A striped tiger!
Uh… ‘Let the goat go’?
Wrong password!
A striped tiger!
Wait, wait. Uh… ‘I shall give you, take it’.
Come in.
Hey, did you find your grandma’s diary?
Did you get it or not?
Let’s remove her from the group and change the password.
Fine. If you want me to leave, I shall.
‘The legend of Brahmarakshas'.
Fast, fast. Open it!
[all]: Hold on. Wait. Let me also come.
Read it.
Once upon a time… far, far away, there was a forest.
A village in the centre of the forest.
Kamarottu…
Hey, we already know the story of Kamarottu’s Brahmarakshas.
This is a different story. It is much bigger.
It is a much bigger story?
Wow! In that case, tell us the story quickly.
People were terrified to set foot in Kamarottu.
No one would step out at night.
Children never played outside.
Then one day, Devil stepped into the village.
[all]: Devil?
Who is he?
Sit properly. You’ll fall down.
Okay?
How can I take you to the circus at this hour?
Once we are back in Bombay, let us all go together.
-Okay? -No!
Come on, Chinnu! I bought you ice-cream.
I got you balloons! Fine.
Tell me who is your favourite in the circus?
-I won’t tell you. -But I know.
Shall I tell you?
Joker!
What does Joker always say?
Keep laughing… keep laughing.
Always keep laughing!
Chinnu, are you okay?
Damn. It’s stuck.
Mom, what happened?
Five minutes! Okay?
It will be fine.
Chinnu! Are you okay?
Damn!
Chinnu, hold on for a minute. I will go get the keys.
Look at me. Look at me.
Sit with your eyes closed till I come back.
You will be fine.
I got the keys. Let’s go.
Brother, horn, please.
Brother, horn!
Brother, horn…
Brother! Horn!
How many times should I ask you!
What sort of rickety car is this?
Brother, hold the door tight.
Otherwise, you will roll out of the car.
We might as well roll our way home. We would have reached by now.
It’s better to go home rolling, brother.
Do you know how much a litre of petrol is?
Six rupees!
Diesel? Three rupees!
No one will buy a car anymore.
They would rather use bullock carts like earlier.
Heigh… heigh… heigh…
Brother! We are home!
Once I stop the car, throw up as many times as you want.
My wife, Fatima, has the same problem.
She throws up everywhere.
-She is five months pregnant. -Come fast!
Which child is this one, Pakru?
-Mom! Camera. -Eight one?
Last time you said she was delivering the seventh child.
No, sister. This is the eleventh kid.
It’s four years since you came.
-Will I stay idle till now, sister? -Eleven kids?
Are you making a cricket team?
We need an umpire. Are you interested?
-Munna! Smile! -My difficulty is mine.
Panna!
Behave yourself.
Don’t trouble him.
He has been throwing up all through the journey.
That’s why-
Hey, my glasses pouch is in the dashboard. Go get it.
Brother, Viswanath! We didn’t hear the car at all!
Hey, hey! What is all this?
Mohan Chandra! Aparna!
You are so grown up! Get up.
Isn’t it 11 or 12 years since you saw them?
-Sister! -Hey, what is this, Eknatha?
Except this, the rest is the same.
You look like a college student yourself.
Who would believe it’s your daughter getting married?
-When is the wedding? -Brother! Actually…
I wanted to fix the date after consulting you.
Is the boy from our community?
No, brother.
His father is my partner in the textile mill.
This was discussed long ago.
Brother, you seem to have put on some weight?
How long are you going to stay here?
Brother, I want the wedding to be organised here.
Oh! In which temple?
In our ancestral Kamarottu house.
We will stay there until the wedding is over.
Hey, Vishwnatha! Are you out of your mind?
Don’t you know how bad it is to open the doors of that house?
Brother!
My parents longed to see Panna’s wedding.
But it didn’t happen.
At least, I want her wedding to take place in the house they lived in.
When you were away all these years, didn’t you remember the emotions?
When it comes to doing something good,
I heard my dad and your dad always got together to do it.
You must lead us from the front to organise this wedding.
I have come to seek your consent.
What? Consent?
When you don’t even value my word, why do you need my consent?
Hey, Eknatha! Give him the keys.
Brother Vishwanath, elder brother is right.
If you really want to stay there,
let us conduct a ritual before opening the doors.
Why don’t you all stay here till then?
Okay.
Brother, where is my sister-in-law, Shaku?
Who knows?
Go find her yourself.
He wants my consent!
Eknatha!
Aren’t they on talking terms yet?
No, brother.
But why don’t uncle and aunt talk to each other?
They had a small boy.
His name was Sanju.
Sanju was caught stealing temple jewelry.
My brother bashed him up
and sent him away to come back with the jewelry.
Sanju never came back.
Since then my sister-in-law hasn’t spoken to my brother.
Post!
Sister! Sister!
It’s likely to rain. Remove the betel nut sacks from the backyard
and inform Myla to keep them on the attic.
-Husband! Husband! -Sakku sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!
-Sakku! -He is coming.
-Sakku! What happened? -Sister-in-law!
-He is coming from London. -Sit down. Sit.
What happened? What happened, Sakku?
He is coming from London.
-Sakku, who is coming from London? -Who is coming?
Our son, Sanju.
-Sa… sa… Sanju? -Sanju is coming.
Sanju?
Pastolighamra, Cholighat, Kamarottu!
Come, come. Get in fast.
‘Hey, wanderer!’
‘The zooming bus at lightning speed welcomes you aboard’
‘It will shake you up but takes you soon to your native home’
‘Come and light up the darkness in my eyes’
‘My son, come home to your abode’
‘Hey, the boy has come home to his village after a long time’
‘Hey, multi-talented’
‘Hey, wanderer!’
-‘This village is your friend’
-‘Hey, wanderer’
‘So is this soil’
-‘Hey, wanderer’
‘They all salute…your arrival’
Brother, that is Kamarattu!
‘Hey, the boy has come home to his village after a long time’
‘Hey, multi-talented Hey, wanderer!’
Brother Sanju!
You are… brother Sanju, right?
-Hmm… -Don’t you remember me? Pakru!
As kids we both played street cricket, marbles…
Pakru, I am not able to recall your full name.
-You are Prakash, aren’t you? -Brother! Oh!
Brother, you are changing my religion.
People shortened Pakruddin to Pakru.
I didn’t agree to make it still shorter.
Pakruddin?
Brother Sanju, are you not married yet?
No.
What about kids?
I mean… I heard it is very casual in London.
-What did you do, master! -Hey, Pakru!
My cycling and Abhimanyu entering the lotus strategy are the same.
I can cycle but I cannot stop it.
I can’t stop it unless I bump into something.
You could have chosen the tree. Why did it have to be my car?
This is brother Sanju,
Sir’s son.
He ran away when he was small. Same guy.
Uh… Sanju!
Ah. My name is Lawence Pinto.
I am the PET cum HM in Kamarottu school.
Hmm. Two-in-one.
Brother Sanju! All my kids go to the same school.
Pakru! Your eldest son is becoming very mischievous.
The Maths teacher beat him yesterday while teaching him Algebra.
Your son caught him at the wrong place very tight.
He wouldn’t leave no matter how we persuaded!
The teacher was writhing in pain.
Your son didn’t let go until I gave him two sweets.
The sweets saved the master.
I must get home before it gets dark.
-Ah! Please pull up your son. -I will do that, master.
-Okay? -Please carry on.
-What is your eldest son’s name? -Rafi.
-Rafi? -Rafiq, Rafiq.
It’s not very far.
On foot, it takes only fifteen minutes.
But the road is bad.
The barber took a lot of time snipping away at your hair-
No one seems to be home.
Myla should be here. Myla!
-Myla! -Hey, Pakru!
Where is everyone?
There is a street drama next to the bungalow.
Everyone has gone there.
Madam has waited a lot for brother Sanju to come home.
But you know about sir.
He shouted at her and took her along.
Myla! How far is the Panipattu house from here?
It takes two hours by car.
There is a short cut.
If you walk, you will reach in fifteen minutes.
Let us surprise mom. Come.
Me? You want me to take that route at night?
Even my corpse won’t go.
Why not?
There is a fierce demon there.
Okay.
Remove the bag.
-I will go alone. -Hey!
Brother Sanju! Please, don’t go.
This is no joke.
Hey, Myla!
He is walking bravely.
Will he return?
So, is Brother Sanju going to pass by the Kamarottu house?
Hey! Why are you screaming?
Who are you?
Come here.
First tell me who you are.
You are…
Janardhan uncle’s son, Sanju?
Yes. And you?
Panna. I mean Aparna.
I am Mr Vishwanath Bhallal’s daughter.
What is Mr Vishwanath Bhallal’s daughter at this hour…here-
What is it?
They say no one comes here.
Who could have lit that?
Hey, Vishwanatha!
Is your daughter out of her mind?
-Pakru, where is Sanju? -Why did you send her alone at night?
-Brother, it was a mistake… -Hey, shut up!
Brother, the girl made a mistake.
Let us think what is to be done now.
What is there to think?
If the foreign returnees want to create trouble here,
they have no place here.
They shouldn’t even step into the house.
Make them understand.
Anyway,
Vishwanatha!
It is not good to open the doors of the Kamarottu house.
Let us organise the wedding here.
Just because someone died,
how can we keep our own house under lock, brother?
Why should the villagers die because of your stubbornness?
After your son stole the temple jewellery,
there has been no worship by the Kamarottu family.
Let us all conduct an appeasing ritual together.
It’ll solve the problem.
Aunty!
He is still angry.
Even Sanju didn’t bother to see his mom.
How many years I have been waiting for him!
How is my Sanju, dear?
Did he enquire after me?
Sorry, aunty. Because of me Sanju is not able to come home.
No, no. Nothing of that sort. Come here.
When my husband gets angry, this is how he reacts.
He waited for an excuse.
As soon as he found one, he made sure Sanju doesn’t come home.
He asked me not to step into the house.
He didn’t forbid me from standing outside.
Mom!
Sanju!
Didn’t you remember me all these years?
I was scared I would die before I could see you.
I am here now, mom.
I will see how you’ll leave me and go.
Naughty boy!
How much you have changed!
-Brother! -I saw him once.
Brother, brother! A new Inspector is appointed to our village.
How?
The body was found only last night.
-How did they appoint him so fast? -I have no idea.
That policeman… the fatso? He told me.
-He told you? -People of Kamarottu!
The end is near!
Bloodshed begins again.
-Hey, go and check. -This is no ordinary force.
This is a storm!
A storm!
He is going to come…the demon!
Brother Mahabir!
Brother Mahabir,
the goods they loaded into boat as pickles?
They are actually Moosa Kunni’s smuggled goods.
Hey, Balu!
I gave you a guard’s job out of pity. But you are becoming too smart.
-What do you say, brother Mahabir? -No, brother Keshav.
I saw it with my own eyes.
I kept my dad there to watch.
Come and check, brother.
-Keshava! -Hmm.
Let’s go.
They are very rough looking.
The other travellers shouldn’t be uncomfortable, right?
All the musicians are on the top. Nothing to worry.
But one madcap is sitting on the jeep whistling.
Brother Mahabir! Brother Mahabir!
That’s them.
-Handle them carefully. -Is it good?
-Dad! Dad! -Hey, wait.
Brother, brother! Please ask them to let go of my dad, brother.
Brother! Brother!
-My dad… -Nasty fellow!
You think you are a lord?
How dare you complain against him?
My mistake, brother. I beg you.
Please ask them to leave my dad, brother.
-Son! -Please, brother.
Don’t beg those thieving scoundrels.
Your dad is a hero!
-Dip him again! -Dad!
I fall at your feet, brother.
I did out of innocence, brother.
I will never repeat it.
So sad! You have a new Inspector, don’t you?
Do you know what his first job is?
To pull out your dad’s dead body.
-Huh! -Hey, you will be cursed for life.
Really? Let go of the rope.
Dad!
Hey! Go and check.
-What could have happened? -Let me find out.
Brother, brother, what happened?
Hey, get lost!
‘Riding a horse at night’
‘With a cool breeze for company’
‘The raiding bandit’
‘Like a highwayman in the dark’
‘vocables’
Tiger!
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Who is it?
Hey!
Hey! Hey, hey!
Hey!
‘While feeding me everyday mom spoke of an evil man’
Go!
‘vocables’
‘The hunters flee when the lion roars’
‘vocables’
‘Lightning hits in streaks giving tremors to the sky’
‘Fear trembles in awe’
‘He is here, you better surrender’
You promised me company on the way
but you just woke up from sleep, Guddi?
Hm?
Papa, is this Kamattu?
It is not Kamottu, baby.
It’s Kamarottu.
Isn’t that sound from the crickets?
There are plenty here.
My friend, Bhaskar, says crickets are collected,
pounded hard and cricket balls are made out of them.
Who is this Bhaskar?
Why does he talk to you?
Doesn’t he know your dad is a policeman?
Hmm?
Don’t worry, Papa.
I told him I won’t marry him.
-He is very mischievous. -Good.
When I was a kid,
I studied at Kamarottu for a few years, Guddi.
I had to walk several kilometres to go to school those days.
But why?
Did grandpa have no money to buy a car?
Even if he had money to buy a car,
we need a road to drive it on!
See and drive, Papa!
Papa, what do we do now?
What do we do?
I will carry little Guddi on my back and walk home.
Papa, are there animals in this forest?
Of course, a forest has animals, Guddi.
Papa, look over there.
It is older than your grandpa.
What my friend, Bhaskar, says is-
They draw all the water before building a bridge and deposit it in a tank.
Once the bridge is built,
they pour the water back into the river.
Hmm. What else did Bhaskar say?
Oho, he knows everything, Papa.
He has an answer for every question.
Stay right here, Guddi.
Papa! What happened?
Nothing, Guddi.
The real game begins now.
Sit properly.
Do you have to take the entire family along to see the doctor?
Do we need so many kids?
But I always said no.
Hmm. When God wants to give, what can we do?
Hey! Move aside!
You are out to kill me, master.
It was a narrow escape.
But I was blowing the whistle, Pakru!
-Remove it. Remove it, now. -Wait, wait.
-Hey, get inside. -Hey, Pakru!
I asked you to wait.
What is it, master?
I heard they found the inspector’s body. Is it true?
At the well in the Kamarottu house?
The corpse was swaying.
One of the shoes was missing.
The head is yet to be found.
I am talking about the head and he is showing me his back!
Head… the head? The head is still missing.
Without the head, how do you know it is the inspector’s body?
Won’t you know it by the uniform, silly master! What is this, master?
In that case,
with the uniform on you and no head, will you become an inspector?
Dense idiot!
Master, don’t say that in front of my kids.
They will start calling me the same.
Okay, okay. Fine.
Take the kids and come to the school fast.
Master, isn’t today a holiday for school?
Who told you?
How long will dad talk?
-He will come. We will leave soon. -Hey, Rafiq!
-Why is it a holiday today? -Our PET master is dead!
What is it? What did they say?
You proceed, master.
Okay. Bring them to school quickly.
Hey, who is that going there?
Your dad? Get down!
Get down! Go to school!
Walk! Go walking.
Sir, sir!
Sir!
Sir! Good morning, sir.
-What is your name? -Anna Tawde, sir.
Anna Tawde.
Sir, we were waiting for you at the station yesterday, sir.
We were worried when you didn’t turn up.
How did you locate this house, sir?
-Was I not supposed to? Hmm? -Nothing like that, sir.
-Are we in the job for no reason? -No, sir.
The jeep had a flat tyre at Kamarottu junction. Okay?
Can you ask someone to get my luggage?
I will go myself, sir.
Sir, I got you breakfast from Gadang Rakkamma hotel, sir.
-You brought only one? -Sir?
-I will adjust. Get the luggage. -Okay, sir.
Sir! if you want to go to the station right now,
the previous inspector’s bike is at the back, sir.
I will be right back, sir.
Good morning! You woke up!
Good morning.
There is a cricket match today.
Now from the bushes, is Pakruddin Mohammad’s fast game.
The batsman is in his shorts and t-shirt.
He has a stick in his hand.
If it connects to the ball, there will be a hole in the head.
And running to bowl, Pakruddin is taking the game ahead.
He is rubbing the ball on the front and at the back
and here he comes running…
Catch it, catch it, catch it!
Hello!
Hi!
Do you always say hi pouncing on people?
The thing is...
I was running to catch the ball.
Sister!
I asked you to catch the ball.
But you are holding on to the net here!
He is running like a mad dog there.
He has no brains.
Let me first free you.
Brother! If I didn’t come here and free you,
you two would still be in the net like this. Imagine!
Like this!
That’s what pains me.
Were you sleeping in this stinking whale net the whole night?
I was lying down.
But these days I am not able to sleep properly, Pakru.
It is pretty cold. I am not able to sleep properly either.
Did you sleep here?
Don’t mosquitoes bite you?
Your language is amazing.
‘Don’t mosquitoes bite you?’
They are from Bombay.
They have a strange language.
By the way, Ms Mosquito,
what were you trying to catch in the Kamarottu house?
Oh!
There is a superstition that there is a fierce demon in the Kamarottu house.
I am making a photo journal on it.
‘The Legend of Fierce Demon’. -Pakru, fifteen!
Keep running.
The ball is still not found. It got stuck somewhere.
He is?
Munna. My younger brother.
We are twins.
Hey, I am not younger. You are younger.
Munna and Aparna… twins.
Very nice.
What do you say, Pakru?
Hey! Which world are you in?
I was wondering about the secret behind making twins.
-Is one cricket team not enough? -Why?
-You have a problem if I have two umpires at my home? -Okay, okay.
All of you get ready and come to the Kamarottu house.
There is a ritual.
Uh… we will be staying there from today.
From today, are you going to settle here?
Are we mad to come and stay in this jungle?
She is getting married next month. She will be moving to her in-laws’.
And we will go back to Bombay.
The priest is here, isn’t he?
The priest’s pony is just like yours.
Monkey!
Is it love marriage or arranged?
I have no idea, brother.
Oh! It’s ‘Arati’ now.
Mr Priest’s hand bell won’t stop now.
-Pakru! -Hmm?
If she doesn’t turn around to look at me
before Mr Priest sounds the bell,
it means she is for this wedding.
On the contrary,
before Mr Priest sounds the bell,
if she looks at me-
So, the future of your love is in Mr Priest’s hand bell!
Brother, will she turn around?
You can unlock the house now.
-What is madam Gudddi doing? -Fish!
Shall we go fishing?
First to the station and then fishing.
-Hmm. -Come.
Further, further. Yes, yes.
Papa, look there. Butterfly!
Careful, Guddi.
I will be inside. Come there.
Who do you want?
Where can you get tea around here?
There is a tea shop in the corner.
-But who are you? -Go and get it.
Former inspector’s bike!
Ah! He is the new Inspector! Sir!
-That constable, Munna Tawde… -Anna Tawde, sir.
He went to pick up my luggage.
-Did he come back? -He will be back, sir.
Why is this station like a maze?
Not just the station. This whole village is like that, sir.
What is this scribbling?
The previous inspector used to scribble his ideas on the pending cases.
Only he understands them.
He trusted no one.
That’s good.
It’s a good pastime when you are bored.
-Sir, good morning, sir. -Sir!
Why does each clock show a different time?
Sir, actually… I forgot to wind them.
I am now here. I will wind them.
Phantom!
They are your predecessor’s, sir.
He used to read them a lot.
My daughter is also very fond of them.
Nice station.
This is a bungalow from the British time, sir.
All those who wanted to live here ended up dead.
That’s why it was turned into a station.
They did a good thing. Please, sit.
-What is your name? -Rajnandan Prajapati, sir.
Your native place?
Purwa Tehsil from Chapra district, sir.
Hey, you are close to my place.
I hail from phoolpur nearby.
You are from the department. Why are you scared of a revolver?
You know and I know I work for the department.
The revolver doesn’t.
-Please, get the tea. -Okay, sir.
-Can you give it to Renu? -Why did you come drenched in rain?
Suddenly, it started pouring sir.
I went to get your bag.
It has been raining hard since then, sir.
But I made sure this didn’t get wet, sir.
Where is the other bag?
Sir, there was this guitar and a suitcase, sir.
There was a black bag.
My uniform, my inners, everything is there.
Is it so? But there was nothing else, sir.
If you want, I will go after the rain stops and check, sir.
Go and check.
Uh, Renu!
Take them and keep them in sir’s house.
I am at the station.
Just now.
Guddi is with me.
She brushed. She had breakfast and she is fine.
Don’t worry at all.
Do you hear?
Take your medicines. Listen to the doctor.
I will go and buy my vests and briefs.
Okay.
Hey, Mr Tawde!
Sir?
Where was the previous inspector’s body found?
In the well at Kamarottu house, sir.
Head…his head is not found yet, sir.
Kamarottu house?
The villagers say there is a devil at Kamarottu house, sir.
Mr Janardhan Gambhir has locked the house not allowing anyone there, sir.
Janardhan Gambhir…
I informed Mr Priest that you are coming, brother.
-Send the sack to his house. -Okay, brother.
Hey, get the sack from the car.
-That Myla… -Brother?
What is that vehicle sound?
MYX 666
Who do you want to meet?
I am Eknath Gambhir.
It’s like to going to Mathura and asking who Shree Krishna is.
-Is this Mathura? -No.
-Is he Shree Krishna? -No.
He is my brother, Mr Janardhan Gambhir.
-Don’t take offence. -Huh?
Smoking is not allowed here.
Don’t take offence that I am smoking.
Who are you?
-Vikrant Rona. -Show!
-Hey! -Mom!
If I get the queen, the game will be mine
The queen is not such an easy catch.
-Right, aunty? -Yes, yes.
-I won’t give up until I get her. -Brother!
I am going out.
Why are you here?
I came to know Inspector Suresh Krishna’s dead body was found in Kamarotti well.
But I guess I must inform before I check.
Please be careful.
A fierce demon lives in that house, sir.
Can I see him if I go now?
Hey, you think this is funny?
If you talk derisively, it will be your body next.
Oh!
I can smell something burning.
I guess there is a huge secret in there.
I will unearth it.
Hey, Pakru! Where did you disappear?
How many times did I tell you to get the car door repaired?
You said you were going out, Mr Gambhir?
Isn’t that the way out?
Kamarottu house?
Go straight from here and you will reach Kamarottu house.
Do we have to lift our dhoti and go like this?
It’s a habit, sir.
What, Mr Prajapathi?
Sir, the speed at which you started didn’t give me time to sit.
Are you married, Mr Ekanath?
No, sir.
I thought so.
Will you come along to see the well, Mr Prajapathi?
Carry on, sir. I will follow you.
Brother, brother, brother!
This is not strong, brother. It is very old.
If it gives in, you will fall down.
Inspector’s body was found hanging here.
There was no head, brother.
I told him not to go this side, brother.
Still, he came. After all he has no family, unlike me.
I have ten kids. That’s why-
My name is Fakruddin. Pakru, Pakru…
The body was found first by brother Sanju.
Not me.
I am Mr Janardhan Gambhir’s son.
Sanjeev… Sanju.
Sanju…
Sanju, when I look at you,
something tugs at the heart.
Sir?
Not mine.
She is peeping from behind the window.
Hers.
To get everything from behind the window is very difficult, Mr Rona.
There is huge wall in between.
Once a girl is after you,
you should get ready to jump over the wall.
Even to fall into the well.
Catch.
Pakru, pull!
Daddy, are you going looking at the new inspector?
Is he some Jayaprada to watch?
I am trying to see what is happening.
Son, make sure the stroke hits in the middle.
There should be a sound… sound!
Daddy, what happened?
Why do you always leave me alone like this, sir?
You ride your bike like a flight.
The tyre has burst, sir.
Some thorn or nail must have got in.
That’s not a thorn or a nail, Mr Prajapathi.
There wasn’t just one sound when the tyre burst.
There were two different sounds.
One was the sound of the burst tyre.
The other was the sound of a bullet from a revolver just before the tyre burst.
So, did someone shoot the tyre, sir?
Otherwise, do you think the bullet was sent from the trunk, Mr Prajapathi?
The way it was shot, the bullet must have come from above.
Right from here.
What senseless scoundrel would try to shoot you, sir?
When there is fire, there has to be smoke, Mr Prajapathi.
Smoke?
Follow the smoke and you will find the guy who set fire.
Sir, sir, sir!
They killed an innocent kid!
Why are they doing this?
My child!
Sir! We brought the body down, sir.
My child has left me!
Sir, this is the previous inspector’s.
How did it come to your hands-
When you kill someone here and hang the body elsewhere, Mr Tawde.
Sir, this was found on the body.
Please remove the cloth.
Vatsalya is a very active girl, sir.
Not just in academics.
She came first in Long Jump at district level.
She is the captain of our Kho-Kho team.
PE Master, I can’t make out your name.
Oh!
My name is Lawrence Pinto.
I am not just a PET master. I am also the Head Master.
But people are used to calling me as PET master.
Uh… please find Vatsalya as soon as possible, Inspector.
Master, probably, you are not aware.
Her body was found last night.
Oh, no!
Vatsalya?
She too?
How many more kids should die?
Most of the victims study in your school, master.
You have to tell me.
Are you…
suspecting me, Inspector?
She is exactly the same as she was in school, master.
Hmm?
My brother drew it.
He lives in Bombay.
He has a passion for arts and literature.
How many kids were kidnapped, Mr Tawde?
Sixteen kids were kidnapped, sir.
What happens next?
Sir, the bodies are found hanging from some tree, sir.
What is common about all the bodies?
All the bodies have a small slip on them, sir.
Also,
their faces are strangely painted, sir.
Sir, sir, sir! Exactly like that, sir.
What is written on this?
Sir, it is- ‘Gara Gara Gara Gaggara Jarba
Pira Nalkuri Netthara Parba’.
What does it mean?
Gaggara is a kind of ornament worn by demons on their ankle, sir.
The sound ‘gara gara’ denotes the beginning of bloodshed, sir.
Mom! Mom!
I had told you opening the doors of this house will bring in some calamity.
Are you waiting for your children to die? Huh?
Hey, lock it up.
All of you move to my house. -We will do as you say. But-
A good decision, Mr Janardhan Gambhir.
Mr Prajapathi!
Get my luggage to the house.
Why, sir?
Because I am going to stay at Kamarottu house from now,
Mr Prajapathi.
Hey, is this a joke to you?
This is not your dad’s property.
You are right.
But whose dad’s property is this, Mr Prajapathi?
It is my dad’s property, sir.
So, this not your dad’s property either, Mr Gambhir.
You said there is a connection between the murders and this house.
I must find out the connection, Mr Gambhir.
Why are you listening to him? Move, all of you.
Until we discover the real killer, everyone is a suspect, Mr Gambhir.
I am not seeking permission to stay here. I am informing.
If you try to stop me,
I swear, you won’t like what would happen next, Mr Gambhir.
Hey, there are songs playing from the box.
-Come here all of you! -Sit down. Sit.
The old woman you saw yesterday was Deivu, madam.
She is Nittoni’s mother.
Who is Nittoni?
Nittoni was the caretaker of Kamarottu graveyard.
28 years ago,
Nittoni’s entire family was found dead around the well.
Nittoni’s spirit entered the house then.
Having lost her son, daughter-in-law and her grandchildren,
Deivu roams around the Kumarottu house like a mad woman.
She must have found the inspector’s head somewhere.
She brought it and kept it on the attic in the Kamarottu house.
The old man in the hut…
would always say this whenever we ask him about Nittoni.
‘Gara Gara Gara Gaggara Jarba Pira Nalkru Netthara Parba’
Guddi!
See what I have found on the attic.
Your favourite comics.
Guddi!
Guddi…
I can’t find Gitanjali Rona anywhere.
How many times did I tell you not to call me Gitanjali?
Hey, Guddi! You are right here!
I looked for you everywhere.
I am not talking to you.
Why, Guddi? What did I do?
You always leave me alone.
Are you scared?
Why would I be scared?
Then?
I… uh, I… am angry.
What should I do to please Guddi now?
You are the one who made me angry.
So, do something.
‘Sleep little baby, sleep’

‘Sleep little baby, sleep’
‘Says the cool breeze’

‘Have a deep sleep, my sweet girl’
‘My sweet girl’
Did you find out how the old lady got hold of the inspector’s head, Mr Tawde?
Sir, she is a crazy woman, sir.
Who knows where she found it.
Who owns the place where the girl’s body was found?
Sir, that is Moosa Kane’s place.
Climb.
-Sir? -Who is that Moosa Kane?
Sir, you have to be really careful with that scoundrel, sir.
He smuggles hundreds of quintals of rice from here to the state border.
From the border hundreds of quintals of cashew nuts here.
Smuggling is cakewalk for him, sir.
He is into so many other things, sir.
But no one has the courage to confront him, sir.
-What don’t they have? -Cou… courage, sir.
What is it that they don’t have, Mr Prajapathi?
Courage, sir.
Sir, sir, sir!
It is in quintals in my heart, hmm?
Where do we find Moosa Kane?
There is a bar at the check post, sir.
That is his den, sir.
A girl runs it, sir.
Who is it?
Her name is Raquel D’Costa, sir.
People call her Rakkamma, sir.
Oh, my! She is very shrewd, sir.
Very seasoned.
Hey, Rakkamma!
Why don’t you pour me a little more?
Is your dad going to pay for your drinks?
Dirty scoundrel!
When you abuse me, it only gives me a high, Rakkamma.
If I punch you, you will become sober in no time.
Don’t hit him and hurt your delicate hands, Rakkamma.
I was wondering why the new resident hasn’t visited the bar yet.
Not bad. You only came a bit late.
Seeing a fascinating beauty,
how many were ruined and how many had fallen!
Hey, do you know who he is?
Why wouldn’t I know?
The entire village is reverberating with his name.
Vikrant Rona.
Inspector.
By the way,
what will you have?
I can have anything and everything, Rakkamma.
But I am here for a purpose.
Where can I find Moosa Kane?
Why do you want to talk about him?
He is a meek animal.
Still, you better be cautious.
Caution about him or you, Rakkamma?
When you have come this close,
why be cautious?
Moosa Kane.
Go to Kamarottu check-post.
He will be there fifteen minutes.
I want to stay a little longer with you, Rakkamma.
What can I do?
I have very little time.
Shall we go, Mr Prajapathi? -Let’s go, sir.
I hope you will be back, Inspector.
If I don’t come back here even after seeing you,
there won’t be a more foolish person than me in this world, Rakkamma.
I will wait for you, Inspector.
Sir, he hasn’t crossed the check post yet, sir.
This is his usual time, sir.
I will inform you once he is here, sir.
Sir, greetings, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning?
Hey! It’s you?
What is your name?
Balu… Balu, sir.
I heard nothing happens at this check post without your knowledge?
Hey, how did you find out, sir?
I take care of everything here.
So, I should be careful with you, right?
Don’t say that, sir.
You are a gentleman.
Sir, don’t spare Moosa, sir.
Get going.
See you, sir.
Brother Shankar, make nice tea.
Smoking is injurious to health.
Don’t you know?
One for the sake of rain, Guddi?
You have a reason for everything.
Rain… cold… uh…
It’s okay. My friend,
Bhaskar, says when all the Americans stand in a row and pee,
we get rain here.
When we pee here, it rains in America.
-Did Bhaskar tell you this? -Hmm!
If I find Bhaskar, I will make him stand naked.
Why do you get angry when I speak about Bhaskar, Papa?
That’s me.
His car is coming up, sir.
Go ahead. I will join you.
How are you, Moosa? Huh?
-Hey, sit down, sit down. -Greetings, brother.
I wanted to meet you myself.
But you came looking for this poor soul.
Do you know something?
When I asked around about the biggest loafer here,
they unanimously said Moosa.
-What do you say, Balu? -Yes, sir. It’s him.
What is this, brother? What did I do?
You did something wrong, Moosa. You were not caught. That’s all.
Leave it. Now…
what did you take across the border and what did you bring back?
I don’t understand you, brother.
If you want, check my jeep.
Wasn’t the girl’s body found on your property, Moosa?
Yes, brother. I felt bad.
But I am in no way connected to it, brother.
Maybe. May be not.
But you might be connected to Inspector Suresh Krishna’s murder, right?
SURESH KRISHNA
He was a fine gentleman.
Somehow, god has-
The thing is, Moosa.
when people pretend, this stupid hand attacks.
What can I do?
Brother!
Many people went missing from this village earlier too.
-Be a little careful. -Huh?
You might go missing just like them.
None of them were me, Moosa.
Let me put it in a different way.
Those who defied me hardly went back home, Moosa.
Take my road.
Why do you want to wait like a dog for the salary from the government?
I became a dog to lift my leg against lamp post rascals like you.
Fight with dogs, Moosa.
Not with this mad dog.
Sanju! Sanju! Sanju!
-Brother Sanju! -Sanju! Sanju!
Hey, Myla! You have lost!
Hey, get lost.
Brother Sanju! The winner must break the pot
and drink the toddy. Go and drink.
Brother, this is not from London.
This is a local drink. Let me drink it.
Go on.
-Yay! -Sanju!
-I want to drink. -You?
Oye! This drink is not for girls.
-Am I right, Sanju? -Hey, there are kids here.
-Brother Sanju! Keep defeating people. -Shut up.
I will keep drinking.
It’s my celebration today.
I don’t think you realise brother Sanju’s strength.
Oh! Really?
Is he really strong or just show off?
We will know today.
Rona sir! Come on, sir.
-Come on, sir. - Brother Sanju!
-Rona sir! -Rona Sir!
-Rona sir! Rona sir! -Sanju! Sanju!
Rona sir!
-Rona sir! Rona sir! -Sanju! Sanju!
Yes! Rona sir! Me… allow me.
Brother! What have you done?
You ruined my reputation in front of the girl, Rona sir!
You have to give up reputation to get a girl.
I am ready to give up everything, Rona sir.
But how to win her over?
Have fun.
You were defeated here so that you can win there.
Sir?
To win there.
Sister can’t reach it. Sister can’t do it.
Sir! Thank you!
Hey, hey! Where are you going? Give it here.
Sister can’t do it. Sister can’t reach it.
Ahoy!

Let’s go with him. Constable! Constable!
Panna! I think we are in the graveyard.
Let’s go. Munna, let’s go!
Oh, my!
Munna, run!
Oye, move aside. Move aside.
Give way.
He is the check-post guard, Balu, sir.
Balu!
That old graveyard out there?
We saw it there, Rona sir.
It was a frightening sight, sir.
Its face painted and was looking like a demon.
-Like this? -Yes. Like that.
-It was like that. -It’s okay.
What was the demon doing?
It was dancing around the fire, sir.
It tried to dip its hand into the fire
and it even screamed something.
Sir, they killed another check post guard, sir.
His body is hanging at the junction from Kamarottu to Perla, sir.
Panna, what happened?
One minute. I will be back.
Rona sir! Rona sir!
-Why did you bring me here? -Wait. I will tell you.
Rona sir!
Will you tell the matter only to Rona sir?
Or do you plan to tell me too?
It’s not that, Sanju.
Before we saw the demon,
I saw the area constable Mr Tawde there.
-Rona sir! -So?
The killer,
after so many murders including the inspector is not caught yet.
So, he is definitely targeting the department-
Rona sir!
You could have told Rona sir this in the station itself.
The constable was right next to him.
That’s why I couldn’t tell him.
I don’t think he is here.
Rona sir!
Panna!
Rona sir!
Sanju, what is all this?
Vatsalya Sai?
This name…
Uh…
the recent dead body was hers.
Only the articles on the missing children are here.
How did he get our photos?
Why are our photographs along with the pictures of the dead children?
‘Gara Gara Gaggara Jabra Pyra Nalkuri Netthara Parba’
‘Gara Gara Gaggara Jabra Pyra Nalkuri Netthara Parba’[
Sanju,
the new inspector took charge the very next day after the old inspector died.
His behaviour, his talk,
his insistence on staying in the Kamarottu house-
Doesn’t it all look strange?
When I saw the demon last night,
it was screaming and jumping with its hand in fire.
Today I saw the inspector wearing a bandage on his hand.
He is a policeman, right?
Did you even see him in uniform?
Why would a police sport a beard?
How can we be sure he is a policeman?
‘Gara Gara Gaggara Jabra
Pyra Nalkuri Netthara Parba’
Brother, please come.
The old man is inside.
Ask him what you want.
Old man! This is brother Sanju.
He is the owner’s son.
Come here, son.
He wants to know about Deivu’s son.
Deivu’s son?
28 years ago,
there was one Nittoni in this village.
He was taking care of the Kamarottu graveyard.
His wife was Gurvi.
His mother was Deivvu.
He had two sons, Madhav and Raghav.
He also had a baby girl.
They were his world.
One day, one Janakiram came to the village as the HeadMaster.
Nittoni!
He called the illiterate Nittoni and asked him to send his sons to school.
Send them to school from tomorrow.
My kids to that school-
I will take care of that.
Your sons should attend school from tomorrow.
Three ones are three.
Two threes are six.
Three threes are nine.
Mom, we don’t want to go to school.
The children of the rich are troubling us.
Don’t be afraid, dear.
There is a new master in school.
Everything will be fine. Okay?
He is repeating the same thing.
I walked up to him and slapped him hard.
What is it? Get lost.
Three.
Dad, don’t you even know how to write?
I don’t know, son.
I never went to school.
I will teach you.
Hey, dog!
How dare you drink from the well!
-Brother, brother! -How dare you touch me?
-Brother, brother, please don’t. -How arrogant!
Hey! What are you doing?
Nothing, sir. We were drinking water…water.
Because of the bad company he was keeping,
Sanju went to the graveyard one day
and stole the jewellery from god there.
But by mistake, the village head blamed Nittoni for the theft
and levelled unfair allegations against him.
Mom!
Dad!
Don’t leave them. Beat them to pulp.
-Dad! -Stop!
Dad!
-Dad! -How dare you betray us!
They shouldn’t stay in the village.
Torch the house.
They shouldn’t live in the village.
Burn down their hut.
Hey, they are coming. They are coming.
What is it?
I heard your dad is a thief.
Hey, shut up!
How dare you talk back to me?
You have become bold enough to back answer me? -Brother, please.
-Hey! Go, man! -Hey, get lost!
Go, go, go!
Go quickly.
Go!
Catch him!
Hey, hey! Don’t spare him. Catch him.
Hey, Madhav!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey, stop!
Hey, stop!
Hey, the dog is found.
Hey, stop! Hey!
Look around the well!
Loser!
Sister!
The baby fell into the well.
Run!
The little girl was dead.
Not able to bear the humiliation,
-Nittoni’s family committed suicide. -Sister!
A parchment was found near their dead bodies.
‘The family responsible for the destruction of our family will become heirless.’
‘Gara Gara Gara Gaggara Jarba
Pyra Nalkori Netthara Parba’
Unload.
It looks like it is going to rain.
Go, close the gate.
Brother, someone has already locked the gate.
What?
‘Bang, bang, bang…
the sky just sang the dead man’s anthem.’
‘A savage heart, the lord of the dark
The Phantom’
‘Raging fire’
Brother, tell me what the matter is.
My men are always around here.
You will land in trouble.
You are very intelligent.
What you said is true.
I smuggle bags across the border to and fro.
I arrange people before the check post
and make them carry bags across the hill.
I have confessed to my crime.
Please, come, brother. Let’s go to the station.
I have told you everything.
Please, stop, brother.
Brother, I made my men act as demons only to keep the people off this track.
But I didn’t kill the kids, brother.
That is the work of the fierce demon.
All these days, you did the killings and blamed it on the fierce demon.
Today the fierce demon will kill you.
Hey!
Isn’t this Moosa Kane?
Sir, this is the doing of the fierce demon.
Why did the demon leave the kids and kill this guy?
This is no ghost, Mr Prajapathi.
This is the fierce demon.

We kept all the drama equipment inside, sir.
-Okay. Go home now all of you. -You are doing so well.
Hail to Rama!
All the devotees sing your praise-
Inspector!
Are you playing drama, master?
It’s our school annual day coming week.
I am making the kids practise for the play on Ramayan-
Why did you kill Moosa Kane?
-Me? -Hmm.
I didn’t kill anyone.
You didn’t?
-Honestly? -Honestly.
The things is PET Master,
Moosa Kane’s unbilled goods reach your school godown.
I think there is some link between you and him.
-Tell me about it, master. -No.
-Seriously? -No. I didn’t commit any murder.
This school and the area around it belong to Mr Janardhan Gambhir.
I know nothing beyond school administration.
It was a mistake. Huh!
Hey, Mr Prajapathi!
He says he didn’t do it. Huh?
Why are we wasting time coming here for no reason-
I have an idea, sir.
Do you think?
Yes, sir.
Tell me.
We are suspecting only the villagers.
What if the culprit is an outsider?
Brother Sanjeev, I didn’t tell you something.
Moosa Kane who died is a distant relative of mine.
He looked exactly like me.
Huh?
Who dumped all the clothes here?
Rona sir, we know everything.
We saw you dance dressed like a ghost.
Why are you beating Sanju?
Only when you dress up like the criminal,
would you see the face behind the disguise.
Perspective of a criminal life.
What should I call you? Hmm?
I can’t call you Sanju because Sanju is dead.
How should I address you, sir?
Sir!
What are you saying?
Sanjeev Gambhir.
Now ask him who he is.
I am not Sanju.
Sanju and I were roommates.
He always spoke about this village and his mother.
He came to know his mother contracted cancer and won’t survive long.
In spite of his anger towards his dad,
he wanted to see his mom one last time.
So, he sent a telegram and started.
He died in an accident on the way.
He couldn’t see his mother.
But I wanted his mother to feel the pleasure of seeing her son.
That’s why I came here as Sanju.
Please forgive me.
I made a big mistake.
I wanted to tell you everything.
But I didn’t get a chance.
I am not your son, Sanju.
My name is-
You are my son, Sanju.
I haven’t stitched the buttons yet.
Wear something else today.
Sanju!
Hey, Pakru!
This rickety car will not do better no matter how much you repair.
Where is Panna?
Brother Munna is inside.
Who cares where Munna is?
I asked you about Panna.
Hey, driver!
I need to go out-
Hi!
This is brother Rakesh.
Sister Panna’s fiance.
This is brother Sanju.
Pakru has told me a lot about you.
-Not everything. Only some. -Where did you keep the biscuits?
They are on the table, mom.
She made only one.
-She didn’t know you were coming. -He didn’t know you were coming.
Please, have it.
She made it for you.
There is only one tea. Why bicker about it?
Either of you finish it off.
Rakesh! Panna!
Sanju! Come.
Sanju!
It dropped. It slipped.
Hey, congratulations.
You make a nice pair.
Sanju, I really didn’t know they were coming today.
If not today, tomorrow…
Sanju, my parents decided this when Rakesh and I were still kids.
I will convince him.
Not necessary.
Sanju, I am really sorry.
-I will talk to my parents and- -Don’t apologize.
Sanju! Sanju! Please, Sanju.
I am not Sanju.
You should have show the horoscope earlier, Vishwanatha.
If we miss today,
there is no auspicious date for six months in their horoscope.
What shall we do, brother?
PET master!
What happened?
His cycle tyre had a puncture and he was stranded on the road, sir.
I wanted to drop him at school but passing by your house,
I wanted to say hello.
Inspector, what do you want?
To hunt a tiger, you have to tie a goat to a tree as bait, Mr Gambhir.
But is it right to go to relieve yourself once it is tied up?
Correct?
What will happen?
The tiger will eat up the goat, sir.
The boy who is going to marry my daughter.
Let me come to the point.
I tied a goat called Moosa Kane to a tree
and been waiting for the tiger.
By the time I finished my business,
the goat was dead, Pakru.
You are right, master.
The warehouse behind your school belongs to Mr Gambhir.
But it is run by Moosa Kane and his partner.
Both of them together killed the inspector who stood in their way
and then the guards who provided information at the check post.
Do you know the tiger that killed our goat, Moosa Kane, in case he spills the beans,
Master, hmm?
His own partner.
He didn’t stop there.
He came yesterday and tried to kill me.
How dare he do that?
Why are you telling us all this?
I can’t tell your neighbour, Mr Gambhir.
The killer is…
one among you.
I found a one rupee note in my previous inspector’s wallet.
He was in the habit of noting down all puzzles.
He wrote only 183 on this.
I just came to know it is Moosa Kane’s jeep number.
But he wrote ‘north’ beside number one.
I looked in the north direction and broke my head over what north could mean.
Then I realised it wasn’t north.
But Nath.
Ek… nath.
How audacious you are! Huh?
Brother, please.
How could you raise such allegations against my brother?
Brother! Brother!
Run again and the bullet will get lodged in a place that forget about standing,
you won’t be able to even squat. Mr Ekanath!
What is happening, Ekanatha?
This is Nittoni’s curse.
Aren’t we both responsible for the death of Nittoni’s family, Vishwanath?
Temple jewellery was stolen.
It was Vishwanath who told me Nittoni had stolen them.
Without proper investigation,
I declared Nittoni as the thief in front of the village.
By the time we discovered it was Sanju who was the real culprit,
Nittoni’s family couldn’t take the humiliation and committed suicide.
It is Nittoni’s spirit taking its revenge against all of us.
Yes!
Sir, how did you find out he was the killer?
I never said he was the killer, Mr Prajapathi.
Did I simply shake a leg with Gadang Rakkamma?
Do you mean to say he didn’t kill the kids?
We will find an answer for it.
Actually, Madam Panna will give us the answer for this.
Am I right, Madam Panna?
Hello, Rona sir.
If you have come this far, it must be to ask something.
Tell me or ask me.
Actually, Rona sir!
You hung many photographs in the room upstairs at the Kamarottu house.
I saw many letters as well.
What are all those?
Those were the letters found on the children’s bodies.
Written by the killer.
When Nittoni’s family committed suicide 28 years ago,
Whatever was written in their suicide notes,
the same is written here.
‘Gara Gara Gara Gaggara Jarba
Pyr Nalkuri Netthara Parba’
Who is this Nittoni?
Mr Gambhir was also talking about him.
An old case from 28 years ago, sir.
The whole village is aware.
Do you think there’s a link between Nittoni suicide
and the murder of these kids?
How is someone who committed suicide 28 years ago
connected to those who are killed now?
Nittoni wrote in his suicide note
that his perpetrators will be destroyed.
How do you know this?
The old man who lives in the hut told us.
There is a connection between the parents of the victims and Nittoni.
When Phantom dies, his son becomes the next Phantom.
That’s why people think Phantom is a ghost.
Mr Tawde!
Sir, this is the only file left.
Five people died from Nittoni’s family.
But bodies found that day were four.
Nittoni, his wife, Kuruvi,
their baby girl and the younger son, Raghav.
Mr Prajapathi! What is his eldest son’s name?
-Sir, his name was- -Madhav!
Madhav…
His body was not found.
Sir, school records from 28 years ago, sir.
Move away.
Move faster.
Come a bit closer, child.
You will come out after this, won’t you?
I will teach you a lesson.
The fathers of the dead kids were in the same class 28 years ago.
Another boy who studied in the same class…
is Nittoni’s son.
Madhav.
-The auspicious hour is passing. -I know. Did you call them?
They are here.
That is the Kamarottu guest house, brother.
It is good that we fixed the engagement today as per their horoscope.
Otherwise, we would have to wait for six more months.
As per our tradition,
it is enough if the elders sit and decide.
The girl is not needed.
Leave it now.
I wanted to see you.
I saw you.
I will be alive till Panna’s wedding.
I have only one desire before I die.
Mom, if you keep saying you will die,
when I go this time, I won’t come back.
No, no. Don’t say that.
Come here. Sit down.
My brother’s daughter, Reema.
A fine looking girl.
You will like her when you see her.
If you two get married,
the family will be reunited.
After that, I don’t mind dying.
Will you marry her?
Panna,
Madhav is killing the kids of those who caused his family’s death.
All are the kids of his classmates.
Is it we next?
Nothing of that sort will happen. Don’t worry.
Uncle Janardhan said it the other day.
That they were responsible for the deaths of Nittoni and his family.
So, next it’s me, you...
and Sanju, right?
‘Sleep on… sleep on… sleep on’
Who is it?
Who are you?
‘Sleep on… sleep on… sleep on’
Pannu, wait! I will come along.
I am scared.
Oh! Pakru!
Why did you come at this hour?
I met him on the way.
He asked me to show your house.
Now it is between you both.
Who is it?
Oh, inspector!
Why are you here?
Master, you sent us your school’s old records through our constable Mr Tawde.
Yes.
As per the 28 year old records,
there was one Head Master named Janakiram.
-Where is he? -I heard he is in Pune.
But I don’t know exactly. Why, inspector?
I am looking for a boy who was his student, master.
Madhav.
Oh!
This cat has become a daily nuisance.
I made fish curry today.
-That Pakru… -I asked about Janakiram.
I jotted down Mr Janakiram’s phone number somewhere.
It may be inside. Shall I check and tell you?
Okay. I will also get you nice tea.
Papa, I caught the fire flies with great difficulty.
But I don’t have a single one in my hand now.
All have escaped.
Papa, what are you thinking so seriously?
I am not able to find the answer to a question, Guddi.
My friend, Bhaskar, says
when you don’t know the answer to a question in exam,
we should write the names of gods like Rama, Krishna and Shiva.
When you do that,
teacher will be worried god will get angry and allot marks.
Lawrence Pinto…
He has the tattoo of Mahalingeshwara on his chest.
When Phantom dies, his son becomes the next Phantom.
Lawrence Pinto is Nittoni’s eldest son, Madhav.
Brother, what was that sound?
Brother, please don’t go there. It is quick sand over there.
If you slip, you will be pulled inside.
-Another way? -There is no way, brother.
When you go this way, you will come across a river.
When you cross the river, you get to the graveyard.
That was closed 28 years ago.
Take me.
No one goes there, brother.
Yes, brother. This is the graveyard.
Show me.
‘Sleep on… sleep on… sleep on’
Brother, that is the graveyard.
Brother, I will take care of the boat here.
You come back soon.
Papa, I am scared.
Oh my god!
They made everyone die!
You left this boy all alone!
What will I do?
They have killed my family for no reason.
How will I live?
Vicky!
Vicky?
Vicky!
‘Just like yesterday, I am still with you’
‘As the finger tip wiping your tears’
‘I follow your every step’
‘Like the shadow that follows your footsteps’
‘I am your breath of life’
‘I will never leave you’
‘I am in the beat of your heart’
‘Your dear friend from the sky, the moon’
‘I stand your guard across times’
If you don’t go to Kamarottu, will the wedding stop?
Must you go?
Vicky, it’s just a week.
We will be back in the blink of an eye.
Papa, please, papa. Let us go back.
She is in coma.
Guddi?
Papa, don’t go ahead.
Papa, please, papa. Listen to me.
Mr Inspector!
Have you found out your daughter’s killer?
But what is the point?
You couldn’t save your daughter.
You should never wrong in life.
When you do, you have to face the punishment.
What was my little sister’s fault?
What was the fault of my parents?
They framed us for the theft done by Janardhan Gambhir’s son, Sanju,
and ruined our family. That was wrong.
When our classmates were beating us, abusing us, and harassing us…
you looked on with indifference.
That was wrong.
When I lost my tooth, you were there too.
Beg me as much as you want, but I am not going to kill you.
Grieving your dead children, you must die every day.
-Kashinath! -Present, sir.
-Umesh Parulkar! -Present, sir.
-Vikrant Rona! -Present, sir.
Hey, Madhav!
‘Danga Danga Danga Danga, come!’
‘To avenge Nittoni lineage, come!’
‘Danga Danga Danga Danga, come!’
‘Avenge! Aggrieve!
Show no mercy, Madhav!’
‘Danga Danga Danga Danga, come!’
Hey!
Have you come?
‘Those who cruelly killed my parents, my baby sister
‘Danga Danga Danga Danga, come’
Sister!
Sanju, it was you who stole the jewellery, wasn’t it?
‘Those who cruelly killed my parents and my baby sister…’
You didn’t mention your brother?
Raghav?
‘Continue the massacre’
‘Annihilate the enemy’
‘Join me in war’
‘Arrive, Raghav!’
‘Gara Gara Gara Gaggara Jarba Pira Nalkuri Netthara Parba’
‘I am an aggressive elephant’
‘I am a snake that doesn’t forget its grudge’
‘Death gets scared Seeing me, it shivers’
‘A heart filled with rage in the form of a savage demon’
‘Danga Danga Danga Danga, come!’
Papa, come along with us to Kamarottu, please.
If I go with you,
who’s going to catch the bad men, Guddi?
When you are not with me,
and the evil people harm me, what will you do, huh?
What will you do?
Forgive me, Guddi, for not going with you.
But Papa won’t spare the man who killed you, Guddi.
He won’t.
When she sees these two, their sister will spit on their faces.
Sparing the culprit, they killed innocent kids.
Impotent scoundrels!
Papa!
Papa, check where I am!
Look properly, Papa!
Papa!
Brother, please save me, brother.
Brother, brother!
Hey!
Don’t spare them!
Brother! Brother!
Kill him! Kill him!
Don’t spare him.
28 years ago,
everyone thought it was Raghav’s body found in the well.
But it was Sanju’s body.
The man I was deeply in love with and wanted to share my life with,
came to kill me.
The man I misunderstood to be a demon,
saved my life.
Vikrant Rona…
Thank you, Rona sir.
Inspector!
Mr Inspector, when you go back to Bombay,
can you call Sanju and find out when he will come back from London?
Look at him!
He simply left without telling me a word.
Don’t you know smoking is injurious to health?
