Padakkalam (പടക്കളം)

During a time when magic and sorcery were common...

the ruler of Vijayanagaram, King Adhithya, created a magical artefact for his leisure.

The king, who frequently used the artefact,

understood that its possibilities exceed the realm of leisure.

After realizing that what he possessed had the capacity to control the world...

he tried to keep the artefact's existence a secret, but in vain.

The person who learns about this is none other than Tippu Sultan!

With his huge army and crafty schemes, Tippu Sultan brought down King Adithya...

and seized possession of the artefact.

Tippu, who set out to conquer the world...

used this artefact as his most powerful weapon,

until he encountered Karthika Thirunal, the King of Travancore.

With the help of the great wizard Karinkutty, Karthika Thirunal defeats Tippu.

Karthika Thirunal took possession of that artefact from Tippu.

Upon realising the danger the object posed...

and in order to prevent it from being misused...

he buried it at the very spot where he won the battle...

and marked its location on palm leaves, keeping it confidential.

Over the centuries, the existence of the artefact faded into oblivion.

History turned into a fable and was whispered within the royal dynasty.

But generations later...

someone unravelled the history hidden in these fables.

He came back to the very place where Karthika Thirunal won the battle...

in order to uncover the truth.

This memorial was erected by His Highness Karthika Thirunal Ramavarma...

to mark his victory against Tippu Sultan.

It's not Chithira Thirunal. It's Karthika Thirunal College.

There were people in my home yesterday.

It's okay. I will order it again... This time to the college.

7B..

What a pity!

Can you get me a Time Machine ?

For what?

I had ordered a t-shirt online.

Apparently, if I had ordered it a day earlier, they would have delivered it yesterday.

Why don't you order Surya's watch from 24 movie? That's how we do it.

Sit and draw, man!

- Time machine, my foot! - I was being serious. Get lost!

Oh! You were being serious? Then let's say the other one.

In that case, better call Superman, reverse the spin of the earth, and time travel.

- Aren't my jokes funny anymore? - No, this one was good.

How about ordering some food to shut his mouth?

- Yes, please. - Four cream buns.

There's no class today, nerds. It's a strike.

This is for the first period.

You guys call for strike only after the first period, right?

Why can't they call for the strike before class starts?

Exactly!

It's PR work. They want students in the class.

His bloody PR!

They are old enough to graduate twice... Still calling strikes in college.

What's this?

What's this?

Since she was in NIT for the dance competition...

we couldn't talk for two weeks. So this is a compensating gift for her.

- It's duplicate. - This dog chain?

It's not a dog chain. It's a cycle chain.

For what?

- In memory of our first meeting. - Oh, good.

What's its connection with the cycle chain?

Yes, what's the connection?

Well...

When we were in 10th class, she used to be very pretty.

- I mean... she's still pretty. - Oh, cringe.

Once, while she was coming back from tuition, she was hit by a cycle.

- Oh no! - Then...

And then you went to help her, your eyes met, and you guys fell in love, right?

Not like that...

It was my cycle that hit her.

And she got hospitalized.

So it was I who helped her with her notes for two weeks.

And slowly, we fell in love.

Hi.

I just had enough for the day, can't take this anymore.

What about your cream bun?

Brother, parcel our cream buns.

I'm thinking of dropping engineering and doing a Shakthiman movie.

I think that's going to be my career.

Then I won't have to see your faces daily.

How's it?

Shakthiman retired from acting. He's old now.

- Is it? - How about Tovino?

No, man. He became a super star after Minnal Murali. He won't come.

Can you please stop this!

Students our age are protesting...

- And you're discussing superheros. - Listen...

This protest matters only within the college.

But Shakthiman is pan-Indian...

What happened? Didn't she like your dog chain?

Ramzad!

What happened? You guys broke up?

No, but it will happen soon.

Whenever there was a problem in our relationship, you were always the one to point it out first.

- What happened now? - Listen..

Jeevika, it's strike today.

Shall we plan the trophy treat today?

Okay.

You'll be there, right? Don't fool us.

- I will try. - Try?

- How can we celebrate without you? - Okay, I will come.

Where are you planning to come?

Wherever you want me to come.

It's not like how you asked for directions in Kannada when we were in Bangalore.

No, I will be there.

I can pick you up if you want.

- I have arranged a bike. - Hey...

Can you please let us talk in private?

You need my permission to talk to your girlfriend in private?

Nice.

Jeevika... Don't be late.

Hm.

What's going on here?

See, it's because I couldn't stay away from you that...

I took admission in the same college and same branch as you.

And you know very well about the effort I had to put in for that.

The same me didn't feel anything when I didn't see you for 10 days.

That means there's something wrong.

Hey!

Does she...

Does she like anyone else?

I don't know. She didn't say the reason clearly.

To be honest...

You could be the reason.

- Me? - Of course!

She's someone who's always outgoing.

And you're the kind of person who stays quietly in a corner.

You guys are not compatible.

That's not the reason.

She is sitting there, and I'm sitting here.

- This distance is the problem. - This guy!

Listen, if you want to overcome your present condition...

you should accept that this is a breakup.

Forget her!

It's not as simple as you're saying.

Look here.

You'll soon go to Germany.

Why do you need unnecessary complications with her?

So better end it soon.

Okay, what should I do now?

There's an idea.

Not sure if it would work out.

Take a paper.

Write down whatever you feel about her, even if it's trash.

Once you are done pouring your heart out...

burn that paper.

Won't he feel better when it burns to ashes?

- Superb idea, man! - Thank you.

Unnecessarily inspired by Bollywood.

Hey, can you give me a paper?

Sir, it's strike today.

Let them come. We can study till then.

What the hell!

Don't even know how to respect teachers!

So today we're learning about parabolic...

Who threw it?

Hey, who threw it?

Don't act street with your professor.

- Is it needed? - Write it. No issue.

How dare you make fun of me?

What's this?

- Nothing, sir.. - Nothing?

You guys are so arrogant.

When someone is taking class here, what are you doing sitting on the front bench?

- Sir, it was urgent work. - What urgency?

Sir, his new cartoon must have gotten released.

Who made that comment?

Hey!

I will deal with you after reading this.

Dear comrades...

- Do you know what is happening in our college? - Hey! Hey!

- Didn't you see me standing here? - Sir, it's strike.

So? Show some basic manners.

Sir, don't make a scene.

If you want to speak anything here, politely take my permission first. Got it?

It's because of this "politeness" that the students are suffering now.

Sir, this strike is regarding the qualifications of your HOD, whom you people "politely" chose.

Can't you talk like a normal human?

Sir, if you have any frustrations at home, don't take them out on the students.

How dare you! Get out!

Hey, who are you to touch me?

Move!

What's the issue?

- Shaji Sir is having a tiff with Praveen. - Tiff?

Hello! Hello!

You think you can act smart just because you're a professor?

- Let me see. Make way! - Let go of me!

Move aside! Move aside!

What happened?

We came to call strike and this man...

Sir, let them call strike.

They should do that without creating a ruckus in the class.

Sir, how can we expect them to behave like we say?

They will do even worse once they step into society.

Sir, students will definitely react. Let them react if they see something wrong.

They should do the same when they step into society.

You go ahead.

The problem here is regarding your HOD.

The very person who's supposed to sign your certificates.

So you should be the ones to step up and boycott the class more than anyone else.

On Strike! On Strike!
