"A question in the wind paled"
"A dream in a breath exhaled"
"The moment of searing fire"
"Thirst, unquenched desire"
"The path stretches endlessly"
"Restlessly"
"Searches incessantly"
"Helplessly"
"Without a touch, caressing The body possessing"
"Without a graze, leaping menacing anger galloping"
"What is this feeling?"
"Spooky"
"Creepy"
"Eerie"
"Scary"
"A question in the wind resolves"

"The moment of scorching fire"
How is my son connected with this case, doctor?
Ram
Open the door
Break open the door
What happened to him?
Your son is affected by Ram's suicide
He blames himself and feels guilty about Ram's demise
The trauma of Ram's untimely death has reduced Aravind to this state
'For the sake of friendship life can be sacrificed'
'For betrayal, a life can be snuffed'
'Treachery can never be forgiven'
'Darling-2'
'Few Months Later'
Why are you both looking so dull?
Aravind is such a spoilsport He's refusing to come on this trip
Who is the spoilsport, huh?
I'm getting engaged this month and you know it
I am neck deep in work
My father is so mad with me for gallivanting
If someone gets to tick his entire wish list...
...he must be either a lunatic or a bachelor!
Enjoy everything while you're still single
I would love to come with you guys
My folks have said a strict 'no'
Only 2 days, dude Let's just go
Don't tell anyone at home
Come back and face the music
If you miss this, all 5 of us won't get another chance
True, even I don't know when I will get my visa!
This is a gold-en chan-ce Let's have a bl-ast
I've got permission from my wife
I'll be in a soup if we don't go!
I understand only too well
It's been ages since all of us went on a trip together
But my situation is such
- What's the matter? - Talk of the devil!
She'll live for 100 years Wretched female!
- Tell me, dear - Where are you?
I knew it was his wife when he was para-noid!
Shall I come there?
- Don't - Let me come, dear
- No need - I don't believe you
Don't you trust me?
Talk to Aravind He is right next to me
- Talk to her - What do I tell her?
Somehow handle the situation
Just cover up
Yes, tell me
Where are you going?
Valparai
He told me it was an official meeting in Trichy
He's dead meat!
Messed it up, dumbass!
True, we are going to Trichy
We are going to Valparai Enterprises in Trichy
Never heard of such a company
'Val' means wall 'Paarai' is boulders to build it
It is a construction company
Oh! Is that so?
Okay, let me talk to my husband
Why didn't you tell me you lied and got permission!
- Bloody buffalo! - She's still on the line
Tell me, dear
I'll come to Trichy
No need, dear
I can hear a gush of wind Where are you?
He thinks he is the hero Prince Mahesh Babu
He is melting like a marshmallow
Don't over-do it
We'll leave tomorrow morning
Persuade him
How can we go to your estate without you?
So you want me to tag along to reduce your lodging expenses?
Are you mad or what? You are com-ing
That's it!
Why is your voice breaking?
- Shall I visit my mother? - Don't, dear
Did you have dinner?
Not yet, dear
1 minute
Darling?
I'll call you in a bit
Call me, otherwise I'll call you tomorrow
Okay, fine
Call Varadhan in Valparai and let him know our plan
He'll make all the arrangements
Okay, fine
So glad you agreed
I went through hell appeasing my wife
Why did you say I was lying when she was on the line?
She will be stone deaf when I talk to her
But she will hear the tiniest of whispers from you guys
My head is splitting Let me lie down for a while
Don't go back with a glum face
Get some balm at the counter
Go, rest up
He is such a pain
Take rest
Give me his share!
(spooky sounds)
Who is it?
Who is that?
Don't play the fool, guys
Do you have Varadhan's number?
Yes, I have
Call him
He keeps saying he's getting engaged
But he hasn't shown his fiancée's snap to us
You know his nat-ure
Loves sus-pense
Let me check if we left behind any luggage in the room
We brought down everything
My grandma always says 'Check once before you check out'
Your grandma said, huh?
If I quote Amitabh Bachan or Sivaji, you'll fall for it at once
If my grandma says you won't believe, huh?
Fat-so, come soo-soon
I'm coming, waaait!
How come he is so alert That's a damn good habit
You fell for his story!
He has gone to collect soap, comb, shampoo, conditioner
Flick all the freebie stuff
Cheapskate!
He left his inhaler here
They charge a king's ransom as rent
Why leave all this behind?
This is for Balaji
No need This will break
They haven't taken anything at all
3 bottles of shampoo
Will last a month
I had switched on the lights
'Allah! You are my savior'
'Save your son'
Open the door
Open the door for him
What happened?
Rafiq, what happened?
Did you get caught?
What's the matter?
Start the car
- What's wrong with him? - Let's go, quick
Only now your face looks fit for a tour!
As if there is a speci-fic face for a tour
Explain to him
Nutcase!
Concentrate on your driving
Must be more than 1 ½ years since we went on a trip together
The last trip we went was with Ram, right?
Don't mention Ram's name for heaven's sake
Keep quiet
Listen to me, Ram
Don't be stubborn
Why does it bother you if I am in love with Ayesha?
We have no problem
But your parents seem to think we are a bad influence on you
Convince my parents
You are the one who loves Ayesha
Why should we con-vince your parents?
If you can't even convince your parents...
...why do you even fall in love?
Ayesha is waiting for you in Valparai
Both of you spend a few days together
Then your parents will know the value of your love
Is she alone there?
Valparai is her hometown
You know I own an estate in Valparai
You won't have any hassles
Will this work out?
You both have been in love right from your college days
Till date you haven't been able to convince your parents
If you delay any further...
...definitely she will ditch you
Start now
Are you happy now?
You made us lose our self respect
Pa, why are you yelling at them?
How are they to blame?
Shut up!
Uncle, we advised him but he just wouldn't listen
So you joined hands and packed him off
Oh no! Uncle, we didn't
Aravind's idea
Then ask Aravind to fetch him back
He won't listen, uncle
Only you know where Ram is
Tell us now
I'm telling you my mother is serious
What is your problem?
Won't you listen?
How's your mother now?
She's still in Intensive Care
What are you still think-ing about?
Didn't you hear us at all?
It's my responsibility to unite Ram and Ayesha
I'll convince mom and dad
Trust me
What more do you want? He will do the talking
'One who has a brother can face even an army!'
How can I-
Leave it to us
Let's go
Don't hassle me
Get up
Hear me out
Let's go
Dude
I know-
Take care
Maybe what we are doing is not right
More than Ram and Ayesha being united...
...my parents' happiness is priority for me
Why did you lie to me saying mom is seriously ill?
If you run away...
...will your problem be solved?
What do you want me to do now?
Talk to mom and dad
Try to convince them
If she gets to know you are such a coward...
...even Ayesha will walk away from you
'Break open the door'
'What happened to him?'
"Failure in love dejectedly Thirst unquenched within me"
"I'll be back in the breeze Time will be the referee"
"Girl! Walking in the forest Don't worry or fret"
"You may be way-laid by a tiger Don't be perturbed, my dear"
"Just shout out 'Varadha' loudly Tiger will vanish into thin air swiftly"
"Just shout out 'Varadha' boldly Tiger will disappear immediately"
Sir, I can see a car heading this way
"Stop them with a road block high If they move, squeeze them dry"
Varadhan...?
Sir, someone is asking for you with such familiarity
Who the hell is that?
'Varadhan of Valparai'
I will think twice before uttering my own name aloud
Who called out this terror of a name?
I can't make out in this darkness, sir
Let me check
Sir, it's you!
Sorry, sir
Aravind sir?
You called me yesterday and here you are in the blink of an eye
Never works out if I plan ahead
That's why we just landed
We forcibly abducted him!
Hello, Shankar bro
Who else is with you?
Varadhan anna?
Hello, Rafiq Where is Balaji?
He had to unload his tank
I'm here
What are you doing over there?
I am adding nourish-ment to the sandal-wood tree
Pee silently and come over here
Day before yesterday when he was doing the big job...
...a bear dragged him into the jungle
Then what hap-pened?
That's a long story
He was hurt all over Except the face
I can't even name some of the parts!
- Look at him blushing - Don't tease me
All those tales can-not scare me
Single punch
Even to a bear?
Big joke, bro
Get into the car
See you, officer
Bye, Varadha
Move the barricade
See you, Varadha
- Bro...stop - What now?
There's a landslide
They have to go only in a jeep
Aw! I forgot
Shiva, keep watch I'll be back
Alone?
If you are scared take a 40 page notebook
And write 'Praise be to Varadhan of Valparai'
Got it?
I'm talk-
Okay
Keep an eye
Isn't it almost a year since you came here last?
Must be a year
If Ram bro was also with us-
Don't bring up his name
We want to forget the past
Sorry, bro
Have a good time Enjoy your trip
"I'll blow with the breeze"
"To quench my thirst at ease"
"You came as a tongue of flame vivid red"
"Come as a shadow instead"
Why didn't you set the needle right, Govind?
Instead of fixing this broken needle...
...he keeps dusting the same stuff all over again
Have you at least cleaned the room?
Yes, sir
Govinda, how are you?
Fine, sir How are you?
Here you are
Let Shankar and Rafiq stay in the room down here
Aravind and Balaji can take the room on the 1st floor
And the adjacent room Krishna and Ram-
How insensitive!
I spoke out of sheer habit
All 3 of you share the same room
Be ready in the morning
Shiva, I asked you to guard the check post
And you are here?
The 40 pages notebook is overflowing with your name
That's why I came here
So soon?
I'll send dinner
Don't take the trouble
We'll cook ourselves
If you cook who will eat it?
I'll send you a gourmet meal
Rabbit curry
No need, bro
We don't even need Govindan
I think you boys have got some plan up your sleeve
I'll see you in the morning
See you, Varadha
Shiva, drive carefully
"Shall I blabber Jibber jabber?"
"Words from your mouth Shall I pull out the truth?"
"Is the wind gushing with frenzy? Love flustered; on a sprinting spree"
"A man who is married His freedom is buried"
"Tell me if he can sleep in peace Show this man to me please"
"The bond that ties you and me Hearts that beat rhythmically"
"A friendship sprinkled with laughter We vote for it heartily ever after"
"No use of a fat salary Assets don't accrue, sorry"
"A wife is a pain in all ways Tormenting her spouse always"
"Ignore, why think of all this? Twirl your moustache in bliss"
"Shall I blabber Jibber jabber?"
"Words from your mouth Shall I pull out the truth?"
"Is the breeze blowing in fury? Love perturbed; on a running spree"
"If you do something wrong accept it, be strong!"
"Don't run away altogether Change yourself for the better"
"If you want to become a seer Smart and sharp as a spear"
"You have to be a blockhead to later get enlightened"
"Learn to let go Don't follow"
"On this earth who is immortal Give me one good example"
"Most welcome My dear friend, come"
"Learn to ignore everything Only joys start gathering"
"Only 1 lifetime we get Let's live it to the fullest"
"Why look at another person and change without reason?"
"Our humble side we'll show to strangers we don't know"
"But our friend we will endlessly tease and taunt mercilessly"
"Tap your fingers with fervor Have we missed a beat ever?"
"Sing along Hum this song"
"Say 'get out' to all the rest Praise be to friendship forever best"
"Shall I blabber Nonsense I jabber?"
"Words from your mouth Shall I pull out the truth?"
"Is the wind blustery like a banshee? Love bothered; on a bolting spree"
"Shall I blabber Nonsense I jabber?"
"Words from your mouth Shall I pull out the truth?"
"Is the breeze howling violently? Love distressed; on a dashing spree"
Aiyo!
Whaaat?
We've run out of cooking gas
I checked just now
No gas?
What about our din-ner?
'I'll go for sure, dear'
Call Varadhan
I'm staaarving
No signal
How is he able to talk?
His network gets good signal
Call from his phone
Give me your phone
What happened to those frit-ters we bought?
'Once I am free, I'll go'
'Okay, dear'
Who can it be so late at night?
Why aren't you opening the door?
Nutcase!
How are you, Ayesha?
I'm doing good
I called you
But your phone was switched off
I wanted to see you but I had to leave for Malaysia all of a sudden
I just got back a few-
That's okay
I know to take care of myself
How awkward!
I kept expecting you
It took you so long to visit this place
I got caught up in work
We found time only now
What a surprise seeing you
How did you know we were here?
Govind told me
That's why I brought dinner
- Why take all this trouble? - May be you can forget me
But I haven't forgotten you
Are you married, Ayesha?
Come in, Ayesha Lay the table for us
Are you brainless?
How can you ask her such a question?
If you raise the topic 'Ram' or 'wedding', that's it
Let's eat
I don't want dinner
Hey! Big bro is calling you
Come on
Will you just shut up?
Let him be
You guys eat I'll bring him
What's wrong?
I don't want to eat now
Don't compel me
Okay, fine
Hello, excuse me
Don't you have a bigger plate?
All the plates are of the same size!
Take your seat
He has a 7th sense when it comes to food
Where is Aravind?
He has an upset stomach
Just stomach or is he also upset?
So you know!
Serve me some food
Only his stomach
Go ahead and serve us
How can I stay alone here?
Your house Your hometown
Why should you be scared?
I don't know anyone here
After my grandpa passed away...
...I didn't like staying alone That's why I came to Chennai
Ayesha, Ram will join you very soon
Why worry unnecessarily?
Ram, let's go
I'll see you soon
When will you get back?
Let my parents give the green signal
Next moment I'll be here
You were so sure they won't agree
How will they change their minds all of a sudden?
Ayesha, don't you trust me?
My responsibility to ensure you both get married
Okay? Let's go
See you, Ayesha
Don't go out and eat tomorrow
I'll bring food
We won't eat
Will you go home safe? Want me to come with you?
No, I can go
This is a jungle
What if a bear pounces suddenly?
I was born and brought up here
This isn't a jungle This is home to me
Ayesha, don't get me wrong
That chips packet for a midnight feast!
I've kept it on the dining table
See you
Glutton!
Foodie of the 1st order
As if you don't eat
Such a gem of a girl
What to do?
Not lucky
What could I do if my parents didn't approve of her?
Forget it
Don't tell Varadhan about Ayesha coming over at night
Why?
If a girl her age visits us at night people here might gossip
We know Varadhan so well
Varadhan is a good chap But a blabbermouth
Plus he doesn't know Ram and Ayesha were in love
That's true Better to keep quiet
Look! He's fast asleep
It's freezing cold
You both sleep down
Balaji, Aravind and I will sleep on the bed
Thank God! I am spared this bulldozer's torture
Why do you call him a bulldozer?
When you hear Balaji snore in the middle of the night...
...you'll know what I mean
Snoring is a common phenomenon
But not at your decibel level
You can even sleep through a Jet Li film
But can't sleep through his snores
If you snore...
...I'll stuff a silencer into your nose
All the best, dude
Where are you off to?
I left the pack-et of chips downstairs
Just lie down
Where has he gone?
Not even a glass of water in this room
Krishna is still not back?
Where has he gone?
Krishna?
Krish-na...?
Balaji...wake up!
Get up, dude It's getting late
Why is he sleeping on this side?
Hey! What happened?
It's just us Why are you scared?
What happened?
How d-id I get here?
We brought you here Why are you screaming in fright?
Dude, I dreamt of ghosts last night
Hey! Only a dream, right?
Felt like a dream...it was a dream
Don't blabber
Go and get ready Varadhan will be here
Haven't eaten break-fast
Get ready
- Are you all set? - Hello, bro
Morning, Varadha
Balaji, aren't you ready as yet?
- Did you just wake up? - No, we woke him up!
Sound sleep last night, huh?
I thought I slept well
But I didn't!
Why is he confusing us?
Bro, you start the jeep See you in a bit
Go, bro
Come fast I must go for work
What happened, dude?
Break-fast...?
Is breakfast that important?
I haven't even called my wife
And he is harping about breakfast
Get ready
Let me walk in the middle
I don't want to be on the side
Fought for a window seat in the car
That's inside a car!
I'll only walk in the mid-dle
Why is he so scared?
He hasn't recovered from his ghost-dream
How can men be scared of ghosts?
I'll be scared
Proves you aren't married!
Get married soon
Will marriage cure a person of phasmophobia?
If you get married you'll get used to spirits!
Balaji, was it the 2nd or 3rd step?
Don't tease me I'm al-ready tense
Don't be tense
Next time you are spooked by spirits...
...close your eyes and repeat 'Karuppa' under your breath
Then the fear of ghosts will disappear, huh?
For sure
In case it doesn't...
...think no one is around and look to your right
Do the same and turn left
Repeat loudly 'There's no one here'
And look straight
Next repeat the same dialog and look behind, huh?
That's where you go wrong
Never look behind!
Go to bed early
Tomorrow we will go to Masaniamman temple
Quite an experience
I'm not coming
Why...?
I'm not coming You carry on
Don't force him
You'll be okay?
Hope you aren't scared of spirits
Catch me being scared of ghosts!
I've flirted with female spirits and made a grand escape
Make your way carefully Don't be scared
Dude, I can smell something yummy
Hey! Food
Looks like Ayesha has left dinner for us
Dude, I need 'roti'
This was the room I saw the Ludo board and dice
- I'm angry with you - Why, sweetie?
Why are you angry with me, honey bunch?
Am I not your sweetheart?
- Really...? - Yes, darling
- God help me! - My sweet muffin
1 little phone-kissy for your sweetheart
- Your turn - Me...?
Why are you making such a fuss?
Just 1 fleeting kissy
- Not on the phone - My sweet muffin...?
Don't butt in
Tell me, honey
Why do you act like this?
I am just not feeling sleepy
Did you dream about me?
'Your pudgy face is what she dreams about!'
Darling...princess?
Stop this Oscar winning performance
Shut up and sleep
No charge on my cell
Get my charger please
If it was a dream it won't be here now
Shouldn't be here either
Call got cut half way She'll bring the roof down
She'll accuse me of being unfaithful
And her imagination will run fertile
'You and your honeyed words'
Please get me the charger
Gawd! What do I do?
My phone isn't turning on
Why don't you do this?
If you keep walking into the forest for 5 kms...
...you'll find a phone booth
You can call her from there!
How can I go at this unearthly hour?
You know it's midnight
So turn off the light Zip your lips, sleep tight
Muffin and honey it seems!
'Don't show you are scared, Balaji'
I can't sleep up-stairs
Why...?
I don't have to give a reason
Okay, you sleep here Let me go up and sleep
Hey! Lis-ten to me
You also sleep here
Scaredy cat!
His mind is polluted watching too many movies
I've given 'Friend request' to spirits in Facebook, okay?
Go...have fun
You'll be flooded with 'Likes' and 'Comments'
"Whatever happens, let it be"
"In darkness let justice shine clearly"
He will snore heavily like a bulldozer
Bye-bye to 'good night'
They are in deep slumber like new born babies
Why scare everyone with stories of spirits?
Loony fellow!
Why be scared to sleep between 2 brave warriors?
It's biting cold
Is eve-ry-one asleep?
Wonder what's in store tonight
Krishna is missing!
Looks like Balaji was right
Where did Krishna disappear at this hour!
Balaji told us this same dream
He said only the 2nd step creaks loudly
Let me go to the 3rd step directly
One
Two
Three...!
Oooh...aah...ouch!
My darling...!
God help me
Krishna isn't here either
Who is it?
Who are you?
Who is it?
It's me, Ayesha
Was it you?
You could've come to collect your stuff in the morning
I was nearby on some other work
But I must say you're a gutsy girl
I've come this far Let me take it
- Go home safe - Okay...okay
I'm scared to go to the loo alone
She walks alone through the forest at this hour
When did Krishna come back?
'I can see a light flashing'
This is Ram's room
How is my mobile here?
It's charging
Maybe Rafiq charged my mobile here?
Buttercup, I'll call you right away
Charged only 10%
Let me charge it for some more time
I might as well sleep here?
If I had known there is a separate bed here...
...I could've brought my darling along too
'God! I should-not see any more spirits'
Chee! Ghost
Aren't you sleeping?
No
I'm sca-red So I'm unable to sleep
What's your reason?
Just like that I'm not feeling sleepy
'Maybe he is the spir-it I saw'
Shall we look at the pictures we took today?
'Elusory'
'Illusory'
'Imaginary'
I can hear my phone ring
Could it be my Bujjima?
It turned off!
Not turning on
It was just now turned off How can it ring?
Switched off again
I'm unable to switch it on
(garbled sound)
'It's making a weird sound'
'Could it be the ghost?'
'Next time you are spooked by spirits...'
'...close your eyes and repeat 'Karuppa' under your breath'
Karuppa
Karuppa...!
Karuppa...!!
Hey! Rafiq
Open the door, Balaji
'Will marriage cure a person of phasmophobia?'
'For sure'
'In case it doesn't...'
'...think no one is around and look to your right'
'Do the same and turn left'
'Repeat loudly 'There's no one here' and look straight'
There's no one here
It's just me
Believe it
(phone rings)
(ringing continues)
'Look to your left'
'Should I look behind?'
What happened?
Ask him what happened
Shankar
Sh-an-kar...?
I'm shit scared
Why don't you go and ch-eck?
Hey! You are better off than me
The spirit showed up only here
It scared the hell out of me in the resort in Madras
We have identified the spirit
Yeah
Who is it?
Hey! I see double images of Krishna here?
That isn't Krishna
- Ram...? - Yes
The one standing next to Krishna is Ram's spirit
Spirit...?
Then Krishna is the gh-ost
At night...
...he goes somewhere
Bloody morons!
You are all to blame Is this trip so important?
Why ask me?
It was Krishna who plan-ned this trip
Asked me to con-vince all of you
Krishna planned this trip?
Yes
Rafiq and Aravind have some differ-ence of opinion
He plan-ned this trip for them to resolve it
Hey! We fought over something really stupid
Anyhow we patched up
Did you notice something?
Krishna refused to come to the temple
That's right
There's no doubt
Krishna is the medium
Ram's spirit is in his brother's body
Who is that?
What...?
Banging has stopped now
Who was that?
K-kri-shna
Krishna...?
Is he manifesting as Krishna or Ram now?
Aravind is sleeping up-stairs
Let's wake him up and tell him what happened
Let's go up
Be careful
Let's make a dash
Stop
Open the door
Lock the door
Open the door
Why did you shut the door on his face?
Krishna is possessed
He is wild with rage
- Think it's Ram's spirit - Ram's spirit?
Don't blabber Go back to bed
Hey! Listen to us
Krishna is possessed by Ram's spirit
When he was alive he tor-tured us be-cause of that girl
Is he tor-turing us even now?
He is such a bloody coward
If he couldn't convince his parents...
...why did he fall in love?
Then why kill himself?
All because of Ayesha
She lured Ram
Don't speak ill of her
You don't know, Aravind That girl is the sole cause
He died because of her
Ram has come back as a spirit to see that girl
As if everything is hunkydory...
...she left him high and dry
And she's leading a carefree life
Instead of Ram Ayesha should've died
Hey! I told you not to speak ill of her, right?
Aravind! Why is your voice sounding weird?
How does it affect you if we mal-ign her?
I am scared
Call him
I'm spooked
I am terrified
He's sitting awkwardly
I told you not to speak ill of Ayesha, right?
"Failure in love dispiritedly Thirst unquenched within me"
"I'll be back in the breeze Time will be the referee"
I want only Aravind
Not any of you
Ram, Aravind is our friend
He isn't my friend
He is a traitor
He has to die
And he has to die today
With my own bare hands
Aravind...listen
Open the door
Will you open now or not?
That was a ghost of a knock out!
Why did you shut me out?
- Playing the fool? - Very funny!
All our nerves and veins are somersaulting
Playing indeed!
What has happened to Aravind?
He isn't Aravind
He is your brother Ram
Are you all out of your mind?
You'll get it real hard from me
We already got all of that!
You keep disappearing at night
I saw some figure slinking in the dark
I went to check
The door shut of its own accord
I knocked at the window pane
You scooted as if you saw some spirit
Sorry, dude
We thought you are the ghost That's why we pushed you out
But the spirit has got into Aravind
What do you mean?
Look at the snaps we clicked this morning
What is this?
Bare truth
'Aravind is a traitor'
'He has to die'
Saying this aloud he fainted
My suspicions are right
So you already knew something is spooky, huh?
I knew
But I didn't think Ram would be behind this
What happened to Aravind?
7 months ago...
...Aravind's mother called me saying he has a problem
'I went to his house'
'I tried talking to him'
'But he was very violent'
'Beyond a stage unable to control him...'
'...we had to admit him in a hospital'
'He was treated for 2 months'
'Doctor told us Ram's suicide is the erratic cause of his behavior'
'Your son is affected by Ram's suicide'
'He blames himself and feels guilty about Ram's demise'
'The trauma of Ram's untimely death has reduced Aravind to this state'
'He is kind of back to normal'
He's normal now
So we won't have any recurrent problems, right?
It is in your son's hands
If he shouldn't be obsessing about what happened here...
...it is best to send him to some other state or even abroad
Thinking a change of country would help...
...we sent him to Malaysia to take care of the family business
Why d-id you hi-de all this from me?
We knew Aravind was troubled about something
But we thought one day he would tell us himself
He came back a month ago
There wasn't any problem
That's true
But our doctor felt only if he is in a normal atmosphere...
...we can be sure if he is cured completely
So he started attending functions and parties
Then why did you organize this trip?
Before his wedding, we wanted to test if he was really cured
What the hell do you think of your-self?
We'll be your gui-nea pigs!
You wanted to go on a trip
Did I say a trip with spi-rits?!
Don't be stupid
His intentions were good
So now you are supporting him?
Will you be quiet for a while?
Get lost!
I don't know what's happening here
But I don't feel good about leaving Aravind alone
What can we do?
You saw him, didn't you?
He looks poss-essed
What crap!
He is just disturbed mentally
You'll believe spirits But you won't trust your friend?
You do what you want I won't come anywhere near him
Don't be mad
You may not believe in spi-rits and super-natural
But after all this...
...I'm terrified
My phone suddenly stopped working
You saw how the win-dow shut of its own acc-ord with a bang
Don't say it was the wind I'll be really piss-ed
He has limbs, right? Did he come from the wall or what?
I would have reacted the same way if I had been in Krishna's shoes
We shouldn't leave Aravind alone
What's wrong with you?
You're also gang-ing up with him?
So what if it IS a spirit?
It is 1 against 4 of us
Why are you dying of fright?
You both stay here We will handle it
Don't act too smart He's our friend too
But I am not as brave as you
So what's the plan?
First let us leave this place
We can admit him in a hospital, church or temple
All this is not feasible at all
Leave me out of this
You and your mad ideas!
Fat hopes
Let us call Varadhan
That's a damn good idea We'll call Varadhan
Let me go fetch him You keep an eye on Aravind
You said 4 of us against him
Now we are only 3 of us
As if 3 of you can't combat 1 guy?
You're turning the tables on us
Why should you go into the forest all by yourself now?
I can take care I'll be fine
What is he doing now?
He is still unconscious
Let him be
Lock him in
It's pitch dark
What was that noise?
Let me call Varadhan
No signal
Who was that?
'In my petrified state whatever food I uploaded is about to get downloaded'
'He's busy munching potato chips dipped in water!'
Where did I save his number?
No bloody signal
'Why are you calling me at this time of night?'
Varadha, Krishna speaking Can you hear me?
'Tell me, bro I can hear you'
Something has got into Aravind
'Aravind-'
I am on my way to your place
Where are you?
'You are coming here? I'll come over there'
I'm Krishna here Can you hear me?
'I can hear you'
'Tell-'
'Bro, be right there I'll come now'
'You've taken our normal route, right?'
'Stay right there'
'Krishna...?'
Thank God!
Damn!
What was that?
Just the clock
I'm scared
When will Krishna be back?
He'll be here soon, chill
I need to pee
You...g-go!
'Krishna...bro?'
You came back at least now
How about this idea?
Let's lock Aravind in the house
Shall the 3 of us wait outside the house?
We will be dinner for all the wild animals out there
Aravind will only hit us But the beasts will bite us
Hit or bite?
Bite is better
Ram's target is only Aravind
How can we leave Aravind alone at this hour...!
Only the 4 of us were ag-ainst Ram's love
His parents asked us to con-vey it to Ram
He also listened to us
Then why sho-uld Ram kill Aravind?
I don't get it either
Let's see what Ara-vind is upto
- Let's go - I'm not coming
Hey! I'm there, right? Come along
I'm not coming Listen to me
Why are you shoving me in front?
'Let Lord Muru-ga's spear protect me from danger'
'Let it be of timely assistance'
'With His sharp glance let sins powder to dust at once'
'Let the Lord's influence remove all hind-rance'
'May black-magic and en-mity flee'
'May evil spirits-'
Did you forget the mantra, Balaji?
'Let gho-sts whose mouths are like fur-nace'
'Let ghouls that ren-der me speech-less'
Hey! Keep quiet
I can't stop trembling after seeing 1 ghost
You're calling out varieties of demons!
Just shut up and proceed
- You go - I'm not going
You go first
Follow
Door is op-en
Shall we shut the door and just leave?
We will all step in-side together
He isn't here
I can hear dice rolling from that room
Sp-orts room
Last night in my dre-am I saw the ludo bo-ard game
He and his jinxed dream!
Watch out
He's here
Yes, he is here
You both talk to him Don't let him know you're scared
I'll go and-
Are you going back home?
No...you keep chatting with him
I'll go, get a rope
Let's grab him like a chicken
- How is my idea? - Idea sounds good
I'll get the rope You chat with him
What if he does something?
So you know, eh?
- He's there to support you - This fellow?
When d-id I say I'll be with you?
I'm go-ing with you to bring the rope
We need 2 people here
One is enough to bring the rope
Keep talking...talking
He's leaving us in the lurch
Don't know if he's a hu-man or a de-mon now!
Gawd! He is a bad spirit
Why are you screaming, Rafiq?
I hate raised voices
I'm your best friend, right?
I'm not Aravind
Then you are Ram
Ram, I'm your best friend too
Why should Ram's friend worry about Aravind?
Why should I-
Why should I worry about Aravind?
I'm worried about myself
I'm very scared I'm leaving
Please let me go
Then you aren't worried about me, dude?
This 'me' refers to...
...Ram or Aravind?
Whom will you agree with?
But you've become articulate after being possessed!
I'm petrified
Let me go, please I can't handle this
Play a game with me
I'll let you go
I don't know the rules and regulations of this game
Climb up the ladder
Slide down the snake
Roll the dice
Once you get down to a game...
...friend or foe, shouldn't make a difference
Slice...and chop to pieces
Why are you using violent words like 'slice' and 'chop' for just a game?
I'm very scared, dude
I'll leave
I won't step this side ever again
Why are you scared? I'm your friend
If you're a normal friend I won't be scared
How can I not be scared of a paranormal friend?
Don't worry yourself to death
Only the person who caused my death will die
I won't harm you
More than my happiness...
...my parents who thought their self respect is priority
Listen to my idea
He will change his mind
My friends who joined hands with my parents and refused to help me
More than all this...
...one who backstabbed me in the most unexpected manner
Aravind
Isn't Aravind your friend too?
Whose friend is he?
Common friend to all of us
No
- NO...! - Give me the rope
He is a traitor
He joined hands with my family and cheated me
I died because of him He'll die because of me
He'll be killed with my own bare hands
And he will die today!
Do you know why?
Hold him
Grab him
Hold him down and tie him
Got caught...?
Who got caught?
You've now fallen into my trap
What happened, dude?
Here...use this
Inhale...take a puff
Are you okay? Feeling better?
Hey! Let go of me
What did you say?
Aravind is a friend?
What did he do to you?
Trickery
Treachery
He is responsible for my death
'Dude...?'
'Ayesha is waiting for you in Valparai'
'Both of you spend a few days together'
'Then your parents will know the value of your love'
'Shall I say something?'
'Something special, my darling'
'My precious prince'
'Your eyes are splicing Expressive and enticing'
'Truly tempting'
What happened? What did your parents say?
They don't approve of our love
What did you tell them?
I love you
"Shall I say something? Something special, my darling"
"Your eyes are splicing Expressive and enticing"
"Truly tempting"
"Like the tears lingering with liberty in the alcove of my eyes covertly"
"I wanted to share my life as your dear wife"
"You made me feel whole What did you do to my soul?"
"You made my heart skip a beat You made my life complete?"
"When flowers nod their heads, dear how can religion interfere?"
"For our hands to entwine is this daily dream of mine"
"Be it dream or reality you are my only sanctuary"
"Language of the eyes will do My life will be many a hue"
"In splits of laughter, lips will rejoice Fresh avenues will unfold new joys"
Do I look good?
With 'kumkum' and flowers, you'll look even more beautiful
I'm not saying this as Ram but as an admirer
"When burning desires grow inside I want to pluck the clouds in delight"
"When my eye lids close and open for a second I fly in the horizon"
"When I cross your porch, dear the earth rotates in the slowest gear"
"When your glance falls on me my heart melts soulfully"
"My footprints in your path follow will the world let me walk with you?"
Ram, let's go
Okay, I'll come back later
You ganged up with them and did this to me
How could you!
Ram, I swear I didn't know
They lied to me too
We had planned to get married next week
- I can't live without Ayesha - Don't I know that?
None of you understand my love
You ganged up with my parents-
Don't worry about anything
I'm there for you
I trust only 2 people in my life
One is Ayesha and the other is you
It's my responsibility to bring you and Ayesha together
Tomorrow my dad's friend is coming with his daughter
If we like each other, they want the engagement immediately
Only if you like her...! Tell them you don't
That's not the issue
If they like me they will go ahead
Do something, dude
If the wedding is fixed nothing can be done
Don't fret over anything
Only the engagement is your problem?
I'll make sure it doesn't happen
Be ready at 11:00 a.m tomorrow
I'll come and pick you up
How will they do anything without the groom?
Your parents will deride and dissect me
I'll do it for you
You don't create a scene
You'll be here at 11 for sure, right?
I'll be there at 11 sharp
Okay, I'll take leave
'Please marry the girl your family fixes for you'
Why have you changed your mind in the last minute?
'I thought intently about it'
'None of your family members like Ayesha one bit'
'You should be happy after you are married, dude'
'Your parents poured their hearts out to me'
'I somehow feel...'
'...you can't be happy at all with Ayesha as your wife'
'For your own happiness don't ruin that girl's life'
'It will be a grave mistake'
'Just forget this chapter in your life'
'Mystic Psychic'
Thank God Brief respite!
Today is July 12th
He has to die on the same day I died
I'll take away his life at 12'o clock
Don't...!
Today is my wife's birthday
But I came with you on this trip thinking my friends are more important
Why did Aravind behave like this?
Wh-at did he do?
He promised to pick up Ram but ditched him in the last minute
Wait for some more time
Ram will anyhow kill Aravind
Aravind's spirit will possess someone else
We can then find out the whole truth from that spirit!
I like listening to ghost stories
But if the spirit narrates it I'll be a little scared
You get it, right?
Don't snub or sneer Start your prayer
I'm bugged as it is there's no network
Krishna, watch your step
Come...come
Krishna, what happened?
Why are you sitting here leaving the door open?
We didn't open the door
Wild animals will creep in
A goddamn ghost has crept in
And you're worried about beasts?
- What happened? - I got hurt
- You too? - Sit down
Sit here
Hey...listen to me
Do you know something?
We thought Aravind was helping Ram in his love, right?
But Aravind was the reason for your brother's suicide
What are you blabbering?
Aravind told me the story in Ram's voice just now
I believe on the engagement day...
...he bluffed saying he was helping Ram with his love
Aravind didn't let him go anywhere
Ram committed suicide
What wrong did Aravind do?
He only did what we expected
If Ram committed suicide, what can he do?
He should have fought for his love
If he commits suicide...
...will all his problems be resolved?
My brother was a coward
Don't be so loud
How can you get scared of a 'ghost of a friend'?
I am here for you, right?
Where is Aravind?
Aravind is upstairs
- Then the spirit? - On top of Aravind
That's very confusing
Do you know what this is?
Yes, I do
H-ip thread
Looks too small
Not tying it around your hip you're hold-ing it in your hand
This is Goddess Masani's amulet
If you're holding this...
...ghost, ghoul, demon, devil, spirit, sprite
...you name it, every evil spirit will run away in total fear
Really?
You think I'll lie?
From Valparai to Aliyar route
Pitch-dark
At Suvarkal bend, do you know what was waving to me?
- What...? - Demoness Mohini!
I showed my chivalrous side to that beauty in a deserted place
I offered her a lift
You mean the she-demon?
I was a youngster Bold and daring
Was this some 10 or 15 years ago?
Last year
Wait
Continue
Then I smelt the scent of jasmine
When I inched near her to kiss her while taking a bend...
...out popped two
What?
I know
I assumed the same
Her fangs!
That's all
Only half an inch gap between neck and mouth
It edged close to me
The moment I kept the amulet near its nose...
...it turned into ash
What hap-pened after that?
Then I dusted the ashes, cleaned the jeep and came
Is this believable?
I'll tie this amulet now
If that ghost doesn't run away like an Alsatian dog...
...I'll change my name
Bro, are you insured?
Bro, ask that question to the ghost!
Don't ask me...okay?
Watch out
D-d-don't...!
I'll go right now
'You can be a spirit to anyone'
'But to me you are only an Alsatian dog!'
'Stop...don't run'
Looks like Val-parai Vara-dhan is an extremely short temp-ered man
Trying to control the spirit, I hope he doesn't thrash Aravind
What can we do?
In such cases, only crude treatment will work
Let him go full throttle
Did you get any snacks to eat?
Keep quiet
With all this fear I am hun-gry
Want to take the apple in Aravind's room?
'I won't spare you'
Hungry it seems!
No need
That was one hell of a back breaking task
He's back
I went to hell and came back
- Don't underestimate Varadhan - Looks like he succeeded
Height of violence!
Even the demoness Mohini was dazzled by him!
What, bro?
You look misshapen as if you cycled against the wind
Isn't it natural for my hair to get mussed up in a fist fight?
Especially when I had to fight a ghost
If censor board had watched this they would've given AAA
All that's fine Where's the amulet?
Tied it
You did?
I did
I tied it on his left wrist
But it took so long to change it to the right wrist
You are a true he-ro, bro
Me, right?
First bring your friend outside
I'll step out for a breath of fresh air
Bring him out
Handle him with care
They seem to be scaredy cats
He wants fresh air in this cold weather?
Thought as much
That's just the wind Don't get scared
Even after tying the sacred amulet it's showing its true colors
Poor boys!
Bro, I'll wait outside Bring him down fast
Okay, bro
Nothing to worry
Is this also the wind, bro?
Hey! What?
Why invite trouble?
'What you got up here isn't enough, huh?'
My God! No electricity
He beat me to a pulp even when it was well lit!
Aravind's life will be intact only for 30 minutes
After that...
...his life will belong to me
Either Aravind should die
Otherwise...
...I should lead the life I lost
...through him
You can all go
I won't harm any of you
Leave now
Bro, don't glare at me like that
If you want to curse me go ahead, right now
You claimed you tied the amulet
Of course I tied the amulet
Looks like I forgot to tie the knot!
You said you tied it on the left and then changed it to the right wrist
Did I say-
He was the one who hit me left, right and in the center
Do you know how powerful his blows were?
- It's hurting - Where is that amulet?
It fell down somewhere there
What a humbug!
It's either Ram or us
You must be joking
The one upstairs is my friend
I'm alive, right? He should also live
It's time I left
How can you go? We must get him
Why are you disturbing him now?
Listen, let's take him early tomorrow morning
Who is coming with me?
I'm not coming Don't compel me
Hey! I found the amulet
Not here either
Can't find him anywhere
Hey! He's here
Where...?
He is walking towards the jungle
Stop
Krishna, go away
I will not
Aravind killed your brother
The one who died maybe my brother
But the one who is alive now is my friend!
Hold him...!
Listen to me, Krishna
Don't...don't
Krishna, listen to me
I didn't hit you
Don't go...he's a goddamn ghost
Don't go near him
Why are you doing this?
He is your friend
How can you do this?
He's getting scared of the amulet
Let's surround him
Throw the charm here
Give it to me
Don't drop it
My target is only Aravind
Not any of you
Shankar...buffalo Why don't you grab him?
Don't drop it, Balaji
Nab him
Tie the amulet on his wrist
Rafiq, run
Pin him down
Let go of me
Hold his arm
We have to tie it
Tie it...quick
I can't bear this weight
Hold his hands
Don't let go
Tied, huh?
Super, bro
You were awesome
Get up
Don't push your weight on me
How much longer to 12 midnight?
20 minutes left
Please get to the main road fast
I have an even more important job to do
What can be more important than this?
He has brought us here!
Why did you bring us to Ayesha's house?
We have saved Aravind
But Ram fell in love with Ayesha Shouldn't we save her?
Were Ram and Ayesha in love?
Yes, bro
You weren't aware of it
Anyway she isn't here She left this place long ago
Ay-esha is here
For the past 2 days she has been bring-ing us food
Are you serious?
I swear, bro
Ayesha left this place a year ago
In fact 2 days after Ram died
Ayesha knew about Ram's death?
Yes, she knew
Aravind, listen to me Please don't go there
Wait, didn't you hear me?
- Please listen - Aravind, wait
The whole place is dilapidated
Filled with cobwebs
Watch your step
Careful, Balaji
Rafiq, come this side
Come over here
What is this?
Ayesha's diary
'To live with the person you love is a blessing'
'Not everyone will be blessed with such a boon'
'But Lady Luck is smiling on me'
Auspicious time is 12:00 noon?
He's probably worried you haven't shown up
'Ram weds Ayesha'
'With 'kumkum' and flowers, you'll look even more beautiful'
Poor fellow!
What happened?
Why hasn't he come as yet?
I tried calling him
He didn't pick up
Maybe he changed his mind?
What are you saying?
Okay, you be brave I'll go and fetch him
What?
What happened?
Tell me what happened
Please tell me what happened
You've been tricked, Ayesha
What...?
I believe Ram liked that girl
And has accepted the proposal
You go back home, Ayesha
I'll come to Valparai later
Let's talk things over then
Please go now
Make sure she gets on to the right bus
Where the hell did Shiva go?
Where are you coming from at this unearthly hour?
I had gone for a few days to my friend's place
Oh! I see
You know Ram, Aravind's friend
What happened to him?
He passed away!
Oh my God! How come?
Don't know
He was in love with a girl
I believe his family didn't approve
He committed suicide
How could he end his life?
'I don't know anyone here'
'After my grandpa passed away...'
'...I didn't like staying alone That's why I came to Chennai'
'Ayesha, Ram will join you very soon'
'Why worry unnecessarily?'
'Ram, let's go'
Please come back soon
I'm sending him trusting you
I'll take care of everything
I can't live without Ram
You know that, right?
If Ram's parents don't approve...
...I'll marry you
Hey! That was just a joke
'A wound can be treated with an ointment'
'But pain has no balm'
'To forget and forgive...'
'...what he did wasn't a mistake'
'Betrayal!'
'I haven't forgotten our carefree laughter'
'Nor my nonstop tears all alone in solitude'
'He gave me hope...'
'...but took away my entire existence'
'I wanted to live for love'
'But now for the same love...'
'...I've decided to sacrifice my life'
'My dream'
'My happiness'
'My Ram'
'He has destroyed my life!'
'I won't rest without ruining his life'
'Aravind...!'
'You've sought your own hell'
'What you started...'
'...I will finish'
'But not today'
'On July 13th'
'The day you built a tomb for my happiness'
'That's the day I will build your tomb'
'You should die'
Run for your life
Aravind, I warned you
Run...run
Hurry up
Let's first leave this place
Didn't you know about this earlier, Varadha?
Get into the jeep
Come fast
Quick, get in
Get in...get in
All of you get inside
Start the jeep Quick...quick
Get in soon
- Hurry up - What's wrong now?
It isn't moving!
Press hard
Aravind, whatever happens, don't remove the amulet
Start...move
Stop, bro
- Get down - Let's go
Hey! Ayesha
"Destroy you, I will"
"I'll snuff your breath still"
"Like a tempest I'll descend"
"Death will be the end"
Bro...!
"Love's failure Thirst for closure"
"I'll roam in the wind's power Time will provide the answer"
They are flying in all directions
He's looking at us
Enough...!
Enough is enough
Already...
...I've lost my best friend
I don't want to lose you guys too
Don't remove the amulet
Please don't...Aravind
Don't remove the charm
I have to die
I should die
Instead of dying out of sheer guilt everyday...
...I might as well die once for all
1 glass tea, bro
Ayesha, you wait inside
I'll take this call and join you
Hey, come here
Take her inside
Please come
'Ram is calling!'
'Let me tease him for a few minutes'
Dude, listen to me without getting perturbed
'This won't work'
'Please marry the girl your family fixes for you'
'I thought about it'
'None of your family members like Ayesha one bit'
'You should be happy after you're married'
'Your parents poured their hearts out to me'
'I somehow feel...'
'...you can't be happy at all with Ayesha as your wife'
'For your own happiness don't ruin that girl's life'
'It will be a grave mistake'
'Just forget this chapter in your life'
Let him stew for a while
Bro, it's 11:30 already Please bring him here
- I'll go, wait - It's getting late
'Auspicious time is 12:00 noon?'
'He's probably worried you haven't shown up'
Let him worry
There should be some thrill, right?
When they narrate their wedding story to their kids, shouldn't it be interesting?
Won't he call?
But I've blocked his number, right?!
'Poor fellow!'
It is his birthday today
Ayesha is his birthday gift
Can anyone give a better gift than this for his friend?
'What happened? Why hasn't he come as yet?'
'I tried calling him He didn't pick up'
'Maybe he changed his mind?'
'What are you saying?'
You didn't let me talk to him saying it should be a surprise
What do we do now?
'Okay, you be brave I'll go and fetch him'
'What?'
Ram has left all of us and gone
What do you mean?
He went into his room to change his clothes
He slit his wrist and died
We are going to the hospital now
You come there
'What happened?'
'Tell me what happened?'
'I'm asking you, right?'
'What happened?'
'Please tell me what happened'
I thought you won't be able to bear it
So I hid Ram's death from you
I lied to you that he ditched you
I am to blame for playing a prank
Both your lives were-
I know the whole truth now
It is not your fault
What's friendship?
To sacrifice one's life is friendship
I'll give my life
1 minute left for 12 midnight
I didn't come at 11:00 that day
But today I've come a minute earlier
You want only my life, right?
Take it
Let them go
But...
...I have only one desire
Please tell me I am forgiven
When I die...
...I wish to die as your friend
Not as a backstabber!
'After Few Weeks'
Enough of admiring yourself...come
Wait, I'll come
We are late for the engagement
Don't drag me
He did it, right?
You are blushing a bright purple
(indistinct chatter)
(phone rings)
Hello...tell me, Varadha
How are you?
How is Aravind doing?
Is the engagement going well?
Please ask the bride to come
Varadhan called
Hey, you didn't show us the girl and kept it as a surprise, right?
Smooth operator!
My son who was refusing to get married...
...the moment he saw your daughter's photo
...said 'yes' the next second
My daughter wasn't interested in marriage
Suddenly one day she showed me your son...
...and said she'll marry only him!
Why are you all dilly-dallying?
Find out if the bride and groom like each other?
Do you like the groom?
Can we fix the wedding next month itself?
'Either Aravind should die'
'Otherwise...'
'...I should lead the life I lost'
'...through him'
I like him
I like her
