There are some mishaps seen

in the funeraI obsequies

performed for your younger brother

In the southern orchard where

the cremation took pIace, a crow has banged

Its head on the branch of

a dried up tree and cried aIoud

Veera...

Pay the priest what he deserves

Hey, haut boy!

2 iII deaths have taken pIace

I intend to remind you that

the spirits of those whose funeraI rites

...have not been performed,

wiII be wandering around

Is there none here to Iight

the Iamp at the twiIight hour?

Where has everyone gone off to?

ShaII I Iight the Iamp?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who is it, I ask!

Who is it over there?

PIease don't harm me

Ruku's spirit that is capabIe of utter

destruction has got embodied

and it has to be feared

What is the soIution to this?

A rituaI to untie it!

It has to be driven away

An armor of a very strong recitation is

of utter necessity to drive away Ruku's spirit

No ordinary priest can tie up her spirit

To my knowIedge, there is onIy

1 person who is capabIe of doing this

MadapiIIy Bhattathiri!

Greetings to you...

PIease, come in

You expected not to be traced

if you hide in water inside the weII!

- Come out!

- I wiII not!

You wiII come out!

I wiII bring you out...

I know how to get you here!

You, MadapiIIy Bhattathiri,

Iet me see how smart you are

You wish to chaIIenge me

But, you have no right to...

God has appointed me to ground you

and I am fuIfiIIing my task

This sorcerous pot is your ceII forever

I, order you to enter into it

Years Iater...a viIIage in Karnataka

Mukundan Unni and his friends are

Just Iook at the cuItivation!

Sir, they are reaI cunning ones

So, their crops wiII be the best too

They have taken the Iand on rent

and got it cuItivated

They had rented our Iand

and cuItivated it too

But, there is not even grass growing

That is because of their smartness

They cannot be trusted one bit

You trust them, don't you?

Yes sir, I do trust them!

Mukundan Unni, himseIf has stamped

on this white paper

Go ahead and boIdIy cut it down

I am there with you, isn't it!

That is aII we need

It is definiteIy more than the rent

that they have to pay us

He wiII take care...in case of

any further probIems

Yes, I wiII handIe it

Cut it aII down!

Nice, ripe sugarcanes

You wiII definiteIy make

some good profits in this

Not just a good profit

An extremeIy good profit shouId be made

Laborers again!

We have enough aIready

With whose permission

are you cutting these?

Gopure...

What do they mean to say?

With whose permission

are you cutting the sugarcanes?

We have asked yourfathers

for the permission

Show them the paper

that Mukundan Unni has signed on

What are they saying?

- Why make a fuss?

- Get Iost

How dare you touch

the sugarcane in MaIIIaiah's fieId?

What is he saying?

Sir, ask him to get me down...

Is that why he has been

barking for so Iong!

Get him down!

They have understood what you've

spoken about their fathers

This Iand does not

beIong to Mukundan Unni

He has cheated us

Run for your Iife!

Big brother!

Mukundan Unni, I wiII not spare you

Let us do that Iater

We need to escape

from here right now

Or eIse, they wiII not spare us

Yes, we shouId not bow

our heads in front of anyone

You are right!

Run away!

Cold winds off cool rivers, come along with me

Sing a song to awaken the Koel deep in sleep

The soft missed has faded,

come out little woman

Let's step out of the mist to go to fields

We can adorn our hairwith jasmine flowers

Oh my girl, the sky yonder east

Reddened like vermilion vial splashed its dye

On the hill tops of Ambarathi, ahoy!

There's a light shining that's amazing

Oh lovely earth, one touch and it yields

My dear girl reap its rich harvests and come

Waiting in the fields to clap in rhythm

My girl, with the beating of drums, she sings

Celebration of festival of dreams

let's all get together

Come laughing and in joy,

don't tempt me my girl

Oh my girl, the sky yonder east

Reddened like vermilion vial splashed its dye

Thumping hooves of cattle in rhythm

Bronze bells in accompanying tinkle

Under shady tress of country side

sounds of breeze whispering sweet nothings

Our town gets ready with beating hearts

Resounding sounds of drums,

my curly haired girl

Howdah, on elephant,

umbrella swaying joyously

Town full of decorated umbrellas

unfolding in welcome

Celebration of festival of dreams

let's all get together

Come laughing and in joy,

don't tempt me my girl

Oh my girl, the sky yonder east

Reddened like vermilion vial splashed its dye

Oh look my girl,

the buds and flowers blossoming

Look how beautiful they are

in the valley and fields

Heaps of flowers plucked

into baskets and bowls

Adorning the festival-car

along the temple paths

Singing streams of rivulets crafted for you

Silver beaded ornament to adorn the waist

The summer sun too turns beautiful

Wearing her veil of woven gold

A beautiful veil of woven gold

To adorn the body of mist with red vermilion

l shall give you my girl with beautiful eyes

Stars yearned to tinkle

like bells of your anklets

Oh pretty girl with pretty flowers in hair

Celebration of festival of dreams

let's all get together

Come laughing and in joy,

don't tempt me my girl

Oh my girl, the sky yonder east

Reddened like vermilion vial splashed its dye

On the hill tops of Ambarathi, ahoy!

There's a light shining that's amazing
