Why are you not sleeping? Get inside the house
Eh! Sumeshwari. You have the guts to talk back? Do you know who I am?
You know, don't you? I am the queen of this Kinginikkadu. The queen
I have told you never to set foot here. Never ever come here. This is my forest, mine only
I have told you many times. Go away
Sumeshwari... Don't make me angry. get lost. Go away from this forest. Go away
Raja
Please have it
Leela...
Muthassi (Grandma)
Father, are we going to leave chechi (elder sister) in this place?
Father, do you want to marry chehi off to an unfamiliar place in the woods? Should we not reconsider it?
Haven't I told you all that it was my decision to marry Rajan chettan, mine only
Don't worry about me. I have only one advice, study well
We're saying this because we think you're marrying Rajan because of our situation
I don't want to leave you alone in this forest
No, Father, do you know my decision to marry Rajettan was not a sudden one. Father, don't worry. It will all be good
Rajan. Eclipse is about to begin. You have to tie the knot during the eclipse
They will be here soon
Careful
Mallikakkavu
Rajan, the eclipse has begun. Tie the knot before it ends
Why is that?
That... hmm. that's part of the customs here
This is my father, Mallikan
If I was going to get married, it had to be here
Good that your wish came true
Hasn't your mother come?
I mean... She is not keeping well recently. Can't ask her to come to this forest
You should go back now. Should go home as soon as the eclipse is over
You two must study well
You can depend on us for anything.
All right then
Come
Leela ...
Come
It's an old house. There will be dust No... must be because of the travel Come
This is our room
Where is Amma?... She stays upstairs. She is very sick. We will go and meet her tomorrow.
Now, you too should take care of everything here
Leela
Careful... how do you feel now?
No, I am ok now
I told you not to go to see my mother alone.
No... I mean
Mother is very sick
And she's bit of a peculiar character
Didn't I tell you when I came to see you that day?
But... how can she eat the mongoose meat raw?
I just could not stand it
I was about to tell you about that
By then you came there
She has some peculiar habits. ... She only eats raw mongoose meat and drink alcohol
Also, she wears only the same-coloured clothes all the time
Why does your mother have such habits?
My mother is the greatest sorcerer in here
Maybe it's a habit formed out of witchcraft and all that
Raw mongoose meat and alcohol became a habit
Now, she can't do without it
Mother taught me the witchcraft when I was a child
When I do the ritual, they say I resemble my mother
Now, don't approach mother alone, ok?
Rajetta, we have run out veggies to make curry
oh, ok I will go and get something
No, I will go and get them. I can also see the place too
Don't talk to the local people, they are a bunch of nincompoops
But, do you know the way around here?
Don't worry, I will find out
Hmm ok, go by the forest path
Take the money then ...it will on top of the almirah; take it from there
Chechi... can I get some flowers?
Are you not Rajan's wife?
Yes...
Knew that you had married
But, did you enquire about the house thoroughly before marrying Rajan?
What?
It's a cursed house; not only that house, but this village has been cursed for the last 10 years
Not a single woman in this village has had children in 10 years
In case pregnant women from outside the village come here
Either they'll lose their babies or they'll go missing
Before you came... Ammini who lives beyond your house... her son is Murali
Murali's wife Prabha ignored all warnings about the old house. She had gone there to get some medicinal plants
Murali, you know all about that old woman. Do you still want do it?
What are you talking about? He lost his wife because of that old woman.
I'm with you, even if there's no one else
But if we go now, won't Rajan be there?
No, he won't be there today. it's a no moon day. He might have gone to hunt for some evil spirit
Hey, let's enter
Are you really sure?
Murali... hey open the door Murali
(Murali) Sugu... hey It's Murali, it's his voice
It is him... (Murali) Sugu
Escape... (Murali) Open the door, hey Sugu
Sugu... Gopala open it...
No one who entered that grandmother’s house was ever seen again
Prabha... Prabha...
