Shibu, tell me this
Is the king's palace ready for occupation?
Yes, sir, I heard about it too
He has summoned 8 experienced artisans to have his palace built
-8 artisans? -Yes, sir
Is that so?
Drive straight there Let me see for myself
Is this the palace Devendra has built?
You mean to say 8 different craftsmen were required to build this?
I don't understand what is so special about this
All right, find out who built this and bring him to me
Hello, sir
Are you the contractor who built this magnificent palace?
Yes, sir We made it
8 different artisans put their heart and soul to build this
You got 8 midwives to deliver 1 baby, huh?
Sir, don't ridicule this effort
Experts have been chosen from 8 countries, sir
Basic foundation, basement, garden
Palace facade, elevation, interior plan, structural elements
Interior decoration, detailing and technology
Devendra sir selected 8 different experts to build this palace
This magic was possible because of the combination of skill and intellect
What is the use of that magic if the charm isn't apparent?
Take a tour of the interior and you will realise, sir
Let us go inside
Tell me now, sir Has your opinion changed?
-If you want the truth-- -Wait
Look at this also
Devendra sir built this for his fiancee with utmost love and care
I'm overwhelmed
If I want a palace like this, will you build one for me too?
I will pay you much more
Why would that be a problem? Just say the word, sir
This is a gem built with our master Devendra's ingenuity
His imagination and creativity laid the foundation for this masterpiece
You give us a plan of your choice
We will execute it to perfection
ANNABELLE RATHORE
We have been asked to stay in Chandraban's palace for the past 10 days
Papa, the more I look around
this palace gives me the creeps and spooks me
Did you see anything paranormal?
All this is your fertile imagination, dear?
We've stayed here for so long Did anything unusual happen?
Nothing happened
But anything can happen tomorrow
Why are you both talking of spirits on a full moon night?
If a spirit overhears, you both will be possessed for sure
Don't scare us simply
We are both starving Dish up something for us
If born a woman, she has to slave it out in the kitchen
Cooking for your daughter and you
I will end up one day as a spirit in the kitchen
Even when alive you are scary!
What will be our plight if you turn into a ghost
What happened to me?
This aroma is tingling my taste buds!
Did I cook this gourmet meal?
You went off like a tornado and dished out such a spread!
-I hope it tastes good -Yes, dear
Taste and tell me
Why are you reacting strangely?
After all these years, you finally learned to cook?
What I meant was
You are always a good cook
Today you have outdone yourself
I did nothing out of the ordinary
Ma, delicious!
For the first time, we enjoyed such a tasty meal
Papa! Ma! Open the door!
What is it, dear? What happened?
There is a ghost in my room, Papa
What? A ghost?
-Let's pack and go -Listen, dear
I knew right then when you spoke of ghosts
something like this will happen
-Ma, I'm not making it up -Stop this nonsense
Let me check your room
Where is the ghost?
Is that us?
Let us get out of here right now
Hurry up
Get up
What is happening?
Welcome
Who are you, you mashed brinjal head?
What are you doing in my mansion?
One punch and I'll make coconut chutney out of you
-Don't lose your cool -Did you hear
what this four-eyes is dreaming?
This is his palace it seems!
This is Chandraban's son's family
Chandraban's daughter and son-in-law
Chandraban's sister and son-in-law
What a cacophonic cackle!
-Shut up! -What is it?
What is so funny?
My dear son-in-law
-Good lord -Father!
Family get-together, eh?
Ma, who is he?
Look at him properly He is your grandpa
We perform the annual ritual for him
Is he the crow that comes and eats our offering?
Not an ordinary crow
A crow that caws off-key!
Now you will hear the female cawing
Urmila, my daughter, how are you, dear?
Ma...
Urmila, what happened?
What has happened?
What do we do now?
Stop it!
She is a newbie ghost Give her some time
If she has never seen a ghost in her life, what can we do?
-Ghost? -Then what?
-Ghost... -This one has also fainted
-Oh, God! -What happened?
-My child -Sister?
Is this a competition to fall unconscious?
-Time for my lesson now -Move
Let me see how I can help
You are a burden to yourself Sit on your wifey's lap
Wait, let me try
Go back Useless ghosts!
Come here, dear
Hey! Don't ghosts have logic?
How can that kid lift up these two people?
Stuff your logic into your pocket Show your magic
Do you recognise him or not?
Padam brother?
You want 100 whiplashes or a slash from my sword?
Once a flirt, always a flirt
-Sister-in-law Gita, right? -Urmila
I saw you as a baby in your mother's arms
You have become a big girl now
Uncle failed in 10th standard Aunt failed in the 8th
Principal had to resign
Why pick on us alone? Go over to that side
Don't you know the most beautifully mismatched couple?
Mahendra brother and his wife, Raghavi
However big a door is
the latch is always small
His wife is the door He is that latch
How dare you! I'll clobber you
If I retaliate, you'll lose half a foot more... Move aside
How can you recognise the entire fraid of ghosts?
Then what, dear? They are my maternal ghost kin
Is it confirmed now?
We thought your mother was a witch Her entire clan is supernatural
-Hey! Shut up, four eyes -Tell me, wild bear
Look, can you recognise them?
Even statues have better expressions
Ma, Papa?
-Urmila? -Come, dear
-Ages since we saw you -Are you fine, dear?
Got it?
Big happy family's reunion
Happy?
Where is my uncle?
Urmila, you should take special notice of this
After his death, your uncle has not stepped out of his room
He does not allow anyone else into his room other than me
I'm not responsible if any of you barge in and that man bites your throat
-I want to make this very clear -What?
If my wife bites anyone in this house, I'm not responsible either
Each is a madder madcap than the other
Why did we die? What sin did we commit?
Greed is your sin
Your entire family is a pack of greedy wolves
That's why they are roaming as restless spirits
Then why are you a ghost haunting this palace?
What is your unfulfilled desire?
I'll explain
I was the head cook in this palace
Cooking was my passion
One full moon night I cooked a gourmet meal for the entire family
Everyone ate heartily and died
No one remembered how they died
Who poisoned them is still a mystery
After a burp, I died too
I didn't sit quiet
I haunted this palace inch by inch, high and low
By chance, I stumbled on a fact
Every full moon night, a power enters my body
Whoever enters the kitchen
I possess the person and dish out a meal
For the first time, I got this special power in 1960
Your mother entered the kitchen
She was making ginger-garlic paste for the chicken
I found out another secret that day
Whoever does not die after eating my food
only he or she can escort us out of this palace we are held captive
Understood?
You'll poison everyone and preach us your sermon for hours?
There's no point getting angry
All he did was cook the meal
-Did you mix the poison? -Don't blabber
The poison was a combined effort
Okay, are you done? Shall I go now?
Listen carefully, all of us have to follow certain rules
Raghavi
We can't touch people who are alive
But we can lift articles
We can't escape from this palace
More than all these do's & don'ts
This palace has to be maintained spic and span
Not a single piece of trash It has to be spotless
Your logic here is all skewed
I spoke a lot of nonsense
Was there any logic? Zip your lips and listen
This is food for thought, brother
Forget about ghosts, is there logic in life?
Tell me, how will we be released?
Didn't he just tell you?
We have to wait for someone to be alive after being poisoned
Be patient
Uncle
Urmila, her husband and daughter are dead too
I don't believe Shanmuga's story
Grandpa?
Finished admiring? Shall we leave?
Right from my childhood, I've seen this routine ritual of yours
You come, stand, stare at this palace and you leave
I haven't seen you step in even once
I don't look at it with love
But with dread
It's been 70 years since I had the courage to enter this palace
It has taken 12 lives in our family
We are the only two left behind
So you are aware, right?
Then why hold on to it for dear life?
Why don't you sell it?
You don't know its importance
All that is fine, but--
But what?
It is a problem only if we make our relatives stay here
We can make an outsider stay here
The whole town knows this palace is sinister
Who will come then?
Should he be from this town?
God bless me
Brother, what is in that bag?
Loads of cash, jewellery for the wedding
24 carat gold
It will be 1 kilo of gold minimum
When you are so sure, why don't you go and flick it?
It isn't a cakewalk to steal that bag
There is a hitch
Another gang just like us is eyeing this loot
I'm thinking who will be the successful thief in this game
Whatever it is
I'm sure to win
Mother promise I swear on this book!
"Saila saila rae"
"Come to waltz away"
Bro, I think this is the gang you mentioned
"Rejoice all day"
Robbery in burka?
Very predictable
You said they would steal that bag They are busy flicking chains
Don't be so stupid!
If just one bag is missing in this whole train
only that owner will scream
"My bag is missing!"
But now one will exclaim, "Hey, my phone is missing"
Another will say, "Hey, I can't find my purse"
When everyone starts screaming, no one suspects one person in the melee
That entire gang of cunning thieves will easily escape
-Super clever, bro -I know
-Police -Oh, my God!
"Saila saila rae Rejoice all day"
A policeman fleeces people
and that girl flicked from the cop himself
Amazing!
Bro, give me her number
-Her number changed -Huh?
-WhatsApp? -Blocked, man
-Why, bro? -Look over there
Look at that bear, dear
Ouch!
-Oh, God! -Sorry... sorry... sorry
Look at that
They don't even spare a small boy!
Jesus is there
You will pay for your sins
Bro, that bag is missing
I didn't take it
Check what happened and update me
"Saila saila rae"
Why don't you go instead?
I can't
-Why? -Because I'm the boss!
Hello... mike testing
Wonderful!
-Have they removed their burkas? -Yes, bro
I told you They are too smart
Don't stop Just proceed
Okay, bro
You are the one, right?
My chain is missing!
Someone stole my chain!
My bag also
The thief is right here
I caught them red-handed
Bro!
Don't worry, everyone!
I have caught the thief
What you've caught him?
-Who? -Let's go, Papa
Trying to steal from me?
Let go of me What are you doing?
Now do you realise why I didn't get involved?
Don't make a fuss Just pray to Jesus, bye

What are you doing? Stop this brawl
My boss is on his way
Jai Hind, sir
-Hello, sir -Hello, sir
Tell me What is the issue?
-Sir-- -Sir, they are the root cause
They stole and then blamed the whole thing on both of us
Not once or twice but repeatedly
It's written all over his face He is 100% fraud
Sir, I openly accept I am a fraud
But I'm a loser fraud, sir
They are successful frauds, sir
Don't be fooled by their innocent appearance
Sir...
2 minutes, if you hand them over to me, I'll make them cough up the truth
Sir, she is confusing you with her gift of the gab
She's indirectly hinting at third degree on us
Listen to me
Take her to a faraway jungle and fake an encounter
Case will be closed and you will make a name for yourself
Sir, sir, sir
He's a nutcase, sir
He's wasting your time and ours Please let us go, sir
-Is your time being wasted, madam? -Of course, sir
What is so important you have to rush?
This is what makes an officer!
Hello! Tell me What is so important?
Cleaning
We run a cleaning agency
Sir
By cleaning, she means...
Not this cleaning, sir
This cleaning
Sorry, sir Take it, sir
Hey, you!
Come here
Do you get it now?
Sir
Lock them up
Sir? Why, sir?
Who made you a police officer?
Corrupt idiot!
What is your agency?
-Cleaning -Cleaning agency, sir
-Can you do me a favour? -Of course, sir
I own a property in the next village
It's not been cleaned for a long time
Don't worry at all, sir I can refer someone
Hire him, and he'll do a thorough job
If you refer my name to him, you will get a double discount
That was a good joke!
We have our own cleaning agency, right?
I was kidding, sir
We will do the job for you, sir
A joke for a joke!
You know we don't take contracts outside the city
Sorry, sir We don't do that, sir
You'll get it from me I have been watching you
You hold a PhD in fibbing
You should be the one behind bars
Sir, don't threaten us for no reason
Do you have any proof?
All you want is proof?
Just sit there Wait for 10 minutes
I'll call you after I get it
-Papa -What, dear?
-Let it go -Okay
He just wants us to take up the cleaning job, right?
Let's do it
Why cause unnecessary trouble for the police?
When do you want us to start?
What do you think of it?
Ma
If we had a palace like this
what a cushy life we'd have had!
Hello!
Enough sightseeing Shall we go inside?
Mahendra, did something happen to you?
So true
I've been here for decades I've never felt something like this
Even alive you had no feelings
-Someone new has entered our palace -I agree
Mahendra, ask our ghosts to assemble
Let's go and check
Rudra?
Rudra!
Why do you look like you've seen a ghost, dear?
-Where's the key? -Is this the one?
No, just take a look at this size
Is this a key or a vintage missile?
Maybe it's the wrong key?
Just a doubt
It's the correct key
But I don't know why it isn't opening
Rudra, I'm scared
-Shall we leave this place? -Do you want to go to jail?
Sir
It must be stuck on the inside
I know what to do
-Papa, come with me -Coming, dear
Isn't this our madam?
-Rudra, what happened? -Nothing, Ma!
I'm coming
-Are you okay? -I'm fine, come
No one will roll out the red carpet for you?
-It is your palace -Come in, sir
Hey, hands off!
This is just like a house You can take a tour yourself
Haven't you seen it in fairy tale movies?
Just like that, no big deal You look around
I have an important case to attend I must leave urgently
If you need anything, I'll leave two constables behind
They will be of help
You go ahead I'm leaving
You heard him?
He's talking like a lunatic claiming it is a film set
Hey! What the hell is wrong with you?
-Why are you distracted, Rudra? -Forget about that, Ma
Just look here
This palace looks so beautiful
If we buy, we should buy a palace like this
You have dreams of buying a palace?
Have you gone mad?
But I can't blame you
You've inherited your father's mad streak!
By the way, where is your father?
He must have gone to hog
Or some hog must have eaten him
-Ow! -Papa?
Am I a rabbit to be hogged?
Papa!
Mummy! Come and help me
Why are you walking crookedly?
My beloved daughter
Oh!
I saw her jump into the palace swift on her toes like a deer
I got the same energy, ending up with a slipped disc
Can't teach an old dog new tricks!
You remind me of something from an English movie
A ghost?
No, not a ghost
Not a ghost A kind of weird name
Zombie!
You resemble that
Get lost!
Think about this
This palace looks spic and span as it is
Why did he want us to clean it?
That inspector has some hidden agenda
-Quite possible -But
I have an even better plan than his
What is that plan, dear?
Put a tight lid on your overacting
We always have only one plan, right?
Two constables are acting as sentries at our door
Don't try to be funny, Ma
When have we ever taken the straight path?
After sunset, we will loot all the valuables from here
and scoot from here silently
-Did you call me, Grandpa? -Sit down
What did you do? I trusted you with a small job
You've let some strangers stay in our palace
What other choice did I have?
No one who has heard about the palace will volunteer to stay
That group had a case over their heads, so they couldn't refuse
Grandpa, just one week
We'll know everything during the full moon night
By chance, if they are alive, we will chase them out,
perform a ritual and then move in ourselves
-I understand something clearly -What is it?
That girl has something that we don't possess
She is beautiful What else?
-Don't compete with me -Are you Cupid's uncle, you idiot?
She has a special bond with us, which we didn't feel with anyone else
She struck a chord in my heart
If we want to leave this palace
we need that girl's help
-Oh! -Is she an angel from heaven?
I'll tell you when the time is right
But that chit of a girl wants to loot everything and escape tonight
Only if we let them leave Right, Mr Turban?
-I'll sit right in front of her bedroom -Correct
I heard a buffalo grunt?
What is this sound?
-There -He is the one snoring?
Even as a ghost, he is Mr Lazybones!
Such a sloth!
Did you add sugar in my tea?
I added salt and pepper also What were you doing?
I was planning
Planning while snoring?
I'll hang you upside down like a bat from the terrace
Hey! Shut up
Always taking a dig at my husband!
Yes, your husband sleeps all day and we slave away night and day
No one gives me time to plan
First, listen to me
At no point in time, come what may, should they know we are ghosts
Why, Shanmuga?
No one from our side should scare them out of their wits
Full moon is seven days away
I'll cook on that day
If they are alive, all of us can escape from this palace
What if they die?
If they die, four more jokers can join us and roam around here happily
Then we can go back to dancing to our old tune
Back to square one!
Meeting dismissed
-Who is that? -Who is this new person?
His face looks like a wannabe actor
He's stealing it
-Put it down -Scoundrel!
The ceiling has fallen
Did you hear the loud thud just now?
Why are you crowding around me?
Why are things falling down of their own accord?
-Look what you've done! -What is he doing here?
I thought he was one of the new additions
Come this side
Mummy! The vase is flying!
Turban, what do you think you are doing?
Won't he get scared only if the vase falls down?
So, I dived and caught it
Are you a wicketkeeper?
Do you intend to play catch for the next seven births here?
Sorry
-Why are you laughing? -Hey! What's up?!
All our problems are solved
All of them will leave this palace tonight for sure
How?
Chotu and I scared the hell out of them
Oh, no!
Five or 50, all of them are stark-raving lunatics!
Why are you staring at me?
I've never seen a black teddy bear in any toy shop
Hey, Shanmuga
Why are you sitting dull and gloomy?
-As if we did it on purpose -Yes, Shanmuga
We tried our best to keep quiet
By then, everything slipped out of our hands
I dived my best to catch the vase too
The elders are talking to you seriously and you are sleeping happily!
Look who is talking about sleep!
Thanks to Shanmuga we know why we are haunting this palace
Only you can show us the way out
It was a small mishap Forget and forgive
What is the plan? You tell us, we will follow
You don't do anything
because you bring bad luck
Do me a favour Go back to your rooms
I am scared to stay alone What if a ghost appears?
You are a ghost yourself!
Think of us when you're scared
True that, eh?
Fine, we just have to stay in our own rooms, right?
-Let us go -Yes, yes
One more thing
Till the full moon night, that girl has to be here
Why?
Moron! Will we play anthakshari with her?
Don't worry I'll take care of them
-Let's go -Mahendra, stay here
-My wife is sleeping all alone -Want to sing her a lullaby?
If you sing, you will wake up the entire palace
Stay here, you ass!
Massage your half-moon head for better brains
I told you that night I wasn't hungry!
You forced me to eat saying it is tasty
And now this prince has to take orders from a cook!
You ate as if you had starved for days
Now are you shifting the blame on me after dying?
All right, let us retire
What is he doing in our bedroom?
Your royal highness!
My lord
His attire sends me down memory lane
Reminded of our wedding night?
Not that, my dear lord
You were an ace swordsman
You must have forgotten everything now that you are old?
What are you saying?
My beloved! Where are you going?
Just wait and watch
My lord!
Careful!
-My beloved! -Don't you worry
I have won Accept your defeat
The end of our lineage!
-Now a jump! -What are you doing?
Please let him go!
Sir, kindly spare his precious life
My beloved...
Come close
Don't do that Let him go
This is old black-and-white film style
Let me try the new filmy style
Bajirao style
-My beloved -Has Mastani also come?
Let's fight
Mid... mid-air!
Look here
I don't fight with swords dangling in mid-air!
Blind game is not my forte
It's better to escape!
Oh, my God!
Did you see he was terrified?
Leave him alone!
How do we face Shanmuga now?
Oh, God! Brother, stop!
Pay heed to my words
Stop... stop
Oh, jackpot!
Silk saris!
So beautiful!
-Ma, it's your saris -So what?
We have to ensure they stay here until full moon night
Doesn't matter if she takes our saris
Very true, you reap what you sow
Even if it is doomsday, we shouldn't disturb her
Let's put this back
Why are you sitting here quietly?
Won't you take care of your guests properly?
Hey! Don't switch it on!
Do you think your pranks can scare me?
It's either my beloved husband or darling daughter
No, I switched on the light!
Hey, madcap! Why are you shoving yourself everywhere?
How dare you call me mad?
Mind your words! I'm your elder
I died when I was young
You died when you were older That's the only difference, got it?
Why should I treat you with respect, you little mouse?
You're acting too big for your boots
Just you wait!
Trying to scare me?
I know who is hiding behind me
How is she so bold?
I know!
She is wrapped up in all those saris
In case you alert her
Listen to me
Behave yourself!
Is that the best you can do?
Not enough Add more special effects
Acting too smart for your boots?
There you go!
You are such a smarty-pants!
Wait, I'll get even with you
Malu?
What is going on here?
Kindly keep quiet
Why has your voice changed?
Don't worry
My wife has turned into a witch!
Save me!
I'm so dead!
Mummy
Where are you, Mummy?
Mummy
Mummy?
Mummy
Save me, Mummy!
What is the matter?
-Dad, a rat! -Rat!
Where is the rat?
Here it is, Papa
Hey, Malu! What happened to you?
There are flying objects everywhere
Hey! What is happening?
Oh, my God!
Someone say something
Is this a magic show?
Things are flying up and down, down and up... What is this?
Let's escape Run to a safe place
Shame on them I told them to stay quiet
Are they having epileptic fit?
What can I say? 10 ghosts are petrified of a tiny rat!
Everybody! Silence
Didn't you pay heed to my words of caution earlier?
One minute, wait I'll find the remedy
Mahendra!
What are you doing?
Shanmuga, check if it is dead
-What? -The rat
All of you rot and die here!
Aren't we already dead?
Mahendra!
Can you...
see me?
Rudra!
-Rudra! -Coming, Ma
No, I can't
I can't stay here anymore
Call her, as soon as she comes we will leave right away
Hey! Rudra
-Come soon -I told you so
Why are you screaming?
I am here, right?
Why are all of you looking spooked?
Let us leave this palace right away, dear
-Ghosts are wandering here -Papa, why are you so childish?
What do you mean "childish"?
You know, we are holding our heart in our hands
And you find it amusing!
I saw with my own eyes
Listen, Ma I have an idea
Tell us quickly
Wasn't our main aim to loot this place?
But something strange seems to be happening here
and we are in the dark
Your brain has gone for a walk!
I'm saying exactly that
-Something is wrong with this place -We are both talking in tangents
You are saying this palace has ghosts roaming around
I am saying why can't I pretend to be the ghost in this place?
-Shanmuga -What?
Nothing
What are you saying?
Let me explain
I went into one of the rooms in this palace
I saw a family photo
She means my photo when I was young
There are 7 girls in that photo
I will act as if one of those ghosts has possessed me, okay?
-And? -After that?
And then?
-Yes, follow me -Come... come
-Come here -How can that be?
She said she saw seven girls
-There should be only 6 -True
Poor child, she is bad with numbers!
What nonsense!
At least I made her stay as planned
You are taking credit for it?
-Mad or what? -How dare you call me mad!
-Your stupid turban -What audacity!
Don't try your tricks on me
The breeze must have knocked it down, let's go
-Did I drop it? -Then who?
-No, do a replay -Who kicked me?
What is she looking at?
Shanmuga?
Why is this girl rearranging things in the middle of the night?
Mahendra, won't you let me be in peace even for 2 minutes?
Look, maybe she sleepwalks
Then people usually walk while asleep, right?
-They don't redecorate -Very true
What are you doing here like an owl, past midnight?
Everything seems to have been arranged in the wrong order, Ma
I am setting it right
-Have we come all the way to decorate? -I didn't mean that, Ma
I just noticed it
Let's go to bed now
I feel very tired
Tomorrow morning, I have to make the whole town believe I am possessed
So scary! Run!
I think she will come dressed like me
I'm the daughter in this family She will resemble me
She is as beautiful as me She will come in my avatar
Stop fighting Look over there
She is like an angel from above
The most beautiful woman in the world
-Whom does she resemble? -A true beauty!
She is dressed like my wife, Shiv Kumari
How strange! He's coming out after all these years of solitude
"I am a nightingale at night This is my area by right"
"I am like a maze enclosure You will get lost for sure"
"What I want should be Older than 1920"
"I am a big, bad witch, beware You can't escape from me, be aware"
"Queen of scary movies we'll be Roohi, Chandramukhi spooky"
"You are a Dracula freaky darling"
"World will die of fright Watching Conjuring"
"I am Annabelle, not Barbie"
"How brave are you, tell me?"
"This is a ghost haven Millions have gone to heaven"
"Smooth operator!"
"One wrong turn taken The world is terror stricken"
"Don't by mistake turn back"
"Lakshmi is also our Manjulika"
"We host a Halloween party tonight Tread on nimble toes light"
"Dancing in delight spooky something Many shadows in the dark swirling"
"Something ominous is in the air"
"So what if it is An old palace rare"
"Number 13 is an incident new Written in fate's point of view"
"This is a challenge for you How will you protect yourself, dude?"
"I am a nightingale at night This is my area by right"
"I am like a maze enclosure You will get lost for sure"
"What I want should be Older than 1920"
"I am a big, bad witch, beware You can't escape from me, be aware"
"Queen of scary movies we'll be Roohi, Chandramukhi spooky"

"One wrong turn taken The world is terror stricken"
"Don't by mistake turn back"
"Lakshmi is also our Manjulika"
"I am a nightingale at night This is my area by right"
"My territory"
"My locality"
"My domain"
"My dominion"
"My division"
"My sector My quarter"
-Rudra -What, Ma?
You are here
Come with us to the temple
Good lord! All of them are going out
How will we feed them?
We lost a good chance
Why to the temple?
Your mother is petrified of ghosts Don't you know that?
-Let's go to the temple -Not like that
Weird things are happening ever since we came here
And she wants to act like a ghost I'm terrified of all her mad schemes
Today is full moon Let's give an offering to God
Everything will be all right
-Come, dear -Hurry up
I can't enter a temple today
-What is she saying? -Don't poke your nose
Attend to your work
Okay, you stay here We will get back soon
Come, hurry up
Ma, before you go cook something for me
-I'm hungry -Cook whatever she likes
Our job is done
Shanmuga's role starts from here
What if she doesn't like what he cooks?
Hey, turban head
Were you born at an inauspicious time?
I'm sorry
Tonight is full moon and we don't know if we will be stuck here or be freed
Where is our prey hiding?
I can hear someone already enjoying the soup in there
Mahendra, were you punished for not finishing your homework?
Isn't it full moon tonight?
If they eat, we will know
whether we will leave the palace or be stuck here for good
Tell me about it What is this new drama?
I am exercising Won't you need my help?
I don't need you or your help
Just shut up and you'll be doing me a huge favour
Stuff this mango in your mouth and get the hell out of here
I don't know what to dish out So many vegetables laid out?
You have so many options
That woman will come now to cook I have no idea about her preferences
Make a mixed vegetable keema I'm sure she will like it
I'll make mincemeat out of you Just zip your lips!
He is clueless and I have to teach him
-Shanmuga -What?
-Her mother is coming here -Oh, God! So soon?
I didn't ask her what she wants
Let me go and ask her
Why ask? She'll eat whatever I cook
Ready... 1, 2, 3
Shanmuga has entered her body
Follow me
Help me quickly Come on
Don't stamp my feet, moron!
What a mess You, zip it! You too!
Hush! Silence!
Don't yell Listen to me
Everybody, keep quiet
Get me the batter for dosa
Get a plate
You are a superchef!
Fantastic!
Let's lay the table
Did I really cook all this now?
Did I really cook all this?
I'm coming, dear
Rudra will come here to eat in a short while
Lay the table quietly, go
Shall I polish the utensils?
The whole palace should be gleaming, idiot!
And get the horse treated!
Pat her head
If you do anything...
No, you--
Come over here
Look, what is she up to?
So strange!
Did you add a power booster instead of poison?
Come quick
You want me to lift you and run?
My back will break into two
She is still alive and jumping!
-She'll make me lose weight -Somebody make her sleep
Looks like she's getting ready to sleep
What is she doing?
Shanmuga, what is she doing now?
First, let her sleep and then I'll think of something
Finally she is resting
I have no idea what she is up to
I feel so much at peace now
Everything will be fine now
Aren't you staying in that palace?
Yes, grandma Why do you ask?
There are ghosts in that palace
Look how Rudra's plan has worked out
Be quiet
Yes, my daughter
I am not talking about your daughter
Every full moon night, whoever stays at that palace and eats ends up dead
Thank God you came over here
If you had been there, you would have reached heaven!
Let's rush back
Is she okay?
What is it? Has she slept?
Her face is deathly pale I hope she isn't dead
You are dead too Does it mean you are fair?
-Even 10 layers of make-up won't do -Shut up
Even without make-up, she is fairer than steamed idlis!
You are dead too Does it mean you're fair?
She is moving!
What is she doing?
Ma, this is what happened to me too
Each and every one of you is a genius, I swear!
We messed it up somewhere
Maybe I shouldn't have given her water
-Correct -Hey, wait!
I will try to wake her up
Who are you?
Don't you watch TV? We are Hollywood superstars
Shut up
Are you able to see all of us, dear?
Hovering over me like a swarm of bees, how can I not see you?
Who are all of you?
All our efforts gone down the drain
All our dreams have crashed!
What do we do now? Let's go to our room
Do you remember me?
Pig-mouth fellow?
Rudra
Pig mouth it seems
Rudra... Rudra
Why are you getting flustered? I am sitting right here
-A granny at the temple said something -Wait, all of you
Mahendra, she called me "pig-mouth fellow"
Let's hold a condolence meeting
Wait, turn back and look at them
We are worried about you Why are you staring there?
She is able to see them
That means she is still alive
-How can she see and hear us then? -I know, how?
What is bothering you?
What are you staring weirdly at?
"Rudra..."
Then you mean to say all of you are ghosts?
Yes, of course
Madam, how many times should I repeat this?
Why should I believe you?
One minute Come here
-Why, Shanmuga? -Just come
-Touch him -Stop it!
-Ask her to touch me -You wanton man!
Madam, touch
Stop that
I didn't ask you to tickle him!
I just wanted to prove it to you
Then are all of you actual absolute ghosts?
What are you blabbering about? Go away
Insulting us ghosts
One second, Shanmuga
Aren't you the reason I'm able to see all of you?
You put your heads together and tried to kill me
No, no, no...
If I put my mind to it, your plan can be banned
Is it the wedding band?
Even after becoming a ghost, you haven't changed
Are you threatening me?
Will you complain to the temple priest? Please do
Shanmuga, don't be rude
You blackberry, this is an open challenge from her
How can a human terrorise a ghost?
-And you're supporting her -That means
You are invisible to normal eyes
My dear girl, you are the only ghost who is alive who can see us
-Oye! -Listen, madam
Only if you wish we can be released from here
Give it serious thought
We have been captives here for years together
Okay, on one condition
What?
If you help me acquire this palace
I will help you step out of this place
Deal?
Look at her bargaining with a fraid of ghosts
Deal!
Escape pact signed, right? All of you go to your room
Carry this hand pump out of here
Everyone needs special instruction Get up and clear out
Madam
Don't you remember anything?
About what?
-About what? -Mind your business
Or I will kill you again
Tell me what it is!
You mean to say only you can see ghosts?
Oh! How many times to tell you?
I don't believe you one bit
Shanmuga
Aim at her mouth!
Do you accept now?
Shanmuga threw Now it's your turn
What's happening?
Stop it, I didn't ask you to have a throwing competition!
Stop it! What are you doing?
-I'm dead -Why did you hit him?
Treat me with respect
Rudra, you're talking to empty space
Hope no ghost is sitting around us
Yes, Grandpa
Kabir, I hope you know the significance of today
Yes, I know, Grandpa I'm on my way to the palace
I'll call you after I reach
Check inside, I am sure they will be dead and sprawled all over
Take an ambulance with you
If anyone is alive, call me, I'll come
Okay
Okay, dear
Because you have convinced me
let us join hands to help release those ghosts from captivity
Thank you, sir
Papa, Shanmuga is extending his hand for a handshake
-Thank you -Papa
Left side... no, right side
Papa, 1 second
-Thank you -Not this side, over there
What is this, my dear? I can't feel anything at all
I don't even know who is where How can I help him?
If I dress up these ghosts, at least we can see their real forms
I have an idea
There are many dresses stored here
Here?
Why? What is the matter?
Have you come here before?
Do you remember this place?
Do you remember me?
-I know -What do you know?
You are the ghost masterchef
True, but do you know how I became a ghost?
Everyone becomes a ghost after they die, right?
Correct, go in
I don't know how to retrieve her memory
No one is here
I think the ghost must be in the washroom
It's been 70 years since we relieved ourselves!
Wow!
It's been decades since I entered this room
No one has stepped into this room after I died
How did she come here?
Whose room is this? It's terrible
It's the king's room, he built it for you with so much love
You meant the world to him
That's what I'm asking
Why has your master made this junk of a room?
Madam, don't curse my master without thinking properly
First, look around the room
What's so special?
Is it made of precious stones that I have to praise your king?
How do you know about the room in here?
Your master told me
Come in
From the moment she came, she's taking digs at my master
What is this? These steps are making my head spin
Madam, not just steps
Whatever he does will make you go dizzy
What is your verdict now? Aren't you shell-shocked?
It seems to be a hall of mirrors
Did he build a glass palace or a barbershop?
Barbershop?
Madam, he specially bought thousands of mirrors from Jodhpur
Go in further
I brought them here
Where have they disappeared?
It's puzzling
Shocked, huh?
Are you wondering why we are still alive?
All because of you, my daughter is possessed by a spirit
-What? -Hey!
We trusted you and stayed here, and she is refusing to leave now
She refuses to leave, huh? I'll give you two tight slaps
Are you teaching a snake how to hiss?
I can deal with her You leave this palace
Ghost or witch, I can handle this
Why aren't you believing us?
Not just one or two There is an army of ghosts
Yes, of course
Hey, ghostly team!
You scared us with how many pranks
Show him your spooky antics
-What are you dawdling for? -I'm trying to lift it
I can't lift anything
What's happening?
What happened?
No flying objects today?
What happened? Are they missing in action?
They are resting They will come now
We will deal with the ghosts if they land up, you clear out now
Where are the other two frauds? Come on, out you go
What are you doing?
-Son-in-law, did you hit them? -No
Then who hit them if you didn't either?
We can't touch anything We have lost all our power
This is very stressful
Don't be alarmed It must be for something good
Let us go and inform Shanmuga
Come
-Tell me -I think our palace is haunted
Speechless, huh?
Shanmuga, it could have been painted a bit
Then call my king to clear the cobwebs
Come here Do you know what this is?
I think it can fetch us Rs 30,000 easily
I bet you have a shop in Chor Bazaar Come in
Madam, come here
Do you remember this?
Think deeply It will strike a chord
Seems like a boring game
The knife will poke you in your butt, put it back
Stealing your own possessions
Madam, come here
Two pillows, one bed and a basket of apples, remember?
Get lost!
You are chasing me out all the time
Madam, you can't forget even if you want to
Do you recognise this dress?
This wedding dress
Am I such a fool?
True, it is a wedding dress But which bride wore it?
I'll skin you alive!
For the first time in my life, I am stepping into this room
How do you expect me to know about this wedding dress?
Madam, this beautiful room, this wedding dress, this memorable bed
Don't you remember any of this?
From the moment I stepped in here
you keep hounding me with, "Don't you remember this?" repeatedly
What is your problem?
Madam, come close
Come closer
Madam, this room is yours
This wedding dress is also yours
You wore this on your wedding day
You were so beautiful then
Only now--
Do ghosts also go crazy?
What can I do if you didn't eat enough nuts in your childhood to enhance your memory?
My one last hope
Here it is
Oh, God! His face is missing?
Doesn't matter Let me try
Madam
This is Devendra Singh Rathore
Who is standing next to him? Take your time, think and tell me
This is... actually
I stole an identical dress from a showroom and wore it
Stolen outfit?
Someone has done a neat job of photoshopping my face
What is your plan now?
I think I have to commit suicide
How do I make her understand? God, please help me
Madam, come here
Do you recognise this mountain?
This palace has been built in between these mountains
How is this bald mountain of any use to anyone?
Who will buy it?
Only a prize fool will buy it
It won't fetch a handsome price contrary to your opinion
I agree with your point But what will you do with it?
After independence, I am told the government is acquiring land
Instead of the government acquiring your land
it is better to sell it for a good price
Even if you get Rs 200 to 300, it is a good deal, right?
Even if you sell for less, it is still hard cash
Instead of a dead mountain standing there
it can be cash in your locker safe and sound
All that sounds good But where do I find such a buyer?
You leave it to me
We are here to auction Gajendra Singh's land
Initial bid for this mountain is Rs 1,000
Listen, who will give you Rs 1,000 for this?
-What is your father's name? -Ramnik Lal's son, Manik Lal
This auction is not meant for Ramnik Lal's son, Manik Lal
The price of this mountain is Rs 1,000
You want it, buy or else leave it
Rs 1,500
Rs 1,500 going once
Devendra Singh Rathore sir is here
Rs 1,500 going twice
Devendra Singh Rathore
Rs 1,500 going thrice
-Sir, hope you won't misunderstand me -Speak up, Shanmuga
If my grandfather wanted to will this to me, I would have buried him alive
What was the compulsion to buy?
You might as well buy this village
instead of spending Rs 1,500 on this mountain
Go and finish the paperwork
As you wish, sir
What are you thinking?
Wondering why he's parting with such an exorbitant sum
Hope there is no hidden treasure
Anyway, we got a good bargain
Greetings
Greetings, Mr Rathore
Why did you buy this mountain for such an exorbitant amount?
Everything in this world possesses a unique quality
It is how you look at it
Then its innate value emerges to the outside world
I don't understand
You will understand very soon Thank you
Sir, all is well that ends well
Shall we go?
-I'll take my leave -Goodbye
Your Highness, you won't mind if I repeat this question?
What, Shanmuga?
What is it we lack you had to buy that mountain?
You want to know?
One day I was feeling out of sorts
I drove up to this mountain all by myself
I heard a strange wail
Wail?
I looked around in all directions
I didn't find anyone
Was it a ghost, sir?
No, listen to my story fully
I looked intently and I realised the sadness emanated from the mountain
How can a mountain express sadness to you?
Why not, Shanmuga?
Have I ever lied to you?
-The mountain asked me... -What?
"Will you take me with you?"
So, I asked around about its owner
I was told Zamindar Gajendra owned it
He auctioned it today
I bought it from him End of story
All right, the mountain was sad and gloomy, it shed tears
Why did you bid Rs 500 more and buy it?
I promised to make it happy but made it wait for six months
I felt bad about that
That extra Rs 500 was the punishment I meted out to myself
Now if you go near the mountain
you will hear a peal of laughter echo from the mountain top?
I saw the whole village laugh at you for overbidding
What did you say, Shanmuga?
No, sir, your golden heart will make your cup of gladness overflow always
Is that praise or sarcasm?
How can you ask that? You are a god to be praised
But you never value my good deeds?
I won't utter a word hereafter You can squander your princely state
Golden words from your own mouth!
Get down and find out what is wrong
I told you not to take the car We should have taken the horse
Will a horse emit smoke? You won't pay heed to me
-A horse will nip your throat -That's nothing new
Finish and then come drink tender coconut water
Sir, are you emptying all the coconuts?
Have you found someone to fix the car?
Drop that and come Consider it fixed
How can I be of any use? Finish the task and tell me
If you come and see for yourself, you will experience utopia
Coming
Thank you very much
Come soon
Our king
Hi
Hello
Not a problem Your radiator got heated up
-We'll wait for it to cool down -Yes
Can you get some water, please?
Hey! Get a pot of water
Thank you
You can start the car now
She is asking you to get the horse
Horse?
No, no, not the horse
The car You can start the car now
Behave like royalty Remember you are the king
Okay
So, next time when you change the coolant oil
make sure your air pockets are flushed
Then there won't be a problem
So, I won't face any problem after this?
There might be
You have to maintain it
Talk to her Take care of her
Then she will be comfortable with you
-There you go -Thank you so much
It's too hot Take care
What?
Vehicle
That car... is going to hit me?
Okay
Shall I go now?
Yes, you may
Thank you
Sir, wear your glasses
Why did he pay Rs 1,500 and buy that mountain?
Does he know something I am unaware of?
Don't slash my neck
Hi
Welcome
How are you?
I am fine How are you?
I'm quite well, thank you
I forgot to ask your name the other day
I'm Annabelle
And you?
Devendra Singh Rathore
And how is she?
What does she lack?
I fuel her up thrice a day She sleeps four times a day
Miss Queen leads a royal life!
What are you doing here?
I came here to take some pictures
And you?
I came...
to practise fencing
The world has moved on to guns and cannons
How come you are still practising sword fighting?
I am learning an art
Not to kill another person
It is a sport to keep our mind and body fit
Why don't you try your hand at this?
I can teach you
Who says I don't know how to sword fight?
All of you, disperse
Then why did you ask me why I am learning this art?
I just wanted to know what you think about it
I was fencing with the wind, huh?
Hey! Did all of you get scared or what?
Hello, madam
All right
Some beautiful architectural frames are calling me, I'll take my leave
And...
I'll fight with you some other day
What is she saying, sir?
She knows sword fighting it seems I asked her if she is game
What was her reply?
All the buildings in our village are waiting for her to take photos
This is too much!
You claim the mountain talks to you She's talking to walls
I am the only ass standing here listening to all this?
-Right, sir? -What, Shanmuga?
-Nothing -Go, fetch water
I understand
Why does he go into a daze when he sees that British madam?
"I heard someone knock at My heart's door"
"Perhaps it was you"
"No one else before you, dear"
"Has entered in here"
Okay, bye I'll see you
All right, Annabelle
Shall I chaperon you?
Why?
Because he is the king
Do you know what a king's duty is?
I know
Helping beautiful damsels in distress
and, even if they decline, still helping them stubbornly
Shanmuga, have I ever hit you?
-When I was 7 years old -Remember that
Annabelle, you helped me when you did not know who I was
You have come to my princely state
I hope you--
What does this laughter signify?
Means let's go
Okay, come, let's go
"All along The many paths I strode"
"In loneliness I was engulfed cold"
"Refreshing rain reassuringly"
"Decided to shower on me"
"All these days where were you?"
"O my friend, so true"
"Don't lose control Of your heart and soul"
"Tread prudently Treat it ever so gently"
"In my life, this is first love"
"Tread carefully now"
"I feel freed from my sorrow"
"For the first time, my love"
I love this village
And the people of the village too
There is another place
A beautiful spot
No one has been there till now
Really?
It's here in this village or somewhere outside?
Here
Why didn't you show it to me till now?
Because it is in my mind
If you give me permission
I can build it
I... I didn't understand that
If you agree to marry me
I will start building our dream palace
Okay
Did you understand what I said?
You said, right, you'll start the work of the palace?
Then start the work
No, Annabelle
I...
You... We...
Do you understand?
Yes, Veera
I will marry you
What is it, Shibu? Is a ghost chasing you?
What is it, Shibu?
Sir, that king is building a palace on Gajendra's land
What?
Did I hear you right?
I thought there was buried treasure, but that idiot wants to build a palace
Such a waste of money!
Shibu, this village has so much vacant land
What is so special about that mountain?
It is still a mystery to me
Fine, what do I care? It's his money he is spending
I was having sleepless nights worrying about this like a mad man
And he is building a palace
Father, what are you saying?
Leave it
You won't understand even if I try to explain
Forget it
A mad king wants to build a palace
Shibu, has the king finished building his palace?
This is our king's dream of a lifetime
It is a combination of his ingenuity and creativity
and a manifestation of his aesthetic sense
"I have met so many men"
"Hundred or more even"
"Now what has come over me? I have no clue honestly"
"It occurs to me I want to be"
"By your side for eternity"
"If I am separated from you somehow"
"I can't even breathe, my love"
"Every second of my life anew"
"I have reserved only for you"
"Don't lose control Of your heart and soul"
"Tread prudently Treat it ever so gently"
"In my life, this is first love"
"Tread carefully now"
"I feel freed from my sorrow"
"For the first time, my love"
"This is first love truly"
"Don't rush in anxiously"
"Don't lose control Of your heart and soul"
Uncle, Mr Gajendra has come to meet you
I don't wish to see anyone
He insists he will go only after he meets you
I don't wish to see anyone!
Chandraban, why are you torturing yourself?
After all, it's just a palace
We can easily build its replica
If you replicate it, it's called a copy
But that will always be the original
I want only the original
How does it make a difference?
You will have the same art, architecture,
the same sculpture, garden, kitchen
I don't know how to make you understand!
King Raja Chola built many temples
His son also built many temples
But which temple is famous?
Only Rajarajeswara Temple in Tanjore built by Raja Chola
Why?
Because Raja Chola built that temple first
That is the original with lofty ideals and grandeur intact
That splendour and elegance is a result of his creativity
That power...
Bring that block of gold, dear
Uncle
Go inside, dear
Yes, uncle
You see this chunk of gold?
It's the first solid block extracted from Kolar gold mines
This was not mine
But today
I am its proud owner
My friend sacrificed his life for this to come into my possession
This dream came true because of my perseverance
There is only one way for you to get that palace
Talk to King Devendra
Nice
A little bit to the right
On top
-Yeah... yeah -Here?
Here?
Thank you
How sweet of you
Your Highness, how can you massage even if you are in love?
Have you forgotten you are a king?
-Shanmuga -What, ma'am?
Sit
He's my husband first
Then your king
It's his responsibility to take care of me
Sir, what is madam saying?
A man's most important task is to respect a woman
Right?
If a king forgets that
how will he take care of his people?
Fantaastic!
Supreb!
-Amaazi! -What is that?
Ma'am taught me English
She taught me three words if I have to compliment anyone
But I don't understand one thing
He converses in Hindi, and you reply in English
How do you both communicate?
He knows English, Shanmuga
But he doesn't speak
I understood only my name Nothing else made sense
[in Hindi] He knows English
but he won't speak the language
What is your problem, sir?
How happy I'll be if you both converse in English fluently?
I'll feel proud
What is there to be proud of, Shanmuga?
She understands what I speak
I understand what she says
Isn't that enough?
All that is fine
But when both of you have a child, what language will that kid speak?
Knowledge is different from language
Those with intelligence will understand
-Correct -Thank you
Your Highness?
A minor king has come from our neighbouring village
Go, he will come now
One second
Now go
How do I look?
You look lovely
Welcome... please sit down
-Greetings -Greetings
Hope you are doing well Please take a seat
Ram Singh!
Your palace is beautiful
Please have some
What did you say?
-What refreshment would you like? -No, thank you, I am good
All right, tell me
I thought you bought this land to belittle one of your foes
to prove your point
When I came here and saw this...
Such a beautiful palace in a plot fit for nothing
-Hat's off to your creativity -Thank you
It's been my long-standing wish to build a beautiful palace like this
After my demise
this whole village, town, world should celebrate and praise it
But you have excelled in it before I could
Now I have lost in the bargain
I would like to buy this palace
Forgive me
I have never sent anyone empty-handed
Unlike your dream, my palace is not meant for the world to laud or applaud
This is not to a tribute to my wife's or my life
This is not just a gift to Annabelle
This is a small token of my love
I don't even have the right to part with this, forgive me
That's all right
It belongs to you It is completely your wish
All right, I shall take my leave
-Goodbye -Just a minute
Ram Singh
I can't send you empty-handed
Therefore
My wife and I planted a tree when we built this palace
This is the first mango plucked from that tree
It will be really delicious
Taste it and you will know for yourself
Please accept this as a token of my affection
Isn't this an ordinary mango? All right, thank you
An entire mango grove is embedded in it
All right, I shall take my leave
This is my wife, Annabelle
-Hello -Greetings
This isn't an ordinary palace
It's like Taj Mahal
The love you both share is one for the ages
It is beyond mere words
You will not only be husband and wife in this birth
But you will be husband and wife in all the births you take henceforth
This is my blessing to you
Thank you
You are welcome here any time
I'll take my leave
Be very careful
Is that so?
Shall we begin?
If you keep smiling, how will I fight with you?
Who said one should not smile while indulging in a sword fight?
-Grandpa -What is it, dear?
Chotu snatched my doll and hid it from me, Grandpa
I want my doll back!
-Come and ask him -Okay
Let us ask him
Veera, my head's aching
Just a little longer
Who is he?
Guests sent by Chandraban
-Annabelle -Huh?
Sit, take rest
I'll handle them till then
Let's fight... together
Listen to me, Annabelle
What?
-Veera -What happened?
I... I think
I think I'm going to throw up
Shall I come?
No, no
I can handle it
Veera!
What is it?
Veera, I think I'm pregnant
Hey!
I think you're going to be a father
Hey!
Congratulations, Annabelle
Congratulations, Veera
Sir, are you cooking or eating?
-I have to check the taste first -All right
I didn't see your face since morning
Where were you?
So much
You made all of this?
Oh, so sweet--
Sit
What's the occasion?
My darling queen is...
Where are all the servants?
Tell me, my queen!
Veera
What do you want to eat?
-This -You'll have rice?
"How did my dreams dismiss Into a void of emptiness?"
"How did our hearts drift Into the chasm of a rift?"
You are not eating?
"Even if anyone separates us However"
Eat
"My longing"
At least sit with me
"My yearning"
"Even when death do us part"
How did I fare?
"I will love you, sweetheart"
"My longing"
It's delicious!
"My yearning"
"My craving"
"My desire"
"My dream"
"My life's theme"
"My inclination"
"My inspiration"
Hey!
I was the one who poisoned your food
Forgive me if you can
I asked if I could buy your palace
You gave me no choice
Hey!
Wha...
Don't
This is what I like about you
This quality of yours is very endearing
Your simplicity and understanding of nature
I decided right after you threatened me
Even if I sent my entire army, they would have knelt in surrender
That is not the issue
I have no interest in who is the winner or loser
I must get what I desire
That's all
I don't mind whatever crime I have to commit to get my way
[in Hindi] I won't leave you
How many ever births I take
I will... come in search of you
Next birth
Had I wanted, I'd have used a poison that would've killed you instantly
But you love each other mind, body, heart and soul
Even I feel terrible
Fine, I'll let you bid farewell in your last moments on earth
I still have some compassion left in me
Enjoy your last moments alive
I will be waiting outside
Annabelle
Look at me
Hey
He took our lives for this
Doesn't matter
I will not let... let him stay happy
No...
He... he will pay his penance in this palace
He is also just a mortal
He stooped so low only because greed blinded him
We shall forgive him his sins
No
No, no
Watch your step
-Forgive me -No
No, don't say that
I had the most beautiful life with you
I am sorry
Annabelle
I will... always
love you
Love you too
I couldn't do anything that day
No one was in the palace
But I decided to murder his entire family
Who is she, Grandpa?
She was Annabelle
But there is no need for this picture anymore
Shibu
Shanmuga, what is tonight's menu?
Hasn't Chandraban sir informed you?
I know what to cook, you go
-Let me help -Get lost!
-Raghavi? -Yes, uncle?
Where is Vikram?
He got drenched and is unwell
I tucked him into bed
Fine, all of you, eat
One minute
Come here
-You cooked this feast? -Yes, sir
Give him a plate
Go ahead, eat
Mother, Father
Your curse came true
After we died, we became ghosts
But they lost their memory
Grandpa
I knew both of you will return here one day
so I have been protecting this palace from that family's greedy hands
Do you understand at least now what is happening here?
Do you know why I am roaming around here as a ghost?
Did she vanish into thin air?
Madam?
Hello... hello?
Good lord!
Did she listen to my story fully?
I shouldn't have turned my back to her and narrated the flashback
Did you remember your past life listening to my story?
Forget your stupid tales
This dress was tempting me so much
I thought I should try it
I wasn't sure if it would fit me
-It's good, right? I liked it -Oh, my king!
It fits All right, come with me
Let's scare everyone wearing this dress
Madam, where did you find these sandals?
They are mine
Are they yours?
Oh, God!
The cat is out of the bag!
Hi
Were you here all this while?
Shanmuga told me a suspense story
If we narrate this to a good director, we can make it into a blockbuster
-Shut up and go away -Follow me
Mahendra
Did you think even once before you decided to kill us ruthlessly?
Just because we had lost our memory
you spun some yarn and made us believe it
Your father is the one responsible for your deaths!
Will anyone die as soon as he is poisoned?
You were idiots!
You stuffed yourself as soon as the food was served
If you had been patient for 20 minutes, you would be attending my funeral feast
-Shut up! -What do you gain by yelling?
There's no reverse gear for you
Thanks to your father, all of us died and are loitering here as ghosts
Get lost now!
You killed everyone and now you're acting innocent?
I won't die even if you suffocate me
We shouldn't spare him
Not only did he kill us
he tricked us and lived here with us enjoying all the comforts
One has to accept, Shanmuga has been loyal to his employer
How can that be a sin?
This palace doesn't belong to us
That's so true
We should understand something
We should think of some way to escape from this palace
Rudra is our salvation
If we return it to her as the rightful owner,
we can leave this palace
What do you think, my beloved husband?
True, only after Rudra came here, new things happened
If we need to leave, let us give back the palace to her
-Agreed -Correct
Come out!
Are you the ghost?
My father's daughter is the ghost
He isn't a ghost He is just a lunatic
-Who are you, sir? -Isn't that rich?
We took pity on you and made you stay here
Are you enacting a drama as if you are possessed by a spirit, huh?
Who is possessed?
Who is refusing to leave this place?
Nothing like that, sir
We are dying to scoot from here
Are you playing me for a fool?
I refused to leave
Annabelle?
I understand now
Because you were killed here, a curse lingered through the years
You have come to retrieve this palace
Aren't you Annabelle?
Me? Annabelle?
Annabelle?
What's wrong with him, Papa? All of them call me Annabelle!
-Is he mad or what? -How do I know?
Do you know who is Annabelle?
A famous ghost in a Hollywood film
Do I look like a ghost to you?
You want to kill me and seize this palace
I won't let it happen
Stop eating my head!
Why would I kill you?
If you don't believe me, ask the ghost standing here
Shanmuga?
-Is she nuts? -Shanmuga, where are you?
Come here
-Shan-- -He won't come
That is okay
There is a ghost right beside you Go ahead and ask him
-Ask away -Ask whom?
Aren't you Annabelle?
Now I know why you came to this palace
You want to own this palace, don't you?
You are hopeless!
Seeing her talk to empty air, it means my grandfather is here
Grandpa, I am sure you can hear me
I will kill her in front of you and get back my inheritance
-Will you kill my daughter? -Grab her!
Run, run!
-Run for your life -What are you doing?
Not me Go and get her
This way Hurry up
Ma, not that way, this way
Wait
She's going that way Let's go
Where are you going? Just tell me!
Didn't you come looking for me?
You remember the past now?
I want to ask you something
-Answer to the point -Tell me, ma'am
-Turn around -About the flashback?
Go ahead
I had to rack my brains to make you remember your past
Why aren't you asking me anything? Go ahead and ask
Are you playing hopscotch?
Are you selected in the football team?
Run... Let's go
Where did she disappear?
Madam!
-Oh, no! Mahendra is chasing me -Where are you running off to?
Hey! What are you doing?
Why are they running that way? You come with me, quick
He broke it!
Did you know?
I was a champion in wrestling
You wouldn't have known that
Let go!
Catch it
Dented for life, huh?
Wait for me, I'm coming
Hide here
Mummy!
Why couldn't they put in an escalator?
Move aside
Let's go, go, go...
Look, man Don't mess with me
Papa!
-Where are you going? -Stop!
Any of you, come near me, I'll hit you with this stone
-Get back -Move back
Do not interfere!
He has challenged a Rajput He will be punished!
Let's decide who wins once and for all
Come on
Face me up front
I served you only biryani, but you asked for steamed rice
I had no remorse when you died, but I felt terrible your wife died too
Why should you feel terrible about my wife dying?
How can one ghost hide from another successfully?
Let me hide this side
Where did he go?
-This way or that? -This way
-Come -This direction
No one is around?
-Hello -Hey! You again?
First, get out of my sight Get out!
Why are you shooing me away?
Do you know I killed an entire family for your sake?
For my sake?
-I'll break your teeth -Why?
Who is that old man?
Why are they calling me Annabelle?
I don't even have a friend by that name
Trying to trigger your memory, I will forget my own name
I'll tell you something now You'll immediately remember
Do you remember we used to go up to the terrace
to stand under the sun to dry our hair? Because of that, I tanned severely
Why are you taking the life out of me like this?
I don't even remember what I had for breakfast
Then listen to me
This is the whole truth
You were the queen in this palace
I was your army chief
I'll beat you up! You were the cook here, right?
So, you have a crystal-clear memory for this alone?
Wait, tell me what happened in sequential order
Where do I begin?
Listen, that time, you were Annabelle
You were born in London, but you came to our princely state
What? Are you saying I was a foreigner?
Stop spinning new tales
Which director has an original script?
They just recycle old wine in new bottles, what to do?
Forget the reel life Come back to our real life
Don't you remember anything...
Madam, come inside
Papa!
All of us are around you
Can't you see us?
How will he be able to see us, o lord?
It is so sultry Oh, God!
Poor soul!
Shanmuga, run
Madam, it's been ages since I saw you with a sword in your hand
Slice his head in one stroke
You were a champion swordswoman
Try to save yourself if you can
He won't be able to hear a single word, shut up!
Whom are you talking to now?
What are you waiting for?
Grab her!
Shanmuga, do something
Stop, stop
He is chasing me
Papa... Papa
What, my dear? What happened?
Where were you? Your mother is also here
Rudra
Are you gathered here for a match? Why aren't you helping me?
I was sitting right there I couldn't see anyone
-I have no idea what's happening -Where are all the ghosts?
What is this?
Rudra, forgive us We are unable to help you
-Shanmuga! -Madam
Do something Take us out of here
My back is aching
I'm not coming there You deal with it
I know you are Annabelle
Again this dialogue!
Annabelle it seems
Like I said before, I'll kill you and gift this palace to my grandfather
We shouldn't let this happen, Ma
This palace belongs to Annabelle
Let us return it to her
We have lost the power to touch or lift anything, dear
What?
What are you thinking?
What is happening to all of us?
What is it?
Hi!
It's that same feeling when Rudra stepped in here
What is happening here?
Hi
Are you all right?
Be safe
Go
Okay
Get out of this place
Go... get lost!
Sit down
What is going on?
Who are you?
What is your business here? Leave this palace
Sir, ask him who is to blame
Hey, wait!
Come with me, sir
First of all, introduce yourself
Kabir, inspector of police
Sir... sir, one minute
Sir, stay right here Don't go anywhere
You are new here You don't know anything
You are the ideal choice to be the mediator and give a just verdict
-We have a witness -How will he know, Ma?
How is he connected to what is happening here?
How can he decide about our family dispute?
Tell me
Son of an ass! Shut up
What does it matter who gives the verdict?
Our work should get done
Silence!
I wanted to ask you the moment I came in
Have we met before?
No chance we would have met
-No way -Brother
Perhaps in some police station
You would've seen pictures of wanted criminals
A family of frauds
Listen, you brand us as frauds because we steal
Being a policeman, you are sailing in the same boat!
-You are all frauds -How dare you!
Fraud!
I will throw all four of you behind bars
You don't know who I am
You are a king of frauds
Why are you making such a racket and behaving like children?
Silence!
-Shut up! -Sir... sir, please
I accept we are all thieves
At least we are honest
This is my grandfather's property
My grandson made them stay here to chase away the ghosts
Hey! Are we tantrics or Aghoris?
-Do we wear garlands made of skulls? -Silence...
Listen to me first
Actually, the government has acquired this property
It will be announced as an iconic place
I came to inform that
Which means this will become a national heritage site
and a tourist spot
That means we have to buy a token and enter this palace?
-Definitely -Then why be here?
Why stick around here then? We'll move to our next contract
What a waste of time! Token it seems
-See you, boss -Let's go, dear
If we steal, it is illegal
If the government steals by passing a law, is that right?
Such arm-twisting tactics!
Sir, this is our inherited property
Why should we hand it over?
Is it your legacy?
Going by the stories I have heard
you don't even own a single brick in this palace
Quietly make your exit
Had your grandfather's grandfather been alive
we'd have filed a case and put him behind bars
As long as you zip your lips, you are safe
-Understood -If you have doubts, ask my assistant
We have documents as proof, sir
Bring them to my office for interrogation
Go, go, you won't find anything inside
Hey, girl!
-Stop -Boss, Rudra
Is that her name? How do you know?
I have seen many thieves, but never an honest and professional one like her
You are in love with her, right?
Yes, how did you find out?
Your pace gives it away
Tomorrow if you marry her, make me your assistant
-Get lost! -Boss
She loves lollipop
Give this and propose to her
I have something else I'll handle it, go
Rudra
-Hey! -What?
I know another beautiful place Shall we go there?
Will I be able to steal at least over there?
Why not?
You can start your "job"
Where?
In this same district
Where in this district?
It is in my head, if you permit me I can build it for us
Okay, done
That means?
You said you would build something, go ahead
I don't understand
Thief of my heart!
No logic at all
What is the use of keeping this palace spotless all these decades?
Neither do they remember anything nor do they care
Devendra Singh Rathore sir
I am taking leave of this palace
-Did you hit them? -No
-You didn't hit them either? -No
Then who did?
