'My name is Gaurav Tiwari.'

'I've come to help you.'

Could you please reveal your presence?

You may share your problem

or talk to us.

'Ghosts and evil spirits'

'are still treated as a joke in India.'

'We use scientific methods'

'to find out'

'the reasons for the existence'

'of spirits.'

What is the truth?

Through this show, I want to tell the world

that spirits exist.

Should we be afraid of them?

'Surprising, unimaginable, and unbelievable!'

'Gaurav Tiwari, who said he believed in science,'

'died mysteriously.'

'We're getting breaking news that there have been new revelations.'

'Paranormal researcher Gaurav Tiwari's death...'

'Gaurav Tiwari died mysteriously.'

'- He was responsible for bringing... - Gaurav Tiwari...'

'He died at around 9:30.'

'Gaurav Tiwari was a noted ghost hunter.'

The cause of death is asphyxiation,

but this mark is confusing.

This mark is an abrasion.

It's something

like an imprint.

It could be fingers or a hand.

Maybe the marks on the towel

match this mark.

No.

Whatever,

I have never seen such signs

in any strangulation case before.

That's surprising.

I've seen him on TV.

I think he was a famous ghost catcher.

Really?

Sorry!

'Why did you talk to Riya?'

What's up, bro?

- How are you? - I'm fine.

Scoundrel!

You're going to London to take flying lessons?

I'm not going to London.

I'll go to Nottingham first.

It's three hours from London.

The Sherwood Flying Club is situated there.

You mean you'll go there by flight, and come back flying one.

Yes, quite true.

Oi!

What's going on?

We're calling a spirit.

Are you serious? Have you lost it?

Come on, guys! Are you scared?

Why would I be?

Come on, GT.

Let's do it. Argh!

Let's begin.

Guys, who should we summon?

I've always wished to meet Kishore Kumar.

"I wouldn't have lived..."

- Please stop singing. - Please stop it!

Please be quiet.

- Please! Please! - Please stop it, Shor Kumar.

Let's not summon celebrities.

They're already so busy.

Correct! Let's summon a non-celebrity.

- Correct! - Guys.

Shall we summon Puggy's grandmother?

Since it's her house,

she must know the address.

- Mother... - Uh-uh!

- Don't say "mother", it's "grandmother". - Grandmother!

Please tell us. What is your grandmother's name?

Kusum Kumari Pachauri.

- Really! - Please don't laugh.

- Let's summon Ms. Kusum Kumari Devi. - Wonderful.

Let's meet and greet her.

- Right? - Done!

- Okay. - Close your eyes, and hold hands.

Greetings, Ms. Kusum Kumari Pachauri Devi.

We're inviting you.

If you want to say something

or give Puggy a message,

you may do so.

Please come.

Come here.

Come here!

Come on!

Bunty, please write.

Okay.

'Hello!'

'Children.'

'I am'

'Kusum Kumari Devi.'

My name is Kusum Kumari Devi.

I'm the landlady

of this house.

You have all

made my heavenly house

a hell!

You've spoiled my antique furniture

with frequent parties,

soiled my curtains,

and turned my garden

into a jungle!

Two cups

of my Noritake tea set

have been broken.

Puggy,

you've always been

a slacker

and will remain so.

Champu!

Don't be a wimp!

Come on, let go!

- You scoundrel! - You're so fainthearted!

- Shame on you guys. - Don't be a sissy.

Gaurav, you're an amazing actor.

Forget about becoming a pilot and focus on acting.

So you were acting?

I'm sorry! But it was fun.

- GT. - Hmm?

Tell me something.

- You were acting like my grandmother downstairs. - Hmm.

Were you serious or joking?

Of course, I was joking.

Then

how do you know about my grandmother's Noritake tea set?

You must have told me. Otherwise, how would I know?

One more thing. The word "Champu"...

My grandmother used to call me by that name when I was a child.

How could you possibly know that?

Either you must have told me,

or someone must have called you "Champu".

Forget about it. Have you ever seen her photo?

I have her photo.

Look. My grandmother's right hand had only four fingers.

Her index finger was severed.

So what?

When you were imitating her,

you had folded your index finger.

As if it wasn't there.

Gaurav, seriously.

How did that happen, bro?

'Puggy compelled GT to introspect.'

'Something that was about to happen thousands of miles away'

'would change his life forever.'

'What took you so long?'

'- Traffic! - What took you so long?'

'"Traffic?"'

'This is Gaurav Tiwari.'

'- This is Gaurav Tiwari's first solo. - First solo!'

'He's enjoying a lot!'

'This side, please!'

'First solo!'

'Happy Solo!'

'- Woo-hoo! - Well done! Congratulations!'

'Gaurav, it's the traditional juice bath.'

'This is a big moment, buddy! Your first solo flight!'

- Congratulations! - Thank you!

- Congrats, my man! - Thank you!

The air pressure has dipped suddenly.

Vicky, something doesn't look right.

My throttle lever is not working.

'What?'

And the altimeter doesn't show the reading.

'Please check the fuel mix switch'

'and restart all the controls.'

Copy!

Vicky!

Vicky, I'm facing an engine failure!

'- Overhead...' - Vicky, do you copy?

Vicky, nothing seems to be working.

'- And then...' - Vicky, come in!

'Hello! Hello!'

- Vicky, can you hear me? '- Hello!'

Vicky, I can't hear you.

Mayday!

Mayday! Mayday!

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

Mayday! Mayday!

Can anyone read me? Help!

Calm down, kid!

I've got this.

- Who are you? - Do as I say?

'The main problem'

'is the fuel mixture knob.'

'Toggle it a few times.'

'Keep your hand on it firmly.'

Bro, that was truly scary.

Someone was there with me.

Who?

He was a pilot.

He helped me land safely and...

He's just gone.

These people think you panic big time in pressure situations.

Vicky, what is the history of this plane?

I don't know the history, but...

It went for repairs two months ago.

See!

This plane's instrument cluster and red mixture knob

have been replaced.

They belong to a crashed plane.

'Actually, the cluster panel'

'belonged to an Eastern Midland Airlines Flight 201.'

'It crashed two years ago in Sherwood Forest,'

'killing 40 passengers on board.'

What about the flight's pilots?

Captain Donald Repo and Captain "Bob" Loft.

They both died in the plane crash.

'Help!'

'There was just one place that could help me'

'find the answers to my questions.'

'The Church of Metaphysical & Humanistic Science.'

'They use a REM-Pod,'

'a TriField Meter,'

'and other scientific devices such as EMF Meters'

'to detect electromagnetic fields'

'and communicate with spirits.'

- Gaurav, pleased to meet you. I'm Julia. - Hi!

- Hi! - Hi!

So, basically...

This is...

'They heard my story carefully.'

There was an incident that happened to me when I was flying.

And I thought it would be best to come here.

'They took me to a desolate and haunted hospital to test me.'

'Apparently, there was someone'

'in the morgue's freezer box number four.'

Okay, Julia, I'm...

I'm here. I'm going to switch on my EMF Meter.

Is anyone there?

Hello!

Okay, Julia. I'm in front of the freezer box.

The EMF is flashing red.

Okay, Gaurav.

I just want you to stay calm.

'It's really important.'

Hello!

Gaurav?

Julia, I can't hear you.

Gaurav, can you hear me?

Julia, hello!

Maureen...

I'm Gaurav.

I'm here to help!

'A female spirit had been haunting that mortuary for years.'

'She was Maureen Brown.'

'Many people before me tried to communicate with her.'

The spirit has been stuck...

'But everyone failed.'

For years!

This is a sign, Gaurav. Your ability...

'They believe I have a special connection with spirits.'

'Very few people in the world have this power.'

This is an amazing natural talent.

In your flight report,

you maintained that you saw

the illusion of an older pilot

who helped you land the plane.

Why haven't you amended this?

Don't you realise this can ruin your career?

Then what did you say?

I said what I should have.

'Sir, that's your version of the truth, and this is mine.'

That pilot was not an illusion.

I know it was a spirit.

Captain "Bob" Loft's spirit.

He couldn't save the lives

of the 40 passengers on board while he was alive,

but he saved my life after his death.

I think it's only fair...

Maybe by acknowledging his identity,

I can help liberate his spirit.

'Did you fail?'

'I'm sorry, Dad.'

'Dad, I finally know what I want to become.'

Oh, really!

What do you want to become, sir?

I...

Please tell us.

What do you want to become?

Dad, I...

Dad, I want to become a paranormal investigator.

- Huh. - "Paranormal!"

- Huh? - Investigator...

Hang on. What did you say?

Do you mean a detective?

Do you want to become a spy?

No.

In a way, yes.

I want to be an investigator,

but I want to investigate spirits.

Good Lord!

Our son wants to be an occultist!

I spent thousands of pounds

to help you study in another part of the world,

only for you to come back and become an occultist!

No, Dad. It's not that. I...

Hang on. Let me explain. Give me a minute.

Mom.

Dad, while I was in England,

I joined a Metaphysical Church.

Oh, God! Did you become a Christian?

No, Mom. It doesn't mean that.

It's a kind of society.

They do some interesting work.

Dad, they connect to the souls

of the dead.

They talk to them

and help them, Dad.

This is a kind of science, and I studied it.

Dad, no one does this in India.

- This is why I want to be India's first paranormal investigator. - Oi!

I beg you to stop this 'abnormal' feat. Please spare me.

Please spare us.

Do you remember your promise?

If you don't become a pilot,

you'll join the nuts-and-bolts factory.

Do you remember?

Dad, this is what I really want to do.

I don't want to hear anything now.

You must come to the factory tomorrow at 10 am.

Chandok will teach you how to make nuts and bolts,

and your father will teach you

how to build a future.

Dad, I've learned something scientific.

Dad, even they believe

I have some special talent.

Dad, I was their best student.

Fine.

I believe you.

Please come to the factory

at 9:30 am sharp.

Dad, please hear me out.

'- Gaurav. - Hmm?'

Nuts and bolts help

tighten machine parts

and also our entire life.

As for the bolts,

they are of different types.

Look at this. A hex bolt.

An eye bolt, plow bolt,

shoulder bolt,

lag bolt, eye bolt,

and screw bolt.

You said it twice.

"Eye bolt."

- Huh? - You said it twice.

Wonderful.

Son, both your eyes

and ears are sharp.

Your father has high hopes for you.

Oh, no! I forgot about this bolt.

This is an important one.

It's called a spring bolt. Let's go.

'A student in Mumbai's Hawkins Hostel attacked by a spirit.'

Hello! Hawkins Hostel?

May I speak to your warden, please?

'Please don't worry. If you need anything, just let me know.'

No problem. You may go.

- Are you Mr. Kaul? - Yes.

Sir, I'm Gaurav Tiwari.

I had called you earlier.

Sir, where is the boy's room?

Do you mean Room 213?

- Is it upstairs? - Uh.

- Thank you, sir. - But who are you?

And what do you do?

It's not safe to go there.

Will you really talk to a spirit?

Yes, sir.

An occultist came this morning

and performed some rituals here.

Are you like him?

No, sir. I'm not an occultist.

Then what are you?

You'll soon find out,

and I will too.

Aren't you scared?

Of course, I am, sir.

As the saying goes, "Knowledge cancels fear".

Who said that?

I did.

Hello!

My name is Gaurav Tiwari.

Is somebody here?

I come in peace.

If you want...

[in Marathi] 'Did you come here to watch a show?'

Come out!

Come on!

I told you that no one should be allowed entry.

Then why did you let him inside?

Sir, he said he wanted to speak to the spirit.

Oh, really?

Will he?

- Sir, actually... - Is he an occultist?

No, sir. I'm not an occultist.

Oh. He must be a journalist.

No, sir. I...

What the hell do you know?

- Let me talk... - Do you think I'm an idiot?

- Out! - Sir.

People just want to while away time.

Nonsense.

We can't even talk to our wives,

yet he claims he can talk to spirits.

- It's your fault, not his. - Is that so?

You claim to be a ghostbuster in faded jeans,

a chequered shirt, and trainers!

- Is that so? - You must follow the dress code of the occultists.

Wear your mom's black nightie...

- Good. - Wear a necklace and carry a tong with you.

Only then will they take you seriously.

Shut up, guys.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

But GT, seriously.

Do you want to pursue 'ghost catching' full-time?

First of all, it's not "catching".

It's "connecting".

No one has pursued it as a serious profession in India yet,

so I'll be the first.

Here's a surprise for you.

Check that.

- Please take one. - Okay.

'Indian Paranormal Society'

Listen, please shorten it to "IPS".

Those criticising you today

will salute you tomorrow.

Please don't pull my leg!

Gaurav, please.

I know it's your passion,

but it can't be your profession.

'He had already made it a profession.'

'While he was forming the IPS team,'

'he met Megha.'

Why are you doing this?

I want to know the unknown.

What will you do once you know them?

Will you get bored and abandon it,

or will you turn it into a business?

Am I interviewing you, or is it the opposite?

I didn't go to UK to earn a degree in Paranormal Sciences,

but I grew up in Panchgani,

where there was a graveyard behind my house.

I used to frequent such places with my friends.

Actually, I used to wander around aimlessly.

Interesting.

This is why I know paranormal powers

and believe in them.

I've felt it.

Not just practically, but also in theory.

I've read all the books about paranormal phenomena.

I know who I am,

but how will I know about you?

By joining my IPS team.

'14, Royal Villas, Goregaon, Mumbai.'

Vikram, I'll prepare the salad in two minutes.

'I'm running late. I can eat outside.'

Bruno! Bad boy!

You ate your food, right?

Go!

Disha, I shall take your leave.

Hang on.

What?

Sweetened curd for good luck.

I know your meeting will be a success.

- Thank you. - Don't worry.

- Bye! - Bye!

Oi, buddy! Bruno! Bruno!

Oi, what's up?

Yes, I'm at home.

Vikram left just a short while ago.

He has a meeting about an IT contract.

I hope he gets it.

Hmm! I'll get ready and leave in an hour.

Bye!

Bruno!

Bruno!

Bruno?

Baby?

I hope you know what EMF stands for.

"EMF"...

Energy...

- Mode... - Look, Raj.

You've neither read about

nor seriously explored paranormal phenomena.

But he can operate a night-vision camera well.

He has taken good photos and videos, even in the dark.

See.

That's fine, but why should we include you in the IPS team?

I have something

that you both don't have.

What?

I have a case.

My cousin, Vikram Khandelwal,

is a software engineer from Delhi.

He and his wife, Disha, have been living

in a rented bungalow in Royal Palms for the past two years.

Actually, that's the problem.

Is it about their house?

No, it's about their dog.

I hope you know we're not vets.

Of course, that was our first step.

We took Bruno to the vet.

However, after all the tests and examinations,

they ruled out every disease.

They said that it was a behavioural issue.

What does that mean?

Let's go upstairs.

He sits there and stares out the window all day long.

As if he's waiting for something to come inside.

Gaurav, easy!

He won't allow anyone to open the window.

He gets violent.

Raj, how's the camera battery?

Uh, it's full.

Disha feels someone's presence in this room.

I don't just feel, I've seen it.

Oi, buddy!

Bruno!

I know, buddy.

There's something out there.

The room temperature is 26 degrees Celsius,

but when I get closer to the window, there's a sudden drop.

Be careful, Gaurav.

Gaurav... Gaurav!

The camera's battery has drained out.

It drained by 25% within a minute.

There's definitely a spirit in this room.

How could you be so sure?

There are four reasons.

The first reason is that

different parts of the room have varying temperatures.

The second reason is that

the watch is not working.

Our camera battery is draining too.

Usually, spirits

influence the energy fields,

causing the battery to run out.

Thirdly, I can feel its presence.

And the fourth and most important reason is...

The sixth sense of animals is stronger than that of humans.

This is why Bruno knew about the spirit

before you two,

and knew it much better than you.

What is this?

This is to ward off the evil eye.

I kept it here this morning.

Disha, earlier you said

that you saw something.

'- Hi, baby. - So late?'

'Actually, I had too much work today.'

'Please eat the food. I kept it on the table.'

'I'll check.'

'Bruno!'

'Bruno!'

'Disha, what's the matter?'

'Disha, what exactly happened?'

Since that night,

Bruno has been staying near that window.

Actually, Bruno saw the spirit

enter and leave through the window.

Maybe this is why

he sits near that window.

Maybe he wants to protect the two of you.

"Protect us"? From whom?

Who is the owner of this house?

Mr. Parikh.

We think your house is haunted.

They have been living comfortably in that house for the past two years

with Shrinathji's blessings.

Where did this story about a spirit spring from?

Mr. Parikh, listen.

We simply want to know

who lived in that house before Vikram and Disha moved in.

Mister, I'm not obliged to answer your question.

Four years ago,

a boy died by self-immolation

in a bungalow in Goregaon.

And you own that bungalow.

Yet you never shared this fact with us.

Why would I tell you?

If I had, would you have rented that bungalow?

At some point,

there has been a death in every bungalow in Mumbai.

You're right.

Please don't get us wrong.

We're not trying to blame you.

We just want to know more about that boy.

He was from Kolkata.

His name was Avik Ghosh, and he was a painter.

One day, his neighbour called me,

saying that they had seen smoke coming out of the house.

Which meant that there was a fire.

The police closed the case, dismissing it as a suicide.

I don't know why you're talking about spirits now.

Please stop spreading this story.

If this news leaks,

my property rates will drop.

You all have nothing to lose.

Besides, why should I listen to you?

You're right.

But if you don't try to understand it,

how will you believe it?

'Avik, my name is Gaurav Tiwari.'

'I come in peace.'

'Avik, we know you're here.'

'Please give us a signal.'

'Avik, there are two motion sensors in this room'

'that can detect your energy.'

'If you go near them like this,'

'they will start beeping like this.'

'Avik, I know you're here.'

'Please give me a signal.'

'It's getting colder.'

'He's pretentious.'

'- He's making this up. - Quiet!'

'Thank you, Avik.'

'Avik.'

'Can you activate the sensor near...'

'Believe me, boss.'

'There's something fishy here.'

'Avik, do you want to tell us something?'

'The window!'

'Avik, do you want me to open the window?'

'What's going on?'

'Vikram,'

'take him outside.'

'But why?'

'This is my house, after all!'

'Please take Bruno outside. I'm about to open the window.'

'Gaurav, be careful.'

'- Gaurav! - Gaurav!'
