PAALATHIL AASHAN
Since work started on the other side of the bridge, you haven't come
You are fooling around being spendthrift
Tomorrow we are concreting
At least come for that
I am coming with you now itself, right?
You carry on, I'll be there in just a while
Oh, your usual excuse again, right? Better be there tomorrow
I'll come right behind you. Will have 2 pegs and come
Fine. Come fast.
You'll have to cross that bridge to get to the other side
It's dangerous even in the morning. Think how it'll be now
God knows in what shape you'll come out of this place
If you have any money with me, give. I'll keep it
It's not safe to carry money through that place
Leave it. I'll take care
I'll come soon
Hey, you'll be there. Right?
Yes
Hey, two large pegs. Make it fast
Petrol price hiked again
Wish cars could run on p*ss
Leave it man. At least our "fuel" price hasn't hiked
Hey, have a light?
Hey..
Hello. Jose here. Where you at?
Oh. Can't come for that tomorrow
Have to go for work
Or else it'll cause trouble
Eh? I'm still here
Yeah, at the bar
Hm, through the bridge itself.
Oh, that? We'll see. Will take care
Yeah, fine. Bye
The usual itself?
No, get me an extra one. Got lucky today
What about the pending bills?
We'll settle all that man. Told you, right? Now go
Jose, are you so scared of "paalathil aashan"?
Who !?
I heard you talking about the bridge on the phone
Oh, that thief on the bridge. Shouldn't thieves be feared?
Oh, "thief"? That's nice
Eh, why?
Ah, Nothing
What's up over there this late?
Oh, came for construction work.
I haven't been able to go yet. It's concreting tomorrow
That's why I decided to go now itself
Anyway, now you will have to go through the bridge
Hm
Go get the bill too. It's getting late
Mine too
Is the bridge as dangerous as people say it is?
Danger?
That's what I heard
If it's about "paalathil aashan", then no need to worry
Why so?
Nothing's going to happen
He isn't a danger to people like us
It's the filthy rich who are in danger
Who's he? A robinhood?
Yeah, kind of
It's money that the rich looted from us
After all this, I starting to feel a bit scared
First of all, I'm new to that place
Hey, what's with you Jose? It's alright
Those are just rumours. I've been there for a long time
I know, "aashan" is one among us
Anyway, even I'm going through the bridge
Let's go together
No, that'll be inconvenient for you
What inconvenience? Misconceptions should be changed
What did you say your name was?
Balan
Is the bridge much farther?
No, we're almost there
Hm
Does "aashan" live across the bridge?
Still haven't left the topic, eh?
Still scared, right?
Eh, not really
Listen. Don't know where he's from. But he's one among us
Why else would he attack the ones who exploit us
Hm
Life's not like this on the other side
There are lots who don't even have a roof over their heads
The rich are looting us from one end
They don't give a f**k about what we lose
More people like "aashan" should rise
Even we need someone, right?
That's the bridge
Still scared?
So, "aashan" is not like how I heard. He ain't so dangerous
Danger.. Have all your doubts been cleared?
After hearing so much, would you like to see "aashan"?
Is there a need to see your shadow distinctly?
Got scared?
Just meant to say that there's no need to see someone who's always there with you
Even I haven't seen him. But we can trust "aashan"
The " paalathil aashan" you haven't seen. That's me
Give me your money
Give me the money !
Even we need someone, right?
In this world filled with betrayal and backstabbing,
as the oppressed would dream,
does a saviour (aashan) exist?, Or
Will he rise?
