Soldier of Vellimala
This is Vellimala village
There were chaos since day one
Water is overflowing Call the kids
To prevent the frequent floods and loss that occurred here...
...made the Government decide to construct a dam
MATHRUBHOOMl Construction of Vellimala Dam to begin soon
Attempts to sabotage the project led to strong agitations by the people
Allow construction of Vellimala Dam People's agitation committee
The agitation that even cost a life resulted in Vellimala dam becoming a reality
Today the dam is responsible for our houses getting power supply
Another facility this dam provides is an ideal spot for people to commit suicide!
The strong undercurrents and the rocky bed beneath makes it...
...possible to retrieve the bodies only after 1-2 days and sometimes never
lt was on one of those hot summer days at the dam...
...when electricity shut-down and load shedding was frequent...
Hello?
Yes, it's me Rafi Who are you?
Seven Arts Mohan? Oh really!
Why stop with 7 Arts Mohan? (Production manager)
You could've said director Joshy or Priyadarshan
Can't l recognize your voice? Disconnect and get lost, you junky!
Must be some mischief maker!
He insists on hearing me swear! Aiyo! Mohan sir!
Mohan sir, greetings sir! l just thought of you now
Some fellow called me now claiming he was you and tried to fool me, sir
What? Was it you, sir?
Your new number? Sorry, sir!
Yes, tell me sir, l'll be there right away, l'll come tonight itself!
l hope at least this movie has a dialog for my role
God! Finally a chance to act! l'll simply excel in this film!
Hey! Beautiful one, come in all your finery For it's our wedding day tomorrow...
Jacob sir, l'm off to Ottapalam for a film shoot
- Then who will be on night duty? - Gopi or Xavier'chetan
Doesn't he have betterthings to do? Madness! That's what l call it
Suku! l'm off for a shoot
lmutti'ka Where's Gopi?
l saw him on his bike along with those youngsters
Why?
Must be exhibiting his army stunts somewhere
Oh, he and his blessed army!
Hey Kanchi! Oh my dear Kanchi My love is forever true
Stop, don't go away breaking my heart
Hey Kanchi! Oh my dear Kanchi My love is forever true
Stop, don't go away breaking my heart
Gopi!
There he goes!
Why is he glaring at me?
Why do you yell out my name from behind when l'm singing?
lf you'll fall off when l call you shouldn't have turned to look
People like you should learn to drive their bike steadily forward
Look, no time for dialogs
l must reach Ottapalam early morning for a shoot
lt's a fantastic role! See you, okay?
Hey! Rafi, dude!
Don't call me from behind lt is inauspicious
He and his blessed film!
This bike isn't starting!?
Hey Rafi! Wait, dude!
- George, l'm off for a shoot - Go wherever you want!
Rafi! Stop for a second
- There he comes again - Stop! Stop!
Gopi! l have to go right now l get a chance once in a blue moon
Who will do the night duty?
Don't l do it every day? You or Xavier take overtonight
l've always made it clear l won't work during the night
My dear Xavier'chaya, how can you distrust your wife like this?
No one will run off with her in a single night
Moreover, aren't we all here?
Of course! lsn't that bad enough?
What are you standing there for? Go inside, woman!
Saviors to support!
What a specimen! Aiyo! Mohan's call!
- Rafi! Don't go, stop - Won't you leave me alone?
Look, if l don't reach on time someone else will get that role
l'm not a great actor that they'll wait for me
- You've proved that already - You dare not talk about my acting skills
How can l have an opinion on something you don't have?
Get lost, you!
- Don't go - Let me go
l should kick myself for even talking to you
100s to find fault! lf he's so smart, why not get me a role?
But no!
Hey! Pack my clothes
A brave soldier during the day and at night cowering and fearing ghosts
Go for night duty instead of bringing dishonorto the male species!
Fear, eh? That too me?
Hey! Look there!!
See! Didn't l say so?
What is this, Gopi'aetta? All of us go around at night
Why is it, only you see these ghosts?
Only l know what it is to see ghosts
They are ghosts not humans, l can't use military tactics to destroy them, can l?
They are all a part of yourfears Didn't that psychiatrist advice you?
Walk around during the night normally instead of hiding
Only then your problem will be solved
Anita?
Call for you
- Rafi! - What?
- My bullet (bike) is wrecked - So?
- Drop me off before you leave - Okay, your majesty
The journey is so beautiful and the weather so wonderful
l'm afraid l'll lose myself here somewhere
Hey! The power is gone again in spite of the usual shut down
- Stop! Stop! - What a menace you are!
- l can't sit behind anymore - Gopi, l must leave forthe shoot
- Shoot is only tomorrow, right? - Where are you squeezing in?
Now go Stop! Stop!
There's a dog jumping
Dog? Where?
- l must have imagined it - You must be really paranoid
- Who, me? - Do you call this shyness then?
Let's go
Rafi, do you know Lal Chowk Marg in Kashmir?
- No - lt's a focal point of terrorists
On a night like this, l've attacked and caught 11 terrorists
Rajagopalan sir was there with us But l was the one who led the attack
After going through all that do you think l fear darkness?
No use talking to you anymore
Why are you riding faster?
Are you excited hearing my narration?
No, to drop you off before you begin your next army story
l'll listen to the rest later Now get off, we've reached
- Get off, dude! - Okay
- Come back tomorrow, okay? - Sure, l'll return right now!
Well, here comes the soldier
Oh, l see! Darkness falls and you start boozing, eh?
Why are you so surprised? Aren't you a citizen of Kerala, my pal?
You've been assigned the duty to be 'on alert' of terrorist attacks
Not to drink and lie unconscious here
All existing terrorists have been killed when you were in the army
Bin laden the last 1 was killed by the Americans
There are no more terrorists left, are there?
We've been waiting for you We want to go in and sleep
Retiring already?
Can't you rest here awhile before you go in?
Why do you need us? Powerful ghosts will keep you company
My wife claims, if l don't sleep well my behavior becomes really ugly
Please don't disturb us with ghosts and goblins, okay? Goodnight
Don't you know smoking is injurious to health, Thomas'etta?
Can't you stop it at least after death?
Ow! Stop your attack!
l've rebuked you once for passing comments on Anita
You should've had the guts to get even with me then
Not scare me now after you are dead
Who can this be now?
Who are you?
Can't you hear me?
Aren't you Alice? John'ettan's daughter?
Stop there! Don't go further! Alice!
PUMPHOUSE
Stop
The dam, a symbol of pride to us under the auspices of our Panchayat
celebrated its 20th anniversary
The income-expenditure as well as cash balance, l, lttisir, will now read out
To build the stage with cheapest bamboo, trip to Thodupuzha
did not get bamboo Expenses, Rs 1000
The same happened at Kothamangalam, expense Rs 2000
The same at Cheruthoni expenses were Rs 5000
Tell us, did you finally get the bamboo, Mr president?
What?
ls it him?
When a Panchayat has its own dam many such expenses have to be borne
What have you got to do with all this?
Am l not the son, of a simple man who died, shot down by the police
while leading a protest on behalf of this dam?
Let us, common people also know how much funds you've swallowed
Let me deal with him 1stcome
Oh, you seem to have bought herbal medicine for your phobia
What are you out to prove? That you are not a coward, right?
So you go around enacting such dramas, isn't it?
No, as a person with a social responsibility
What was that again? Social responsibility?
Ah! Secretary sir, you are new here You won't know, he was once in the army
After the Kargil war, dead soldiers were brought home across the river
Those days when this news flashed across on TV and papers
and many Panchayats got their share of fame
We expected this fellow also to return dead
So that we could get our moments of glory too
But hejust ran away! A petrified coward!
- l didn't run away from the war, sir - Then?
l was in hospital with an eye injury, after a bomb blast
When there were doubts that my sight was seriously affected
Major Rajagopalan insisted that l return home
There seems to be nothing wrong with your eye-sight now!
Bomb blast, my foot! Have you even seen a bomb?
Sir, what l'm saying is true
l'm a soldier who has got a medal for bravery
l will tell you how he got that medal
One day, Rajagopalan sir ordered them to attack terrorists
Everybody got ready, except this fellow, who said, 'sir, l won't go'
Hearing this Rajagopalan sir went up to him and said
...since you had the guts to say this to my face, you are indeed brave
What a brave fellow!
What an ordeal to finish these morning ablutions
Oh Lord! By the time l climb all the way up, l'll be dead!
-Achaya! - What, dude?
Newspaper says, tribal people will get water supply from the Vellimala Dam
Look, the camp officer's photo
Camp officer recognized What's so great about such things?
Wasn't she forced to give up that irrigation project after 5 to 6 years?
Hello?
Have you come out?
Oh, l'll call you back
Achaya, the new executive engineer is coming
- Get ready quickly - But it's only 9:00 AM
Shibu says he's punctual, strict so on and so forth, get ready quickly
Oh, what the hell! People like him make life miserable
- Well, there he comes, now stop! Stop! - What the heck are you up to?
lf this vehicle had touched me l'd have seen this new exexlc
You seem to be totally drunk early in the morning
The local paper mill closed down due to power load shedding
Bhasi was one of its employees who celebrates losing his job like this
Keep quiet dude, let me tell this new execleexclu
You won't get it right however much you try
Says who?
After drinking, l find it hard to say only these words
Enough! Stop pouring
This is our own dam, but my mill alone has no power supply
To find a solution to this power deficiency
l want to know, what you as the new engineer intend doing
l'll find a good generator bury it under the soil and nurture it
When it grows into a tree and bears fruits of good generators
l'll pluck and distribute them to whoever needs power, is it okay?
Switch off the engine without wasting diesel
Sir, will you manure it after burying it?
Good morning, sir
People always chase me away
Are you getting ready for duty only now?
- There wasn't power this morning, so - Give your excuses in writing
So that, it can be torn away Be on time from tomorrow
Where is the operator?
Gopi is on duty He's not yet here
Well, the soldier has come finally
The new executive engineer is here You'll get a dose now for being late
Come on, go and take it without further delay
Sir, l am Gopi Krishnan
Not only operator but ex-military too
Besides daily exercise, l go for drill on Mondays at the navy camp
That's why l'm late
An army man should always be prepared for battle
Sure, today between 11:00-11 :30 AM there's news of lndo-Chinese war
will break out
Shouldn't you be there taking the next available bus?
So you needn't be on duty here today
Don't waste time, learn to say in Chinese 'l accept defeat'
and then go fight, okay?!
Sir, what you did was perfectly right Gopi is most arrogant and irresponsible
lf you have to say this about him he must have some good in him!
Get ready for your duty, dude
l recommended
- Well, it was my words that prompted you - Let's go!
Gopi'aetta?
Anita'chechi asked for the water level reading
Da! All this flirting is fine, remember women of the hills are like monitors
Don't allow them to cling to your body Besides, don't ruin our police reputation
Children, watch your steps
Look! Sir is also here
Tribal leaderwhat's happening? Why are you all here?
We are all fine, all happy
lt was your efforts alone that brought waterto us farmers
Why have you brought all this?
We've come to tell you something Didn't want to come empty hand-
Anita'chechi, call for you
Yes, this is camp officer
Oh my girl, hidden behind the veil
l was watching how those people treat Anita with such love and affection
- Do you really have to pretend to me? -About what?
- Don't l know what you feel? - What's there for me to feel?
- Why get angry? - You are talking nonsense, that's why
Nonsense? Remember you once swore you'd marry only her, after your army days?
That was then, today l don't know whether l'll end up mad or commit suicide
Why link her with me and ruin her life also?
People are harassed without power supply
Electricity generated is deficit compared to its capacity
Why wasn't anything done about this?
Assistant executive engineer Narendran sir was in charge here
l reported all this to him
Arrange for an inspection at the tunnel immediately
Okay, sir
Narendran here
Sir, Varghese is stirring up issues soon after taking charge
l'll call you back
We shifted only yesterday 2nd Saturday, no?
Yes, they are all here Merin and Priya have left
They are immersed in Facebook
That wasn't for you lt was for my mummy
They'll be back today lt is tough putting up with them
l'll come only tomorrow
Aiyo! Papa! l'll call you later
Papa is here! Switch off all extra fans and lights! He'll kill me today
l'm fed up with these girls Every switch is on
Why didn't you listen? Papa'll come, we are all dead!
Anita, get up Oh! Power has gone!
Phew! Saved forthe time being!
You know my papa well, we must switch off all unnecessary gadgets
Papa has come
lt is so calm and silent here Looks like you are all bored
Yes, very true, we've been sitting without electricity for a long time
- So we just - No powerfor a long time, eh?
But l switched off the mains only now!
- Shibu, switch it on and you can leave - Okay, sir
Aiyo! Who has done this?
Chey! You handle this l'll be right back
Papa! Sorry, papa
What sorry! The reason why l ask you to save electricity
is not for me to pack it up and take it along when l die
Electricity shortage is becoming crucial year after year
l just want you and your future generation to not suffer from power deficit
How can l ask my guests not to switch on gadgets?
l'll get you something to drink
A cup of tea without switching on the light in the kitchen
Hey! What are they up to?
Ah! An accidentno?
Greetings!
Ah! That's lttichan sir, our Panchayat president
l thought you'd come to see mebut you didn't
l thought let's introduce ourselves wherever we meet
Must introductions be forced in mid road?
lthat is
l don't think you realize who l am
The dam here was not built because of people's agitation alone
l was also a Panchayat memberthen
That's why today you are executive engineer here
This dam is like my own daughter
Will you marry her off to the Malampuzha dam?!
Today, we must organize inspection of the tunnel, let's go
Shall l take leave, sir?
Executive engineer? My foot!
Why this sudden inspection?
ls there something wrong with our dam?
No, we are not getting the electricity expected out of it
That's why the inspection
Gopi?
- Josukutty, have some tea - We get better tea at our guest house
Chief Engineer Chacko sir has arrived at the guest house for the tunnel inspection
After his bout of drinks, he wants to hear some songs, you mustjoin us tonight
Singing for a drunk audience?
He's here for the sake of our damplease?
He's notjust a plain drunkard He's a blessed drunkard
Oh my dear uncle moon What have you filled in your lotus bowl?
What have you...?
Are you sitting, on the elephant looking down from the heavens
Oh my dear uncle moon What have you filled in your lotus bowl?
What have you...?
See how this shoulder moves?
Well done sir, excellent!
This is a dance, handed down from generations in our family
Shoulder dance!
lsn't Chacko sir here?
Stop! Someone is coming in under suspicious circumstances
Of course, we are best of friends!
Hands up!
Are you from vigilance?
- No, from the Panchayat - Panchayat?
- Hands up, once again - Sir, my dhoti, you can shoot it
- No! Not there! - Don't move!
Sir, Chacko sir He's our Panchayat president
- ls that true? - Yes, for last 10 years
Why are you here at this hour?
l heard Chief engineer is here So l came to renew my acquaintance
Remember me sir, l was member when you were building the dam here
l neither remember, nor do l have time forjogging my memory
You seem to be tensed?
lf it's to do with lncome Tax l can suggest solutions
You went to Madras to buy this gun You didn't get but expenses Rs 10000
Went to Bombay, did not get Expenses were Rs 20000
Narendra!
lttisir, please sit Sir, please come with me
Come here, sir Listen to me, if
How do they know we are watching their cable network?
Are there any cameras hidden here?
My dear sir, that is what they usually announce
When l'm already mad, she's-
Sir?
- Who is that? - Chacko sir?
- Hands up! - Sir, l'm Josekutty
Didn't l promise to bring someone to sing for you?
He is the one
- Do we have to verify his records? - No sir, he's harmless
- Do you sing, dude? - Sir, he sings very well
Do you?
- Then come - Go
You can start
My life a carbon paper remained a carbon paper only
Whatever was written was washed away along with tears
Stop! Stop! This will not do
Not a Hindi song l'm reminded of my wife
Why? ls she from the north?
No! But like a Hindi song l still haven't understood her
Dude! Sing a Malayalam song
Come on, sing!
A dark night overwhelming and profuse Full blown, mellowed and mysterious
Like a beautiful and voluptuous woman sculpted and chiseled out of black stone
A young woman whose glances at me are compellingly sharp in intensity
Her sparkling nose pin, a jewel too Like the orb of a crescent moon new
Clouds of tresses, jasmine in array blossoms like stars, shine to wane away
A dark night overwhelming and profuse Full blown, mellowed and mysterious
Like a beautiful and voluptuous woman sculpted and chiseled out of black stone
A young woman whose glances at me are compellingly sharp in intensity
Draped in a half sari woven fragile with precious stones of blue sapphire
Beads of clear crystals glow strung one by one in a row
As new moon lined her eyes with kohl Full moon adorned with gold jewel
ln search of the elusive door of love that led to her nuptial alcove
A girl pure Shy and demure
Like an adopted daughter facing me with palms hiding her eyes in mystery
Caressing in profusion, a body of magical illusion
Tunes you sing, the night birds hum Your anklets tinkle, a symphony to strum
This beautiful girl, as hours tick Fades away, before our very eyes quick
This girl so shy, the night sky!
A dark night overwhelming and profuse Full blown, mellowed and mysterious
Like a beautiful and voluptuous woman sculpted and chiseled out of black stone
A young woman whose glances at me are compellingly sharp in intensity
Ha! Greetings to you
Bro, isn't this the office of the Executive Engineer?
- Yes - Thank you
Now don't l look a typical contractor?
Sure you do
On the phone he sounded tough Be careful while dealing with him
What are you saying, man? Just watch my performance
Brother? This ex Brother?
- Koshy? - Eh?
Looka mountain swan!
Where can l meet executive engineer Varghese sir?
That man in the corner wearing glasses
You mean that black shorty?
Dude! Obviously a hard core crook
Do you work here?
- No - Thank goodness!
Such fellows have better names A cunning crocodile, kumki, demon
Let me go meet him
Sir, l am Padathil Contractors owner Oomen Koshy's son, Koshy Oomen
l called you yesterday
- Ah! Please sit - Dad died 4 months back
l know the right method to get this bill passed!
That's why l was late getting in touch
lt was your ignorance for which you are forgiven
Have you brought the Rs 3 lakh you offered over the phone?
Sure
Let me not waste time l'll call the police
l've made separate arrangements forthe police
That won't be necessary Before that, they'll arrest you
Why?
For bribing me to get your work done
What did you think of me?
Pretending to clear slush your dad smuggled out sand
That's why l stopped your bill from being passed
Don't talk nonsense about my dad who is no more!
l have accounts of the loads gone from here while under contract
He has smuggled out sand worth millions
Sir, my dad never resorted to such underhand activities
He rotated cash from many people to get this tender worth 5 crores
l can return that, only if this bill is passed-
Corrupt people can dole out many explanations
Sand lost from the dam is a danger to its safety
lt is something that will affect 1000s of people
l'll not only refuse to pass the bill but also file a case and order an enquiry
Why don't you give up this house instead of retaining it empty like this?
My parents once lived there Let it remain as it is
Why don't you start living there?
Do you want to be a bachelorforever?
Who are you? Where did you die?
Die? lf l hadn't moved, l'd be dead now
Who are you?
l am Padathil contractor Oomen Koshy's son Koshy Oomen
Are you the son of contractor Oomen sir who worked at the dam?
Yes
l attended his funeral Why here at this time of the night?
Dad has told us many times how you'd saved him from an abyss
l am in a similar abyss now
-Abyss? - Yes, an abyss of problems
You've got to save me from this somehow
Oomen sir was a regular contractor here, an honest soul
Lorries belonging to Parimalam were used during the contract
lt must have been Parimalam who smuggled out sand
He also dealt with stolen sand
Sir, didn't l tell you my dad was innocent?
You can't make statements without fool proof evidence
Parimalam's house is in Theni
When we called, we were told he is in Malaysia
The minute he returns, l'll pick him up, bring him here and make him confess
That'sjust wishful thinking All that will never happen, l th-
lt will happen
l am a soldier, l'll get him After that you can believe me
What do you say, sir?
l only want the guilty to be punished
lf Oomen Koshy is innocent, l'll pass the bill
Sir, l'm lucky my case is with an honest officer like you-
My dear, was your mobile switched off? Suma called
The range is very poor inside the library, maybe that's why
Why are you switching on the light in broad daylight?
What? Light?
lf there was a sudden power cut
Weren't you the one who called my papa, a black shorty?
Me? Of course not
How can a fair tall man like you
ln that situationl didn't know she was your daughter
lf she wasn't my daughter would you have called me that?
Look at his white shirt, dhoti and cooling glass!
Your looks show what a crook you are
Sir, l'm an innocent fellow
Check out Fb comments about me You'll realize my innocence
-Are you on Face book? - Sowhat if l am?
Crocodile, demon, elephant trainer Didn't you call my papa by these names?
All that was before l knew
Sir, you can call me all these names in revenge!
Why must l get my revenge calling you names that suit you so well?
Let me see what Parimalam has to say
We'll decide, if l'm crocodile or demon after that
lf the bill is not passed the creditors will hound me
My sister's wedding is nearing
- l can't bear to think- - Don't think at all
The minute Parimalam returns, l will abduct him
Like Anita'chechi says, Parimalam has 100s of tipper lorries, how can we
abduct someone like him and that too from Tamil Nadu?
ls this a biggertask than catching terrorists in Kashmir?
These tipper lorries are worse than terrorists when it comes to killing people
Are you making fun of me?
Not like that
Let Parimalam come We'll do what's necessary
Now go
Anita, you may be a good social worker
But your way of insulting me in front of others!
My dear Gopi'aetta, it was just an involuntary reaction, forget it
How can l? At least 1 person should realize l have guts
Agreedyou have guts, l'll even sign a stamp paper and register it
Are you also ridiculing me?
Sure, if that'll remove your complex
- What complex? - That you are a coward
lsn't that why you narrate such stories of bravado
Hello, Ram'aetta, what happened? Wasn't it serviced just 2 days ago?
Finish the work quickly
How could you think that of me!
What the hell are you up to?!
l saw
- lt wasn't deliberate - Then?
Bhairavan has been after me l was just avoiding him-
Which Bhairavan? l can't see anyone
Watch that!
Didn't l explain? Why don't you believe me?
There are millions of people in this world
Why is it only you can see ghosts?
Today l realize what is in your mind, chey!
Haven't you done enough? Ruining my life like this!
What Anita says is true
Among the millions in this world, why pick on me?
What have l done to deserve this fate?
For heaven's sake?! What the dunce is this?
Oh! lt's Alice! Why did she write she won't trouble anyone?
Jacob sir? Vinu sir?
Whatwhy at this time of the night?
-Alice's ghost is out for my blood - Ghost?
Let me sit here
- Why did you come here? - Don't be so hard hearted, sir
Shouldn't we be united against these ghosts?
Sir, be brave l'm here with you
Alice!
Jacob sir?
l thought it was Chandran who died of heart attack on his nuptial night
Sit down, sir
Why are you here?
l was just
Why is he here?
lf Gopi'atten ever comes to know, l will-
Don't worry No one will know
My father will soon start looking for me
You said you'd send her and she's still here Don't make me swear at you!
- Now what the hell can we do? - lt was a mistake
Achaya, just a minute
Look, perfectly distilled alcohol Just 1 swig, all your fears will go
While on duty?
Distilled using battery, can do your duty fully charged!
l refused my military quota to avoid this habit
Foolishness
But when you witness life what's the use of not drinking?
- Here, take this - What about water?
ln distilled alcohol? Just swallow it
- Oh! My chest is burning - Don't worry, it's original
Now, just try this pickle Let that burn into you
How does it feel now? Are you feeling braver?
l'm worried l'll get addicted
Not at all! l've been doing this for the last 25 years
l still have not got into a habit
Here, drink this also
Oh! You poured a little more, isn't it? lt was as if a burning torch went in
Didn't l tell you it is real good stuff?!
Nowpickle
- Why? - For the next drink
Don't worry, he's totally drunkcome
Go, don't worry l'll call you
- Now drink 1 more - No, l feel funny now
- l feel both of you are very good - Yes, that's why
lsn't there a limit to being senseless?
There's a lady out there
- There she goes! - Where?
Will it be a mess?
- Look there she goes - Where?
- We don't see anything - Look at where my hand points
That's a lamp post
Look below the post, in a white sari
That must be a ghost or witch How can we see her?
You are definitely wicked fellows
Look at the 2 of you immovable even in front of ghosts?
l really appreciate your courage
Oh! There's a pit
Pit?
Your eyes are also drunk with alcohol
lt's not the alcohol Happens very often
So good night Sleep well without worrying
No terrorist will step in here
They know you are fit (drunk) police officers!
Thank God! Escaped!
As l come wafting, in a whiff and swirl A lovely cloud over the slopes of silver-hill
With smoldering embers in my heart's hearth Like streaks of lightning that smite the earth
As l flow on, as a dream with the breeze Like melancholic notes of sad melodies
Oh black night, l tread where your darkness led
Oh inky night, l tread where your darkness led
As my soul ran in search of bell, from anklets, that shattered and fell
My breath craved to adorn its psyche With rhythms of my love's soul, my key
As my soul ran in search of bell From anklets, that shattered and fell
My breath craved to adorn its psyche With rhythms of my love's soul, my life's key
Blossoms of Paala, intoxicating delight Swaying to the breeze in lanes of the night
Awaiting with an enchanting, dazzling smile Yearning for my love to be mine, worthwhile
Oh raven night, l tread where your darkness led
Oh black night, l tread within your darkness dead
Ah! Where is Alice?
Alice has gone to Saudi Arabia to join the nunnery
Drunk and senseless lying here, dreaming of women, eh?
Rain water is surging down from the mountain top
Who will open the shutter?
Don't ever let me see you here again
Yes, Koshy?
Brother, has Paraimalam come?
He will, l'll call him now
l've come here to meet the executive engineer
No, not forthat l'll call you back
Why are you here?
We don't sell booze here
Outside the gate2 Kms away you'll get itgogo!
- Sir, please listen to me - Not a word! Soldiermy foot!
You are a hypocrite You won't get yourjob back
- l didn't come for that - No more explanations needed
The news headlines
The power cut in the state has been withdrawn completely
The decision was taken this morning when the cabinet of ministers met today
Widespread protests against increase in diesel prices
Tomorrow the Left parties have called for a state wide agitation
lf the increase in prices are not...
l heard you were leaving for Delhi tomorrow
That's why l'm here now
Did l not ask you
l've not come back for my job
Let it go
But an engineer like you should know the truth
Please listen to what l need to say
They just announced power cut was withdrawn
Maybe another drunkard like you doing his duty and unaware of-
Oh, so it's an attack in darkness, eh?
Sir, he's not alone There's a body guard here
Who are these fellows?
Call the police, sir What nonsense is this?
Not necessary Go switch on the mains
Where is your daughter?
Gone for a college study tour
So you are really a soldier, eh?
Take him away
lt was my greatest desire to join the army and serve the nation
So l ran away from here
This is the 1st time, in this town someone is recognizing me as a real soldier
l am not a drunkard, sir lt was those ghosts who got me drunk
Ghosts? Have they started selling brandy to kill people?
No sir, l don't know what my affliction is
l see Alice, Thomas chetan and many other dead people, persistently
Thomas'chetan, you mean Thomas Kurian who was killed during this dam's construction?
Yes, sir
l used to buy Panama cigarettes for him regularly, when l worked here
What do l do, when he comes in front of me smoking the same Panama?
How long have you been seeing this illusion?
A long time, l did meet a psychiatrist, but no use
You can rejoin your old job
Go meet Dr Shivaprasad at Lotus hospital, tomorrow
l'll call him and fix an appointment
Okay, sir
Was that you?
Where were you? You aren't reachable on your mobile
lt's switched off fearing creditors' calls
Since everybody knows the situation my friends have stopped calling me
Since l have no hope on earth now l thought let me fly in the sky
- Are you high on drugs? - No
My would-be-brother-in-law's dad
Avaran, the business tycoon came home today
l came hearing that the bill will not be passed
And that an enquiry has begun against your father
l am not prepared to allow my son to be burdened with your liabilities
We'll forget this wedding
l walked out of my house, saying l will find a solution to the bill issue
ls consuming dope your solution?
Well, that's what gave me this brilliant brainwave
l came to discuss this with you, my brother
Not now, come sleep
Hey! l'm seriously talking and youwhat was l saying?
Mom's brother in Bangalore, lsaac uncle
He and l always are at loggerheads
He could have easily saved mom from this debt
l thought l'd send a mail to uncle but couldn't
So l have written on this paper all that's in my mind
Love letterto uncle Brother, read it
Bro, open my heart and see what's in it
Dear uncle This is my suicide note
Koshy! Where are you going? Don't take a hasty decision, Koshy!
Stop there We'll find a solution
Don'tjump, Koshy!
Look on the other side, a little away
How the hell can they find him?
Why did he do this?
lsn't his life more important?
The chief engineer is here
This blighted hill and a carthat's rotten!
- Did they find that boy's body? - No, sir
- Where are those geologists from Pune? - Waiting inside for you, sir
Good morning, sir
Chief Engineer
Narayanan, l am a Malayali
Madhu Chopra Vijay Singh
Please sit
Executive engineer Varghese sent us a note
requesting a geological study be conducted here
l too got a copy of it ls it actually necessary now?
The executive engineer has told us a few points
lt needs some urgent attention
Dude, do whatever it is they want
Thank you, sir
Darn this lousy rain!
Don't look forthat body any more Must be trapped amongst rocks
Even afterthe rain stops, the body will still be down only
No need for any celebrations today
Let's have 5-6 rounds and sleep soundly
Varghese sir is in danger He has to be...
What are you saying? Varghese sir is in Delhi, isn't he?
A ghost came and wrote, it seems!! Have you become so muddled?
l do see ghosts, it is true But Koshy was not a ghost
Who else could have written that there?
Gopi, go to Errady mutt and get a sanctified thread tied
We've all lost sleep Try and get some sleep
Sending us all in a tizzy!
Come, woman!
Don't take Anita's words seriously We are a 100% literate state
Even ghosts read and write Nothing surprising!
Hello? Who is it? Siddique, eh?
Director Siddique sir has no time for Hindi films, imagine Malayalam?!
lnstead of trying to fool me, try reading some movie magazines before calling
What nuisance, answering such calls! Can't make out real from make-believe
Hey! Lal Jose is starting a new film, l'll call him
Rafi! Those geologists have found serious flaws in the dam
What flaws?
No idea, but they have gone to the quarters
- Come with me - Sure, let's go quickly
lt's clear, from the studies we've conducted here so far
that there could be a land slide on these hills, at any moment
l don't get it Shouldn't your conclusions be
based on the lab reports, which we've not yet got?
That is just a formality, sir There is serious seepage within the hill
Age has eroded the rocky terrain A land slide will occur, l'm very sure!
Oh my God, Jesus! ls this true?
Let's begin collecting money towards Relief funds of land-slide victims
We do need money in cash, don't we?
Tell us more my geologist brother
A land slide here will be disastrous and there's only 1 way to avoid it
Stop the functioning of the dam and power-house
Abandon Vellimala Dam!
This is our decision
You can't take decisions on your own
This dam has an officer in charge Varghese sir, let him return
We did this study based on Mr Varghese's suggestion
We've already called him in Delhi and informed him our decision
What did he say?
ln the face of such impending disaster what can he do but agree?!
What disaster are you talking about?
Doesn't the tunnel from the dam to the power house go through this hill?
Water is rushing with great force through the tunnel
lf there is a land slide the tunnel will be destroyed
lf the valve is not shut on time
not a single human will survive
And this entire area will sink for many kilometers
We know the draw backs if the dam is shut down
But aren't human lives more valuable than electricity?
You and your Govt must admit this
You must abandon this dam and it should be with immediate effect
You must go back to the police camp, isn't it?
Vellimala dam will only be a memory
You are not only Home Minister, but our Member of the Legislative Assembly too
Sir, if you directly-
This dam was completed when l was the Minister for Electricity
What can the Govt do when it becomes a threat to 1000s of lives?
Sir, can't we verify if a land slide will actually occur?
Won't your Ministry be able to?
Do you think l'll forsake Vellimala? l am there, with all of you
Look, why don't you organize a public protest?
People's emotions have to be provoked
l'll do the needful after that
Brother!
Gopi! What are you doing?
lnothing
See you at the Agitation committee meeting tomorrow
Brother!
Brother, it's me Brother?
lt's me, Koshy Brother, l'm not dead
Brother!
Look at me
How did you escape?
As l sank deep into the water and started suffocating
since l knew to swim l just swam out automatically
ln those moments of near death desperate and directionless
l found myself in a forest
When the effects of dope wore off l didn't have the guts to kill myself
On my way back, in the forest
Ah! Mari, on your way take right turn at the bridge
Parimalam sir will be waiting there
- l have to meet Parimalam sir - He's in there
- ln here? - Yes
- You may leave - Yes sir
Sir, accounts of loads of sand
Chey! We aren't getting the actual share of the kickback
from the loads of sand Parimalam is smuggling out
Don't worry, sir l'm rejoicing Koshy's death
We'll see the accounts later
Sir, he is conscious now
Oh, l wish he becomes enlightened, come
ln spite of the blows you refuse to learn, hmm?
Try to realize at least now what l'm trying to say
Whether you agree or not geologists will be brought
from Pune and we'll see that this dam is destroyed
Then why the heck are you putting up with this torture?
Whatever you do even if you kill me
l'll not abet you to destroy a dam that gives water and power to people
You bloody son of a gun! Did your father get this dam as dowry?
A tile just fell down
Shukur, Parimalam, Johnny Someone is on the roof
Go, catch him red handed
He is Koshy
Koshyisn't he dead?
Go and catch him
The whole of next day l had to spend in hiding
When l came to meet you that night
Brother!
Varghese sir is in danger
Hiding and lying low, l tried for many days to meet you alone
Brother, please help me go back home
They will keep a close watch on your house
lt's a risk to even make a call to your place
This was where Varghese sir
This belongs to Varghese sir
All those stories about landslides were pure lies
Only if we rescue Varghese sir we'll know the inside story of this plot
And only then we can save the dam
-Are you sure no one saw you? - Of course not
Jenny? What's this?
Mom used to tell dad before she died that while he fought the world
he must remember he has a daughter
Papa always replied 'she's MY daughter'
lf papa is also gone who is there for me?
lf that was their intention he'd be dead by now
lf he doesn't co operate they'll use you to threaten him
l brought you here to avoid that
Don't switch on your phone or computer, they may trace you
l assure you l'll find him After all, l am a soldier
Just a minute
Don't worry
Come here What is it?
What the heck are you saying, bro?
lf you pursue Varghese sir, you are buying trouble
We must try to escape from this Otherwise life will be a mess
Dude, when someone is in trouble and a dam in peril!
Don't you have any sense of social responsibility?
Social commitment? Of course l do
For the Mulla Periyar Dam issue
all of us friends on Face book, lit candles on Marine Drive
But we mustn't take decisions that will harm us physically, it's risky
You and your friends are wonderful indeed!
Then why am l protecting you in spite of its dangers?
- That's because - Jenny
We were discussing ways of saving your father
lsn't it, brother?
What were you planning?
A Chacko or a Narendan can't make us abandon a dam
Such things will not happen
There are many others behind this
lf we discover who they are we can rescue Varghese sir
l will do all that
Please don't be impulsive and mess up things
l want papa back alive
The Chief lnspector has come a couple of times to meet papa
May be he will help us
Oh! Police are not stronger than the army
We'll think about itawww!
Ghostthat's why l was unnerved
We'll meet the Cl, right?
- ls the Chief lnspector in? - He has a guest, wait outside
Dear citizens of Vellimala
Pleading not to abandon the dam and as a sign of protest...
...by the people of Vellimala, the inauguration of a hunger strike
lt'll be held today at 4:00 P.M at Patriot pavilion
Our honorable Panchayat president ltti sir will grace this function
All of you must join hands to make it a symbol of people's progress
lt is a request and an entreaty
Anwar, come Let's go in my vehicle
What do those geologists in Pune know about our hill?
To bring them here in a hurry and stir up an issue like this is...
...is a strong conspiracy headed by executive engineer Varghese sir
When such serious issues are happening why must executive engineer be in Delhi?
As the president of this Panchayat for the last 10 years, l can only say...
The decision to abandon this dam
Are you unwell?
l want to be in the forefront of this But my body refuses to co operate
Who is it, who's trying to eliminate our dam?
Your father Krishnan gave up his life forthis
We have carried plenty of stones and mud to build it
What we see around is our livelihood
This dam belongs to the people of Vellimala
Don't let them abandon it
On a mountain strange, a single range...
On those mountain slopes free was planted seedling of a Devil tree
The Pala grew covered leaves, fruits flowered
Oh girl, it is constant, isn't it the only fact?
On a mountain strange, a single range...
On those mountain slopes free was planted seedling of a Devil tree
The Pala grew covered leaves, fruits flowered
Oh girl, it is constant, isn't it the only fact?
Okay, let me leave now
lf you don't finish up all this l must do it myself
Dude, an opened bottle and a marriageable daughter are alike
- Why? - Both are very stressful
Have one more peg, dude
Cheers! Knock it, dude Leave the unopened bottle here
- Okay see you, sir - Okay, good night
Hey! Don't kill me What is it, dude?
This gun has to be kept safely away
Give it to me Scaring people like this!
l thought you were from the vigilance
Okay, now go!
Aiyo! Alice!
Aiyo! Go away!
Who's it? What's happening?
Alice!
-Alice? - Where is Alice?
-Alice, her ghost - Ghost?
There behind you
Aiyo! Shukur, Johnny Find out what it is
Where?
- Gone - Gone where?
l keep seeing them every now and then
Now l can't go home alone
- Where did you pick up this retard? - Let him sleep here tonight, sir
Hello?
Who the heck is calling, without allowing me to sleep in peace?
Hello?
To abduct the executive engineer and keep him hidden
how many pegs did you need to forget that stress and sleep?
Who are you?
l am from a TV news channel
News Channel? But my TV is switched off
This is from the channel office
How much did you pay the geologists for their landslide theory?
Tell me truth, who are you?
l know all details of the drama you are scripting to destroy Vellimala Dam
Da! Who the hell are you?
We'll serve it to the public garnished with spice, soon
Da!
This is the age of hidden cameras
All that you blurted this evening in a stupor is solid evidence
Don't say l didn't warn you
Who are you?
Aiyo! Shukur, Johnny
There are hidden cameras in my room Find and smash every 1 of them
lsn't there a camera in it?
- Sir, may be in here - Break it
Nothing in this either
- Stop gaping and break that TV - Please! What are you doing?
These hidden cameras are difficult to locate
This is the only way Smash it to bits
This is a Sony TV Johnny's club will break it now
Chacko sir, l'll have to answer for all this
- No camera here - What else is remaining?
May be it's inside the Air conditioner
Oh my God!
Playing with me, eh?
All cameras will be in smithereens now
lf you got a call it must be in your call list, sir?
Mobile company claims you didn't get such a call
Booze must have touched your head
Did you dream that call?
lt's only the Bishop who touches heads, not booze!
Call and explain to that Superintendent of police
- l called him - Call again, let me talk
- Hello? - Joshi? Where are you?
l'm very sure about that call lt was a trick to know our secrets
Who could he be?
lt's surely not from the channels They don't ask permission to kill
Has camp officer Anita revealed it to someone?
Not Anita, she'll never do it l am very sure about that
- Who else can it be? - l am really tensed
Can you come here, please?
When l saw you at the meeting l couldn't talk to you properly
l didn't know then, that your participation in the protest meet
was after secretly supporting the fellows who wanted to demolish it
Whylost for an answer, eh?
l want to know why you are aiding and abetting this
l've found out everything
l'm leaving only after l get all info from you
Sorry
Gopi'etta
Come inside
Father got this gift from Chacko & co, to make sure that l help them
What else do you want to know?
What actually happened?
My dear!
Let him know, father Why must he also misjudge?
Remember the inspection we conducted in the tunnel
suspecting enough current was not being generated?
l don't think you realize who l am
Today we are inspecting the tunnel, let's go
We went inside the tunnel for inspection
We found a big fissure during that inspection
-Anita, shoot that - Okay, sir
Weren't you in charge of dam construction those days?
You didn't bother to use steel pipes before concreting, right?
l am the Chief Engineer How dare you question me?
l know what to do
Enough of this, switch it off, my girl
Video filemy foot!
But Varghese sir didn't give in
Due to the crack in the tunnel water can't be sent with greater force
That's why the power generated is lessening
The fissure will continue to widen
With lesser and lesser force in water power generation will gradually become nil
That can't be allowed, right? So l intend reporting this
And we'll move forward with plans to rebuild the tunnel
Piley Pilla, the contractor who built this dam is dead
lf irregularities are exposed 1st person to be trapped
will be the corrupt Electricity minister
He is C K Dinakaran, present Home minister
l've committed some blunders in the beginning of my political career
l will soon be celebrating 25 years of being an MLA
Now my good name and my reputation is in your hands
We will abandon the dam
The tunnel and its leaks will stop Just tell us what you want?
lf you plan to oppose it then your life will be at stake
This may have been a blunder committed in the zeal of your career
But the supervisor Thomas Kurien who pointed flaws in the tunnel
whom you killed was my father!
Thomas chetan is Varghese sir's father?
My intention is not revenge like in the movies
l won't allow the dam to be abandoned to hide the corruption of a handful of people
Don't think you can buy me Nor will your threats affect me
That video file is safe and well guarded by someone he trusts
That's why they won't harm him
But once they get the video file they'll finish him off!
Where is that file?
l don't know
You don't, eh? Come on, tell me
What the hell are you doing?
Do you think he'll entrust me with such a valuable evidence?
l don't have it
Neither do l know where it is
Where could he have?
l don't know
l'll find out
l won't allow the dam to be abandoned
Why are you getting involved in all this?
Remember that night you claimed you saw Koshy?
l knew you were right
l blindly opposed it to stop you from getting involved
Have you become so muddled?
An innocent man like you can't tackle them
Agitation will not help
Once Varghese sir is gone the dam will be abandoned
You, me and everybody else will leave looking for new means of livelihood
The Vellimala village will become a cemetery
Koshy?
Jenny?!
Brother
We read a news item about a cultural fest on green arts
A fund raising program in Mankulam
The president, Mercy teacher is our family friend
While Home Minister Dinakaran is the Chief Guest
...if the Home Minister supports us we can rescue Varghese sir easily
We plan to meet the Minister with the help of Mercy teacher
Trees stand to provide for others their shade and fruits
Good people on earth are like the trees; serving others while they suffer
Will all this fade away forever?
Will they never reappear?.
Flower gardens and glades Cool breeze, fields to graze
Will fields and forests perish in fires as mounds of ashes like funeral pyres
Forward or backward distraught Lost, directionless and misguided oft
Surging forward with screams, aimlessly This world turns unrecognizable, totally
Black acid rains and burning embers red fall on earth ceaselessly, heralding dread
Do we have another valley to go and repose silently
Black acid rains and burning embers red fall on earth ceaselessly, heralding dread
Do we have another valley to go and repose silently
Will all this fade away forever?
Will there be a dawn?
ls there a dawn, a new morn Will a new age here, be born
Bees hover over flowers, fishes swim in rippling rivers
Where the sky mirrors myriad of colors
When songs of birds trills with honeyed sweetness fills
Mother earth, like a Goddess gratified Times when mind was serenely satisfied
As light of a new dawn shines brightly rain on earth falls in showers of mercy
Will we find a valley more lovely A haven to live life contentedly?
As light of a new dawn shines brightly rain on earth falls in showers of mercy

Will all this fade away forever?
Come inside
lt's sheer luck we met you, sir
How can you discuss such a sensitive issue in a public place?
Come in
Wait here l'll be back with the minister
Okay, sir
You've come to meet the Home minister, eh?
Now the Minister is in need of your service
Shukur, get this girl into our vehicle We must take herto her father
Let me go
- Let me go - Move away
Get them
Come
Catch him
You?
The TV channel representative!
You get away from here
Go quickly
Shukur
Johnny
Narendra
Nodon't
Go after those kids and get them
You stupid fellow! You think you are a ClD?
Shukur?
Go and get him
Brother, come
Gogoquick!
What is it?
What Jenny says is true l'm not capable of anything
lf l decide to take action, Varghese sir and everybody else's life will be in danger
l should apologize You promised you'd find
my papa's kidnappers and you did
Didn't you save our lives?
lf you hadn't come, we'd be dead by now
Home Minister is with them, how will you manage?
Whoeverthe kidnappers might be l'm bravel know what to do
What kind of black magic is this?! Why must l alone suffer this?
Let's go, l need to do something
Good evening Lotus Hospital
Dr Ravindranath is available after 10:00 AM for consultation
l want to meet Dr Shivaprasad
Now? He can see you only tomorrow
lt's urgent, why don't you call him, he knows my case?
Good evening, Doctor Please hold on
Remember Varghese sir referring a case from Vellimala dam?
That's me, l must meet you urgently, doctor
Yes, doctor
Put 3 drops in each eye Now and in the morning
The other tests will be done tomorrow morning
ls Dr Shivaprasad an eye doctor?
Gopi Krishnan, right?
- Yes - Sit down
You returned from the army due to problems in eyesight, right?
That's what they told me
Was your eye injured any time?
When we fight for the country we don't think of our eyes or nose
You see clear and moving images, hmm?
Yes
Those images remain from a few seconds to a minute, right?
Yes
Do you see only human forms Or birds or animals also?
Sometimes l see a dog Suddenly a pit appears on the road
Explosion you faced has damaged your optical nerve
That damage has increased now
These optical nerves carry signals of images from the eyes to the brain
When these signals fail to reach the brain the brain itself begins to creates images
leading to a rare disease
CBS or Charles Bonnet Syndrome
Recently a common friend was diagnosed with CBS
There are many like this who share your predicament
People who have lived amidst unnatural deaths tend to think about it
The illusionary visions that occur are people whom you have known
How can l be cured?
CBS cannot be cured
lt usually lasts for a year or 2, sometimes more
What's important is your mental strength
You must firmly believe these images are caused purely by a defect of your vision
You can overcome this
lt has another major risk
There's no point hiding it from you
This is also an indicator
you might lose your eyesight in future
Why are you dumbfounded like this?
When l was told l was imagining!
Goodness! What torture l went through
But your eyesight in future?
All that is to be dealt with later lt is my personal problem
Now l can handle anything
Forthe sake of the dam For Varghese sir
l'll bring him from where ever he is l will definitely be able to
You must believe me
Hello?
lt's me, Chacko Gopi Krishnan
lt's him
Gopi, l knew you'd call
Just come here with the kids l'll save you from this mess
Don't worry Gopi, l'll influence the Minister
Did you think l called because l was shivering with fright?
Gopi, don't play with the Home Minister
- Your life can be ruined - l know it, dude
l have neither support nor people to back me
But l'll do what a man with guts will do
You can catch me, give me up to the police or anything else
You want to know our plans lsn't that why you are calling us?
Your life now will be eventful beyond your wildest imagination
Where did you trace the call to?
He called from Vandanmedu tower
Great, call the boys We'll get him immediately
Go fast, l say
Stopstop Reverse
Look! There he is Go, catch him
- Where is Gopi? - l don't know
- Give him a blow or 2 - You don't know, eh?
Give him 1 more
You fool, tell us where he is
l tell you, l don't know He left saying he'd find her dad
High hopes he'll find us Drag him into the car
Get in
Now go
Hello?
Minister, we've got the kids
They'll never see the outside world again
What about Gopi?
Since we have these 2 we'll soon get him also
We are taking them to Varghese
Do you need additional forces?
Not necessary, our boys are quite capable of handling this
Sure, once he sees his daughter he will talk about the video file
Everything will end today l'll call you back later
Where are you taking us?
Don't be in a hurry, Narendra, they are kids
After all we are taking them where their screams won't be heard
We'll deal with them there
- Sir? - Don't utter a word
Sir, please don't hurt me l'm innocent, l got trapped
She's also innocent l'll listen to all you say
lf l die, my family will suffer Don't harm me sir, please
Let's think about it
- Then shall l get out here - Get out?
From Mamalakandam bus stop l can take a bus back home
We'll decide whether to send you by bus or plane after reaching there
Get out
l told Chacko sir everything?
Sir, should l come in?
Simpson Bungalow! The name itself is so terrifying
Walk in
Let me go
Papa!
Now tell us, where is the video file you shot?
We don't intend troubling you any more
Hey you!
You will witness today what a father should not see
Jenny
Varghese just tell us where the video file is
Shukur, Johnny
Don't move!
What did you say? High hopes he'll find us!
l set up those kids as a ploy to find this place, rascal
From Mamalakandam bus stop l can take a bus back home
Simpson Bungalow...! The name itself is so terrifying
Varghese sir
- Papa! - My dear
- Stop there l say! - Let me go
Kill him, da!
Shukur, Johnny Come quickly
Hands up! Don't move l'll kill you!
Koshy! Go! Take them away
Jennyleave
Come on, quickly
Don't let them go Catch them, da!
PapaAnita chechi?
She would have come by now
This video file is equal to the cost of his life
l kept it safe and sound without giving in to any threat!
Electricity shortage looms large as a great disaster before our eyes
Every unit of electricity is precious and must be preserved
Hence this struggle
An ordinary but very brave man Gopi Krishnan's involvement
made it possible for me to bring these truths out
Shocking news behind decisions to abandon Vellimala dam revealed
Visuals of leakages in the tunnel
Strong evidence that can't be ignored has toppled...
...positions of top officials as well as the Home minister
What happened?
Catch him Don't let him go, da
Let's go Quick
Faster!
Gogo!
Go
Take this route Only then we can catch him
Go fast
Brother!
They won't be able to hurt Varghese sir anymore
Brother?
No, it's nothing Nothing
Come sit, brother
Soldiers live only for their motherland
The issues of the dam will be looked after by Varghese sir
Your problems also
When my people realize that l was responsible
seeing their happiness is my greatestjoy!
1st l must tell Anita it was a problem with my vision
l must tell her everything
Anybody belonging to Gopi Krishnan's family?
You can go in and see if you want
To take part in this memorial service dedicated to this brave soldier
his colleague and Chief Major Lt Col Rajagopalan is also here
Gopi's own land but without his existence!
l have many memories of that smart soldier and the many struggles we faced together
His great desire to fight for his Motherland often stunned me
lt was in one such incident his eyesight was affected
And he started seeing imaginary images
He was upset when he learned he had to quit the army
He burst out crying telling me
A soldier's duty is to fight the enemies for his country...
lt need not be on the war front
Till his last breath, Gopi was a true soldier!
Vellimala dam, once doomed to be abandoned is very much alive and functioning today
Gopi Krishnan, even today exists in Vellimala
Roaming and continuing to be its watchman
He wishes someone with an eye-syndrome would see and recognize his presence...
He waits eternally, with hope in his heart!
