Kanaka Simhasanam (കനക സിംഹാസനം)

'Kottaram theatres.'

Who is there?

It's time for me to go hunting.

Who is there? - Get lost!

There is no one there. I am Ayyappan.

Ayyappan? Whatever.

Is my chariot ready to go for hunting?

What chariot?

I can arrange some cars for you.

Well.. Who the hell are you?

Velu who acts as the watchman

is asking for the last play's pay.

I am just a guy who brings the tea.

I just came here.

This is a drama actor, Kasargode Kanakambaran.

Since he always plays the historical stories

he is also called the Raja Part Kanakambaran

by the drama fans.

Priyamvadha.

Anasooya, where is my love?

He will be here soon.

God will hear your prayer, your highness..

My love. Oh, beautiful.

I have been searching for you, my love.

What happened, my love? Are there any problems?

The lender Avarachan and Ravuthar are here to see the play.

Oh, God! - The lady is Marthandom Bharathi.

She is Kanakambaran's partner in the play and life.

If Kanakambaran is Lord Rama

then Bharathi will be Seetha.

If Bharathi is Damayanti

then Kanakambaran will be Nala.

Where was the play? - Kottarakkara temple. - Okay.

I feel good when serving tea to drama actors.

Don't you ever want to act again

Mr. Kaimal.

Only Kuchela's role will suit me now.

This is Mr. Kaimal.

He used to be an actor.

He is Kanakambaran's father.

He parted ways since his son married an actress

and started a food stall.

The drama troop became Kanakambaran's responsibility.

The troop was in a loss.

This is the story

of that Kanakambaran who is neck deep in debt.

It's been too long..

Hello. Get up, mister.

What?

Step out of the vehicle.

Vehicle? It's a chariot.

Whatever.

Give me the money. I need to go.

Money? It's gold coins, Kumaran.

How do you know my name?

My name is Kumaran. KK Kumaran. - Is it?

Someone bring me the pouch.

I don't want any pouch.

Don't mess with me. - How dare you, common man?

If you don't want any pouch, I'll give you something. Look there.

What?

Oh, no! Are you crazy?

Yes, I am crazy.

I have full-blown madness.

Catch him! - What? "Mother of 12 children"

"I am the madman among them." - Get him! - Wait!

Glasses.. - Don't.

Good morning, Doctor. - Good morning.

I am Kanakambaran. - Hello.

Not just any Kanakambaran, I am Lord Kanakambaran. - What?

Yes.

I crossed the Pullani river by myself

to burn down the enemy's fort.

But I couldn't. - Don't. - I forgot to take the matches.

Come on. - I am the great one whom every madman here respects. - Come.

Haven't you heard any of my brave stories, Doctor?

What do you want? - An admission here.

I don't understand. - I will make you understand.

A bed with a chain on it.

Sorry, there is no bed and chain left free here.

I am a madman, Doctor. Treat me.

You are not mad.

Don't waste my time and leave. - No.

I am mad. - No!

I am! - No! - Yes! - Get out!

Ready the chains. - What?

I am not mad, is it? - Oh, no!

What? - Don't! - No!

I am mad! - Move! - No!

Don't do it! - Move!

What is this? - Oh, no! - Give him a shock treatment.

Yes. What? No! No shock treatment.

Get him! - Just the pills are enough for now.

Wait here. I will be right back. - Okay. - Come on.

Mister.

What? - Mister.

Did my husband come here?

There are a lot of husbands here.

Which one is your husband?

Don't you know Kanakambaran and me? - No.

Everyone knows the famous Raja Part Kanakambaran.

And I am

Marthandom Bharathi, who got two state awards.

I don't watch TV.

Okay. Tell me.

Did someone who looks like Lord Rama come here?

Yes. A guy saying that he was a king

was here a while ago. - Really?

That must be Kanakambaran.

Go quickly. He is at the back.

Help me, God.

Dear Kanakambaran. - What?

What happened, Kanakambaran?

Who are you? Leave me alone.

Who is she? - My wife.

Get lost! - Are you a nurse here?

Don't joke around? - Dad. - What is it?

W-Who is this kid?

Don't do this, Kanakambaran.

You can act on the stage. Please come with me.

I am a madman. I don't know you.

Please chain me, Doctor. - Don't do it.

He is just acting like that, Doctor.

He is a good actor.

He is just faking it.

Please let him go, Doctor. - Pay for the seven mud pots.

Mud pot? Is this some business? - Not that.

Flower vases. He broke them.

Okay. How much is it?

Rs. 750.

750? - Yes. - Was it gold plated?

I will give you 600. - What?

Okay. All right.

Thanks. - What?

Right. - Oh, no!

My purse got switched, Doctor.

I will give you a cheque. - What?

Did you bring that?

No, I didn't. - Really? - I will give it to you tomorrow.

Please, Doctor.

Well.. - Let them go. - Okay.

Okay. Get out of here.

Thanks. - Let him go. - Okay.

They are drama artists.

Must be some financial problem.

Let's go. - I am not coming.

Don't make me angry, Kanakambaran.

O-Okay.

The lenders will kill me. - I took care of that.

Swear in her name. - I promise. - Stop!

What? Did you come in this? - Yes.

Who is going to pay?

I hid this from the doctor. - You are good. Come on. - Come.

Okay, let's go.

We are here!

How much is it? - 150.

Give me the money. - No. I can do that.

It's Rs. 500. - He will give you the rest.

He will, but you won't. - Bloody hell!

I don't like this at all.

I need to know one thing.

Who among us is husband, here?

Soon, I will have to be the husband.

Come on, dear. - Don't mess with me.

Were you in some conference here?

We were hiding in there before you locked it. - What?

We knew that you would fall for that.

Give us the money, Kanakambaran. - Let go!

Kanakambaran, we will shoot you. Stop!

I won't stop. - You will get shot.

It won't. I have a bullet proof skin.- Wait!

Why are you running, Kanakambaran?

I am running for India in the next Olympics. This is the rehearsal.

You always make us laugh when we come here.

You can't escape us this time.

Where is the money? - Stop!

Bharathi. - Yes. Get the book. - What?

We are going to get it. - Yes.

How much is it Mr. Avarachan? - 38,800 with interest. - Yes.

Did you round it up? Is this right? - Thank you.

How much, Chettiar? - 72,000. - Is this correct? - That's good.

Mine will be all there.

You haven't even paid a little of it.

I know. That's why I wrote in bold

about the Rs. 19,999. Are you happy now? - Okay.

Mine is pending. - Yes. No need to mention it.

I have marked yours separately

since you are high on interest. See?

Perfect. - I hope you all are satisfied. - We are..

See you, then. - Okay.. - Double okay.

Wait up!

Didn't we come here to get our money back? - Yes.

Did we get it? - No.

Why are we leaving, then?

I don't know. - Kanakambaran!

Burp!

I was a bit dramatic.

Tasty green gram fry

and chutney made with ginger

would have made the meal great. - Eat what we have.
