[in Hindi] She has gained immense power.

I will bring this spirit under my control.

Only this spirit can make our clan the strongest.

I'll form a new way…

And definitely I will accomplish it.

Hello, Mummy!

Harilal, this stack isn't as thick as I asked.

For now, this will have to do.

Shut up, you dodo.

Screw you!

Argh!

Bony has always reacted in situations like this!

And he shall continue to!

The game changes!

The nerve of you to throw mixture at me!

-Fight me face to face! -Excuse me?

It wasn't me. It was him!

Oh, so this was a reaction?

Let me tell you this before I pass out.

-Malayali? -Yeah.

I want you to buy me a beer.

The same brand and the same quantity!

I'll do it. But not because you asked.

-Only for you to chill. -Sure.

In that case, I'll chill your ice cream as well.

Ouch!

You little shit!

Aha, that was a fair shot!

Now, we're even.

Whack him, Bony!

Don't let him get away!

Give him one tight slap!

Same, same but different!

Crack his head open, bro!

What's this? A tree trunk?

You can do it!

Hit him!

Knock him out cold!

Bony!

-Argh! -Oh no!

Bro! Stay strong! I'll be right back!

Taxi? Start the car.

See you, folks.

Please take him to the hospital.

He played foul! The swine!

See you, bro. Please move!

Philip sir, the damage occurred during peak hours.

Four and a half lakhs doesn't cover it.

Hell no, I'll pay only three lakhs!

That's no small amount!

Even in a lifetime, it's impossible to drink through three lakhs.

Can you give three and a half packs instead of mumbling, Dad?!

Three and a half lakhs! Can do?

-I won't! No! -Not a dime!

-What will you do? -As if…

-Wait… David etta? -Yes.

Am I not a regular customer there?

This isn't the first time.

-Bony, please try to understand. -What?

We're only stating our losses.

-Here's the bill. -Hey…

-I'm done with this, Father Sibi! -Hm.

Now, I'll have to sit and listen to him crib about the money.

Calm down. I'll find a solution to this today.

When will I ever find peace?

First, it was his dad.

He picked up fights everywhere.

Now that he's sobered up, it's my son!

The Lord…

The Lord hasn't granted me peace in this lifetime.

Your ability to cry on the spot!

I commend you, Soyamma!

I'll get your coffee.

-I'll take it strong with less sugar. -Whatever…

Darling, did you tell Thomson that I'm here?

I did. He's on his way here.

I see. Let him get here.

I need to talk to him too.

-Three is enough. -Weren't you there at the brawl?

No, I wasn't.

It wouldn't have happened if I were there.

Anyway…

the bar guys left with four months’ rent of two shutters.

If this repeats,

I'll shut down his pet shop and your matchmaking business.

And I'll rent it out to real men.

Only then will it be worth anything.

Please don't make such rash decisions, Dad.

I'll talk to him.

He'll change.

Yeah, right. Let's see about that.

I do fight.

But it stays within budget. Don't you know that?

-Soyamma… -There she goes again.

Soyamma!

Leave me alone!

Thomson, my boy.

-Do I see you as a son-in-law? -No.

-Don't I see you as my own child? -Yes.

Bring him a suitable alliance.

It's not that I haven't, it's him who has to…

He'll surely change.

You wait and watch. Father Sibi will change him!

What's the point of advising you?

It runs in the blood, you see.

Your dad was a bigger thug than you.

It is incurable!

You haven't told me your decision yet.

-I married my sister to you. -Thank you.

Now, why should I marry for you?

Listen, if another issue comes up…

your dad won't let me in the house.

He'll shut down our businesses.

And Soyamma's emotional blackmail on top of that!

Please, Bony!

Listen up.

Take these things with you.

Facials for cats! Scram!

-What's wrong with you, Bony? -I'll tell you what is.

But my issue is my survival!

Shall we consider that TTC graduate? She's great!

Forget TTC! Even a PhD won't work!

-Hey, dude! You were great yesterday! -Really?

Yeah, I saw the whole thing because I stood on the table.

-You didn't hear any screaming? -No!

What were you talking about?

-We're discussing something personal. -Yeah, it's personal.

What's so personal? Tell me!

He's trying to marry me off and bag a commission out of it.

What are you, his guinea pig?

Haven't we told you a thousand times

that we'll be single till death?

Come on, we’re discussing our family affairs.

Can you not butt into this, please?

So sad…

When it comes to what matters,

-you're a family, huh? -Huh?

And I'm no one! Sorry.

Bony, my guy?

Do you know what our greatest curse is?

Our scheming families!

I want you to decide right away!

Do you want your family

or this friend who'll always stick by you?

Got it? Have some gratitude!

Bro! Leave it!

I've found a solution to our issue with great difficulty.

-What? -I've got an idea.

-Nah, that won't work. -But it's a safe bet.

I’ve found you someone with the most unusual demand.

You just need to go there and meet the girl.

And they'll reject you!

This will bring us some peace at home for the next six months.

-What say? -What?

How can you be so sure they'll reject me?

This is a high-profile alliance.

A dad and daughter who settled here from Shimla.

She lost her mother early in life.

There's no way they'll like you.

-I can assure you that. -How?

She's a JRF aspirant.

You haven't even stepped into college.

She's the daughter of a retired math professor.

And you're a merciless loan shark's son.

She dreams of becoming a scientist.

And you have a pet shop.

Moreover, they want the groom to move in with them after the wedding.

Fret not, my dude.

I'm sure she'll reject you and it won't work out.

Is that so?

I'll meet her, then.

I have a demand as well.

I rejected her.

That's what everyone should know.

Alright, sounds good!

I don't see anyone here!

I'll wait for two minutes. Any later and I'm leaving!

Hang in there. I'll send you her number. Try calling her?

I don't want all that!

-I have no space in my phone. -You should be able to recognize her.

I'll send you her photo.

Take a look, chill and--

Hi!

-I'm Stephy! -Bony.

Have you been waiting for long?

Oh. No, no. I just got here.

-How did you recognize me? -The agency sent me your details.

Ah.

Even I received your details, photos, etc.

Aren't you a Math professor?

No, that's my dad.

Oh…

Who's the scientist, then?

I'm preparing for JRF.

-You sound confused? -A bit, yes.

I'll clear it for you. We were first in Shimla.

It's been four years since we settled in Kerala.

My mother…

Yeah, I know about that.

Time is 11:15 a.m. Down Hill Indiana Café.

She enters the story and talks to the guy.

-Bony? -Yes.

Do you always…

-Do you always wear your sunglasses? -No, no, no! I uh--

I took part in a power slap tournament

and ended up clashing with a tough guy.

Yeah, how did that--

That happened when he slapped my face.

It was a brawl at the bar and I was bashed up real good.

Are you always this straightforward?

Not always. Basically, I'm an introvert!

-Introvert? -Your smile…

I'll show you some photos of mine, without any filter.

-Are you a dog lover? -Yep, yep.

Aren't you?

No?

I do like dogs.

-Then what? -But, they don't seem to like me back.

Why?

Which dog wouldn't like you?

Oh! She's laughing!

Here, let me get you a tissue.

-Thanks! -Take it!

Didn't expect that to work so well.

I didn't have plans to marry.

I'm just enjoying being single.

-Bony… -But Stephy…

We've just met.

I think we should get to know each other better.

We will!

Yes, we shall!

Okay.

Kids! Let me see him, please.

Bony? Bony!

How did it go?

Shall I tell Soyamma that you didn't like her?

I like her!

She is all I want!

Get lost!

Dude…

You like her. But does she like you?

Even if she likes you back, will your family approve?

That's your headache.

Bony, living at your wife's house isn't very nice.

-Look at the camera! -Come on, pose.

Cheese!

Welcome everyone,

to the obscure world of criminal activities.

Here begin the endless stories

of wrath and vengeance.

The Boss Diaries.

Samuel. D.

There's a new man in his daughter, Stephy's, life.

Who's that guy?

Why did Stephy meet him?

Are there obscure plans at play?

We need answers to several questions.

-Dad? -Yeah.

I need to tell you something about Bony.

Must be something expensive, then.

No, Dad. It's good news.

Pfft! Good? Him? Yeah, right.

Can you hear me out?

He met a girl at Thomson's insistence.

A beautiful girl and he really likes her.

Her name's Stephy.

♪ Marry me! ♪

♪ Time to fly! ♪

-She is indeed beautiful! -Look!

-Does he really like her? -Yeah.

See?

Father Sibi's advice worked.

Wait. Before you finalize it, you must know that

her family has a demand.

A demand? They want dowry from us?

No, no, not that.

They want the groom from us.

Oh! Adoption!

Exactly? Shall we take this forward?

You're lucky I took my blood pressure medication.

No Aanatharikkal man will stay at his wife's house!

Shameless fool!

Why don't you meet a few more prospects before deciding?

My boy is an eligible bachelor!

Keep your bias aside and I'll tell you something.

It's very difficult for guys in Kerala to find brides.

-Here, here! -I'm sick of these dogs.

Look at this. I'm going to send it to her.

"I'm Stephy's dad.

I'd like you to fill the application form attached

and send it back along with the required documents."

"Yours faithfully, Samuel Jose."

What?

Umm, actually… My dad wrote that to you.

I've lots to tell you about him.

He wakes up every day beating the 5 a.m. alarm.

Then, he exercises without fail.

Being a former mathematics teacher, he's particular about measurements.

He excels at singing ghazals.

He has genuinely laughed only while watching one movie.

Meow!

-Do you have any prior experience? -No.

This isn't what I had in mind.

A Lagotto Romagnolo is what I want.

-This isn't a matchmaking agency. -That's not my fault.

-Mine either. -Talk to Bony. He might know. Go.

Lagotto?

-Romagnolo. -Romagnolo!

Lagotto Mangalaro… Roberto Mangalaro…

Robert Mangalore… Must be related to Bony.

Dolma…

Tomato… Potato…? Something like that.

But I--

Oh, no. He was right here!

-Not any more, though. -Where's the cash?

He was right here!

A note's stuck on the pup.

Did you also use it as collateral? Stuck on the pup!

I've said what I had to. It's your choice now.

But whatever it is, you've to put up with

all shortcomings on your own.

That's all!

No, Bony. Everything I said is important.

Also,

did you seriously consider it before agreeing

to move into my house after the wedding?

Stephy, wherever we live, will be our home.

What is this "my house, your house"?

Wherever we decide to settle, you'll be by my side, right?

Stephy, I called you several times.

I texted as well.

Why haven't you replied?

Couldn't you send me a reply?

Tell me what the matter is.

Stephy, I've been messaging you for a few days now.

But you aren't responding.

Can you at least tell me what's wrong?

-I warned you about this. -Did I ask for your opinion?

Whether you ask for it or not, shouldn't we find a solution?

It's she who has to decide, not I!

Can't you tell her the matter?

Can't you just text her, asking yes or no?

Mention that there are plenty of women who'd be glad to marry you!

-Tell her I have a matchmaking business! -To hell with your business!

I'll make a decision today. Or I'll continue to wait.

What are you so afraid of?

-What? -Park your butt there.

This will be my final message to you, Stephy.

I won’t contact you again.

It's not that I can't find someone else.

Just let me know if you want to break up.

[phone chimes]

Oh, you're back?

She replied. And everything's okay.

What did she say to your text?

"Let us meet."

And that's going to solve everything?

You idiot!

What if she's planning to dump you in person?

Don't torture me, man.

Stephy… what's the matter?

You haven't texted back nor answered my calls.

Bony, you may not understand even if I explain.

What is it? Are you not okay with this relationship?

Or is it your dad?

No, Dad has no issues.

What is it, then?

Be honest with me!

Are you getting anxious?

Here, drink some water.

Talk to me when you are calm.

We can sort it out only when you speak up!

A good relationship is one where people talk freely.

Imagine me in your position.

I'll tell you whatever I have to say.

Open communication can solve any problem in a relationship.

-I'm all ears for you, Stephy! Tell me! -Bony…

-Tell me! Tell me! -Bony…

My mother doesn't like you, Bony.

So what? I'll convince her…

Wait, mummy…?

What?

Hi!

Hello.

How did it go?

Oh, damn.

Is she dating someone else?

Nope.

Oh, did she say she wanted to focus on her studies?

Nope.

-Give a high-five? -High-five!

What did she say then?

I don't know if you'll believe me, but…

My mother is with me.

Even after her death.

Bony?

-Bony! -Huh?

I didn't share this with you to get rid of you.

But if you can't believe me,

we can stop here.

Bro, she'll use a scientist's intelligence.

She'll try to get rid of you. You'll get worn out.

And in the end, she'll deliver that clichéd line.

I'm not saying this to get rid of you.

Silence!

What a crazy idea, bro?!

Her dead mom cooks,

signs her progress card, and whatnot!

And then she says she's a scientist!

If Elon Musk hears this, he'd rocket out of here!

-And what did you say? -I was shocked at first.

Then I remembered your warning.

You should've heard what I said next in response.

Why do you think I don't believe you?

I believe you, Stephy.

And your mummy.

It's your mother.

Now, it's my mother too!

I'm okay with it.

But, Bony…

Have you thought through this?

Of course, I have.

This isn't something to be taken lightly.

Whatever it is,

I really like you, Stephy.

And now, your mother.

I was unhappy that I don't have a mother-in-law.

I'm not, anymore.

Whenever I bring this up, people usually react with fear.

Fear? And me?

You'll soon learn who I am.

So, things are looking good.

-Did they call our number? -Number?

-Yeah. -And?

-I met the doctor. -What did they say?

-They asked where my husband was. -And what did you say?

-I told them he's dead! -Oh, shit.

We need to talk after you're done laughing.

This is what happens when you laugh too much.

-Go console her. -Let me face the music.

-Pappa? -Yeah?

I met Bony today.

And?

I told him about Mummy.

-You told him everything? -Yeah.

It looks like he believes me.

That's a surprise.

No one would usually believe all that.

No, Dad. He seems genuine to me.

What do you think?

I'm only getting to know him.

I haven't made up my mind.

-Dad? -Tell me.

Mummy doesn't like him, though.

Is that so?

Then, I'll fix this wedding for sure.

When you and I have no problem with him,

why must she be bothered?

There's a limit to my patience!

Why's this house surrounded by verandahs?

Here a verandah, there a verandah.

-You can go in there and come out here. -For what?

Looks like an old house but renovated.

The main entrance is this way.

Please come.

My plan was to retire and return to Kerala.

That's how I bought this house and started living here.

So, you sold off everything in Shimla and came here?

Well, there's no point in keeping an empty house there.

How big is this house?

2,278 square feet.

Including the open space…

-Yeah? -2999.99 square feet.

Whoa! Just avoided the super tax!

He's damn smart!

Did you like the house?

From now on, it's your house too.

I like it.

Things have come this far from that coffee shop.

When I met you first,

I didn't expect things would come this far.

I had no plans to marry till I met you.

And then?

Then…

Even my family can't believe that I'm in love with you.

I have to thank you, Bony.

You agreed to move forward even after hearing about Mummy.

Where's she, by the way?

Let's go over to them.

-Alright, then! -Okay.

Okay, dear. Shall we leave then?

See you soon.

Okay.

Okay.

Screw him and his squares and numbers.

-I'm sure his wife left him. -Oh, shush!

Hey! What's that noise?

What happened? Huh!

-What's it? -Move aside.

-How did that break? -I…

The plates slipped from my hands.

When she picked it up, the cup and saucer slipped…

-That's what happened… -Oh, okay!

Be careful, my dear.

-Yes, yes. -You can go back the same way.

-Are you okay? -Yes, yes.

We aren't people who forget our roots!

Hey.

She's just not showing it, but she's really tensed.

Maybe Mummy broke it!

And our Bony boy's getting married!

Oh! The baby kicked!

Let's proceed with the ceremony.

Let the witnesses for the bride and groom step forward.

Jose. Step forward.

Elias "Bony", son of Philip and Soyamma,

do you fully and freely agree to take

Mariam "Stephy" as your wife?

I do.

Mariam, daughter of Samuel and the late Grace Samuel,

do you fully and freely agree to take

Elias "Bony" as your husband?

I do.

-It's the breeze. -The breeze…

-Are you both witnesses? -Yes.

Hold your right hands together as a symbol of your union.

She's a motherless child.

She's your mummy from now.

What happened to them?

Hey! It's alright! They're nervous seeing so many people.

Bolaram!

Don't worry. It's okay.

Bolaram! Where's the stick?

-Are you tensed? -No.

Obey me! You dog!

I'll go check and come.

This happens occasionally.

What a nuisance!

Tell them to stop! They are your dogs!

Donna!

Meghna!

Down!

Down.

Stop it!

Mummy. Please!

Phew! They've stopped!

Though he doesn't obey, his dogs do.

You can't howl, but you may bark.

The dog's worn out.

Boo!

-Did I scare you, Stephy? -No.

-No? Damn! -No.

Like any Malayali man, I've dreamt of a wedding night like this.

Like the arrangements, Stephy?

I was thinking…

We should've had a love marriage.

That would've been more exciting.

Arranged marriages come with their own challenges.

Honestly, meeting someone new

in an unfamiliar place and deciding you like them…

In a strange house…

Uff! On a night when anything could happen…

Anyone would be scared!

You've got nothing to worry, okay?

-Bony? -Yeah?

I'm not worried.

My mummy is with me, anyway!

Aah!

Is this still not over?

-Bony… I… -Tell me.

It took a lot for her to agree to this.

-Is that so? -You chose to stay at my house.

-Similarly, until I finish my studies… -Finish your studies…

-We shouldn't… -Shouldn't what?

We shouldn't have a physical relationship.

I promised my mummy.

That day…

You mean… nothing at all?

Why do you act like you're hearing this for the first time?

There we go again!

Listen, you scientist!

Just because you have a high IQ, don't look down on others.

Forget that, come here.

Bony, no!

Yes! Come here, baby.

-Bony, no! -Yes!

-No, please! -Yes, please!

-Bony, stop it! -No, I won't!

-Let go. -Please.

-Bony, enough! Stop! -I want it! Mmmu…

aaah!

Is she from the Marlon family?

Huh? You? What happened to you?

It's your wedding night. Why do you look like this?

Down…

Hey!

I need to get a safety net.

What have you done, Mummy?

Bony is my husband now.

There was no reason for you to react that way.

It's only been a day, Mummy.

He promised to move in with us.

How can you scare him like this?

How many times has this been?

Give me some time to make him understand.

Mummy! You must promise me!

That you'll never hurt Bony.

Oh, no!

But how did the glass break?

I thought it was "gorilla" proof.

What's going on?

I want a divorce.

Divorce? What's the matter?

She wasn't kidding, brother.

Her mummy is really with her.

As a ghost.

Very powerful!

See this? Huh?

Her mummy threw me out.

I'm lucky to be alive.

I want a divorce!

I need it!

Divorce on the second day of marriage?

You'll be behind bars, Bony.

-You believe in such nonsense-- -I'd have believed it sooner.

If it wasn't for your IQ theory.

Explain everything in detail.

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

Is the ghost child here?

-Lock it. -What is it?

I came up wearing my jubba and dhoti.

And she was standing here.

I slowly approached, held her hand, and tried to kiss her.

Some invisible force threw me out!

-I landed in the yard. -Really?

When I got back here,

this cup, the saucer, the trophy, the pot, the photo frame,

the TV remote, and even my mobile phone were floating in the air.

-For real?! -And pirouetting, man!

And then she said, "Bony is my husband, don't do anything."

And then it knocked me out with a cup.

It's only been half an hour since I've regained consciousness.

Bony, she's playing tricks on you.

-You! -I'll talk to her.

Where's Stephy?

See if she's floating.

Right. Her mummy is carrying her.

-Get lost, Bony! -Huh?

Why do those leaves sway for no reason?

It's the wind. The breeze! What's with you, Bony?

Bony, escape!

You must settle this matter.

Based on the agreement, you have to stay with them.

-Let's do that first. -You…

If things are like this here,

do you think I'll be safe there?

There's something else behind this.

-Like what? -We'll figure that out.

Go with them for now.

It's… it's all in your head, Bony.

Just your imagination.

Okay? Nice!

-Got any more ghost kids up your sleeve? -Bony?

-She's calling you. -Yeah?

I'm coming.

I'm leaving, then.

-You three have fun! -You…

Pappa had called.

To know when we'll get there.

-I told him we won't be late. -Okay.

Shall we pack?

S… sure.

I know you've never stayed away from home.

It's close by. We can visit often.

Thank you.

You enjoy cartoons?

A little.

Bony… I…

There are things I can't discuss at home.

I never thought Mummy would react like this.

Me neither.

-Bony? -Yeah?

It's not what you think.

Mummy is a good soul.

But in certain matters…

She's stubborn.

That's all for my well-being.

[mutters] Must I die for that?

You know what?

Pappa enrolled me in the Sinadan School against Mummy's wishes.

And all hell broke loose at the school.

Did she bomb the school?

Eh?

Nothing like that.

But…

things calmed down only after I transferred to her chosen school.

Mummy has her own preferences regarding my matters.

There's only one thing that I've defied my mummy on.

-It's you, Bony. -Thank you.

I liked you, Bony.

Mummy will like you too.

I'm sure.

You'll make it happen, Bony.

True.

Something will happen to me.

Welcome home, my dear son-in-law.

What is it?

Just testing it.

Bony, that won't happen again.

Trust me.

-Also… -What?

Go and meet Pappa. He wants to have a word with you.

So Pappa gets to talk here?

Just go, Bony.

Okay.

Forgot my hand.

I didn't say anything since Stephy explained everything

before the wedding.

Do you doubt…

that her mummy is here with us?

-Not at all! -Good.

You also would've dreamt

of a typical wedding night, like any Malayali man.

Yeah.

-I've heard this before… -She shouldn't have

interfered like that.

[in Hindi] It was unfortunate.

There was no time for that.

-What did you say? -I said, it was unfortunate.

Okay.

Anyway, I'll have a chat with her

-on your behalf. -Much appreciated.

But the problem is…

we are not on good terms.

Who is 'we'?

Me and her.

Won't she hear this?

She can't enter without my permission.

-Oh! She's afraid of you? -Yeah.

You'll find out soon.

You're brave, Pappa.

Now that things have come to this,

I have a few things to tell you.

Go on.

Of all the prospects we met,

do you know why I chose you for Stephy?

Um… smartness?

That's just average.

Education?

Let's not go down that lane.

Don't blow your brains out.

I'll tell you.

I had an intuition

that you'd be the best one to get along with Stephy's mummy.

And you've proven me right with last night's incident.

I don't want to be right, Pappa.

Hey!

Don't say that.

I'm about to tell you something confidential.

This stays between us.

Didn't you say you aren't afraid?

I'm not afraid of her.

But she's not afraid of me either.

See my issue here?

I do.

-She has set up some rules here. -Okay.

Stephy will fill you in on that.

She's a stubborn woman.

Who?

My wife!

You might find Mummy's rules silly.

But you have to follow them.

-Shall I start? -Yeah.

Don't waste food.

Not even a grain should be spilled while eating.

Disaster on the dining table.

-Come on. -Copy.

You should close the fridge within 20 seconds of opening it.

That means, you should decide what to get before opening it.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Didn't get it? Alright.

You can't use your footwear inside.

Especially your wet bathroom slippers.

It's a definite no. Mummy's rule.

Yeah, rule!

Do not scatter your used clothes.

You must not leave your wet towel on the bed.

Should I wear it in the open to air dry it?

This is Mummy's room.

I'll show it to you one day.

Not interested.

On the day she accepts you.

Every single thing in this house

has been designed according to Mummy's tastes.

She can't stand it when something is out of place.

In short…

This home is my mummy to me.

-Bony? -Yeah?

Don't you want to meet her?

-Me? -Yeah.

I'll meet her.

Say hello to her.

Hello, Mummy?

Yeah, go on.

Hello, Mummy?

Hello, Mummy!

I told you, she has no problem.

-Right? -Seems she already likes you.

Is that all?

Almost wet my pants.

Phew!

Hello, Mummy!

Don't worry, Bony. Especially about privacy.

You'll definitely get it.

In the bathroom.

That works, right?

Bony, please follow the rules!

-No progress. -Don't kill me!

Looks like my intuition and calculation were all wrong.

I won't do it, Mummy. I won't repeat it.

-I was thinking… -What?

About Stephy and I moving to a rental home.

That way, we'll all have some privacy.

What do you think, Pappa?

A great decision.

She has kept all my childhood photos.

The costumes, photography and everything was Mummy's idea.

But…

She doesn't like others seeing her photo.

Don't test my patience!

Just think about it.

You hit me with a rolling pin

for spilling some egg puff flakes.

Even little kids in Kerala know you can't eat puffs without spilling.

Do you have to go to that extreme?

-May I come in, Pappa? -Come, dear.

What is it, Pappa? What's the problem?

There are hundreds if you ask me.

-Tell me four. -She won't let me have any peace.

Won't let me sit, stand. Can't you see?

-May I say something, Pappa? -Tell me.

Mummy is right.

Have you switched sides?

♪ Not anymore I can't anymore, Mummy! ♪

♪ Not anymore I can't anymore, Mummy! ♪

What I'm trying to say is…

Everyone in this family should listen to Mummy.

Whether it's me, you or Stephy.

♪ Can't help but tip the scales Oh, Mom ♪

♪ Can't help but wag the tail, Oh, Mum ♪

♪ You break and mould me Oh, Mum ♪

I can see it in every decision she makes for Stephy.

It is marvelous.

That's why I think we're lucky to have her.

That's very true.

And…

Mummy should also understand

that we're humans.

And we're newlyweds.

Newly wedded.

She should also make some compromises.

Why are you on the floor?

I couldn't sleep in there.

Bony, if you can control…

I can't, that's the issue.

I hate staying in this room.

Came to tell you that. Don't call me in here.

That's why I'm saying you don't understand anything, son-in-law.

What do you mean?

Your mother-in-law will be wherever your wife is.

-You mean… -Exactly!

She'll never leave Stephy's side.

She's still here because of her daughter.

So, when are you going to move?

Why destroy a rental home

when we have our own?

-Best of luck! -Thank you.

[Sings "Zindagi Ek Safar" song]

How did he become a scientist?

"You're in danger, come with me."

Did he bite?

-You! -He did!

Stop there!

Who are you?

Who told you that my life's in danger?

Am I right or not?

What if you are?

I can explain. Please come.

Discard your fear and focus.

-Let me introduce myself first. -Okay.

I'm Boss.

An investigative podcaster.

The famous podcast named "The Boss Diaries" is mine.

-You must've heard of it. -I haven't.

No?

These are eight months' worth

of research materials for my new project.

A bank robbery happened in Shimla on January 24, 2020.

A 55 year old man and a young woman are behind it.

-Oh! -Both of them are Malayalis.

-Is that so? -They haven't been captured.

Sorry to say…

Samuel

and his daughter Stephy are the culprits.

What the heck are you saying?

Can't believe it, huh?

The arrival of Samuel and his daughter to Kerala.

Their bank transactions.

I can link all these to the robbery in Shimla.

Oh my God!

Stephy had many alliances before you.

-Oh? -Why didn't any of them work?

-Why? -That girl…

I've seen her talking to herself many times.

And strange noises are heard at their house.

And the screams that I hear these days…

They're not done with their looting.

It will continue…

So I strongly believe, Mr. Samuel and his daughter Stephy are criminals.

Such shocking news!

I believe there's a master brain,

an invisible force that pulls the strings.

I believe that too.

That's what I'm getting to.

I might need your help to expose them.

Sure! I'll help with anything!

Yeah, you have that spirit.

Yeah, I know the spirit.

I'm trusting that you'll help Bony when he's in trouble.

You'll do anything for Bony.

-Because Bichu is Bony's… -[in Tamil] Uyir nanpan!

That's the spirit!

Um… it's nothing major.

Stephy will come out from there in five minutes.

She'll be carrying a bag.

She won't give it willingly, so snatch it from her.

-Got it. Thomson! -Listen…

-You-- -Why should we snatch it?

-Trust me. You'll help Bony with this. -Really?

She's coming. Go! Go!

-What? -Ice cream Thampi.

-So what? -We'll be done for if he sees us.

Forget all that.

-Go on. -She recognizes me.

Wear it. I use it to clean the glass.

Make sure she isn't hurt when you attack, Bichu.

[in Tami] It's all for Bony.

Soul for friend, and body for soil.

-Okay. -Got it!

Nice bag!

-Thief! You swine! -Stop spinning me around!

-You'll make me dizzy. -Thief! Thief!

Don't use force. Stop it!

Who're you calling a thief? Oh, the bag's here.

-You… -The game changes!

Hey Bony, you were saying your wife's Mom is with her?

I've sent Bichu over.

Once Bichu gets here, things will be more clear.

Bichu will be here in a minute. There, he comes!

Get the vehicle started.

Mission success!

Bichu?

I can see you, but can't reach you.

Give me a minute.

Bichu?

I think they have treadmills here instead of tiles.

Bichu, come on. Hop in.

I've been released! I'm coming.

I'm going.

Oh, no!

I want to come there.

-But they're dragging me. -Bichu is locked.

-Someone is pulling me from behind. -Mummy is real!

-I'm making myself a U-turn. -Bichu, come on.

-Come. -She's everywhere.

-I'm fed up! -Aren't you ashamed, you swine?

Just check if everything's inside. Didn't get much time.

Someone is doing something… Oh, no!

I'm done for! Where am I going?

Phew! It stopped.

Oh, no…

I can't stop!

-Ice cream Thampi, bro. -What is it?

I'm running just like that.

It's not me.

That's not my hand.

I've got nothing to…

Who hit you?

Don't wake him up. Must be really tired.

Guru!

-He's lying still? -Who are these people?

You!

Something just left me?

Good morning. Didn't wake you up as you were fast asleep.

Pappa and I will go to church and be back soon.

I've asked those devils not to leave me alone here.

Yes?

I patrol this area when those notorious criminals go out on Sundays.

But I haven't found any evidence till now. Can you help me?

-Damn! -Trust me, I'm willing

to take any risk to prove this case.

Alright.

Keep your footwear. It's okay.

-Isn't that bad manners? -Not at all, come on.

Oh, sweet.

Kind.

Affluent.

Why are you shaking? Didn't you drink?

I could get anything as evidence

from this mysterious house.

We shouldn't miss it.

Be it a tiny globe.

Or…

An unknown killer.

I'll prove my research is right,

right here.

Didn't you say something about Pappa that day?

Of course I did. He's a criminal.

And what about my wife? The daughter of this house?

If my memory is right…

She's a "born" criminal born to criminal parents.

And I'm sticking to that.

-You should. -I will.

-Look. -What?

Turn around.

Wow!

Hi, this is nice!

Don't know why, but I like these a lot.

Dude, this is the issue here!

What's wrong with this?

It's the spirit of the deceased mother. The ghost!

Oh, my condolences.

Mummy, make do with him today, please.

This is not crime! It's horror! Horror!

I misjudged the genre…

Do you regret marrying me, Bony?

Nothing like that, Stephy.

I'd be happy if we could talk more freely.

A little more.

When I was studying in Shimla,

I had a North Indian boyfriend.

Tall with dimples.

He was a football player.

-Get to the point, Stephy. -Yeah.

We…

-used to talk through text messages. -Hmm.

So, no one could read those text messages.

So?

No one could read…

those text messages.

-I did it, Pappa! -Don't joke…

Bony…

You're okay, right?

Now, don't complain that I didn't tell everyone here.

My wife Stephy,

is pregnant.

My escape that day, followed by my fever,

led me to…

an isolated house, in Shimla's Lakkar Bazar.

Mummy lived there

with Samuel and Stephy for a long time.

Never seen anyone go on a tour just from being scared.

X'cuse me!

-Yes? -I do my research before taking action.

-During my research… -Put that away.

my old professor and the great witch wizard,

my mentor Kanjamma's Aathma Mithra caught my attention.

This will be useful to you.

Especially…

when you deal with spirits.

You should know their characteristics.

Spirits share many similarities with the human mind.

For example,

they can also feel emotions like humans.

They feel love,

sadness,

anger…

-Anger… -Let go, let go. My hand!

All of it tenfold!

Therefore, any encounter with them

can be very dangerous

and could end in death at any time.

That means Bony,

you're in a

very

dangerous zone.

Sometimes, the spirit can also be hurt and confused, like humans.

During that time, they will become weak,

and can be brought under our control…

Confuse them…

How?

Let's tell Stephy's dad

how we aren't sure of her paternity?

Then wouldn't that confuse her dad?

Right. Now I'm confused.

Idiot.

Damn it!

-I've got an idea. -Yeah.

Will this work? I can't afford to get hit again.

Listen…

There is only one situation where any mother in the world,

including mine, would be emotionally confused.

Daughter's pregnancy.

It will work.

[mutters] Don't laugh.

Show some emotion.

Great!

You're a fan of Mani Ratnam, huh?

-I mean, your ideas are… -Oh!

So, you'll get pregnant temporarily.

-Mummy gets confused. -Yeah.

Later, it becomes permanent.

No?

Let's see.

Oh, my mummy!

Really?

Can I start with a kiss?

Who is it now?

Dad? Mom?

Why are you here?

Did you think we wouldn't find out?

-But, you could've told us. -Hey, stop it!

Give him some time.

We got to know from Thomson.

But I'm sure he would've told us.

Where is she?

-Dear? -My dear?

Thomson…

-Did you tell my parents? -Yes, I did.

In times like this, it's good to have your elders around.

Now that they're there, Mummy will definitely believe it.

Be proud that your brother-in-law has great foresight!

You mo… moron!

I'll treat you "proudly" once you get here.

Your mummy is here.

I'm really happy.

You're glowing!

At least you should've called us.

We got here as soon as we heard.

Don't stand, sit here.

Careful.

Let's take her home.

Tincy and I will be there.

I'll talk to Mr. Samuel if you want.

You could've called.

We have the right to come here unannounced.

What do you think family means?

You left everything behind. Don't get me started now.

Don't be mad, Pappa.

We were going to visit. Right, Stephy?

Uh… yes.

Forget it! I won't make a fuss on this good day.

-I need to change, where's the room? -So, you're not leaving?

You have trouble coming over there.

But we'll be here for a couple of days. Any issues?

I might have… no, I don't.

-What about you, dear? -Not at all.

-See, she's our girl. -Think it through…

-Where's your dad? -Yeah.

-I'll call him. -Okay.

I will call him. I will.

-Sit down, dear. He'll come. -Careful.

What’s up with him? Has fatherhood made him restless?

Why do you need such a huge house for two people?

And scraps heaped over there.

Look, am I wrong? Was he a scrap dealer?

See, there's a Kangaroo.

It's heavy. Oh, it's a rabbit.

Come along, I'll show you.

He should get treated somewhere.

Lunatic!

-What is it? -Nothing.

Listen, there's something wrong with Mr. Samuel.

He's hung a dinner set on the wall.

Does he eat food standing?

…bring him on to the right track.

I'll make sure my son's life is safe and secure.

What's this? Maruthvamala? Are you Hanuman?

Why are you carrying all that?

Let me talk to Mr. Samuel first.

-You can change it later. -Okay.

I'm really hungry.

I need something to eat.

But before that I need to drink.

For that I need to take a bath.

-Do that! Have a long bath! -Yeah, you set everything up.

If I don't lock him up,

today will be his last!

-Stephy? Come here. -Yeah?

What?

Sit.

-What? -Dad has cholesterol, diabetes, BP,

and all sorts of ailments, even toothache.

-So what? -So ask Mummy to spare him.

Bony, I can only try.

If the rules are broken, punishment is certain.

-Heartless mon… -Eh?

Mummy.

Oh, no!

-You can't do this. -What?

-It's not allowed here. -Drinking?

Why not? Is this a rehabilitation center?

Get lost! I've had drinks even on public transport.

Mummy-- Pappa doesn't like this.

-What is Muppa? -Not Muppa, Pappa!

Screw him!

I didn't come uninvited. I'm here as your father.

-I'll do whatever I want. -Keep quiet!

Shh! You want to drink?

-Yeah. -There's a way.

How did I end up with that 'anomaly' as my family?

Despite having a huge mansion, I've to resort to drinking here.

Pass me the chicken.

Here, organic spinach.

What am I? A deer that eats leaves?

Even my dog won't dine without meat.

-Why should I eat this-- -Please don't shout, Pappa.

Are you sure it's organic? Whatever.

Still, you left us all there.

You didn't even think of telling me the good news.

It's not like that, Pappa. You wouldn't get it.

Yeah, right. I wouldn't.

Bony, tell me. Do you have a problem?

None, Pappa.

I'm sure there is. I know it.

-I'm happy, Pappa. -I know you. You're not happy.

-Yes, Pappa. -Okay.

Listen, you're imprisoned.

By that moronic Math teacher.

I knew he was up to no good as soon as I saw him.

And I made a grave mistake marrying you to his daughter.

His damn square feet!

Zero-zero-one! I'll measure the mansion today itself!

And confirm it's 3000 square feet.

I'll complain to the municipality and make him pay the super tax.

You'll see!

Pappa, please keep quiet. The other Pappa will hear.

The other Pappa!

He and his rules!

-I want to have a word with him. -What?

Hey, Samuel! You!

Pappa, don't go. Please, please! Sit!

Okay, I won't go. I won't.

-Calm down. -No, I must talk to him.

Don't go.

Samuel!

Samuel?

Where is he? Samuel?

-What is it, Philip? -Oh, you're here!

Why are you dressed like a scarecrow?

Don't speak nonsense just because you're Bony's dad.

This is my house. I make the rules here.

Your house!

A house with no aesthetics.

Can't smoke! Can't drink! Do you know about my Anathari house?

-What's the problem? -What happened?

-It'll be solved once he goes to bed. -You'll put me to bed!

Ah, you! Listen, I know everything that's happening here.

-What do you mean? -Hey, don't make a scene.

Shut up!

Didn't he make you sign an application form before the wedding?

Was that an exam form for you to fill out?

He asked for it and you just gave in?

Do you know how I've raised my son, Mr. Samuel?

And you've made him useless.

-[in Hindi] Silence! -Jagadish!

-[in Hindi] Pappa, please go. -I want to see how far he'll go.

Who are you to speak in Hindi to scare me?!

[in Hindi] What? Huh?

Who are you, Khatrughan Kinha?!

Look! He's kept an urn on the pathway. I'll teach him!

Broke it!

Broke it with just one kick!

When I get mad, it turns into a rampage!

What was that? Who hit him?

Was that a tranquilizer?

You slimy Math teacher. You attacked me from behind?

You know what? I'm a scumbag when hurt.

That's true even when you're unhurt.

What! How dare…

I'll see if I can hit him.

I can't even find a thing in this place.

-It's not your home. -My daughter-in-law's home's mine too.

The dishes here are mine too! Found it, a flower pot!

-I'll throw this! -Oh, no!

He dodged it!

Who is he? A martial artist?

Hey, you!

Kizhakkunarum…

That's not my fault.

What have you done? My boy.

You dodged it and hurt my son.

-Don't drink if you can't handle it. -Here comes the teacher to handle me.

I've always hated Math teachers!

-Take your hands off me! -Eh!

-Why did I obey him? I'll do it again. -Oh, I'll show you.

-Bony, take him away! -Leave him!

I'll teach you a lesson today…

Let go!

-Why did you let go? -Bony!

Are you okay?

-Finally… -Tell me!

Go deal with your pappa.

He hurt our kid and…

[in Hindi] What's happening here?

I won't tolerate this.

Forgive them once. I'm telling you.

The miser won't even fill water in this.

Hey! Get me some water.

-It's in the fridge. -Damn. The buzz has worn off.

[in Hindi] Listen to me!

She's your daughter after all.

What do you want? Tell me, what do you want!

Hey, hey!

If you have something to say, say it to my face.

Don't look around and speak in a different language.

You don't know what you're talking about.

You are headed for big trouble.

-How dare you threaten me? -Pappa!

Eh?!

Wow! It's floating in the air.

Even a glass in this house can't reach its mark.

Pappa, let go, Pappa!

-Don't Pappa. -Let me go! Let go!

-Stephy, are you hurt? -No, she isn't.

-It's alright. But… -But?

You can wipe it off.

Blood!

-What is it? -Nothing, just grab onto something.

Nothing?

But something's happening?

-Oh, my! -Mummy!

Mummy, please!

Forgot something!

Dear, we're leaving.

Also her father is innocent. A good person.

Such a gentle soul.

And I'm at peace now.

You not only have a good father, but a great father-in-law too.

Such a serene, peaceful home.

Get some white doves too.

See you, then. Samuel sir, we're leaving.

Let's go, dear. Let's go back home.

-Pappa, they're leaving. -Our home is the safest.

Mummy?

-May I come in? -Yeah.

What?

-It's been so long. -For what?

-Bony? -Yeah?

-Can I ask you something? -Yes.

Are you…

angry at Mummy?

Not really.

In our room…

just us…

with Pappa's background music, it's amazing!

Aren't you a bit overexcited, Bony?

That may be because I'm a virgin.

Ew!

-May I say something? -Yeah.

You could go for a more modern look.

Modern look with makeup.

-Are you getting a call? -With a bodycon dress.

Phone!

-Bichu. -Modern look?

-Yeah, bodycon dress. -Oh…

But you wanted a saree… flowers in my hair…

After the first hit, my views changed.

Your views changed, huh?

[phone rings]

Who's calling?

It's nothing urgent.

It's Bichu.

Answer it, what if it's important?

-This is more important. -Get lost!

-Tell me. -Bony!

I can't believe I called you my "uyir nanpan" (best friend).

I tried to check your wife's strength

for you and tried to steal her bag.

And I ended up in the hospital. Did you even bother checking in on me?

What? Cat got your tongue?

And she's possessed.

-He's drunk… -Do you know how things are?

I'm the leader of a leaderless gang.

I'll pay you a visit.

Let me clear up my schedule.

-Bichu? -Yeah?

-Thank you, I'll ask Bony to call back. -No need, ma'am.

What is this, Bony?

Explain, Bony!

He's drunk and spouting nonsense.

Why are you lying? Have you no shame?

I asked you not to discuss Mummy with anyone.

-And what have you done? -It must be Thomson.

Is there anyone left to find out?

Listen to me.

-It's a good day and-- -Don't touch me!

You only think about yourself!

I'm at fault for trusting you.

What happened to you? I'm the one who's suffering.

Bony, I told you everything about Mummy and brought you here.

You only said you have a mummy. Did you tell me she's like this?

-I have a lot to say! -What's there to say?

Now everyone knows about it because of you.

Do this, bring ten people here

and do whatever experiments you want and clear all your doubts.

What else should I have done?

Who's going to believe this?

Now I suspect you are a ghost too!

Listen! Keep your smart remarks to yourself.

If you act all high and mighty, I'll tell Mummy everything.

Aren't you ashamed to complain to Mummy like a child?

"Mummy, they pinched me!" "Mummy, they scratched me!"

Call her! Call your mummy!

Let her come! Come on, call her!

Aren't you calling?

I also want to talk.

Are you sure?

Yes, I am. Let her come.

The worst she could do is to throw something at me.

I am waiting!

I'm ready to face anything in this matter.

MUMMY!

Mummy, the pregnancy and that fake certificate were all his ideas!

I can explain, Mummy.

Oh, God!

Go ask her!

It wasn't me! It was her idea!

I'm innocent!

Is the old hag taking a break?

[in Hindi] No, don't do this. It was her idea.

Not mine, hers!

Is there no one to save me? Maths professor?

Oh, no!

Please stop! Peace!

Don't you know I'm not that smart?

How would I come up with these plans?

Look here.

Is this the modern look you were talking about?

-Is this my mom's modern look? -What?

Mummy!

She got hit! I'm so happy!

Son, does your neck hurt?

-Very much! -Okay.

You've suffered only for three months.

-I've been suffering for 22 years! -I know!

-Veteran player. -Yes. Exactly!

-Is divorce an option? -No.

Can you leave everything behind?

-No! -Why?

-Because of my daughter. Okay? -Yes. I know how much you love her.

You'll need to make small compromises in life.

Living with her has weakened my musical skills even.

-You know that? -That was unnecessary.

Hey! Give us the bill. We won't be around alcohol anymore.

-Pack a bottle too. -Three's my limit.

There he goes again. Measurements.

-Pappa! -What's it, son?

-We're home. -So fast?

You want a piggyback ride?

-Is that necessary? -No problem! Hop on!

Actually, we're in the same boat. Very similar.

-Yeah. -Aren't we both equally unhappy?

Aren't we?

-Yes. You're right. -That's my situation.

-Bony, son… I have… -Don't cry Pappa. I'll sleep…

only one thing to tell you.

[in Hindi] ♪ Nowadays in my own eyes ♪

Nights feel like days to me, and days feel like nights.

-♪ Even the days are like dark nights ♪ -No, Pappa, no!

Please Pappa! Don't sing!

-Did that upset you, son? No? -Not at all.

-I was just talking about our situation. -I know, Pappa.

♪ Only my tea is there with me ♪

-You want tea and snacks? -♪ Tea… ♪

♪…is there with me. ♪

22 years!

Bony won't be another Samuel!

Hey! Mummy!

Ouch!

Ouch!

Woman! You hurt me as soon as I stepped in?

You'll get to know.

Whoa!

Haven't your tricks with the mat ended?

Hey! Mummy!

I challenge you!

I dare you to come out!

This is your end!

Mummy the end!

Steppy!

Steppy! Stephy…

I'll not wake her. What can she do even if she does?

Ouch!

Ow!

I need an answer today!

Will you bash me up if I wear wet slippers?

Huh?!

What kind of a mother are you?

Even a ghost should have some manners.

You and your rules! I'll teach you a lesson!

Your reign in this house ends now!

I am the king here from now on.

Try and stop me!

22 years of that poor man's life…

Isn't she here?

She must be hiding in the kitchen.

What will you do if I leave the fridge open?

Not for 20 seconds but for 20 days!

What will you do to me?

I'm not going to make your daughter a scientist.

I'll take her to my house and have her bathe my dog.

I'll have her take the dog out to pee.

I'll get her to clean it's shit.

I'll get her to carry out its delivery.

What will you do?

Huh? What will you do to me? Tell me!

You want the house to be tidy?

Eeeee!

I'll wear shoes on my hands and feet! Where are you?

You must be tired after the violence this morning.

Alright then. I'm going to bed.

Good night!

Bony?

I won't ever leave Stephy.

Oh no!

-Call her. -Professor?

-Professor? -Is she dead?

Sh! She's sleeping.

Professor!

Professor!

Run, Bony!

Oh god!

Bony? Bony!

Bony…

It's me! Boss!

Bony. Bony? Thomson.

We are here for an urgent matter.

Only you can help us, Professor.

Did you swine come empty-handed to meet the Professor?

Of course not!

Will we come to meet you…

without offerings?

Enjoy my girl!

Hm.

This is Bony. He recently got married, the idiot.

His mother-in-law is a menace. Physically abusive! I was attacked too.

They've no clue what to do.

Please help somehow, Professor.

Screw you!

Am I to solve your domestic disputes?

That's not it, grandma.

Bossy got it wrong.

My mother-in-law died 22 years ago.

Died when she was five.

She's with my wife, even now.

She hasn't given me a break since our wedding.

-Don't you know I've stopped all this? -Please don't say that.

You are the only one on earth who can help us in this matter.

-Get out. I've nothing more to say. -Okay.

-Get out! -Plea…

Let's go.

I'm going to consider this as

a mentor kicking a mentee out.

The devil’s just lounging around, smoking.

-Hey, boy. -Yes.

I see a death trap before you.

Watch out so that you don't fall.

You are young.

Bony, given our current situation, don't dismiss anything.

-Especially what Kanjamma said. -Kanjamma, pfft!

She's stoned out of her mind.

I don't have the courage to not believe her.

Don't take it easy, Bony. Don't you remember what she said?

A death-trap it seems!

I had some faith when we went there.

MUMMY!

Hello? Bro, what is it?

Bony? Hello?

What are you doing?

How can you do this?!

Wouldn't you have killed him if I hadn't caught you?

Move, Bony.

Kill me first.

Aren't I, who has always obeyed you, at fault?

Leave this innocent alone! Let him go live elsewhere!

Wasn't this what you always wanted? Let it be so!

Bony, do you know how long this has been going on?

Don't do this! Don't do that!

To be honest, I was just tolerating you!

All mothers consider their kids' desires.

I got a mother who is only possessive and selfish!

Mummy, I've asked you for only one thing.

How long will he wait, hoping things will get better?

Your intuition was wrong, Pappa.

Sorry.

Why do I need a mother like you?

In fact, it would have been better if you had never come back.

[in Hindi] My scheme

has succeeded.

The time…

has come.

Be ready to be just another Bahoda

if you can't offer me that spirit and increase the Bahodas' strength.

Remember, this is your last chance.

-Um… -Yes, Dad?

Here, have this black coffee.

I don't know what's troubling you.

But something is wrong.

I have the intelligence to understand that.

I won't ask you to confide in me.

We don't do that, anyway.

Even though you were a bit of trouble,

I liked the old you better.

Even if unintentionally, I started all this.

I never imagined it would turn out like this.

At first, when he spoke about it, it was hilarious.

Not anymore.

Uncle, they must either decide to separate,

or else…

That's not what I want.

I wanted to meet you for something else.

A few people from Shimla came to meet me.

I don't know who they are.

But they knew about both of you.

Someone named Ashabha said they'll take care of Mummy.

Grace.

I know you came back from a world that none of us have seen

out of your love for Stephy and me.

I know you love our child

ten times more than I do.

But… this state of yours…

That's the issue!

Our daughter isn't a child anymore. Isn't she an adult?

Isn't she married?

Doesn't she deserve a normal life?

If something happens to me…

Grace…

I don't like saying this.

But you must leave.

You have to leave!

You have to…

Samuel,

[in Hindi] I told you

that she will bring disaster into your life.

You didn't listen. But I'm happy.

Now that you've agreed.

Mummy's our responsibility.

Okay?

Okay, Stephy?

Thank you!

Before we start…

you have to keep two things in mind.

First one. You have to

give us all her

belongings.

Okay?

Told you. Mischievous. Like kids.

What do you say in Malayalam?

Mischievous!

The second one. Your behaviour

with Mummy should stay the same.

Or it'll be dangerous.

Hmm? Right?

Tell us the date

and time.

Bony! Don't be scared.

I'm here.

-The candle used to light up in the past. -Great.

But now…

-Mm. -It's lit now.

A group is here from the north, Professor.

They say they can help in Mummy's case.

And what did they say?

Did they say they'll take away such a powerful spirit?

There are many like them.

And fools like you to believe them.

They don't look like ordinary people.

They dress strange…

With deer antlers tattooed on their necks…

Is it this? Is this the symbol you saw?

Yeah. This one.

Bahodas!

They wander the whole world in search of spirits!

If they arrive in search of a spirit…

it must be very powerful.

The Bahodas are no ordinary group.

They are people who exist in this world

beyond the laws of nature

and the confines of manmade time.

They see

spirits more clearly than humans.

Their primary aim is to find

the powerful among spirits and strengthen their clan.

According to their belief, Makshitha,

who has dwelled beneath the earth

under the Amaradhwan tree for centuries,

serves as their guide.

If they find a powerful spirit,

they'll acquire it at any cost

and offer it to Makshitha.

Ashabha is the name of the head priest

that Makshitha uses to search for spirits.

The title of Ashabha is passed down based on competence.

competence.

If the Bahodas capture a spirit, no matter how good it may be,

they will corrupt it and twist it to serve their dark purposes.

The pain the spirits suffer at that time…

is beyond what we can imagine.

I don't want to inflict pain on Mummy.

Can you do anything about it?

Anything?

There's a time and place for all this.

But in my case, both are messed up.

Could you please do something?

It won't stay in my control.

Sigh. Please leave.

Not just these paintings.

Your dresses from childhood…

your books…

the prizes you won…

She kept everything safe.

She's really going to leave us now.

Everything I heard when I went there

is what’s in this.

Everyone there still remembers the mother and daughter.

There are so many stories of them.

If a mother stays on this earth 22 years after death,

just to care for a daughter,

what a mother she must be.

[chanting]

Thrayamshak!

Stephy.

Stephy! Stephy?

Stop this now!

Stephy!

Mummy…

Pappa?

Bony… Mummy is leaving.

Pappa!

Let me go!

Damn! This…

Hold this carefully.

Come on!

Wait!

Go save her!

Hey! Ashabha!

Damn it!

MUMMY!

Mummy!

[in Hindi] I know your strength.

But now it's my time to shine.

[in Hindi] I don't fight humans.

Only spirits.

Bony.

Listen! This is your last chance for a comeback.

Go do something.

Eh! It lit up!

I'm back!

Hold this. I've got some work to do.

Hey!

There! Over there!

My mummy…

Mummy's gone, Bony…

That's my wife.

I thought you were dead.

But you're back!

Because you got there at the right time,

-everything has been resolved. -Hmph.

It's too soon to say everything has been resolved.

If even a fragment of a

once-summoned spirit remains in the Bahodas' thrayamshak,

they will return to seek it out.
