All language subtitles for Karnika (2024)_track3_[und]

So, where did we stop?

Aryaveda.

Yeah. Aryaveda.

Haven't you seen
a serpent deity shrine

near the family temple
at Killikurissy mansion?

- Yes.
- Seen it?

Long long ago,

I mean, during our
great-grandfather's time.

There used to be
a giant banyan-like tree.

That tree's name
was 'Aryaveda'.

Serpent worship was done without fail
under that tree, everyday.

Also, special worships were done for
the family God, Shaileswaran.

And one day,

the deity that our
great-grandfather worshipped

went missing from
under the tree.

Soon after, in a harsh summer,

Aryaveda too withered
under the scorching sun.

But, the fruits of
the tree remained fresh.

You know what
the great-grandfather did?

picked the fruits,
wrapped them in a cloth,

and kept them at
the family house.

When the great-grandfather
checked them after a few days,

he saw a blue illumination
originating from within that cloth.

When he unwrapped the cloth,

he noticed that the shells of
the fruits had come off,

and shiny jewels had
come out from them.

The jewels that were born
from Aryaveda were called,

'Aryaroodam'.

"Aryaroodam, the supreme jewels"

The astrologer predicted that
the jewels must be kept safe,

and if they are lost,
it will lead to this residence's devastation

and that it will be
completely wrecked.

- Oh-no!
- Don't be scared, dear!

To avoid such mishaps,

your father and grandfather built
a chamber in the residence,

and moved the jewels there.

There's nobody on this earth

who is strong and intelligent enough
to snatch them from there.

'PEYYAVOOR SOUTH'

We are now standing in front of the house
where the assault took place.

The incident happened
a few hours ago.

No need to check, sir.
There are no CCTVs. I already checked.

Will this be a headache?

Perhaps.

Christina?

Madam is at the hospital.

I came here with the writer's father.

- Where's he?
- He's inside.

The person who took the writer
to the hospital yesterday joins us now.

The search by the police is
going on in full swing.

Let's ask him directly.

What really happened here yesterday?

It was at around 12 last night.

I was returning from my duty.

That's when I heard
Swamy sir's screams from his house.

When I rushed in,
I saw Ammu lying on the floor.

Me and Swamy sir took her
to the hospital immediately.

What's her current condition?

What do you think?

Will this be a challenge to sir?

How can it be?

He's handled umpteen such cases.

Let's hope so.

I understand your mental state.

But only after hearing your statement,
only after hearing your statement.

So, I'm asking you.

Have you ever felt that
Ammu had any enemies?

Has she ever told you
anything as such?

No, sir.

I am not aware of my daughter
having any enemies.

She doesn't even talk
much to anybody.

She wasn't like this earlier.

It was in the last few years that
she changed like this.

I tried taking her to
counselling sessions.

But she didn't let me.

We argued a lot about that.

Later I thought,

perhaps if she gets married,

things might improve.

I tried that too.

But

the price I had to pay for it...

it was unbearably colossal.

She had a narrow escape from that.

I didn't ask or say anything
to her ever since.

After that,

I guess it was about two weeks back...

I saw her being lively again.

At around that time,
two friends had come to visit her.

It was due to their persuasion that

she started writing
stories and articles again.

Whatever her dad told
you is right. But

it was her who took the initiative
to write this story.

She used to have a
recurring dream about a

mansion and a girl who
committed suicide there,

she told me this
when she met me the other day.

It was her who told me that
it's a nice thread,

and that she's gonna write a story
based on that.

I also asked her to
give it a shot.

Which mansion is that?

It's near Peyyavoor.

Poovarashi mansion.

'Poovarashi Mansion
7 days before'

Hello. Where are you?

I am at Poovarashi mansion.

To complete my story.

But there's some confusion
towards the end of the story.

It seems like certain
points aren't matching.

You had told me about
writing a story.

But is it necessary that
you have to go there to write it?

Alright then.
I'll call you back later.

Seems like you don't wanna hear
what I'm saying.

Oh-no! Don't hang up!

You're quite brave, aren't you?
No issues then.

And listen.
What else is going on?

Well, when I called you yesterday,
you said you already finished the story.

Why did you go there today then?

Karnika and her celestial lover unite.

That's how you concluded the story.

That's not quite working out.

As per our story, she is a spirit

and he is still a live person.

So, in order for them to unite,

either he should die,
or, she has to kill him.

If I keep thinking that way,
it will get further complicated.

Just listening to you gives me chills.

And listen, Ammu...

Don't stay there for long.

I know that you don't
believe in such things.

But, it's a house where two
unnatural deaths happened.

Try to leave that house soon.

My dear Nadu,

they're maintaining this mansion
exceptionally clean.

It's not a deserted and bushy place
like we see in movies.

So, what were we saying?

Yeah. Let them not unite for now.

Let her wait.

Let her keep waiting,
and prove the value of her love.

Isn't it comforting to wait for people

who we like, Nadiya?

Hey, just a minute.

Dad is calling me.

Hello Dad?

I'm done. Have you reached?

Alright then.

"The long-gone sunny dream"

"Did its thought wake you, O moonlight?"

"As days and nights arrived"

"Did you watch with a heavy heart
at twilight?"

"Parted ways on the path"

"Are the futile lines of destiny"

"The long-gone sunny dream"

"Did its thought wake you, O moonlight?"

"As days and nights arrived"

"Did you watch with a heavy heart
at twilight?"

"Parted ways on the path"

"Are the futile lines of destiny"

"The dye of unsaid agonies"

"Spreads across the heart"

"As I wander like a fleeting breeze"

"Write the story of my dawn"

"Without lamenting over it"

What happened, dear?

Why are you panting?

You didn't answer my call.

Who threw these papers here?

What's this?

Come.

'Karnika and her celestial lover unite.'

'That's how you concluded the story.'

'That's not quite working out.'

'Let them not unite for now.'

'Let her wait.'

'Let her keep waiting,
and prove the value of her love.'

After a couple of days,

Siddharth, a friend of hers

came to visit her.

They talked for quite a long time.

That night after he left, she came to me.

She told me that she had to go on a journey

for the sake of her story,

and that it will take
a few days for her to return.

She left home the next day,

and returned the day before yesterday.

- Was Siddharth with her then?
- Yes, sir.

It was him who dropped her home.

They were talking and laughing
merrily in this hall.

I went to make tea for them, seeing that.

But by the time I came back,

Siddhu had already left.

At that moment,
I saw a kind of worry on her face

that I've never seen before.

Yesterday morning,
she went somewhere again.

Did she go with Siddharth?

I...I didn't notice it.

She left without informing me.

She came back at around 6 in the evening.

Was Siddharth there with her then?

No.

She came back in an auto-rickshaw.

As soon as she returned,

she went to her room upstairs
and kept writing something in a haste.

As I noticed light in her room
even at late night,

I went ahead and checked,

and I saw that she had stopped writing
and was typing something.

- Dear...
- Dad.

Dear...

Why don't you change your clothes
before doing this?

Give me a cup of tea, Dad.

But the tea is already here, dear.

I'll have it.

To be honest, seeing
her agitation,

I got really scared, sir.

Dear...

I feel scared, dear.

Why are you getting scared, Dad?

I won't go anywhere from now on.

Look at me.

I will be always here with you.

I thought that I'd go to bed after she
sleeps, so I came down and watched TV.

Suddenly...

Dear?

What happened? Huh?

Dear...

The cops have left from her house.

You be at the hospital itself.

I'll call you if I need anything.

Okay. Got it.

Alright.

Achayan...

She's not dead it seems.

But her state is as
terrible as dead.

We gotta be careful.

She's the kind who rises
from the ashes.

Yesterday, she gave me 24 hours
deadline as if it were alms!

So, how do we proceed?

Shouldn't we inform our boss?

Should I call him?

No. Let's go there.

Sir.

Hey. What's the update?

The surgery is successful.

And she is out of danger now.

But the doctor says that she won't be
able to speak at least for a few days.

She needs rest.

So we will have to wait further, isn't it?

Where do we begin, sir?

- Have you brought the guy?
- He's in the jeep. Shall I call him?

No. Give me the file first.

Let me brief you my primary analysis.

The assault took place minutes after

Swaminathan served her tea
and went downstairs.

There's no chance that the attacker entered
through the front or back door.

Because Swaminathan was in the hall
at that time.

The only other possibility is
the balcony door upstairs.

If she herself opened the door for somebody
at that hour of the night,

that person has to be
somebody close to her.

And suppose if she
doesn't know him,

as there is no damage
to the door,

he must've entered the house
when the door was open, and waited for her.

Whatever it be,
one thing is for sure.

The primary reason
for this assault is

this story.

Swaminathan said that ever since
she started writing this story,

she started getting tense
like never before.

What's the deal with this story that
it makes her tense?

I don't get it.

I feel that this story and
this assault is linked.

So, answering your question,

let us start from this story.

Let's embark on a journey
through this story and its characters.

Don't laugh, okay?

Don't I always tell you that

all my investigations begin from
this church's altar?

That's my belief.

Not just that.

This story is based on real incidents.

Let us also dive into that real story.

I hope we will definitely
get a breakthrough.

POOVARASHI MANSION
A FEW YEARS AGO

Didn't you hear me?

Listen, Nandu. I don't even have time
to finish the chores here.

And you and your sister are complaining
amidst that?

Haven't I told you
not to misbehave with the mistress?

Why are you scolding us?

It was mistress who started a fight.

Just because a couple of
jasmine flowers fell down!

Just a couple of flowers?

Two means...
Two strings!

I see! Madam is complaining to her mom?

Wait and see. No matter how much
you try to talk to me,

I won't ever talk to you again!

Really?

I don't care if you don't talk to me!

Alright! I forgive you this time!

- Thank you Karnika!
- Hey, you!

Where's your other daughter, Devamma?

She's playing at the front yard.

She was quite sad about
the jasmine flowers falling down.

The school reopens tomorrow, you know?

Their dad will be coming
to take them along.

Okay then. Let me go.
I'm already late for my class.

'This is her story.'

'The story of a naive girl
who lived in Poovarashi mansion.'

'The story of Karnika.'

'Like any other girl,'

'Karnika too quietly loved someone
from her heart.'

'That was another reason she never skipped
classes at Nrithyatha Arts School.'

'To see him.'

'To see the person
she adored as a celestial being'

'and loved more than
anyone or anything in the world.'

Hey. I won't be here for
this year's Karthika Vilakku festival.

- I gotta go to my hometown.
- Oh-no! Really?

Didn't I tell you about
my sister-in-law starting a school?

She says I too have to be there.

Don't be sad.

A few months are still
left for the festival.

Let's see.

Chechi...

Here you go.

'The postman' has sent a letter to her
today also!

His words are quite poetic!

I accidentally caught a glimpse of it.

You too read it once, Ardra chechi.

- Sivaranjini...
- Yeah.

See you then.

Give it to me.
Let me have a look!

Hold this.

What's all this, huh?

This is gonna get
so intense!

I'm certain he'll
win you over!

'The romance between Karnika and Nandan'

'had crossed the four-month mark.'

Dear.

Your brother has been
waiting for you downstairs since long.

Come on, hurry up.

Gotta go to the temple, right?

He's getting furious.

Don't make him scold you
on this auspicious day. Come.

As if he has ever spoken to me warmly!

Let it go. Come, dear.

You carry on. I'll come in a moment.

Okay. Make it fast.

Hey...

He's the one romancing,
and we're doing all the work!

Don't you smile.

You know Karnan very well, right?

You're playing with an inferno!

Don't expect him to go easy on you
while beating you up.

'Karnika and Nandan
were going through'

'the happiest moments
of their lives.'

'Tomorrow is the 'Thrikkarthika' day of
'Vrishchikam' month.'

'Karnika's birthday.'

Karnika...

What's it that you desire the most
in this world?

I know that it's me.

But apart from me?

I don't desire anything like that, Nandan.

Do you know what my deepest desire is?

To enter our mansion, right?

That's not gonna happen.

I'm scared.

Oh. Low-lives like us
shouldn't enter that place, right?

Forget it.

Get up once.

Just let it go. Get up now.

- What for?
- Don't you want your gift?

Close your eyes and hold out your hand.

What is this?

Open and see.

Where did you get it from?

You wanted this since
your childhood, right?

Yes! But tell me where
did you get it from!

It was you who told me about this.

- Me?
- Yeah.

See? It was there in
the book that you gave me.

And one day,

the deity that our
great-grandfather worshipped

went missing from
under the tree.

Chechi...

Come on. Let's go.

You must tell me about
where you got this from.

Shall I take you to the mansion?

You sure?

When?

Chechi...

Somebody's coming. Let's go.

Keep this with you, Siva.
I'll collect it after the class.

What are you doing here?

I came here with Siva.

Okay.
Get in.

'KILLIKKAVU DEVI TEMPLE
TRIKARTIKA LAMP'

"O Goddess, who resides in the shrine
and is adorned with sandalwood,"

"My Goddess stands before my eyes,
sparkling with enthralling elegance"

"Her eyes are powerful magnets"

"Her lips are rosy
and bright-red"

"Her face shines
like sandalwood"

"A mere sight of her
is a blessing"

"O Goddess,
I stand before you seeking alms"

"Grant me your boundless kindness"

'There's an end to all
kinds of happiness.'

'Especially when it
comes to love.'

'What Karnika had to
endure too was no different.'

'It was the last day in her life
when she was happy,'

'perhaps the last day
when she smiled.'

'That 'Thrikkarthika' night
at Poovarashi mansion.'

[Singing a prayer song]

Seeing all this, I now feel that
the gift I gave you is tiny.

Please don't say that.

The gift you gave me
is the most priceless thing to me.

No, I'll get you a better gift
for your next birthday.

Alright.
What gift are you going to buy me?

That...

I'll make a gold emerald necklace set
for the princess of this mansion.

And on a birthday like this,
I'll drape that necklace around your neck.

A more precious
necklace than this.

Really? More precious than this?

Are you kidding?

My dear Nandan,

even if you spend
your whole life,

you won't be able to buy
a single gemstone in it.

Do you even know
how expensive this is?

Come on! How expensive can it really be?
Fifty thousand rupees at most!

Fifty thousand rupees?!

Of course!
This is just an ordinary gemstone necklace.

Why are you staring at me like that?

You think I should just swallow
all your bragging?

What I said is the truth!

Silly you! I won't believe it!

Come with me.

Get inside.

To where? Inside this cupboard?

Are you out of your mind?

Why are you looking at me like this?

Oh, my Goodness!

What is this door here?

Come, I'll show you.

Come.

Where are you taking me?

Don't worry.
I have no plan to kill you.

Well, after I told you
where I got that serpent idol,

you didn't ask anything about it.

Do you know that guy?

N...no! I...I don't know him.

This is exactly why people
call your Poovarasshi mansion mysterious.

This is nothing.
You should see our Killikkurishi Mansion!

It's much bigger than this.

Where's that Serpent idol?

Don't say a word anymore.

Just walk with me in silence.

What happened, Karnika?

Nandan,

I brought you here,
because I love you so much.

Nobody, including Vasu uncle,
knows about this secret chamber.

You shouldn't say this to anyone,
not even to your friends.

I won't tell anyone.

Don't be scared.

It definitely scares me.

If anybody gets to know this,

then I am dead!

You don't need to open this
if you don't trust me.

Let's go back.

It's not a matter of my trust in you.

I just have this deep fear.

Come.

What on earth is this?!

I've only read about such things
in old books.

Do they really exist in this age too?

What is this?

Just open it and see.

Opening it is not that easy.

You'll need my consent
and help for that.

Why so? Is there a magic trick?

Yeah, it's a small magic trick.

Also, you will need this!

Oh!

Are you kidding?

Anybody can open the door
if you have the key.

Really? Then try opening it!

Give it.

Huh? Not happening?

- That...
- Give me, I will open it.

Here.

How?! How did this happen?!

This is the real key of this lock!

It may sound like superstition to you.

But nobody can open this box
without the presence of this ring.

What's in this box that's too valuable
to be guarded like this?

Open it and see.

Listen,

My brother let me wear this only because
today is my birthday.

We almost lost it
in a robbery attempt long ago,

but my dad saw the thief
so we could get it back.

They said, you can wear this
on some special days and locked it here

What do you think now?

Would this cost only 50,000 rupees?

What gems are these?

Have you heard of 'Aaryaroodam?'

No.

This is a small treasure traditionally kept
and guarded in this mansion.

There's a story about this treasure

that my grandfather told me
when I was a child.

Come fast!

What happened?

My brother is home.

- What will I do now?
- Just escape from here!

- Where is Karnika?
- She is inside.

Where's Devamma?

She went home
because her mother wasn't feeling well.

Anyway, her being here
doesn't make any difference!

As if you don't have enough friends
in the hometown,

now you're hanging
out with outsiders!

Listen,

I heard what you said.

Vasu Uncle, why are you
sticking your nose into my affairs?

I will stick my nose into it, Kannan!

You're coming home late every day,

and boozing with your friends
is getting out of hand.

There is a grown-up girl in this house.

You need to keep that in mind.

I can take care of my sister.

You don't need to worry about it.

Come, serve me food.

In this condition,
he won't understand a thing!

He's friends with such brats! No wonder!

Who is that?!
Hey, you!

Kannan, where are you rushing
at this odd hour?

Just tell me and go.

Why did you come to the mansion?

Ma...mansion?!

I am on my way back from the temple.

Oho!

What happened?

Dear...

There is a talk in town.

That Karnan in Poovarashi mansion
is a merciless man.

Knowing that...

how dare you set foot
in my land, you dog?!

You won't leave here alive
without telling the truth!

Why would I enter your
property, brother?

Then why the hell
did you come inside my mansion?

Brother...

You dared to trespass
on my property!

You'll never see
the light of day again!

I came there to see Karnika.

No...Please no, brother!

- Brother...
- Come!

Please don't harm me.

How dare you?

- Argh!
- No, sir!

No! No, sir!
Just listen to me once.

No, Karnan.

Your life is too valuable
to waste in jail after killing him.

If the locals find out,
your family's reputation will be ruined.

Calm down, Karnan.

Listen to me.

- Come.
- You--

No one should see you
in Peyyavoor again.

Got it?

You'd better leave
this town tomorrow!

'Your brother almost
killed me last night.'

'I know you're very upset now
after hearing this.'

'Please don't cry.'

'Seeing you cry hurts
more than the wounds on my body.'

'I couldn't leave without telling you. '

'I love you so much, Karnika.'

'Please don't hate me.'

"You left leaving a heartache"

"All dreams vanished like a shadow"

"Tears flow like a river"

"As you depart, my beloved"

Listen...

Karnika will no longer
be attending the dance classes.

No one should come here to see her.

"Desires we shared, it's you"

"My life's pursuit, it's you"

"Will the night's beaming flower
ever return to me?"

"Like a barren land in summer"

"My heart aches without you"

"Like a lost tune in my heart"

"Will you make your way back to me"

"Your memories pour like rain"

"You drop as a tear on my cheek"

"Oh, my sweet rainy cloud..."

"You left leaving a heartache"

"All dreams vanished like a shadow"

"Tears flow like a river"

"As you depart, my beloved"

Dear...

Why are you adamantly starving
yourself like this?

I am the one trapped
in between you, siblings!

Just come and have at least this milk
before you sleep.

Vasu uncle...

I want to go back to
the dance school.

I feel suffocated here.

He's already left town.

What are you scared of now?

I just can't bear this anymore.

Please.

"You left leaving a heartache"

"All dreams vanished like a shadow"

Kannan, can't you see
that you're wrong?

How long will you keep her
locked up like this?

Even yesterday, she cried and begged me
to let her attend dance school.

Let her go!

Kannan...

I can't stand seeing
her cry like this.

She has no parents to comfort her—

only you as a relative.

If she harms herself out of despair,

you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

I can only advise you.
It's your call, after all.

"Oh, my sweetheart..."

"Oh, the rainbow bloom"

"Like the warmth of a rain"

"You fill my heart with love"

"Let me sing this lullaby for you"

- Vasu uncle...
- Yes.

I did what any brother would do
if his sister brought

a stranger into her bedroom
in the middle of the night.

Actually, I didn't do enough about it.

I have no regrets.

But...no one here should starve
or harm themselves because of me.

"As a smiling flower,
you bloom in my life"

"You fill in me, my beloved"

"As a shadow, let me follow you"

"Let me colour your memories"

Kannan...

At last, everything you
feared came true.

I'm not able to bear
this pain, Vasu uncle.

My heart is restless.

Vasu uncle, you know
how much I loved her.

I should have at least consoled her
a day before that night!

Let me go out for sometime.

'Vasudevan watched Kannan leave,
unsure of how to console him.'

'How quickly things
turned upside down.'

On one side were the memories of Karnika,
whom he loved like a daughter,

and on the other was Karnan,
overwhelmed with guilt.

He felt utterly helpless.

Turn the pages backward
and read again.

Okay, sir.

Page number 25.

Like many girls,
Karnika also had a love affair.

Stop.

Stop there.

From here, you tell me the story.

Don't you dare lie to me!

If you lie, I'll change both
the location and the method of questioning.

Come on, tell me.

You neatly did the part
you were assigned to do!

Here, paying you extra for that.

Hey, you, go hit on her!

You wish to come to my mansion, right?

That's not happening!

Just open it and see.

Can I take you to my mansion?

Even if you spend your whole life,

you won't be able to buy
a single gemstone in it.

Silly you! I won't believe it!

Come with me.

Where is it?

Here.

I did what you asked me to.

As you said, there are not
just a couple of gems in that room

That box is full of diamonds.

This is all I could take.

For heaven's sake,
please don't harass me for this again.

I am not justifying myself, sir.

When I got the offer
for so much money,

I did it all, fuelled by
my impulsive youth.

Once the work was done, sir paid me
the amount he had promised.

And then I came here.

I haven't been back to
that place ever again.

You are mentioning
'sir' frequently.

Who is this 'sir?'

I have never seen him in person.

I communicated with him
through an agent.

And the author you mentioned,
I don't even know her.

Why should I try
to kill her then?

I'm not bold enough
for that, sir.

I didn't expect that Karnika
would wait for me so long

and then end
her life for me.

After tricking a poor girl by feigning love
for money and driving her to suicide,

are you now pretending
to be a good guy?

I'm letting you go for now
since this isn't the case I'm investigating.

But when I take
the writer woman's statement,

if your name comes up,
you'll pay dearly for all your sins!

He's indeed a fraud, sir.

Look at him lying on your face!

Let's take him to the police station
and give him a few tight slaps,

and he'll spill the whole truth.

Sir, I don't understand
why you're handling this so coldly.

Rajesh, get down here.

Don't forget what I said you.

Don't leave any room for doubt.

Okay, sir.

You brought her till here, right?

Yes, sir.

And you haven't heard
anything they talked about?

I didn't, sir.

They spoke from a distance.

Did she say anything about it
on the way back?

No, sir.

Though I asked her about it,
she didn't say anything.

She said she would explain it later.

Where did you both go from here?

In the end, you ended up at my point!

Yes.

Like you said, it was all
just my delusion.

I have troubled you so much
the past few days!

Sorry.

Nah! Not needed.

Next time you write a story,
leave out the ghosts, devils, and all that.

Go for a cute love story this time!

Sure.

Shall I take your leave, then.

Dad is making tea for you.

Go only after drinking it.

No, you just inform him.
I am already very late.

Bye.

What were we talking about, Irshad?

That story didn't talk about
Nandan cheating Karnika.

Sir, then how did you find out
something that was not in the story?

At first, she had actually
written about it in the story, Irshad.

Later she only decided
no one needs to know about it.

So, how did you know about it?

Let me make it clear.

Christina, just open the story.

Go to page 45.

Quickly skim through the parts

where she says goodbye and leaves,
and the parts that follow.

Do you see anything?

No, sir.

Pay attention to her handwriting
up until that part.

Her handwriting was neat and bold.

Right? But after that?

It is a messy scrawl
with disordered letters

jumbled words and mistakes.

Like it was scribbled hastily.

Hm...Oh...

Perhaps this is the part that
Swaminathan mentioned

she wrote hurriedly
after stepping outside

and returning on that last day.

There you go.

Which means from that point...

she changed the story.

But didn't we check the whole place, sir?

We didn't find anything.

Maybe she destroyed everything.

And possibly, she tried to convert
all to a digital format.

Oh, maybe that's when
Swaminathan came there.

Show me the photos of
the crime scene.

Damn!

We missed something crucial.

Let us imagine a scenario.

Swaminathan gave her tea
and went downstairs.

Ammu continues typing.

Suddenly, she hears a noise outside.

She is afraid.

She quickly saves whatever
she typed until then

into the USB and hurriedly disconnects it.

And that's how
this message is seen.

Get the browsing history from
the restored files on her laptop.

Yes, sir.

That phone too, Christina.

Sir.

Here.

See, she had ordered a product
from Amazon four days back.

And it was delivered two days back.

And this is the product.

Christina.

Search her home thoroughly
and inquire at the hospital as well.

I need this device at any cost.

Sure, sir.

- Irshad.
- Sir?

Arrange an urgent meeting
for tomorrow at sharp 9 am.

Okay, sir.

Yes, Abraham. Carry on.

As per what Swaminathan said,
on the 5th of this month,

Ammu had travelled with Siddharth
for something related to the story.

After 4 days,
that is on the 9th evening to be exact,

she returns home with Siddharth.

On one hand, Siddharth says she was happy

whereas Swaminathan says

she was more worried than
he had ever seen before.

That means, she was trying to
hide something from Siddharth.

And the very next day,

she goes on another trip without Siddharth.

She returns home by
6 PM that evening,

and is attacked at midnight 12 am
that same night.

What are you getting at, Abraham?

Sir, to be precise,

Ammu Swaminathan
left that mansion on June 3rd.

On June 10th, at midnight,
she is attacked in her home.

In between this...

these 7 days.

In these seven days,

she has uncovered secrets
unknown to the outside world.

And on this day...

this very day, we have no clue
where she went or who all she met.

And on that day,
she intentionally left her phone at home.

Why?

Maybe so that no one ever finds out
where she went that day.

So, Abraham.

Who do you think is
behind this attack?

Sir, this is the story
Ammu was writing.

Shadow, the hidden truth.

Throughout this story,
she talks about a black Ambassador car.

But she never mentioned anywhere
who was in that car.

Only 3 people have ever seen
that person in real.

Karnika.

Her brother.

And the caretaker.

As per the information we've received,
Karnika has committed suicide.

The caretaker died
after being stabbed by her brother.

Then, Karnan.

He has been in jail for that crime.

We've submitted a request
to the court to question him.

Aside from these 3 people,

only one other individual
has seen that person in real life.

It has only been around 24 hours
since I started investigating this case.

Still, I can confidently say one thing.

Unlike what we think,

her aim was not just to write a story.

Something beyond that.

Sir.

Sir, your guess was right.
We got the device.

Good.

Got it.

So, let Ammu Swaminathan
tell the remaining story.

Miss Ammu Swaminathan.

It's your turn now.

Achayan.

Somebody must've killed that poor soul.

And they might've framed it as suicide.

She might be trying to request me
to change this part of the story.

As well as to help her.

Listen, Ammu. Have you gone nuts?

See...

All these could be your mere imagination.

Anyway, what can we do about
something like this?

Are we cops or something?

I don't know what to do!

But I feel like I must help her.

Hey...

those who finished her would be
still roaming around scot-free today.

Listen...

hasn't it been several years
since all this happened?

And as you said, nobody lives there now.

Listen...

shall we do an investigation?

We can include whatever information we get
into the story too.

Perhaps it's all my imagination
as you said.

But what if it's true?

I want to know.

Who killed her,

why,

and how.

Siddhu...

The cops didn't hit you, right?

Nope. Why should they?

They asked me about
the places I took Ammu to.

And I gave them all the info.

Wow. Nice.

So here it is!

Karnika's infamous 'Thekkini' room

from Poovarashi mansion.

Oh!

So you still don't believe
whatever I said, huh?

Oh-no! Nothing like that.
I was just kidding.

In a way, it's better that
you don't believe it. Come now.

Let me show you the room where I saw her.

Come.

'Karnika, I know you're
somewhere around here.'

'I can feel your presence.'

'I am trying to rectify the mistakes
which you pointed out.'

'I'm not sure if I will succeed in it.'

'Perhaps if I succeed in it,'

'this world will get to know several truths
through me and my words.'

'I am kick-starting
my investigation from here,'

'expecting your consent.'

What's this, huh?

We gotta go!

Come.

She and her antics!

A distinguished family lived in
Poovarashi mansion.

A family where Karnika, her brother,

and their parents lived happily.

I still remember one such day.

It was the day of
the 'Thrikkarthika' festival.

That night, their mom and dad

had gone on a journey to Mangalore.

It was their final journey.

On the way,
they met with an accident and...

Since then, Karnan changed completely.

'He stopped caring about Karnika.'

'He found new friends, started drinking,
and began creating troubles.'

'Karnika always used to tell me that'

she loved her brother more than
her parents or anyone else in the world.

the brother she once loved
now frightened her at the mere sight.

'Whether it was due to the guilt of
possibly being the reason for Karnika's suicide,'

'Karnan was shattered.'

'But another murder left him
even more devastated.'

'Karnan from Poovarashi mansion
stabbed Vasudevan to death.'

'The townsfolk and media
celebrated the news.'

What's the matter, sir?

- Tell me what it is!
- We'll tell you at the police station! Come!

Move!

- Put him in the jeep!
- Let go of me!

Move, you!

- Tell me the matter!
- Will you come only if we tell you, huh?

'The court sentenced him to
seven years in prison.'

'It was the first time I saw Karnan
in such a devastated state.'

He really liked Vasudevan.

'I still don't believe that
it was him who did it.'

'But all the evidence was against him.'

'When Karnan was in trouble,'

'none of his new friends showed up.'

Chechi...What's that?

It is the holy plaque blessed by
Sooryanarayanan Namboothiri.

Everybody says that Karnika's spirit is
roaming around here.

Here?

But I've been coming here since long.

I've never seen anything like that.

You too visited here
a couple of days ago, right?

You went inside too, right?

Did you get scared? No, right?

People around here won't give her peace
even after her death!

Chechi...

Do you have the contact numbers of
Karnika's friends or classmates?

Or their address or something?

Well, it'll be useful for Ammu.

You can ask the girls here who are her age.

Most of them are her classmates.

Well, we got an idea about the mansion.

We wanted to know more personal details.

In that case, there was a girl
who used to come here with her often.

She was her classmate at the dance school.

Her name...

Ardra.

Yes, Ardra. How did you find it?

No, chechi. I just said it.

That's the name. Ardra.

Is she the one?

Yes. She's the one.

Ardra Nambiar.

Owner, Ardram School of Arts,
Madassery.

I'm feeling so happy.

You know,
I haven't felt this happy in so long!

Thank God! You smiled!
That's enough for me!

- Ammu...
- Yeah?

- What's the matter?
- Some people...

who we consider our inspiration?

They would always be there for us.

When small fights break out
between friends,

they would be our mediators.

Just sitting with them

can give us a positive vibe.

And

it was you.

You used to be our inspiration.

I don't know when

I lost my old Ammu.

You are right.

As you guys think,

there's a reason behind my change.

Let that reason remain with me.

Alright.
I'm not asking you anything further.

But...

come back fast.

So, what's next?

Be ready tomorrow morning itself.

It's gonna be a long journey.

Karnika. She was my dear friend.

While at school, she used to share
a lot of things with me.

So, was Karnika in love or something?

Do you have anything to say about that?

Stop it...

Oh-no! I didn't mean it that way.

You were the one
who spent more time with Karnika.

That's why we came here instead of
meeting her nearby friends.

No, that's alright.

I was thinking about it.

She was in love with a guy named Nandan
who used to work in the temple.

Nandan used to play 'Idakka'
and sing praises of the deity.

He was also a part-time drawing instructor
at our arts school.

But their relationship was short-lived.

Her brother found out about
their relationship

and severely beat him up.

He came to meet me the next morning.

He gave me a letter
and asked me to give it to Karnika.

I don't know what happened after that.

She too stopped coming for dance classes
after that.

I tried to meet her several times.

But her brother didn't let me.

Honestly, she must've been so dejected that

she did it...

Well, did you meet Nandan after that?

Nope. We moved here after that.

I didn't maintain much contact there.

Do you have any photos of Nandan?

Why would I have his photo?

I've seen him, spoke with him.
Apart from that,

I was never acquainted with Nandan.

Alright then, teacher.
We shall take your leave.

- Oh-no! How can you go back this late?
- Right.

- Better leave tomorrow morning.
- Sure.

That won't be right, teacher.

We shall get going.

It'll be a burden for you.

- What burden?
- She's right.

- You may go tomorrow morning itself.
- Okay!

- Okay?
- Okay.

- Wonder where the teacher is.
- Teacher...

Oh. Here she is.

- Are you already leaving?
- Yeah.

I had gone to the temple.

- Did you have food?
- Yes. But

the Sambar was a bit too salty. Right?

No. It was perfect.

See you then.

Bye.

Teacher...

Who is he?

He is our drawing instructor.

- Thank you so much.
- See you.

Diesel for 2000 rupees.

Fill the tank lavishly!

How could you let go of that gem of a girl,
Nandan, you loser?!

If I were in his place...

Come on!

God doesn't give chances
to those who truly deserve it!

Now, how do we track down this damn guy?
I have no clue!

We've reached this far.

We will track him down, too.

Ah! Hope so!

Is it over, dear?

[OVER PA] 'There will be a
music concert by Mr Gokulam Vishvanath'

'and 'Idayka'
musical instrument performance.'

Hello.

Yes, this is Killikkavu Devaswom office.

Huh?! Nandan?

Just a minute.

Nobody named Nandan works here.

Brother...give me that phone.

Hello, greetings.

Which Nandan are you asking about?

Well, he's a new joinee here.

Where are you from?

- Just say the matter and go, Shivan...
- I'm coming. Just a minute.

Is this your number?

I will get back to you.

Alright.

- Listen...
- I am coming, brother.

The Nandan you mentioned
was a staff at our temple five years ago.

But he left the job one fine morning
and went from here.

Then I met him last month.

We took a picture of him leaving here
for the last time.

Here, have a look.

- Can I take a copy of it?
- Yeah.

Okay, thank you.

Alright.

Can you please share Nanadan's number?

I'm sorry, I don't have his number.

I asked him for it,
but I forgot to get it during our chat.

He said he was going to a nearby place

and we'd meet again once he got back.

I didn't note down his number.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing, it's okay.

If Nandan comes, please inform him
that Ardra's cousin came to meet him.

- Anyways, thanks.
- Alright.

- Is there any problem?
- Nah, nothing.

Alright.

Damn!

Let it go.
Come with me.

Don't get fed up so fast.

How will I trace down him now?

We will trace him down.

Let's search his image in Google Images
and see if any matching face is popping up.

Oh, God! I am starving!

Let's go from here!

Let me see if we can find a hotel here.

HEY!

Is this how you drive?!
Are you blind?

- Don't you have eyes?!
- What?!

- Can't you see we reversing the car?
- What?!

You are in our town and messing with us?

Are all the town folks blind here?

Let me see how you go out from here!

Are you not coming out?

- Such a pain!
- Any issue, man?

- Should we interfere?
- Just leave from here, man.

It's your luck that
there is a girl with you now!

Give me your phone.

- I said give me your phone!
- HERE!

Such a headache!

KL 08 vehicle registration
is from which part of Kerala?

Ammu...

Don't worry, dear.

I am here with you.

No matter where he is in Thrissur,
we will trace him down!

When he clicked a photo,

he could have clicked it
with the entire number!

Then we could have
heroically landed up in his house!

Ah, its alright!

Anyway, things are going
at a faster pace than we expected.

There's no surprise, by the way!

With a lucky guy like me by your side,

things will always go smoothly!

Oh, no!

What's wrong now?!

I checked it just last week.

Why are you looking at me like that?
As if I ruined the car on purpose!

Let me check the car.

What's the problem?!

Come on!

What to tell her now?!

Listen...

There's a small problem.

Will have to get a mechanic for the repair.

Oh, lucky guy!
Come, let's have a juice.

Come, dude!

Juice is a good idea.

Sidhu...

We will have to start searching for him
from tomorrow morning.

But I have no clue where to start with.

One thing is guaranteed.

If we get hold of this guy, Nandan,

90 percent of your story
will get completed.

That's true.
But for that, we need the guy, right?

Thrissur is just a probability.

Just one percent chance.

Luck is still with you, dear.

Your lucky guy
is still bringing luck to you!

Yeah, your luck has brought us here!

Exactly!

What say?!

I am your lucky charm, right?

Yes, of course! You are!

Wait here.

Don't let him know that you are with me.

There's something I wanna do now.

Perhaps, we will win this.

Or...

Come on, let's see!

All the very best, my dear.

Thank you.

Mr. Nandan?

Yes.

I am Ammu Swaminathan.
I am a journalist.

I write stories and articles
in news dailies and magazines.

Okay.

I am from Peyyavoor.

I am writing a new story nowadays.

Its an investigation story.

It's about someone you know.

What's your intention?

My intention...

you can easily read it from my eyes.

I don't understand anything.

We both know that Karnika's death
was not a suicide, but a murder.

If you can tell me your role in it--

Are you out of your mind?!

What are you accusing me of?

Sir, if you shout and create a scene here
it will only affect you.

There are cops around this hotel.

If you tell the truth,
things will go smoothly for you.

Otherwise,
we'll have to drag you out of here

in front of your staff and customers.

Well, it's your call.
Tell me what you want.

I know you ran off like a loser,
leaving a letter behind for her.

But a few days
after your farewell with her,

you went back to that mansion again.

Why?

I told you we should have given him
a slap right away!

Damn his melodrama!

He was absolutely sure
the woman wouldn't backstab him.

Moreover she is hospitalised now.

He deserves an award for his acting skills!

And we, cops, put on
a better act, Christina!

Didn't we swallow everything he said
as if we knew nothing?!

We also want to know
about the same thing.

Why?
Why did you go to that mansion again?

Ugh! Sir, he's still delivering his
Oscar level acting performance!

In that case, I will beat him
to pulp right in front of you!

No need, Christina.
He will spill the truth,

won't you?!

Come on, you!

'Like you said, I betrayed a naive girl
for some money. '

'But after a few days without her,'

'I realized how much I loved her.'

'No matter how I tried to justify myself,'

'I kept reflecting on my sins.'

'I wanted to see her again
and beg for forgiveness at her feet.'

'That's why I went there again
at that night.'

'When the girl I loved so dearly'

'was being brutally murdered
right in front of me,'

'I just stood there silently,
like a stupid loser.'

'A cowardly loser!'

But how did she find out
that you went back to the mansion?

Oh, Nandan sir!

How are you managing this cafe, after all?!

It's so easy to trick you.

I was lying all this while.

Yeah, I am indeed a journalist.

But I don't even know you.

But she's still waiting for you
at that mansion,

not realising you betrayed her.

I need to do something for her
so her soul can find salvation.

You don't need to worry.

I won't reveal this to anyone

and I won't include it in my story.

Because...

Because it shouldn't be up to the law...

to punish her murderers!

- What does that mean?
- I asked her the same question.

But she left without giving me any answers.

The next day,
she came to the hotel again to meet me.

She wanted to take me
somewhere with her.

Where did you both go?

I warned you multiple times
not to come here and see me!

Who asked you to write a story
about the Poovarashi mansion?

Hey!

Even if you write that story,
it won't bring back what I've lost.

I don't need a journalist
to gauge the gravity of my losses!

Listen carefully!
Better you stop this right now!

Understood?!

Did you understand?!

Kannan...

Ammu!

Whoever killed Uncle Vasu,

I deserve this punishment.

I'm enduring it as God's retribution

for leaving Karnika at the mercy of death.

That's my fate.

I'm afraid if you continue
this damn investigation

I might lose you too.

Try to understand.

You better stop chasing this, Ammu.

Just leave.

I went to Samual's house today.

Why did you go there?

He...he...why is he here?!

Ammu, I am asking you!

Karnika's death wasn't a suicide.

She was murdered.

What happened?

Cat got your tongue?

Are you not mad at me now?

Have you ever revealed anything me?

About your mansion...

or about Karnika?

How many times did I ask you
to discuss our relationship with Karnika?

You just couldn't let go of
your royal ego back then.

You never valued my words or my desires.

If I had been with her,
none of this would have happened.

I wouldn't have allowed
anyone to betray her!

You lived your arrogant life,
boozing with your damn friends,

while pushing your sister
into death's grasp!

And now you're mad at me?!

Whoever killed her,
I will expose that rascal!

I know what to do!

Do you know?

Since you got arrested,

I haven't smiled peacefully even once.

Do you know how long it's been
since I've had a good night's sleep?

What excuse should I give everyone
for all this?

My life has turned into a wait
for you to come back.

I wouldn't have gone through any of this.

But Karnika...

She drew me into all of this.

I saw her.

She's still restlessly wandering in
that mansion, without finding salvation

I'll do anything for her,

no matter who tries to stop me.

Madam.

I'll drop you.

Auto!

I haven't seen her after that, sir.

The next day,
I found out from the news that

someone tried to kill her and

that she is now in the hospital.

The reason I lied to you
that day at the hotel

was because I was scared of Samuel.

Do you remember around what time
she got into that auto?

Around 12 o'clock, sir.

What time did Swaminathan say
she got home?

Around 6 pm, sir.

This means she must have
gone somewhere else

between leaving the jail
and arriving at her house.

Will you be able to recognise the auto
she went in?

'NEWBIES COME THIS WAY!'

Brother, please stop.

'SREE SHAKTHI ASTROLOGY'

'NEWBIES COME THIS WAY!'

Brother, please wait, okay?

Okay, madam. I will wait.

- Is it possible to see the priest?
- Do you've an appointment?

I don't have one.

You need one if you have to see Dad.

Oh, no. Can you please check with him?

I'm coming from far away.

Sorry, but it's not possible.
Dad will go into prayer now.

Devu.

- Tell her to come in.
- Come in.

Hm...Come in.

Sit down.

Wasn't it Samuel John
who just left from here?

Hm...yes.

Why did he come here?

Why should I tell you that?

Tell me what do you need?

Peyyavoor.

Five years back, you bound a spirit
in Poovarashi mansion, right?

Please hear me out patiently.

I cannot entirely believe
what you're saying.

But when I piece it together,

how Samuel seemed so worried a while back

and his request to completely bind
Karnika's spirit,

I feel what you're saying is valid too.

Please believe me.

I've been behind this
for the past several days.

I travelled a lot
and did a lot of hard work

to collect all this information.

It is true that you travelled a lot.

But each step of yours...

was controlled by her.

[Singing devotional song]

She guided you through
each moment of crisis.

Without yourself even knowing it.

In her eyes,

you were already chosen.

'The name is...'

'Ardra.'

'I will try.'

'Now, how do we track down this damn guy?
I have no clue!'

'Nandan used to play the 'idakka'
and sing praises of the deity.'

'How will I trace down him now?'

'Oh, lucky guy!
Come, let's have a juice'

She will never be able to
break free from the amulets I enchanted

and leave that mansion.

That's where she used your presence.

And you are emotionally connected
to that mansion too.

So she's putting you right up front

and bewitching someone else.

She is not a spirit waiting
for her celestial lover, as you think.

She's a spirit waiting to get her enemy
on her own turf.

[Singing devotional song]

[Singing devotional song]

Your investigation is heading
in the right direction.

But the person you're investigating...

won't last this night.

Is Samuel sir inside?

He's inside. Come in.

Pappa, two people are here to see you.

Achayan.

Here. There's more than what you asked for.

You know, sir...

people like us who are suffering
and struggling

will do anything for this
out of desperation.

People like you who have money
will take advantage of our situation too.

This is dampened by a girl's tears.

But I also need this to
save my mother's life.

Have you thought about the situation

if her brother finds out
you were betraying him behind his back.

Don't worry, sir.

I won't betray you.

If I wanted to do that,

I'd have done it last night itself.

Who's she?

Why are you asking that to him, sir?

I was the one who brought him.

I won't beat around the bus.
I'll come straight to the point.

I know it wasn't you who killed Karnika.

But only you know who did it.

You have to tell me who it was.

Hey, sir!

Why are you looking at him?

He doesn't have the guts to even
sit in front of you.

Anyway, no one living knows the truth.

So, just understand that
the dead returned to reveal it.

Now you understand everything.

I will give you 24 hours.

You must tell me the truth about
who did it within that time.

Now if you have no plans to disclose it,

I'll just make you the villain
and close this story.

And I'll publish it very soon.

I don't need to tell you
what's going to happen after that, right?

You should know how powerful
a writer can be.

I don't know how.

But that girl told me everything

as if she had witnessed it herself.

It's true I've done
many bad things for money,

but I've never participated
in any gain from taking a life.

Let me make one thing clear.

If that girl drags my name into her story,

I'll take you down with me for sure!

Are you trying to scare me, Samuel?

Huh?

Anyway, she needs to
get out of the hospital

to be able to write and publish her story.

I will take care of that.

You go to Alancode like I told you to.

I need that other girl!

The one who brought the writer to you.

When did Pappa go out?

It has been an hour or two.

Can you give me his number, dear?

Yes.

9496593575.

Okay.

Let me show you a photo.

Has she come here before?

She had come to see Pappa two days ago.

This number is switched off, sir.

Why are you scared, dear?
Your dad had given us a case.

We came to ask him about it. Okay?

Just tell him when he comes.

- Let's go?
- Okay.

Show me the picture we took at the mansion.

Sir.

Where did he get this chain from?

Pappa's friend gifted it for my birthday.

Who's that friend?

And where's the chain?

It is not here now.

Where did you say your Pappa went?

Mom!

- Where's Vinod?
- He's not here.

He went out with a friend.

Was it with Samuel?

- Yes, madam.
- Sir.

There's a problem.

That Karnan...

escaped from jail.

'No matter how much try,
you cannot stop his fate.'

Brother...

it wasn't Samuel who killed our Karnika.

I saw it...

I know who did it.

I was scared...

which is why I never told anyone about it.

But...

now you should know everything.

Vinod'eta

Vinod'eta

Hey! Vinod!

What's that?
What's in your hand?

Show it!

Rascal!

- What happened?
- Did your son start stealing?

How many times should I dip it
in the Ganges to get it clean?

Don't you dare come close
to this mansion ever again.

Take him away!

What a nuisance!

'That is Aryaroodam, son.'

'These are jewels that only
the ladies of the mansion use.'

'You don't go touching it, okay, son?'

'Just come, have atleast this milk
before you sleep.'

Son, don't!
It's the house that sustains us.

- Move, you old geezer!
- Leave it there.

Move away!

I'll tell this to Karnan! I will!

- You will, huh?
- I will!

- You're gonna tell him, huh?
- I will tell! I will!

- Really?
- Yes!

Don't!

Don't!

What are you afraid of? Go inside!

Karnika!

Stop your games!

My mistake was not binding you
completely last time.

No matter how powerful you are as a spirit,

I will ensure you're thoroughly locked up!

Tonight, you can laugh.

Until the one who will confine you arrives.

No, Vinod.

No one you expect
will come to this mansion tonight.

[Singing devotional song]

[Singing devotional song]

Aha!

Close the door.

Come on, Karnan!

The last heir of Poovarashi mansion.

I've been waiting for you to get out.

Looks like you got here early, huh?

But I am sad about this.

I'll be killing you here now.

Which is way earlier than
what I had originally planned.

But what to do, Karnan?

We cannot win against this fate.

You're right.

It's my fate.

When you destroyed my happiness

with this Shikhandi in the forefront,

you must have thought
this Karnan was a failure.

I'm not the Karnan from Mahabharata, Vinod!

I won't wait for my death,
knowing I've been deceived.

Regardless...

in this war, the victory
won't be yours, Vinod!

Because...

It is not me who will decide

if you will be leaving this mansion alive!

Didn't I tell you someone's coming
to confine her?

I didn't say it would be the priest.

I was sent by Alancode Adisheshan.

[chanting mantras]

Come on!

Come!

Get up, Karnan!

Don't you want to take revenge

on me for killing your sister?

Yes, sir. We have tracked him.

We're on our way there.

Sure, sir.

I will kill you like how
I killed your sister

and set this Poovarashi mansion on fire!

Karnan.

In this war, I will be winning.

Because I only know how to win.

You only know that your parents
died in an accident.

Do you know how it happened though?

Then, your sister.

I felt bad doing it.

But what can I do Karnan?

I need to get what I wished for.

I've been waiting
for years for this.

I will finish off whoever stands
against my wishes,

even if it is my own father!

And your lover, that writer!

The world believed it to be a suicide
and had forgotten about it.

She dug it up to ruin my peace of mind!

I wanted to kill her that's why
I went to her house that night.

Dear!

What happened?

Guess she has a long life,
that's why she was saved.

But Karnan!

She will not leave that hospital!

She will not come to Poovarashi mansion
as your bride.

I'll finish her too!

Also, Karnan...

I've not left behind
a single piece of evidence

for anything I've done so far.

And for what I'm going to do as well.

[Singing devotional song]

[Singing devotional song]

Dad...

I don't know how to express my love...

She...

She keeps telling me to express my love.

Now...

If I want to express it...

I don't have the time to wait...

Never thought this would happen...

I...

Please forgive me.

If my daughter...

could wait all these years for you.

And if she could give up all her happiness.

That's all that is needed...

to understand that you have a good heart.

From now on...

don't be sad thinking you've no one.

I'm there for you.

We're all with you.

Hardly two more years.

After that you can live the life
you wished for.

No one will come to disturb your peace.

Karnika?

KARNIKA

Ammu.

When you wake up from this sleep,

you will be disturbed.

Because now I know that the goal
of your journey is still unfinished.

Your journey to the Shaileshwara Naga idol,

which was the revered
centrepiece of worship

for a mansion and everyone in that town.

I don't know what your bond with it is.

Anyway, I know that before the upcoming
Naga Pournami day

that idol should be back
at Killikurish mansion.

But...

Where is it now?

Unaware of the impending danger...

who holds it now?
