Nothing to worry anymore
What are available today?
So I couldn't ask
Milk is just arriving
Got to boil a little to add tea dust and sugar
Hold this
Buddy, Where is Rajesh?
| see! So with this poor eyesight the astrological forecasts you write about are all lies!
Those who haven't seen a live 0diyan
Serve some Dosas also to fill himself up
Hasn't the Dare devil during your yesteryears in Thenkurusi returned after an exile?
Comrade! I guess he didn't like you saying that
Because he is his old classmate
hoping for a little peace in his hometown!
Why dol needlessly stink my legs?
To fulfill your desperation twice a week you do go to her house
Yes
This is 0diyan
Let's see in the brain ofthe last of the Kelakkam Family what is it that is getting created?
Come on, tell Rakesh! Only you will come up with that Million Dollar idea! You say,
In case he is not willing
Wasn't there a song of his times?
Anyway, that is a bit too much, Rakesh
We have grown old, sons,, Leave all that!
We can walk alone anywhere any night
I've a small doubt
Then he will be the Super Hero of Thenkurussi
Absolutely, Ezhutachan
Cause a little fear
Before the 0di is done, never reveal to anyone is the rule
Tricking enemies, that is, by disguising as animals,
Dark disguises, loneliness, darkness and
on the scary, lonely ridges amidst the fields
There were many folklores like,
gave them powers to assume forms or shapes that they desired to be,
With the arrival of electricity and disappearance of quietness,
Many oftheirfuture generations looked at the antics oftheir forefathers with shame,
Howevertill this movie ends, in a village called Thenkurissi,
One quiet night, stealthily this 0diyan(Sorcerer) had left Thenkurissi,
After 15 years, having wandered, meandered and drifted through various lands,
he has just returned last night
The story of the last and smart Sorcerer on this earth,
Dude Rajesh, why are you sitting like this?
We need to trap him,
- Ezhuthacha! -Yes
Hey Damodaretta, are you also scared?
if you want to hearthe stories of Manikyan's tricks,
Anyway, it's good that you were born before that,
Damodara, You tell me, what did Manikyan do to Vasu uncle?
| always felt that shouldn't have been done,
lwas sitting nearthat old iron bridge,
It was then, that he came that way drinking, dancing and singing,
Consider it as rush of blood of youth,
Palakkad Party were hoisting the flag
Then, I too can stop the people walking by
l have things to do after getting home quickly,
After reaching home, l have to empty this,
This drama of yours need not be seen in Thenkurissi again,
Don't get on me unnecessarily,
for having kicked Manickam ifl do not return it,
You people tell me, so,,,
No see off at night, especially for us, 0diyans,
Then he taken away the horn,
From now on, you will never stick your neck up against anyone,
Saying that, he left,
not walk around causing trouble in the company ofthese jobless drunkards,
Who do you think is that black magician?
Now in which language do | make you understand?
Yourdad only has to do the talking from Saudi,
This week when your dad calls, I will tell him everything,
That's a good thing,
Not to open Ravi's case without my permission,
Are you here to attend the rituals
Men should have courage,
Madam! Madam!
0k,
You won't listen to me even after being warned so many times, won't you?
Leave him, Manikyan,
0m,,0m,, my Muthappa
Now you became the real black man,
You should never trouble Madam!
Should I start counting the years nouf?
May be because she saw Manikyan,
While I was making the offerings to uncle I remembered Dad,
Even your Mom hasn't seen your Dad, me or anyone else,
My dearest naughty poet,
As our Mom passed away long back,
She sawthe flowers and rivers from what I told her,
Explained her, sang to her,
Perfect name for a blind girl who don't knowwhat a fish is orwhat eyes are,
"Give,,,eyes,,,"
"Eyes are eagerto see"
While eager to see
"Give,,,eyes,,,"
"Red like my ornament bindi"
"like the wedding chain, ardently prayed for"
"Is a dream hides in my heart"
"Sky is reddish, it is dawning"
"Spreading feathers, the cocks crow"
"The calf came running and knocks against me"
"Sunlight spills like milk on the courtyard"
"The eyelashes stare"
"Eyes are eagerto see you"
"Give,,,eyes,,,"
Howmuch ever one is happy any song will come to an end soon,
For one person to die,
Unnikrishnan, is it needed?
Still, in my opinion you shouldn'thave got into the story of Thenkurussi,
Your uncle Ravunni went in for a fight once,
Youngsters of today don't even have that,
Sometimes, with a smirk it will be on the other side
What's there to know more?
Now when he is nearing death, he is back,
who once frighten and terrorised not just this Palakkad but also Pollachi and Udumalpet
Eventhough you challenged him,
You know nothing about Manikyan,
was once under the control of these sorcerers,
"dear, don't go out in the dark,
A person standing in the shadows of darkness,
I understood that the stories were not real,
The dark picture of 0diyan and the real darkness,
To have it credible, our minds,
Manikyan's son didn't like dad's job,
"Mani, please leave at least your son here",
You should be the fear, for all of this land,
"Grandpa's child, wake up, wake up"
"with the Palmyra palm breeze, you spread"
"Grandpa's child, wake up, wake up"
"Holding my hands, go up, go up"
"We want in her a child unseen in the world"
"0n new moon night,,, to rule over us, dear, grow up"
"Keeping up the truth"
"You must bow before Goddess kali"
Greater than your grandfather,,,
"Keeping the truth"
"Holding my hands, go up, go up"
Did you bring the muddy water from the river, naughty guy?
If you drink it, you will be stoned,
The one who was tricked, was a relative of his
Well, before dying I got a chance to drink this from my child
Enough drinking it,
l tricked him by turning into a buffalo,
Grandpa, imagine your child
Grandpa, close your eyes and see all that in your mind,
My dear grandson has become as good as this grandfather,
You have to go a long way to be like me,
What Sorcerer are you?
I am the great Sorcerer You are just a baby Sorcerer,
You irreverent lad, isn't it I who made you a 0diyan?
Isn't that why people from Pollachi and Udumalpet come looking for me,
This ManikyanSr has donned the role of a 0diyan for 50 years,
What all costumes can you put on?
Grandpa
stood smiling with pride and joy is only what Manikyan observed,
fifteen days to date on a full moon night
Any Sorcerer's nightmare -a full moon night,
On this Full Moon night, like Manikyan,
Someone who used the indifference towards him,
Just you and me,
Don't bring your military drinks,
Are you leaving? So early?
Hey, no,,| would be happy forthat,
Ravunniyetta, l neverthought that I could have a drink sitting here,
It's all my luck,
Who selected you into the Army I wonder, Prakash
Not just your fortune, it's everyone's fortune,
So fair, plumb and fatty fortune,
Nowl got it,
Once though aimlessly I did often walk around this house
What happened?
But that wish was not only yours alone
And you don't have to look across the wall
Hey Prakashan, shucks,
It can bust any time,
I would like to believe that he has not touched her,
That Odiyan, the black magician,
What about the other guys?
Prakashettan, you are talking about killing whom?
Com e,
Prabha sister!
No, nobody's here,
I am here, don't be frightened now
Today, I will sleep in Meenutty's room,
No, it was not a feeling, someone was here,
(saying prayer)
None should have such a dirty mind,
I am not telling Prakashettan aboutthis nasty incident due to my dignity,
about his wife and sister having such a companion at night,
From now on, you should never enterthis house,
Even on the night after Princess's wedding,
When I heard about the drinking party inthe morning,
itselfl felt that I should've been here,
Are you seeing bulls and buffalos for the first time?
Why are you crying?
I will find a way, Don't cry,
Got to do Odi on a guy, can you?
Whenever he comes here,
It's truly pathetic,
So forthe Odi trick what should I pay?
You don't have to give me anything else for tricking Ravunni nair,
I will not just scare him, a little more,
is still there with me,
As you said, I will do the tricks for Kariman Nair for Meenootty,
Well, bring the betel leaf, arecanut and coin,
If you are a man, step in front of me as a human,
To trick you, why would I need the magic costumes?
Yes, that's why,
This Manikyan is not good enough,
Afteryou left this place, l was not interested in anything,
Whenl come here to drink, after closing the tea shop,
I drank looking at that glass, forthe past 15 years,
I would wish you had been here,
He has become a big business man,
Then and now, there's only one thing he doesn't have,
I am fine,
It's been a long time since! had a night walk through Thenkurissi,
Don't know why,
That's right, you're still newly wedded couple,
Prakashan, Shucks,,,Ravunni brother,,,
Finish his work today itself,
That's your personal matter,
Your own reason,
We will take care ofthis black magician,
What's that?
lfl kill a sorcerer like you and return,
Not very late, the new moon falls before yourtrip on Friday,
Not to go are my thoughts
Don't come to see me off at the station
lfl come, others will get to see the crying of an army man!
Despite telling several times not to let him step here
How does it matter to us if he is an Odiyan(Black Magician)?
Why is the Sweetness in your voice?
These are not my words
But yourwords
Some silly gossips! I left itthen itself
Come
No,,No Elephant,,, Any small creaturethat fits in this room
To showyourtricks comfortably I had told them not to hit where it hurts
Odi trick can't be shown anywhere
So, Elder, on the next full moon midnight visit Thenkurussi alone to the large paddy fields!
Manikyan,,Thanks very much Mr, Advocate
The Postmortem report says, cause for Prakashan's death is cardiac arrest
Manikyan, you got to be careful
Madam too?
When I heard, you had publically challenged Prakash
But I really didn't know it was to make me a widow!
I won't believe,
Remember one thing, Manikyan!
It's not me,
When an innocent man is deemed a killer it's that man who dies!
"Sorcerer,,,"
"can't believe the real face now"
"Suffering greatly,,,Sorcerer,,,"
"Why do you live in this world?"
"Black thorn on your eyes, Sorcerer,,,"
It was not to kill someone you taught me this trick
"The redness of forest fire over the blanket of midnight"
"Underthis sky which is black with weeping,"
"Ox-hoof on your chest,
" Black thorn on your eyes Sorcerer,,,"
"O Sorcerer, did you do Sorcery? Is the harvest all chaff?"
"Did blood ooze in the crack?"
"Black thorn on your eyes, Sorcerer,,,"
"Wearing masks always, can't believe the real face now"
"Why do you live in this world?"
" black thorn on your eyes, Sorcerer,,,"
"Sorcerer"
l was about to leave
Can't help appreciating the disguise
What is Odiyan(Black Magician)called in Hindi?
Earlier there were only smiles on your face all the time
Atleast to me,,
It has been that long since Ravi too left!
What is it that she should not have heard?
Still he is reluctant to convey this to you
Would you mind giving her hand to Ravi?
Sir,,
Never,,
I saw that immense love in his eyes!
I also had something else to say
Now also he is standing outside the School
As he doesn't have the strength to face you, Poorfellow!
The Little Chicken ate grains
No need of Ezhuttachan!
PANCHAYAT OFFICE
Please be seated
We need Electricity at any cost
lfthe Electricity comes in,
You are also learning Odi from him, aren't you?
Although Prabha is rig ht, aren't there too many hurdles in bringing in Electricity?
and Space for Line connection
Could be impossible foryou
l've the enough wood in my fields for as many posts you require
Is to trap me these lines are being drawn?
Not at all,
,,,any person or any path
No,, Not at all,, In fact! came here to convey something else
Meenukutty is Pregnant
Hail grandpa! May you live happily!
Hope you understand what! am saying!
Therefore try reaching home before dark
I thought you have little sense
Take your darling wife carefully
No Odiyan has cut open the Stomach and taken out the fetus one has created!
So that you also don't turn up dead like Prakash!
Reach her home safely
lf anyonetalks rubbish, no one must considerwho it is!
Prakashaettan was killed
As you call, a Black Round Zero!
Narayani must have got fed up waiting!
(Singing)
(Reciting hymns)
O Lord,,O Goddess,,l will be back now
Waiting in queue to buy a movie ticket!
Oh no!
Hail Lord! 0 my God!
Hello,,Please help,,
Oh no! 0 my god!
(Chanting hymns)
Hail Lord Narayana,,,
Oh no,,,Odiyan,,Odiyan,,
But slightly missed!
But still, Ravunnietta,,,
We shall ask him
We will escalate it to Damodharan, let him speak to him
-I will try -What?
Why spoil the sleep ofthe baby too?
Has Ravi returned?
Oh no! Meenutty,,Our Ravi,,
It is said he was not present during the incident
That is what we call,, Odiyan's illusion
this time, even if he can get away from Police and us under any pretext
Still,,on behalf of a person eating raw flesh,
How much of advising,,,
Fate!
Now why cry?
Hmm
Hmm,,Burn it down
What is this Meenutty? How can starving help?
Since the day Ravi passed away, Meenu moved into her room,
Shackled in loneliness in self-exile she locked herself
On the 14th day of Ravi's death,
Meenutty, where are you going?
Even if you refuse, I will go by myself,
To hear that I walked all this distance
After bringing darkness in this blind woman's heart also,
On killing Prakash in the fields and Ravi in front of her,
Adirty pitch darkness that puts your loved ones into Darkness!
It's not me
I carry the curse of many generations
I am also leaving, grandpa
Any outside work for me to do?
Kept pending all these many years!
Prayed at many temples
Nothing
The turmoil in my heart still remains!
A lot turned grey
Then when a Deer hopped by the house once,
And the angertowards you disappeared, do you knowwhy?
I know
Where did you meet her?
But we've not spoken so far
Earlierl used to be thrilled by that address
The only name that was always present for him,
lf don't mind,,
Ravunniar do visits my home
It was to kill two persons
It was he who said that he killed them
You!! l've satiated myself with two murders
Then it will happen only with her
l have only one doubt now
I will never return, Manikyan
I know what that is
No one will remain in the Kelakkam family
As long as you need me
Since then she hasn't stepped out of her room
When everyone kept saying you killed Prakashettan and Ravi,
Said that Manikyan will never do such a thing
My dear son
Madam
Here
A person is still in the hospital ,,,One Kounder,,
What all disguises do you take?
to see you in a disguise!
lam yet to get a response
I don't know to take such forms
l have few errands to do
When the next no moon comes, I will show you
Tonight?
"I will bring, I will bring"
"I will take you, I will take you"
"I'll take you to the hill where deers run, girl"
"I will bring a pine-leaf mat"
"In the clear sky at midnight"
"Following like herds of deer"
"I will bring, I will bring"
"We'll go to enjoy the coolness"
"Climbing the plantain grove where bats fly for honey"
"I'll take you to "Alanallur" abode, dear"
"I will come to your nest"
"I will stand, I will stand"
"I will see "Pullaani" forest"
"I will come to see the chariot-race"
"I will bring a pine-leaf mat"
I can't name the relationship between us
I don't know the affection between two people can be given a specific name!
"What kind of a love is that"
lwanderthrough Thenkurussi at night,,l loved
Isn't it because! had no one like others to put me to sleep or wake me
While wandering like that, upstairs in the eastern corner of one Tharavad
When all are asleep, a liking for someone who isn't,
A lie a man uses on his lover when he is sure that his love is not going to succeed,
l'm fed up hearing this every month!
lfl get to hear it again
Don't keep sitting turning your face darker!
Listen,,
If so, how does it affect you?
The two ofthem!
You will be forced to hearthe Odiyan's Slang from my mouth!
May be she was also not sure of your return
Dead body to lie flat on the fields!
has got only one reason
Without waiting to wash that blood and change my dress
When did you start doing Odi against children, Manikyan?
l was only away from Thenkurussi
Keep this
To kill you, I don't need this Wooden hoof
and rescue your nephew
Don't send Rajesh alone
Is your planning against Odiyan done?
Plan that you all don't get killed in the fields
To think of finishing him, must be an equal,,
Who will win tomorrouf?
We are of same age
Needn't wait to inform them,, Just walk away silently
Watch this last act also of mine
I know forwhom you are doing all this
To term it as "LOVED" both of us aren't yet dead, Damodara!
Our deaf Raman lyer guards the Station
Why did you jump upon us!
Get the torch
Give
Let Thenkurussi remain in darkness whole of this night
That is what! am saying,, He has left this place
You take out the bottle, let's have a drink, come
He has taken the road to Kashi
What happened, man?
Some oldies will blabberthey sawthis,, they sawthat,,
Can he appear in this brightness?
Your existence so farwas designed by me
and when to run away,,,
Him,,,
This Odi in Thenkurisi was marked on you
Come out then
His hand, unlike yours, doesn't tremble on seeing blood
My right hand
After finishing you tonight
All your games in the darkness must end
That you can burn this Sorcerer down in this brightness you created
Then in brightness just a white cloth to cover
The last lesson my grandfather whispered into my ears
Your destiny
Hmm
Whoa! Lotus flower!
From where did she get the Lotus flower?
"With gay abandon go singing"
"A place where seeds do not sprout is not a place"
"Come, leaving your house and village"
"Who is coming here and hanging the festoons"
"The paddy is blooming slowly, covered with mud"
"A woman who is an unshaken clod is not a woman"
"Come, leaving the nest and companions"
"The south hill and the north hill are reddening"
"I am here with my shimmying hair dancing"
"With gay abandon go singing"
"like a rosewood-black cloud go dancing"
