- Dad - Yeah?
Why is everyone so scared of Padmini Thampuratti?
[chuckles]
If you hear her story... will you be scared, my boy?
I'm not that scared, Dad.
Okay
Long ago, in Kallur Mana,
there lived a beautiful young Thampuratti named Padmini.
With her music and her love,
Padmini Thampuratti embraced everyone alike.
To them, she was a divine beauty.
Dathan Thampuran was Padmini Thampuratti's cousin.
He was a cruel man.
He was a sinister practitioner of dark magic.
And his Mana was guarded by evil spirits.
Dathan Thampuran, her own kinsman,
desired Padmini Thampuratti...
and went to any lengths to possess her.
But all his efforts were in vain.
But her heart belonged to...
Suryan Namboothiri of Aryanattu Mana.
Skilled in martial arts and mystic lore,
Suryan Namboothiri was someone
...the young Padmini Thampuratti deeply admired.
They fell in love in their childhood...
and decided to marry and build a life together.
Suryan and Padmini's love became a torment
that stole Dathan Thampuran's sleep.
He tried every possible way to get rid of Suryan Namboothiri...
but failure followed him at every turn.
While Suryan Namboothiri... was absorbed in his prayers,
When he remained lost in his rituals...
Dathan Thampuran ensnared Padmini Thampuratti...
through another plot and killed her.
Padmini Thampuratti, who died young
with her dreams unfulfilled...
returned as a Yakshi...
and killed many in that land.
She brutally killed Dathan Thampuran as well.
Unable to live under her terror,
people fled the village.
After she became a 'Yakshi,'
that land has lost its prosperity.
With his mystic powers, Suryan Namboothiri performed an elaborate ritual...
and sealed Padmini Thampuratti into a Panchaloha idol.
Suryan Namboothiri then carried the idol,
along with his ring,
from Kallur Mana to Aryanattu Mana.
From that day on, that idol was never seen again.
Somewhere in the dark cellars of this mana...
that idol still remains.
With immense power and fury,
Padmini Thampuratti remains bound within that Panchaloha idol.
Mom
Yes?
Who's this Padmini?
Son, where did you get this from?
I heard it from my uncle... and everyone else too.
No one here dares to speak that name.
Why is it like that, Mom?
Long ago,
Padmini was a Yakshi who sought...
the total destruction of this Mana.
Even speaking about her fills everyone here with fear.
[Dig barking]
[dog barking]
Son!
[ominous music]
[eerie bird screech]
AROOPI [The Formless]
Niranj!
Son!
Niranj!!
[door slams shut]
Thank you, Uncle.
- Thank you! - What's it, dear?
Your doll fell?
[chuckles]
I never expected the project to be this well set up.
There's a lot going on here that you don't know about.
Look, our Youth Star's already here!
[chuckles]
What's with everyone...
starting gossip first thing in the morning?
- Congratulations, sir! - Thank you.
We're all so happy that you got the project.
Thanks, have a seat.
Where's our Sakshi?
Not ours... it's yours Sakshi!
[everyone chuckles]
[soft instrumental music]
Good Morning!
Good Morning, Sakshi
So only Niranjan sir gets a 'good morning', huh?
Don't we get one?
I said good morning to everyone.
[everyone chuckles]
Fine, you guys talk.
I'm leaving.
Err... I'll leave too.
Can I leave, sir?
Yeah, alright.
- See you at the office. - Yeah, sure
[soft instrumental music]
Hello?
Okay, sir
Sure, sir.
Sir?
Niranjan sir?
What's it, Malli?
Sir... are you daydreaming?
Some dreams are never enough... no matter how often you see them.
MD is asking for you.
What happened?
No idea. He wants you in his cabin.
I'll go, you can leave.
Okay
- Good Morning sir - Yea, good morning
Sir, why did you call me?
See Mr.Niranjan,
There's something I have to tell you
What's the matter, sir?
Already we have done our project.
And, it has significiant risks,
Okay
If there's no caution,
it could impact us severly.
I'm putting all my trust on you.
Sir, our team is well equipped to handle this.
There's no chance of a lapse from our side.
This project is already facing a lot of problems.
So don't take it lightly.
Sure sir, okay.
Yeah
Oh, is that how it was?
Of course!
Hi!
I'll call you on sometime
- Want a puff? - No
I've been noticing you since this morning,
What happened to you?
- Is the project stressing you out? - Not at all
Forget that
Any plans for this evening?
I don't know, Niranjan
I think you're hiding something from me.
Nothing like that
I have my own space...
I just keep moving around in it.
That's all.
I know... I won't really be there in any of it.
Anyway,
I forgot to say you something
Our colleague Ameya,
It's her birthday
And we're going.
Should I come?
Yeah, you should definitely come.
Fine, I'll come
Just give me a call. I'll be ready
[chuckles]
- Okay? - Okay
- Alright - See you in the evening
Bye, see you.
Niranjan
Son, dear?
Where are you, dear?
Where are you, my son?
Son?
Son?!
Niranjan!
Come fast, we're getting late!
Hello! I'm ready.
Oh! I forgot my keys.
No, no! Listen, we're already getting late.
Come, let's go. Come, sit.
Okay
They came. Hi!
Hi
Happy Birthday!
Thank you
Hi Ameya, Happy Birthday to you.
Best wishes

Okay, guys! Come on, it's time to cut the cake!
[birthday applause]
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you, Ameya
Happy Birthday to you!
Hey, selfie!
Really Beautiful.
Niranjan?
Sakshi, he's already had too much.
Let's leave, Niranjan.
Come, let's go.
I said come!
Come on
Why do you seem off?
Such a spectacular character you are.
What happened to you?
Nothing at all.
Maybe you're imagining it.
Or maybe after a few drinks...
I have been noticing for quite some time now.
You've been drinking too much lately.
Move, I'll help you.
That's my scooter. I'll do it.
Move!
You can't walk and you want to posh it seems
"You are my heartbeat"
"You live in every thought"
"Are you the breeze that softly touches me?"
"I'm close to you, you're close to me"
"Is that fire flashing in your eyes?"
"Like sunlight, I melt into you"
"Just to hum a single line for you"
"You're the melody I searched for in all my dreams"
"You're my wings, to rise into the sky"
"my love,"
"Stay in me, never fading"
"My heart now flies like a bird"
"You are my heartbeat"
"You live in every thought"
"Are you the breeze that softly touches me?"
"Not one, but two eyes"
"Golden sparks that hold my soul"
"When you speak, within me"
"little flowers bloom everywhere"
"When you touch me with your fingers"
"I turn into a butterfly"
"I long to hold you like a flower"
"I yearn to fall into you like rain"
"Like rivers, we flow and merge as one"
"My love, never fade within me"
"Fill me more with every passing day"
[bike engine revving]
Okay, alright.
Do you need help?
No, it's alright.
Actually, your friend...
Arjun is there, right?
It's okay, he's probably asleep.
- I'll manage it - Okay
You can leave.
Take care
[soft music playing]
Okay, good night.
[scooter revving]
Niranjan
Son!
Where are you?
Son!
[suspenseful music playing]
Niranjan
Son, where are you?
Om, salutations to the one who frees all bonds.
Om, salutations to the destroyer of evil forces.
Om, salutations to the remover of hostile knowledge and illusions.
Om, salutations to the destroyer of enemy strength and valor
Om, salutations to the nullifier of hostile mantras.
Om, salutations to the breaker of enemy yantras and spells.
Om, salutations to the destroyer of all planetary influences.
Om, salutations to the remover of all suffering.
Om, salutations to the one who moves across all worlds.
Om, salutations to the one swift as thought.
Hey
Niranjan
Hey, Niranjan!
Aren't you getting up?
Come on, get up!
Look at the time. Don't you have to go to office?
Go freshen up,
It's getting late.
You go ahead, I'll come.
Fine, do as you wish. I'm going to the office.
Niranjan
Hey Niranjan!
Inform them if you're not coming.
MD might show up here otherwise.
[soft instrumental playing]
I think this should work.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, it should be.
Niranjan
What's it, Malli?
MD was asking for you.
What happened? Any issue?
No idea.
Go and find out.
O...Okay
[suspenseful music plays]
What did you call me for, sir?
See, Niranjan
You know how things are at our Chennai office, right?
Yeah
Nothing's been set yet.
It's not just this project...
it can impact our company itself.
So handle it very carefully.
Sure, sir
Ensure there are no mistakes at all from our side.
Sir, we've taken all this into account and fully prepared our team.
That will be taken care of.
Good.
Why has the MD called you so early?
Nothing specific.
He just said if the project fails,
it could still impact the company in some way.
That's all.
[dramatic music plays]
A warm welcome to everyone,
As you all know,
[dramatic music playing]
I hope you all got an idea...
as to what is going to happen in the future industry is.
The futuristic project and...
Niranjan
Dear?
Son!?
Where are you, son?
Son!?
Niranjan?
Where are you, my son?
Son!?
Niranjan?
Son!?
So just to continue with the presentation,
It was going to be very helpful to everybody because...
we have a lot of features in it...
And I hope you all like the presentation
Thank you for listening to us
And hopefully, you will give us a good response for the presentation.
Thank you so much.
[applause]
[soft music playing]
Stop here! Stop here!
I can't hold it anymore, I need to go.
Actually,
Yeah?
Here...
Where is Mana, exactly?
Mana is right nearby.
Isn't that place abandoned for a long time?
People like us will be there now, right?
What if we get trapped if we go there?
Why take unnecessary risks?
Oh my! You!
My boss said no one has gone in there till now.
- Really? - Yeah!
Then we have to take a little risk...
to get things done, right?
Fine, let's see.
Come on, let's go there.
We'll go sit there
have a few pegs
then sleep...
and head to Mana.
Look here... such a beautiful view
Right!
Whenever the police are after me, I come here.
Really?
Take a seat here.
Anyway... let's grab a drink.
One and a half... or two?
Make it two.
Want it neat or with water?
I prefer it neat, but I'll have it with water for now.
[soft music plays]
[Dramatic music plays]
See this.
A game?
What are you, man?
This is Mana's sketch.
Do you know?
Inside this,
there's a Panchaloha idol worth crores.
Oh, really?
We've got to grab it.
If we had this,
do you know who we'd be?
Who?
We'd be filthy rich!
[chuckles]
[dramatic music plays]
Oh my, My head!
This hits hard!
Mocking at me. Stay there.
Let's lie down here for a while.
Don't make any noise. Someone might hear us.
Stupid thing!
Feels like head is rolling down.
Having a great time.
[suspenseful music plays]
Come on
See here
Oh my!!
So this is Mana?
Unbelievable, right?
This is where the Panchaloha idol is kept.
- Is it? - Yeah
- Oh my! - So we've got to grab it.
that's what we're good at, got it?
So, I have to...
Stick with me, we'll do it together.
Okay
Come, slowly.
Come, let's go.
See
This house is pretty old, isn't it?
Fresh! Super fresh, made two days ago.
What are you here for stealing or inspecting?
Come on, walk quietly.
To hell with his inspection!
Any idea how we get in?
Actually,
Boss said...
to go in through the west side.
So, which one's the west side?
No idea.
Seriously!
Got a compass with you?
Yeah right, like I'd go searching for a compass at midnight.
How did you even end up with me?
I was just sharing an idea.
Come on, walk.
Let's try this window.
Hey, what are you doing?
I was just checking if it would open.
Do we have a crowbar here?
You're trouble enough already why do we need more?
Come on, walk!
Come, come. See?
What?
Careful
Slowly, walk.
[grunts]
What happened?
Oh my!
Man, there's a nail in the wall!
What are you doing?
Oh, my back!
Feels like this was done on purpose to trap me.
If this goes on, he'll end up in a photo frame soon.
Hey! What are you doing?
I'm just trying to turn my phone off.
Ugh! Turn it off and throw it away!
I'm trying to turn it off why are you being so harsh?
I'm telling you to throw this away.
Hey, come back!
This is really annoying.
Fine, do as you wish.
Hey!
Wait! wait!
What is this, French kissing at night?
Are you up to something, huh?
What is this, some red thing?
That's Hans
Oh God! It would've been better to call someone else!
You fool!
Come on, let's go
This isn't easy to climb down like kids do.
I know that, idiot!
Do it slowly.
Oh my!
Oh no! Oh my!
Oops! What a timing!
What are you doing up there, man?
Can't you even tie a lungi properly?
Do it carefully!
Don't get on my nerves right now!
I think we can get in if we break this door.
Looks like it's locked.
What is this foul smell?
What is all this crap?
Oh my!
What's this? A door?
A man?
[both screams]
You moron!
That scared the hell out of me.
My heart nearly popped
[heavy breathing]
I was scared to death.
Really?
This devil might be searching for someone.
Hey, this looks like a hidden chamber.
Oh my!
The door seems very heavy We can sell it for a good price.
Looks like a passage going down.
Yeah, let's go.
Didn't I say to crack this door open?
Go, there could be something useful.
Go ahead, I'm right behind you.
Oh no!
Oh my!
Walk carefully, man
What are you doing?
Looks like this torch isn't working.
- Where's the light switch? - It's there
Let me see that
That's good.
Check if there's anything there.
Take a look
[rummaging]
I don't see anything here.
It looks like he's gone crazy
[rummaging]
[suspenseful music playing]
Hey!
Hey, come here.
- Got it? - What could it be?
Black magic?
Looks like some black magic stuff.
Black magic? Have you lost it?
What could it be?
Let's open them up.
Great!
Hold this
Silver isn't worth much these days.
Hey. this...
It's a Panchaloha idol.
[pain grunts]]
[Idol clinks]
It's electrifying
I got electrified touching it.
- Electrified? - Yeah!
Look, there's smoke!
Let me see
See? There's nothing, it's totally fine.
[chuckles]
See!
This is the one, the Panchaloha idol.
- Really? - Yeah!
Wait! Cover that first!
Don't run with that!
Hey!
Look! There's a man and a woman heading to the riverside.
Maybe they're heading there to bathe.
Look!
[dramatic music plays]
Yeah, I know
Oh poor thing!
Was this the only place you could find to bring me?
Isn't this good enough?
Yeah, right!
How long is this?
Why didn't you tell my parents?
I wish I could've seen her face.
Wait! Stay quiet!
We never get those, man!
[tense music]
- Huh!? - What happened?
[suspenseful music]

If she spots us, she'll kill us

Yeah!
What if someone finds it?

[dramatic music plays]
[startled]
Hey, Niranja!

What's it?
I'm the caretaker here.
So? Move away!
Get the body onto the stretcher.
Prepare the inquest report.
He must've been beaten to death, right sir?
No, he was drowned.
Enough! Enough!
Do that!
Place them properly!
Move away!
[suspenseful music playing]
Careful!
[suspenseful music playing]
Sir!?
What's it?
I've got something to say.
Carry on.
What's the matter?
Sir
Sir, Kumar's the one who found the body first.
Who's that?
- Kumaran! - Yeah!
Sir!
I'm Kumaran
When did you see?
This morning...
I saw it when I came to walk.
Walking by the pond, huh?
That...

Coconut?
When is the owner coming?
They'll come next month.
[suspenseful music plays]
[suspenseful music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
Really good!
Not that.

This could be a murder, right?
Get lost!
Go! Get lost!
Why ask her?
I was just asking...
Why are you bothering her, huh?
Oh, I see!
I lost my slipper.
Leaving?
[jeep engine rumbling]
I think, it's here.
Here?
What are you doing, huh?
This won't work, man!
I'll try to get down then.
What to do?
Let me see if there's an idol here.
Oh Man!
This area is under police verification.
But we need that idol, right?
Let it be there.
That thing is worth crores!
You!!
Anyway, I'm getting down.
Wait!
Only we both know about this stuff here, right?
We put in a lot of effort to get that, right?
We'll be in bigger trouble if the police find out.
Oh, damn!
How are we supposed to get this?
Leave it there for now.
We'll have them in a few days.
Anyway, I'm going to get that.
Hey, stop doing all this!
Let's go.
Where could it be?
Better come, or I'll thrash you!
[tense music builds]
What's wrong with you?
No idea!
You were sleeping in your room, right?
Then how did you end up on the stairs?
That's what I'm saying, I don't know.
You've been forgetting things these days.
And you'll come home drunk.
Here
[phone ringing]
Yeah brother?
You must come home immediately.
What happened?
Someone was murdered in Mana.
Murder?
Yeah!
How did it happen?
No idea.
Come home immediately.
Sit.
I was suppose to call you.
What's going on, Niranjan?
[tense music builds]
I have never seen you in such chaos like this before
The client only agreed the deal because of Sakshi
She stepped in after you left.
Sir, I need a few days off.
It's not possible
Don't you know it yourself?
During such a critical time,
you're asking for leave?
It's not possible.
But sir, I've put in so much effort for this company...
Yeah, I know that. I agree that
But you are in charge of this project, right?
If you take leave in this situation,
It's not possible.
I cannot allow that
Okay sir, I don't care.
I quit!
Niranja?
Niranjan!
Listen to me, atleast!
Hear me out first.
Wait!!
Niranjan!
What happened to you?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Did I do anything wrong?
You want me to explain it, huh?
What, Niranjan?
All this for what I did in the presentation?
Happy now, after taking all the credit?
I...I have no such intentions.
I'll always be with you
I love you, Niranjan
I don't.
Just stay away from me.
[door closes]
[suspenseful music plays]
[sobs]
[gate opens]
Get in, come on.
Come
Pull it inside.
[motorbike revving]
[soft music playing]
Hey, come
I've cleaned it up as best as I could.
I know that you would do it well.
Anyway, go on. Get inside.
I've got tickets for the movie.
I'm taking my kids with me.
Tell her and the kids I asked about them.
Sure!
- Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. - Alright.
"On paths where memory-moonlight softly falls"
"Does my heart turn into a half-bloomed child?"
"In tender evenings where sunlight fades away"
"Are you wandering, chasing dreamlike shades?"
"In moments where the heart melts down"
"Like a breeze that gently brushes by"
"For a tiny bird with tired wings"
"You become a cloud that gives it shade"
"Do you drift like a midnight boat afloat?"
"In the mind's daylight, like a village stream?"
"Like tender leaves swaying in the breeze"
"The past returns within my heart"
"Like a drizzle falling on my path"
"Stay, never fading away again"
"On paths where memory-moonlight softly falls"
"Does my heart turn into a half-bloomed child?"
"In tender evenings where sunlight fades away"
"Are you wandering, chasing dreamlike shades?"

[door slams shut]
Greetings, cheriyacha. All good?
Yeah
Where's that idol you mentioned?
Here.
I got it from the pond at the house.
Hey!
Do you know what this is?
This is...
This is the idol of the Yakshi our ancestors feared.
You're lucky, that Yakshi didn't kill you.
Oh God...
Oh Goddess...
Lord Shiva, please protect us.
Oh Mother Goddess...
Everything's fine there for you, right?
Yeah, all good, cheriyamma.
If you want updates about us, you'll have to use your phone.
I've heard about this idol somewhere.
You just stay quiet, Bhanumathi.
Can't you see we're in the middle of something?
Stop bothering us
Just go away
Niranja
There's something I need to tell you.
Come, let's go for a walk.
You must have heard the stories of our ancestors, right?
Not completely, but I know a few things.
From what I've heard...
the one that fascinated me the most...
and frightened me the most...
is her story.
The story of Karthika Thirunal Padmini Thampuratti.
[birds chirping]
[grunts]
An old dream I've carried through many lifetimes...
I won't let anyone else have you while I'm alive.
From now on, every birth of yours...
will be only for Dathan.
[grunts]
Every man in this land would be captivated by your blazing beauty.
Nothing Dathan has desired has been out of reach.
[screams]
On a certain new moon night,
Padmini, who died at the sacred grove,
became a vengeful Durga...
and her power increased tenfold.
You should be careful.
[mantra chanting]
[fire hisses]
[mantra chanting]
What can we do then?
Come
I'll tell you.
[mantra chanting]
Oh God!
Oh Goddess Durga!
Niranja
This ring... it belonged to our ancestor Soorya Namboothiri...
He wore it for many years. It's a precious gem ring.
This ring is very powerful.
If you make her wear it, her strength will fade,
and she'll be bound to you.
But...
There's something I need to tell you.
What's it, Cheriyacha?
She must be in a fully hypnotized state...
when you place this ring on her finger.
Either in a state of lustful frenzy or in a state of rage?
If not,
you won't be able to get the ring on her finger.
Okay
I'll come and bring her under my control.
Oh God! Oh Shiva!
[distant eerie bird cry]
[suspenseful music plays]
Why am I still alive...
spared by Padmini Thampuratti of Karoor Mana?
Padmini, I know you're here in the room.
I need to see you.
[suspenseful music plays]
Padmini Thampuratti, come closer to me.
[suspenseful music plays]
[music]
The only reason I didn't kill you...
is only the affection I have for you.
[soft music playing]
The blood of Soorya Namboothiri,
whom I loved,
runs in you.
[soft music playing]
Are you able to move like this in the daytime?
Assume that I have that ability.
Really?
There are many things I can do that humans can't.
I see
What era is this?
Padmini was alive hundreds of years ago.
Was I asleep all this time?
What all happened here then?
You won't understand if I explain it
You need to see it.
Then can you take me outside?
Why not?
I can take you
but...
Times have changed.
you should change your look too.
She will keep trying to bewitch us and take control of our minds.
The result will be our death.
But it's a full moon today,
the day her emotions are at their peak.
On this day...
you must provoke her into losing control.
She'll be overwhelmed by desire.
- Today is the right time. - Okay
You have to lure her,
place the ring on her finger,
and inform me.
I've completed all the rituals as required.
"Oh, it's just moving, ready for the ho."
"Baby, you back here walking out the door."
"Baby, you just walking in the door."
"Oh, it's just moving, ready for the ho."
"Baby, you back here walking out the door."
"Baby, you just walking in the door."
"On this path, the green leaves sway,"
"Do they watch us as we drift away?"
"The breeze is singing soft and low,"
"Only we can hear it flow."
"Through sunlit shores we slowly glide,"
"Like drifting clouds across the sky."
"In lotus waters red and bright,"
"A dove reflects its silent light."
"Dreams in my eyes begin to grow,"
"As this journey finds its flow..."

"Do you see it all anew through your wandering eyes?"
"Every scene beneath the skies"
"Yet wherever my eyes may roam"
"They find your tender face alone"
"Climbing higher, our hearts beat on as one"
"Dreams in my eyes begin to grow,"
"As this journey finds its flow..."
"Oh, it's just moving, ready for the ho."
"Baby, you back here walking out the door."
"Baby, you just walking in the door."
"Oh, it's just moving, ready for the ho."
"Baby, you back here walking out the door."
"Baby, you just walking in the door."
"On this path, the green leaves sway,"
"Do they watch us as we drift away?"
"The breeze is singing soft and low,"
"Only we can hear it flow."
"Through sunlit shores we slowly glide,"
"Like drifting clouds across the sky."
"In lotus waters red and bright"
"A dove reflects its silent light."
"Dreams in my eyes begin to grow,"
"As this journey finds its flow..."
"Oh, it's just moving, ready for the ho."
"Baby, you back here walking out the door."
"Baby, you just walking in the door."
"Oh, it's just moving, ready for the ho."
"Baby, you back here walking out the door."
"Baby, you just walking in the door."
Hey, when did you come?
Just now
Why didn't you call me?
It was my mother's birthday.
They made palada payasam at home.
I know you like it...
so I brought some for you.
Oh!
Who's that?
She is Padmini Thampuratti of Karoor Mana.
Oh, I see.
Hi!
The Yakshi Thampuratti we all feared...
is standing right in front of you.
[suspenseful music]
What's wrong with you? Have you lost your mind?
She isn't as dangerous as you believe.
She was a bird kept in a cage for years.
once freed, she's just like a child inside.
What's wrong with you?
Is this why you came here?
Don't play around with your life at stake.
Anyway, I'm leaving.
[bike engine revving]
Think carefully before you do anything, Niranjan.
[suspenseful music playing]
[panting]
Niranja!
[suspenseful music playing]
Why did you say something like that?
No one else should know this.
I don't like it.
He's my best and true friend.
No!
Whoever it is,
I don't like it.
Okay, my mistake. I won't do it again.
He shouldn't be here anymore.
What do you mean by that?
I want to kill him.
No one should know who I am.
[screams]
Yes, dear. Say it.
Cheriyacha,
Padmini is behaving like a normal person now
Do we still need to restrain her?
She's like a child.
What nonsense are you thinking, Niranjan?
Your mind is now in her control.
So that's what's making you talk like this.
In another body...
she traps the soul in a prison...
and preys on others emotions...
she is just a formless spirit...
Tomorrow... she'll come for you too.
Don't let emotions control you.
Tonight itself,
you must place that ring on her hand.
Okay, Cheriyacha
Otherwise, her hunt will begin in this land.
Don't let your mind change, Niranjan.
Okay, Cheriyacha, I'll do it.
I'll do it and let you know, Cheriyacha.
You need to be careful.
Okay
[soft music playing]
[ship horn blaring]
What's wrong, Sakshi?
What happened?
I called Niranjan several times.
and he's not responding to my calls
Niranjan must have gone home for something urgent.
That must be why he didn't call.
No
I don't think so
He's got some problem.
I need to contact him somehow.
Let's do one thing.
We can try to talk to the MD.
Sir might know something about Niranjan.
Come, let's go.
Sir?
Yes?
Come
Tell me, Sakshi What happened?
Sir
It's about Niranjan
I don't want to talk about him.
Sir, please!
Did you hear what I just said?
Sir, it's not how you think it is
We've come here to find out what happened to Niranjan.
Sir
We know that you are aware of his past.
[soft music playing]
We also know close you are to him.
Yeah
We were so close.
He had an accident.
After that accident,
he was not like that
He has been consulting someone.
I think...
one doctor Sunny
You better go and meet him
He can guide you.
Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
[soft music playing]
If I said anything in anger,
please forgive me.
That's alright.
I won't do it again.
[soft music playing]
I swear.
Never again.
[suspenseful music playing]
[grunts]
You?
[grunts]
[door slams shut]
[mantra chanting]
[water splashing]
[soft music playing]
[suspenseful music builds]
Come on, let's go.
[ritual bell ringing]
Wait!
- Did you hear any bell? - Yes
Yes, I hear some sound.
It could be from the backside.
Come, let's check it out.
[mantra chanting]
Huh!?
Did you bring your phone again?
Didn't I tell you not to bring the phone?
I didn't bring it.
That's a clay pot I bought for my mother.
I didn't bring my phone
- Then what is that sound? - That's not from my side.
[mantra chanting]
[fire hisses]
[suspenseful music playing]
[mantra chanting]
- It's from inside. - Yeah!
Hear that?
[mantra chanting]
Let's check.
Let's open them slowly.
[mantra chanting]
Huh!?
[mantra chanting]
It's a ritual!
what, cat?
Not cat, It's a ritual!
Oh!
[mantra chanting]
[fire hisses]
Hey!
Ouch! My eye!
See that Idiol.
Where?
Over there!
Let me ask him, chetta...
Are you planning to kill us?
[mantra chanting]
- Niranja - Yeah?
Come...
We have to bring Padmini to this sacred ritual circle.
Let's go.
Hold me.
[ominous bird screech]
[door opens]
[heavy breathing]
[eerie music]
[mantra chanting]
[Padmini screams]
Go, bring her to the ritual circle.
[Padmini screams]
[screaming continues]
[chuckles]
Thirumeni?
The idol is not here!
[suspenseful music builds]
[eerie laughter]
Come on, quick!
Jumped
Oh no! Police!
Police?
[jeep engine rumbling]
Police?
Let's run?
Act as if nothing is happened
[jeep engine rumbling]
We'll say we're family.
Let's say we're brothers.
[jeep door closes]
What are you doing at this hour?
We're on our way home.
- Home? - Yeah!
Where's your home?
His house is next to mine, right?
Yours?
Err... Close to Angamaly
Something is off here!
Where did you both really go?
As we were walking, a ritual was happening at the Mana.
We just went to have a look.
We got scared when we saw you
But it's a bit far to the Mana from here.
Yes, right. We ran, so it didn't feel that far.
Shall we leave, sir?
Get inside! Get inside!
But... Sir, I'm innocent!
[jeep engine rumbling]
Thirumeni?
What can we do?
[chuckles]
The missing idol...
until it is found, there's nothing we can do.
It must be around there...
She's probably there, somewhere nearby.
[jeep engine rumbling]
There's someone waving in a white saree.
Stop here, Suresh. Stop the siren.
[jeep engine rumbling]
She might be alone.
Yeah!
Where are you going so late?
Could you drop me at the Mana?
- To Mana? - Yeah
Okay, get inside.
Get in here.
Come inside.
You can sit at middle.
Yes!
Move aside
Let me get on
Even if bail is not granted, it's not a problem.
[jeep engine rumbling]
[jeep door closes]
Where's the ritual taking place?
It's inside, sir.
Where's she?
She was right here.
That's right
She's not here.
Suresh, find that lady.
Okay, sir
It's happening inside, sir.
No use for us, right?
Stop talking and walk.
It's inside, sir.
Still, where has she gone?
- Where is it? - It's inside
[door opens]
[mantra chanting]
[fire hisses]
[mantra chanting]
[fire hisses]
What's happening here?
A summoning ritual is happening here.
But the idol is missing now.
Idol missing?
I think we're trapped. He's looking at us.
If that Yakshi isn't summoned
and place her in the idol...
Yakshi? A ghost?
Hey!
Hold this
We're going to be trapped... oh God!
oh God!
Is this the idol you were talking about?
Huh!?
Are we trapped? Oh God!
Don't stay in the Mana anymore.
Leave immediately!
Escape everyone!
Run!!
Fast! Run!
[door slams]
Hey Kanna, open the door!
Kanna!
[suspenseful music builds]
[Govind screaming]
Kanna!
Govind!
Don't get scared! I'm here.
Govind!
[panting]
[suspenseful music builds]
There will always be something to torment people.
[creepy background score]
[screaming]
[door opens]
Oh! Sir!!
Please help me!
Was it you?
I was terrified!
She won't stop.
She keeps making me run.
Can't you find any place other than this Mana?
It's all because of Govind, sir.
Hey! Open the door!
Hey!
[door slams shut]
Hey! Please open the door!
[door creaking noise]
[door opens]
[suspenseful music builds]
Sir
Take me along with you, please.
- Pass me the torch. - Here
Wait here!
Okay
[suspenseful music builds]
[loud creak]
[tense music rising]
[screaming]
[both screams]
We were at the stairs, right?
She threw me somewhere, sir.
I was wandering around here.
Only you can save me, sir.
Come, let's go.
Come, sir
Let's go.
[screaming]
Sir?
[eerie laughter]
Sir?
Oh no!
[creaking door]
[sighs]
[screams]
[screaming]]
Someone please open the door!
Oh my God!
Where were you, you fool?
Move away!
[mantra chanting]
[screaming]
Let go of me. I am a Circle Inspector.
[mantra chanting]
[screams]
[mantra chanting]
[eerie laughter]
[mantra chanting]
[screaming]
[eerie laughter]
[screaming]
[mantra chanting]
[screaming]
[suspenseful music builds]
[birds chirping]
[door closes]
Maya
Let's go!
[car engine running]
[busy traffic]
[horns honking]
One second!
Is that one?
I think that must be the one. See, Doctor Sunny.
- Come, let's go. - Yeah!
[scooter engine sound]
Doctor?
Sit inside. I'll come.
Okay
Do you think he'll help us.
Let's see.
Please tell.
Which one is you? What's the problem?
Doctor, we didn't come for a consultation.
So you came without an appointment?
We had something serious to talk about.
See, today is a really busy day.
Come after taking an appointment
Don't you get what I'm saying?
Please leave!
Doctor!
Doctor please!
Doctor, please listen to me.
Doctor, we are Niranjan's friends
I want to know what's going on with him.
I don't know any more coordinates.
Doctor, I know we are disturbing you.
But the situation is very complicated.
Please help us.
Do you even know...
where you've come and whom you're asking?
Patient confidentiality, professionalism, ethics...
these aren't just fancy words.
Niranjan's personal details can't be shared.
Doctor, Niranjan is my boyfriend
And he has been missing.
Please help!
Have a seat. I'll be back.
Thank you
What do you want to know about him?
Doctor
I want to know what problem Niranjan is facing.
He's not just a patient to me.
He's a good friend of mine.
[soft music playing]
I'll tell you everything about him.
Many years ago
he came to me.
At that time, Niranjan was very disturbed.
At that time
to assess whether it was psychosis,
or schizophrenia,
or a severe psychotic condition
It took a while to figure out
Now, when I ask about his condition,
he shows severe anxiety and fear inside.
Later, I realized he is at an extreme psychotic level.
For you, your friends, and family,
this is a very dangerous situation with a high chance of risk.
[suspenseful music plays]
This is all I have to say.
[soft music playing]
[scooter engine sound]
What happened?
Uncle, Niranjan isn't here?
Niranjan hasn't been seen here for a few days
His friend, Arjun?
Arjun?
I haven't seen such a person here.
He has been living here alone for a few years.
Shall we go and check?
[door opens]
[tense music plays]
Where's he?
[tense music plays]
[suspenseful music plays]
Sakshi!?
What happened?
Look
Maya!
Maya, shall we leave this place and go somewhere far away?
Do you know how deeply I love you?
After my mother, you're the one I loved the most.
Why aren't you saying anything?
[phone ringing]
Shall we go?
