Karakkam (കറക്കം)

The world we have seen with our eyes,

and heard with our ears,

beyond that world,

lies another hidden, dark reality.

Carrying the weight of unfulfilled dreams

and the fierce intensity of unquenchable wrath,

some wander here as frightening shadows.

Every move we make,

every fear within our minds,

they know it all.

Do not close your eyes.

Because, closer than you might think,

they are right beside you.

LAST DECEMBER...

Whoever's off,

be off…

Buzz off!

If they wanna go,

let 'em gooo…

Buzz off!

Gooo...

Who's there?

Huh?

"St. Johnyppally Cemetery, Kochi"

Already buried them, still shut the gates, eh!

Oh, it was open?

Everyone's here!

Does anyone even come here?

Where's she?

Oh, my darling Lillykutty...

My beloved Lillykutty...

Now you've got new mates

and I'm not needed anymore.

Lillykutty...

Our nation's gone to the dogs.

You escaped early.

Lucky you!

This beard and hair I grew for you,

I'll shave it tomorrow.

Oh no.

Sorry.

Sorry, buddy.

I am the sorry!

Hey, Manoj! The Jankar boat is here!

No cash for even a beer on New Year's!

Don't look at me. I've got nothing.

But I'll take care of it next New Year.

Wow! That's the same line you said last year!

Listen, be at the location tomorrow morning.

Don't make me get shouted at.

We will take care of it, Pinky.

Don't worry.

Not trusting you lot!

Happy now?

I hear this occasionally.

I never knew there was such a charming fellow in Kochi,

that he's in love with a girl,

that he's got a father, mother, and a sister.

I didn't know any of that till tonight.

We're meeting each other only tonight.

Tonight's the New Year party at Ambika Lodge hosted by Django Jackson.

Good thing you turned up today.

Mom and I were about to file

a missing person's complaint.

Nice.

Haven't fixed that money issue yet, have you?

Best question to ask right when I step in!

It'll be sorted by tomorrow evening.

If Mr Dancer Extraordinaire can't repay the van loan,

say it straight.

Oi, girl… got 500 rupees

-for diesel? -I've got nothing.

Called Dhanalakshmi, but more like Dhana-bankrupt!

-You just came. Where are you off now? -Somewhere peaceful!

-Right, aunty? -I know what your 'peaceful spot' is!

'AMBIKA LODGE'

Baby, this lodge looks very cheap.

I deserve something better. Okay?

Baby, you have me. What you need more?

Don't waste time.

This is the safest place in Kochi. Yeah!

So, you've been here before, Romi?

Oh, God! It was alone.

Today I'll show you something special, baby. Come.

-If I don't like it, I'll leave. -You'll like it, baby.

Baby, you stay here.

Hey, bro.

Come here.

Did you fix the shaky bed?

-Sorted. -And the hole…?

-In the door? -Sorted that too.

Perfect! Baby! Come on!

-Sorted... sorted.... -Come here.

-It's all sorted... -I'll put an end to all your whining now.

Hello.

Hey, man! Where is Jackson?

Can't reach him on the phone.

Exactly what I want to ask you.

Where is he?

He said it was for the New Year's party

and collected money from everyone here.

Where did he disappear to then?

See, his room key is here.

He left, saying he would get the materials for the party.

Now both he and the drinks are missing!

Don't worry, bro.

You don't know him.

He'll be here on time.

Will he?

Hope he arrives on time.

Dammit! This isn't opening!

What's this, man?

Come here, girl.

Hey! Hey!

Come on...

Baby, I'm coming!

Huh? Who turned off the music?

Who are these guys?

After taking money our money for the party,

-are you having it here? -Hey, man.

This party is hosted by Harishchandran.

You dare walk in and threaten Harishchandran's turf?

Smash them, guys!

Hit 'em!

Music!

Leave me! My coat will tear.

This way! Come!

Getting shot was better than this!

Open up!

I won't open, you dogs!

Good Mother!

Oh, dear! Come on, leave.

-Leave. -Who are you?

-Who are you? -You hop in my van and then ask who I am?

We were rushing to escape from that mayhem,

and that's when we met.

Is this your van? Then start it and leave!

Thank you!

-Hey! Stop the vehicle! -Brother, don't stop.

-Please don't stop, bro. They're behind us. -Take me too, you rascals!

This buddy is so good at wriggling out of any mess...

I didn't expect that I'd end up on a mad ride with him!

I want to go somewhere deserted and sleep.

Keep driving like this, we'll end up in a bloody graveyard!

Good Mother!

We made it.

Where?

Oh no! Cemetery!

We could've gone somewhere less deserted.

Get down, man.

-Got clobbered from all sides today. -Clobbered?

And a good beating. It's New Year.

Thought I'd have a drink in peace, but…

No kidding!

-I'm Kajah. Portrait artist. -Wah!

My name is Dhanush.
