Okay... speak.
Father Jimmy,
This church is very dear to me. I got married here...
And my forefathers are buried here.
We'll find space to bury you too, not to worry.
That's not what I meant.
It was my dream to get all my daughters married off
in this very church.
Then?
That's when my eldest daughter told me she had found someone.
In short, you gobbled up the feast
and came off happily.
Listen up, Joicy.
Our customs cannot be changed.
How long were you in America?
Even those chaps are not as liberal as you are!
Father... I learnt my lesson after Jeena's marriage,
but by then.
My younger daughter Sofie...
was learning another lesson?
Please sit.
I give my daughter away to you.
C'mon Dad,
Don't hesitate! Just say it.
But Father,
Do you know how much value my family gave me
after I agreed to these weddings?
Rs. 499/- Cash on delivery.
Eh?
Not your value, I'm checking out a cassock.
My dear fellow,
We Knanayas do not intermarry.
Even with other Christian denominations.
Don't you know the consequences of doing so?
Of course!
I learnt it after Jeena's,
And my family learnt it after Sophi's.
Then, who else has to learn?
Young men, father!
Our society needs revolutionary people like Comrade Joicy.
Let's start the function.
Red Salute to Comrade Joicy!
Red Salute to Comrade Renadive.
Red Salute to Comrade Annie.
Red Salute to Comrade Reetha.
This is DYSI's membership card;
Our party's youth wing.
But I'm not young...
But your ideals are very youthful.
So it's fine.
Why aren't you smiling?
Smile comrade,
The Left has arrived, It will be all Right!
**Smile**
Comrade Joicy,
The first two: I can forgive.
But, how can I approve of this?
Giving away your daughter to an atheist
at a Party office wedding!
You Kocharas are affluent, we know.
Rich enough to sponsor the 'Kochaara Boat race'
held annually by our church.
So you think you can get away with anything!
That's absolutely not done.
Our church commitee has decided to rename
the 'Kochaara Paulo memorial Boat Race'
Next year onwards,
It will be called 'Vatican Trophy'
Our Parish has decided.
Father, don't say that!
My family has never won this trophy though it's in our name
I want to bring it home once.
And I've been trying for this ever since I got back from the US!
Anyhow, the church is offended by your doings.
And we'll make sure everyone knows of it.
Joicy, get this into your head.
Love is not greater than faith.
As a penance for your wrongs,
you have to collect the offertory this Palm Sunday.
Don't say anything! This is the atonement.
In the name of Jesus...
Amen!
In the name of the father, son and holy spirit
I'll never ever forget this humiliation.
I'll hit back for sure.
Don't overreact, its just a penance.
Joicy, what's this mess amidst the mass?
Stop wagging!
Hold this.
Friends, lend me your ears!
Crumbled altar bread for my wife,
Thrice the penance for me!
What dreadful sin have we committed to deserve this?
The penance is done now.
So what's your problem?
Cant be sure, Father. After all he has another daughter too.
Who knows what he has in mind?
About her wedding!
I see. If you get her married outside the community too,
Your punishment will be very harsh.
How can anything be harsher than what you already did?
Renaming the boat race conducted by our family for years.
How much worse can it get!
Oh really, Joicy.
Have you guys managed to win.
Even once in the history of this boat race?
Never!
When a loyal church member like Simon participates.
We will obviously support him
and his 'Kumarakam City boat club'
Ain't I right, Sabu? Of course!
We're sure to win this time.
I book this trophy in advance:
The trophy in the name of Kochaara family.
Then hear this, Pathiyara Simon
I'll conduct my daughter Mary's wedding in this church.
Before this year's boat race
I'm taking up that challenge!
Ha! Let's see the wedding first.
Then we'll decide on renaming the boat race.
Let Jesus be with you.
Oh He will, for sure!
You have my word on this, Father!
Nice song, isn't it?
Hello, - What's up?
Nothing mom - Had food?
Yes mom, ofcourse.
Just a minute.
Make it fast, you.
Five minutes.
My turn.
Hey sweetheart - Hello Dad!
- How are you? - All good, pops.
Are you going to Delhi or coming home straight
after your research project?
Not decided yet, dad.
Most probably coming home direct.
If flights are full, I'll take the train.
Are you really in the hostel now?
Ha ha fat chance!
Weekends are for partying.
When have I ever stayed in?
But don't tell mom ok? Nope, I won't.
Listen,
Research and all is fine
but make sure you're home for Easter.
All your sisters will be here.
Sure thing!
Right after submitting my paper at NIFT.
This time, I'm gonna find a good Knanaya groom for you.
And get you married right away.
Oh really? Why not send him here then?
So I can marry him right away.
Mr.Joicy,
I heard about your blockbuster act in church today.
Isn't this something we agreed a long time back?
That your choice is my choice?
Yeah... Hold on, hold on.
What now, dad?
Thank God. At least one's safe.
Argh... I can't hold it much longer!
I'll see.
Who's inside? Open the door!
Everybody in Punjab knows me. (mimics actor Vijay)
You're the first one to ask this.
'Happy Bhaiyya' - Nonsense!
Hey, don't go - Get lost.
Our 'Happy'!
He didn't get the Stag Entry.
So, he gate crashed through the loo.
Get out fast, man. Mary leaves next week.
Speak your mind to her before she leaves.
"Like an overflowing Patiala Peg "
"My heart is filled with love for you "
"I come to you striking a Jat attitude "
"Please accept my love "
"I'm sleepless without you "
"I wish to see you 24*7 "
"My unspoken love's running wild "
"Oh for cryin' out loud "
"I'm in love with you girl "
"The whole world knows it "
"But why don't you understand? "
"Oh for cryin' out loud "
"I'm in love with you girl "
"The whole world knows it "
"But why don't you understand? "
"Like an overflowing Patiala Peg "
"My heart is filled with the love for you "
"I come to you striking a Jat attitude "
"Please accept my love "
"When you come to me, like a Sikh girl "
"My heart blossoms "
"When you avoid me, "
"I'm shattered in pieces "
"I wait for you; Dawn to dusk "
"I think of you with every breath "
"But you break my heart "
"Oh for cryin' out loud "
"I'm in love with you girl "
"The whole world knows it "
"But why don't you understand? "
"Oh for cryin' out loud "
"I'm in love with you girl "

"But why don't you understand? "
"Please don't crush my dreams like a tractor "
"Don't hit like a tsunami "
"And sink my hopes "
"I roam around after you "
"My sandals have worn out "
"And so has my heart "
"I've turned into ashes "
"Like an overflowing Patiala Peg "
"My heart is filled with the love for you "

"The whole world knows it "
"But why don't you understand? "
Aren't you going in?
Punjab has lots of gorgeous girls.
But no one has put my heart on fire like you.
We haven't known each other for long, Yet...
Shucks!
Dr. Happy Singh,
Will I have to settle for this horse as a daughter-in-law?
Can't you just propose to the girl?
Who's she, by the way?
Don't tease me, mom.
I'll propose to her one day.
And then I'll introduce her to you. That'll do.
He was aiming at me, so I escaped. Thank God I'll live another day.
What happened, Sharaf?
Get up.
Something in that letter drove him wild.
Yes dad.
What's this?
Dad, I can explain..
See,
It's a project he loves and can do very well.
Why should he give it up just because it's in Kerala?
Haven't you seen it in the news?
The stray dog menace.
I have. How about you boys?
Yes, of course.
See, even they know.
Let him go, please.
How many times have I said...
Veterinary doctor, indeed!
Dealing with animals. Why not deal with real men?
Your dad can do military ads huh...
Gosh! Awesome pic.
All of Patiala should know
the power of Major Inderpal Singh's party
Jesus!
Thundering typhoons!
How many times have I told you Not to keep this gun loaded?
And how many times have I told you Not to speak Malayalam here?
Still everyone yaks in Malayalam!
Mind it.
What's going on with him?
He hates Kerala.
But loves Mohanlal.
Looks like he hasn't forgotten anything.
Forget? What should he forget?
Getting bashed up by her brothers?
And being cursed by everyone around?
All for his Elsie...
His dearest Elsie.
That's enough.
What sort of Sardar are you?
Can't even face up to your dad.
Too bad.
Of course I want to visit Kerala and meet your folks, mom.
But, I know that dad will not agree.
Certain decisions define our lives.
And for those, we should take a stand. No matter what.
Yeah! I tell him that always.
Oh I see! You already knew it?
That was a mimicry earlier, huh?
So you think you're actor Jayaram!
Hey! Jayaram is cool, dude!
If you're done proposing to animals, go face her, man!
What if some ass proposes to her before you?
Happy Singh will be a Sorry Singh then.
Listen up, my boy.
If you love someone,
you should work it at the earliest.
Then she'll stand by you, Even if you're a loser.
See your parents, for instance!
- What? - Get it?
Enough! Get down, you.
Hey, join me.
To see Joginder chacha? No way!
Ever since dad formed a rival party,
he hates all of us.
Oh! Then there's gonna be a problem.
What?
I'll be marrying his daughter.
So then I'll have to stick with my father-in-law, right?
Of course. And we'll be sticking your obit posters.
Listen, you need to design the poster for my clinic's opening.
Don't get yourself killed before then.
Don't scare me. Get lost!
Sis, look! Such a big gun.
Take a look won't you.
Fools!
What's happening here?
Pammi, these are not toys to play with.
A girl's place is in the kitchen. Leave!
You stay. Come here.
Wanna learn to use this?
Hold it.
Look through this and..
Oh shoot not again!
Hey, my little bro-in-law.
Lemme see.
Awesome!
They're my nephews.
Akalmeeth and Bimalprem.
They're getting out from jail.
They were in for an honour killing.
Eh? I thought they were dead politicians.
One minute.
This is my daughter, Pammi.
Yeah! I know.
And this is me.
- My own FIL. - What?
Wonder-ful, I mean.
And this is my future son-in-law,
Rishiraj Singh.
What?!
In the invitation,
I should be between them like this...
Showering blessings on the couple.
- Got it? - Yeah.
I'm the first man ever
to design his lover's wedding card.
Dude, chill.
Look...
Rishiraj is out, you're in.
Problem solved, right?
It's simple.
See, she's calling again!
What shall I do? We will figure out a way..
I can't bear this. Let's get some swords...
and face those Punjabis.
Okay, Suppose you do go to get her,
First you'll scale the wall.
Then you'll work your way in
Reach her room, and then...
First shot to your head,
And you're dead.
We can put up your obituary
on your wall. RIP.
Such negativity.
You're heartless!
Don't you know that...
Happy Bhaiyya loves you?
I don't have time to waste On a relationship.
Now place this horse here.
Fix it. 'Happy's Veterinary clinic'.
Know what?
Is this how you speak to a friend?!
Terrible.
Poor Happy Bhaiyya.
Poor me. Please stop, I'll ring Sharaf.
Eh? Why's Mary calling?
I'm Mary.
Why don't you speak to Pammi?
She's bawling. Says she can't live without you.
Come and solve it. I need to leave.
I'm… I'm Happy.
You're happy? After hearing all this?
How mean!
All men are sadists.
Oh no that's not it...
I'm Happy Singh.
Please connect Sharaf.
He's a bit drunk.
What's the point of spineless friends like you?
If he had malayali friends instead,
They would've carried her off by now.
Hey Sharaf,
Get those guns, man.
Mr. Happy Singh,
What happened?
Sipped some booze and lost it?
Who're you?
I'm the genie that popped out,
Out of that bottle of local booze.
A slightly cracked version of yourself.
What you mean?
There's a daring Mallu Christian inside you.
Bring him out!
You'll never solve all this by yourself.
So,
From on, follow my lead.
Sharaf, get up.
You can edit yourself, you know.
Sharaf, Hey Sharaf,
First shot to my head.
And I'm dead!
They might have dogs.
Better hold on to this.
Oh God!
Let's dump him here.
Please don't kill me.
Please! Let go of me. Hey Pammi don't yell!
Oh no. The dart gun!
Hi Mary,
I've carried her off like you said. What now?
You kidnapped her?
God! When did I ask you to do that?
Happy, don't act smart.
Well hello! You're the one who said a Mallu guy would've done this.
Too late now.
Get out of the hostel. I'll come there.
I'm here, you dumbo.
Here? Where?
Right here, at Pammi's.
Happy, send her back right now.
I can't.
Come pick her yourself.
If you get caught, can always say
you girls came out to pee.
Hey! What the heck?
Run.
Make it fast.
What do we do now?
First we need to think wisely...
Hello Dad, there's a problem.
OK, Happy journey.
Call me after you reach Kerala. Aren't you coming?
No way. Dad will kill me if I come to Kerala.
OK then stay back and get killed by Pammi's family.
How am I supposed to get there with these unconscious folks?
That's easy! Just sit tight.
And the train will get you there.
Hello dad,
We're safe for now.
What?
Is this any time to talk about marriage?
Lemme get back home first.
I'll marry whoever you want.
We've boarded the train, dad.
Happy, where're you?
Where are you going with Pammi?
Your CCTV video has gone viral.
What have you done, idiot?
Think of your dad's political future.
If you don't bring back Pammi, Joginder will kill you.
Dude, Joginder thinks that
you eloped with Pammi.
What if your dad comes to know about it?
Its better we leave for Kerala.
Shut up. You're responsible for this situation.
Let me tell you something.
If you don't get into this train,
you'll never ever get a chance to propose to her.
If you do get on the train
you can travel together
and woo her too.
Haven't you seen any romcoms?
Nope.
No wonder you're a zero in matters of the heart.
Get in, dude.
Get in right now!
C'mon!
Hey, come!
Come fast.
Didn't you say you weren't coming?
Stop this nonsense and go inside!
Pammi has gone away with
my enemy Inderpal's son, Happy.
What a disgrace to our family.
Go and find them right now.
Pammi!
Why are you here?
Why am I here?
Why are we here?
What? We're eloping, right? Great!
But... why are we both here?
What?
I mean, it's good you guys eloped.
But why are we both here too?
Someone please help! I can't do it alone.
Isn't there someone to help him offload the thing?
Oh my God!
What on earth?
What happened to you?
Your son has run away... with Joginder's daughter.
Jesus!
Are you saying the truth?
Damn Mary,
Couldn't even take my camera.
My luggage too.
We're not going on a school trip.
We're running away, for God's sake!
Couldn't even take my certificates.
If we had waited to take all that,
They would've taken our heads too.
You know,
Happy is a good mimic.
Oh! And So?
Dude, and so?
Pammi, persuade him Bro, show an item.
C'mon.
Happy bhaiyya, please?
It'll lighten the mood.
How about a Tamil star? Definitely.
Malini, I must tell you this. (mimics actor Surya)
You're gorgeous.
You're the most beautiful girl I've ever met.
Oh! I love actor Ajith.
Shucks!
Oh! That was Surya?
No, you dumbo.
It was your dad Mattancherry Shukoor. My dad? Not bad!
"Does the sound of my silence "
"Speak to you, my beloved "
C'mon.
"Hey hello, just a moment "
"Are you the one for me? "
"If you're a musical note "
"Can I be your song? "
"Hey my love "
"Will you go the distance? "
"Hey hey my love "
"Until the end of time "
Why did you get down here?
Can't abandon you, right?
'Canacona'.
What a station, what a situation?
No more trains from here today.
Next train is tomorrow, from Madgaon.
What do we do now?
Dad, Pammi and Sharaf will reach tomorrow
I'm in Goa.
I'll explain once am back.
I'm safe, don't worry.
A friend of mine is with me.
OK dad.
Wow... what is this place?
There were no hotels around...
This villa was available since a get-together is happening here.
And so they gave us room.
I'm hungry. Must be something in the fridge...
'Newly weds', huh?
We needed permission to stay, so...
"Does the sound of my silence Speak to you my love "
"The stars above, the sands below Wait with bated breath "
"Every beat of my heart Seeks your answer "
"Won't you speak your heart, My beloved? "
"Our silence turned to music "
"Like rain on barren earth "
Aren't we very close? "Like a bud that awakens For the first time "
Isn't that the whole point of this dance?
Why didn't you join the army then?
It's not my cup of tea.
Can't deal with so much discipline!
What do you want from life, then?
Well, my happiness is in being able to help out animals.
And I want a life partner...
who will share that happiness.
These are my dreams.
What is yours?
Then why didn't you go for it?
I mean... in all matters.
Certain things define our lives.
At least for those, we need to take a strong stand.
That's what my mom...,
No, ...I feel.
"Hey hello, wait a moment "
"You are the one for me "
Mary, I need to tell you something I need a life partner.
For better, for worse,
In sickness and in health.
Until death do us apart.
Papa, I want to see my sister.
Dillu, she's dead to us now.
Control yourself.
Trust me.
They will pay for what they’ve done
It's time for us to retaliate.
Does that rascal Inderpal think
...that Joginder is weak?
I'll teach them all a lesson.
Honour killing is not a sin.
'Whoever utters this, shall be fulfilled'
'Eternal is the Holy Lord'
My head is aching.
I got really drunk.
Don't you remember anything I said?
Why, what did you say?
I'll only marry from my community, a guy of my father's choice.
So what?
I'm ready to get baptized and join your community.
You can't just join Knanaya community like that.
Moreover,
your parents, our extended families...
There are so many obstacles,
if we even think of marriage.
Mary, we'll solve it all.
All that matters is your consent.
That's not enough, Happy
We'll need the blessings of both of our parents.
Also, how can anyone change religions
just to get married?
Well, I'm basically a hybrid.
I'm half-Christian
I'm ready to become a full Christian for you.
Will you ask your dad, please?
Happy, please stop.
If you agree, your dad will also agree.
You are...?
We're Mary's friends.
Sir! Mary's friends who eloped are here!
Oh sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
Welcome both of you!
Don't worry.
You are safe here, not to worry .
If at all anyone turns up for you,
our guys will deal with it.
Come in.
I'll make your marriage happen.
Correct!
Sir is an expert in inter-religious marriages!
Zip your mouth. Get them something to drink.
What would you like tea or coffee?
Lassi, please?
Molly, get them lassi
That's my brother's house over there.
That's where you'll be staying
You can head there after food. - OK.
What's this?
This one?
It's the shell of a tortoise. It was caught with much bravery
by my great-grandfather.
It's a family heirloom that's been passed down the generations
You know what?
This is his holy grail!
She'll not understand your language...
She knows Malayalam.
Mary taught me. - Oh! Is it?
She'd just called saying that
she has boarded a train from Goa along with a friend.
Thank god; she isn't alone.
Yes, yes. Good that she's with her friend.
Happy, you've been after me for around 10 months now
Can I ask you something?
Tell me one reason why you love me?
Tell me one reason why I shouldn't ?
Well, you know nothing about my family...
Have you any clue about my sisters or brothers-in-law?
You'll have to clear at least four levels to marry me.
My elder sister, Jeena.
She's an IT professional.
You're in a meeting? OK. OK. Bye.
Husband Jithendra Varma belongs to a renowed royal family
But... didn't you say you were in a meeting?
Dear, I meant I'm 'eating'
So, didn't you attend today's job interview?
Great! Go in only for a job
that suits your status
Oh since you're free today,
Please put out the laundry
Then, you need to buy milk
And there're some clothes
To be ironed as well.
If there's so much to do, I'd rather go for the interview.
Never mind.
Sister no. 2 - Sofie.
She's the fashion freak of our family.
What's that noise?
The sound of a critical patient being handled by an expert
Married to Iqbal Moos.
The only heir of Vaidyaratnam Talakulam Moos family
Grandpa, excuse me. - What's it?
Please come inside.
What's the matter?
My question is, 'Which nerve in the upper thoracic region
is most important for...'
How many times have I asked you not to touch the patients!
But, how else can I do a practical application
of my theoretical knowledge?
Nonsense!
Don't worry.
Apply oil and you'll feel better
What about my money? - 500 is the fee.
So how about the 2000?
500 will do.
But he promised me Rs.2000 for this massage.
Meaning?
I was perfectly fine
He hired me to practice massage
And now I'm done for!
This is Annie. A JNU Comrade
and cyber activist.
Sir, are you advocate 'Renigunda'?
Ranadive, that's my name.
No, no, no way. I cannot support this bourgeois technology.
What happened Comrade?
My wife wants an AC at home.
Why not buy one? It's really hot.
Our party is committed to initially resisting technology
You want a Parippuvada?
My dad has invited us home for Easter.
You mean... I should come to your house?
Won't those two crazies be there?
I can't stand those two fanatics
Easter with the extremists?
Unbearable.
Thanks to his squabbling sons-in-law,
My father is adamant about one thing:
getting me married to a guy from our community only.
And my mom will stand by my father no matter what.
So these are the people you need to convince.
And even if they like you,
will you be comfortable here?
Kerala is entirely different from Punjab.
This land is beautiful,
just like my mom.
Come, get out.
That's my uncle's house.
Go on with Sharaf. I'll head home.
OK.
Dude, just a minute, I'll come now.
Hey,
Shouldn't we speak to your parents?
No way!
I'll talk to them later.
You go figure out the process to convert to a Catholic.
We'll meet them for Easter, ok?
OK.
Mom!
Dad!
So, what happened?
Did you tell her?
Was it all talk or...
Any play?
Where's Pammi? - She's cooking up a storm.
Topics that are banned: Sabarimala,
Triple Talaq,
Lok Sabha election disaster
Topics that are approved:
Global climate change, Flat demolition at Maradu,
Ssh!
Where's your other friend?
Didn't get to see him.
Everyone will come home for Easter.
Sharp decrease in rainfall,
Post-flood rehabilitation...
List of approved and banned topics for dinner-time talk?!
Yes. Else you'll say something politically incorrect
to our son-in-laws and spoil the evening.
I don't care.
Come sit, dear.
Where's Sharaf?
They've gone to Sharaf's house
to discuss our marriage.
You eat.
You remember our Kakku, right?
He's in America, comes here often.
He's coming here today. To meet you.
What happened?
Dad, let's not pursue it.
I don't want to go to America.
Otherwise also, Kaaku is not a good match for her.
Dad,
Mom,
Someone proposed to me.
So, history repeats.
Choosing your own partner like your three sisters.
I haven't yet given him a reply!
I'll not do anything without your approval, for sure.
What's his name? - Happy.
Crappy?
No dad! 'Happy'.
Is he a Christian?
Uh...Yes. - Is he Catholic?
Isn't he of the Knanaya community?
Goodness!
Kaaku!!
Sir, How's this? Colorful, right?
Well, elephants are always black in color.
Why do you use a ladder?
Tell him to kneel.
My elephant shouldn't kneel
in front of anybody.
Who's this traffic policeman?
Well, petrol's pretty costly now.
So travelling on the elephant is more economical.
The mahout's teaching him the traffic rules.
Kakku, but why did you buy an elephant?
Jeena, Sophi, Annie...
Each one slipped away from me.
Since I wasn't triumphant, I got myself an elephant.
So will we buy a quarry if you don't get Mary?
Scoot! Loudmouth.
Come inside.
Joicy sir, who's this bunny?
She's Pammi, Mary's friend.
He's Kaaku. - Who?
...Ku.
Kokku? - Nope,
I'm Kaaku.
She's a Punjabi.
She came away with a Mallu boy.
And I'm getting them married.
You look well-educated and from a good family?
Isn’t wrong to hurt your parents and run away like this
Tell me, Shammi. Are you psycho?
Meaning? - Meaning...uh...
Have you seen a bit of Kerala yet?
I'll take you around if you want.
- On this elephant? - Yes. He's my pal.
Oh! I forgot.
Where's my pal, Mary?
She's inside.
Mary!
Know something, Mary?
When I first returned to US unable to marry your sister,
I expected to make a royal comeback like Fahad Fazil.
He just had to come back once
This is my fourth time!
Please accept me, Mary.
Kaaku, you're my dear friend
I've... got another proposal.
What?!
Kaaku, you'll get a girl better than me.
I'll help you find one.
No one has found me anyone yet.
You all just make false promises.
Kaaku, please keep this a secret.
I need to first convince my dad somehow.
Won't you support me?
During the Kerala floods,
I stood neck-deep in the pool of my US mansion
to show solidarity with my people
for three whole days!
I can't wear this gown of a martyr anymore.
But please, can you wear that gown once more?
Which gown?
The gown you bought from that martyr.
Boss, are you going to sacrifice this girl too?
No way!
Who's this guy?
The one who proposed to my Mary?
Kakku waited this long,
Kakku will be no more to wait.
Boss, are you gonna die?
No, that punchline came out wrong.
Hey you kid,
Who the hell proposed to my Mary?
Kottayam people are dangerous.
Somebody is gonna get hurt real bad.
Pogo channel! How dare you!
Tell me. Who's he?
I wanna meet him.
Damn! Tell me.
You wanna know?
Have you heard of Punjab?
Have you heard of an Akali don of Punjab?
What if I have?
The rowdies of Punjab have a leader.
Joginder Singh.
Then there's one who cut him to size in the Punjab elections
Inderpal Singh.
And this is his only son, Devaraja Prathapa Singh/Happy Singh
Who's he?
(Speaking rapid Punjabi)
No no, He's trying to cause a misunderstanding
I'm not 'Sattenal'. I really am not that sort.
I'll leave then.
Get my elephant ready.
Why did you get scared hearing his song?
Didn't you hear what they said in Punjabi?
If they do it, it will be a big problem.
We should never cause a riot here.
Boss,
(Singing Punjabi song)
It's a song.
Trying to scare me with a song?
It's time to strike back.
In the name of Jesus...Amen
Amen!
This food and drink symbolises the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Eat this and make peace with God and with each other.
Tasty! Isn't it?
Why is there a Jackfruit seed in this?
That's mom's little joke.
Whoever gets this seed
is the Judas of the year.
That's...funny..
Mom, why don't you plant it then.
Sure.
I'll plant it in your name.
That won't sprout. Crows would eat it up.
Dad, wasn't that a dig at my community?
Why mention crows here?
Couldn't you have said a cow would eat it.
Cows?! Why do you always insult cows?
What's your problem?
(Quarreling with each other)
Crows and cows, just stop!
I'll eat that seed instead,happy?
Why aren't you drinking it?
Mom, that's forbidden for us
It's good wine! - We aren't allowed, that's why...
What about you? - Mom, I don't drink at all.
And you? - It's against Party discipline.
Dad,
I wanna go to Ettumanur tomorrow. - Why?
He has a Shayanapradakshinam there. (Prayer)
Shayanapradakshinam is a strange custom, isn't it?
Rolling over the floor without wearing a shirt
Isn't it painful?
Not as painful as circumcision practised by your folks
What do you know about Circumcision?
That's done on kids only
That too before the nervous system is fully developed
Not painful at all...Right, father? - How would I know?!
Aren't you ashamed to fight like this?
'Religion is the opium of the masses' Karl Marx was spot on.
Not Che dad, It's Marx.
Hey kid, stop quoting others.
Don't you have any original ideas?
I just wanted you to stop fighting.
That's our business. You needn't interfere.
OK then please proceed.
Please stop it.
Mom, I feel like eating dried fish.
Sure. Do we have some? - Nope.
No? I'll buy it tomorrow.
I'll get you plenty of fish from the market.
I don't go there much now.
Why so,dad?
Nowadays, you can't see a single Knanaya guy there.
All of them are from other religions
Dad, what rubbish are you talking?
There's a limit for everything.
What's wrong?
Dad, don't be a racist.
**Rapist?** I never knew it.
Go inside!
I opposed the conservative customs of my community all alone in the USA
And I get called 'racist'?
Zip your mouth. Didn't you hear what he said?
All I have are 4 daughters.
I sacrificed 3 of them outside our community.
And still, I get called a racist.
We were not 'sacrificed'!
We got married according to our wish.
A person who talks like this is a racist, what else?
So, all of you think I'm a racist.
Fine! Let it be.
Dad, we didn't mean it.
What are you staring at? Come!
Hope everyone's happy now?
Shucks!
Are you all happy now?
On this joyful occasion of Jesus's death,
so bad of you to hurt him?
We hurt him? You all started it first! - We? When?!
Dad got angry because of you.
Better sort this mess out or else...
Can't even manage a peaceful dinner!
You guys better find a democratic solution and make peace with dad.
Come on, girls!
Jeena - Get lost!
Boss, are you gonna watch a movie?
Which film?
'The Mousetrap'
I'll set one for you.
I'm gonna collect his number from Facebook.
Happy Singh!
He and his silly headgear
Boss, beware of him.
Punjabis are difficult to handle.
Why are you scaring me, man?
You should be scaring them with stories about me!
I just said what I felt.
Being careful is best for you, boss.
If I attack him directly, they'll knock my stuffing out.
We can trap him using other ways.
He's yet to see my true colours.
I'm from Kerala, Kumarakom
Kaaku
River....
(Trying to speak Hindi)
Such a sweet boy!
Eat Kiddo. I made it.
Joginderji - Inderji
Hearty greetings.
I'm very happy.
See, there's one thing, Inderpalji
True that our children chose a wrong path.
But something good has come out of it.
Yes, our years of enemity has come to an end.
That's true.
Congratulations! Come, gimme a hug.
Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Let's fix the wedding.
Of course!
I'm happy.
I'm thrilled!
For you.
Yes, Hello.
Who's this?
Yes
It's a minister's call from Delhi.
Your only son Happy...
Is in Kerala now
Mallu people are gonna get him married
to a Mallu girl
Come fast and stop them.
Otherwise,
You'll never get to See his face ever again.
Dude, You speak Hindi?
What?
I've worked in Punjab for 5 years.
With our elephant in circus.
What did you say over phone?
That doesn’t translate well in Malayalam.
It has a punch only in Punjabi language.
Anyways, He's gonna be in deep, deep trouble.
Our son is not with Joginder's daughter.
Then?
He eloped with a Mallu girl. - Good Lord!
So let's start invitations, and call some Bollywood stars?
Uh...Why should we trouble them?
Why wait? Let's fix a DJ and print the wedding cards.
So, let's celebrate.
Boss, look!
All four girls are there.
Move away! I want just Mary.
What a whack, man! You're just supposed to act.
Boss, your crown of thorns!
Look at him staring!
He's eyeing our wives.
(Indistinct chattering)
Dad,
If you're tired, I'll swing it around.
How about I swing it at your head.
Didn't work out.
Do you wanna continue yesterday's fight here?
He was speaking nonsense!
Anyway,
one more son-in-law is gonna come.
At least, one daughter ended up with common sense.
What an lovely design, see.
Sir,
Tell me.
Open your mouth and tell me the matter.
Whatever we've heard is true.
C'mon, just help me.
Pull it down.
Pull it down, I say.
Go away, man!
I'll do it myself.
Come on
Mary, one minute.
Oh! Jesus!
Oh goodness! What's this?
What happened?
Somebody help!
Kaaku, please see what happened?
Joicy sir,
What a farrago of distortions!
Happy's wedding is happening with someone else.
And Pammi is with another guy.
I never want to see those scoundrels again.
Let's go - Just a minute.
We've a deadly gang in Kerala to do this job.
Jose brothers.
Where are you?
What on earth are you doing?
All my calculations have gone wrong!
And it's all your fault.
You should've brought up the kids properly.
Is that so?
I'd taught them everything about our church traditions.
'Love your neighbour' must be what you instilled
And all have obeyed promptly!
Did you hear what dad just said?
Jesus!
Please listen to what I say dear
That boy has agreed to become a Christian.
But even if he does that,
he cannot become part of our community.
You know that!
To think of all I proclaimed in front of the church...
I'm going to be ridiculed by the entire crowd.
Dear Lord,
You gave me four daughters
Can't you find me a single Knanaya son-in-law?
Right now she has told only us
Before anyone else comes to know,
we can brainwash her against it.
Shall we go for a counselling?
Perhaps they'll tell us how to handle this.
Once, at least once in your life
Can you not mess things up?
Joginder's men are on the lookout
They won't stop at anything.
Well whatever's happened has happened.
Now... - What 'now'?
But...
Greetings Uncle,
Uncle, aunty, please forgive me.
Happy bhaiyya has not done anything wrong.
He took a risk and came all the way, from Punjab
Just for me and Pammi.
He's actually in love with Mary.
Mary is a lovely person, Uncle
Please agree to meet her.
Uncle, Sharaf and I want to get married.
Please help us.
Of course he will. Uncle can understand the problems of an entire state
His heart is as a big as Punjab itself...
Don't overdo it, bro!
Baba, the thing is..
Conduct their marriage,
and get back to Punjab.
Where the hell is that Punjabi? - Come out!
Search there
There he is! - Catch him.
Stop there!
This one's not the Punjabi.
But why did he flee seeing us?
To meet me... He came to meet me.
Who's he to you?
He's my Tik Tok friend.
Tik Tok?
Yes, it's a timepass for jobless people.
Oh! That acting platform.
Heck with your Tik Tok.
So the bashing up was not a waste
Where's this guy, Happy Singh?
Oh,I know him!
I'll let you know when I see him next.
Are you sure? - Yes.
Mom,
Whose bright idea was it
to fix my marriage with Pammi?
The CCTV video of you running away with her
was viral all over in Punjab.
What else were we supposed to do?
Once you're back in Patiala
please make sure dad cools down.
Also coax him to agree to my marriage with Mary...
Of course! Isn't that why we are on this shopping spree?
Oh I see!
Even if your dad agrees, will her parents come around?
I'm not sure.
I'll take care of that, mom. - You'd better.
Go on, have a drink.
If things are this complicated,
just leave it.
You don't even have any feelings for Happy Bhaiyya,
Then what's the big deal?
I'm sure he'll understand.
Pammi,
He might understand...
But I don't think I can.
What?
Hey! Let me see that face!
I married outside the community
only because you three were there after me.
Oh really now!
Even I married outside the community
only because you two were there after me.
Fine thought! I followed your examples
because Mary was there after me.
My dear,
Your marrying outside the community is not like what we did.
Do you know how hurt our dad would be?
'I'll only marry a Knanaya boy'
Was your constant refrain, right?
Then what happened?
Shame on you.
Well hello! I supported all of you through your relationships
And now, when I need support,
all of you are turning your backs!
That's it. I'm leaving.
Hey! She actually left.
What she said is true...
Who else would support them except us?
For that, we need to rally our husbands together.
True.
We'll hatch a plan
and lock them in.
Impossible!
That's impossible, Iqbal.
Out of question.
How will we face our family members
If anything of this sort happens?
I cannot allow this.
Iqbal, stop loafing around,
and go mix the oils.
Go!
Ruined everything!
Sofie,
I'll convince him. Just wait.
Did I ask you to get your uncle's daughter
married to a Punjabi?
No. - No, right?
I was talking about my own sister's marriage.
So, what is troubling your Uncle?
We were just talking casually.
I never expected him to say that.
What did I actually tell you?
That I want to go home for a few days and calm down my dad.
You went and narrated the entire tale
And ruined it completely!
What was the need to mention the marriage anyway?
What's Uncle's problem anyway? Always poking his nose into matters
I'll set his beard on fire
Lower your voice please! He'll hear.
Let him! You and your family Need some setting right.
Once that's done, let me know.
Hey Sofie - What?
Nothing. Travel safe.
Oh! You're here? - Where's Iqbal?
Don't ask me anything about him. - Where's Jithu?
Don't ask me anything about him either.
Didn't I ask you not to call me?
I'll not come back.
Since everyone's here,
Might as well have lunch.
One, two, three, four
All on the dance floor
All of us are here for you
We'll convince our parents.
Your wedding is gonna be terrific.
Un-known number?
This time of the day?
Hi brother,
Iqbal Moos here.
He's never called me.
Wonder what's up.
Yeah speak.
Big brother,
Yes, little one?
Is my elder sister at home?
No. What about my younger sister?
No. - She left too, huh?
Good that you called.
I was planning to call you myself.
How about...we meet?
Then might as well call the other guy too
That communist brigand
Big brother,
I'm listening in right here!
Brigand, huh?
Oh I meant communist firebrand!
It's time to take matters into our hands.
If this Punjabi enters our family,
we're gonna be in deep trouble.
Yes but first, we need to pacify our wives
and bring them back home.
We should stand together. Rise above our differences.
Definitely, bro.
We'll survive this.
Absolutely.
Beloved rowdies,
He'll reach the location at the right time.
Don't aim for the head.
It's pointless. Why because?
He has cloth wrapped around it.
Boss,
Why don’t we steal his turban cloth?
Aren't you done with flicking people's clothes?
Do you wanna get me gunned down?
Bro!, - Don't you dare call me bro.
Boss,
Are you sure he'll turn up?
Of course!
I told Mary to tell him that my elephant is unwell
and he should treat it.
He is gonna walk into our trap
He is gonna get screwed!
Get moving now.
That one, over there? He's a fool.
Correct, boss!
One pineapple juice, please.
A lime juice for me.
For you?
Cola.
with a peg of whisky.
Terrible hangover.
Rum is better.
What?! You drink?
Wel... under certain circumstances, there's no point drinking juice.
That's outrageous! - Why what happened?
How will we manage with just a peg? Order a full bottle
A Full and a Cola.
Rum, right?
No way!
I'm against Cola. I'll have it with juice.
A comprehensive and cohesive assay
Is imperative before we engage.
Could you please translate?
Neither a dictionary nor a thesaurus is here right now.
We need to think well before targeting him...
Is what I meant.
Couldn't you just say this plainly?
Big brother,
You eat chicken?
Under certain circumstances,
there's no point in not eating chicken.
True, true - Very true.
May I take this bottle of sauce?
I've seen him somehwere earlier...
I had an encounter with that fat fellow,
when I was wooing Annie.
The same goons attacked me
when I was pursuing Sofie
I ran away from them
When I was courting Jeena
What the heck are you waiting for?
Go beat them to a pulp
Isn't he Mary's guy?
Ah...yes!
Boss, - Tell me,
How're things going? - Going out of our hands!
The Sardar is not like the other three.
He's way beyond our league! - Should I step in?
- Should I step in at my aunty's house in Vijayawada, I mean?
That might be wise.
Or maybe head back to Oklahoma?
(Trying to converse in Hindi)
Malayalam will do.
Malayalam?
He knows the language!
We were trying to settle some old scores
Isn't he our enemy? - Better to have him as an ally.
We're Mary's brothers...
We're co-brothers. - Yeah. I understood.
Good that you came.
Else it would've been 'the end' for us.
United we stand, divided we fall
As simple as that.
Of course.
From this day onwards, you're family.
You're our choice as Mary's groom.
It's a unanimous decision. No dispute.
Since all the coalition parties have united,
Come on India.
What happened to you, Happy?
He was beaten up by the public.
It's a traditional Kerala welcome
He'll get used to it.
My brothers-in-law are getting medication for bruises
At least they brought it upon themselves
Why did you have to interfere?
He needs to curry favour with your family
Needs to convince your dad
Happy's superb gameplan!
Come on Pammi, let's beat it.
Now you take over.
Does it hurt, Happy?
A little, but a kiss might help.
Nice try!
"A million flowers bloom "
"With a touch from the dew "
"Rains turn into rainbows "
"With a kiss from my groom "
"My heart make melodies "
"When the wind brushes me"
"Who indeed is this "
"That takes my breath away? "
"Searching my unfathomable soul "
"What should I call you my beloved? "
"Burn my soul like a slow fire "
We need to target Dad's weakness
And win him over.
But what's his weakness?
That's the question.
'Boat Race'
"You tug my heartstrings "
"Making melody in my soul "
"My eyes blush and wait "
"For the warmth of your smile "
Stop, stop, stop!
Shake hands, you both.
See, nice photo, right?
I like them together.
"Your words of love "
"Like a cascading stream "
"Fill my heart and soul Makes me dance and smile"
"The whole world vanishes "
"'Til there's just you left "
"Just you and me, my love "
All the bills are in there.
How fast these kids grow up!
Mary.
She was always my pet.
She was different from the rest,
Never did anything that'd upset me
She's still the same!
From the beginning she'd made one thing clear:
she'll marry only after getting your consent.
Happy,
Even I used to rebel against traditions, when young.
But now I realize one thing
These traditions and beliefs are a part of me.
Wanting to attend a church fest with kids and grandkids...
Is that too much to ask for?
Is it? - Nope.
Even your parents would feel the same.
Don't worry about my parents...
They'll agree to the marriage.
For your sake, I'll happily convert to Christianity.
We'll bring up our kids as Christians too.
Oh I see!
So now I'm the villain standing between you two.
You're giving me so much tension, my BP's gonna shoot up
It is?! Then we'll add laughing exercises
To tomorrow's boat race practice.
That'll cool you down.
I was certain that you'd turned up for training...
just to butter me up.
To be honest with you,
Finding a Knanaya groom for Mary
is the least of my worries.
Winning this trophy matters most.
This time we will.
I'm with you.
To tell the truth
Everyone is pumped up after you joined us.
For me, the race and practice is a thrill
A welcome break from the Boredom of life!
Bored? When there's so much joy at home?
Joy? What joy?
My son-in-laws are always squabbling.
Because of which, my daughters rarely come home.
So it's always just the two of us.
After thirty long years of marriage,
What joy's left?
We don't even share a bed now.
Know what, uncle...
There's no point keeping love under wraps.
It should be expressed.
Is it?
'Touch' is very important in a relationship.
When you touch someone, the body releases 'happy hormones'.
Give a try, uncle.
Revive that magic spark.
Looks like you'll make a Romeo out of me yet!
Ok, this is where I leave?
Well, I'll get down here.
Careful.
Do you promise to always take care of my daughter?
If you'd only give me a chance...!
That can be sorted.
Before this boat race, we'll get you married
Gosh!
There's barely a month.
They won't let us to conduct it at our church
But we'll get it done at a nearby Catholic church.
Let Father Jimmy see,
that a Sardarji turned Christian, because of me!
Get going. Drop him.
Oh, and... tell your father to meet me.
Mary, come!
Come down, I have news.
Get ready with Fish Curry and Kallappam.
Your dad agreed to our marriage.
What?!
Baba agreed to your marriage.
Your marriage with Mary.
Speak to him.
(Correcting her Hindi)
Teach me Hindi later, Speak to him now.
Both of you listen up,
If you wanna marry with my permission,
Hey, it was Happy Bhaiyya over the phone.
Joicy uncle and Inderpal Chacha
Have both agreed to their marriage.
We'll be late... Let's go.
Come with us.
Who're they?
Reeta, bring Mary.
Reeta, sweets for you.
Hand over the gifts, everyone
Presenting gifts during 'Rokka'
is considered a matter of pride.
Rocker? What's that?
Rokka is Punjabi for engagement.
We've fixed the date over the phone,
So no confusion there.
Let's fix the menu then.
Oh! But that would be...difficult
Our people need local flavours
Dad, why don't we try a fusion?
And have both Mallu and Punjabi dishes together?
We don't approve of such confused menus.
He's beginning to get on my nerves
Sir, why not take a look around the house?
Come.
Don't be shy. Go talk to them.
Go on
My blessings!
Thank you so much for agreeing to our wedding.
You look gorgeous in this costume.
Isn't this the Phulkari embroidery of our Punjab?
Come on dear.
She's a very nice girl.
But her family..
They didn't even give me a gift! - They'll give you later.
Here on, all rituals will be Punjabi.
Yes, Of course.
Otherwise, your dad-in-law will take you for granted.
You'll be your father-in-law's slave!
Nah!
I'll make sure she is converted to Sikhism before marriage.
Goes without saying.
I've made arrangements for the same
at a Gurudwara in Kochi.
What happened to you?
Nothing dad.
I'm happy with this marriage dear,
So don't be upset about that.
By the way, where is he getting baptised?
Here... or in Punjab?
Please come here, dear
Can't find the room's key
Did I ever promise you that I would become a Sardarni?
Your baptism, and a church wedding. That was the plan!
Just to get Baba's consent, I...
Now I'll become a liar in their eyes!
Do you really want a marriage hoodwinking everyone like this?
What do you mean?
We'll try a bit longer
And still if nothing works out...
Mary, please.
There are only two more functions.
I'll somehow manage those.
Before the wedding, I'm sure One of the dads will come around.
After we're married,
I'll fall at their feet and seek forgiveness.
I can't live without you.
Molly,
I heard the voice message you sent Eldho.
Please make sure no one knows of my involvement
Never! Keep this to yourself for now.
He wants to fool everyone
And get away with two marriage functions.
Over my dead body!
Great going, boy!
Rokka and Christian engagement went on in parallel
Without much confusions.
I wish Sharaf were around
For moral support.
Oh come on. We're here for you
Let Sharaf enjoy his honeymoon and get back.
What's troubling you?
Like the Knanaya custom,
even Punjabis have two rituals before marriage.
Kurumai and Mehandi.
Kurumai? What's that?
The Punjabi equivalent of your betrothal.
Aren't there similarities in rituals of both sides?
We'll mix it up and hold a single event
In a way no one can figure out.
Then, we'll be safe.
I've a super idea along these lines.
A bit complicated but might work.
During the Punjabi function,
our dad shouldn't be there.
And when the Christian function is happening,
your Baba shouldn't be there.
Risky, but worth a try.
Didn't get you
Well. How to explain...
Look, the blacks are Mallus.
And the whites are Punjabis.
Gosh!
You guys are so politically incorrect.
These are Mallus and these are Punjabis. OK now?
This red turban is your Baba.
And this white Jubba is our dad.
So, this Saturday, these people want Kurmai
and these people need betrothal.
Both parties will arrive at the resort.
We'll set the ambience for both these functions.
The morning of the function,
we'll remove our dad from the venue.
And Baba will conduct this... Kurkure...?
Not Kurkure, Kurmai.
Ah yes. We'll conduct this Kurmai. - Then what about the betrothal?
We convince dad that the betrothal's done.
We'll find a way. Don't be a wet blanket.
The next day, repeat.
We set the ambience for both rituals.
That day, we remove Baba from the scene.
Convince him that Mehndi took place
When actually the Chandamchaarthu would've happened.
Such a massive buildup for this simple plot?!
As if you would've understood otherwise.
If not for this carrom board, you'd still be counting stars.
It's actually a house of cards
Will it work out?
Hello Gandhiji, do you wanna get married?
Then, stick to the plan.
For this to work out, we need the support of our mom-in-law,
our wives and some of our relatives as well.
That we'll take care.
But you should deal with the Punjabis.
Definitely.
Then chill!
By then I'm sure, One of the dads will come around.
And if neither of them do?
Priyadarshan climax! Crash bam boom with a song.
Be cool. We'll work it out.
Anyways the nuts are out. Might as well screw it in.
What a dreadful analogy!
Quite apt considering the standard of my listeners
For you, this'll do.
Come on, enough of discussions.
Stop playing, you fools!
What the heck?
Better stop right now.
You've been playing around for too long
I'll put an end to it today.
Girls, get inside. There's gonna be a bloodbath.
Stop yelping, and speak.
You thought you can cheat Joicy sir and the entire Knanaya community
And hold a Punjabi wedding?
I'll never allow that. Not as long as I'm alive.
This unscrupulous conspiracy ends right here, right now
I'm going to tell the whole world!
Please, Kakku, listen to me.
Shut your mouth
Emotional blackmail is pointless, I refuse to fall for it.
Bro, please
Take a look, how's this?
Isn't this actor Prithviraj?
Yeah sure ... at our uncle's house?
No. It's me...actually.
Are you sure? - ...Yeah.
You stupid Kaaku,
You erased all the CCTV footage,
But you didn't notice the cam near St Sebastien.
The beloved saint promptly showed it to Sharaf.
Oh! The Saint's turned cinematographer?
So now, what's our plan?
Shall we upload it in You tube or Facebook?
Download in the backwater, please.
No need, we'll post it in the family Whatsapp group.
Good idea!
Then, the Police and the media would take it up.
From there, it will go to the court.
Finally the judge will decide.
All the recent robbery cases in this area
would be placed on your head.
You can spend all your life behind bars.
Sorry brothers, my bad.
I was short of money to purchase the elephant.
It was just for rolling.
Please don't make me a thief in front of my community.
I'm not even married yet...
I'll do anything as repentance.
We'll decide the punishment later.
For now, stay with us for Happy's and Mary's marriage.
Definitely. I'll be there 24*7
I'll obey whatever you say.
Obey us.
That's what I just said, comrade.
- Let me leave. - Leave? You said you'll stay with us.
I'll just take my luggage and come... to stay
But how's that possible? - We were playing, and where's our ball?
I threw it... into the river.
Go and get it man.
Go, go, go. Swim across and get it back.
Boss, what about the ball in the waters?
Forget the ball, idiot. I'll show you a mahout in the waters
But I can't swim!
Don't turn back, don't turn back.
Just a moment, Reeta.
Convey my regards to Your stubborn husband.
Do remind him that the boat race is nearing
Who's this?
He's Happy.
Happy?
The groom.
Mary's groom.
Father, why is that whistling sound?
- What happened father? - Nothing.
So, it's this Sardarji
who's gonna convert and marry Mary.
Why is that you could find
only a Knanaya girl to fall in love with?
But Father, Jesus taught us to love each other.
We're older than Jesus.
No question of compromising on tradition
Understand?
A bird can love a fish.
But how on earth can they live together?
Father,
That's easy! Build a nest atop an aquarium.
Sabu,
Spare me your wisecracks.
- The world is progressing, Father. - So?
We could've easily registered our marriage
without anyone's permission.
You mentioned tradition... It's out of respect for that
That we decided to get married in church.
Your co-operation and blessings... Is that too much to ask?
Hey, just a moment.
Just come here.
Yes, father?
Reeta told me everything.
Not because of your spiel or your crocodile tears...
I'm all for making a fool of Joicy
So, I'll support you.
I'll never tell Joicy about the Punjabi functions
that's gonna happen in your house.
So, engagement will be done in the catholic church on this Saturday.
Sunday, we'll have...,
The announcement of marriage in the Church.
The same night, Chanthamcharthu function.
Isn't this fine? - Yes indeed, Father.
But one condition,
On Monday, get baptized
and come straight here as a True Christian.
Have you started inviting everyone?
How do you say it in Punjabi?
'Shaadi mein Aana'
- Didn't you get it, father? - No.
He meant the tent we put up during weddings.
'Shaamiyana'
Bro, It's 'Shaadi mein aana'
Oh, so Anna is also coming.
"Come for the wedding "
"Listen all ye folks To the beats of celebration "
"Come join the wedding revelry "
"We need pomp and show "
"To celebrate their union "
"Come for the wedding "
You should do it.
Please avoid me from this.
I can't do this to Joicy sir.
Remember the rosary beads you took
Joicy sir!
Dad!
Shucks! Poor dad!
Joicy sir is gone.
Omigosh! Blood!
MRI and CT (scan)
And discharge tomorrow.
No need, let him take rest for a day more.
I mean.. Let him recoup fully
Then what about my daughter's betrothal?
I want to leave today itself
It's a head injury, you need to take precautions.
Don't blame it on us later,
When you come to collect his dead boy.
- Dead body?! - Dad!
I know of a guy who took a hit On his medulla oblongata.
And died on the spot.
There was something similar in a Mamootty film
His kid drips blood from the nose and dies...
Just shut up and let him rest in peace?
Why dont we shift him to a better hospital?
No need, it will be costly.
And then we might need to pawn some goods... Y'know stolen goods
What a nuisance! Ask all of them to get out
Please leave, everyone. I can manage alone.
No, I need Kaaku here. - Exactly.
Won't Eldho do? - No need.
It's your brilliant serve that got me here.
You continue to serve me here as a punishment.
We need Eldho to chop onions.
See you.
"Let's dance and have a ball "
"Don't forget God, that's all "
"Every Jack gets his Jill Surely it's God's will "
"Two people being bound by a cord We rejoice in one accord "
"Come, let's all celebrate! "
"Come for the wedding "
Aren't you sad about missing Mary's betrothal?
It was my long-time dream
To see her Betrothal. - There's a way
Let's video call your middle son-in-law, Iqbal?
Uh-oh! Dad's video call!
This is Iqbal's new Ayurvedic potion. Just try it.
What the heck? Are you insane?
"Halwa, ladoo, peda Local ginger soda"
"With the latest fashion Should be all tradition "
"The bride's party are Roaring tigers "
"The groom's party are Majestic lions"
"Together we can do the impossible"
"Come for the wedding "
This belonged to my Grandma.
When she died, mom inherited it.
She asked me to give it to you.
Put it on for me.
Couldn't get an AC bus, Baba.
Will an ordinary one do?
The people arriving tomorrow are not riff-raff Mallus.
They're VIPs from Punjab.
Get an AC bus at any cost.
Not some stupid Mallu.
I'm tensed till I get the betrothal invitation card????
There's so much to be done for the wedding.
Your sons-in-law got it ready yesterday itself.
Too bad...
Couldn’t make it to the betrothal. I slept off!
I've announced the marriage in church.
When's the discharge?
Done, already…
We're waiting for the bill.
See you.
Ouch, does it hurt here?
That's where the injection was done.
OK then.
He's all battered and bruised.
I wanted to tell you something...
Mom! No...!
Let me...
What's it? - Nothing dad,
She's upset because we conducted the betrothal in your absence.
Ah that's nothing. Lots of rituals coming up, and I'll be there.
I'll go collect the discharge summary
Mom, no...
There are five important K's for us Sardars.
Kara, Kirpan.
Kachera.
Kangha
and the most important is.
Kesh. Uncut hair.
True.
You are looking really lovely, my dear.
Baba, please take your time. I'll send the car along.
We need to leave early, there's a photo shoot.
- Alright. - Let's go.
Live long, my dear.
How beautifully they're conducting all our ceremonies.
Let's do the wedding their way? Please...
Our stature will increase in their eyes, if we do that.
Trust me.
Hurry up! Time for the next costume party.
Eh! What's up?
Let's go fool the other set of folks.
Happy, don't you feel guilty at all about tricking your family?
Don't you worry Mary,
Today we are going to make a fool of my Baba.
Is everything a joke to you, Happy?
Our wedding will happen only with everyone's consent.
I know very well the difficulties if a wedding does not happen that way.
Everything will be sorted by tonight.
And if it doesn't get sorted?
If it doesn't...?
If it doesn't, we'll breakup.
"Christian Devotional Song "
This Mehendi ceremony looks a bit strange...
What do we do about Happy's Baba?
Don't worry, Happy's taking care of that.
Shall we adorn the bride? Can't hear you...
Shall we adorn the bride? We hear you...
"Once upon a time, Thomas of Cana and his followers "
"came to the shores of the Chera Kingdom "
"They set down roots here And thus grew the Knanaya "
"A marriage happens today, Among these folks "
"Near and dear, all of you, do shower your blessings "
"Lets get the Bride and Groom ready. "
"You walk, I walk, Lets all walk together "
Sir, everyone is a little worried,
The boat race and wedding are on the same day.
Please do rush after as the wedding is over.
Once I get them married, what do I need to hang around for?
I'll come straight to the race.
Hubby, everyone is really fond of him!
He is such a positive influence on everyone.
Even you have changed for the better, after being with him.
Don't be so persistent on getting him baptized.
Let him do it, if he feels like it. Let's not force it.
Let's do the wedding, as per their customs, please...
If you put your mind to it, it'll happen
"Lay a mat and set it up for the groom "
"Bring him a seat clothed in white "
"Light a lamp, in the name of God "
"Bring in the oils and balms to freshen up the groom "
"My little princess, is now going away as a bride "
"As the groom gets ready "
"Prepare a feast for all here "
"You walk, I walk, Lets all walk together "
"We Knanayas from land of Syria, Came down to an abode in Kodungallur "
"We Knanayas from land of Syria, came down to an abode in Kodungallur "
I ask the gentlemen here who are protectors of 17 castes.
What's the grooms name?
Happy Singh.
- Eh? - Happy Kochara.
- That'll do from now. - That's fine.
Dad.
I love Mary with all my heart.
And I truly wanted to marry her.
But I cannot convert from my religion, for this marriage.
Not now, not ever.
Please forgive me.
What the heck are you doing?
You're a disgrace to Sardars everywhere!
What were you people thinking, huh?
That you can convert him to a Christian, behind my back?
This is the limit!
You all need to be taught a lesson. Baba.
That it would be a Sardar wedding!
Stop it!
Sardar wedding indeed!
Your son came after me, offering to become a Christian.
Because he wanted to marry my daughter.
And now you want a Sardar Wedding?!
Shut up!
There are guns in Kerala too, Sardarji. Spare us your stunts.
Nobody move!
My men have surrounded you from all sides.
Pammi and Sharaf.
Both of them have been finished off.
Your son Happy is responsible for all of this.
And he is going to be finished off right now, right here.
Get hold of this scoundrel!
And finish him.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Barking dogs seldom bite.
An apple a day keeps the doc away.
Eh?
It's true that you hired us.
But... this boy,
- He is our blood. - Of course.
Hey sis, what are you doing here?!
Johnykutty!
Bro, look, it's our own Elsamma.
Stephen brother!
It's been ages, since we got to see you.
This...
This is my boy.
What did you think?
That we are mercenaries.
Who would just kill your daughter in cold blood?
This is not your Punjab!
This is Kerala.
Play dirty and you'll get trashed.
Uncle,
What is it, Sonny?
Joginder is out searching for Pammi and Sharaf.
So they need to go into hiding.
We are your Happy's uncles.
He has asked us to move you to a safe location.
Don't worry, you'll be safe.
We will have a good time at our farmhouse.
Tony, bring those kids here.
We need to put the past behind us.
After all, we are a family now.
Because of your stubbornness,
our boy had so much trouble, to get this wedding going!
In fact, we're told,
He's even willing to get baptized!
Baptism?
Eh! What happened? Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
- Come and stand here. - Come.
This, here is our youngest brother. Dr Tony Jose.
Joicychayan, might know him.
Yeah, speaking.
Uncle, I have sent Mary's dad there.
Could you please keep him admitted there, till the Kurmai ceremony is over here?
- Don't worry, I'll take care of it. - Get out of my way.
So, I was being made an ass by all of you!
Enough is enough!
Get out of my house, everyone!
Step aside, you!
Pammi, run!
Jesus!
Boss, what do we do now?
I'm not able to control him.
You call yourself a mahout?!
Somebody, call the mahout!
Get it chained!
Go get the tranquilizer gun.
Rush!
Oh Christ! My boat!
Save me!
Someone save me, please!
Joginder uncle... are you ok?
Gently...
Come, sit.
Slowly.
Careful.
By the grace of God alone, we are all still alive.
When animals go wild, it is easy to heal them.
But when people turn wild like animals...!
Joginder uncle.
Why is Pammi your enemy?
How will you kill your own daughter?
She's not my daughter.
She has brought shame upon us. We lost our honour.
Honour?
This isn't honour.
It's arrogance.
I agree, it was wrong to bring Pammi away.
What all we did to make this marriage happen, was wrong too.
Once everything was sorted, I would've fallen at your feet for forgiveness.
But did you ever wonder why we had to resort to all this?
Fathers are always ready to give more than what we children ask.
But isn't it sad if you never bother to find out what your child really wants?
In your rush to fulfil your expectations about us
our dreams are trampled.
We have everything in our home, Baba.
Except happiness.
I have found happiness with Sharaf, Baba. Please understand.
Brother,
Punjab's strength isn't in honour killing.
It is in our large-heartedness,
In our deep relationships
and our willingness to forgive.
Don't know how it works in Punjab.
But out here if anyone breaks into your home.
And creates a ruckus, we don't take it lying down. So cool down.
Please forgive me, Baba. Please.
Please forgive her, Uncle. Choose forgiveness, Joginder.
My dear child.
I can't believe it. I just can't.
That boy loved her so much...
Please forgive me son.
She wrote this for you, Baba.
Apology? I should be the one asking for forgiveness.
Miss Pammi's bystanders?
We had to remove her spleen.
Her condition is unstable.
Only after 48 hours of observation can we come to any conlcusion.
Two of you, can come in and see her now.
Come son.
I am leaving, Happy.
I'm not staying back for goodbyes
I will leave early in the morning itself.
I always believed that marriage.
Would be the happiest moment in a person's life.
But, ever since we decided to get married,
There has only been heartache and tension.
Mary, can't we give it one more shot.
Staying within our faiths?
For what?
Their deep rooted convictions,
that's not something we can change.
Look at what just happened.
Even that young child has been fed so much hate.
We cannot change all this, Happy. It is beyond us.
It's not just that alone,
what about our convictions?
Will you be able to change yours, Happy?
You go. I'll wait here.
Our children met and fell in love with each other.
They realised what we parents failed to: That true love is sacrifice.
I have only known Happy for a short while now.
But he had become my son.
I wish him well, wherever he is.
See you.
Where is he... Happy?
Can't you just try talking to her once more?
She asked to break up, and you just gave in?
Unless and until we accept defeat,
no one can defeat us.
Mary's family will never be able to accept, a Sardar like me.
As far as Baba is concerned, this is just the latest in my list of failures.
Alright. Leave it.
You do have one more commitment here, don't you?
Father, we have a small problem.
What is it?
Joicy managed to launch a boat.
That's all, is it...
Eh?!
When?
How's that?
"JOSE BROTHERS".
Up up Simon!
Hurray Happy!
But Father! We'e supposed to support the other team.
If you take both sides, you'll be torn down the middle!
Oh come on! After all, aren't they our very own Kocharas?
Shouldn't we support them, when they prosper?
If you want, you jump ship.
'Whoever utters this, shall be fulfilled' 'Eternal is the Holy Lord'
I take your leave sir.
I have completed what I promised.
Baba, my job is done here.
Well done, my boy!
Stop!
Wait a minute!
Hurry up!
Come here.
Hey!
Please move. Make way.
We need to say something...
Dad, we three, have taken a unanimous decision, for the first time.
Please don't say no, dad.
Sofie, call her.
If that is what you wish, I am going to gift him something.
The dearest gift I can give.
Shall I give my girl's hand to this boy?
Can't hear you...
Shall I give my girl's hand to this boy?
Can't hear you...
Shall I give my dear Mary to Happy?
We hear you...!
No...
What happened? Don't give your girl.
My dear son,
Go get your girl.
