London Bridge (2014)
'LONDON BRIDGE'
'Truly speaking I was not like this till yesterday' 'Even for making a small decision today I think quite a lot' 'Perhaps today may become the most important day in my life' 'That's what I expect' 'ln fact this is definitely the most important day of my life' 'The most important day' "Here we go" "Here we go" "Here we go" "Beat the bass...Party is on" "Everybody...run now" 'Before one could wink the life of a person could change' 'lt was almost like that in my case too' 'To tell you precisely it happened 18 days before' 'The day Kurien and Kumar came to meet me at my office' Because brother Kurien is with me... ...hope you would guess the purpose of our visit Mr.Vijay you know brother is in troubles I know To tell you the truth I was wondering if I can donate my kidney to relieve him from his troubles Is that made to be funny Mr.Vijay? Why did you not relish it? After taking liquid cash from me have you come with someone to plead You dirty What are you doing? Leave him Look Mr.Vijay Pavan group of companies MD C.S.Nambiar has sent me here Kurien is very close to him In fact sir came to know about his financial crisis only yesterday Now Nambiar sir is ready to clear all his liabilities including yours I am not bothered about Nambiar or Chakkiar I must get my money 11280 pounds Inclusive of today's interest that is the amount he owes to me My God! No Kumar however you calculate it can't be this high I swear I have paid interest on many occasions to the tune of 4000 pounds Hey man, don't talk as if we do cattle business Do you have any proof for the payments made? Proof...now it is- If you have the proof then show it to me Don't simply blabber If you have something in writing show it to me man 'l knew Kurien will never have any such proof' 'lt was not out of any greed for money...' '...I inflated 4000 pounds to the money he owes me' 'Because Kurien has troubled me so much by not paying my dues' 'Besides since Pavan group companies have intervened...' '...I guessed they might pay whatever I demand' 'But my hunch was wrong' 'They asked forthe account and things reached to fistfights' 'Finally that scene came to an end this way' Kurien on his strength you can go now But I know the place where your wife and children live in lndia I will settle scores at our land Nothing Kurien brother He can't do anything Before that he would realise what we are Will you and Nambiar take me by the horns? Go man - Let's see - We can He does not know about CS Come, let's go 'Out of my excitement that day I was hostile to Kumar' 'But on second thoughts I realised it was a big folly' 'Just like wiping a drop of water from his tache...' '...he could wipe me out forever' 'Kumar's boss was so powerful C.S.Nambiar' You are greed for money Take it from me you would flourish only when you get rid of that Francis brother how can you also talk like this? What else can I do? You do all nonsense and come to me I am not St.Francis to solve all your problems I am an ordinary mortal Francis Earlier also I have intervened in many issues created by you On that score I have earned many enemies too But this time I am very sorry to say I will not intervene Because the opponent this time is Nambiar I can't shut my shop dear You may please carry on Francis brother- First he would come to my office Then drag me in to this and the flame would engulf Let me tell you brother Yes Francis brother Vijay, Nambiar called me He wants to meet you in the Croydon park club at tomorrow 2 p.m - What for...? - He only knows about it He asked me about our acquaintance I told him we have just met in some social gatherings You don't give a different picture to him What would he think of me? - What? - Don't forget Tomorrow noon at 2 PM Do as I explained Good luck! No brother, l- Hello...hello? 'l pondered over it the whole night' 'Finally I decided come what may...' 'To go and meet Mr.C.S.Nambiar' "Everybody...run now" Excuse me - Mr.C.S.Nambiar - He is there - Thank you - Welcome - Nambiar sir -Yes - I am Vijay Das - Oh You are bang on time Good The privilege is mine, sir Sit So how are things? - Going on, sir - Good You should have guessed by now why I wanted to meet you? Kurien brother is like a godfatherto me You knowthose days when I came to London... ...he helped me quite a lot No sir, actually it was a mistake Have you seen this? Central London's private investigation agency called Wheelers... ...on my instruction inquired about you and has sent this mail to me In 2003 November on a student Visa from lndia you have come to London Is that correct? But for many including me the earlier days in London were not so pleasant Might have been so for you too, right? Wash room assistant kitchen assistant Barman and many jobs of this type During that time you met solicitor Francis of Eastham That was a big turning point in your life You are right, sir After coming to London Francis brother gave me a job which I could proudly mention to others Perhaps out of his fear for me he did not say all these to me yesterday Anyway at that point through advocate Francis... ...you took over a loss making corner shop and started running it It was your good fortune that the shop started making profits And now in many areas of East London's you have 10 to 12 corner shops Besides you run a money lending enterprise So Vijay Das is flying high - lsn't it? - Nothing like that, sir Sir, before you- I am going through that mail my rage about you vanished Because what I read was my own story 30 years ago Those days it was Kurien brother for me Now it is Francis that was the difference I have earned enough I have lost the passion to earn more long ago Because I could sustain my hard earned money I had lots of tragedies in family life 5 years ago I lost my wife The very next year in an accident I lost my son too He was only 26 Now my only solace is my daughter Pavitra A guy who knows everything the tricks and turns of business... ...should become her life partner I am very particular about it Then only my hard earned wealth would sustain My quick decisions and intuitions were always right in my life On such an intuition I am asking you Can you marry my daughter? Sir? 'l first thought Nambiar was fooling me' 'But I realised it was not so when we both reached Croydon High street' To show an interesting scene I have brought you here The sole heir of a business empire worth 5000 million pounds... ...is begging there in the streets She is my biggest problem now Her charity and literature antics I can at least tolerate But see this "Along the lake I see a heart throbbing in sandy wind through the deserts" Who is this? He is from Kerala Surendran Kanjani My daughter's ex boy friend "The grief of break up that shows up in your face rises up like a tide before me" "My unchanged love I dedicate as a poem" They have not met even once in person Through some social networking site they became friends Until few days ago she said she will live only with him Do you know one thing? These days I wake up with a shudder seeing this guy's face in my dream They had an argument over one of the verses in Surendran's poem Now they have parted ways totally This is the right time for me to present you before her But before that I have to know your answer That sir All on a sudden if you ask me No no, I don't want you to tell me now You can take your own sweet time 'lncluding Scotland's 3 distilleries' 'lf I am to borrow Nambiar's words sole heir... ...of 5000 million pound worth business empire' 'Let her be Surendran Kanjani's or any dirty fellows ex love' 'lt is not an issue at all for me' 'Though I said to Nambiar I would think about it it was just a pretence' 'To be frank I could not sleep that day' 'Next day morning I called Nambiar and told him about my consent' 'Perhaps he was more sure about my likely response' 'l felt my response did not excite him' 'But the very next day itself' 'l witnessed Nambiar in an ecstatic mood' Now I am certain this will happen Without any reason normally she opposes whatever I say When I said this to her she laughed for some time... ...but did not say a word objecting it Why did she laugh? You must ask her Anyway she said she would like to spend a day with you That itself is a great thing What would be the purpose sir? Mainly could be to study you Anyway your day with her is very crucial So make it a good day 'Nambiar said this day is decisive' 'And this is that day' 'Perhaps whicheverway this day could become an unforgettable day in my life' 'As I said this is definitely the most important day of my life' And have you met the banker? Go meet them - Good morning, sir - Good morning Vijay Coffee? No, sir I am already late Vijay, don't you remember Kumar? Why not? Daughter would be there near her mother's tomb - Hi - Hi - I am Vijay Das - I am Pavitra Hope daddy would have told you Yeah, he told me But Vijay, daddy said you would come at 10 o'clock But now it is Are you always like this or is it just one off? No not like that I was rushing but somehow I am late - Sorry - Okay - Let's go - Okay By the way Pavitra I am also very much interested in charity - But I don't find time - Oh Really? -Yeah - Then This is our pink day celebration coupon Let the start be from you Vijay Sure Not any meager amount It is 1000 pounds - How much...? - 1000 pounds Why not? How should l pay this amount? That's ok Before you leave I would collect it from you Daddy would have told you about He did say and I had an hearty laugh too Who could be that big fool who likes to propose to a girl like me That made me laugh Sorry, I didn't mean that way For a person like you I am neverthe right girl Atypical family life with hubby and kids is not my cup of tea Vijay To lean on when I become tired I need a partner in life to stand by my side I am a socially committed person So my family life should not go beyond that And one more thing is... ...as the in law of the immensely rich C.S.Nambiar ...my would be life partner cannot enjoy anything Because after daddy's life time... ...Pavan group of companies would be made a charitable organisation That is my decision - Sorry - It's ok So Vijay, ponder over it thoroughly I also need time to understand if you would be compatible to me Don't worry Without your knowledge I would understand you She is truly worthy of being Nambiar's daughter No doubt "Miniscule flashes from your eyes before me turned as gilded plumes!" "Why didn't you sport the whitish smile?" "You are lovely even in dreams" "At dawn you are a breeze" "Your soft foot taps are rhythmic" "Oh Oh..." "l just want to do this baby" "Come romantically" "ln night's dreamy chariot on this shore" "To see and hearyou..." "l swam across this longish night's ocean" "Moonlight lily's will bloom in this garden" "Will you come with love?" "At dawn you are a breeze" "Your soft foot taps are rhythmic" "Oh Oh..." "l just want to do this baby" "Come romantically" "ln nights dreamy chariot on this shore" 'Harry!' "lf you would keep company..." "...we would plunge in thousand moonlit nights" "lf you would coalesce with me even daylights could turn..." "...thousand lovely dreams!" "At dawn you are a breeze" "Your soft foot taps are rhythmic" "Miniscule flashes from your eyes before me turned as gilded plumes" "Why didn't you sport the whitish smile" "You are lovely even in dreams" "At dawn you are a breeze" "Your soft foot taps are rhythmic" "Oh Oh..." "l just want to do this baby" "Come romantically" "ln nights dreamy chariot on this shore" - Hello, sir - Why didn't you call me?

That's great UK Malayali's need my paper early morning 'Malayali at Britain' to ease themselves They can't live without it That's right The paper is best suited for that time Anyway, your trip to this place would have relieved Johnny uncle greatly How will he get relief sister? Even if I toil here for 10 years the debts cannot be cleared Along with that Malu's education is also to be taken care of Relax, any way God has given you the life you wanted He would have decided on the rest also Few nurses known to me stay here All of them are Malayali's Have you reached? - Hello - Hi Since you didn't turn up I was about to call you Gracy - The flight was delayed - No doubt might have been Air lndia Yes Dear, the room is on top Jessy, what do you have?

That's alright I heard a news A stunning news Your marriage with C.S's daughter is fixed I tried for this alliance for my second son But C.S. turned down then How did you manage this? So that is what made you keen on this business proposal once declined by you What you heard is true sir but- Just a minute - Hello Vijay - Pavitra I am at the hospital now After leaving the hospital yesterday... ...I came to know you haven't even made a call - Where are you? - Pavitra l- - I am coming there - Then come fast Merin's surgery is going on here This girl is really It was Pavitra Nambiar uncle's daughter She wants to meet me immediately She was pampered too much by him I am busy with my work she doesn't understand that So let me take leave of you Then about the business proposal you made I have to discuss with Nambiar uncle He has strictly warned me shouldn't jump into any undesirable ventures Okay?

"But I could not find you near me" - Vijay - Francis brother -Where are you? - I am at office I called you to talk about the girl Merin who met with the accident We made a request to NHS to meet her hospital and other expenses - They have rejected it - Why? Merin came here on receipt of their offer letter So she is their responsibility That's all okay But that's not what the Briton says Merin's accident was not during duty time Besides she hasn't yet joined them On that score they have declined My fear is on the plea she is physically unfit they may even fire her Jeez! Let God forbid that brother you must somehow protect her I will do whatever I can do Anyway your association with Nambiar's daughter had made you humane That's a good indication For the first time I see you worried about another person No, brother She is a poor girl Okay Brother, I want to lie down You may take rest I would sit here quietly Who is it? Who is calling? That... From lndia I will call them later Dear, you may lie down - Should I help you? - Not required No problem I would help you If it is not inconvenient, can you please get me some hot water?

What? - What have you got to do here? - Gosh I forgot to tell him about that - Brother, come - What for? Let me tell you why I came? Come on, brother Merin, just a minute It's burning Your infliction is because of the cold If you get a good burn you will get cured If I come to knowyou approached the girl again with your dirty games The next day your paper would publish your obituary He has gone He has gone to get some medicine urgently Anyway I would leave this place only after someone returns from duty Shall I tell you what is in your mind now? Are you thinking this guy is a bigger bother than Thambi Kutty? It is a call from lndia Just a minute Dad No I am on duty No, didn't get yet I know about it Will I not send when I get? Oh sorry sorry I would start writing from tomorrow in detail So I will call later, okay? It's a habit from the days I studied nursing at Mangalore No matter how many times I talk over phone If he doesn't read a letter from me... ...he does not get satisfied Then? Have you not informed them about the accident? No...not because of anything else Few years ago my dad owned 10 to 12 buses Later we lost every thing Though dad would not agree after my mom's death he screwed up the business On few occasions when he could not manage to hold on He even tried to commit suicide When I got a job here after a very long time... ...I saw him having a hearty laugh He believes this would resolve all his problems But if he comes to know about this I fear Vijay My dad would... Merin Merin You need not worry Don't ever think there is no one for you We are all- Merin Merin 'Why this sentiment for an interest monster?' 'To begin with that was my thought too' 'But first time in my life' 'My heart has over stepped a line drawn by my intellect' Brother... Which is the way to Kallupara? Go straight!

If I tell you what I do it would appear a dirty one... ...from your point of view Money lending How about the local market here? Is there a good scope? No scope at all Certain dirty fellows don't repay Merin has sent this for you! Except the letter and chocolates didn't she give anything else? Other than that... He may be ashamed to talk about that! But I can talk about that Many times he has borrowed money from me Its interest and interest accrued on interest He owes me a considerable amount! That girl promised to repay me once she gets the London job I stayed quiet temporarily on her assurance! But it is 2 months since she left! But I haven't got a penny yet! I strongly suspect It is a drama enacted by all of them! You have reminded me I just forgot about it Merin has handed over to me cash received as salary! Please Give that to me How can you forget such things young man? Doesn't matter It is suffice for 1 month's interest So Johnny I am moving There are some more bad debtors So I take leave of you son That's okay! You said you have umpteen jobs back in lndia But without informing me you have gone to my house Given them the cash you had and has... ...returned with snacks from there! Are you mad...? Yes, a little? It is a recent affliction! Let me tell you... To get that money back you may have to wait for a long time! I can wait "To remember you forever deep down was this verse written" "Falling today on this foggy gilded field is a gleaming verse" "Today love is dawn's ray of light" "With a row of celestial trees spreading leaves" "The song sinks in..."

'Young industrialist cruelly shatters Merin's life' This is done by Thambi Kuttychayan! Because of him a tragic incident happened in Merin's life But he has no guilty conscience Taking advantage of this in many other ways he is trying to utilise Merin Our secret reports confirm this He is following the business culture of the lndian Mafia He has become a shame and threat to all Malayali's in UK! Good morning Good morning, sir! Hello, sir Hello Vijay Where are you? At home? No, sir...I just walked into my office Good, I want to meet you right now It's very urgent Can you come to Derby Hotel?

Until nowthe girl was blocking this move But nowwhen she agrees you I warn you again You don't know about Nambiar Dear Vijay Merin is a good girl Not merely you all of us like her But it is all out of sympathy Since I knowyou very well I again tell you for sure Out of excitement declining the prosperity... ...that comes your way if you marry Merin Very soon you will regret forthat You will hate her That is your nature But Francis brother her present plight I understand But Vijay...this is not a solution for that You help her financially Give her and her family all that is required for sustenance This alliance will get you more than you require What else you want? If we delay any further Nambiar would get suspicious Come Merin This is for you - Is it for me? -Yes, it is from NHS Shall I open it? From what Nambiar said... ...I think the marriage date is approaching Just 20 days left for November 2nd Though Pavitra doesn't want it to be ostentatious We should invite our close friends - Hello Merin - Vijay I received a letter from NHS Because I am physically unfit they have cancelled my appointment It says using their visa... ...I can stay here only up to 30th What should I do, Vijay? Merin l... Merin, I am Francis Vijay's friend Don't worry Today itself I will contact NHS... ...and get an appointment to meet HR Manager Let us try to explain your plight to them - If they empathise... - Okay After getting appointment I will call you - Ok bye - Merin Francis brother Don't stare at me I deliberately prevented you from talking to her You would again give false hopes to that girl Mr.Francis At the NHS...we have to follow certain rules and regulations And when we have made a decision in this particular case... ...after checking up this procedural case I don't think we can do a recheck over it Sorry! Ma'am I mean on humanitarian grounds... If you can... See Mr.Francis, the best NHS can offer is a compensation... ...and a ticket back to lndia That's all That's not all... How does it work...? Merin is here on your invitation So she is your responsibility Ma'am, I really beg you to help me in this situation Please consider me as a care assistant... ...at one of the small nursing homes Please! I don't know how I will get back home this way Merin...I will pray for a miracle foryou I am so sorry There is nothing more that I can do I feel so helpless Dear...don't weep Merin...! Hello, sir Welcome to Ben Nevis Thank you This way Please take your seat, sir Sorry, sir! Cell phones are prohibited in the plant It may cause a chemical reaction - Oh sorry - That's fine, sir - Has Francis brother come? - He is in upstairs Have you come? How is the distillery gifted to prospective son-in-law by Nambiar? Distillery is stupendous In fact it is beyond our dreams But it has started suffocating me Without informing me he gifted this to me I get the feeling it was a gratis to me You would feel it, dear Because you've started to attend humanist classes in the evening Else many...people would have seen your other side That reminds me Have you heard about Merin's case...? Gosh... I switched off the phone when she called me today morning I forgot to switch it on again Let me call her Wait Before you call We took her to NHS today Merin may have to go back to lndia by this month end No other alternatives for that You need not worry about that Merin is mature enough to comprehend I would make her understand about your situation Then...whatever you have decided about helping her issue a cheque... ...in her name and give it to me I would give it to her Giving a cheque to her...? Brother...what are you talking? If you really want to help her at this time this is what you should do - Were you sleeping? - No Come! I am now coming from NHS... ...1000 pounds and air ticket Gratis shown on compassionate grounds The ticket is booked for 27th Don't worry on this score We are all with you Have you seen this? Vijay has sent this for you What is it? A gift to you from him Until such time there is a solution to all your problems... ...to lead a comfortable life foryou and yourfamily He has given you an amount in this Don't think about anything else Take this, dear When Vijay was 17 their Kolkata business... ...crumpled and his parents committed suicide Somehow he managed to come here And presently he is in this stage So no one else here can understand you better than him I have understood that, brother This cheque testifies that Certainly! Francis brother told me about your marriage But I may not be able to attend your marriage For coming 27th they have booked the ticket for me Merin, l... Thinking about my plight you need not get tensed I will recoup from all these I will come back in life I have that confidence But the gift given by you would be a hindrance for that I knowyou gave this so that I would not suffer But I don't want this now Please take this back Please Vijay... Merin, l... I didn't give this for... I merely said now I don't want this In case I need it in future I will ask you I always have that freedom But I wanted to meet you for another purpose You know Vijay ever since I came here... ...other than the hospital and nearby places I haven't gone anywhere If it is not inconvenient Only if it is not inconvenient Can you take me around for a trip?

Ah Sara Ya...we have reached Ya we will come there Okay Sara, bye Vijay, a friend of mine is in Kuwait Airways- Sara She would help Merin for checking in She would accompany you up to aircraft I would leave her with Sara Come, Merin Shall I leave...? Friends colleagues Ladies and gentlemen Thank you all for coming here Some of you might find the motive behind this occasion a trifle baffling... ...considering my lovely daughter Pavitra Getting married in three days time So this get together is to formally introduce my future son in law Mr.Vijay Das to all of you Pavitra and Vijay please Go Vijay is new to us In fact he is new to our circle and to this strata of society When I talked about this proposal... ...many of my friends talked to me as though I am going to commit some big folly Me and my daughter were blackmailed by Vijay to make us accept this Some people in this group even thought in those lines But I strongly believe Vijay is a bright young man and my daughter and my legacy... ...are safe in his hands So I welcome Vijay to our August group of friends Let's celebrate Hello Are you sure? What's it Vijay? What happened? Who called you? It was Gracy - Merin... - Merin? Merin has not yet reached home Are you sure? Oh that's fine Ok...thank you Sara I will call you later It was Sara's call Merin has alighted at Nedumbassery airport She has inquired with airlines Anyway with Merin's passport details I have sent a mail to lndian emigration department But you know about our system Perhaps they might reply My strong suspicion is... ...she would have taken some extreme steps Because her plight is so No point in this round table conference Must enquire... One of us must go to lndia and enquire If required I would go Oh that's good Then ticket and other expenses I would meet No...no one need to go I would go I must go Vijay did you really mean that... ...you would go to enquire about Merin...? Yes! Then what about our marriage scheduled after 2 days? I don't know Pavitra I don't know anything I only knowwhat I do now is a big mistake First to Merin and nowto you I can mend only one of the two mistakes I am going only for that I must go May I come in? Sure I made many calls to you Pavi is very upset What we business people think she may not understand When things reach a point where anything can be demanded Then utilise it to the maximum That is business Is it not? Sir...I Anyway you may have an idea about my wealth So nowyou can ask Sir...what I said to Pavitra What I said to Pavitra is true What...? Are you such a fool? I don't believe it Do you believe after insulting me and my daughter before the entire society? You can leave this place? Never So forget everything else Cheer up You are getting married in 2 days Okay? If it is not so Hey stop What damn are you doing? Are you blind? Come and get in to the car Nambiar sir wants to meet you urgently I have to... I have to go to lndia urgently I would meet him on my return, tell sir How can you talk like that? Nambiar sir asked us to bring you to him Come on... Iet's go Clear your hands off me Leave me Stop it What's going on here? Leave him I said leave him Who instructed you? I asked who instructed you? Nambiar sir asked us to bring him Did daddy say? Did daddy ask you to tussle in middle of the road? Nonsense Vijay, one minute Vijay you may go No one would prevent you But before that you must meet daddy once Please... Else what you do can never be justified It would become a covert fleeing Please... Sir You are not as I thought you to be Your emotional intelligence is very poor That's ok It will change This is an agreement for transferring 30%... ...of my share in my entire wealth including the distillery This one is to cancel the existing lease agreement with you and Ben Nevis You can sign either of them Perhaps this may be the most crucial signature of your life So do the right thing I can do only this sir The mistake is mine Mine only My mind is now very far away... ...from what you have offered me now I realised it very late But if I still lie to myself It would be my biggest to you and Pavitra betrayal I want nothing sir Nothing Allow me to go Please... I shouldn't have looked for a guy who could carry on my business I should have looked for a guy who would love my daughter Anyway it was my fault Sir l... You need not wait any longer Go... Just go Then First time a guy is walking out in front of me smartly So thank my daughter at least in your mind Poor girl She did her best to convince me Let's go If we delay any further you may miss the flight So ok Vijay Wish you all the best On reaching lndia... May you find Merin as quickly as possible Thank you Pavitra Good luck Hello Francis brother... No I have just reached Howwas the journey? Not bad - Did Pavitra call you? - No What is it? She called me some time ago She said if I could reach you to inform you... ...to reach Merin's house as soon as possible What happened brother? Any idea about what it is? No, she didn't say anything But she was very tensed Lousy job in this rain These utensils... Bring it man Clean and keep it here Why do you bring these broken things? Bring it man Keep it there Bring that Bring that here Don't break it Bring it here They will have only these things When did the London sir come...? Finally they have made me earn the bad name that I have pushed them to streets What to do? There is no other go Merin...? That reminds me... If some people are extended help beyond a limit even God doesn't like it Else howwill the girl who went to London... ...to earn a fortune return losing her hand? It is all one's destiny Do it carefully man Don't annoy me unnecessarily Sister Sister It is for you Hello? Merin It is Pavitra She wants to talk to you - Hello - Vijay Did what I said happen? As soon as you reached lndia you could soon find Merin Pavitra Only when we lose something for ever... ...we realise it was so precious to us With 10000 pounds you wanted to settle your love But for that wisdom to dawn on you... ...before me you had to Sorry Now not only you All of us understand Your love for Merin was genuine Any way when you return to London I will look forward to meet Mr and Mrs Vijay Das Bye Vijay Sorry I am late Very much 'My thoughts were only about me It has changed' 'From now on I have started living for others too' 'ln the language of Francis brother...'
