Stop there, Diya!
Stay put, kids!
- Grandma, tell her to stop.
- Stop.
Diya, stop!
Come on, kids! Stay put!
Give it to me.
- Both of you are gonna get it!
- No!
Reena! Do you see this?
Diya!
Where's Manuel?
The kids have their program today.
Here.
He couldn't even be bothered
to take them.
Just give him a call.
He's at the club, Mom.
He must be with his friends.
If you turn a blind eye to all this,
you'll only suffer.
- Can you give us some coconut water?
- There you are!
Yes, yes.
Slowly.
He was in the Gulf,
taking good care of his family here.
Enough, enough. It's over.
Now all he does is drink
alcohol and roam around.
- Mom
- When we sent him on a spiritual retreat
he just wandered around
Ernakulam and returned.
It was Rachel's daughter
who told me that
he got off somewhere before
he reached Ernakulam.
She didn't see him at the retreat at all.
Grandma.
- Yeah.
- Come.
For what?
Come and see our dance.
- I'm coming. You go, dance.
- Come on!
- Come, come on.
- Coming! Go, dance.
- Come.
- Go on.
Go on, I'll watch.
You should do the same on stage.
MUNAMBAM
KOCHI
Where are you?
Aren't you coming?
I won't be late.
I'll be there.
I'll be there when the program starts.
Okay.
Janaranjana has played a significant role
in the artistic
development of Anchuthengu.
Mom, where's Daddy?
Keep walking. He'll come.
Can you give me ten rupees?
Get lost!

Manuel.
I heard you had gone for a retreat.
- Yes, I did.
- Very good.
Did you stop drinking?
Yes, yes. I stopped.
May God bless you.
Thank you.
In the fertile southern soil
A brave heart was born
With steadfast resolve
Ready to stand through it all
Lulled by waves
Into dreams we drift
Singing folk songs we set sail
Our boats soaring high
When foes draw near
You think we'll back down?
Not ten or a hundred
But united, we stand strong!
Strike us, and we'll strike back
Block us, and we'll push through
Mighty men, ready to stand and fight
With bones and teeth clenched tight
Blow the whistle

Flap your wings and fly high!

If you're gonna play like this,
I don't see how you'll win.
How about we call this football tournament
"Daniel Memorial Ever-rolling"?
They'll sponsor the cup.
Stephen and Sons.
No need.
What will we do now?
They won't let us live!
Move away. Don't gather around here.
Step back!
We'll check if the fish was bad.
- Let's ask them.
- They won't let us live.
Move aside! Come on, move!
Move! Come on!
- We worked so hard!
- What happened?
They were selling fish
near the Attingal bus stand.
- Suddenly, some people gathered around.
- Is this from Anchuthengu?
They asked if the fish
was from Anchuthengu.
Then tossed all the fish away,
saying they were killing people.
How dare you bring this fish here?!
Since there was news
about it in the paper,
people didnt bother stopping them.
We paid for all that fish.
My dear! All our fish is gone!
Don't cry, woman. What's it?
Son, they beat everyone up.
Don't cry, you old hag!
If you cry, I'll get angry! Mind you!
Who shoved my mother?
Wait here for ten minutes!
- My dear son
- Move!
Where are you going? Listen to me.
- Start the vehicle.
- What are you gonna do?
Today you'll hit him.
Tomorrow another guy will do the same.
Then you'll go hit him as well.
And how many more like that?
We know your mother won't buy old fish.
Go and ask the people
making money off selling old fish here.
When the health officers
found and buried it,
they claimed it was fish from Anchuthengu.
No one complained
or questioned anyone back then.
- Come!
- Nelson!
Oh, no! I cannot handle this
- Son, don't pick a fight.
- Hey!
This isnt something
that started recently.
You know it, Father.
This isn't something
that happens only here.
We don't need to know
where all it happens!
But don't you dare do it on our beach!
Mind your words!
Don't fight.
Move.
This is a church!
We are not here to fight
but to find a solution to this problem.
- Tell them that!
- Now, say what you want to say.
Father, we risk our lives
every time we go out fishing.
Why would we poison that food?
Hey! Shut it!
Simply blabbering nonsense!
Father, no one needs to tell you
how many families in this parish
make a living by selling our fish.
As if you know the gospel truth!
As if you're running a charity!
Missing a day of fish supply
could cost you lakhs.
- That's your worry!
- Nelson!
They aren't spending money for virtue.
Haven't the lives of many families
on this shore improved because of that?
Let me suggest a solution.
They threw away three people's fish.
Let's compensate that amount
and end this problem, Stephen.
- Is that even a solution, Father?
- What?
I don't care if you're a priest.
- What are you gonna do?
- I will
- Stop it, Nelson.
- Come on.
Stop it.
Move away. Enough!
We're not saying you shouldn't supply
or sell fish caught elsewhere.
But you need to publish in the paper
that the rotten fish caught here
isn't the responsibility
of Anchuthengu Beach
but that of Stephen and Company.
Yes, that's enough.
First, let everybody know the truth.
No one will bring rotten fish
to this beach anymore.
- Find some other place!
- Exactly!
Come on.
Tomorrow's load has already left
Vishakhapatnam, right?
Should I ask them to go back?
Why? Are you afraid?
That scrawny guy
and his gang throw a fit,
and you want to send back the load?
Do you see what happens when
you lower your guard a bit?
They'll walk all over you.
Do you have the contact details
of that health inspector?
I don't but we can get it.
Shabin.
When the load arrives tomorrow,
tell Thoma and the guys
to come from Poonthura.
Manuel, I've told you several times
to leave him alone.
Please, let us live in peace.
He is all my kids and I have.
We're scared of them.
Please, don't cause us any harm.
And you shouldn't go after this either.
Remove the empty boxes.
Unload the remaining catfish.
Didn't I tell you before?
Tell them to leave!
Stop listening to his rambling
and unload the fish!
- Nelson!
- Do whatever you want
- Move!
- But not by stepping over us.
Thoma! Beat these dogs to a pulp!
Who are you trying to scare?
Boys, beat these guys up!
She dares to bring goons
to beat up my boys!
Nelson
Mother, stop!
Oh, my son! Don't hurt him!
Don't hurt my son!
Please, don't hurt him!
Somebody, stop him!
Do something!
Don't just stand there.
Oh, God!
- Tell them not to hit him!
- Please, stop.
Don't hit him!
They're fighting, come quick!
Hey!
Come on!
My dear?
Siddhu?
Siddhu?
Dear
- Vijeesh, go check on him.
- Yes?
Stop staring and hold him.
Take him to the hospital.
- Stephen? Sanjay?
- Go!
What happened?
Don't let that moron go.
Start the car!
You, me, and everyone here
make our living from this sea.
Don't you dare do this here again!
You!
We know what needs to be done for that.
- Move, bro!
- Get that!
Let everyone know the fish
isn't from Anchuthengu Beach.
STEPHEN AND SONS ICE PLANLet's go!
He might flee.
We need to nab him before that.
Sajan.
This should be the last time
they do something like this.
People should be scared to support them.
I'll be going with
Richard's boat crew tonight.
You said you were coming as well, right?
- Hello.
- Bro
Hey, don't come to the hospital now.
The cops were here.
Weve moved Nelson
to his sisters house in Vizhinjam.
Do one thing for now,
stay away for a few days.
He said the police
came looking for me.
When are you guys going?
We'll leave around 6:30 p.m. or 7:00 p.m.
Are you not coming?
If you come, you can stay away
from all this for two weeks.
Plus, we'll get paid as well.
Also, there won't be any threat
from those crazy guys.
Are you out to save the town?
A police case was the last thing
you needed on your plate!
- Who do you think you are?
- Reena
- Some big hooligan?
- Just
Just listen to me!
Quiet, Mom will hear us.
Hands off me!
We don't want you in this house anymore.
We can't take it!
You wander around
doing whatever you want.
They're thugs who wont
hesitate to hit or even kill!
Reena
Do you have any idea what those guys did?
Who the hell are you
to worry about that? A cop?!
Do you care about us at all?
- Let go of it! Leave it!
- Let go of me, Reena!
Let go!
I'm going out for work
and will be back in a few days.
Our daughters birthday is on the 24th.
No matter where you are
you need to come home that day!
I didn't go fishing today.
Look how rough the sea is now.
I'll get by for two months
riding my rickshaw.
At least you have some income.
Sir, shall I bring the bill?
Shall I get your bill?
Get me one more peg.
Sir, it's almost closing time.
Settle the bill first
and I'll bring your extra peg.
Why? You think I won't pay?
Sorry, sir, I can't serve you
until you settle your bill.
What?
- Such a pain!
- I don't want anyone's money!
Got it?
Where did you run off to?
Come on, get on the bus.
You all look wasted!
- Sabu
- Yes?
You started already?
Who is this guy?
He looks like a film star.
What's up, Aloshy?
Is he the guy you were talking about?
He looks really young.
Do you think he can handle it?
He will manage it.
Am I right?
Come.
Okay, have a safe journey.
Well, where's Peter?
I dont see him here.
I tried calling him.
He didn't answer.
I will try calling again.
Okay, leave it.
Has everyone come?
- Shall we go?
- Let's start!
Let's set sail at 12 o'clock.
We should be the first boat
to sail after trawling.
- Right, Aloshy?
- Yes.
Well, where's Jude?
Jude
Jude
They asked if it was a bird.
I said no, it's a parrot.
Then they asked,
"Isnt a parrot also a bird?"
You need to take care of everything.
Hey, Srank
Hey Poonthura! When there's booze,
you dont see anything else!
Let me keep the bag inside and come.
- Okay.
- Please, don't finish it.
- No, we have enough.
- Hey, come, come!
Sunil told me that you are coming.
Keep your bag there and come.
Hey, Bengali, dude! How are you?
- I am good.
- Bro!
- Yes.
- Call everyone here.
Last time our work wasn't satisfactory.
So what? We cant just
stop sailing because of that.
Weve borrowed four lakh rupees
so we need to see some returns.
No matter how tough it gets
think of your family
and push through the hard work.
- Got it?
- Listen
when you get back, make sure
the boat is loaded with fish!
Understood?
- Brother.
- Tell me.
My sister's getting married next month.
Really?
Join us with your family!
If you need money, just let me know.
Haven't you slept yet, dear?
Is it your daughter?
Give that here.
What are you doing, kiddo?
See you later, okay?
That's his daughter. See
Did you see them?
Hey, you! Get up!
Get up, loser!
Dixon is getting married.
He's talking about you.
Michael has kids to take care of.
Sleep well.
And our Aloshy's
sister is getting married.
You all look so happy and full of joy.
Now, with that same energy,
bring back some fish from the sea!
- Definitely.
- Okay?
- For sure, right?
- Of course!
Of course!
There's no doubt!
Are you ready, Manuel?
Shall we leave then?
Alright, call upon
Gods name and get started!
John, take care of everything.
Okay.
- Jude, be careful.
- Yes?
Safe journey.
- Hey, get me that bag.
- Sure.
Those guys are totally wasted.
Carefully take them inside.
- Okay, I'll take your leave.
- Alright.
- See you.
- Okay.
Untie the rope.
Watch out.
Holy Mother of God!
- Hey, did you untie the rope?
- Okay
Hey
Dont get scared so easily, man.
You havent even seen the real sea yet.
Are you on the boat?
Im really worried.
Please, be careful.
What's wrong with you?
I'm at work.
Go to bed.
I'll call after I get back to the shore.
Anas has sent a message.
Based on the complaints
from the locals of Anchuthengu,
the Food Safety Department
conducted an inspection
at a wholesale fish trading company
called Stephen and Sons.
The inspection team found
around 5,000 kilograms of expired fish.
They must be really pissed.
Bet they're plotting to mess with us now.
The companys license
has been temporarily suspended.
Jude
- Hey, Jude
- Who's calling?
That's Peter.
- Hey!
- Hello?
Hey, you saint!
You said youd come
and where did you disappear?
Is Manuel there?
Yeah.
Hello?
- Hello.
- Hello, Jude?
- Hello?
- I can hear you. Tell me.
He came here a couple of times as well.
- Why?
- He has some doubts.
Hello?
Hello? Jude
- Hello.
- Be vigilant.
- Hello?
- Hello?
Hello, can you hear me?
- Hello?
- I didn't say anything!
Hello.
I didn't say anything!
- I went to work, man.
- Yeah, good.
For almost a month.
How long can I just sit around at home?
- Yeah.
- And it helped as well.
Those were some fun days
with all the events happening at the club.
Did you dance? How was it?
Come on! Don't talk about it, bro.
Hey!
Hold on to something or sit here.
Look, dolphins!
Hey, Srank
Hey
What's up, bro?
What's he like?
Who?
You mean Manuel?
He is a good worker.
Really?
Hes a quiet guy,
not a troublemaker.
Why do you ask, bro?
Keep an eye on him.
Rafi
Here you go.
Will you have black tea, brother?
I haven't brushed my teeth yet.
Rinse your mouth with black tea first,
- then brush your teeth.
- Thanks, bro.
This
Is that the toilet?
Yeah.
Stop sneaking, you!
Shut up, you!
Stop messing with me!
Play properly!
Put!
Here.
Life takes a gamble
Chasing gold, rushing ahead
Rushing ahead
The boat sways
Waltzing with the waves
Hearts beat in unison
Hands held high together
Hands together
Who rides the chariot of celebration?
Casting nets all around
Who awaits the perfect moment?
Oh, when we move together in harmony
You and I become one
The words that lock horns
Mend on their own
Didn't he play the same card before?
- Just continue the game.
- Didn't he play the same card?
- I said continue!
- Play it properly.
Take your hands off me!
- Who do you think you are?
- Who the hell are you?
Didn't you cheat?
And now youre acting like a saint?
Ill play however I want!
We stand strong upon the waves
Life takes a gamble
Chasing gold, rushing ahead
Whether its a
washing machine or a toilet,
for us, its all the sea.
The boat sways
Waltzing with the waves
Hearts beat in unison
Hands held high together
I keep making stuff out of
whatever silly things I find.
My younger kid loves it.
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Don't you dare come here again.
Two or three days?
Say it clearly.
No, Srank doesnt know about it.
Alright.
I'll forward you the GPS location.
I have two sons.
The younger one is a ball of mischief!
How can he not be a brat?
After all, this great guy
is his godfather! The Kumbari!
Yeah! Yeah!
Oh fish that swims swiftly
Youll take the bait
Thats it? So easy!
And people act like it's rocket science.
Hey! Hey!
Yearning for the unseen shore
With thousands of dreams in my eyes
As time sees them flutter by
My spirit dances in the wind
Leaping and striking like waves
The brave heart who knows the sea
Casting the net
Into depths where waves are unknown
Will you return with a pearl
Unseen In a shell so rare?
The guy has been holding it in
for days because hes scared.
Usually, people shit
when they're scared.
But hes scared to take a shit?
Hi!
What are you doing?
Taking a dump?
What?!
- What do you want?
- Are you scared to take a dump?
Are you?
What?
Dixon, don't play around.
The boy is already scared.
He doesn't even know how to swim.
So, you can't swim?
I'm scared!
Then learn now.
- Hey!
- Go!
Go!
Oh, no! No!
Move away! Move away!
- Dont let go of the rope! Hold it tight!
- Brother!
Let him learn to swim, man.
Oh, no! Help me!
- Move away!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- Enough, Dixon!
Brother!
Move aside!
Go away!
Get lost!
Come here, you!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Srank, stop the boat!
Rafi, don't be scared.
Hold on to the rope!
Grab this.
- Brother
- It's okay.
We got you.
- Don't worry.
- It's okay.
Don't cry. Sit here.
Rafi! Make way!
What happened to him?
- It's okay.
- He pushed me off!
What the hell did you do?
Hey, you, Michael.
Why are you picking on Manuel?
Whatever the issue is, how
can he kick a co-worker like that?
We all came here to work.
Dixon started it!
Michael, what if something
bad happened to him?
Well, nothing happened, right?
Thered be nothing to say
if something had happened.
It's alright, kiddo.
This is what hes
like when hes drunk.
Watch out. Climb up.
- Stop there!
- Bloody pig!
Don't create a scene, Dixon!
- Dixon, no!
- Calm down.
- Let go of me.
- Just relax!
You wait and watch.
Dixon!
- You wont go back in one piece.
- Stop it.
Stop it, you.
- Listen to me.
- Come on.
Dixon, just keep your head
down and work, for your own good!
Exactly!
If youre going to mess around
with people when youre drunk,
youd better find
another boat next time.
Calm down.
I am saying this to everyone here.
Go inside.
- Go!
- Bloody dog! Don't you dare mess with me!
- Go!
- Go on.
He doesn't seem
like he's here for work.
They are gonna
keep picking on you.
Don't bite the bait.
You'll be asking for trouble.
Let it go.
Looks like it's all set.
What's set?!
The card game.
Did you play a six?
Yes, six. Can't you see?
It's a joker.
- What's this, man?
- Bro!
It'll become viral.
It'll be viral in Bengal!
- Delete it.
- It's a nice video, bro!
- Brother! Brother!
- Dixon, just play.
Sit there and delete it.
- Delete it!
- I did.
- I deleted it.
- Are you trying to screw me over?
My one million video.
Come on, play.
Do you know
where we are going, brother?
I'm scared.
Don't be scared.
- Come on, play!
- I'm playing!
He's scared, it seems.
He's asking if we know
where we are going.
Hey, don't be scared.
These days, we have GPS
to know where were headed.
Back in the day,
Id watch the wind
and the stars to find my way
to the reefs. Do you know?
And the boat ended up
in Sri Lanka following his directions.
I heard the Coast Guard
made him see the stars.
Srank!
Don't worry if the diesel gets over.
Poonthura's stories can power the boat!
Keep making fun.
Its a thing at your age.
It's trolling, not trawling!
Srank.
Looks like a gale is approaching.
Over here!
Hey, Jude. Move.
It's a squall, the Kurinchira!
Hold on.
Srank, it's so windy!
Rafi!
Everyone, get in!
Quick! Stand back!
Grab him!
Hey! Grab him, Pandari!
Hey!
Hold on to him, bro.
Get up and hold on, Micheal!
Come back in.
- Be careful!
- Bro!
Careful.
Grab him! Dixon!
- Sabu!
- Bro, get in!
- Hold on tight!
- Get inside, everyone!
- Keep going.
- Get inside.
Get inside, Aloshy!
Kumbari, get in.
Come on, come on.
Get in!
Srank.
Oh, dear mother!
That's a ship route!
Somebody, climb up and look.
I'll come along, Manuel.
Everyone doesn't need to go.
- Kumbari.
- Yes?
Hook or net?
Let's use the hook.
It's looking good.
Aloshy, will the fish come in?
Stop worrying.
We'll only head back with fish,
even if it means remaining
at sea for two more days.
- Am I right, Kumbari?
- Of course.
Exactly.
Let's begin.
Fire up!
The fish will come in.
Please protect us, O Mother!
My heart is set aflame
The stork is flying here and there.
Like a fish caught on a hook
My heart is set aflame
Like a fish caught on a hook
Under the burning sun
A crimson sky looms
Casting light like a pearl
Leaping over the ocean swells
The boat sways in harmony
Leaping over the ocean swells
Hey! Give me my phone, Pandari.
Hey, Hindi!
Come here.
Leaping over the ocean swells
The boat sways in harmony
My heart is set aflame
Like a fish caught on a hook
My heart is set aflame
Like a fish caught on a hook
Manuel.
Don't scare him.
Let him shit.
Pass me a chili.
You shit, man.
He won't do anything.
Don't worry, just shit.
Don't press it. Keep it there.
It's got a password.
Shall I tell your password?
One, three
Four, two
You crook!
Tell the rest.
Oh, no!
Srank!
Stop the boat!
Stop the boat, Sabu!
- Brother!
- One minute.
- It hurts
- Stay still.
It hurts a lot.
It's nothing!
If you're not careful
while rigging the hook,
something worse could happen.
You should've been careful.
Move!
You could end up dead!
Please don't cut it, bro
Take it out quickly, Manuel.
- It's nothing. Don't stiffen up.
- Enough.
Just listen and do what we say!
Manuel!
Manuel!
Manuel!
Manuel!
Wake up!
Get up now!
Have you come here to nap?
It's a Yellowfin Tuna.
It hasnt been long
since he took the bait.
We need to leave
him like this for a bit
so that he tires out.
Then we can easily
pull him up like this.
The ocean waves beckon us
With open arms
To swim and gather gold and pearls
See.
This is Yellowfin Tuna!
How did you know that?
You can tell.
A good fishermans
eyes are in his fingers.
The colorful fish darts away
Dancing in a playful rhythm
Oh, what a beautiful sight
My heart is set aflame
Like a fish caught on a hook
My heart is set aflame
What are you doing, Poonthura?
Like a fish caught on a hook
Take it off quickly.
Hold this.
I'll take that.
Put them in quickly.
Let me put the hook.
Put the Mackerel into this bucket.
Okay.
Fast, fast.
Dixon!
Bro!
Go down.
My hand?
His hand is injured.
Ask someone else to go down.
Who else?
I can go down, Srank.
Kumbari, I'll go.
- Srank, let me.
- Fine, go on.
Quick, go down.
Hold on, I'll pull.
How can you work wearing all that?
If you don't wear this,
you'll freeze to death.
Why did you have to come down?
You look like a road construction worker.
Quickly drop it.
Tuna is over.
- Sort out the Mahi Mahi.
- Alright, Srank.
- Dixon!
- Okay, coming.
Put it here.
Drop it, man!
- Put it.
- Go on, put it.
- Hey, Dixon!
- Yeah.
- Come!
- Coming.
Did you fall?
Damn, this guy!
Get up now.
Slowly
Come on.
What happened?
Aloshy fell down.
Get up slowly.
I think I injured my head.
Get up! Come.
Somebody, give him a hand.
- Kumbari, what happened?
- Get the medical box.
Sure.
- Is he okay?
- What happened?
- He slipped and fell.
- Sit here.
It's okay.
- What happened?
- He slipped and fell downstairs.
Somebody, get some water!
- Careful.
- Go fast.
Ice will obviously be slippery.
Why do it if you cant handle it?
Here.
Kumbari.
Is it bad?
Do you want to go to the hospital?
Hey! It'll be okay after a while.
Come on.
Come, man!
You carry on.
I'm here, right?
Let him rest.
All of you go back to your work.
Go!
Go on!
Come on, man!
Back to work!
- Come.
- Put everything inside.
Try not to be the next one to fall!
Pandari, make him a ginger coffee.
Quick, quick.
Careful.
I'm freezing, Kumbari.
It's okay.
Go.
Load the fish.
Go, man!
Poonthura, just hold this.
Slowly.
Here.
Tell me if you
need anything else.
- Bro
- Kumbari
- Bro
- Kumbari
- Brother
- Hey
Open your eyes, man!
Hey, Aloshy
Kumbari
Hey
Oh, no!
- Kumbari!
- Pandari, go bring that cloth.
- Hey!
- Go! Hurry!
If he's not brought to shore quickly,
he might not make it.
Make him sit upright.
Kumbari
Hey
Come on, let's go back to the shore.
Take the boat back to shore quickly!
Stop crying, Alex.
Hes going to be okay.
Sabu
Pull up the hooks.
Lets head back quickly.
Alright, finish your work quickly.
We'll see to it after that.
Please, open your eyes.
Let's take him back to shore, Manuel.
All of you, go to work.
Go ahead, load the rest of the fish.
Go.
Dixon, I'll take care. You go.
- Give a hand.
- Sure, sure.
Slowly be careful.
Manuel
Go to work.
Kumbari
- Aloshy, man
- Kumbari
He's not opening his eyes.
Hey, he's alright.
Nothing to worry.
Put them in quickly.
Don't waste time.
Load everything inside.
- Hey
- I am scared, Jude.
When the floor is ice-cold,
it'll be like a rock.
He might have hit
his head really hard.
Since it was so cold,
he may not have
realized how bad it was.
What's the matter?
Are you really going
to do what he said?
What excuse are you
going to give uncle?
Dont you know how he is?
They might ask us to turn the boat back,
but we cant do that
without thinking it through.
What are you gonna say?
Jude, I know how Selvam is.
But the workers
are important as well, right?
Hey!
Go away!
Jude, a life is at stake.
Life, my foot!
Hey!
I have some work to finish.
I'll talk to you after that.
The boat shouldnt turn
back to shore until I tell you.
What work?
Everything is ruined.
Jude isn't wrong.
He wont last half a day now.
He's gone.
Its better to finish the
work before heading back.
He isnt dead yet.
Hes still lying there
listening to all your nonsense.
He spent four lakh rupees
to send us here.
Uncle doesnt just
pluck money from trees!
It's true. It's true.
But you still havent told me
whats the work you need to finish.
Alright.
Let's divide it by three.
Aloshy is in this condition.
That's why I am hesitating.
Anyway, you got lucky today.
The workers are almost convinced
to head back only
after finishing the work.
But its a matter of life.
We need to handle it better.
Let's see.
Jude, please
Turn the boat back to shore.
Hey, we will turn back.
Aloshys life is the most important.
Theres no doubt about that.
But theres a catch.
His condition is really bad right now.
Im being very honest with you, friend.
Dont take it the wrong way.
Im saying this for you and everyone else.
We can turn the boat back now.
But if Aloshy dies within a day
youll need to come back,
finish the work and return.
- Okay?
- Jude!
Watch your words!
- How dare you--
- Stay back and talk, Alex!
I already told you all
he isnt dead yet!
You want to kill him to get the work done?
That's not happening here!
I'll kill him if I have to!
It's a nice threat, but like I said,
not happening here!
You bloody moron!
Who the hell are you?!
Let go of him! Stop it.
Stop, Jude. Move aside.
- Srank, didnt you hear what he said?
- Move aside.
Manuel, move away.
Man, hes the boat owners son-in-law.
Of course, hes going to talk like that.
He just wants to get the
work done, no matter what.
Did we come here to fight like dogs?
Forget what he said,
nothings going to happen to Aloshy.
Dont mess around with his life.
Lets head back quickly. Wait here.
Who doesn't want money here?
After two months,
were finally back to work.
Tell me, who am I speaking for?
Hey, hey, wait.
Let me go and check.
I say lets make enough to cover
our expenses and then head back.
Why can't you understand?
Come, Jude.
I said, come!
Michael, come.
Go, go.
Jude
Are you sure he wont
make it through even a day?
What if he doesn't die within that time?
He will have to die!
Did Aloshy gather enough money
for his sister's wedding expenses?
Did he say anything about it?
If we finished the work,
we could've contributed as well.
Alas!
Hey
Here
Kumbari
- Kumbari
- Hey!
Oh, no!
Hey!
Hey
Oh, no!
Hey!
Oh, Kumbari
Sabu Manuel
Brother
Brother
Hey, come.
Hey, stand up. Take that sack.
Come on.
Brother
Srank, turn the boat back to sea.
No need to turn the boat.
Who the hell are you to
decide that, you rascal?
I'm a worker on this boat.
Manuel
I dont want to create a scene.
It'll be better for both of us.
I clearly said that
if he dies within a day,
everyone has to finish the
work before heading home.
Why didnt you object then?
Had you lost your voice?
Didn't I ask everyone loud and clear?
If we had stayed out another two days,
we wouldnt have made it
back to shore for six days.
Can't you just think like
that and get back to work?
Would you say the same thing
if it were your dad lying there dead?
If all that's left is to cremate the body,
I don't care even if it's my dad!
I'll stay until the work is done.
All that dad-son stuff matters
only when the person is alive.
Once dead,
everyones just a corpse.
Jude is right.
All thats left is to bury his body.
It's not like he's going home to work.
His family will definitely get
ten lakh rupees in compensation.
But what about us?
Lets finish the work and then head back.
You do that when your father dies!
No one will disrespect
a corpse just to keep working here!
Hey!
Stop it, Sabu!
- Let go of me, Srank!
- Sabu!
Hey!
Manuel Don't!
- Stop it, Manuel!
- No, Sabu!
Don't!
I won't spare you!
Brother
Jude!
- Sabu
- Let go of me!
Calm down, Sabu.
- What the hell are you guys doing?
- Enough, Sabu!
Brother!
Hey, no, Jude.
Go inside.
- Come.
- I said go inside.
Kumbari
I'm freezing, Kumbari.
Alex
Come, Srank wants to meet you.
ALISHA WEDS DOMINIC
Bro
No one is trying to hurt you on purpose.
What should we do?
You tell us.
Im not going to talk to Manuel.
It will only end in a fistfight.
You talk to him and make him understand.
Manuel
Aloshy is no more.
What can we do about it?
Its a huge loss for his family, no doubt.
But we also have to think
about the other workers here, right?
You see that young chap?
He came to earn money
for his dads operation.
If he goes back empty-handed,
hell have to beg for help.
And now youre saying we should
return without finishing the work?
Imagine if it were your
own brother who died,
would you leave the body
at home and go to work?
Will you?
Could you put your brother on
ice and simply carry on with work?
Dont you have a conscience?
Manuel
How long have you known Aloshy?
You've only worked
on this boat once before.
Aloshys been with us on
this boat for the last two years.
His family is our family as well.
We can't return
empty-handed with his body.
None of us have a single
penny on us right now.
But if we can finish this job,
we can give them a
share and console them.
Come on, Manuel.
Please, cooperate.
We will do what we can for him.
Trust me.
Manuel
Alex has also agreed.
I want to step in
and conduct his sisters
wedding on his behalf.
I have no other choice, Manuel.
We can't go all the way
back just for you, Manuel.
Kondal, the east wind,
is picking up. Watch out.
I'm good.
Hey!
Did Manuel eat?
Let him do as he pleases.
Hey, issues arise during work.
It's normal.
Ask him to eat.
Aren't you going to eat?
Everybody has eaten. Come.
Everyone has finished their meal.
Theyre pretty mad at you.
So, dont pick a fight with them.
Last time, a punk like you showed
up for work and caused trouble.
His body didn't even
make it back to the shore!
And it was his own friend!
You better think twice before
you act while you're here.
His name was Daniel.
This boat isn't going back to shore
until I find out
what really happened to him.
Go, pass this on to
whoever needs to know!
Brother
Will they cause trouble again?
Let them try.
We'll see when they do.
You're the only one who
listens to his tall tales.
If you wanna know about him,
just go to Anchuthengu
Beach and ask around.
You'll find out who he really is!
You have no clue
why he's on this boat now.
I still remember
It's normal for houses
on our coast to get flooded in August.
Each time a new government comes in,
they make empty promises and deceive us.
People won't tolerate it forever, right?
One day
they caught hold of the MLA
who came for a function at the harbor.
You can imagine what happened next.
Just wear white and do nothing!
Don't even break a sweat!
You'll be back here
begging for votes again.
You can leave after
you give us a solution.
The government is here
to make that decision.
Mind your own business.
Stop trying to show off.
Get lost!
Your reckless harbor construction
caused eight deaths this year.
Bringing the total to 67 people!
And still, you have the courage
to walk along this shore!
Stop ridiculing us like this.
Clear these people out and get to the car!
The MLA's men attacked the locals
who questioned them.
Move!
Who do you think you are?
They came to the wrong
place to create a mess.
That day, Dani stood strong at the front.
Move away!
Sir, even if it has a fishy smell,
notes and votes hold the
same value everywhere.
They're not asking for anything
from your personal properties.
But when people demand
what they're entitled to,
is it right to beat them up, sir?
Even when the sea came in,
we didn't run away.
And you think you can drive us away?
What do you want?
Step back!
Get lost!
So, this was just the preview.
The real show begins
during the elections.
Who told you to meddle?
Like I need to be told!
You know what would have
happened if I hadn't shown up?
Get lost, man!
Who are you, little flower
O gentle lotus?
Is there magic in your berry-like eyes?
Why does shyness linger on your lips?
Your gaze enchants with every glance
But tell me, is your heart of stone?
To the one who gifted me
That sweetest smile
Let me take you to realms unseen
To hear your melodic sweet nothings
He awaits, following your every step
Yearning for your friendship
I've longed and thirsted, oh, dear girl
Who are you, little flower
O gentle lotus?
Is there magic in your berry-like eyes?
Why does shyness linger on your lips?
I heard you guys were
up to some new stuff.
Youd better put a stop to it.
Do you hear me?
This is the last time I'm telling you.
You are your mother's only hope.
Don't ruin it!
Hes been at this for a while.
I wonder if hes really going to church.
We might need to go
to Robert's house soon.
- Oh! So, that's the reason.
- Ive never felt the breeze
- Nor seen the ocean's grace
- Looks like things have been working out.
What's this?
How are you so shameless?
I have never sought
Anyone like you in this world
What is this constant flutter?
What is this shimmering light?
When you smile and speak
My heart overflows with joy
In the moments I paddle the boat
Your spirit leaps like a wave
Memories linger on
As time slips away
Desires have deepened
Its the hour of dreams
By the way, Mom
We might also need to go
to Jerry uncle's house soon.
- For what?
- To Ancy's house.
Who are you, little flower
O gentle lotus?
Is there magic in your berry-like eyes?
Why does shyness linger on your lips?
What did he do?
He grabbed my hand.
Apologize.
I
Say it!
Sorry.
It's okay.
Wait a minute.
- Do you know why he's after you?
- Yes.
Just let me know if he's bothering you.
- I will--
- What's your problem?
He's after me, right?
I don't have a problem with it.
You are my joy
You are my passion
I'll never be alone
With you as my gentle shade
You are the soul destined for me
The partner to all my desires
In madness, my equal, oh, stubborn one!
No greater bliss
Has ever been granted to anyone
Than this ecstasy that lifts me high
My breath quickens
The world shines anew
Its the hour of dreams
Who are you, little flower
O gentle lotus?
Is there magic in your berry-like eyes?
Why does shyness linger on your lips?
My dear son!
That was Daniel.
And this is his brat of a brother.
Consider yourself lucky
that it was a close call.
Hey, Pandari.
Hey, Pandari.
Hey!
Get me a coffee.
What's up, man?
Get me a coffee, man!
Were you there that day?
When?
Hey, hey!
What's up, man?
You've been chitchatting
with him for a while now.
I was telling him
about your history.
And that if he acts too smart,
he'll be thrown into the water.
Hey!
Where's the coffee?
Bringing it right away.
Do you want black coffee?
Sabu is Therippan's brother.
His older brother.
I thought you didn't know.
That's why I told you.
He has only been on
the boat for a short time.
Ive heard he was much worse
than his brother in the past.
Now he's here to straighten him out.
Oh, Mother of God.
Is it gonna rain, brother?
If it rains, it rains.
You pull up the covers and go to sleep.
His body didn't even
make it back to the shore.
And it was his own friend.
We're scared of them.
I'll kill if I have to!
Quickly sort and separate them.
Chop, chop, make it fast!
Then, two people head down quickly.
Why is there no energy?
Hey! Hey, Dixon!
What's up?
Poonthura.
What is it?
Srank, his body is down there.
That's the reason.
What's this, man?
Did I ask you to put the
fish on top of the body?
You put the fish by the side.
Two of you go down.
You don't go. I will.
Be careful.
Hey!
Make one tea.
Listen!
Bring down the rest
after these are sorted.
Separate it.
What is it?
Are you scared?
Hey!
Move away, you!
Stop your games, Therippan!
You come up!
Let them do the rest.
I'm watching you!
Hey!
It looks like waste got jammed.
Hey, two of you jump in and check.
Michael.
Dixon, get in!
Give him the knife, Pandari.
Keep all that to the side.
Quick!
You were right.
He's here for a reason.
Why did you kill Dani?
I know it wasn't just you.
How do you know that?
He said it himself.
How's it my fault he went
into the sea and died?
You won't tell me?
What is it?
Are you scared?
Are they not done cutting it?
I can't see them anywhere.
Put everything in the box. Come on, quick.
Yeah, I'll do that after this is done.
Hey
Where are you guys?
Alex, come here.
They will come.
Did you cut it?
Start the boat.
Hey, Suni. Switch it on.
Start the boat, Srank!
Haul in the net together.
Yes.
Bro
What happened, bro?
Are you feeling tired?
Shut your trap!
What's wrong?
Michael
Come.
Jude
Hey, Poonthura
load these inside.
Jude, come quickly.
Hey, Pandari
Hey
What's the matter?
Ive been watching you for a while.
What's the issue?
Just leave me alone!
What happened here?
Don't you dare go quiet now!
Who did it? Speak up!
Who are you all scared of?
Jude
He's not saying anything.
At least you tell me
what the hell is going on!
Ive had my eyes on you since
you got back from cutting the waste.
You're not yourself!
Is Manuel bothering you?
Tell me.
Yeah.
It's him!
He's asking about Daniel.
Who's that?
He used to work on
this boat before you.
Hes Manuels brother.
He came from the village with his wife
and stayed in a rented place in Munambam.
It was Peter who brought him to our boat.
Later on, he became good friends with us.
We smuggled drugs for a Sri Lankan guy.
Stuff worth four crore rupees.
Come on, quick.
Unload it fast.
Be careful.
Hey!
Just like that,
he threw the goods away.
- Hey!
- Dani!
- Michael
- Dani!
- Dani, no! No!
- You stay out of this, Peter.
He threw away goods worth
twenty lakh rupees into the sea.
Didnt I tell you we shouldnt come here?
Dani, calm down, man.
Hey!
No! No. Jude!
We don't need this.
No, Dani.
Bug off!
At least one of you calm down.
Hey Dani
Can't you hear?!
David, we won't spare him!
Weve got to catch him.
Jude
Hey, stop there.
Here, David is calling.
Hello.
Hello?
He's telling on us!
You're dead meat today!
Hello?
Hey!
Die!
Hey, hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Enough, stop it, man!
Hey, no! Dani!
No, Dani.
Let them do whatever they want.
Why do you care, man?
Hey!
Hey, Dani!
Let go of him, Dani.
Hands off me!
You better stop this business, Jude!
We dont want the money
that comes from killing people.
We don't want that.
This is the scar from his knife.
If it had gone just a bit deeper
We finished him.
We said he was on the boat
with us but went missing at sea.
Now this one is here
to get revenge against us.
He is so dead!
How did he find out about this?
That
Maybe, Peter told him.
Jude
Kill him if you have to,
but make sure Manuel
never sees the shore again.
Just shut up!
What else do you think we should do?
We'll see.
Jude
He must die.
Hey, set up the hooks!
Lower it.
Hey
You go unload the fish!
Let him rest for a while.
Hey
Yeah.
Get the fishing floats ready.
I'll manage this.
Go!
Manuel, nothing happens on
this boat without my knowledge.
Tell me, Manuel.
What's your problem?
You brought a knife with you, right?
If you have something to ask
just say it directly.
So, you won't talk?
Youre only interested in a fight, right?
Guys, come on!
Hey, Dixon! Come!
Srank, stop the boat!
- Brother!
- Bro, climb up!
- Grab him!
- Manuel!
Hold him.
- Help him up!
- Hold him.
Easy.
Let me see.
- Poonthura, take a look.
- Step back.
Pandari, bring medicine for him.
Beware, Michael!
It wont be long before
you get your payback!
Bugger off, you
Hey, hey, hey!
What's happening here?
The hook pierced his back.
Who released this hook?
I did.
What the
- Come here.
- What is this, Michael?
Shouldn't you be more careful?
Come quickly.
Hey, Manuel
Leave the work for now.
Just get some rest.
Pandari
Make a hot coffee for him.
Okay.
- What the hell is this, man?
- What?
I dont think this was an accident.
No can do!
The situation is getting worse here.
Try to understand.
The climate isn't good, it seems.
They will need two
days to reach here.
All we can do is wait.
Here
Enough.
Hey, are you not going to eat?
I had my food.
Please, carry on.
Does it hurt badly?
- What happened to your dad?
- He met with an accident.
My dad was a delivery van driver.
A lorry hit his van in Chavara.
Who told you about him?
I heard people talking.
How's he now?
He can't walk.
He's bedridden.
Apart from Dad,
who else is at your house?
Mom and sister.
My sister is very young.
Just seven years old.
What about you, brother?
I was
I was just making small talk
Diya is the same age.
I mean, the same age as your sister.
She's my Dani's daughter.
If somebody asks her name
she would go
"Diya Maria Daniel."
No matter how many times we ask,
she would parrot the same
"Diya Maria Daniel."
Daddy
She calls me "Daddy" as well.
Shes my daughter.
She only has me to call Daddy.
Shes always in my arms.
She wont go to sleep
without my bedtime story.
Her favorite one is
her father's story.
No matter how
many times I repeat it
she cant get enough of it.
Id put her on my lap
and tell her the story
over and over again.
He was also like that.
He was so fond of me.
A few days after leaving home
I got a call from him.
He cried a lot, saying that
he wanted to see us.
He said he would visit us with his family
and that he would
come for the church festival.
But he never came.
I never went to see him either.
I stayed at home, waiting for him.
Then, one day
Ancy and Diya came over to our house.
Just them
He said he was
going to see his friends
for some work in Munambam one night.
She doesnt know who he met with
or what the work was.
Mummy, is Daddy not coming?
I looked for him everywhere.
It has been a year now.
Hope the hook has some fish.
We're still working,
even with a dead person here.
We need to give
two shares to Aloshy as well.
Just one more day left.
If there's not much work,
it's okay if we go
after two days also.
Amen.
The crow is flying here and there.
The hen is flying here and there.
The mynah is flying
You want Daniel, right?
Go be with him, then!
Just die!
Brother! Brother!
Wake up.
Brother!
- Manuel fell into the water.
- What is it?
Get up!
Brother!
Brother!
Manuel fell into the water.
Brother!
This is where he fell.
Please, jump! I saw him fall here.
- Let me look!
- He fell over there.
Call everyone.
- I saw it. It was right here.
- I'm looking
- Help him. Call them.
- Srank! Srank!
Srank! Wake up, Srank!
Manuel is missing.
Alex! Alex!
Wake up, wake up, Alex!
Manuel is missing.
- He fell! Quickly get up!
- Dixon!
Please, get up, Alex!
Srank!
Srank!
Srank! Srank!
Manuel is missing, it seems.
Manuel is missing!
Come, let's search for him.
Sabu, wake up.
Manuel is missing.
Jump! I saw him fall over here.
- Manuel!
- Jump, brother.
Help him! Someone, please jump!
This is where he fell.
I saw him fall here. Jump!
I saw it!
Over there.
You're right!
I want Daniel!
That's exactly why I am here.
Manuel, stop it!
I'll show you death!
Come on, man!
Call the others too!
- Manuel, no!
- Don't!
Tell them to stop
hiding and come out!
- None of you will leave this boat alive!
- Please, listen to me.
Come on, man!
Manuel!
Go!
Get off me!
Come!
Stop!
Don't create any problems.
Let me go.
Listen to me, Manuel!
- Don't do it.
- Let go!
Manuel!
You guys can beat each other
to death or do whatever you want,
but this isnt the place for it.
Its for our families that Im working,
even with his body on ice.
I need to finish this work quickly
so I can take him home with me.
In between all this, you guys
shouldnt be stirring more trouble!
Leave!
I said, leave!
Brother! Dixon!
Come back up!
Manuel is back!
Hold this.
Careful, brother.
This was planned.
I had a doubt when that hook
pierced his shoulder that day.
Theres something
strange about this.
So, did a ghost throw him
into the water?
- Poonthura!
- Yes!
Alex, from the drag,
it looks like a shark.
Pull it in tighter!
Pull.
Slowly slowly
Hold on! Come on, hold it!
Yank it up!
Grab firmly!
Don't let go!
Pull!
Don't shake! Steady!
Hold steady!
Don't let go!
Don't let go!
Poonthura! Don't shake it!
Pull.
Srank!
It's a shark!
Come on, pull!
Hey! Will you jump in?
Pull it, man!
Hold on!
Up! Pull it up!
Up! Up!
Pull, bro!
Haul it in!
Tell Manuel to jump in.
I'll make sure he
doesn't come back up.
Just make sure
no one else jumps in.
And you better end this!
Your wife and child are all alone.
Enough with your reckless behavior!
Why are you glaring?
What's your problem?
Shut up!
- Get the rope!
- Yeah!
Keep pulling!
Keep pulling, man!
Don't let it go!
Watch out!
Grab him! Pull him up!
Hold his arm.
Grab him, man!
Stop wriggling!
Careful!
- Oh, God!
- What happened?
Hey! Bring the spear.
Poonthura, we need
to lower the dinghy.
It's the only way to
land a great white.
Then, let's lower the dinghy.
You need to strap his tail.
Or he'll be thrashing like this all day.
Sabu.
You go.
Manuel.
You also go, okay?
Hold on.
Careful, look over there.
Lower it! Down, down!
Sabu.
Manuel
You love your brother a lot.
So do I.
I love my brother.
You pray really hard
not to die a hellish death
like he did.
Brother!
Michael, no!
- Wait
- Srank!
Michael, stop there!
- Just stop him!
- Srank!
- Manuel! Come back!
- Quick! Turn around!
Manuel!
Dixon! Drop the ladder!
Quickly!
Grab on!
Give me your hand! Hold on!
- Pull him up!
- Alex, hold on!
- Sabu!
- Give your hand!
- Hand hand!
- Up! Up!
Hold him up!
Careful! Careful!
Make way! Slowly, slowly!
Pandari! Get a cloth
to wrap up the wound.
Don't cry, brother!
Come soon, Pandari!
You are okay! You are okay!
Hey, make way.
It's okay
Careful
It's done.
The bleeding isnt stopping, Michael.
We shouldnt wait if it's still
bleeding after dressing the wound.
Jude, tell him
to turn the boat around.
Something will happen
to my brother.
He can't even move.
Ask him to turn the boat!
Hey, what are you doing?
Quick, wrap up the wound properly.
Let the bleeding stop.
The bleeding won't stop!
Look at his fingers!
We've to take him to the hospital!
Turn the boat around!
Why though?
He won't last half a day.
You don't need to worry.
Your family will
also get ten lakh rupees.
The same law applies
to everyone at sea,
whether its Aloshy or Sabu!
He's losing his life!
Turn the damn boat, Srank!
This son of a bitch will
keep ranting like this.
Jude!
Dont you dare play games now!
You know me well!
We will turn the boat. We will!
Why do I need your
permission to turn the boat?
Move aside.
His lifes worth just as much as
Aloshys, whos lying on ice inside!
Does his life weigh more than that?
Tell me.
Even if its just a fish
we bring it to shore
before it starts to rot.
And yet, a man is kept in ice
here three days after his death.
Didn't you say we'd go back after
working for two more days?
That's what we are gonna do.
I know how to turn the boat back!
Manuel!
You all killed my Daniel, right?
What did he do to you?
Hey!
- Jude No!
- Move!
Hey!
Don't you dare to take a step forward!
Hey!
I'll make you spill the truth!
Why did you kill him?
Tell me!
Yes!
We killed Daniel!
We killed him right here.
And now youre going
to face the same death!
The same law applies to everyone at sea
and we're the ones
who decide that law!
You hear me, scoundrel?
Michael!
Turn the boat!
Enough, Srank!
Alex!
Jude, no! Don't!
Bloody rascal!
Anyone who goes up against
me at sea will be fish food!
Youll end up as a missing
corpse, just like your brother!
Hey, no! No, man!
Come on!
Take your hands off me!
Michael
You came chasing a dead man.
That was your mistake!
Daniel was my blood!
Nasty dogs with no regard
for human life!
Throw them into the sea, son!
Let them die and rot
in the salt water!
This sea administers its own justice.
It observes everything
without cover or deceit.
Let this sea decide your fate!
Live or die!
Please don't
I could easily end you right here.
But you are just a victim.
Turn the boat around!
in progress right now are
badminton, running,
sack race, and carom.
Shortly after this,
various competitions
featuring the talented individuals
of Anchuthengu will begin.
Stop there, Diya!
Stay put, kids!
- Grandma, tell her to stop.
- Stop.
Diya, stop!
Come on, kids! Stay put!
Give it to me.
- Both of you are gonna get it!
- No!
Reena! Do you see this?
Diya!
Where's Manuel?
The kids have their program today.
Here.
He couldn't even be bothered
to take them.
Just give him a call.
He's at the club, Mom.
He must be with his friends.
If you turn a blind eye to all this,
you'll only suffer.
- Can you give us some coconut water?
- There you are!
Yes, yes.
Slowly.
He was in the Gulf,
taking good care of his family here.
Enough, enough. It's over.
Now all he does is drink
alcohol and roam around.
- Mom
- When we sent him on a spiritual retreat
he just wandered around
Ernakulam and returned.
It was Rachel's daughter
who told me that
he got off somewhere before
he reached Ernakulam.
She didn't see him at the retreat at all.
Grandma.
- Yeah.
- Come.
For what?
Come and see our dance.
- I'm coming. You go, dance.
- Come on!
- Come, come on.
- Coming! Go, dance.
- Come.
- Go on.
Go on, I'll watch.
You should do the same on stage.
MUNAMBAM
KOCHI
Where are you?
Aren't you coming?
I won't be late.
I'll be there.
I'll be there when the program starts.
Okay.
Janaranjana has played a significant role
in the artistic
development of Anchuthengu.
Mom, where's Daddy?
Keep walking. He'll come.
Can you give me ten rupees?
Get lost!

Manuel.
I heard you had gone for a retreat.
- Yes, I did.
- Very good.
Did you stop drinking?
Yes, yes. I stopped.
May God bless you.
Thank you.
In the fertile southern soil
A brave heart was born
With steadfast resolve
Ready to stand through it all
Lulled by waves
Into dreams we drift
Singing folk songs we set sail
Our boats soaring high
When foes draw near
You think we'll back down?
Not ten or a hundred
But united, we stand strong!
Strike us, and we'll strike back
Block us, and we'll push through
Mighty men, ready to stand and fight
With bones and teeth clenched tight
Blow the whistle

If you're gonna play like this,
I don't see how you'll win.
How about we call this football tournament
"Daniel Memorial Ever-rolling"?
They'll sponsor the cup.
Stephen and Sons.
No need.
What will we do now?
They won't let us live!
Move away. Don't gather around here.
Step back!
We'll check if the fish was bad.
- Let's ask them.
- They won't let us live.
Move aside! Come on, move!
Move! Come on!
- We worked so hard!
- What happened?
They were selling fish
near the Attingal bus stand.
- Suddenly, some people gathered around.
- Is this from Anchuthengu?
They asked if the fish
was from Anchuthengu.
Then tossed all the fish away,
saying they were killing people.
How dare you bring this fish here?!
Since there was news
about it in the paper,
people didnt bother stopping them.
We paid for all that fish.
My dear! All our fish is gone!
Don't cry, woman. What's it?
Son, they beat everyone up.
Don't cry, you old hag!
If you cry, I'll get angry! Mind you!
Who shoved my mother?
Wait here for ten minutes!
- My dear son
- Move!
Where are you going? Listen to me.
- Start the vehicle.
- What are you gonna do?
Today you'll hit him.
Tomorrow another guy will do the same.
Then you'll go hit him as well.
And how many more like that?
We know your mother won't buy old fish.
Go and ask the people
making money off selling old fish here.
When the health officers
found and buried it,
they claimed it was fish from Anchuthengu.
No one complained
or questioned anyone back then.
- Come!
- Nelson!
Oh, no! I cannot handle this
- Son, don't pick a fight.
- Hey!
This isnt something
that started recently.
You know it, Father.
This isn't something
that happens only here.
We don't need to know
where all it happens!
But don't you dare do it on our beach!
Mind your words!
Don't fight.
Move.
This is a church!
We are not here to fight
but to find a solution to this problem.
- Tell them that!
- Now, say what you want to say.
Father, we risk our lives
every time we go out fishing.
Why would we poison that food?
Hey! Shut it!
Simply blabbering nonsense!
Father, no one needs to tell you
how many families in this parish
make a living by selling our fish.
As if you know the gospel truth!
As if you're running a charity!
Missing a day of fish supply
could cost you lakhs.
- That's your worry!
- Nelson!
They aren't spending money for virtue.
Haven't the lives of many families
on this shore improved because of that?
Let me suggest a solution.
They threw away three people's fish.
Let's compensate that amount
and end this problem, Stephen.
- Is that even a solution, Father?
- What?
I don't care if you're a priest.
- What are you gonna do?
- I will
- Stop it, Nelson.
- Come on.
Stop it.
Move away. Enough!
We're not saying you shouldn't supply
or sell fish caught elsewhere.
But you need to publish in the paper
that the rotten fish caught here
isn't the responsibility
of Anchuthengu Beach
but that of Stephen and Company.
Yes, that's enough.
First, let everybody know the truth.
No one will bring rotten fish
to this beach anymore.
- Find some other place!
- Exactly!
Come on.
Tomorrow's load has already left
Vishakhapatnam, right?
Should I ask them to go back?
Why? Are you afraid?
That scrawny guy
and his gang throw a fit,
and you want to send back the load?
Do you see what happens when
you lower your guard a bit?
They'll walk all over you.
Do you have the contact details
of that health inspector?
I don't but we can get it.
Shabin.
When the load arrives tomorrow,
tell Thoma and the guys
to come from Poonthura.
Manuel, I've told you several times
to leave him alone.
Please, let us live in peace.
He is all my kids and I have.
We're scared of them.
Please, don't cause us any harm.
And you shouldn't go after this either.
Remove the empty boxes.
Unload the remaining catfish.
Didn't I tell you before?
Tell them to leave!
Stop listening to his rambling
and unload the fish!
- Nelson!
- Do whatever you want
- Move!
- But not by stepping over us.
Thoma! Beat these dogs to a pulp!
Who are you trying to scare?
Boys, beat these guys up!
She dares to bring goons
to beat up my boys!
Nelson
Mother, stop!
Oh, my son! Don't hurt him!
Don't hurt my son!
Please, don't hurt him!
Somebody, stop him!
Do something!
Don't just stand there.
Oh, God!
- Tell them not to hit him!
- Please, stop.
Don't hit him!
They're fighting, come quick!
Hey!
Come on!
My dear?
Siddhu?
Siddhu?
Dear
- Vijeesh, go check on him.
- Yes?
Stop staring and hold him.
Take him to the hospital.
- Stephen? Sanjay?
- Go!
What happened?
Don't let that moron go.
Start the car!
You, me, and everyone here
make our living from this sea.
Don't you dare do this here again!
You!
We know what needs to be done for that.
- Move, bro!
- Get that!
Let everyone know the fish
isn't from Anchuthengu Beach.
STEPHEN AND SONS ICE PLANLet's go!
He might flee.
We need to nab him before that.
Sajan.
This should be the last time
they do something like this.
People should be scared to support them.
I'll be going with
Richard's boat crew tonight.
You said you were coming as well, right?
- Hello.
- Bro
Hey, don't come to the hospital now.
The cops were here.
Weve moved Nelson
to his sisters house in Vizhinjam.
Do one thing for now,
stay away for a few days.
He said the police
came looking for me.
When are you guys going?
We'll leave around 6:30 p.m. or 7:00 p.m.
Are you not coming?
If you come, you can stay away
from all this for two weeks.
Plus, we'll get paid as well.
Also, there won't be any threat
from those crazy guys.
Are you out to save the town?
A police case was the last thing
you needed on your plate!
- Who do you think you are?
- Reena
- Some big hooligan?
- Just
Just listen to me!
Quiet, Mom will hear us.
Hands off me!
We don't want you in this house anymore.
We can't take it!
You wander around
doing whatever you want.
They're thugs who wont
hesitate to hit or even kill!
Reena
Do you have any idea what those guys did?
Who the hell are you
to worry about that? A cop?!
Do you care about us at all?
- Let go of it! Leave it!
- Let go of me, Reena!
Let go!
I'm going out for work
and will be back in a few days.
Our daughters birthday is on the 24th.
No matter where you are
you need to come home that day!
I didn't go fishing today.
Look how rough the sea is now.
I'll get by for two months
riding my rickshaw.
At least you have some income.
Sir, shall I bring the bill?
Shall I get your bill?
Get me one more peg.
Sir, it's almost closing time.
Settle the bill first
and I'll bring your extra peg.
Why? You think I won't pay?
Sorry, sir, I can't serve you
until you settle your bill.
What?
- Such a pain!
- I don't want anyone's money!
Got it?
Where did you run off to?
Come on, get on the bus.
You all look wasted!
- Sabu
- Yes?
You started already?
Who is this guy?
He looks like a film star.
What's up, Aloshy?
Is he the guy you were talking about?
He looks really young.
Do you think he can handle it?
He will manage it.
Am I right?
Come.
Okay, have a safe journey.
Well, where's Peter?
I dont see him here.
I tried calling him.
He didn't answer.
I will try calling again.
Okay, leave it.
Has everyone come?
- Shall we go?
- Let's start!
Let's set sail at 12 o'clock.
We should be the first boat
to sail after trawling.
- Right, Aloshy?
- Yes.
Well, where's Jude?
Jude
Jude
They asked if it was a bird.
I said no, it's a parrot.
Then they asked,
"Isnt a parrot also a bird?"
You need to take care of everything.
Hey, Srank
Hey Poonthura! When there's booze,
you dont see anything else!
Let me keep the bag inside and come.
- Okay.
- Please, don't finish it.
- No, we have enough.
- Hey, come, come!
Sunil told me that you are coming.
Keep your bag there and come.
Hey, Bengali, dude! How are you?
- I am good.
- Bro!
- Yes.
- Call everyone here.
Last time our work wasn't satisfactory.
So what? We cant just
stop sailing because of that.
Weve borrowed four lakh rupees
so we need to see some returns.
No matter how tough it gets
think of your family
and push through the hard work.
- Got it?
- Listen
when you get back, make sure
the boat is loaded with fish!
Understood?
- Brother.
- Tell me.
My sister's getting married next month.
Really?
Join us with your family!
If you need money, just let me know.
Haven't you slept yet, dear?
Is it your daughter?
Give that here.
What are you doing, kiddo?
See you later, okay?
That's his daughter. See
Did you see them?
Hey, you! Get up!
Get up, loser!
Dixon is getting married.
He's talking about you.
Michael has kids to take care of.
Sleep well.
And our Aloshy's
sister is getting married.
You all look so happy and full of joy.
Now, with that same energy,
bring back some fish from the sea!
- Definitely.
- Okay?
- For sure, right?
- Of course!
Of course!
There's no doubt!
Are you ready, Manuel?
Shall we leave then?
Alright, call upon
Gods name and get started!
John, take care of everything.
Okay.
- Jude, be careful.
- Yes?
Safe journey.
- Hey, get me that bag.
- Sure.
Those guys are totally wasted.
Carefully take them inside.
- Okay, I'll take your leave.
- Alright.
- See you.
- Okay.
Untie the rope.
Watch out.
Holy Mother of God!
- Hey, did you untie the rope?
- Okay
Hey
Dont get scared so easily, man.
You havent even seen the real sea yet.
Are you on the boat?
Im really worried.
Please, be careful.
What's wrong with you?
I'm at work.
Go to bed.
I'll call after I get back to the shore.
Anas has sent a message.
Based on the complaints
from the locals of Anchuthengu,
the Food Safety Department
conducted an inspection
at a wholesale fish trading company
called Stephen and Sons.
The inspection team found
around 5,000 kilograms of expired fish.
They must be really pissed.
Bet they're plotting to mess with us now.
The companys license
has been temporarily suspended.
Jude
- Hey, Jude
- Who's calling?
That's Peter.
- Hey!
- Hello?
Hey, you saint!
You said youd come
and where did you disappear?
Is Manuel there?
Yeah.
Hello?
- Hello.
- Hello, Jude?
- Hello?
- I can hear you. Tell me.
He came here a couple of times as well.
- Why?
- He has some doubts.
Hello?
Hello? Jude
- Hello.
- Be vigilant.
- Hello?
- Hello?
Hello, can you hear me?
- Hello?
- I didn't say anything!
Hello.
I didn't say anything!
- I went to work, man.
- Yeah, good.
For almost a month.
How long can I just sit around at home?
- Yeah.
- And it helped as well.
Those were some fun days
with all the events happening at the club.
Did you dance? How was it?
Come on! Don't talk about it, bro.
Hey!
Hold on to something or sit here.
Look, dolphins!
Hey, Srank
Hey
What's up, bro?
What's he like?
Who?
You mean Manuel?
He is a good worker.
Really?
Hes a quiet guy,
not a troublemaker.
Why do you ask, bro?
Keep an eye on him.
Rafi
Here you go.
Will you have black tea, brother?
I haven't brushed my teeth yet.
Rinse your mouth with black tea first,
- then brush your teeth.
- Thanks, bro.
This
Is that the toilet?
Yeah.
Stop sneaking, you!
Shut up, you!
Stop messing with me!
Play properly!
Put!
Here.
Life takes a gamble
Chasing gold, rushing ahead
Rushing ahead
The boat sways
Waltzing with the waves
Hearts beat in unison
Hands held high together
Hands together
Who rides the chariot of celebration?
Casting nets all around
Who awaits the perfect moment?
Oh, when we move together in harmony
You and I become one
The words that lock horns
Mend on their own
Didn't he play the same card before?
- Just continue the game.
- Didn't he play the same card?
- I said continue!
- Play it properly.
Take your hands off me!
- Who do you think you are?
- Who the hell are you?
Didn't you cheat?
And now youre acting like a saint?
Ill play however I want!
We stand strong upon the waves
Life takes a gamble
Chasing gold, rushing ahead
Whether its a
washing machine or a toilet,
for us, its all the sea.
The boat sways
Waltzing with the waves
Hearts beat in unison
Hands held high together
I keep making stuff out of
whatever silly things I find.
My younger kid loves it.
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Don't you dare come here again.
Two or three days?
Say it clearly.
No, Srank doesnt know about it.
Alright.
I'll forward you the GPS location.
I have two sons.
The younger one is a ball of mischief!
How can he not be a brat?
After all, this great guy
is his godfather! The Kumbari!
Yeah! Yeah!
Oh fish that swims swiftly
Youll take the bait
Thats it? So easy!
And people act like it's rocket science.
Hey! Hey!
Yearning for the unseen shore
With thousands of dreams in my eyes
As time sees them flutter by
My spirit dances in the wind
Leaping and striking like waves
The brave heart who knows the sea
Casting the net
Into depths where waves are unknown
Will you return with a pearl
Unseen In a shell so rare?
The guy has been holding it in
for days because hes scared.
Usually, people shit
when they're scared.
But hes scared to take a shit?
Hi!
What are you doing?
Taking a dump?
What?!
- What do you want?
- Are you scared to take a dump?
Are you?
What?
Dixon, don't play around.
The boy is already scared.
He doesn't even know how to swim.
So, you can't swim?
I'm scared!
Then learn now.
- Hey!
- Go!
Go!
Oh, no! No!
Move away! Move away!
- Dont let go of the rope! Hold it tight!
- Brother!
Let him learn to swim, man.
Oh, no! Help me!
- Move away!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- Enough, Dixon!
Brother!
Move aside!
Go away!
Get lost!
Come here, you!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Srank, stop the boat!
Rafi, don't be scared.
Hold on to the rope!
Grab this.
- Brother
- It's okay.
We got you.
- Don't worry.
- It's okay.
Don't cry. Sit here.
Rafi! Make way!
What happened to him?
- It's okay.
- He pushed me off!
What the hell did you do?
Hey, you, Michael.
Why are you picking on Manuel?
Whatever the issue is, how
can he kick a co-worker like that?
We all came here to work.
Dixon started it!
Michael, what if something
bad happened to him?
Well, nothing happened, right?
Thered be nothing to say
if something had happened.
It's alright, kiddo.
This is what hes
like when hes drunk.
Watch out. Climb up.
- Stop there!
- Bloody pig!
Don't create a scene, Dixon!
- Dixon, no!
- Calm down.
- Let go of me.
- Just relax!
You wait and watch.
Dixon!
- You wont go back in one piece.
- Stop it.
Stop it, you.
- Listen to me.
- Come on.
Dixon, just keep your head
down and work, for your own good!
Exactly!
If youre going to mess around
with people when youre drunk,
youd better find
another boat next time.
Calm down.
I am saying this to everyone here.
Go inside.
- Go!
- Bloody dog! Don't you dare mess with me!
- Go!
- Go on.
He doesn't seem
like he's here for work.
They are gonna
keep picking on you.
Don't bite the bait.
You'll be asking for trouble.
Let it go.
Looks like it's all set.
What's set?!
The card game.
Did you play a six?
Yes, six. Can't you see?
It's a joker.
- What's this, man?
- Bro!
It'll become viral.
It'll be viral in Bengal!
- Delete it.
- It's a nice video, bro!
- Brother! Brother!
- Dixon, just play.
Sit there and delete it.
- Delete it!
- I did.
- I deleted it.
- Are you trying to screw me over?
My one million video.
Come on, play.
Do you know
where we are going, brother?
I'm scared.
Don't be scared.
- Come on, play!
- I'm playing!
He's scared, it seems.
He's asking if we know
where we are going.
Hey, don't be scared.
These days, we have GPS
to know where were headed.
Back in the day,
Id watch the wind
and the stars to find my way
to the reefs. Do you know?
And the boat ended up
in Sri Lanka following his directions.
I heard the Coast Guard
made him see the stars.
Srank!
Don't worry if the diesel gets over.
Poonthura's stories can power the boat!
Keep making fun.
Its a thing at your age.
It's trolling, not trawling!
Srank.
Looks like a gale is approaching.
Over here!
Hey, Jude. Move.
It's a squall, the Kurinchira!
Hold on.
Srank, it's so windy!
Rafi!
Everyone, get in!
Quick! Stand back!
Grab him!
Hey! Grab him, Pandari!
Hey!
Hold on to him, bro.
Get up and hold on, Micheal!
Come back in.
- Be careful!
- Bro!
Careful.
Grab him! Dixon!
- Sabu!
- Bro, get in!
- Hold on tight!
- Get inside, everyone!
- Keep going.
- Get inside.
Get inside, Aloshy!
Kumbari, get in.
Come on, come on.
Get in!
Srank.
Oh, dear mother!
That's a ship route!
Somebody, climb up and look.
I'll come along, Manuel.
Everyone doesn't need to go.
- Kumbari.
- Yes?
Hook or net?
Let's use the hook.
It's looking good.
Aloshy, will the fish come in?
Stop worrying.
We'll only head back with fish,
even if it means remaining
at sea for two more days.
- Am I right, Kumbari?
- Of course.
Exactly.
Let's begin.
Fire up!
The fish will come in.
Please protect us, O Mother!
My heart is set aflame
The stork is flying here and there.
Like a fish caught on a hook
My heart is set aflame
Like a fish caught on a hook
Under the burning sun
A crimson sky looms
Casting light like a pearl
Leaping over the ocean swells
The boat sways in harmony
Leaping over the ocean swells
Hey! Give me my phone, Pandari.
Hey, Hindi!
Come here.
Leaping over the ocean swells
The boat sways in harmony
My heart is set aflame
Like a fish caught on a hook
My heart is set aflame
Like a fish caught on a hook
Manuel.
Don't scare him.
Let him shit.
Pass me a chili.
You shit, man.
He won't do anything.
Don't worry, just shit.
Don't press it. Keep it there.
It's got a password.
Shall I tell your password?
One, three
Four, two
You crook!
Tell the rest.
Oh, no!
Srank!
Stop the boat!
Stop the boat, Sabu!
- Brother!
- One minute.
- It hurts
- Stay still.
It hurts a lot.
It's nothing!
If you're not careful
while rigging the hook,
something worse could happen.
You should've been careful.
Move!
You could end up dead!
Please don't cut it, bro
Take it out quickly, Manuel.
- It's nothing. Don't stiffen up.
- Enough.
Just listen and do what we say!
Manuel!
Manuel!
Manuel!
Manuel!
Wake up!
Get up now!
Have you come here to nap?
It's a Yellowfin Tuna.
It hasnt been long
since he took the bait.
We need to leave
him like this for a bit
so that he tires out.
Then we can easily
pull him up like this.
The ocean waves beckon us
With open arms
To swim and gather gold and pearls
See.
This is Yellowfin Tuna!
How did you know that?
You can tell.
A good fishermans
eyes are in his fingers.
The colorful fish darts away
Dancing in a playful rhythm
Oh, what a beautiful sight
My heart is set aflame
Like a fish caught on a hook
My heart is set aflame
What are you doing, Poonthura?
Like a fish caught on a hook
Take it off quickly.
Hold this.
I'll take that.
Put them in quickly.
Let me put the hook.
Put the Mackerel into this bucket.
Okay.
Fast, fast.
Dixon!
Bro!
Go down.
My hand?
His hand is injured.
Ask someone else to go down.
Who else?
I can go down, Srank.
Kumbari, I'll go.
- Srank, let me.
- Fine, go on.
Quick, go down.
Hold on, I'll pull.
How can you work wearing all that?
If you don't wear this,
you'll freeze to death.
Why did you have to come down?
You look like a road construction worker.
Quickly drop it.
Tuna is over.
- Sort out the Mahi Mahi.
- Alright, Srank.
- Dixon!
- Okay, coming.
Put it here.
Drop it, man!
- Put it.
- Go on, put it.
- Hey, Dixon!
- Yeah.
- Come!
- Coming.
Did you fall?
Damn, this guy!
Get up now.
Slowly
Come on.
What happened?
Aloshy fell down.
Get up slowly.
I think I injured my head.
Get up! Come.
Somebody, give him a hand.
- Kumbari, what happened?
- Get the medical box.
Sure.
- Is he okay?
- What happened?
- He slipped and fell.
- Sit here.
It's okay.
- What happened?
- He slipped and fell downstairs.
Somebody, get some water!
- Careful.
- Go fast.
Ice will obviously be slippery.
Why do it if you cant handle it?
Here.
Kumbari.
Is it bad?
Do you want to go to the hospital?
Hey! It'll be okay after a while.
Come on.
Come, man!
You carry on.
I'm here, right?
Let him rest.
All of you go back to your work.
Go!
Go on!
Come on, man!
Back to work!
- Come.
- Put everything inside.
Try not to be the next one to fall!
Pandari, make him a ginger coffee.
Quick, quick.
Careful.
I'm freezing, Kumbari.
It's okay.
Go.
Load the fish.
Go, man!
Poonthura, just hold this.
Slowly.
Here.
Tell me if you
need anything else.
- Bro
- Kumbari
- Bro
- Kumbari
- Brother
- Hey
Open your eyes, man!
Hey, Aloshy
Kumbari
Hey
Oh, no!
- Kumbari!
- Pandari, go bring that cloth.
- Hey!
- Go! Hurry!
If he's not brought to shore quickly,
he might not make it.
Make him sit upright.
Kumbari
Hey
Come on, let's go back to the shore.
Take the boat back to shore quickly!
Stop crying, Alex.
Hes going to be okay.
Sabu
Pull up the hooks.
Lets head back quickly.
Alright, finish your work quickly.
We'll see to it after that.
Please, open your eyes.
Let's take him back to shore, Manuel.
All of you, go to work.
Go ahead, load the rest of the fish.
Go.
Dixon, I'll take care. You go.
- Give a hand.
- Sure, sure.
Slowly be careful.
Manuel
Go to work.
Kumbari
- Aloshy, man
- Kumbari
He's not opening his eyes.
Hey, he's alright.
Nothing to worry.
Put them in quickly.
Don't waste time.
Load everything inside.
- Hey
- I am scared, Jude.
When the floor is ice-cold,
it'll be like a rock.
He might have hit
his head really hard.
Since it was so cold,
he may not have
realized how bad it was.
What's the matter?
Are you really going
to do what he said?
What excuse are you
going to give uncle?
Dont you know how he is?
They might ask us to turn the boat back,
but we cant do that
without thinking it through.
What are you gonna say?
Jude, I know how Selvam is.
But the workers
are important as well, right?
Hey!
Go away!
Jude, a life is at stake.
Life, my foot!
Hey!
I have some work to finish.
I'll talk to you after that.
The boat shouldnt turn
back to shore until I tell you.
What work?
Everything is ruined.
Jude isn't wrong.
He wont last half a day now.
He's gone.
Its better to finish the
work before heading back.
He isnt dead yet.
Hes still lying there
listening to all your nonsense.
He spent four lakh rupees
to send us here.
Uncle doesnt just
pluck money from trees!
It's true. It's true.
But you still havent told me
whats the work you need to finish.
Alright.
Let's divide it by three.
Aloshy is in this condition.
That's why I am hesitating.
Anyway, you got lucky today.
The workers are almost convinced
to head back only
after finishing the work.
But its a matter of life.
We need to handle it better.
Let's see.
Jude, please
Turn the boat back to shore.
Hey, we will turn back.
Aloshys life is the most important.
Theres no doubt about that.
But theres a catch.
His condition is really bad right now.
Im being very honest with you, friend.
Dont take it the wrong way.
Im saying this for you and everyone else.
We can turn the boat back now.
But if Aloshy dies within a day
youll need to come back,
finish the work and return.
- Okay?
- Jude!
Watch your words!
- How dare you--
- Stay back and talk, Alex!
I already told you all
he isnt dead yet!
You want to kill him to get the work done?
That's not happening here!
I'll kill him if I have to!
It's a nice threat, but like I said,
not happening here!
You bloody moron!
Who the hell are you?!
Let go of him! Stop it.
Stop, Jude. Move aside.
- Srank, didnt you hear what he said?
- Move aside.
Manuel, move away.
Man, hes the boat owners son-in-law.
Of course, hes going to talk like that.
He just wants to get the
work done, no matter what.
Did we come here to fight like dogs?
Forget what he said,
nothings going to happen to Aloshy.
Dont mess around with his life.
Lets head back quickly. Wait here.
Who doesn't want money here?
After two months,
were finally back to work.
Tell me, who am I speaking for?
Hey, hey, wait.
Let me go and check.
I say lets make enough to cover
our expenses and then head back.
Why can't you understand?
Come, Jude.
I said, come!
Michael, come.
Go, go.
Jude
Are you sure he wont
make it through even a day?
What if he doesn't die within that time?
He will have to die!
Did Aloshy gather enough money
for his sister's wedding expenses?
Did he say anything about it?
If we finished the work,
we could've contributed as well.
Alas!
Hey
Here
Kumbari
- Kumbari
- Hey!
Oh, no!
Hey!
Hey
Oh, no!
Hey!
Oh, Kumbari
Sabu Manuel
Brother
Brother
Hey, come.
Hey, stand up. Take that sack.
Come on.
Brother
Srank, turn the boat back to sea.
No need to turn the boat.
Who the hell are you to
decide that, you rascal?
I'm a worker on this boat.
Manuel
I dont want to create a scene.
It'll be better for both of us.
I clearly said that
if he dies within a day,
everyone has to finish the
work before heading home.
Why didnt you object then?
Had you lost your voice?
Didn't I ask everyone loud and clear?
If we had stayed out another two days,
we wouldnt have made it
back to shore for six days.
Can't you just think like
that and get back to work?
Would you say the same thing
if it were your dad lying there dead?
If all that's left is to cremate the body,
I don't care even if it's my dad!
I'll stay until the work is done.
All that dad-son stuff matters
only when the person is alive.
Once dead,
everyones just a corpse.
Jude is right.
All thats left is to bury his body.
It's not like he's going home to work.
His family will definitely get
ten lakh rupees in compensation.
But what about us?
Lets finish the work and then head back.
You do that when your father dies!
No one will disrespect
a corpse just to keep working here!
Hey!
Stop it, Sabu!
- Let go of me, Srank!
- Sabu!
Hey!
Manuel Don't!
- Stop it, Manuel!
- No, Sabu!
Don't!
I won't spare you!
Brother
Jude!
- Sabu
- Let go of me!
Calm down, Sabu.
- What the hell are you guys doing?
- Enough, Sabu!
Brother!
Hey, no, Jude.
Go inside.
- Come.
- I said go inside.
Kumbari
I'm freezing, Kumbari.
Alex
Come, Srank wants to meet you.
ALISHA WEDS DOMINIC
Bro
No one is trying to hurt you on purpose.
What should we do?
You tell us.
Im not going to talk to Manuel.
It will only end in a fistfight.
You talk to him and make him understand.
Manuel
Aloshy is no more.
What can we do about it?
Its a huge loss for his family, no doubt.
But we also have to think
about the other workers here, right?
You see that young chap?
He came to earn money
for his dads operation.
If he goes back empty-handed,
hell have to beg for help.
And now youre saying we should
return without finishing the work?
Imagine if it were your
own brother who died,
would you leave the body
at home and go to work?
Will you?
Could you put your brother on
ice and simply carry on with work?
Dont you have a conscience?
Manuel
How long have you known Aloshy?
You've only worked
on this boat once before.
Aloshys been with us on
this boat for the last two years.
His family is our family as well.
We can't return
empty-handed with his body.
None of us have a single
penny on us right now.
But if we can finish this job,
we can give them a
share and console them.
Come on, Manuel.
Please, cooperate.
We will do what we can for him.
Trust me.
Manuel
Alex has also agreed.
I want to step in
and conduct his sisters
wedding on his behalf.
I have no other choice, Manuel.
We can't go all the way
back just for you, Manuel.
Kondal, the east wind,
is picking up. Watch out.
I'm good.
Hey!
Did Manuel eat?
Let him do as he pleases.
Hey, issues arise during work.
It's normal.
Ask him to eat.
Aren't you going to eat?
Everybody has eaten. Come.
Everyone has finished their meal.
Theyre pretty mad at you.
So, dont pick a fight with them.
Last time, a punk like you showed
up for work and caused trouble.
His body didn't even
make it back to the shore!
And it was his own friend!
You better think twice before
you act while you're here.
His name was Daniel.
This boat isn't going back to shore
until I find out
what really happened to him.
Go, pass this on to
whoever needs to know!
Brother
Will they cause trouble again?
Let them try.
We'll see when they do.
You're the only one who
listens to his tall tales.
If you wanna know about him,
just go to Anchuthengu
Beach and ask around.
You'll find out who he really is!
You have no clue
why he's on this boat now.
I still remember
It's normal for houses
on our coast to get flooded in August.
Each time a new government comes in,
they make empty promises and deceive us.
People won't tolerate it forever, right?
One day
they caught hold of the MLA
who came for a function at the harbor.
You can imagine what happened next.
Just wear white and do nothing!
Don't even break a sweat!
You'll be back here
begging for votes again.
You can leave after
you give us a solution.
The government is here
to make that decision.
Mind your own business.
Stop trying to show off.
Get lost!
Your reckless harbor construction
caused eight deaths this year.
Bringing the total to 67 people!
And still, you have the courage
to walk along this shore!
Stop ridiculing us like this.
Clear these people out and get to the car!
The MLA's men attacked the locals
who questioned them.
Move!
Who do you think you are?
They came to the wrong
place to create a mess.
That day, Dani stood strong at the front.
Move away!
Sir, even if it has a fishy smell,
notes and votes hold the
same value everywhere.
They're not asking for anything
from your personal properties.
But when people demand
what they're entitled to,
is it right to beat them up, sir?
Even when the sea came in,
we didn't run away.
And you think you can drive us away?
What do you want?
Step back!
Get lost!
So, this was just the preview.
The real show begins
during the elections.
Who told you to meddle?
Like I need to be told!
You know what would have
happened if I hadn't shown up?
Get lost, man!
Who are you, little flower
O gentle lotus?
Is there magic in your berry-like eyes?
Why does shyness linger on your lips?
Your gaze enchants with every glance
But tell me, is your heart of stone?
To the one who gifted me
That sweetest smile
Let me take you to realms unseen
To hear your melodic sweet nothings
He awaits, following your every step
Yearning for your friendship
I've longed and thirsted, oh, dear girl
Who are you, little flower
O gentle lotus?
Is there magic in your berry-like eyes?
Why does shyness linger on your lips?
I heard you guys were
up to some new stuff.
Youd better put a stop to it.
Do you hear me?
This is the last time I'm telling you.
You are your mother's only hope.
Don't ruin it!
Hes been at this for a while.
I wonder if hes really going to church.
We might need to go
to Robert's house soon.
- Oh! So, that's the reason.
- Ive never felt the breeze
- Nor seen the ocean's grace
- Looks like things have been working out.
What's this?
How are you so shameless?
I have never sought
Anyone like you in this world
What is this constant flutter?
What is this shimmering light?
When you smile and speak
My heart overflows with joy
In the moments I paddle the boat
Your spirit leaps like a wave
Memories linger on
As time slips away
Desires have deepened
Its the hour of dreams
By the way, Mom
We might also need to go
to Jerry uncle's house soon.
- For what?
- To Ancy's house.
Who are you, little flower
O gentle lotus?
Is there magic in your berry-like eyes?
Why does shyness linger on your lips?
What did he do?
He grabbed my hand.
Apologize.
I
Say it!
Sorry.
It's okay.
Wait a minute.
- Do you know why he's after you?
- Yes.
Just let me know if he's bothering you.
- I will--
- What's your problem?
He's after me, right?
I don't have a problem with it.
You are my joy
You are my passion
I'll never be alone
With you as my gentle shade
You are the soul destined for me
The partner to all my desires
In madness, my equal, oh, stubborn one!
No greater bliss
Has ever been granted to anyone
Than this ecstasy that lifts me high
My breath quickens
The world shines anew
Its the hour of dreams
Who are you, little flower
O gentle lotus?
Is there magic in your berry-like eyes?
Why does shyness linger on your lips?
My dear son!
That was Daniel.
And this is his brat of a brother.
Consider yourself lucky
that it was a close call.
Hey, Pandari.
Hey, Pandari.
Hey!
Get me a coffee.
What's up, man?
Get me a coffee, man!
Were you there that day?
When?
Hey, hey!
What's up, man?
You've been chitchatting
with him for a while now.
I was telling him
about your history.
And that if he acts too smart,
he'll be thrown into the water.
Hey!
Where's the coffee?
Bringing it right away.
Do you want black coffee?
Sabu is Therippan's brother.
His older brother.
I thought you didn't know.
That's why I told you.
He has only been on
the boat for a short time.
Ive heard he was much worse
than his brother in the past.
Now he's here to straighten him out.
Oh, Mother of God.
Is it gonna rain, brother?
If it rains, it rains.
You pull up the covers and go to sleep.
His body didn't even
make it back to the shore.
And it was his own friend.
We're scared of them.
I'll kill if I have to!
Quickly sort and separate them.
Chop, chop, make it fast!
Then, two people head down quickly.
Why is there no energy?
Hey! Hey, Dixon!
What's up?
Poonthura.
What is it?
Srank, his body is down there.
That's the reason.
What's this, man?
Did I ask you to put the
fish on top of the body?
You put the fish by the side.
Two of you go down.
You don't go. I will.
Be careful.
Hey!
Make one tea.
Listen!
Bring down the rest
after these are sorted.
Separate it.
What is it?
Are you scared?
Hey!
Move away, you!
Stop your games, Therippan!
You come up!
Let them do the rest.
I'm watching you!
Hey!
It looks like waste got jammed.
Hey, two of you jump in and check.
Michael.
Dixon, get in!
Give him the knife, Pandari.
Keep all that to the side.
Quick!
You were right.
He's here for a reason.
Why did you kill Dani?
I know it wasn't just you.
How do you know that?
He said it himself.
How's it my fault he went
into the sea and died?
You won't tell me?
What is it?
Are you scared?
Are they not done cutting it?
I can't see them anywhere.
Put everything in the box. Come on, quick.
Yeah, I'll do that after this is done.
Hey
Where are you guys?
Alex, come here.
They will come.
Did you cut it?
Start the boat.
Hey, Suni. Switch it on.
Start the boat, Srank!
Haul in the net together.
Yes.
Bro
What happened, bro?
Are you feeling tired?
Shut your trap!
What's wrong?
Michael
Come.
Jude
Hey, Poonthura
load these inside.
Jude, come quickly.
Hey, Pandari
Hey
What's the matter?
Ive been watching you for a while.
What's the issue?
Just leave me alone!
What happened here?
Don't you dare go quiet now!
Who did it? Speak up!
Who are you all scared of?
Jude
He's not saying anything.
At least you tell me
what the hell is going on!
Ive had my eyes on you since
you got back from cutting the waste.
You're not yourself!
Is Manuel bothering you?
Tell me.
Yeah.
It's him!
He's asking about Daniel.
Who's that?
He used to work on
this boat before you.
Hes Manuels brother.
He came from the village with his wife
and stayed in a rented place in Munambam.
It was Peter who brought him to our boat.
Later on, he became good friends with us.
We smuggled drugs for a Sri Lankan guy.
Stuff worth four crore rupees.
Come on, quick.
Unload it fast.
Be careful.
Hey!
Just like that,
he threw the goods away.
- Hey!
- Dani!
- Michael
- Dani!
- Dani, no! No!
- You stay out of this, Peter.
He threw away goods worth
twenty lakh rupees into the sea.
Didnt I tell you we shouldnt come here?
Dani, calm down, man.
Hey!
No! No. Jude!
We don't need this.
No, Dani.
Bug off!
At least one of you calm down.
Hey Dani
Can't you hear?!
David, we won't spare him!
Weve got to catch him.
Jude
Hey, stop there.
Here, David is calling.
Hello.
Hello?
He's telling on us!
You're dead meat today!
Hello?
Hey!
Die!
Hey, hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Enough, stop it, man!
Hey, no! Dani!
No, Dani.
Let them do whatever they want.
Why do you care, man?
Hey!
Hey, Dani!
Let go of him, Dani.
Hands off me!
You better stop this business, Jude!
We dont want the money
that comes from killing people.
We don't want that.
This is the scar from his knife.
If it had gone just a bit deeper
We finished him.
We said he was on the boat
with us but went missing at sea.
Now this one is here
to get revenge against us.
He is so dead!
How did he find out about this?
That
Maybe, Peter told him.
Jude
Kill him if you have to,
but make sure Manuel
never sees the shore again.
Just shut up!
What else do you think we should do?
We'll see.
Jude
He must die.
Hey, set up the hooks!
Lower it.
Hey
You go unload the fish!
Let him rest for a while.
Hey
Yeah.
Get the fishing floats ready.
I'll manage this.
Go!
Manuel, nothing happens on
this boat without my knowledge.
Tell me, Manuel.
What's your problem?
You brought a knife with you, right?
If you have something to ask
just say it directly.
So, you won't talk?
Youre only interested in a fight, right?
Guys, come on!
Hey, Dixon! Come!
Srank, stop the boat!
- Brother!
- Bro, climb up!
- Grab him!
- Manuel!
Hold him.
- Help him up!
- Hold him.
Easy.
Let me see.
- Poonthura, take a look.
- Step back.
Pandari, bring medicine for him.
Beware, Michael!
It wont be long before
you get your payback!
Bugger off, you
Hey, hey, hey!
What's happening here?
The hook pierced his back.
Who released this hook?
I did.
What the
- Come here.
- What is this, Michael?
Shouldn't you be more careful?
Come quickly.
Hey, Manuel
Leave the work for now.
Just get some rest.
Pandari
Make a hot coffee for him.
Okay.
- What the hell is this, man?
- What?
I dont think this was an accident.
No can do!
The situation is getting worse here.
Try to understand.
The climate isn't good, it seems.
They will need two
days to reach here.
All we can do is wait.
Here
Enough.
Hey, are you not going to eat?
I had my food.
Please, carry on.
Does it hurt badly?
- What happened to your dad?
- He met with an accident.
My dad was a delivery van driver.
A lorry hit his van in Chavara.
Who told you about him?
I heard people talking.
How's he now?
He can't walk.
He's bedridden.
Apart from Dad,
who else is at your house?
Mom and sister.
My sister is very young.
Just seven years old.
What about you, brother?
I was
I was just making small talk
Diya is the same age.
I mean, the same age as your sister.
She's my Dani's daughter.
If somebody asks her name
she would go
"Diya Maria Daniel."
No matter how many times we ask,
she would parrot the same
"Diya Maria Daniel."
Daddy
She calls me "Daddy" as well.
Shes my daughter.
She only has me to call Daddy.
Shes always in my arms.
She wont go to sleep
without my bedtime story.
Her favorite one is
her father's story.
No matter how
many times I repeat it
she cant get enough of it.
Id put her on my lap
and tell her the story
over and over again.
He was also like that.
He was so fond of me.
A few days after leaving home
I got a call from him.
He cried a lot, saying that
he wanted to see us.
He said he would visit us with his family
and that he would
come for the church festival.
But he never came.
I never went to see him either.
I stayed at home, waiting for him.
Then, one day
Ancy and Diya came over to our house.
Just them
He said he was
going to see his friends
for some work in Munambam one night.
She doesnt know who he met with
or what the work was.
Mummy, is Daddy not coming?
I looked for him everywhere.
It has been a year now.
Hope the hook has some fish.
We're still working,
even with a dead person here.
We need to give
two shares to Aloshy as well.
Just one more day left.
If there's not much work,
it's okay if we go
after two days also.
Amen.
The crow is flying here and there.
The hen is flying here and there.
The mynah is flying
You want Daniel, right?
Go be with him, then!
Just die!
Brother! Brother!
Wake up.
Brother!
- Manuel fell into the water.
- What is it?
Get up!
Brother!
Brother!
Manuel fell into the water.
Brother!
This is where he fell.
Please, jump! I saw him fall here.
- Let me look!
- He fell over there.
Call everyone.
- I saw it. It was right here.
- I'm looking
- Help him. Call them.
- Srank! Srank!
Srank! Wake up, Srank!
Manuel is missing.
Alex! Alex!
Wake up, wake up, Alex!
Manuel is missing.
- He fell! Quickly get up!
- Dixon!
Please, get up, Alex!
Srank!
Srank!
Srank! Srank!
Manuel is missing, it seems.
Manuel is missing!
Come, let's search for him.
Sabu, wake up.
Manuel is missing.
Jump! I saw him fall over here.
- Manuel!
- Jump, brother.
Help him! Someone, please jump!
This is where he fell.
I saw him fall here. Jump!
I saw it!
Over there.
You're right!
I want Daniel!
That's exactly why I am here.
Manuel, stop it!
I'll show you death!
Come on, man!
Call the others too!
- Manuel, no!
- Don't!
Tell them to stop
hiding and come out!
- None of you will leave this boat alive!
- Please, listen to me.
Come on, man!
Manuel!
Go!
Get off me!
Come!
Stop!
Don't create any problems.
Let me go.
Listen to me, Manuel!
- Don't do it.
- Let go!
Manuel!
You guys can beat each other
to death or do whatever you want,
but this isnt the place for it.
Its for our families that Im working,
even with his body on ice.
I need to finish this work quickly
so I can take him home with me.
In between all this, you guys
shouldnt be stirring more trouble!
Leave!
I said, leave!
Brother! Dixon!
Come back up!
Manuel is back!
Hold this.
Careful, brother.
This was planned.
I had a doubt when that hook
pierced his shoulder that day.
Theres something
strange about this.
So, did a ghost throw him
into the water?
- Poonthura!
- Yes!
Alex, from the drag,
it looks like a shark.
Pull it in tighter!
Pull.
Slowly slowly
Hold on! Come on, hold it!
Yank it up!
Grab firmly!
Don't let go!
Pull!
Don't shake! Steady!
Hold steady!
Don't let go!
Don't let go!
Poonthura! Don't shake it!
Pull.
Srank!
It's a shark!
Come on, pull!
Hey! Will you jump in?
Pull it, man!
Hold on!
Up! Pull it up!
Up! Up!
Pull, bro!
Haul it in!
Tell Manuel to jump in.
I'll make sure he
doesn't come back up.
Just make sure
no one else jumps in.
And you better end this!
Your wife and child are all alone.
Enough with your reckless behavior!
Why are you glaring?
What's your problem?
Shut up!
- Get the rope!
- Yeah!
Keep pulling!
Keep pulling, man!
Don't let it go!
Watch out!
Grab him! Pull him up!
Hold his arm.
Grab him, man!
Stop wriggling!
Careful!
- Oh, God!
- What happened?
Hey! Bring the spear.
Poonthura, we need
to lower the dinghy.
It's the only way to
land a great white.
Then, let's lower the dinghy.
You need to strap his tail.
Or he'll be thrashing like this all day.
Sabu.
You go.
Manuel.
You also go, okay?
Hold on.
Careful, look over there.
Lower it! Down, down!
Sabu.
Manuel
You love your brother a lot.
So do I.
I love my brother.
You pray really hard
not to die a hellish death
like he did.
Brother!
Michael, no!
- Wait
- Srank!
Michael, stop there!
- Just stop him!
- Srank!
- Manuel! Come back!
- Quick! Turn around!
Manuel!
Dixon! Drop the ladder!
Quickly!
Grab on!
Give me your hand! Hold on!
- Pull him up!
- Alex, hold on!
- Sabu!
- Give your hand!
- Hand hand!
- Up! Up!
Hold him up!
Careful! Careful!
Make way! Slowly, slowly!
Pandari! Get a cloth
to wrap up the wound.
Don't cry, brother!
Come soon, Pandari!
You are okay! You are okay!
Hey, make way.
It's okay
Careful
It's done.
The bleeding isnt stopping, Michael.
We shouldnt wait if it's still
bleeding after dressing the wound.
Jude, tell him
to turn the boat around.
Something will happen
to my brother.
He can't even move.
Ask him to turn the boat!
Hey, what are you doing?
Quick, wrap up the wound properly.
Let the bleeding stop.
The bleeding won't stop!
Look at his fingers!
We've to take him to the hospital!
Turn the boat around!
Why though?
He won't last half a day.
You don't need to worry.
Your family will
also get ten lakh rupees.
The same law applies
to everyone at sea,
whether its Aloshy or Sabu!
He's losing his life!
Turn the damn boat, Srank!
This son of a bitch will
keep ranting like this.
Jude!
Dont you dare play games now!
You know me well!
We will turn the boat. We will!
Why do I need your
permission to turn the boat?
Move aside.
His lifes worth just as much as
Aloshys, whos lying on ice inside!
Does his life weigh more than that?
Tell me.
Even if its just a fish
we bring it to shore
before it starts to rot.
And yet, a man is kept in ice
here three days after his death.
Didn't you say we'd go back after
working for two more days?
That's what we are gonna do.
I know how to turn the boat back!
Manuel!
You all killed my Daniel, right?
What did he do to you?
Hey!
- Jude No!
- Move!
Hey!
Don't you dare to take a step forward!
Hey!
I'll make you spill the truth!
Why did you kill him?
Tell me!
Yes!
We killed Daniel!
We killed him right here.
And now youre going
to face the same death!
The same law applies to everyone at sea
and we're the ones
who decide that law!
You hear me, scoundrel?
Michael!
Turn the boat!
Enough, Srank!
Alex!
Jude, no! Don't!
Bloody rascal!
Anyone who goes up against
me at sea will be fish food!
Youll end up as a missing
corpse, just like your brother!
Hey, no! No, man!
Come on!
Take your hands off me!
Michael
You came chasing a dead man.
That was your mistake!
Daniel was my blood!
Nasty dogs with no regard
for human life!
Throw them into the sea, son!
Let them die and rot
in the salt water!
This sea administers its own justice.
It observes everything
without cover or deceit.
Let this sea decide your fate!
Live or die!
Please don't
I could easily end you right here.
But you are just a victim.
Turn the boat around!
