Adhyarathri (അഭ്യരാത്രി)

Kumaran, you're being too miserly here.

If I say any further, I'll.... - Master, talk to her, please.

This Tresyamma has been doing this job for 30 years now.

I have conducted around 200 weddings as well. In many ways!

But this is the first time something so cheap has happened.

This wedding was not fixed yesterday or today, right?

But now, it's like you're searching for a ground when you feel like shitting!

Tresyamma has a point, President.

My dear Tresyamma,

if a girl's wedding doesn't happen in the name of dowry,

it's the people here who are disgraced.

Dowry?

Manoharetta!

Chetta, move it fast. - Where were you, Kunjatta?

I've been waiting for so long.

Here.

I'll give now.

Hey!

Didn't you hear that old hag shouting over there?

Ask her to get lost!

Dude, you...!

Fish!

Brewed fish!

It's a great cure for bronchitis!

Come here. - What is it?

Please.

Nuisance! Hold this.

Okay!

Why did you call me?

I've been wanting to say something to you for many days now, Anila dear.

Don't you have any shame, Satheeshetta?

On the wedding eve of the girl you were going after,

you're trying the same tricks on her younger sister?

Well, I had a different approach towards Anitha.

Oh no! - Are you going? Stop, Anitha.

I mean, Anila.

Listen to me.

Continue, Satheeshan.

Say it... Don't be afraid.

Her elder brother is asking, right? Say it! - I don't have anything to say!

I'm getting tensed seeing all this. - Watch & learn!

It's your wedding next month, right?

Welcome!

There's your father.

Welcome! Welcome!

Look who's standing here proudly! - Come here.

Hey! I'll have a couple of drinks today.

Just 2 drinks! - That's all!

You rascal! I know what your intentions are!

For now, the bride's brother should stand here & welcome the guests.

Where are you going, dad? - Let me go have a couple of drinks!

Aren't you my sweetheart? - Okay! Go!

Let this be an auspicious start!

Cheers!

Where did she go?

Won't you come early tomorrow? The auspicious time is at 8.30 AM.

I'll come. - Let's go together.

Shalini!

Don't you have a petromax lamp? - During the wedding eve!

Go and check the fuse!

Isn't it dark? Shall I check after the power is back? - Go & check, I say!

You'll drive me crazy!

Josetta, will you sort it anytime soon?

I'll sort it out right away! - You needn't keep saying it.

1... 2... 3... - Phew! Thank God!

Okay, Chetta. - Bye, Chetta.

Manoharan, is there anything left at home?

This Josettan is too much!

Kunjatta...

Dude...

There is some problem.

Master...

Look.

What is it, Master?

She's gone!

Without telling anyone, Anitha left.

How can we stand idle, Master!

Shouldn't we bring her back?

Come, Master.

No!

You should be here.

Master, she will listen to me.

Manoharan! You should stay here.

Leave me, Master.

Son...

It's not just one person who's gone!

It's two people!

Dad!!

Dad! Get up, dad!

Dad!

Open your eyes, dad!

Dad!

Open your eyes, dad!

'May the eyes not turn moist'

'May the mind not falter'

'Don't be weak even for a moment, O dear flower'

'Up in the sky, beyond the clouds'

'As a symbol of mercy'

'There is the light of the moon shining bright for you, always with you'

'While you close your eyes daily'

'I shall sing as the breeze of the country roads'

'I'll caress you as the finger of sun rays, to wake you up in the morning'

Master...

We have a marquee and chairs here already, right?

Master...

This wasn't supposed to end this way!

Ask those who went in search of her, to come back, Master.

No one has to come back here now.

Son...

'When your feet burn on the path of fire, I'll shower as a rain upon you from my heart'

'I shall awaken within you, as hundred wings'

'To cross the distances of time'

'I shall be the food in your hands'

'To feed the little dove, on her lips'

'I shall be the shadow of your life, without moving away even for a second'

'Continue the journey of your life, rise up as much you dreamt'

It's difficult to leave this house with this girl, one fine morning...

But I'm helpless, Manoharan.

One month. I can't extend it any further, son.

Ikka, some more time? - I'm helpless, dear.

I'll pay some money for the time being and handle Ithakka.

You go ahead. - Okay, Master.

'I shall wait for you at this courtyard,

for you to perform rituals of my death anniversary'

'I shall write lessons with the font of love'

'In each chapter of life'

'To hold on to while you fall down'

'As a pillar of memories at the edge of the verandah'

'I shall be the shadow of your life, without moving away even for a second'

'Continue the journey of your life, rise up as much you dreamt'

'O lovely cloud, Shyama... Come to me, with your message of love'

Some people here are throwing so much attitude, ever since their wedding got fixed.

Don't act so tough, Shyama. The boat will topple.

And, if you have any doubts about marriage, just ask this Satheeshettan.

I'll clear everything.

Go and clear it for your wife, you rascal!

Girls look really beautiful when they are angry!

Oh no! He seems to be quite angry!

I think the weather would turn quite bad!

Would there be rain and thunder?

There won't be rain, but thunder is confirmed!

Chetta, can you take me to a different bank?

Wherever I take you, you'll get what you deserve!

He is coming. Don't let him get away.

Let him get down.

Don't jump! If you jump, I'll come swimming & catch you!

Come here!

Should I?

Manoharan!

You're angry that I didn't visit you after your dad died, right?

Leave me. - Don't say anything. Let's have a tea.

Take your hands off! - Come with me!

What's the point saying that it's the famous Madayimattam house?

If the girl is wayward, it's done for, right?

It's been a while since both of them have been going around in Aleppey.

Everything that had to happen has already happened. That's what I heard.

You hag! If you speak any further, I'll chop off your tongue!

Whom are you trying to scare?

It's the family which should stop the girl from going wayward.

You have a younger sister, right? Who knows who all she would go with? - You hag!

I'll... - No, Manoharetta!

Leave him! Let me see what he will do!

If you want to see how weddings of girls from good families are conducted,

come for Sukumaran's daughter's wedding next week.

I'll save a plate for you!

To hog and go! - Leave me!

Whom are you staring at?

Get lost!

You bloody hag!

Aren't you done yet? - Yes.

You go ahead. - Aren't you coming?

No. You go and give it.

Hi ladies!

Chechi!

Move away!

Manoharetta, there's a big problem.

This wedding won't happen.

What is it? - The bride has Saturn's curse in her horoscope.

Sukumarettan fixed the wedding, hiding that fact.

Knowing that, the groom's family and villagers have come here.

You could have mentioned it to them, Sukumaretta.

But now...

Manoharan...

During the match making, I had told everything privately to the groom.

He said he doesn't have any problem!

What more can I do, son?

Come.

We'll sort it out.

Master...

I'll tell you one solution.

I've spoken to them & arrived at a compromise. - What is it?

Well, if you're ready to make some more offers regarding the dowry,

this wedding will happen on time, as promised.

Otherwise? - How can you say this at this last moment, Tresyamma?

I borrowed money from everywhere I could,

and sold everything I had, to conduct this wedding.

What's remaining is this house, and 10 cents of land.

Then you can write it in the groom's name, right?

So, shall I give them your word?

Where will I go with my wife, and my two younger daughters?
