Dheeran (ധീരൻ)

Erode

Suhail..

What's he calling me for?

You know what Abu Ikka's like, right?

Hmm.

I do and that's what freaks me out.

Well, Ikka went boating in the Ukkadam lake seems like a sabotage, the boat flipped.

You see that guy back there, that Eldose..

he jumped in and pulled Ikka out.

Since then, he is with Ikka.

He first offered him a driver's job.

But then..

he didn't know driving.

So Ikka made him a helper.

He was scared of enemies mauling him with a big vehicle..

So, he exchanged his car for this lorry.

To put it simply..

consistently, day after day..

his brain function is decreasing and fear is increasing.

Huh?

Yeah!

Musk does not sell like before.

Demand for black opium is high now.

Perfume works best on pulse points.

Like this, watch.

Ah!

Peace be upon you

And peace be upon you too

Go in and take a seat. I'll be right there.

Ok.

come, let's go!

So, where were we?

Pulse point!

I didn't call you for anything serious.

Just I haven't really slept in days.

To be precise..

Ever since you shut this place down and left.

Ikka, you don't have to worry about me.

I'm living a whole different life now..

with my family.

Hmm

25 years ago when I rolled from Neeleswaram to Erode..

all I had was a box of perfumes..

and some guts.

That same box is worth ten thousand now..

..but guts?

Hmm.

What would I do to you, Ikka?

Hey, this isn't your fault. It's mine.

I just overthink everything and now look where I'm at.

What's it called again, Eldose?

Anxiety!

Yeah that! Anxiety!

For a year and a half now, I have not come near your shadow..

..nor am I planning to either.

Till a year back..

you knew even the colour of my underwear, Siddique.

Ikka! Ikka!

Please think about my family atleast!!!

Peace of mind! That's what a man lives for..

..without that, what's the point?

Don't hand over the body to his family.

His wife has seizures or something.

Clean all this and come out.

Ikka..

Ikka, here take this.

Eldose..

Are you planning to continue life brewing tea and burying bodies.

Don't you want a promotion?

I'm no Godfather from some movie that only helps the helpless.

Got that?

A father who avenges a daughter's rape..

and a man who kills his wife, to be with his girlfriend, are all the same to me.

I've had plenty of dirty friends from that world..

and the worst one was Saravanan.

Ten, twelve years ago..

he used to work for me in Suhail's place.

But then..

he tried to backstab me..

to become independant.

Things soured between us after that.

Now look at Saravanan he's the king in Denkanikottai..

maybe even bigger than me.

He's the only one who knows all my weak spots..

and the only one who can finish me off.

He should be finished off by someone on the inside.

Someone who's got both brains and guts.

Eldose..

Aren't you that "Dheeran" from Malayattoor?

You have to go to Denkanikottai..

and finish Saravanan.

You have to do it.

Oh god!!

Hey, an owl is hooting.

So what, should I hoot along with it?

Put some salt and chilli on the stove.

Won't let me sleep in peace!

Oh no! Goddess!!!

What's that?

Oh no!!

What happened?

Oh god!!

What happened to him?

Oh god!

Oh no, what's going on!?

What's wrong?

Please get up dear!

Someone! Please come quick!

Oh god..

Oh my god!!

Aruvi!

Son, Aruvi!!

Please get up!!

Aruvi!!

Oh god!

Jalaja!

Jalaja!

Oh dear goddess. Who am I supposed to call now?

Is the brew done?

Can't say for sure..

maybe by tomorrow evening.

Look at this two sacks enough?

Nutmeg, rubber latex..

Yeah, two sacks are enough!

Yeah okay!

Okay, settled!

What are you doing?

If my brother catches me..

I will slip away easily.

Oh no, it went in my eye!

Oh goddess mother!

Pardon all my sins!

Hardly any frogs here, Spineesh.

Yeah man, full of leeches though!

That owl has been hooting for long now.

Wonder who's going to die.

Spineesh, my dear, just shut it man.

Snakes will be out hunting for frogs at this time.

All this while here and we have caught just 4 frogs.

Why will a snake even bother.

Frog?

Check that corner.

Give it a whack!

This place is all muck!

Can't even step in properly!

Why's he calling now?

Who's it?

Abbas Ikka.

oh no! I'm scared!

Yes Abbas Ikka!

Hey, were you sleeping?

No Ikka!

I was reading a poem.

Da, our Nanu Ettan collapsed while peeing.

Come quick and bring the vehicle.

Oh no!

What happened to him?

No clue!

There's a paddy field nearby, right..

there are a lot of snakes.

You are done if they get your smell even.

Huh?

I didn't ask you to collect muck.

Oh! Ok Ikka, I'm on the way.

Ok.

Hey, I have to go.

You catch frogs, I am taking this.

Should I catch frogs with my lungi now?

Use whatever, man!

You have to understand one thing very well from now on.

Ok. When I break the lock, don't stand so close. Got it?

Got it, sir!

Why is there an ambulance here?

Oh no!

Should we go back?

No, let's see what happened.

You take the sack and go, I'll join you later.

Ok.

Instead of crowding around like this move back a bit, let some air through!

Oh god!

Careful!

What happened to him? A heart attack?

No clue, Joppan!

All I heard was the cry of 'oh goddess!'.

What is it with you Joppan..

why are you oiled up at midnight.

I was just about to head for a bath in the river.

The climate. The heat's unbearable.

Looks like an attack for sure.
