Ambu..

Hey, Ambu.

Ambu!

Oh, I am tired of this fellow.

Don't you have anything

else to do?

There is no point in calling him.

He's our son after all,

isn't he?

He won't wake up

until he feels like getting up.

By then, lunch will be ready.

Right.

You are the one who pampered

and spoiled him.

It's a Sunday.

Let him sleep.

'Smoking is injurious to health.'

Idiot.

Get up!

Do you know what time it is?

Come on, man.

He is such a lazy guy.

We will go there later.

Why in the morning?

Enough for now.

Go..

Does it have enough sugar?

Won't you ride the bike?

You may go on a bus

When I was your age, I used to go

to college on a bus..

Do you know that?

Those days..

It's okay if you don't

But I don't want to listen

Red salute.

- Oh, whatever. - Correct.

Buy a kilo of chicken

You look busy.

You dad shouldn't know about it.

A grandma like you

Hurry up.

Freshers will come today.

We must get there on time.

Get some petrol in a bottle.

Pandi, you rascal.

Chakrapani, I heard that Vinod

has come back from Saudi Arabia.

Yes, he's back. - I heard that

Yes, he isn't.

It's a mess back there.

It facilitates employment

only for their citizens.

Oh, I see.

As soon as it was introduced,

he abandoned everything.

He is planning to start

a new business here.

Whatever it is, his return is going

to affect Chakrapani.

How will it affect me?

His house, of which you were

the caretaker..

You used to rent it for birthday

and bachelor parties.

It was your golden goose.

Remember?

Now it's all gone.

Hey, cut it out.

Don't laugh.

Koya, tell me.

If Mr. Vinod starts a business

who will be his go-to man?

It would be you.

Did you hear him?

The wanderer is here.

Shut up.

Muthappan will thrash you.
