Hey, what are you doing here?
PRABHU'S HOME
What's going on?
Who are you?
I'm Nandan. Aren't you Ms. Parvathy's elder son?
What is it about?
Who are they, Grandpa?
Why did you let them in?
What is this?
Sorry, brother.
The funeral house ran out of urns.
So I had to bring her ashes like this.
Is this a joke? Mom!
-It's the truth, brother. -Mom!
The lockdown forced her to settle in a village near the jungle.
-Mom! -And when the village fell prey to LHF,
-she couldn't escape it either. -Shut up!
Keep yapping and I'll bash your face!
What's he saying, Grandpa?
-Where is Mom? -Your mom betrayed me.
It was my turn to go,
but she left before me.
No.
This is not possible. My mom…
She waited for me everyday, no matter how late I was.
This can't be.
No.
Brother, she was like a mom to us.
She was an angel.
Until her last breath,
She kept trying to save the helpless Orakas.
Helpless?
Orakas?
I lost my mom because of them…
and you call them "helpless"?
No, that's not what I meant, brother.
I mean, they just live peacefully in the jungle.
They are not at fault, but they are dying because of our disease.
And the thousands that're dying here, what is their fault?
Huh? Tell me.
Why do the Oraka lives matter more than ours?
No, that's not what I said.
You said it!
Repeatedly!
Okay, I agree. I agree.
The Orakas are good, we're all bad.
But are our lives worth nothing?
Was my mom's life worth nothing?
She only did good deeds all her life.
-Isn't it? -Yes.
But what did she gain? What did she get from them in return?
And you…
You are going to save the Orakas from this disease? You?
They're fine!
Even after drinking the infected water, they are fine!
They are all okay. They know how to dodge this disease.
But they don't wanna tell us.
Bloody tribals,
who are beneath us,
they are alive and our people are dying.
Brother, that's not how it is. You're in shock.
You'll be in shock when you see the truth.
Just wait. I'll show you and the world
the true face of the Orakas.
-Mohanlal? -No.
-Govinda? -He's my favorite, but no.
Hey, Nagarjuna is a great name.
Nagarjuna Prabhu, son of Unnikrishnan Prabhu.
I don't want to name my firstborn after an actor.
What about the name I suggested?
Vaishnavi, if it's a girl, Vinayak, if it's a boy.
Parvathy, we have already decided, two of us and two of ours.
The younger one is yours, but I'll name the elder one.
As you wish. We still have seven-and-a-half months to decide.
Just don't name him after an actor.
What happened?
Help!
Thula?
Don't be scared.
They're here to help.
What happened?
Are you okay?
Please…
Please, save…
Save my child!
Please, save…
Save my child!
Rumpe!
Go home.
-But, Father… -Take your brother with you!
Don't worry, ma'am.
The resources of the hospital are at your disposal.
Taking your condition into account, we'll run all the required tests.
That's enough.
Our most qualified doctors are with Mrs. Shaw right now.
That's all we can do for now.
Be honest, doctor.
Can she beat LHF?
If you want to stay hopeful, don't ask for my honesty.
What a tragedy.
I wanted to give her the good news.
All your terms have been accepted.
Jenkins pipeline, ATTAVUS Project.
There won't be any investigation into any of your operations.
In just…
six days the rescue ship will be waiting for us at Darwin's Bay.
But what a pity. The one for whom we did all this…
won't be able to go.
We can't leave.
We can't leave without her.
Look, Mr. Wani…
Even I'm terribly emotional right now…
but we've made a deal.
Without Swasti, there's no deal.
But…
But we won't get another chance, Mr. Wani.
With 5,000 people, me, you,
-and this lady friend can leave! -You don't get it, do you?
Swasti's medicine that you found, it wasn't prescribed for sea sickness.
It was for her morning sickness.
Wait.
You mean, she is…
Pregnant.
She is pregnant with their first child.
Mr. Ketan, our safe haven is Brandon Shaw's private property.
And if his pregnant wife is not fit enough to set a foot on that island…
none of us will.
But that's crazy, Mr. Wani. You know it's impossible to cure LHF!
So many doctors have tried so many experimental treatments,
but there's no hope…
Find a way.
Because if Swasti doesn't survive,
we won't either.
Thirteen tens are 130.
Wow, Kaddu.
You know the table of 13 perfectly.
Divya Miss says, no nicknames in class.
So, during class, it's Miss Vidisha Savla. Okay?
Okay. Absolutely.
I'm going for a quick walk.
At this time?
-Aren't you going out too often? -It's okay, Uncle.
I have to stay up anyway.
-But only 15 minutes. -Okay.
-Don't go outside the boundary. -Okay.
How long will you keep trying?
He probably won't contact.
No, Uncle, he promised.
And Veenu might be late, but he'll never break his promise.
Sundari.
Where are you?
Sundari!
Did you think I'd forget to feed you?
How can I?
Hello! Anyone there?
Anyone there?
I have to go to Port Blair.
You brought me so deep into the jungle. At least tell me why?
You can help a lot of people, Nandan.
But for that you have to believe me,
not question me.
How did you know this place exists here in the jungle?
I'm the son of a forest guard. This is my dad's watch tower.
They are evil.
Evil from beyond the sea… Evil!
-When will the police come? -Not until morning.
They won't find a safer place in this jungle.
What did he say?
-They'll kill her, Parvathy. -Who will?
The ones who raped this girl a few months back.
They were probably poachers from the mainland.
So, this child…?
A few days back, NGO workers filed a police report after hearing their story.
The poachers have been after them since.
They got separated from their tribe while trying to escape.
Given her condition, she might go into labor anytime.
They've said if she gives birth to this child,
they'll burn it in front of his mom.
What? How can they?
It won't happen.
I swear on my baby,
as long as we are around, your daughter and her child are safe.
We promise.
Brother, this is wrong, brother.
Please let this poor chap go.
I told you, Nandan. We are the poor chaps here, not him.
Our people are dying of this disease.
If he'd told us
how to fight off this disease, our people would have survived.
But maybe he doesn't know anything.
Really? Then why flee from their area?
Why did they hide so far away from us? No! They want our people to die.
Come on, ask him.
Ask him in his language. Why aren't they falling ill?
Ask him.
Ask him!
Keys to 138.
Madam, someone was here to see you. He collected keys to your room just now.
What? Are you new here? Mister attacks strangers.
Who is Mister?
Oh, hi!
So, if she dies,
so many people won't get evacuated from this island?
Right.
That's why we need to save her.
But why me, sir?
After meeting you at the hospital, I've been thinking about you.
About your treatment.
You were saying something
about a plant which can possibly cure this disease.
Yes, sir. But I couldn't find that plant.
I'm…
I'm very sure that the Orakas know something about it, but…
We don't know where the Orakas are.
I have tried approaching NGOs, police, forest officials, everyone.
But they all have bigger problems right now.
I combined all the findings
and even narrowed down the unchecked parts of the forest
where they could be,
but to scour such a huge area, I need a whole search party.
We.
We need a search party.
No.
Sorry.
Sorry. No! Get away. Go!
Go back!
I won't do anything. Nothing at all.
I'm not here to harm you.
Sindhu? Sindhu? Sindhu, are you there?
Veenu!
Yeah, Veenu, I'm here. Are you there? Where are you?
This is quite the revenge for making you wait 17 years.
Jyotsna, I'm really trying to come to you, but…
I'm sorry, man.
-You are stuck there because of me. -Veenu.
I'm not here because of you, I'm here for you.
I promise, Jyotsna, I'll be there.
I have to come before evacuation anyway. You must've heard the emergency broadcast.
What? Evacuation?
Brother.
Mom and Dad will come for us, won't they?
I'm really scared.
What did Jyotsna Miss tell you?
When you feel scared, what should you do?
Can you hear
The whispering tree?
Can you hear
The whistling bee?
The words with wings
The river that sings
Are just a few things…
Kamal? Ajit?
…across space…
Hey. Prabhu Deva!
…across time
What song is he singing?
This? It's the oldest folk song of the Orakas.
They believe that this song can never die.
It can't die? A song?
Yeah. The Orakas believe this is the first song of the human race.
Generation after generation, people died,
but this song always found a way to stay alive.
Someone sang it centuries ago, and someone will sing it centuries later.
That's why this song is immortal.
Spirits are angry?
That's what he said when I pressed him.
He says this disease is the result
of the spirits of his ancestors being angry?
-I just told you what he said. -And are you boneheaded?
I know how to make him talk.
No, brother, please, not this.
Thousands have died because of him. Thousands more will, if he doesn't talk.
Tell me. Come on.
Why aren't your people falling sick?
What's so special about you?
No, brother.
I was 11-years-old
when my dad jumped into a forest fire to save your people.
Why did he sacrifice himself?
What's so special about you?
My mom did the same thing.
To save your people from this disease, why did she sacrifice herself?
What's so special about you?
What black magic did you guys do on my parents?
Why was it so important for them to save you?
More than me? Why did you always matter more than their own son?
What's so special about you?
Are you okay?
The wounds on my body aren't as deep as the wounds on his soul.
Tell him he already knows the answers to his questions.
He just has to look within.
The first team moves to the south of Lathikata
and the rest will meet us at this check post.
There, we'll divide into three teams and cover these three areas. Okay?
Finding the Oraka settlement is our topmost priority.
And…
And I want your complete focus on the job.
-Hey, focus. -Yes, sir.
We leave in two. Let's go.
-Dr. Gagra, I… -Sir.
Please, not doctor, just Ritu.
Why? Aren't you a doctor?
I have the degree, but I don't know. Doctor is a very prestigious title.
Okay.
Ritu?
So, I was saying, Ritu…
No pressure, but the lives of all islanders now rest in your hands.
Sundari.
Why are you playing hard to get? Come on.
Sundari.
Brother Guchhu!
We are leaving!
It's risky to go out in these circumstances.
We have to take this risk, Uncle.
They're broadcasting
that all tourist families must reach the evacuation site.
I might find their parents there.
-I mean, how long can we… -Brother Guchhu!
Look at him, Basu Uncle. Brother is not talking to me.
Guchhu.
Brother Guchhu, stop.
Brother Guchhu, listen to me!
-Open the door, brother Guchhu. -I told you to stay away from me.
But we're going to meet Mom and Dad!
Go away from here!
Until you open the door, I'll keep dancing.
I told you not to come near me!
…are just a few things
That I send for you
Across space
Across time
Unni!
Unni! What happened?
Get up. Thula…
-That girl… Where's she? -They took her away, Parvathy.
I couldn't stop them.
-I'll take you to the hospital. -No.
Call Dad. Ask him to quickly come here with the police and the villagers.
-Okay. -And, Parvathy,
she might go into labor anytime. We don't have a lot of time.
-Hurry up. -You…
Brother! Chiru brother.
You said your friend was infected with LHF.
You stayed with him for so long, and yet, you weren't infected. Why?
Because God saved you to do good deeds.
What are you saying?
His son is waiting for him.
Wouldn't it be a good deed to send him back to his son?
You helped him…
Escape.
Then I felt guilty and woke you up.
Chiru brother.
Anyone there?
Is anyone there?
I fell in here.
Dad. Dad!
Kaddu.
What are you doing here?
Brother Guchhu, come here quickly.
Guchhu! Help me come out, son.
Help your dad, son.
You can't do anything right.
Mom sent you to find us.
-And you're stuck here. -Dad, please try harder.
Or you'll never see us again. Never ever see us again.
No, darling.
Don't say that.
No, please don't say that.
I'll try. I'll keep trying.
I'll try.
I'll… I'll… I'll…
I'll try.
I did it, Gargi.
I always knew you could.
Come.
Come here.
You are tired, aren't you?
It's okay. I'll give you a head massage with gooseberry oil,
and you'll fall asleep.
You'll fall asleep.
Miss Ritu.
You're telling me
that if a helicopter lands here to take us back home right now,
you would still in your sane mind, choose to be here?
Huh?
Have you heard of Forelius pusillus?
Forelius pusillus. It's a Brazilian ant.
Brazilian ant? Does it do samba after eating sugar?
Sir, to survive the cold, these ants must seal their colony.
-Yeah. -Every night.
-But it can't be done from the inside. -Then?
So one ant has to seal the entrance with sand from the outside.
And every night, that one ant dies in the harsh cold.
So that thousands of ants can stay safe, that one ant never gets to go back home.
-What happened? -An ant.
-I killed it. -Sir! Ketan sir!
Sir, the search team in the other sector found something. Come.
Let's go. Come on!
Miss Ritu, please come.
I'm a complete law abiding citizen, sir.
I know it's illegal to be in the reserve forest.
But an NGO sent me, sir.
Otherwise, I've never met an Oraka in my life.
Sir.
Really?
Then how did you get this?
This is my mom's. She found it years ago.
Are you lying to me?
-Why would I lie? It's my mom's. -Put him in the van.
It's my mom's, sir! Why in the van?
Sir, I know him! Ketan sir!
Ketan sir!
Let go of me. He said hi to me.
What happens next?
The fever will subside in a day or two.
You'll feel better, but…
Then I'll die.
Isn't it?
In the blink of an eye…
finished.
Two years ago, when my grandma died…
everyone said…
that she went to heaven.
But I knew they are just trying to console me…
because that day…
the way Kaddu cried holding her body…
Grandma would have come back…
to console her from wherever she was.
Heaven, paradise.
Nothing exists.
There is no happy ending.
My son Shouvik died 20 years ago.
But even today, when I think of him…
he comes back to me either as a tear or as a smile.
I don't know what happens after one dies.
Heaven… I don't know if such a thing is true.
But I know we never cease to exist.
Son, our being continues
in the lives of those who love us.
You were right.
There is no happy ending.
Just because
there is no ending.
Uncle, I should get going now.
Guchhu.
I couldn't see my son, Shouvik, dying.
So I wasn't with him in his last days.
I can't repeat the same mistake.
No. No, Uncle. This is dangerous.
If you join me, even you might…
For years, I've been living alone.
Does it really matter if I die with someone?
Let's go.
We found it on him. It's a keepsake from the Orakas.
Sir. Ketan sir, you know
I've only been involved in a police case once.
-I run a travel company. I didn't do-- -Look.
We are here to ask the Orakas something very important.
Yes.
So, if you know anything, spit it out.
If I knew anything, I would have come to you.
It's good for me too, sir. We must trust each other.
We're both from Port Blair.
It's a nice design.
Thank you, sir.
He's still looking at me with suspicion.
-I said it's my mom's. You trust me… -He doesn't believe it.
He said outsiders never get this keepsake from the Orakas.
Isn't it?
They only give it to those who are related to them by blood.
Am I right?
If you know something, wouldn't you tell me?
You're sure, aren't you?
-All right. -Thanks.

Officers told Dad that while she was giving birth,
they beat her up and even tried to burn her to death.
But there's not even a scratch on the baby.
I think just like this song, this kid is immortal. No one can kill him.
Then how about we name him Chiranjeevi?
Chiran? Chiranjeevi?
Our Chiru.
The cloud with rains
The moon that shines
Are just a few things
