say 'a girl'?
Hey, Sanosh!
Is Anjali just any girl?
She's one of us!
We must hear his side of the story before deciding. That’s all I meant.
Do you mean to expel him permanently? Or temporarily?
What's on your mind, Sudheer?
He should be expelled forever.
I don't support that. I agree what he did was despicable.
He deserves to be punished.
So suspend him for six months or a year.
And when she has calmed down and is willing to forgive him,
we’ll bring him back. This is what I think.
Yea right! Jesus Christ is back I guess.
Forgive him! Like hell. Wake up, man.
Stop arguing. I was only voicing my opinion.
I’m doing the same thing.
He doesn’t deserve to be forgiven.
He must be expelled. That’s what I believe.
Sure! Everyone knows your reasoning.
Stop it, Santhosh! Let's not digress.
No, no. Wait. Say that again?
Why should I say? It's no secret.
Oh! I was wondering why no one brought it up before.
You mean I have grudge against Hari for taking my lead role.
That’s it, right?
Even if it involved my own father, my opinion wouldn’t change.
He should be expelled.
Bullshit.
Okay! Okay! Next.
Jolly?
Don’t cross-question when someone's speaking.
- Go ahead, Jolly. - Let others talk. I’ll tell you later.
I see it in a different light.
In a way, we played a part in what Hari did to Anjali.
- What part? - You want to know?
He’s been with us for over two years now.
If Hari still had the mind to grope a fellow actor, we better quit theatre
and do some farming instead. That's more dignified.
- Can I tell you something? - Let me finish. Don’t interrupt.
We never considered him one of us.
That’s why this happened.
Doesn’t matter what sort of a person he is.
We are a theatre group, yet we failed to bring about a change in him.
Let's accept that first.
How is it possible to know a person inside out? Be practical.
You said not to cross-question.
Let him speak.
I didn’t ask you to know him inside out.
I meant that our art hasn’t reformed him.
Got it?
Have you finished?
- Yes. - What are you trying to say?
- Should we throw him out or not? - Throw him out or keep him?
Isn’t there something better we can do, as artists!
Selvan…
Forget art and crap!
Can’t you think like a commoner?
That’s what we’re doing. If this had happened in a flat or a club,
how would a commoner react?
Is being a commoner enough is my question.
Your principles are easier said than done!
Put yourself in her place.
I have only one thing to say.
He groped her today. He’ll do something worse tomorrow.
He’s that kind of man. You don’t really know him well.
Prasanth.
Don’t ask me, Madan.
I’ll go with the group’s decision.
I have nothing else to say.
Cijin.
Hari has insulted me a lot.
I really don't like him.
But we can’t just go by what she says.
- So what can we do? - Prove it!
Let things clear up. Don’t rush into a decision.
Prove it? Who should prove it to whom?
She should prove to us that he did it.
Don’t you want any proof??
What a great idea!
After what she has gone through, she must now prove it?
A girl was groped in the middle of the night. What proof do you want?
I don't know... Like...
Sudheer’s wife was in her room that night. She can be a witness.
Did the resort have CCTV?
Have any of you seen it?
CCTV! Bullshit!
Who’ll check the CCTV?
We’d have to call the police. They won’t give us the footage.
For the sake of the group, it's best we don’t drag the police into this.
Am I right, Sudheer?
Absolutely!
There are a few things you should know.
If she files a case against him,
it falls under Section 354, which is a non-bailable offence.
He’ll be arrested.
Once they arrest Hari and since we were all there too,
the police will question all of us. Think about it.
Madan, he hasn’t acted in many movies but he’s already a celebrity.
If this news leaks out, the media will love it.
Our group’s name will be said a thousand times in the news.
We’re lucky she didn’t take the matter to the police.
Okay, then.
I've said everything I had to. I have an online meeting now.
Maximum twenty minutes. Carry on with the discussion.
- Jolly hasn’t said anything. - What’s your decision?
I’m not sure what to say.
Why not?
Remember.
We once had a meeting like this in Hyderabad
to remove me from the group. I had messed up.
Hari was in the meeting too.
But you guys didn’t throw me out that day.
- You gave me another chance. - So?
How can I ask someone who supported me to leave the group?
Oh!
Jolly, you just got into a brawl. This is sexual harassment.
How can you compare? He’s talking nonsense.
- I know that. - Then what?
Whatever the group decides, I am for it.
So, who wants Hari to be expelled?
Vinay.
Nandan, Aji, Sudheer
and me. Total 5.
Make it 6. I can’t deal with the police and stuff.
That makes it 6. Five left.
Prasanth and Jolly said they’ll stand by the group's decision.
How lame!
They should have their own opinion.
It’s okay. Give them time to think.
So, order your lunch on Swiggy.
Come on. Let’s go smoke.
Hey.
Call me too.
We are one when we smoke.
Dude...
Cijin and Sanosh are stupidly stubborn.
Yeah.
Madan is putting on a great act. How did you convince him?
He knew I couldn’t pull it off.
Did you see how Santosh brought up my issue with Hari?
Does Madan know that I know?
No, he doesn't! Don’t give him that impression.
No, never.
Come.
Listen…
Do they know you came here yesterday?
No one will know unless you tell them.
Prasanth!
Over here.
- Rice for lunch, alright? - Yes, with chicken.
We're screwed anyway.
Madan won't allow meat in the house.
-Where did you get this? -I always have it stocked up.
Here's to a truce!
Don't worry about Madan, I got it from his secret stash.
Oh Vodka. So it won't reek.
Cijin!
Don't take it to heart.
I said it in the heat of the moment. Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I was puzzled when you lashed out.
I’m sorry too. I think I got on your nerves.
I heard you talking about the marriage proposal.
What you believe is not true.
Anjali never had a problem with you.
Then?
Her cousin sister was seeing a Muslim guy.
Since Anjali knew you personally,
her cousin begged her to cook up a story,
so her parents would call it off themselves.
Anjali had to finally give in.
Really?
Why would I lie?
Anjali could've told me.
I did tell her that, but she was scared.
He really liked that girl...
and back then he was he was new to the group.
She wasn't sure how he’d react.
So all that led to the lovely family I now have.
That's the spirit!
You've taken a load off my mind.
Santhosh, isn't Neha in the 9th grade now?
No. She's in the 11th grade.
If Hari had done this to Neha,
would you suspend him for six months and take him back again?
Would you?
Hello. Laurels Cottage?
Am I speaking to Maria?
Thirteen of us stayed there last Sunday.
Yes. That's right.
I forgot my watch there by mistake - on the table next to the step.
Did you find it?
Oh you didn't?
It was an expensive watch.
Oh no! Never meant you took it.
Did you have any guests there this week?
I see. Do you have CCTV by any chance?
I don't have anything against her, she's really cool.
But shouldn't we ask him before making such an important decision?
That's just my point.
All right! What will happen if you asked him?
I have no idea.
He will never accept it.
Then Anjali will be forced to take legal action.
The news spreads and our group will suffer.
If we expel him, won't he make it into an issue?
Never! It will put an end to his movie career.
He keeps quiet, we keep quiet.
If this ever leaks out, world should only know one thing.
We expelled him as soon as we knew about it.
That’s what is best for the group.
Think about it! You need to think about the group as well.
“Respected Sir,
“As you know, after our play this past Sunday,
“we actors had a party at the cottage in Fort Kochi.
“Yesterday Anjali complained to Madan,
“the group coordinator,
“that Hari sexually assaulted her that night.
“The complaint was that Hari groped Anjali's breast
“while she was sleeping near the window.
“In a meeting held here today with the other members,
“it has been confirmed that the complaint is true.
“Sir, this is a serious case of sexual harassment
“which could destroy the very foundation of our group.
“Therefore, we request you as director
“to immediately expel Hari from the group.”
“Sir, Everyone will sign this letter with full conviction
“that you will stand by us in this decision.
“Yours sincerely…”
Sounds good.
That's why I made him read it out.
Isn’t this enough?
Yes. We will tell sir personally anyway.
Give the letter only after you’ve spoken to sir directly.
This is just a formality. Nothing more.
I have signed.
Gotta see Hari after all this!
Filthy dog!
Personally I don't agree with this.
But I don't want to cause trouble for the group.
Another friendship comes to an end.
You have heard the letter once.
I don't mind signing it. This is for sir, right?
Yes.
-Shouldn't we inform Anjali about this? -Yes.
Madan will let her know once we’re done.
That's not enough, Madan.
She should only know that this decision was unanimous.
So we feel that we should call her here and tell her directly.
By “we” do you mean the two of you?
Sanosh, Cijin, Selvan and I are of the same opinion.
Okay!
Santhosh, we'll let her know. But why bring her here?
That's not how it is, Vinay.
Initially, a few of us had different views about this matter.
That’s part of a discussion and she shouldn't know that.
She should know that we made this decision together.
Why create heroes and villains?
That's not needed.
Come on! She's never going to know what we discussed here.
- Don't make egoistical decisions! - You can't say that.
What about the Jolly incident?
Madan, Sudheer and Hari were the saints who forgave him.
And we became the bad guys. Ask him.
Jolly won't deny it.
Whatever! It is not right to call Anjali here.
-Why not? -She'll have a hard time facing us.
Same for us as well.
What is there to explain anyway?
Cijin, just sign it if you care.
Anyway, don't even think of calling Anjali here.
You don't decide that.
Santhosh said: "'Selvan' is of the same opinion".
I am Selvan.
I asked them to call her here.
Only if she is okay with it.
I'll call her.
All right. Do whatever you want!
Sudheer!
Stop there, Sudheer!
First comes Sir, then me, then Aji.
Know where you stand!
See this! It's fully dyed!
Don't force me to prove my seniority.
She'll take my call. I'm sure.
Call her only if she'll be relieved to see all of us.
Of course, Aji.
Only if she is comfortable coming.
Let me call her.
I’ll put it on the speaker, so everyone can hear it.
Hello.
-Selvan? -Yes, it’s me, dear.
Madan has told us everything.
We have all made a decision on that matter.
We want to tell you of our decision in person.
Can you please come here? To Madan's house.
I’ll be there. No problem.
-Hope you don't mind coming?-No, no. I'll be there.
I'm at a friend's house in Thevara.
I’ll be there in an hour and a half.
Okay, Okay.
-At Madan's house.-Okay.
Okay.
So that's sorted!
Now let's eat.
Under these circumstances asking her to come alone isn’t right.
Vinay, can you go and pick her up?
You can take my car.
I'll go.
No problem.
Don't answer their calls again!
I messaged you on WhatsApp and kept waiting for your response.
I just saw the message, Vinay.
My phone was in Serah's room.
- That's enough! -Yeah, I'm done.
Who'll play Vinay's role when Vinay plays Hari's role in Delhi?
Hey. Yes, darling?
I'll be a bit late.
We'll have to hire more actors.
Remember Sharath? He is good.
Sanosh! Bring my phone here!
Madan, it's Hari.
Call you later.
Bring it here.
Put it on speaker.
- Hey brother! - Yes?
I've got helluva news for you. Life changing news.
- Spit it out!- Not on the phone!
-Are you at home? -Yes!
I’m at Aluva. Give me 10 minutes. I'll be there.
I’m about to go out.
I have to meet someone.
Can we talk on the phone?
I'm in a hurry too.
I’m on my way to a movie location.
You'll be shocked if you hear about it.
Hang on for 10 minutes.
What? What's he talking about?
Who knows?
-Is he coming here? -You heard him!
- Why did you call him here? - He called. Not me.
Stop arguing!
Our plans will go awry if he comes now.
Do something quickly! Take all of this away.
He said ten minutes, right? Let's hide our shoes and our bikes.
Be quick!
- Keep everything behind the house. - Let's hide in that room.
Not in that room. What if he wants to use the toilet?
Let's go upstairs.
All of you stay in the room, upstairs.
Where are you running to? Help me with the chairs.
Why hide? Why not ride away on our bikes?
Nine people in three bikes?
Come on, let's triple ride!
We don't know which way he'll come. We might run into him.
-Jolly, is this Vinay's? -Yeah! Bring that too.
Take away that glass.
Shit. It's locked!
Jolly, come here, we'll have to lift it. Cijin!
Come on, fast.
Put your phones on silent.
"The Bluetooth device is connected successfully"
Your lucky day!
-Thank me first. -What is it?
Hold your horses and first say thanks.
Alright... Thanks. Tell me now.
Come.
Have you got a passport?
Tell me if you have a passport.
Yes... why?
In that case...
get ready for a three-month trip to Europe.
Not just you. We’re all going.
Our play is soon going international.
Are you drunk?
You think I'm drunk?
I'm sober as a judge.
But...
I'll drink...
tomorrow night.
We'll all have a party!
I don't understand.
You didn't get me?
It's something I've been trying for a long time.
Remember those foreigners?
Chris and Emily!
They were so impressed with our play.
They called me up this morning and said they have a surprise.
I went to see them. This was their offer:
Next January, February, March...
They are taking our team for a trip to England.
Stunned, right?
Eighteen shows in three months. That means six shows a month.
Not just England...
Finland, Denmark...
Norway.
And maybe France.
Three months make ninety days.
Say the play takes 18 days, we'll still have 72 days left.
In those seventy-two days,
We’ll have the greatest time we’ve ever had.
The best part is,
We’ll all be paid well.
Not a couple of thousands. But 800 thousand Rupees per head.
And 1.5 million Rupees for Sir.
Fortune is smiling on us all.
-Are they really serious? -Come on, man!
They even showed me the British government's invitation letter.
One minute.
Oh no! It's Deepak. The controller
Give me a moment.
Yes, Deepak..
I'll be right there. I'll apologise to him.
My co-star is waiting. Let him wait, right?
Aren’t you happy with my news?
I am... I'm stunned.
We'll get to perform at the London National Theatre.
-We'll be in London for eight days. -This is quite something.
Did you inform Sir?
No. I spoke to him over phone but didn't mention it.
I prefer to tell him in person.
-He's flying to Nepal tomorrow. -I know. That's why I came.
I'll see him tonight. You should come with me.
Sure.
January?
January will be here in a blink.
But only Prasanth and I have the passport.
That's no problem.
It takes less than a month to get one.
-Don't tell the others about this. -No, no.
Let Sir tell everyone. That's how it should be.
I came to you because I couldn't contain my excitement.
Deepak is calling.
Forget it. He's just checking in with me. Let's go.
I'm leaving now.
Oops! Forgot my phone.
I'll give you a call around 8 p.m. OK?
Meet me at Oberon Mall. We'll go to Sir's place together.
-Wait a minute. -Yes?
Three months of travel means…
-Does it include Anjali? -Come on, man!
She's our one and only heroine!
My wife might come too. Not sure yet.
Anjali will get some company.
Look at you! You look dazed.
Don't tell anyone for God’s sake.
Keep it quiet for one more day.
See you at 8. Let's go.
Hello, Madan. Hope you're well.
-Wasn’t he the movie star? -Yes. Hari.
I didn't know his name.
So... I'm not asking for votes from you.
All I promise is - I'll never spoil my father’s reputation.
Why are you all so silent?
Say something.
We're not destined for good things.
Don't say that.
It's easy to say such things.
We're trying to kick him out and he's trying to fly us out!
Is Anjali here?
She's inside.
Sit down. I'll call her.
No, I'll go in.
We need time to think.
Anjali shouldn't come now.
Madan, call Vinay quickly.
Stop him, if he hasn't reached.
- I'll call him. - Madan...
They insisted on bringing her here.
Never mind!
Where are you?
What about Anjali?
Nothing. I just called to see, if you'd got there.
How long before you're back?
Okay.
What did he say?
No luck. They've already met.
Damn it!
Why did Selvan call me?
You sound like you're the wrongdoer.
Calm down first.
So why did Selvan... call me?
I didn't tell you, because you were with Serah.
We've decided to kick that asshole out of the group.
They want to tell you in person.
They want to convince you that they're all on your side.
Simple as that.
Shouldn't we think it through?
Aji, shouldn't we think it through?
Let's go outside and think.
We'll have a smoke too. Come.
Come on!
Prashanth. Come on.
Sudheer! One minute.
Come here.
So when Madan brought it up,
I stood there like I'd heard it for the first time.
I didn't get you.
Just pretend that you didn't tell me anything.
You told Madan.
That's it.
Vinay, why are you doing this?
It's you I talked to.
That's right.
But after some thought,
I believed it was better that I don't get directly involved.
I'm not sure about it.
I have a doubt.
Take a look at this photo.
- Recognise the person? - Yeah.
Look at the time.
How can that be?
Listen...
No woman would ever lie about something like this.
Don't try to act the detective!
Got it?
Such ridiculous findings!
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello. Hello. Sudheer sir?
Why is it connected to that?
Hold on!
Yes, I can hear you!
Can you disconnect it?
I can hear you...
Yeah. Tell me.
You said you gave it some thought and decided to not get involved.
What were those thoughts?
I was thinking about us.
I didn't want you to know.
Cijin, Santhosh and Sudheer suspect our relationship.
I felt it from the way they spoke.
What's wrong if they find out about us?
It would be awesome!
If they come to know.
They'll say, this was a plot you and I made to kick Hari out of this group.
Not just now,
But, we dated for four years before you got married.
Even then, you didn't want anyone to know about us.
Why are you bringing that up now?
We've never spoken about it.
I doubt we ever will.
You've never been sure of me, right?
Anjali, let me get done with my divorce first.
Then I promise we'll tell everyone.
Will that do?
Yeah.
I'm going to say something.
I'll admit it's terrible.
An opportunity like this won't come our way again.
Think about it.
Should we forget it for an issue like this?
We're not chameleons, are we?
Not long ago you all signed to expel him, right?
I told you to think it through.
The letter to Sir is still on the table.
We haven't sent it yet.
This is God's plan.
That the foreigners would make us this offer,
and that Hari would tell Madan today.
It's God's will!
There was something wrong with our decision.
For over ten years we've worked in the theatre,
have we ever visited anywhere nice?
Once in a blue moon we go to Delhi or Hyderabad.
This is a 90-day trip across five countries, dammit.
Forget the places. How much is each paid?
- Six? - Eight.
800 thousand Rupees!
That's beyond our wildest dreams.
I hardly earn a few hundred a day.
With this kind of money,
I could build a small house...
and get married and be free of debt.
800,000 rupees is a fortune for us.
I'm not the only one.
Aji, how much do you earn a day?
Jolly, why take a census now?
No, let him talk.
Aji! Tell us.
What do you expect from a fuel station?
8,000 rupees max.
Just eight thousand!
- What about you? - Twelve.
Your wife is pregnant, right?
A baby will soon arrive.
Sanosh, what about you?
We're all in the same boat!
We all need money.
Stop digging into it!
You're not like us!
You own a travel agency.
Travel agency, my foot!
I have a debt of 1.4 million rupees!
I don't even earn half your income.
Lost my office because I couldn't pay back the lenders.
So don't lecture me about money.
They'll be here soon.
Decide what we're going to tell her.
We have no other option but to expel him.
Brother... this can change our lives forever.
Why should we suffer if he groped her?
If we don't fire him, Anjali will sue him.
He'll be arrested and we'll all be in a mess.
If that happens, do you think they'll still take us to England?
Use your head!
Look at this!
This is a cheque Hari gave me.
150,000 rupees!
I tore it up before signing that letter.
You almost had that money.
Why tear it up in such a hurry?
You know why!
I can't take his money and stab him in the back.
Yeah! Well, now suffer.
Say the cheque got torn and he'll write you another.
That's not a problem.
Come back to the matter at hand.
There's only one solution – compromise.
We need them both.
Sudheer might say I'm naive.
There's no doubt that this is a great opportunity.
London's National Theatre is a prestigious place
to perform.
And countries like Denmark and Norway
are extremely beautiful.
- Must-see places. - Needless to say!
I don't blame you,
if you've changed your mind about Anjali now.
Stop saying 'you'! Start saying 'we'!
Let's tell her about the trip.
What if she changes her mind?
She'll blow your head off!
- Santhosh! - Yes?
Can we find a compromise?
It's possible.
What he did was definitely wrong.
But the way she dresses isn't right either.
I've told her that many times.
She says I'm regressive.
Listen.
I have a plan.
We must tell Anjali that we're going to fire Hari.
But Sir should not know about it.
Don't show him our letter either.
Madan and Hari should go and see Sir tonight.
The three of you should then meet the foreigners
and make things official.
After that, Madan has to do one more thing,
put a story in the newspaper
saying our Arangu group is going on
an international trip.
Include the foreigners' names as well.
Then that becomes public news.
Only then should Sir know about the Anjali-Hari issue.
It should look like she came to us for help,
and we had no choice,
but to exclude Hari from the trip.
Got it?
No.
Come on, Madan.
We came to know of it today.
Assume we never came to know.
What if Anjali had told you this next week?
If this plan works,
Aji...
we get to go on the trip and kick Hari out as well.
Only he can be so crooked.
Nandan, your idea is great.
- But it won't work. - Why not?
Hari is really close to these foreigners.
They made this offer because of their love for him.
Not because of our play's greatness.
They won't take us anywhere without him.
One thing is sure,
having both Anjali and Hari back is an impossibility.
If that's ever going to happen,
Anjali has to forgive Hari first.
There's only one way to do that...
The seniors of our group,
Aji, Madan, Selvan and Sudheer...
the four of you should go to her and apologise on his behalf.
Go down on your knees if you must.
She'll forgive him because she has a soft spot for you.
But don't mention the trip.
She should know all that as something that happened later.
It's worth thinking about.
There's no time to think!
They'll be here any minute.
Let her come.
I'll talk to her. I don't mind.
All the seniors should talk to her.
Since it's a great opportunity for the group,
I'll apologise on behalf of that rascal.
I won't apologise on his behalf.
We have a senior here, let him do that.
Aji, what do you think?
How can I face them?
I feel uneasy.
Then why did you agree to come when Selvan called?
When he suddenly called,
how could I say no to such seniors?
Anjali, I forgot to tell you...
Yesterday, Madan asked if you were sure it was Hari.
And if you'd seen him.
I said you saw him.
They're not going to ask you anything.
But in case they ask, you should say you saw him that night.
Stop the car.
Stop the car, I said.
What's wrong?
I cannot lie.
Why did you say something like that to Madan?
I didn't mean to say it, Anjali.
He asked me clearly:
"Did she see him or not?"
I said it on the spur of the moment.
He wouldn't have taken it any further,
if he thought you had not seen Hari.
That's why I told you, Vinay.
I don't want to tell anyone else.
I'll just leave the group.
I don't get it.
He groped you and you're leaving the group?
He should leave the group.
Vinay,
if something like this happens in a place
we think is the safest-
it's devastating.
It's not the same place any more.
That's why I said I'll leave.
I understand, Anjali.
But if that rascal leaves,
it'll be the same safe place again.
Whatever...
I'm not willing to lie just to prove it.
Anjali.
Did he grope you?
Don't look at me like that!
- Did he grope you or not? - Yes.
- Did you see him? - No.
You only have that crap that fell from his pocket as proof.
Not just that.
I'm sure it was him.
That same scent.
Only I'll believe it, Anjali.
When we present it to the group, it won't be enough.
The group is only standing with us because
they think you saw him.
Did I ever say I wanted people on my side?
I don't understand what your problem is.
What are we supposed to do after an incident like this?
Nothing? I asked you to file a case against him, but you didn't.
I asked you to put a post against him on Facebook
and you didn't do that either.
Now you don't want to tell the group?
What should I do? Act alongside someone
who groped you for the rest of my life?
That's why I said there's no need for all this.
I want to believe nothing happened to me.
I don't want to be reminded of it.
Okay, Anjali.
It was my mistake.
Tell them that you didn't see him.
I'll be a liar before Madan.
I'll tell them,
I was the one who made Madan say that.
So you won't be the only one leaving the group.
A tiny balloon, the doctor said.
It might not burst.
But if it bursts, I'll be done in twenty minutes.
Oh!
What are you saying?
We should treat it.
I said not to do anything.
To be honest, I didn't feel anything when I heard the doctor.
I thought I had no more desires left in life.
But, after Hari talked about the trip,
I felt a whim to see those places...
And die happily on that trip.
A crazy desire, right?
Aren't you thinking thinking how terrible I am?
To roam the world at the mercy of that bastard!
Leave it if she's willing to compromise.
If she doesn't budge...
show her this.
Let's go.
Get the umbrella from the back.
How many more lies must I tell to prove it happened?
I told this to Madan...
I saw Hari.
Now what more?
This isn't some story we made up to trap an innocent man.
Is it?
We'll go in?
I'll text it to you.
My phone's charging upstairs. Just tell me.
LE-VI-TI-RA-CETAM
250 MG
LEVITIRACETAM
- Quite a name! - I might collapse without it.
I'll go and buy it.
Aji... they're here.
Come outside.
I've got something to tell you.
Would you like some tea?
No, Madan.
- Some water? - No.
Then go upstairs.
We'll talk there.
Hey! It's already 7.
Not going to the temple today?
No. A friend is taking over.
I sent her upstairs.
Choose your words wisely.
Tell her we've decided to fire him.
And as we planned-
play the apology card.
Don't mention the trip.
Who is going to apologise?
Aji can do it.
What about Vinay? We should tell him.
Nandan is telling him.
Is she upstairs?
Yes. She is.
Aji, let's go.
800 thousand!
800000! For each of us!
Stop saying it over and over! I heard you!
Are they going to tell her about it?
No, no. They're looking to reach a compromise.
A compromise? Don't even think of it!
She'll dump me for that reason alone.
Never thought you'd ask me such a thing!
No, dear...
We even prepared his dismissal letter.
It only occurred to us after we called you here.
Forgive him this once and it won't break up the group.
If Sir finds out, he'll be upset.
- It was my idea that they ask you. - Yes.
Yeah, Aji told us.
Do you think it'll make any difference, Aji?
Is it true that she wanted to take legal action?
No. I just made that up and told Madan.
He's not as bad as you think, my dear.
There's never been a complaint against him.
This happened because he was drunk.
Try and forgive him.
We are just asking you.
Forget it if you can't. We'll hand the letter to Sir.
Bullshit.
Absolute bullshit!
- There's one other option, Madan. - Tell me.
Let him stay. I'll quit.
No, no.
Either expel him, or reach a compromise.
Don't say that word again. It's so cheap.
You may vent it out, But don't call Aji “cheap”.
I said that word is cheap. Not Aji.
Sudheer, it's not fair what we're asking of her.
She has the right to speak her mind.
We're not defending him.
You're more important to us.
I can't imagine meeting him again.
I need time to think.
Think about it, dear.
Take your time.
Also think, if you were at fault too.
What fault?
I mean... Men lose it when they're drunk.
They don't care even if it's a family member.
I warned you many times not to drink with men.
I see...
Shut your mouth, Selvan.
I've made up my mind.
You say I'm equally to blame.
But he did it to me, right?
I'll deal with it.
To hell with compromise!
Anjali, my dear. Wait.
Anjali, wait.
Let's talk about it.
There's nothing more to talk about, Santhosh.
Selvan says he did it because I was drinking with all of you.
That's not what I meant, my dear.
You didn't let me explain fully.
Is that what I meant to say, Aji?
Look at this. His dismissal letter.
We're not bluffing you. Look at everyone's signature.
Read it calmly.
Selvan is old-fashioned.
We don't share his views.
We took the decision as soon as Madan told us the matter.
Did we even ask you for details?
We trusted what you said.
If you trust me so much, why ask me to forgive him?
Just to check...
If we have other options than just kick him out?
We discussed whether, as artists, we could take a different stance.
I said we'd let her decide.
I don't want to be a damn artist!
I can never face him or share the stage with him again.
She's making a simple point.
Why on earth can't you understand?
I don't want anyone to understand, Vinay.
It happened to me.
So I'll handle it somehow.
Anjali...
Just look at everyone.
They're scared stiff. So am I.
We're scared you'll tell people and report it to the police.
That's the only reason we decided to fire him.
Nothing to do with trust, as Cijin put it.
Santhosh, speak for yourself. Don't talk for the others.
That's what everyone thinks.
Did anyone see him do it?
We haven't even asked Hari.
Fear! That's it!
- You might be a coward! - Yes, I am!
We're not cowards like you. We're fighting for justice.
Sanosh is right.
What exactly happened?
How did it happen? When did it happen?
No one is even allowed to ask.
It's a sin to ask!
Just swallow the story, whole.
What do you want to know?
I'll tell you everything!
And you can all be happy.
Vinay, this is exactly the scene I wanted to avoid!
You don't have to answer to anybody, Anjali.
Those who want to, will believe it.
Are you all mad?
Then why not tell her the real matter.
Prashanth, what do you mean?
Mind your tongue.
Stop this bloody drama.
She's not here to be insulted.
Come on, Anjali! Let's go!
Anjali, one minute.
Can I ask you one question?
Just one question.
Madan said it happened at 2.30 in the night.
Is that true?
- Yes. - Okay.
Look at this photo.
Everyone should see this.
Delna and I had a fight that night.
She video-called me that night and I clicked it.
I mean... took a screenshot.
Look, who this is.
Come and see.
It's Hari. Sleeping.
Fast asleep.
Now look at the time.
2.12
Going by what Anjali said-
Did he walk in his sleep and do it?
We've been talking since the morning.
Why didn't you show this to us before?
I just noticed it now, when I was checking my chat.
Show me.
This photo is a problem, Anjali.
So what do you want me to say?
That's enough!
Keep him in the group.
Anjali! You're under no obligation to convince anyone.
That's not right, Vinay. We decided to fire Hari.
That calls for some obligation.
- Right, Madan? - Yeah.
See...
There was no such need until now.
But this photo is quite confusing.
Can I ask you something if you don't mind?
You were fast asleep.
Did you see him clearly?
You're stooping so low.
So be it!
I want to know how someone who was sleeping in my room,
till 2.12 that night, could get there at 2.30?
To hell with your time tricks.
Whether he came walking or flying is irrelevant.
She saw him. And that's enough!
Why are you throwing a fit?
Jolly had a doubt.
And it's a reasonable doubt.
Let her speak.
She needs no lawyer.
Madan, please come. I have to discuss something with you.
Why tell a secret now?
This is a group discussion, right?
Anjali, leave if you want to.
I will not force you to answer their questions.
You can leave...
But don't complain that no-one believed what you said.
Enough, Santhosh!
Learn how to talk to a woman first.
My dear.
For the group's sake...
Can you tell them, just like you told me;
What happened that night?
It will put an end to all their doubts.
That night-
after playing cards, I went to my room.
What time?
I don't remember.
Don't remember.
Okay, continue.
I got very tired by night...
Should be the drinks,
I was feeling dizzy as well.
I went to bed soon.
After I fell asleep…
Where did you sleep?
Let her speak, Santhosh.
There was a sofa in the room.
That's where I slept.
After I slept...
It was after about twenty minutes...
Aren't you ashamed to make her say it again and again?
She doesn't have to.
You said he put his hand through the window.
So the window was open?
Yes.
It was an a/c room. Then why did you leave the window open?
Shamna wasn't feeling well.
So Shajitha asked me not to turn the a/c on.
That's why I left the window open.
Okay.
So you were asleep when this happened?
Anjali, we believe everything you've said.
But how could this person, seen in the photo fast asleep,
know you were sleeping on the sofa?
How did he know the window was open?
We saw him go to the terrace several times,
saying his phone was out of range.
And her room was on the way to the terrace.
He might have done it on the way.
Come on. What are you trying to prove?
Nothing to prove.
I have a strong doubt, that's all.
You were very drunk that night.
Fast asleep as well.
Shajitha didn't see anything either.
I think it was a 'Tactile Hallucination'.
What crap is that?
Look it up on Google.
It's more like an illusion of somebody touching or pushing...
It stems from fear.
Alcohol aggravates it. That's all.
Right!
The whole thing was an illusion.
What he did to me, and how I was scared till morning.
It was all my imagination.
Being shut up at home, not going to the workplace-
it was all just in my head, right?
Anjali, seeing this photo made me doubt.
Now just tell us that you actually saw him.
We trust you.
Did you really see Hari running away?
No.
I didn't see him.
What?
- What nonsense are you saying? - You didn't see him?
I didn't see him.
But I'm sure it was him.
- We've been fools! - Enough talking!
She didn't see him, dammit!
Then why the hell did you lie to Madan?
Too bad, Anjali.
Imagine if we'd taken her word for it and fired him.
Tell us the truth.
Sudheer, not to play a detective, right?
Anjali!
Don't be intimidated by their questions.
You said you saw him. Just say it again.
She said she didn't.
Stop coaxing her.
We need to know.
Why did you tell such a made-up story?
It's not made up.
Here. It fell out of the pocket
of the man who ran away.
You all know whose key it is, right?
Not only that.
The horrid smell of his perfume was all over the place.
- Isn't that Hari's? - Yeah.
That is his key.
Then how did the photo make sense?
You saw what time it was in the screenshot.
Cijin!
- What? - Come here.
How did she get that key?
No idea.
If you stare at me, I'll stare at you too.
How did she get that key?
What is this, Nandan? I called you so many times.
I can't see you. Out of network?
Wow! Perfect timing.
Living happily, right?
She's right.
Hari threw a tantrum that morning over the missing car keys.
That's true.
Someone had come from the workshop to tow the car away.
They say, the truth will always come out.
Or God will not drop the key out of his pocket in time.
- Isn't it? - Definitely!
There is enough evidence to believe that Hari did it.
But, Anjali...
Why did you lie to Madan that you saw him running away?
Sudheer, it's almost like she did see him.
There's no such thing as “almost seeing”.
She saw him or she didn't.
Answer the question, Anjali.
Why did you say you saw him?
Even after I said I saw him,
you asked me to forgive and compromise.
What was that?
Tactile hallucination!
Cool!
What medicine is that, Aji? It was hard to find.
It's not easily available.
Vinay, can you drop me at the bus stop?
Okay. Give Hari this key.
I have no intention of filing a police case or going public.
I want to believe this has not happened to me.
I...
I just want to sleep.
So right now, I've decided to quit the group-
Anjali, one moment!
It wasn't Hari...
It was him! It was this creep, who groped you!
How dare you, fucking asshole!
Let go of my hand!
Leave me!
This key is your proof.
Right?
Isn't this key the proof?
Hari and I were in the same room that night.
That night,
he wanted cigarettes and he took the key from Hari.
Did you see me?
Yes, I did.
The key went missing after that.
I remember it well.
I remember clearly that you took the key.
Just a second. Just a second.
Nandan…
Is there any truth in what Sanosh is saying?
What are you implying?
Am I crazy?
He's settling a score!
Nandan.
Stop blabbering and answer my question.
Did you take the key from him or not?
No!
Listen...
Stop lying.
Tell us the truth.
It is true that he said there were cigarettes in the car...
He said he had left his car keys in a basket on the dining table.
I went to get them. But there was nothing there.
A while back, Jolly said
he saw you going to Anjali's room at midnight.
Why did you go there?
Why would I go to Anjali's?
Yes. I had a slight headache.
I went there to see if Shajitha had any medicine.
He's the one!
See!
I just made up that jolly saw him.
But he was quick with the 'headache' story!
You bloody bastard!
Are you fucking with me?
Leave him... Vinay... Leave him...
And did you get the medicine?
No.
Shajitha didn't have any medicine.
That means you saw Shajitha?
I'll check with her.
Twenty years at the newspapers.
I've dealt with bigger assholes than you.
It's written all over your face.
You'd better stop lying and tell us the truth.
Am I the liar? You filthy bugger.
Answer me, you dickhead!
You are the only one who is lying.
Let go, dammit!
I've got something to tell you all.
Anjali never came to Madan or said anything to him.
She said everything to him... To Vinay.
Anjali did not even see Madan.
Know that?
Vinay has been here since yesterday.
He told the whole story to Madan.
And he recounted it to us.
Anjali never spoke to Madan.
It's all rubbish!
He somehow wanted to kick Hari out.
That's the thing. And...
You'd better not force me to say more!
Got it?
Madan, was it Vinay who told you everything?
He is a liar.
No. That's the truth.
I told everything to Vinay.
Hear that? Did everyone hear it?
Vinay didn't talk about it because of the friction
between him and Hari.
When did she say this?
How could I have talked about it?
Okay.
You saw it today.
Santhosh immediately brought up my issue with Hari.
That's why I asked Madan to address it.
You shouldn't have fooled us, Madan.
I did it for the good of the group.
Is that a crime?
What did Shajitha say? Did she see Nandan?
Why are you hesitating?
What did Shajitha say?
If it's about Nandan...
Yes, he went to her to get the tablet.
Everyone should listen.
Especially you!
Anjali. Didn't you doubt me?
We'll settle scores later.
Shajitha said something else too.
I'm not sure how to tell you.
Our daughter saw it, she said.
She saw Anjali and Vinay kissing.
What's that?
What nonsense!
I'm just telling you what Shajitha said.
What?
Anjali and I were seen kissing?
Did you hear that, Anjali?
Hilarious!
How much will you twist this case?
Vinay...
I haven't completely believed what my daughter has said.
If it didn't happen, just forget it.
Do I even have to tell you that?
We kissed, it seems!
This is the problem with your generation.
If a man and woman get close, you go looking for a scandal.
You talk about it too.
Today has been such a day.
Or she would have whacked you for the things you've said.
Listen! My wife and I are still married.
So,
I don't need to find a relationship elsewhere.
And that too with her.
Kissing, it seems!
I got it now.
It clicked with me now.
Want to know what your daughter saw?
The scene where Devadatta and Padmini kisses
in the shadow play.
That's what she saw.
Rubbish!
Got it, sorry.
Sorry.
There's no point saying sorry after talking such nonsense.
Anjali, he had said such baseless stuff and you -
Enough is enough, Vinay. Stop it!
How many more lies must I tell?
Who else should I fear?
I'm done. Listen.
He and I have been in a relationship for the past one year.
I don't know what the kid saw but we kissed at the resort that day.
Not just that day.
It's happened many times before.
Because we love each other.
I know this is a complex relationship.
But we are in love.
He might be afraid of you all.
I used to be too.
Not anymore.
Haven't I asked you a thousand times?
If there's anything between you and her?
Take your hands off, Prashanth!
This is none of your business.
So, I was in love with someone,
who was sleeping with a married man.
Wow! That's another love story!
Selvan, didn't I tell you?
They are an item.
What a show!
Bringing the key. Making Madan talk about it all.
We all decide to fire Hari.
Do you idiots get it?
This was all a drama they both played to get Hari out.
I don't think anyone groped her.
Anjali, are you happy now?
I told you they would say this.
Keep telling the truth. Go on.
Do you all think I was lying about what happened to me?
You don't have to believe it.
Do you think I was lying, Aji?
First you said it was Hari. We believed it.
Then it was Nandan. We believed that too.
How can we believe something that you didn't even see?
What if tomorrow you get a feeling that I did it?
What do we do then?
I've been following you for ten minutes.
Say something.
You won't get a damn bus, standing here.
Let me drop you home.
Anjali, please say something.
All that is over, Vinay.
I quit Arangu.
I begged you to tell them that you saw him.
I did not see him, Vinay!
That's why I said 'I did not see him'.
Did you notice something?
None of them even asked that.
What?
If it was not Hari, who was it?
None of them asked that.
When I think about it now, I feel you were right.
Nothing happened to you.
No-one did anything to you.
Don't you want to believe the same?
That is enough.
To tell the truth,
there was no need for us to tell Madan.
Not us. I mean, me.
What do you really think?
Could it have been Hari?
I was so confused when Jolly showed that photo.
What do you think, Anjali?
I don't know.
But when I saw everyone defending Hari-
I felt Hari's presence in that house.
Your instincts are right.
When I came to pick you up,
something happened there.
What?
I see...
So, I didn't leave the group.
They kicked me out, right?
To go on that trip, you said.
Not exactly.
They just got dazzled by the offer.
When Nandan told me about it,
I felt like beating his brains out.
Then I thought over it.
When a driver, or a plumber, or a gas-station worker...
is hit with such a huge offer-
How else would they react?
What is the Chef thinking?
I...
But I'm sure of one thing.
If we're going on this trip, we won't go without you.
I'm sure of that.
What is it?
Anjali.
Anjali!
All because I showed the screengrab at that time.
That was the twist in the tale.
I have a request to make you all.
Hari mustn't be told anything.
At least, till we finish the tour.
Not just Hari, no one should know.
How can you take things so lightly?
She could be at the police station.
You guys have no clue about girls these days.
Let her go to the police.
We'll deal with it.
She hasn't seen the person.
On top of that, she was drunk.
And the only proof she had was that key.
She left that on the table right here.
Sanosh, don't worry about the CCTV.
I called them. They don't have CCTV.
I must say this.
We are the worst buggers.
I think everything she said was true.
Either Hari or someone from our group groped her.
No doubt about that.
Then, it must be you.
Nonsense!
Madan, you have any intention of calling Hari?
You walk towards the dead guy...
You take off your hat, you kneel.
It's an aerial shot.
That's the film's interval point.
Sir.
- Time for the shot? - No. It's Madan.
- Is this okay? - It's good.
- You should've hung up. - He kept calling.
Answer the call, Hari.
He has been calling for some time.
You were disturbed even when he called earlier.
No disturbance at all, sir.
Madan is from our drama team.
A few months back, Madan calls me up one night
and says a friend from Australia...
has a plan to make me the hero of his movie.
And that I should come to his hotel immediately.
I was far away, at my wife's house.
It was raining cats and dogs.
Yet I rushed over,
Playing the 'hero' is any actor's dream. Isn't it?
But when I got to the hotel,
there was no friend, no Australia. Nothing.
Madan was there, drinking with his friends.
Oh.
He made a bet with them...
that he could bring a movie guy anytime at his will.
I didn't say a word then.
But you don't forget such things.
I paid him a visit this morning.
Good things come in threes.
Call him one last time.
I'll call.
Vinay, the farther you stand, the more you're left out.
His eyes lit up when he heard about Europe and the money.
Poor guy.
He lives off his wife's money.
There! He's calling again.
Put it on speaker phone.
Time to break the news, I guess.
Just a minute.
Hello. What's up?
Hey, Hari.
Shouldn't we go meet Sir tonight?
Meet Sir? Why?
To talk about the European trip?
How about we go to Australia instead?
Then, we can meet your producer friend,
who was to cast me as a hero.
Europe, it seems!
You thought I'd forgive your 'producer prank'?
Listen...
Hope you haven't told the others about the trip.
Don't. You'll just get humiliated.
You tricked me, and I tricked you.
Tit for tat! We're even now.
Don't take it to heart. Go to bed now.
Good night.
That was downright awful!
This is just fantastic!
We asked for it!
We really asked for it!
Great! We totally deserve it!
You deserved this!
Salim says he did it, because I partied with you all.
I'm not ready for any compromise.
Sophia!
How could Kapil, who was asleep
in my room at 2.12, grope you?
Did he walk in his sleep?
Did we ever ask you for any details?
As artists, can't we do better, than firing Kapil?
How many times have I told you not to get drunk?
Just swallow the story, whole.
Something tells me, that it was a hallucination.
Sophia, you can leave, if you want.
But don't complain that no-one believed you.
I don't need to have a relationship elsewhere.
I don't think anyone groped her.
This was all a drama, they played to get Kapil out.
You don't have to believe anything.
Do you think so, Alex?
First, you said, it was Kapil.
We believed that.
Shouldn't we go meet those foreigners?
To discuss the trip to America?
Sophia.
You shouldn't leave our group.
I did it.
I don't know what came over me.
I had never thought of you like that.
But...
I'm the one who did it.
- Have you told the others? - No.
I'll tell everyone now that I did it.
Don't you want to see me?
No.
I don't want to see you.
Go back.
Don't tell everyone.
No one should know anything.
No.
No, Sophia.
I can't live with the guilt any more.
- You must see me. - No!
I said, you may go!
I don't want to know who you are.
For me - you and the other eleven are one and the same.
I now invite the writer, director and actor,
Anjali Balan onto the stage.
Let's welcome her with a big round of applause.
Let Anjali speak now.
I think you can start by introducing your team mates.
Thank you for being such a wonderful audience.
I can't begin to tell you how overwhelming it was to...
Write and direct this play.
Let me introduce my 12 teammates.
Althaf.
Aadil.
Akash.
Amal.
Adithyan.
Rajesh.
Sharath.
Vyshak.
Krishnajith.

And Jithin.
