Eat the noodles I've cooked for you.
Give me the ironed clothes as soon as you can.
Almost done, madam.
Why do you always change sides? When we walk past this place, mom?
Shhhh... just keep quiet and walk fast. Don't even look that way.
Don't see! Come.
Rekha, you have to wake up at 5:00 A.M tomorrow.
- Okay mom. Good night. - Good night.
Rekha.
Mom?
Mom... come in.
Come in.
Mom.
What happened?
Tell me.
Tell me. What happened?
I dreamt that someone dragged me to the ground opposite and killed me.
I told you not to go there. Did you pay heed to my warning?
I told you not to retrieve your half-sari that fell there.
As long as that piece of material is here we will have trouble.
- Where is that half sari? - I'll also come with you.
Shut up. Just stay put here.
- Give it to me. - Where is the bat?
Hey! Catch!
Are you mad, nitwit?
Are you wondering? Why I am disturbing your game?
I've also come to play.
- It's a wager. - It's not the usual 10 overs match.
Only 3 balls... must hit 2 sixers.
If you bet 2000 and win, you get Rs. 4000. If 5000 then Rs. 10000.
Coming to play? 3 balls 2 sixers.
Dude, we can get Rs. 4000.
- We owe that money to our grocery shop. - Yes.
- Dad won't feed us, if we lose. - As if he's feeding us now!
Rs. 2000.
Hold the bat.
- Bowl. - Catch.
You'll hit 2 sixers in 3 balls!
Your eye's gone for a toss with my 1st ball!
Who's next?
- How much is your bet? - Rs. 5000.
- Where did you get this money from? - You!!
Lost my bet? Serves me right for gambling with someone else's money!
No one else wants to bet?
- No one else. - No.
- Shall we move on to the next ground? - Okay.
What are you gaping at? Collect the cash.
Hey!
Hey guys! Why are you all standing here bruised so pathetically?
2 sixers in 3 balls, 2000 will become 4000.
5000 will become 10000 if you win the wager.
Sounds like a good game plan.
If I win, I get double the money.
If I bet Rs. 20000... then?
Tell me... how much?
Rs. 40,000.
Rs. 40,000. I will win the bet.
- Come... let's bet. - Out with the money.
Are you trying to fool these youngsters?
It's a deal.
Only 2 more balls.
Hip hip.
- Next will also be a sixer. - Let's see.
Hit a sixer please.
Hurray.
Go... go. Take the cash flow.
Okay. Okay.
Take your hands off!
I was surprised there was no hitch.
Time for action huh?
Try hitting me?
- You think I can't? - You will hit me?
I'm talking to you.
Give me that stump.
Wondering why I am drawing a circle?
Even in 'sock and knock' there should be a 'kick'!
If the one who comes in here to fight hits me and I step out, you are the winner.
If you step out of the circle when I hit you, you are the loser.
I am ready for this game. Anyone can volunteer.
I am sure you won't come. You will assign someone. Go ahead.
Just as I thought!
Those 2 are amateurs, I am a thorough professional!
Oh! You are a skilled expert, huh?
- Show me your skill. - Just watch.
Maybe I was too hasty to show off my skill?
He's even twirling it through his legs!
On top of it he's doing a jig.
What a pace!
My dear stunt brother!!
Brother.
Hold on.
He's swinging it like a plough.
Don't try your luck.
- Let me rest for a while. - My leg!
Go as a trio.
I'll go.
Why are you pushing me when you should be targeting him?
No one need volunteer. I'll go myself.
Excuse me.
If you had done this earlier we wouldn't be smashed this way?
Hey. Come inside.
Don't be hasty to lose the game.
It's just a game. Doesn't matter.
Stop looking at me. One more chance.
Is this the way to treat a helping hand?
Only a dog has gratitude. You are a man, after all.
Out.
Let me hit a sixer.
Brother.
Stop.
How can you dance without me?
Have I ever left you out?
You've come late.
Move aside... let him dance.
- What are you intending to do? - Lift him.
Take a few steps back. He'll get up by himself.
Brother.
Show the world you have confidence. Limbs or no limbs is not the criteria.
If you complain of pain your life will have no gain.
Set aside your pain... drink this water.
Show them your will power.
All the best.

6:00.
Oh my God!!!!
You fight with true guts dance with such style.
Why do you get the shivers as soon as it is 6:00 P.M?
That's different, this is different.
What do you mean?
- Aren't you ashamed? - No.
I'll let you in on a secret. Promise to keep it to yourself.
Go on.
Even now if I need to go to the restroom at night, I call my mom to stand guard.
Even at this age?
What does it matter if 6 or 60 years. Ghost is a ghost.
Slap is a slap. Blood is blood.
Spit all you want in disgust.
I feel like doing the same when I look at myself in the mirror.
- You know the reason? - What?
Every morning I vow to be a brave heart. Evening... my body shakes and shivers.
There is no such thing as ghost.
How can you deny that?
Our girls, when they walk on the road...
...to cover their body...
- ...they will pull the sari-- - Stop it. Come to the point.
They cover their body.
On Thursday, at the mosque you can see ladies possessed by spirits...
...they'll dance in a frenzy.
Do they wish to reveal their bodies?
Ghosts exist.
We shouldn't discuss this often.
They may fall in love and follow us.
Really?
We've been asking you to tell us a story. Past 3 days you've been escaping.
Uncle, come and sit. Tell us a story.
- Okay... I will. - Sit here and tell us the story.
- Story? - Yes.
- What story? - Ghost story.
- You want to listen to a ghost story? - Yes.
I can tell you one very bravely. Being kids won't you get scared?
First tell us the story. Then we'll decide who gets scared.
I see. Alright. Okay.
Once upon a time in a village--
Raghava. What are you doing?
Telling a story, mom.
What story?
Ghost story.
Horror story.
He's scared of ghosts, but he always talks about ghosts and watch only horror films.
In a village--
Then he'll give me a sleepless night troubling me... absolutely terrified.
Why don't you tell?
I don't know any ghost stories.
Don't be silly!
I asked you to tell him not to discuss spirits and supernatural stuff.
- Raghava! - I am not scared, bro.
I am bravely telling a story to your kids.
He is courageous. You are making him a coward.
He's with the kids. He'll be fine.
Now he'll be brave. Just wait for 2 more minutes.
He'll be right here on my waist!
In one village--
How many villages. Come straight to the ghost.
Don't be in such a tearing hurry, fatso.
Ghost will come in its own pace, wait.
If you are scared, come closer. Kids usually will get frightened.
There's a huge bungalow in that village.
Move. Move.
Since you both are sitting alone...
...I thought you will get scared, hence I came and sat in between. Come close.
Don't worry... I am there.
If you need to drink water or use the restroom let me know...
...don't leave me alone and go.
Where did I stop?
In one village--
It's just a village. Why do you give sound effects?
Okay. Sorry.
In that village is a house.
House?
Just a house. Don't act over smart.
In that house there was a wind.. Swirling twirling wind!
Wasn't the gust of wind accompanied by rain?
No, it's summer. Don't add extra fitting.
I'll chew your ears to bits even if you are my elder brother's kids.
- What are you up to? - I am coming, mom.
Don't confuse me further. I am starving--
Wait... you are hopeless at this... listen to us.
Don't give me background score. Just the story will do.
Only then it will be thrilling.
You may find it thrilling. My heart may stop beating!
Let it stop. Your ghost has 2 legs and 2 hands.
My spirit has 10!!!
Even a 2 legged ghost makes me pee! Imagine 10!
Wait, I'll continue.
What you said was just reel Mine is REAL life!
Mine has been scorched by fire.
I am petrified of ghosts in any form. Imagine a burnt one!
This ghost has hair falling all over... Eyes popping out of their sockets.
Very scary.
What?
Tongue.
- What? - Tongue.
Tongue... how many times to tell you?
Tongue?
With its long tongue it will spill blood all over you.
Mother!
He has started again! Same old story.
Get lost, you fatso!
He'll come charging now in fright.
- Those 2 kids are scaring me, mom. - Come and sit here.
Do you think this is fair?
- What, mother? - Son.
You keep repeating this act of yours shaping my waist into a chair!
Am I telling you a story?
You are happily perched on my waist in such a relaxed manner?
Get down, dear.
- I won't get down. - Please get down. I said get down.
My waist!
I'll get back at you both in the morning.
He's coming close to me.
I'm scared... let me sit on your lap.
I can hear a dog bark.
Dogs will bark.
But this dog is barking like a ghost.
- Mother. - Raghava.
Mother.
I can't.
- Then go relieve yourself. - Not that!
- Ages since I slept well at night. - Me too, mom.
Fatso, eat with your right hand.
- Okay. - Hello, Priya.
You are free for a week, Priya? You are coming here tomorrow?
My younger sister is coming here tomorrow.
Background music?
Eat your dinner.
Your sister is here tomorrow?
Sit down.
Is she the same... hair oiled and braided like when I saw her at your wedding?
No, no, no.
She's very busy modeling and studying. She has become a famous model.
She's taller than you.
That's okay, I'll use a stool.
- She has more style than you. - I can manage.
She's fairer than you.
I'll use powder.
Sister-in-law, talking about anything you want, don't talk about my complexion.
Yeah... talk eloquently here.
But when my kids tell you a story perch yourself on mom's waist!
Shut up and eat.
I don't want to eat. Let's go, mom.
No problem, if you don't eat. I can adjust.
There's no limit to your bickering.
Right from my childhood you fed me ghost stories to make me eat and sleep.
Now you blame me.
If you need to use the restroom go right now.
Don't wake me up in the middle of the night.
Okay.
- Come. - Where to?
You don't know where?
I don't need to. You go on.
- What? - What do you mean 'what?'
Whether you need to relieve yourself or I do you have to come into the restroom.
What will people think? Aren't you ashamed of this habit?
No one will see us here, now. Even if they do, I am least bothered.
Your oratorical skills are commendable!
- Go inside. - Come with me.
- Stand there... you know I am scared. - Go.
- Mother. - Yes.
Sing a song.
"I will come to you."
- If you try to scare me. - What you want me to do?
Why do you sing a song from a ghost film? Why can't you sing about a God or Goddess?
I will sing.
"Goddess Kannatta. Goddess Mariatta."
"Please be with us."
Turn away.
- "Dear Goddess." - "Goddess."
"Be with us."
- "Spread Your glory to this world." - "Spread Your glory."
- "Goddess, spread Your glory." - "Spread Your glory."
Zip yourself.
Look at my fate! All that should be scattered outside our front doorstep...
...you are bringing into this room.
You were the one who taught me all this when I was a kid.
Did I ask you to continue doing the same when you are as old as a buffalo!
Spirit can enter into the young and old!
No one can reform you.
- No spirit can cross this. - Oh my God.
Despite all this if it does. Lord Hanuman, help me!
Oh God! Save me from all spirits, ghosts, demons, devils, vampires.
- Mother. - What?
Mom, if you wake me up at 5 A.M. I can pick up Priya.
I'll slipper you black and blue. Our driver will bring her home.
- He is standing here? - I was told she will be arriving at 5:30.
What are you standing at the door step from early morning... and waiting for?
My friends said they'd come.
When have they come in search of you? You only visit them.
I get it! Now I know why the mouse is on the run in its birthday suit!
When has a mouse ever got dressed?
If I recite a proverb you should appreciate.
Not analyze its authenticity.
- He has said so. - Who has said so?
My idol Kamal Hassan... who else?
No limit to your mischievous streak!
Where is she?
Priya is here. Come soon, mom.
She shouldn't know I was waiting for her.
Let me make a casual entry when she's talking to them.
Hurry up.
What's this baby up to?
- Hey. Priya. - Sister.
- How are you? - Am doing good.
- Bless me, aunty. - You are just like your sister.
- Bless me. - Don't get emotional.
Aunty!
- Hi, Aunty. - Hi, kids.
How are you?
This is his casual entry!
- Hi. - Hi.
Such a sudden unannounced visit.
Look at that! As if he didn't know she was coming!
I was just on my way out I see her all of a sudden before me.
Who was the one who kept an alarm at 5:30 A.M?
How are you?
You? You are simply awesome.
I enquired about you.
Me? I am fine.
You have a cool dress sense.
Continue to dress up like this.
- You have a wonderful dressing sense. - Thanks.
Brother.
Is this the way to dress when you are landing here?
My dear sister... it is because it is your house I'm so decently dressed!
I'm never dressed prim and proper usually.
I love this 'prim and proper' image!
Why won't you?!!
Why? What's wrong with this attire? When will she wear this, if not now?
Exactly.
I was never given an opportunity to dress this way.
My husband never allowed me to dress like this.
You in a modern dress?
- Raghava. - Mother.
Just think for a moment how I'd look!
"New garden. Fresh fragrance."
Vatsala!
- How did I look? - Like a terror.
- Means? - Terrific.
Don't compliment me too much. I feel so shy!
Did you also dress this way before you got married to my brother?
Don't you like me being accepted and loved in this family?!
I like her prim and proper look.
- Go, freshen up. - Come.
Kids... go along with her.
- She is going. - In the evening--
- Sister-in-law, come here. - What?
I'm going now to play cricket.
On my way back I can buy what Priya likes if you can tell me her preference.
I have been in this house for so many years.
Did it ever occur to you to get me a gift?
- How can you both be same? - Why?
- You are my sister-in-law. - And Priya?
She is my dream girl.
- What? - Just a simple remark.
She doesn't like gifts. She likes the beach.
Not possible. I can't buy her that!
You go play cricket now. Take her to the beach tomorrow.
Okay. Beach.
I'll make her fall for me hook line and sinker!
Come, buddy.
Why are you all standing here?
Apparently a building is coming up there. We can't play cricket anymore
- Can't play? - Yes.
How can you call me for a match and then let me not play?
If I take the bat in hand, I must play.
Isn't there any other ground nearby?
Next to my friend's house there's a huge empty ground.
It even has a compound wall we can clean it up and play there.
Okay.
- How much longer? - We are almost there.
I thought I would have to give up playing today... this is ideal.
Can't get a better place to hit sixers.
- Here. Hold this. - Give it.
Hit it hard.
Hit hard.
It's not going in.
Wait.
Hit it hard.
- You take it from him. - Hold this.
Give it a good knock.
Wonder what's obstructing it?
One hard blow.
- Superb. - Good.
Come on.
Let's start the game.
There's a sudden gust of wind.
Why is the sky darkening suddenly?
Such a fierce wind... supernatural.
What? Spirit?
Do we have to play in this atmosphere?
Let's go.
- My stump. - Come fast!
Come fast!
Start the bike. Why did you all abandon me?
We went to play cricket. Wind started billowing... blowing.
I like this prim look!
Where is this stink coming from?
- Kamakshi! - Coming, dear.
What is it?
What's this bad smell?
Such a terrible stink!
You just repeated what I said.
I am not the reason for it. Don't lose your temper on me.
Please come. Don't get angry. Eat at first... I'll attend to it.
- Raghava, come fast. - Coming, sister-in-law.
Coming.
- What's this bad smell from your bag? - What?
- My cricket bat? Bad smell? - Yes.
Everybody is loony in this house.
Awwww... awful.
I took this to the new ground to play.
- Dear. - Go soon, he'll get angry.
Do you want chutney?
I came away bravely without my mom!
Mother!
- Sorry. - No problem.
- Please come, mom! - I'm coming.
Why do you keep calling me?
I want to clean my bag and the stumps.
I have to stand guard meanwhile, right?
- Go. - Okay. Thanks, mother.
Go.
Why is this red in color? Maybe it is the red sand?
Look at this now.
Take it away.
My younger fellow is a pain.
- Sister-in-law. - Yes.
Check now if it stinks?
Don't you have a nose of your own? Can't you smell?!
- Raghava. - Brother.
Don't keep your play stuff inside. Keep that bag in the waste room.
- Okay, brother. - Keep them in the waste-room.
Go.
What, mom?
Are you and your husband arguing with each other?
No... why? I heard someone crying.
Not at all. We were fast asleep.
Okay... go sleep.
- Why did you ask that? - Nothing... you go sleep.
Who is crying over there?
They say whatever a terrified soul sets eyes on seems like a spirit.
I got scared of my own shadow. All this is imagination!!
Spirit or ghost... nonsense!
Not in our village.
I am also a ghost.
Subbu.
Subbalakshmi?
Subbu.
Subbu. Subbu.
Subbu. Subbu!
Why are you standing out here this time of the night?
I was sleeping inside.
I heard a huge wail.
I came out to check. I don't know what happened after that.
You silly woman. Even I heard that wail.
Dogs and cats also wail like humans.
Why get pole axed like this?
Close the door and go back to sleep.
Was it a dog or cat's wail I heard?
Then what? Did you think it was a spirit?
No spirit can terrify me. They will run a furlong seeing me.
I was worried about you. I followed you to make sure you are fine.
You got terrified of me like a small kid and fell flat on the ground this way.
I'll kick you where it hurts most. Give me your hand... lift me up.
Get up.
I will help you.
That's my feet not hands.
- Hold my hands. - Get up.
Why did you scream like that?
All because of that ass of a cook! Look at her clinging to the tree.
She claims she saw a ghost.
Ghost!!!
Ghost!!! Mother!
Stop yelling... my son will come running now.
He is coming.
Did you get scared?
- I heard someone shout 'ghost'. - I did.
I can't bear you weight Will you get down?
Sorry, I thought it was mom!
That's why I sat on the ground. Put your foot down.
Why don't you try our cook's waist?!!
Where is she? Catch her.
Aunty, catch.
Catch.
- What an eyeful she is! - Catch. Come on, throw.
Maybe I should hug her now. No... let me not ruin my chances.
What are you gawking at me for?
I like your prim and proper look!
- Kiddos come here - What, uncle?
Your mom wants you in for breakfast.
We get what you are up to.
Figured it out!
Do you dress this way even to play with these kids?
I am a model... whatever I do will be modern in trend.
I am a commoner... I'll do what a common man will do.
Shut up.
Shut up?
Don't use your Hindi vocabulary on me, I don't like it.
- Why? - I don't know Hindi.
Such a beautiful laugh. Shall I profess my love for her now?
No... let me take it at a leisurely pace.
You look beautiful when you laugh.
More so when you cover your face and laugh.
- Also if you show me your back! - Enough praise!
Sister-in-law!
- Raghava, come. - Coming.
What's up?
Can you or can't you?
- What can I or can't I do? - Can you or can't you?
Be specific.
- Sister-in-law! - What happened?
Your sister--
My sister?
Your sister--
Tell me.
I love your sister. You should help me win her over.
How dare you! Are you asking me for permission?
Why don't you just profess your love and carry her off her feet?
You are the best sister-in-law ever.
What's this bonding between my son and his sister-in-law?
You are his advisor for his love to materialize?
What's wrong with my brother-in-law? My sister should consider herself blessed.
You are right.
Nothing wrong except their complexion don't match.
- Are you my mom? - You are asking me this question?
Wasn't your husband as dark skinned as me?
- Didn't you bear me in this same uterus? - Don't hassle her
Sister-in-law! I hate this complexion discrimination.
Alright.
How do you know she reciprocates your love?
Why do you think she is here now to spend her vacation?
I know... by the way she looks and smiles. She doesn't want to say it.
- I have an awesome idea for this. - What's your idea?
Let's go out together.
If she sees me dancing with other girls...
...she herself will confess her love.
- Good idea. Let's all go out. - Okay.
I can't dance like you.
It's okay, I can adjust.
Raghava, can I?
- You-- - Why?
"Listen to me, everybody!"
"Pickle me dry pickle me spicy with tamarind and goose berry."
"Oh beautiful lassie so fair. Golden cheeks shine like pear."
"Your pouting lips got me floored. But your words are like bitter gourd."
"Grilled egg plant takes me high. Drum stick makes my desires fly."
"Goatee shortie... open the door."
"I won't, you'll gobble me, wild tiger."
"Goatee shortie... open the door."
"I won't, you'll gobble me, wild tiger."
"Pickle me dry pickle me spicy with tamarind and goose berry."
"Oh beautiful lassie so fair. Golden cheeks shine like pear."
"Your pouting lips got me floored. But your words are like bitter gourd."
"Grilled egg plant takes me high. Drum stick makes my desires fly."
"Goatee shortie... open the door."
"I won't, you'll gobble me, wild tiger."
"Goatee shortie... open the door."
"I won't, you'll gobble me, wild tiger."
"Ganpat Kashiram--"
"Life is like a snake pit. Don't look too deep into it."
"Just twice will do. Then it is simply much ado."
"Grab the girl by her hand." Orbit the world as planned."
"We are all very strong." Cupid's legacy all along."
"Her body lifts my lust up and down." She's supreme queen of Casanova town."
"Listen to Velu's policy... we die today tomorrow we are just a faded memory."
"Life is just sweat and blood. You are yet another silly dud."
"Goatee shortie... open the door."
"I won't, you'll gobble me, wild tiger."
"Goatee shortie... open the door."
"I won't, you'll gobble me, wild tiger."
Come on. Are you ready?
"Your sexy body excites me like a lake whose depth is a mystery."
"You drill me to total ecstasy. Like a shovel you cultivate me."
"Listen to me everybody. Dead today next day ashes only."
"We live in a dangerous world you and me."
"Once we do it just a memory."
"Then you scream with pain and joy to deliver a new- born baby girl or boy."
"Pickle me dry pickle me spicy with tamarind and goose berry."
"Oh beautiful lassie so fair. Golden cheeks shine like pear."
"Your pouting lips got me floored. But your words are like bitter gourd."
"Grilled egg plant takes me high. Drum stick makes my desires fly."
"Goatee shortie... open the door."
"I won't, you'll gobble me, wild tiger."
"Once we do it just a memory."
"Then you scream with pain and joy to deliver a new- born baby girl or boy."
"Come with me to ravish me anklet legged sweet lady."
Move aside.
Good morning.
I came to be with you. But you are having fun with these girls.
- Why did you hit me for that? - Do you expect me to hug you?
It pains here.
Sorry.
Only a sorry?!
I love you.
- Look. - Yes.
Wake up... dear, get up.
Paint the 4 pillars and start the car.
I am so petrified he is blabbering in his sleep.
Wake up.
Why are you waking me up at this time of the night?
Horse is moving of its own accord.
Who bought a horse without asking me?
Oh! I mean the wooden horse in the waste room.
Is it Michael Jackson for me to come and see?
Please come and take a look.
- Get up. Come. - Can't bear your torture.
Sorry... I didn't push you. You fell of your own accord.
Don't tell anyone I fell.
I swear I won't.
Watch your step.
Open the door.
God. Careful.
Can you see it moving? You asked if it is Michael Jackson?
Where are you going? Don't leave me alone.
It stopped.
You closed the window. It stopped moving.
- Wooden horse. - I know.
- It was swinging in the wind. - I know.
Then why did you spoil my sleep?
You get all kinds of ideas in your head and blabber!
Forgive me.
You always do that.
If you wake me up in the middle of the night again, I won't keep quiet next time.
Torturing a man in the middle of the night.
Is it because I am sleepy?
Definitely my half asleep state... how can I get.
What?
You closed the door on me in that room.
- Come. - Okay.
I have to catch the early morning 5 A.M flight to Bangalore.
And you wake me up saying horse is moving.
You never told me about your trip.
- Now you know, you can tell my mom. - I will tell her.
Golden goddess came in front of me.
What's this?
Today is a special day of worship for Goddess Saraswathi.
So my sister asked me to drape a sari.
You look beautiful.
I like this demure look.
But this isn't how you wear a sari.
You should pull--
Today is a festive day. Can we go pray to Goddess Saraswathi?
Raghava!
- Raghava! - Mother.
- Come here. - What, mother?
Bring all your instruments, books. We have to offer them before God.
I'll bring my bike.
How can you bring a bike inside, you nitwit?
Bring some other stuff you use.
- I'll bring my cricket bat. - Go... get that.
What are you both doing here?
We kept our books in front of God.
Goddess Saraswathi, I should win all the matches I play.
Raghava.
Break this coconut for me.
Not here... this flooring is too expensive for that.
Where can I break it then?
On my head! Outside.
With what?
Take this.
Can you do it in one shot?
Whether coconut or mango one sure shot will do the trick.
Let's see.
Hey.
What a power.
- Superb. - Superb?
- Bring the coconut. - Mother.
Give me the coconut.
What's this?
All I asked you to do was break the coconut into two.
You've shattered it to pieces.
- Aunty. - What?
Your son has super power.
He just touched the coconut. It broke to bits and pieces.
Yes, mother.
Even I didn't know the extent of my power, mom.
Did you have to show your might on a coconut?
Wish I could just give you two tight slaps.
Time to go to the temple.
Break another coconut for me.
I thought as much.
Mom?
Must have been the wind.
- Why did the camphor get snuffed out? - Don't worry, I'll be back.
Here.
This lemon has been blessed by our Goddess.
Keep it under your pillow when you sleep.
- Okay. - You'll be fine.
I have the lemon given by the priest.
With this, I can sleep in peace now.
God.
Throw the sanctified lemon given to you. Throw it out.
Greetings Swami.
- Greetings Swami. - Come.
Sit down.
We have a small problem at home.
What's troubling you?
Some evil force has entered our house. It is threatening us.
We can hear a wail inside our house at night, priest.
If we go and check, suddenly an apparition appears before us.
You never told me all this?
All a matter of pride!
It strangled me and forced me to throw away the lemon you gave me.
Please help us get to the bottom of this.
Let's go discuss this in your house.
You want to find out if there's evil force inside your house or not, right?
I'll read out from the book our ancestors have written specially for us.
You can follow their instructions and find out.
Okay.
Lord Shiva's favorite is the three eyed coconut.
Place it in the centre of your hall. Pray to your family deity.
If there is an evil force, the coconut will swirl...
...and point to the direction where it is lurking.
Then existence of the evil force is proved 50 percent.
Only 50 percent? What about the remaining 50 percent confirmation?
- I'll tell you. - Tell me.
Cook a feast and bring a cow to eat it in the centre of your hall.
If the cow runs away in fright another 75 percent is confirmed.
Balance 25 percent, priest?
This will be the last and frightening ordeal.
What is it?
Previous two won't affect you even if evil force is present.
- Okay. - But this is fatal.
You can even be killed.
What should we do, Swami?
Switch of all lights in the house. Light a single lamp.
Place it in the centre of the hall.
Shed a drop of blood into the lamp from a family member...
...and step out of the house immediately.
Close all doors. Wait and watch from outside.
This is a 100 percent test to find out if an evil force resides within.
It is very difficult, priest.
- Isn't there a short cut? - No.
You were supposed to hatch a plan to send Raghav out of this place.
Why are you grazing like a cow?
I am thinking.
- What? - I got an idea.
What idea?
I'll ask my sister to go back claiming my dad is sick.
How does that help us? This boy has to go away from here.
Won't my brother-in-law follow her?
Wow! How did I not think of this?
- You are really intelligent! - All your blessing.
He's coming... start your act.
Why are the two sitting calmly together?
Why are the two sitting, facing opposite directions...
...like lovers who have had a tiff, in the park?
Maybe my mom did not fall at your mom's feet today.
I feel the same.
Is that so?
Sister-in-law.
- Go away. - Mom!
Let him fall.
I got a call. My dad is unwell.
You are crying as if he has reached Heaven!
If we delay he might just do that!!
Even brother is not in town.
Shall I book a train ticket for you?
I want to send Priya for now.
Priya? Mother!
You are making a noise like the 'share auto rickshaw'.
My heart is in deep pain.
Your dad is unwell?
That's what I just told you.
I didn't listen properly, sister-in-law.
- Mom. - What, my dear?
- Mom. - What?
Uncle.
Your heart started attacking you when you heard your uncle is sick?
- Mom. - My dear.
Such a tender hearted boy of mine. Why don't you accompany Priya home?
Look what happened to his heart attack now.
Take my kids with you.
Let me go alone, just Priya and me.
We'll also come.
My dad would like to see his grand children.
What happened?
Her glamour never reduces despite her dad almost dying!
Dad is unwell.
Dad is not well?
What are you doing to her?
I anticipated she would swoon. So I held her in advance.
Let her down.
- Get ready... leave quickly. Go. - Okay, mother.
- Go. - Let's go.
- Hurry up. - Hurry up.
Now we have lots of work to do.
Come in with the cow when we tell you.
Don't leave it before I tell you.
I am petrified of cows.
Me too.
Keep it there.
Praise be to Lord Shiva.
There is no evil spirit in our house.
Coconut swirled, mom.
Yes.
Let's do the next test. Invite the cow for a feast.
Hey mister.
Please go.
Bring the cow in.
Please eat our offering.
Why is it staring into empty space?
My cow.
There's something sinister here. Vacate this place immediately.
We know that. Get lost.
75 percent confirmed there's a spirit here.
Why do we have to do the blood test?
Kamakshi.
All said and done my husband built this house with so much love and care.
I don't have the heart to abandon it.
Let's do this one last test also.
If the spirit does not show up we can all live happily ever after.
- Please co-operate my dear. - Okay, fine!
Let me switch off the main power.
All Goddesses I believe in please deliver us from all evil.
Kamakshi, please hurry up.
Kamakshi, don't leave me alone and abscond like that.
Please wait.
Let me give a drop of blood.
Do that quickly for God's sake.
I am scared.
Fast... prick your finger. Let the blood drop into the lamp.
It is not coming.
Hurry up.
Why did you hit me?
Quick. Poke fast.
My hand is trembling.
- Can we regain our life if it's taken? - No.
- Poke fast. - You disrespect me?
This spirit is robbing me of respect due to me.
We'll lose our lives.
Come on.
That's enough.
Don't pull my hair.
Close the door.
Can you see a shadow?
I can also see a shadow.
100 percent confirm.
What happened?
Stop it.
Remove that sari from your head.
Tell me what happened.
Everything you can ever imagine.
I saw the spirit with my own two eyes.
That spirit licked the drop of blood with its tongue in one clean swipe.
Only you must exorcise it from our home.
I cannot lie and pretend to be an exorcist I don't make money that way.
There are experts to drive away spirits. Go see them.
How did you know how to identify them?
You are now escaping when it comes to the actual deed.
Is it fair?
I have to confess what I don't know.
Maybe he's a wuss. That's why he's trying to escape.
Stop maligning me in front of God.
Please leave.
Please come in. That priest let us down.
Please help us drive this spirit away.
Please come in.
- Hail Sarvana. - Hail Asandabhavva.
- Please come, priest. - Please come.
We advertised only this morning since we had no other way to earn money.
How did we get a client so soon?
Is there such a demand to drive away spirits?
Yes boss, that's why we have got this lucrative offer.
Stop calling me 'boss'. That's when we were in jail.
Here, you are my disciple, I am your Guru.
Come in. Exorcise this evil spirit.
We have fallen into this trap.
- They have locked us in. Let's go. - Sit.
I said sit down.
This place sure looks haunted.
Don't lament too much and invite a non-existent ghost.
Let's recite this powerful mantra. Let's pretend to drive the spirit away.
We can collect our cash and scoot.
Recite fast.
Life's life... my dearest life.
Let me see.
You idiot.
You have brought the wrong book.
This is lyrics of the film 'Kaaka Kaaka' in which Suriya and Jothika starred.
Sorry, boss.
I got confused a bit. Here.
Read it.
Let God's golden spear protect me. Let it be seen instantaneously.
Let it strike the evil and solve my problems.
Please ensure my sins are powdered.
Stop it.
Usually I am the mimic. Why are you doing it instead?
That wasn't me. It was someone else's voice.
I can sense some other presence here.
I am scared. I feel I'll die.
For four people to live, it doesn't matter if we sacrifice one life.
Who are those four?
Me, my wife and my two kids.
I hit you. Who hit me?
I don't know.
- Oh my God! - What happened? Hey.
What happened?
We have caught it.
- You have that spirit trapped in this? - It's inside.
- Would you like to see? - We have seen it many times.
It won't come in here after, will it?
How can it? It is in here. It can't get away.
Where did your saffron cloth go?
We removed it as the spirit hates saffron.
Look.
You might have seen many people who shed blood for their country.
Have you seen anyone who has done so for the sake of your house?
This looks like a scare crow that's been electrocuted.
Don't underestimate him. Help us put this body back in shape.
I'll pay you Rs 30,000 though we agreed on Rs 20,000.
- Okay. Here. - Give it.
Clean up your house and move on. We'll attend to our chores.
- Okay. - Go.
- Let's go. - Hey you.
Get up. Stand up, please.
What's he staring vacantly at? Will he ask his usual silly questions?
Where am I?
Do you know me?
I don't know.
Then the money is all mine!
You'll be slippered!!
- Coffee. - Hope it has less sugar.
How was your trip, my dear son?
Excellent.
Here.
You must have been happy without me, for a week?
We had a jolly time.
Where are the kids and Raghav?
He actually--
We sent them to her dad's place since he wasn't well.
- Is that so? - I asked them to come back yesterday.
They must be on the way.
They are here.
- You already got started? - Sorry.
How are you? How was your trip?
I am fine. How is her dad's health?
He is fine.
Mom, did you have fun without me?
Missed you lots, dear.
Your face looks like it's spooked slapped by a spirit!
Spirit didn't slap me. She did!
- Sister-in-law. - Please don't complain.
- Just for fun. - I see.
"If you want to come with me, shake it and move with me."
- "Can you just do it, oh baby?" - Raghava.
"If you want to come with me..."
- "...shake it and move with me." - Raghava.
Get up and come to my room.
- To the room? - Yes.
I can't. Mom's here.
If you don't I'll leave tomorrow. I won't talk to you.
Come.
Let me go. How did this sudden love appear?
I am going home tomorrow. You are latching on to your mom.
Leave me.
Sorry, one.
Sorry, two. Sorry, three.
I apologized thrice.
Pushing me from behind--
What are you doing here?
Answer me.
You?
Why are you here now?
What will your mom say?
My mom... will say?
I was peacefully sleeping. You brought me here... pushed me.
Then you re-appear from the other side.
Are you making some kind of magic?
What? I brought you here? You are mad... about me.
Like how, in films the hero keeps imagining his lady love is everywhere.
Is that so?
That comes in small shots at intervals. This was a prolonged shot.
Yeah... your love for me is long and strong.
Go back to your room.
I am asking you to leave this room.
You want me to go?
Go.
I am confused.
- Go. - I'll go.
I must somehow kiss her at least once.
Raghava.
How many times should I ask you to go?
Kiss me just once.
With just one kiss, I must become as fair as you!!
"Move your body."
"Move your body. Come on. Move your body."
"Body."
"If you want to come with me, shake it and move with me."
"Can you just do it, oh baby?"
- "Let's party." - "Come on, oh baby."
"If you want to come with me, shake it and move with me."
"Can you just do it, oh baby?"
- "Baby." - "Let's party."
"Dark and handsome hunk. You dazzle me completely."
"I'm under your spell and mercy."
"Majestic man so magnetic. You mesmerize me entirely."
"I'm head over heels... totally."
"Black is our world's finest hue. You are Lord Krishna's heir so true."
"Did your mom eat saffron in gallons?"
"That's why you are born so fair... I think."
"Did she bathe you in pure white milk? That's why radiantly you glow so pink!"
"Come, my ebony toned beau. This ivory maiden is hot for you."
"Caress me tenderly. As a black and white movie."
"You are fair and pearly. A sari-clad delicious kulfi."
"You arouse every capillary to make a new sexy movie."
"Dusky dude... smooth operator. In my mind's eye forever."
"You've torn me into strands of fibre."
"If I submerge in fire I'll get your fair color."
"Black is a tone I truly favor."
"If a single drop of water you shower in falls into the sea.. sea will turn white."
"Over-cast clouds that share your skin tone shower rain on our earth..."
"...with such delight."
"It's the dark night the fair moon seeks specifically... to wax, wane and shine."
"To your fair body as smooth as butter you have tied me with your love-twine."
"With your fair skin as white as snow you have enraptured this dark fellow."
"Come, my midnight blue Lord I am waiting with a reward."
"Brush me with strokes that vary. It's a black and white movie."
"You are fair and rosy. A sari-clad yummy kulfi."
"You arouse every vein in me to make an erotic hot movie."
"You are my heartbeat. My heart is calling you, come."
"Come, my naughty boy. Come to me."
"Let's do it together. Come to me."
"Come, my naughty boy. Come to me."
"Let's do it together. Come to me."
"Your matinee idol Rajinikanth is dark. You, his fan share the same style mark."
"My hero's heart is made of gold. His fan is of the same mould."
"God has sprinkled star-dust on you. Lord of illusion, what did you do?"
"If you download ego from your pretty head."
"You'll get lucky and be truly blessed."
"Your star-light eyes have cast a spell. Don't know head or tail.. in love I fell."
"If black and white stick together like glue..."
"...we are 'made for each other' couple true."
"Come, my dearest dusky lover I want to ravish you all over."
"Touch me... it's touch and go! Now it's a black and white show."
"You are fair and milky. A sari-clad lick-able kulfi."
"You arouse every nerve in me to make a novel sensual movie."
What happened?
Nothing... you are leaving tomorrow. Go to bed, I'll go back to my room.
Why are you talking weirdly?
Nothing is wrong with me. I am fine... let me go.
I gave you what you asked.
Yeah... you did. Why are you obsessing about it?
You have to leave tomorrow.
I won't let you go.
Go home and call me.
Hope you have prepared well for your exams.
Okay.
- Give them some time together. - Go ahead.
We don't have anything to talk.
You go.
We don't have anything to talk?
We've been talking all these days.
Have you both fought?
She's going home to write her college exams.
You start the car.
I won't talk to you unless you talk to me.
Did you have a tiff with her?
- Nothing of that sort, mom. - Leave it.
Tomorrow is your brother's wedding day. Let's go and shop.
You offered to select the clothes. First for your sister-in-law.
First, choose for your sister-in-law and then choose for your brother.
What color do you like?
Your choice.
It should be very costly. Even Rs 500 is fine.
Don't look at me like that!
I bought this by the roadside, Rs. 150.
Doesn't it look rich?
You pick the sari.
How about this color?
- Well-- - Let it be.
That red sari.
The other red one.
Give me that red color sari.
Give it to me.
Why are you picking all the red saris?
Do you like red, Kamakshi?
But I like it.
Keep aside all your antics at home. This is a shop.
Take out all the red saris.
Show me. Show me all the saris.
- Give it to me. Even that one. - Hey.
Why are you talking like a female?
You're disturbing me.
Let me go drape a sari.
He is so strange.
Excuse me.
Would you mind moving aside?
I want to wear this sari.
Look over there.
He's humiliating us this way in a shop.
Let's go see.
Does it look good? Give me your opinion.
What's this?
- Do I look good in a sari? - Kamakshi.
Don't walk away without telling me.
- Is it good? - Remove the sari.
I am wearing one after a long time. Tell me how I look.
Get lost. Don't disturb me.
I'm wearing a sari after a long time. You don't want to appreciate that?
Get lost! You--
What is this?
Did you hit me?
- Then. - Why?
What's this drama?
Are you trying to make fun of me draping me in a sari?
How awful I am the ridicule of all here.
Did I drape a sari around you? What's he blabbering?
If you didn't how would a sari drape itself around me?
- What is he saying? - Why are you behaving this way?
I came to buy a sari for your sake. You humiliated me.
I am going home.
Such a shame.
Raghav's going over board with his cheekiness, nowadays.
Talk to us, uncle. Why are you so silent?
Alright. Calm down. You didn't drape the sari in the shop I did, happy?
Why are you having such a long face?
Accept it. You claimed I did.
She looks tensed.
- What is she searching? - I don't know.
Kamakshi, on your wedding day you should be with my son.
That's why we are here. Why are you hunting for something here?
I can't find my bangles.
I don't know where I put them. That's why I am hunting all over.
Your bangles are missing? Must be in your Almirah.
- Go, take a look. - Go and search.
You and me... me and you.
Dear.
Do my hands look beautiful?
Tell me. Do my hands look beautiful?
I'm wearing bangles after a long time.
Do my hands look beautiful? Tell me.
Tell me. Do my hands look beautiful?
Get up, dear.
Not tonight darling. Let's do it tomorrow.
Oh God. Don't you think about anything else?
Get up.
What?
Come up and see what your brother is up to.
You call me down... you say it's rocking Then you call me up.
What's happened to you?
He's wearing my missing bangles. And showing them off.
Stop it.
If he isn't there now you'll see a wild side of me.
We can both get wild. Come up now.
- Come. - Come.
- You go up first. - Come slowly.
Come.
Where is he?
Where?
That's what I am asking too.
He was right here.
I know where he'll be. I'll show you.
Silence.
Did you see? He's fast asleep.
Shankar, where are you?
Come up... I'm here.
Shank--
Don't play the fool. I am scared.
Sathya!
- Raja. - Brother.
I haven't got any call from Sathya since last night, find out where she is.
It seems you asked her to visit you at the guest house.
When did I call her? I was at home.
Find out where she is.
Sister-in-law!
My God. Why is Raghav calling me now? What will he do now?
- Sister-in-law! - I'm coming.
God! Please save me.
What?
Geyser is not working in my bathroom. I want to take a shower here.
Your mom has already left for the 'pooja'. She'll yell if I am late.
I have to go out.
Okay... you go in first.
Why did you scare me last night wearing my bangles?
- Me? Wore bangles? - Yes.
- I scared you? - Yes.
Go see a doctor.
He thinks I am mad? I am very clear about this.
But I am scared.
Go, take a shower.
My God.
What's this?
Who has messed up with my turmeric powder?
There's turmeric everywhere.
How will I say he's anointing himself with turmeric powder?
There's yellow foot prints wherever he's walked.
We've got permission for two floors only.
3rd floor is a little dicey then it's up to you.
Look, actually--
Excuse me.
Hello.
I have something very important to tell you.
Don't get shocked, dear.
I am at work... tell me.
Your brother is using turmeric powder.
Give me a minute.
What's happened to you?
I swear, believe me.
Last night you came up with the bangle story.
Now you come up with this turmeric theory.
Tomorrow you'll claim he wore your sari.
Oh God! I forgot to tell you. He already did that.
When we went to shop for our wedding day he wore a red sari.
Why are you crying?
Don't disturb me when I am at work. I'll really get mad with you.
What did you say?
I'll get angry.
I'm already angry.
What? You're angry. I'll be there soon.
Kamakshi!
How could you?
Why are you yelling this way?
Should a man work in peace or not?
Last night you spoilt my sleep claiming. Raghav wore your bangles and scared you.
Today you say he anointed himself with turmeric powder, while I am at work.
No. Let's not fight about this.
See for yourself. I have kept turmeric and kumkum.
He'll come... use all this I'll be proved right.
Then it's between you and your brother.
Why do you keep repeating the same dialog?
Hey! She's right.
What's wrong with you, mom?
In the shop on your wedding day.
That's what he did... picked all the red saris.
Draped one on himself.
When I slapped him, he asked if I had draped that sari on him!
He would have been just playful.
I too thought so.
But she showed me the bathroom after he had showered.
Whole floor was yellow with turmeric powder. Also yellow footprints.
Is this called being playful?
- Where is he now? - Who knows?
- When will he come? - He'll come.
Alright. Will a man use turmeric?
In no house will this happen.
But it's happening in this house.
I'll slipper you.
Let him come.
If you are proved wrong. I'll pack you both out of the house...
...even though it's my wife and mom I won't show compassion.
- Finished all your assignments? - Yes.
- Raghava. - Yes.
Where did you go?
I went out.
You seem tired.
- Did you have food? - No.
Go take a shower, we can eat.
Raghava, you said the heater in your room is not working, it is still the same.
Take a shower in the rest room here.
- Okay. - Serve me fish gravy.
Did you see? He's going in.
He's going in for his shower.
I will take it myself.
Eat... we'll be back.
Come silently.
What's he upto?
He looked at the turmeric powder. Then he looked all around.
He'll check then rub it on him. Don't miss the scene.
Why are his legs dancing like Kathakali?
Dear.
Why are your legs trembling?
No.
- Shaking? - Yes.
Your legs are shaking seeing that sight?
You were right, dear.
Our whole family's dignity is shaken up.
He'll then start to sing. You never listened to me.
Forgive me.
Stop it. Move aside. Let me see. Move aside.
I can't reach.
Mother--
- Are you done? - Yes.
Lock the room. Go to bed.
- Good night, daddy. - Good night, daddy.
Good night, uncle.
- Bye. Good night, kids. - Good night, uncle.
- Sister-in-law. - Yes.
Serve me a good chicken piece.
- Sure. - Come on.
That's enough.
Raghava.
Are you taking part in any play?
Why?
Your actions seem that way.
Tell me something.
Your wife asked me why I scared her wearing bangles...
...now you ask me if I'm doing melodrama.
Do I seem like a joker to you?
Do we look like clowns to you?
What's turmeric powder doing on your feet?
You think I can't see if you drag your feet in?
Answer me.
I don't know.
How can turmeric be on your feet without your own knowledge?
Answer him.
Tell me. How can turmeric be on your feet?
I don't know.
You are lying.
I saw you rubbing turmeric paste with my own eyes.
We all saw.
Are you playing the fool?
Answer me.
Answer your brother.
Take your hands off me.
Raghava.
What happened?
You found out?
Have you all found out?
- Okay, forget it. - What do you mean?
What's happened to you? Why are you behaving like a female?
I asked you to forget it.
You are a disgrace to us.
- I asked you to let go. - Tell me.
Why are you behaving like this?
- I said let go. - Raghava!
- Raghava, answer me. - I said let go.
Tell me.
You are trying to man-handle me!?
Dear!
How dare you touch me?
- Touch me. Touch me now. Come on. - Let go.
Why do you look paralyzed?
- Touch me. - Let go of him.
I said touch me.
Get lost. You and your dears and fears.
How can he touch a woman when she is talking? Rascal.
If a man touched you, won't you get angry?
Won't you get angry?
Yes... we will... but--
He was constantly annoying me. Will a man use turmeric?
Naturally only a woman will.
Scoundrel.
Lying down like a buffalo.
He is coming.
Who cooked?
I asked you a question.
I did.
Delicious.
He's eating with his left hand.
Don't go near him.
Raghava.
What is this new habit?
You used to reprimand the kids when they ate with their left hand.
You are doing the same now.
Raghava, please.
Raghava!
Keep quiet!
You are speaking Hindi.
Of course.
Then what? Of course I'll speak in my mother tongue.
You think I'll speak Tamil?
Hey!
I'm eating after many days.
If you speak one more word no one in this house will be alive.
Understand?
Yes, I finished cooking.
Really yummy.
Son. Eat slowly... take your time.
Wow! What a spread!
All for me. This is chicken 65.
Yes, it is 65.
Chicken piece.
Father. I won't eat here. I'll eat only there. Okay?
Ramu... come out.
Stop.
Very good, Rama.
- Dad. - What, my son?
I want to pee.
Shall I eat and then pee. Or pee and eat this chicken?
Pee and then eat.
Unzip me.
It'll get caught and pain if I do it myself.
Careful.
Zip is moving by itself.
Alright. You go.
Dad, some fatso is lying in the way. Move to that side.
Are you okay, my dear?
Shut up. Why are you crying?
My husband.
You are supporting him? Go up.
Shall I send you also up?
Superb.
I am scared. Bring me down.
Why are you screaming?
I am petrified. Bring me down.
If you come down you shouldn't support this fatso.
I have no idea who this fatso is.
Then... come down.
Thanks a lot.
- Forgive me. - Mad woman Go stand in that corner.
And you.
I love your smile. Let me go and pee. Bye.
Chicken, wait here.
Let me pee.
A!
B!
Dad, I decorated the wall with A and B. Shall I add a 'C'?
Go ahead, my son.
I'm done.
Won't you keep quiet?
Dear, he wore my bangles. He draped my sari.
'He applied dot, he wore flower, he applied my turmeric powder.'
If you keep stepping into my space. That's it... I'll slash your neck.
I have an important job. I'll finish that and leave of my own accord.
If you hassle me before that and hinder my progress.
Understand?
Then, keep quiet!
I'll take leave. Tell him also.
Son, my youngest is going.
Get into the car. I didn't tell you.
I am sending both the kids to you. Take care of them.
Why are you so agitated?
A small problem here. As soon as I solve it I'll call you.
You were worried Raghav has changed towards you... he's not to be blamed.
Don't talk to me about him.
He's innocent. He doesn't know anything. Those three souls are the reason.
He has three women in his life?!
Not he, they have him in their lives.
What are you saying?
We are taking him to the mosque today. He'll soon be back to normal.
Mosque?
Don't keep interrupting my thoughts.
I'll solve everything and call you.
Okay, sister.
Call me as soon as the kids reach.
- Didn't he do anything wrong? - No.
Just call me.
- Convey my regards to him. - Okay, I'll do.
I've been sitting like this all night long.
I have to go to the rest room.
I'll kill you if you abandon me irrespective of the fact you are my mom.
My youngest son will treat me with more respect atleast.
You're disrespecting me.
It was a ghost that I saw, I am so terrified, mom.
Mother!
Can't you call softly?
Forgive me, dear.
If you elders are scared who'll take Raghav to the mosque to exorcise him?
What? Raghava? I won't come.
I have to cure my son, I'll come.
I'll also come.
Did you see Raghav?
Is he himself... or inside it?
How can I go alone? Let's all go.
You always put me in trouble.
Come, let's go.
- Hail Lord Anjaneya. - Remove that Anjaneya counterpane.
Wonder if he'll come if we say we are taking him to the mosque.
Move aside.
- Call him. - You call him.
Raghava.
Call loudly.
Raghava!
Run... run.
He's here.
Mom, you know I get scared easily. Why did you let me sleep alone?
Apparently he gets scared, it seems.
Why are you and my brother covered with holy ash?
Your brother got scared seeing something at night.
He got scared seeing something at night.
Nothing as such.
He isn't too well. We are going to the mosque to cure him.
Will you come?
No need.
I'll also come, mom. My whole body is aching.
- Feels like 10 people smashed me. - Did you hear that?
He says he feels like 10 people smashed him.
It's possible.
Come, dear.
- Come, son. - Go.
They said there are 3 spirits.
Where are you going?
He seems to be going around like he is in Thirupathy temple.
All four tyres are fine, let's go.
You go ahead... I'll just buy sacred offerings and join you.
Come, touch this and pray.
Come. Touch it.
Ghost, let go! Go away!
Ghost, go away!
Come, son. Come in.
Why are you leaving me alone? I am scared. Come.
You said you'll take care of everything.
Come. Come and help me. Hey fatso.
Why are you lying on the road as if you are in your bedroom?
Let go of me. I said let go.
I said let go.
- Let go. - I won't.
It is here.
Save us.
Come... I am asking you to step in.
I won't come.
Don't.
Devil... you got scared and ran away. I know when and how to catch you.
- Priest. - What happened, priest?
Demon ran away in fright.
Oh no. What do we do now?
Do as I tell you.
Okay.
Thank you. Come on, darling.
Ages since you called me.
- That way. - What's happening?
Got scared?
Must be some electrical flaw. Even I got scared for a moment.
Who are these spirits?
My forefathers.
I am leaving.
Go get lost.
You can die here.
If I say go, you think you can leave?
I'm also coming. I am petrified.
Come soon.
It won't come again, will it?
He's here.
You Muslim priests. Don't you have work in your mosque?
Instead of praying there why are you playing here?
What are you looking at me for?
That I got scared at the mosque but I'm talking bravely to you here?
That's a holy place.
This is my home!
Stop your chants.
I said stop your chants!
Isn't your name Salim?
You live in # 05, 16th street? Your daughter just got married?
If you don't stop chanting...
...I'll share their wedding night with all of you here.
You can all have a free show. Do you want to watch it?
- My dearest daughter! - Then stop chanting.
Don't stop praying. That's how it will behave.
Leave my daughter alone. Please don't harm her.
Allah! Save her.
I beg you.
Don't do anything to her. I'll leave.
Allah!
What?
- Go. - I'll go.
Priest!
- Oh God. - He ran away.
What are you looking at? I'm there and there too. Come.
Great, isn't it?
Karim Bai, rise from there.
- I'll go. - Priest, please, don't go.
This is the best way.
He has started his drama.
What, bhai?
Do I have to tell you specially? Get lost.
You can chase them away.
You can even destroy me.
But you have to face this pure water of Allah.
No.
No!
Don't sprinkle this on me.
Then leave that boy. Sit in that corner.
I will not.
You cannot escape.
I have bound all the sides. Sit in that corner.
I'm going.
Come here.
I am too tired, you come here.
- Come. There is a ghost. - Where?
Mother, ghost!
Don't shout.
Who are you?
Answer me!
- Won't you tell? - I will tell you!
My name is Kanchana.
R. Sarathkumar in a new role guest appearance.
How dare you?
You rascal.
Geetha, come here.
Priya, transgender as transgender.
I believe you eve-tease her on the road every time she passes by.
Grab her hand now.
She wants to prove herself despite being part of our transgender clan.
Men like you who are so lecherous should not be allowed to live.
I will kill you.
Mom, don't. Let him go.
Listen to me. Throw the stone away.
Kanchana!
Stop it. Put the stone down.
I am asking you to drop it.
I always abided by his words though I never obeyed anyone.
My own parents despised me.
Why don't you die? We are humiliated by you.
If we ask you to wear a watch you wear bangles.
Instead of putting on your pants you parade in a skirt.
You use turmeric paste instead of powder.
How many times do we reprimand you?
Every time you hit me I thought I should change.
But I am unable to, dad.
I even googled and read books. Reason I believe is hormone changes.
It's not my fault. Don't send me away from home.
Are you teaching me science?
Get lost.
My own parents chased me out because I chose to be a transgender.
When I was roaming the roads this Muslim uncle took me under his care.
Are you hungry?
I didn't understand his language. But he understood my hunger.
He took me to his place.
- Dad. - Yes.
Dad, I want to pee. Unzip me.
You do it yourself.
It will get caught and pain if I do it myself.
Okay.
Go.
I decorated the wall with an A. Shall I do B now?
Go on.
Are you wondering, why he's peeing in the hall?
He is retarded, not like us.
Eat.
Why are you crying?
I told him my story.
Listen! I'll tell you something.
If you are born a boy you are Lord Shiva. If you are born a girl you are Shakthi.
If combined, you are Ardhanareeswar.
- What's your name? - Karthik.
From today you are Kanchana.
Father and son went to sleep.
I thought deeply of my plight that night.
Isn't it true people hate us because we beg or get into bad habits?
I decided never to travel that path.
I didn't want to ask this gentleman who gave me shelter to educate me.
I decided I would find a transgender like me.
I wanted to educate her to be a doctor, thus making my dream come true.
Through my search I found Krishna alias Geetha.
I told uncle that I will make him study and he agreed too.
No school was willing to admit her.
Our school will be called 'transgender school' if we admit such children.
No one will admit their children here.
Please don't say this. I wanted to be a doctor.
I couldn't, that's why this is very close to my heart.
Give people like us a chance.
I feel at his feet and pleaded.
He finally agreed.
She studied well.
We got news from her school that gladdened us.
I have to tell you this important thing.
I first refused to admit Geetha in this school.
I was scared we would be ridiculed if I admitted a transgender.
It is that same Geetha who has brought glory to our school.
It's a record in our Indian history that a transgender has secured first rank.
Our school is renowned in Tamil Nadu because of Geetha.
I am proud of you, Geetha. Give her a big hand.
All credit goes to her mother Kanchana.
To make up for my initial refusal we've given Geetha a scholarship...
...to go abroad and pursue her studies in medicine.
Now, I call upon Geetha to come up on the stage and say a few words.
Come on, Geetha.
Respected Chief Guest, our school head master...
...and my teachers.
I am very happy. I don't know what to say.
My mother is the sole reason for my success.
Mother, come up to the stage.
Greetings to all.
I think gratitude is an essential virtue in this world.
I need to thank 3 people.
If Geetha and I are standing here before you main reason is Akbar Bai.
If he hadn't supported us we would have been orphans.
I thank Akbar Bai.
If Geetha had not been admitted in this school she could not have achieved this.
For taking her in the school and funding her education...
...I thank our headmaster.
Finally I thank Geetha for making my dream come true.
I have to share something important with you.
Our government has supported us extensively.
Instead of being ridiculed as Ali or nine...
...we've been named thirunagai (transgender).
But my own parents slippered me and humiliated me, out in the open.
They even wished me dead.
If they had understood and supported me. I'd also have become a doctor today.
What wrong did I do?
Did I smoke, drink, gamble? Was I a Casanova?
If I had done all this, I am wrong.
Is it wrong to be born like this?
This is God's creation.
Geetha is one such child like me chased out of her home.
She has achieved today.
Even Narthagi Natrajan was transgender.
Even Kalki who is famous in IT field is also a transgender.
Rose in media, MP Revathy in UP, doctors, engineers...
...social workers. They have all achieved in their respective fields.
Even we can achieve.
Wonderful!
If you have a child like me at home don't make her an orphan.
Don't spoil her life. Treat her as your own child.
Forgive me if I spoke out of turn.
Bless you, my child.
I worked night and day doing all kinds of odd jobs.
I saved Rs 250000 for your education.
Now that you have got a scholarship what do we do with this money?
I too have a dream, mom.
What is it, my dear?
When I come back from abroad I want to build a hospital.
I want to give free medical aid for the poor.
I'm happy to hear this.
Don't worry. With the money we have, we'll buy a land...
...and then build a hospital when you get back.
I followed Geetha's wishes.. I bought land where we could build a hospital later.
I shared this news with Geetha. She was ecstatic.
I was very happy my dream was coming true.
At that time--
Kanchana.
Someone has trespassed into your plot.
This land belongs to P.V. Balu Trespassers will be prosecuted.
'Balu.'
Who is that? Go and check.
You dare to touch me?
Come.
Hey!
Come.
Am I a child to be hoisted on to your waist?
Are you a man? You are stabbing me behind my back.
Face me fair and square. Come.
Come.
Who is that Balu?
Not Balu. It is that politician Shankar.
He even forged the document in his name.
Let me go. Don't do anything to me.
Where is he?
So you are Shankar?
- Go. - Don't you have any brains?
If we buy a plot, toiling against all odds you'll forge the document and grab it.
Aren't you ashamed?
Who are you?
You won't remove your glasses? Get lost.
You dumbass! I thought Kanchana was a lady.
You never told me she's a transgender.
Do you know that what we have done is a big sin?
If they curse us, that's it. We are doomed for many births.
Let's not take that curse onto us.
Let us give her land back.
I will tell you honestly. I did this only for her.
Now that she herself wants to return it I am giving this back to you.
You won't have any hindrance from me.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize you would be such a gentleman.
I am sorry if I acted in haste and anger.
Keep these documents.
- Sorry. - Sir.
I'll pick them up.
Kanchana!
What happened, Kanchana?
Kanchana! My child. What happened, Kanchana?
Bhai, they have grabbed our land.
When I came to question them...
...pretending to be good they killed me.
- Kanchana! - What happened?
They thrashed me...
...they cheated on us.
Dad!!!
You hit my mom and dad? I won't spare you.
I'll kill you.
I won't let you go. You hit my mom and dad.
Son, no. Son.
Did you think this was real? It's all a game.
- Really? Game? - Yes.
It's a game. Thief-cop game.
I imagined something else and got scared.
Look, I even have a gun. Toy gun.
Gun?
First you can shoot me Then you can shoot yourself.
- Here. Take it. - No, son.
- I will shoot you. - Shoot.
- Shall I shoot you? - Shoot.
Shoot. Shoot.
What happened?
Toy gun.
- Will you shoot yourself now? - Shall I?
- Okay. - Okay.
- Shoot. - No.
- I'll shoot myself. - Go on.
No.
- No. - Come on.
Be quiet, mom. You are all playing a game.
- Shoot. Come on. - I will shoot myself.
Don't shoot, no.
I won't let you go scot-free.
Shall I cast them in the sea?
Do you want them to float back to the shore for us to be caught by the cops?
Poor Kanchana! She bought this land toiling hard with sweat and tears.
Let's bury them in that same piece of land. Her soul will rest in peace.
They buried all 3 of us in the same land. I bought with such love and sacrifice.
Is this fair? Tell me.
What happened to you was unjust. I agree.
But I can't forsake my rules.
This family has come with faith in Allah.
We won't forsake whoever comes with such faith.
Leave this house and come into this.
Don't confine me to that.
I must somehow kill Shankar. Today is full moon day.
Only then Geetha will get that land.
As per her wishes a hospital can be built there.
After I kill him. I'll myself leave this house.
Till then give me some grace time.
You won't come?
Please don't put it on me.
Come.
I'll come.
I said come.
Bring that boy here.
Get up. Priest is calling.
- I won't come. - Come.
- Raghava. - Why are you not going?
You played cricket in that awful place and brought the spirit in.
Now you refuse to obey. Come. Please come.
- Come, son. - He caught the ghost, didn't he?
Allah, drive away the ghost.
Tie this scared thread around his wrist.
I'll dissolve this in the sea.
You should ensure the thread doesn't fall off his wrist for 3 days.
If it does, this spirit will return.
Careful... I'll take leave.
Go away, devil.
MLA Shankar!
I told you that all my men are disappearing one by one.
You said you would investigate.
I dreamt someone threatening to kill me by full moon night.
It's full moon tonight.
I have come to you in complete faith.
You killed a transgender and her family.
That soul has entered a body and killed your men.
It is that same spirit which is out to get you.
Priest.
- It is supposed to kill you tonight? - Yes.
There's only one way to kill that soul.
In the seashore at Vettuvankeni transgenders will assemble tonight.
They will choose one of their clan as a Goddess.
They will light a sacrificial fire, bring lamps from the sea, sing, dance...
...and ask their worries to be dispersed.
After they leave, you add the 3 bodies you buried into that sacrificial fire.
The souls will get burnt along with the bodies.
Go and quick dig that place.
Quick. Dig fast.
Bring them.
Hurry up. Go.
Is there no one in this world to rescue us?
Oh my God.
After bringing in all the spirits possible...
...he sits innocently with sacred ash dabbed all over his forehead.
What are you deep in thought?
How to get in more spirits from deserted grounds?
Think of all this as a nightmare shut your gob and go to sleep.
- Mom? - What?
- Isn't Kanchana to be sympathized? - What did you say?
Why are you scrutinizing that thread?
Your helping tendency is always excessive.
Don't snap that thread in a service spree.
I can't keep getting slapped by spirits.
- Promise not to pounce on me?! - Tell me.
If Kanchana was part of our family and was killed, would you let this go?
True... but this is a spirit.
Don't remove that holy thread.
I won't.
Don't take it off.
- I won't. - Okay.
- Be careful. Okay, I will sleep. - Sleep.
Swear by your mother.
- Sleep. - Okay.
Drive fast.
They are taking us away. Will no one help us?
He seems to be new.
Who are you?
Kanchana.
Why have you come?
To settle an old score.
Tell us in a way we can understand.
"To guillotine the Evil one to bite his Adam's apple."
"To tear him into fibrous strands on the streets, hit and grapple."
"Trample over him like a worm. To wrench his blood to suffocate."
"To chop him into bits and pieces. Make his heart and pulse palpitate."
"To make his heirs gasp for breath. Torment the villain to a gory death."
"Seething with anger... boiling with rage. Kanchana is here to wreak her revenge."
"Ivy gourd-like eyes dyed in anger so red."
"Like a tree felled and fallen Kanchana will ensure you are dead."
"Your lips will quake, body will shake. In a split second your life she'll take."
"As you beg and go on your bended knees..."
"...she'll tear you to shreds with spirited ease."
"As you scream and shout your throat hoarse..."
"...she'll close your chapter with no remorse."
"She's come... she's here."
"Like a tempest she billows to exterminate."
"Cracking her knuckles she blows to mutilate."
"She's a lethal man and woman combination."
"She'll peel and mangle you to extinction."
"Seething with anger... boiling with rage Kanchana is here to wreak her revenge."
"Ivy gourd-like eyes dyed in anger so red."
"Like a tree felled and fallen Kanchana will ensure you are dead."
"Your lips will quake, body will shake. In a split second your life she'll take."
"With skulls-garland dancing round her neck."
"A glimpse of her eyes, you will be a wreck."
"In the ghostly hours of midnight the hunter and the hunted fight."
"All the enemies crackle and splinter. Bodies everywhere split and sever."
"A demonic monster not seen ever. She's now in front of you to devour."
"Bronze back tree snake, Russell's viper, most dangerous snakes you can ever find."
"Rat snake, Saw-scaled viper, Pythons, Cobras of the most venomous kind."
"Coral snake, two headed Red sand-boa. Giant ash snake, Checkered keel back."
"Hump-nosed viper, Common krait slither together for a deadly attack."
"Like a typhoon she strikes to annihilate. Cracking her knuckles she'll decimate."
"She's a fatal male and female creature. She'll pound you to a mashed mixture."
"I'll suck your blood and swallow. I'll scrape your insides out hollow."
"From my angry eyes sparks of fire volley limbs throb to torture you mercilessly."
"Famished hunger, her teeth clatter. Avenger's time, ready to massacre."
"Earth and sky quiver in unison wind growls like the Indian ocean."
"With feline grace in a God's image she's here to consume and ravage."
"Even the midsummer sun will be upset seeing her blood shot eyes in mutiny."
"All the directions will be truly shocked looking at her murderous ferocity."
"Rivers of blood will spurt and flow as she tears bodies head to toe.
"She'll show the world, a-never-before seen savage, sinister."
"...blood spattered scene."
"Like a blizzard she will butcher in hate. Cracking her knuckles she'll obliterate."
"Masculine and feminine... two parts of a whole."
"Kanchana will kill with fury, body and soul."
"Till she settles her score in one sweep her angry eyes cannot close and sleep."
"Mountains will fly with her one swift blow."
"Streams of blood on earth will flow."
"All their bones will crumble and wail."
"World will rotate to tell their grisly tale."
"Blades of the swords will break at the end."
"Bodies that clash will scatter and spread."
"Sacred thread will untie and fall aside for a never-before-dreamt genocide."
Hey, where did she go?
Look over there.
Something sinful is going to happen here. Let us all leave.
Everyone has left, boss.
Get down.
Bring the bodies out.
Go.
Rush to the spot.
Why are you gaping? Dump them in.
Kanchana has come. Run.
Run!
Come.
Kill him.
Give him to me. I'll take care.
You went in as a human and came out as a skeleton?!
Where's the driver?
They buried him in the sand.
This car's driver?
They pulled his head out!
They will kill us too.
I am begging you, don't run.
Stop.
- What? - I'm going to kill you.
You intend killing me?
You won't stop if I asked you to stop?
Oh my God.
How will anyone wait to be killed?
But you killed me... how about that?
I'll kill you once more.
Will you kill my son? Kill him, son.
You don't talk. I'll take care... you go in.
Fatso uncle split into two.
Kanchana... I'm here.
What are you looking at?
See if you can come in. You won't be able to.
This is Lord Narasimha's temple.
Try coming in.
If you do, you'll burn to ashes.
Come in.
Narasimha, advocator of Dharma.
Is this your justice?
The wrong doer who sinned is inside.
The spirit who did nothing wrong is outside.
I am going to step in.
If injustice should win, burn me to ashes.
lf justice should prevail, make way for me, Narasimha!
Show me the way.
Lord Narasimha.
You are trapped.
Spare me, Kanchana.
I won't kill him here.
You let me enter this holy place.
I won't tarnish this sacred place by killing him here.
I will kill him outside.
I know how to bring you out.
Kanchana will reside in Raghava always.
Whenever Raghava has a problem she will emerge out.
Raghava will fulfill all Kanchana's desires.
After a few years
Wait.
Close your eyes and get down. Come.
Open your eyes!
Kanchana Hospital. Did you like it? Please come.
- Congratulations! - Thanks, brother.
I was the one who wanted to be a doctor.
I couldn't... that's why this is very close to my heart.
I thank you for making my mother's dream come true.
I didn't do. Its all God's grace.
Like you, all other transgenders should achieve their goals.
I pray to my favorite God Sri Raghavendra Swami to bless you.
He does good to everyone. But he ignores me totally.
I'll make you come to my terms.
- Ghost! - Ghost?!
- Where is it? - Get down.
Only my waist was left you perched there too!
Which other waist will I ever prefer?!
Get down.
Move aside.
With whose permission did you build this hospital?
- Whom should I ask? - You should ask me.
- I'll consult her and let you know. - Who?
Muni 3 will re-appear!
