'On the night of the new moon,'
'bring Rudra to this well.'
'Or else...'
'Or what?'
[cryptic vocalisation]
'Or you can take your sister's dead body'
'floating in this well!'
[gasping]
Meera! What happened?
Meera! Meera!
- Ishu... - Hear me out.
- Ishu! - Who did you see?
Ishu, nothing will happen to you.
Nothing will happen.
- Was it Ishani? - Nothing will happen.
- Thakuma? - Dakini!
It was Dakini!
She wants me to take you to the well on the new moon night.
[monitor beeping]
[dreadful music playing]
What happened? Meera!
Meera!
- This blueprint! - The house's original blueprint.
Which room is this one next to your bedroom?
[spluttering] This room is only on the blueprint.
There's no such room in the house.
There are some old pipelines behind it that make noise.
[intense music playing]
Ishani and Dakini are in the red chamber!
'Save Either Rudra Or Ishani On New Moon Day'
One word vanished at the break of dawn.
This means it's Dakini's warning as well as a countdown.
Today is the new moon day.
[eldritch cry]
'Save Either Rudra Or Ishani On New Moon'
[solemn music playing]
[oil dripping]
Consider this contraption as an hourglass.
Once the oil finishes,
Dakini will hunt Ishani's soul down.
So, I have only until then to find Ishani!
This means, to find Dakini's remains
and burn them...
[coughs]
This is all the time you have.
What's going on?
Your sister's life is in danger,
and you're indulging in baba's antics!
These aren't antics, Mr. Choudhury.
Baba is the only person who can lead us to the red chamber.
He can do nothing. I'll break that wall down, okay?
Hang on a second!
Just keep your logic aside for a while!
Tantra can't be overcome by might!
My father tried to save you, right?
The mantras got burned!
Baba is the only one who can open the door to the red chamber.
When there's no door over there, what is he going to open?
There's a brick wall there.
A wall lies between your perception and the truth.
You're at it again!
Be a little logical...
To hell with your logic!
Just like Ishani's shadow, Dakini is stealing her soul too.
I have time only until sunset.
As the new moon night starts, Dakini will kill my sister,
and you care about your logic!
You...
Fine! Do what you want. I won't stop you.
But if my dad finds out about this baba,
he'll throw all of us out!
He won't find out.
We'll keep the family members away from you.
Yes. Go to the red chamber and finish Dakini
and save Ishani.

Must I get her to do homework as well?
Why? Didn't you say
you missed work and Kolkata and wanted to go back?
This is also work. Do it.
If I do this too, what will you do?
Excuse me!
Have you seen the size of this place?
There's no help or maid here.
Do you think the house runs by itself
and food for so many people appears out of thin air?
When you knew she had homework to do,
you should've accommodated the other tasks accordingly.
I have an important conference call. I'm going.
Dad, please!
Please help me do my Math homework.
Mom doesn't know Math.
Aren't you smarter than Mom?
Okay.
Grab your books. We'll go to the study.
No!
Uh... I mean
- the study hasn't been cleaned yet. - Can't you do one thing right?
Koyal, get your Math book out.

"Hail Lord Shiva."
Good heavens!
The smell of blood isn't leaving my hands.
[Bengali] What do I do?
Let me wash my hands again.
Hey, Piyali! Where are you going?
Will you wash your hands again?
You've washed your hands numerous times since morning.
You've done a lot of work.
- Sit here. - Huh?
Watch my magic now. I'll be back in a minute.
[Bengali] Oi, what are you up to?
Look. I've made amazing arrangements to give you a manicure.
[whimsical music playing]
[clinking]
- I've added to the work, right? - Hmm.
No! Let it be.
I'll get some paper. That ought to do it.
No!
Don't get up again.
Sit here. I'll go and fetch the paper.
I'll be right back.
[Mahamrityunjaya Mantra playing]
"Hail Lord Shiva."
[cracking]
[conch blowing]
"Hail Lord Shiva."
Pablo, I don't get it.
Why would Bengalis eat at a Bengali restaurant?
Here's the thing. You're not cut out for the restaurant business, hmm?
Think of something else. Let me go.
[spluttering] Uncle!
Listen to the entire plan.
People will feel drowsy after having
'Ilish Maach', 'Aloo Posto' and rice.
And what will they do when they want to sleep?
What will they do?
- They'll sleep. - [spluttering] Hang on, Uncle!
We won't let the customers leave already.
Come with me for a second.
Sit here, I'll explain everything. Please sit.
Look.
[mouthing words]
- And... - Enough!
Your idea is nonsensical.
I don't want to hear any more of your ideas.
I'm going out.
Okay. By the time you're back, I'll think of another idea.
I'm going out and I'll be back late.

'Ayaan, you can't go inside. Dakini lives there.'
'There's logic even to illogical statements, sir.'
'Learn to show some faith.'
'Or life will be very hard to live.'
- 'Ayaan! - Ah!'
'Do you want proof?'
'You are the proof, Mr. Choudhury!'
'Have you seen these marks?'
'Dakini has already made him a target.'
'She wants you, Rudrapratap Choudhury!'
'You're a reincarnation of Rudrapratap Choudhury.'
'She will go to any extent to make you hers.'
'She has waited for you for a century.'
[cryptic vocalisation]
[vocalisation fades out]
Rudrapratap got what he wanted, right?
Then what's the reason Dakini is still furious?
I can tell you what I witnessed that day.
[chains clanking]
[soft suspenseful music playing]
'Your Majesty!'
'I fulfilled all your demands.'
'You merely had to marry me.'
'Then why did you do this to me?'
'How could you betray me?'
'Enough!'
'In return for everything you gave me,'
'you took away what was most precious to me.'
'I will take your life away!'
[snickering]
'Yet you will belong to me, Your Majesty,'
'not until my last breath,'
'but until yours,'
'you can't belong to anyone else.'
'That will never happen.'
'Your voice keeps resonating in my head.'
'Seal the wall!'
'My voice can't be silenced, Your Majesty.'
'If not in this lifetime, then the next,'
'and if not in the next,'
'then in the one after that, I will wait for you, Your Majesty.'
[grunting]
'This wait shall not end until I become your wife!'
'I will make you mine, Your Majesty!'
'Hand me the bricks!'
'That will never happen!'
'Not one,'
'not two'
'and not nine!'
'I will wait for you for a hundred years!'
'And this wait will end only when I become your wife.'
'I will make you mine at all costs, Your Majesty.'
'You can't belong to anyone else.'
'You can't belong to another woman.'
'That will never happen.'
'I will never be yours.'
'Never.'
'Never!'
[menacing music playing]
[screaming]
- [groaning] - 'Ah!'
[suspenseful music building]
'No one knows what anyone is going to do.'
'Wrapped in blood,'
'this vow shall be fulfilled.'
[tense music building]
[blood dripping]
'You will belong to me.'
'You will be reborn.'
'I will find you.'
'I will take your life.'
'And then,'
'your soul and I'
'will forever stay in this Rajbari.'
'I promise you, my king.'
'You will be mine, Your Majesty.'
[clanging]
Dakini wants to fulfil her promise.
[clanging]
[eldritch cry]
[clanging continues]
What are you doing?
I'm trying to make amends
not just for the mistakes in this lifetime, but even past ones.
As in?
All of this is happening because of me.
Had I not made a promise to Dakini or had her entombed here,
none of this would have happened.
My mother, my Thakuma,
Ishani...
Everyone would have been fine.
No! Ayaan!
No! Wait! Ayaan!
Ayaan!
You are Ayaan!
You're not Rudrapratap!
It's the body that makes mistakes and the soul bears witness to it.
Our actions in one birth decide the fate of that lifetime,
after which we are reborn.
Rudrapratap paid for his sins.
That's why you came into the world.
Your opinions and values
were instilled in you by your mother and Thakuma.
You are not Rudrapratap!
Dakini wants Rudrapratap.
That's why she is trying to turn you into him.
[oil dripping, machine beeping]
[mysterious vocalisation]
'Save Either Rudra...'
The new moon day is here!
Kids, Ishani!
[menacing music playing]
Ishu! Dad!
Why is Ishani's shadow diminishing?
Because Dakini is devouring her life and soul.
Ishani is growing weaker.
Hurry up!
