Moothon (മൂത്തോന്‍)

[...tell me the tale of the almighty one's gift...]

Mulla!

Come, let's go!

It's tied securely, right?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Yeah, hop on.

Come on, push!

What now?

I've told you not to come asking for the kids, right?

Look at you, tattered clothes and what not?

I better not see you around here again.

You're nothing but a bad influence on them.

How dare you walk off when I'm talking?

- Been trying to act smart, huh, whimp? - Get off me!

Here's how you ought to dress up.

Run, run!

Stop dreaming and help me.

Take that and catch some fish.

You won't have to do this much longer.

Your aunt will come and take you with her.

I've become a burden for you, haven't I?

Nice try.

You pull this trick every time she comes.

Only a woman can take care of you at this age.

I want to get out of here.

I want to find my big brother.

You can't be like him just by wearing his clothes.

Did he ever bother to check on you?

What does he think?

That I'll take care of you forever?

He didn't even come when your mother died. - That's because no one informed him.

He won't be found because he doesn't want to be.

Everyone changes on reaching the mainland.

Everyone.

Is he in Bombay?

I don't know, nor do I care.

Are all the stories about him true?

Everyone loves a good fairytale, don't they?

He was a smart man, like your father.

Everyone used to love watching him perform 'kuthu ratheeb.'

Then, why did he leave?

Was it Aamina's curse?

I don't know any Aamina.

The only Aamina I know is the 3 foot long, succulent fish.

Almost impossible to find.

Akbar once caught it...

...but he let it go.

Hit him!

Hit him!

Look at this boy's face.

I've had it.

Always up to no good.

I don't think Moosa can take care of me anymore.

I really feel my brother's absence now.

Moosa gets irritated whenever I mention him.

I will definitely find my brother.

Where will you search though?

He went missing in the sea, right? How are you sure he's even alive?

I heard he left this island heartbroken.

He's not the kind of guy who would leave this island because of a failed relationship.

Exactly!

There was no one like him in the 'madrassa.'

He cured my grandmother's illness by performing 'kuthu ratheeb.'

She passed away as soon as he left.

Do you remember his face?

No.

There are a few photos of him, but none of those are clear.

Only Aamina's face is recognizable.

Is that why you've been asking around for her number?

Isn't she in Bombay? It's a huge city.

How will you get there? They don't sell tickets to kids.

Swimming there is an option.

I can take our boat. The tide will take me there.

What if it takes you to China? I heard they eat kids there.

Where is he?

He must be stuck somewhere. He said he got Aamina's number.

What will you ask Aamina?

Will you get straight to the point?

I'll tell her I'm coming to Bombay.

You need money to survive there till you meet her.

We can catch some fish and sell it.

One good catch will fetch us good money.

There he is!

How much do we owe him?

We'll sort that later. Let's get the number first.

Here's the number.

Where's my money?

Umm... Give us a few days.

We'll pay you first.

Don't try to fool me, okay?

You lot will come to me asking for help again.

I'll set you straight then.

Add some more masala. - And end up crying like last time?

Flip it.

Isn't it time to go home?

Go home!

I said, go home!

Why are you shouting?

You guys are bad influences! Go now!

Let's go. -He's getting riled up for no reason.

What did you say? - Nothing!

Go!

Why'd you ask Bakker for Aamina's number?

How many times have I told you not to go searching for your brother's stories?

It's all my fault.

I should have been more strict with you.

Don't you dare pull such stunts again.

This is your last warning.

Incorrigible kids, Moosa. What can we do?

Our hands are tied.

We've reached the Mumbai dock.

We'll be out in a half hour. So, get ready.

Who the hell peed in the pan?

- Will your mom clean this up? - Hey, shut up!

Throw this guy out!

Bloody addict.

Give me a cigarette!

Give me a bloody cigarette!

Is anyone listening?

Shall I throw you in there as well?

Are you guys dead?

Step back, kid.

He's intoxicated. He'll tear you apart.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

What?

- I want to go home! - I want to go home!

Sit down.

Greetings.

My name is Prasanth.

This is our orphanage's warden.

You told me about a child over the phone.

Oh, yes. It's that one sitting there.

Oi, you!

Decided to bathe after all, huh?

Are you going to bathe with your clothes on?

You see that drawing?

It's my work of art.

Are you not understanding what I'm saying?

Here, you want a soap bar?

Towel?

A hot kiss?

Did someone mess with you?

I didn't do anything.

That kid tried to kiss me!

Didn't like the people here?

Didn't like me?

Come on.

Take it off.

Take it off.

I said, take it off.

Run, run!

Hey, stop right there!

You lot, get back here right now!

Did he touch you?

Tell me.

Do you want to escape from this place?

My mother...

She's the heroine of Kamathipura.

She loves me a lot.

The cops forcefully brought me here.

They said she's not capable of taking care of me.

But, she's badass.

Mother?

Rosy.

Kamathipura is close by.

Kamathipura...

Hey!

Close the gate!

Security!

Close the gate!

Stop him!

Hey, catch the ball!

Catch the ball, man!

He can't even catch a ball!

Hey, nuthead!

Never played cricket before?

At least pass the ball!

Got money on you?

Rosy?

Rosy...

Oi, Rosy!

Rosy!

Who is so excited about me?

What?

Raju...

Come upstairs.

Raju sent you here?

What's your name?

Are you dumb or do you not understand my language?

Raju.

Come.

You sneaked out of the children's home, didn't you?

Look at your clothes.

It's all torn.

Sit!

You know the rules, Rosy.

Bhai decides what goes on in Kamathipura.

Leave that to me.
