Biju and his boat

Biju is a wealthy fisherman in the village where Hari and Lila live. He most likely made his fortune through smuggling and is prone to boasting and bragging. However, the villagers admire him because he is one of their own who managed to make a lot of money. He also earns their approbation when he and his new boat help rescue some of the fishermen lost during a violent monsoon storm.
