[tyres screeching]

[footsteps approaching]

Guys! We better turn the torches off.

[door creaking]

Wow!

What a house, man!

[shady music playing]

Hey! He's alive. -[All] Yeah, man.

What do we do now?

Water...

Water...

Water...

[coughs] [blood crackling]

Let's get out of here, man. -Yeah, guys. Let's leave.

Guys, we aren't leaving until our job here is done.

He's going to die, man. How can you be so selfish?

Call the ambulance immediately. -You think that's safe for us?

Soon things will lead to the police and media.

We don't need the unnecessary attention.

Will you make the call or shall I?

If they show up now, they will assume we're responsible for this.

Also, they will find out we are thieves.

That doesn't mean we leave him here to die. -Satya... Karthik has a point.

We can't leave him here to die.

Decide on something. We might get caught.

Hey! I'll do exactly what I'm here for.

You can join me or forget about your share in the loot.

Satya, we will also come along. -Yeah.

Hey, you go this way.

Raghu and I will go upstairs. -Okay, man.

She's also dead. -Let's finish our job and get out of here.

[intense music playing]

[doors creaking]

Who is this?

Nah! Why do I care?

[sighing]

Did you take everything? -Yeah, I did.

Okay. Let's get out of here.

What's wrong? -He's pointing upwards.

It's nothing. Let's go. -Come on. We have to rush.

Poor man! Listen to me, guys.

Get into the car quickly, guys. -[doors open]

[doors close]

[car revving]

[waves crashing]

[ambulance siren wailing]

[ambulance siren intensifies]

Morning, sir. -Morning.

One second.

Did you inform the relatives? -Yes, sir.

How many victims? -Four, sir.

[pounding music playing]

[groans]

[thud sound] [screams]

[eerie music playing]

[lighter clicks]

This is a typical case, Balu. -What makes you say that, sir?

Looking at the way the bodies were lying down...

I feel these murders are perfectly planned.

Considering he killed so brutally, I'm sure there's a mystery behind it.

Did you collect any evidences?

We found a bag in the dead girl's house, sir. Her college ID was in it.

What else?

We also found a bus ticket. It was dated yesterday.

Which college did she go to? -KG Reddy Engineering College, sir.

So someone knew she would be coming here and followed her.

This tragedy would've occurred soon after that.

How can you be so sure, sir?

Maybe someone else entered the house later that night.

Maybe. There's a chance. Let's see.

We'll soon find out what the truth is. -Sure, sir.

But first, we need to visit her college. -Okay, sir.

'Sravya's college'

[doors open] [period bell rings]

Balu... -Sir...

[sighs] -Okay, sir.

Good morning, sir. -Hello. Good morning.

Chairman sir told me you'd be coming. -Okay.

You can go ahead with the investigation. You have our full support.

Alright then. -Thank you very much.

Hello. Do you know a girl named Sravya? -Yeah. She's one of our friends.

Is she a close friend of yours? -She was pretty close to this girl Madhu.

Oh, is it? Where is she now?

Umm... Hey, Madhu!

[intense music playing] -Just a minute.

Is that her? Okay. Thank you. -Yes, sir. That's her.

Are you Madhu? -Hmm.

Yes, sir. What is this about?

Sorry to say this.

Your best friend Sravya has been murdered.

[gasps] When was this, sir?

How did it happen?

Err... Someone murdered her last night and fled the scene.

We're here on the purpose of that investigation.

[Cop] Balu! -Sir?

[Cop] Who is she? -She's Sravya's best friend, sir.

How long have you known Sravya for? -Since the last one year, sir.

Was Sravya with you last night?

She used to live with me in the hostel, sir.

She went to her grandpa's house yesterday to visit her sister.

Why did she stay in a hostel when her grandpa lived here?

She loved to be independent, sir.

That is why she joined the hostel.

She was only close to me since she met me.

Did she have any issues, as far as you know?

No, sir. She was a quiet person.

She didn't talk to anyone much. -That's not what I meant.

Was she going through anything personal? -I mean...

Anything to do with love? -Sir!

This guy Shankar used to stalk her.

She also warned him a couple of times.

Who is he? -He's not from our college, sir.

But he'd wait outside our college for Sravya.

Is it? Where does he stay?

Can you tell us anything about him? -I can't help you with that, sir.

Okay.

[Cop] Yes!

Balu... -Sir?

I need that CCTV footage urgently.

Okay, sir.

That's him, sir.

Rewind a little. Rewind.

Yes! Print it.

[printer squeaking]

Here, sir.

We need to find him stat. Let's go.

Balu, let's move.

Umm... Did Sravya call you after she visited her grandpa?

She called me around midnight, sir. I called back but her phone was turned off.

Okay. You may leave now.

We'll get back to you if we have something.

Okay, sir. -Thank you.

Umm... Balu... -Yes, sir?

Do you have her phone details? -We didn't even find her phone, sir.

Get her IMEI number and trace its location. -Okay, sir.

Sir, which college do you think Shankar's from? -Hey, you! Stop!

I've been watching you. What are you eating?

Upma, sir.

I saw you eat it this morning. But it's still full.

I got a few refills, sir.

You idiot! Stop eating and go study. Go!

Sir, he doesn't look like he's here to study.

More like he's here to eat. -Get back to work.

Sorry, sir.

[intense music playing]

Good morning, sir. What's wrong? You look dull.

Sravya's case...

I've been trying to solve it but I've made no progress whatsoever.

We didn't find Shankar either.

We will find him, sir. You don't worry about it.

No, Balu. We missed some clue.

And I can't point my finger at it.

According to the reports, 2 people visited that house that day.

But it was only 1 guy that raped her.

Let's assume the thieves raped her and murdered her.

In that case, why would they try to save the old man lying downstairs?

Or let's assume they were murdered before the thieves broke in.

But we don't know how many people might've done it.

Or let's just assume one of the thieves committed rape.

We don't know who that might be either.

Sir, all the clues point out to Shankar for the murder.

How can you draw conclusions, Balu?

We have nothing on Shankar to prove it.

What if he's totally uninvolved?

If that was true, why is he on the run?

Maybe he's just scared we'd pin Sravya's murder on him.

You never know.

He has no reason to be scared if he didn't do it.

We're police after all. He might've feared we'll frame him for the murder.

By the way, did you get a hold of Shankar's friends?

No, sir. We're still working on it.

Aren't you ashamed to say that?

[phone buzzing]

Yes, Swathi? -Dear, our baby is still feeling sick.

I'm really worried. -Don't be. I'm coming home.

We'll consult a different doctor.

No more doctors. Our neighbor told me about this saint.

Let's pay him a visit.

How many times have I asked you not to believe in these saints?

Are you ever going to change?

Are you coming or not? -Do I have a choice?

[scoffs]

You can never get your way around with women, man. Trust me.

How would I know, sir? I'm still a bachelor.

You should know better. [laughs hysterically]

Stop laughing. Let's go.

[intense music playing]

[chanting]

[tyres screeching]

[door opens]

Balu, you stay here. -Okay, sir.

[intense music playing]

Nothing to be scared about. You can take her home.

[chanting] -Hello, Swami.

My daughter has been sick since the past 10 days.

It really got me worried, Swami.

There's no need to worried, dear.

She'll get better in a couple of days.

You may leave now. -Thank you, Swami.

Are you satisfied now? -You can mock me all you want.

But he said we don't have to worry about our daughter.

He's not in it for the money like you assumed.

He didn't even take a single penny from us. -Don't be so quick to judge.

He didn't take any money because chances are I might expose him as a fraud.

These saints manipulate people like you to loot money in the name of superstitions.

I must be foolish to think you'll trust him. Let's go.

Sir... Sir... -Hmm?

Swami wants to see you.

I wonder why. Let's go.

I'm sorry. He didn't ask to see you, ma'am.

Swami wanted to see your husband alone.

You go and sit in the car. I'll be right back.

Sit down.

There are quite a few fake saints out there like you just said.

They trick you into paying them loads.

But I have no interest in your money.

Someday, you'll definitely come looking for me.

[scoffs]

Don't believe me?

Look behind you.

What do you see? -Nothing.

Put your hand forward.

Look again.

[eerie music playing]

You will see!

That day is near!

You will be back!

You will definitely be back!

Now leave!

[chanting continues]

[waves crashing]

Bro, that chain on her neck is shining so good.

It's welcoming me.

Stop. Stop.

There are way too many people. -It's okay. I'll handle it.

Go to hell!

[singing randomly]

[grunts]

It's because of guys like you, girls like us don't feel safe anymore.

Girls like you? -What are you oggling at?

You can hit me all you want. But please don't call yourself a girl.

You're dead in my hands. Girls, hit him hard.

[screams] -How dare you say that again.

Dang it! They got him!

You're totally dead today. -[screaming]

[indistinct yelling] [groaning]

[screams] Hey!

Don't make me stab you.

Come on. I dare you. Come at me!

Give me that. [grunts]

[serene music playing]

You need to watch it.

You're bleeding heavily.

That's what I'm doing. -What?

What did you just say? -I meant it happened before I could watch.

Okay. Anyway, take care.

Thanks a lot. By the way, may I know your name?

Madhu.

[serene music continues]

So are you done hanging out with your boyfriend?

I had a lot of fun.

I'll also sleep here for the night.

Alright then. Even I'm bored to death.

I'll go get changed and be back. -Hmm.

[song playing on radio]

[grunting] -What's wrong with him?

[grunting continues]

What happened to your nose?

On that? I saw a girl a while ago. -Oh really?

How was she? -She was amazing.

So what did you do? -I just stood there standing.

And then?

A guy came there and said nothing. He beat the crap out of me.

Why? -What can I tell you? He was the girl's husband.

You're an idiot! -[laughs]

You got what you deserved.

[serene music playing]

I'll be right back.

How much for half dozen? -[Vendor] 30 rupees, ma'am.

Hi, Madhu!

You are...?

It's me! The chain snatch, my hand was cut, you gave me first aid...

Which school are you from, man? Your English is out of bounds.

Hey, it's no big deal actually.

So tell me. I remember you now. What are you doing here?

Nothing much. I was just hanging out with my friends.

So let me introduce you to my friends.

Guys!

Remember me telling you? This is Madhu.

These are my friends. Hari, Raghu and Satya.

Hi, guys!

So what do you guys do?

Imports and Exports business.

What imports and exports exactly?

Err... We buy stuff from here and export it abroad.

Seriously? Anyway, that's a lot of shopping you've done.

It's my birthday tomorrow.

Oh really? Happy birthday in advance.

Thank you. -Happy birthday. Where's the party at?

You're all invited. [mumbles] They might kill me if I don't.

Please don't mind.

My friend here is a little too excited. -[mumbles] Whatever!

Oh no! It's totally fine.

I don't have many friends here anyway.

We'll have some fun if you guys join me.

Sure. We'll definitely be there.

Guys, let's sell the gold we robbed from that house.

We're kind of broke right now.

What do you guys say?

Alright then. Let's go to our shop and sell it.

We'll make loads of money.

Let's go to our shop, man.

Madhu... -Yes?

Can you step outside once?

[Madhu] Why?

Please come. I'll tell you.

[Madhu] Okay, I'm coming.

[cheerful music playing]

Why did you want to see me, Karthik?

One minute. Yep.

Madhu, happy birthday!

Thank you so much, Mr. Karthik.

By the way, where are your friends?

Why do you mention those idiots now?

Let's talk about something else.

So what's in this? -No! Don't open it now.

Open the gift when you're alone.

Okay. Sure.

Hey, Madhu! Come here once.

Yeah, coming.

[mind voice] These girls are always off with the timing.

Alright, Karthik. See you later. Bye.

[mumbles] I can't believe I got all dressed up and rode all the way here for this.

[bike revving]

[serene music playing]

[mind voice] Is she looking?

[serene music continues]

[mind voice] So what's the gift?

[serene music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

Ma'am...

What is this about, sir? -I'm here to meet Madhu.

Madhu from? -Madhu from EEE 2nd year.

Soumya, come here.

Take sir to Madhu's room. -Follow me. I'll take you.

Okay. Thank you, ma'am. -Pleasure.

Wait right here. I'll go get her. -Okay.

[Soumya] Madhu, the police officer is here for you. -Oh. Coming.

[phone buzzing]

[Balu] Good morning, sir. -Yes, Balu?

You should come to the station urgently. -What's wrong?

Err... We have information on the Sravya case.

On the Sravya case?!

I'll be right there. [pounding music playing]

He's late.

Good morning, sir. -Hmm.

Sir, good morning. -Yeah, morning.

Why'd you call me urgently? -We found Shankar's friends.

Where are they? -We're just done smacking them.

This is them.

[chair creaks]

Where's Shankar?

We don't know, sir. -Answer me!

We're telling the truth and you're hitting us, sir.

Yes, sir. We swear. Let us go, sir. We'll head home.

Yeah, sir. He has a point. According to the law of Human Rights...

What rights, huh?

[thud sounds] What right, huh? Come again.

Hey! Don't talk all fancy, you idiot!

Sir, he was in love with a girl.

Said he wanted to get married to her.

We told him it wouldn't work out. That's all we know.

Yes, sir. What he said is right.

We all accept it. -Will you just shut up?

Sir, he's telling the truth.

Really, sir. We're innocent. Please believe us.

My back hurts, sir. Please let us go.

Balu... -Sir?

They're innocent. Let them go.

Okay, sir.

[grunting] Thank you, sir.

Hey! You got lucky this time. We'll thrash you if you repeat this.

What are you looking at, you idiot?

What, huh? Get out of here. Before I beat you up again.

What brings you here, old man?

My house was robbed last night. -Hmm.

I'm here to file a complaint. -Oh, is it?

Yeah.

Take a seat. I'll send my writer. He'll register the case for you.

Alright.

What is his picture doing here?

Uncle, do you know him?

The guy in the picture? -Yes.

I do.

His dad used to live in my street before.

Where does he live now? -He passed away recently.

We only performed his last rites.

Where's his family now?

They moved to another city.

So where's Shankar now?

He would visit them sometimes. That's all I can tell you.

[intense music playing]

[shutter clicks] [plough creaks]

To that corner.

Do it slowly. Put that aside.

Slowly. There's a body under. Watch out for it.

Hey... Stop. Stop.

Balu... -Yes, sir?

Send the body for a DNA test urgently. -Hmm.

Check if it matches with the sperm DNA we found in the girl's body.

If it does, we can confirm that Shankar raped her.

Gather those details and meet me at the station.

Sure, sir.

Yeah, move it here.

We have an important clue related to the murders committed 3 months back.

The guy who raped her that night is Shankar.

His DNA was a match.

We'll soon fill you in with other details about the case.

Sir, is he also the one who committed theft?

That's still under investigation.

We'll soon find out who committed the murder and theft.

Thank you. -[indistinct voices]

Our day's off to such a bad start.

We haven't had a single customer.

That's because you're a walking jinx.

Law doesn't spare anyone.

You will pay for your mistakes.

What is this really about? -You know about those murders, right?

It's in the paper today.

Really? Show me.

Look. It's the main headline.

Guys, remember the house we broke into that night?

We found a few dead bodies there, right?

This is the guy who did it.

Why did he kill them?

Investigation is still going on.

What does it read?

'Shankar is the prime accused in the murder case from 3 months ago.'

'Police state he raped and murder a girl named Sravya brutally.'

'Police investigation revealed there were others with the murderer that night.'

'SI Guna will be releasing other details soon.'

They will find them. That's for sure.

They can't escape. They will be caught someday.

Karthik, we need to be careful.

We thought they were done with the case. But it has come to light after so long.

Does that mean we will be caught?

It's going to be fine. We'll be safe once they find him.

We just have to be careful till then.

Ah, shit!

Look at that, guys! -What?

Guys, shall we go for it? -[All] Hmm.

[intense music playing]

[electronic music playing]

[tyres screeching]

[doors open]

What's your name, dear? Why are you crying?

My mom and dad are missing, uncle.

They're missing? -Hmm.

Balu... I guess she's missing.

Take her to the AADHAR office and have her fingerprints scanned. -Okay, sir.

Once you have her parents' details, drop her home.

Okay, sir.

Balu... -Sir?

Also have our list of accused's fingerprints scanned.

You might find the details of rest of them.

I totally forgot about it, sir.

Now change that look on your face and get back to work.

Get those details and meet me at the station. -Okay, sir.

[mumbles] He's giving me such a hard time.

[music playing on earphones]

[door creaks] -Sir!

Sir!

Sir! Sir!

Sir! -Hmm?

Why do you look so nervous, Balu? -I did what you asked me to, sir.

But this case has just gotten more complicated.

What happened?

Shankar's fingerprints were supposed to show up in the scanned ones, right?

Yes, that's right. -But they found fingerprints of some other 2 guys.

[mind voice] He doesn't even let me listen to music in peace.

Who are these two? So it wasn't 2 people who broke in that night.

It was three of them.

Sir, if Shankar raped her, what do you suppose the other two were doing?

Want me to go ask them?

Sir...

Karthik and Hari... So was it only 3 people that broke in that night?

Or were there others?

Sir, shall we send a Press note? -Why didn't you go on TV instead?

Here. You take lead.

We are yet to confirm the no. of people that broke in.

Let's inform Press once we're sure. Okay?

So what do you want me to do now, sir?

First find out who they are and what they do.

Okay, sir.

Hold on! Where are you going to look for them?

I was thinking... -You have their house address, right?

Start from there. -Sir.

Here.

[waves crashing]

[whistling]

Come on.

[sighs] -Go back a little.

To your left.

Sorry.

I'm sorry. -It's okay.

[whistles] Let's go!

[phone buzzing] [singing randomly]

[Madhu] Hello, Karthik... -Yeah, Madhu. What's up?

What are you up to? -Hey! Move aside.

I was just helping an auntie carry her stuff.

You're really into this social service thing, huh?

Helping others out sometimes doesn't hurt, right?

Umm... Why'd you call me suddenly?

Can you meet, that is if you're free?

Actually Madhu, I have a really busy schedule. But for you...

Aright then. We can meet later. -Madhu... Madhu...

I was just kidding. I'm coming. Let me know where.

Be at Central Mall in an hour.

[Karthik] See you there.

[bike engine rattling]

Bro! That's one smoking hot chick.

She's like a bowl of fruit.

I want two oranges.

Guys, leave the pulp to me.

I have dibs on the strawberry.

So do you have door delivery option or do we have to visit the store?

My friend here wants something. Give it to him.

[thud sound] [grunts]

Forget him. I want all of it.

I wouldn't mind borrowing money to pay you.

Hey! -Please! No!

[honking]

[all gasping]

[upbeat music playing]

Whoa! You're going to fight us? -Yeah! Any doubts?

[thud sound] [groans]

Hey! How dare you? -Hold on, guys!

[thud sounds continue] [groaning]

He just got his order via door delivery.

Let me know what everyone else wants. I'll deliver it.

Hey! -What's with the 'Hey!'?

Trying to hit me? You want the pulp, huh?

You idiot! The pulp? Seriously?

Do you guys work at a fruit stall? Huh?

Hey! [thud sounds continue]

I was really feeling it when I came here. But you guys ruined it.

You spoiled my mood.

I'm going to smack each and everyone of you.

[crickets chirping continues]

Karthik... It's Hari.

Where did he go?

What's wrong, man?

I stepped out when I heard the dogs bark.

I looked down and there was nothing. Then I turned around and I saw a ghost.

He's really high, guys.

Let's go back to bed.

No, guys. Believe me. -Come on, man!

He disturbed our sleep.

[eerie music playing]

Wow! I was just thinking of her.

Hello... -Karthik...

Hmm?

Karthik, I have to talk to you.

Wait for 3 minutes. I'll call you back in 2.

Any problem? -No problem.

[bike revving]

Madhu, come out.

Why? -Come out and I'll tell you.

Alright.

What's with the sudden surprise?

I knew it was important when you called.

I need to tell you something.

I should've told you yesterday itself. But then there was that fight.

Why do you bring that up now?

Quickly tell me what you wanted to.

I love you!

♫I surrender my life to you♫

♫I can't stop thinking of you even for a second♫

♫I feel like I can't breathe when I don't look at you♫

♫Like a pearl showered with milk♫

♫Like a bird flying with elegance♫

♫Like a sculpture touched with honey♫

♫Come to me like the spring♫

Do you have to go?

Daddy asked me to come urgently.

I'll be back in 3 days.

Psst! Why don't you say something?

I'll go home, tell dad about us and convince him.

Okay? -What if he doesn't agree?

In that case, be ready. You'd have to come sweep me off my feet.

Alright then. It's time. I have to go.

Hmm. Okay.

[romantic music playing]

I love you!

Love you!

Have a safe journey, okay?

[door opens]

[door shuts] [song playing on desktop]

Sir...

Sir...! -What is it, man?

There are two other suspects excluding Karthik and Hari.

Their names are Satya and Raghu. They're a bunch of thieves.

Are they in any way related to Shankar?

According to our sources, they have nothing to do with this.

So, they must've entered the crime scene after Shankar raped her.

But we need to find out if Shankar did it alone or if he had some help.

What shall we do about the thieves, sir?

[sarcastically] Feed them well.

What else will you do? Keep them under observation.

Okay, sir.

And I totally forgot. Also keep Madhu under observation.

Err... She's not in town, sir.

We dropped by her hostel. They told us she went home.

She's out of town?

Alright. Keep an eye on these guys. Let's close this case soon.

Okay, sir.

'Karthik, just listen to me.'

'My parents found out about us.'

'They fixed an alliance for me.'

'I'll come to my grandpa's house this evening somehow.'

'Come there and take me with you.'

[Mother] 'Hey, Madhu! Who are you talking to?'

'Karthik, I don't have the time to explain.'

'We'll talk about everything when you're here.'

'Karthik, I can't live without you.'

You've been here for an hour. Tell me what happened.

Madhu's parents fixed an alliance for her.

She wants to come back to me.

We should go and get her.

What happened all of a sudden?

Only if I knew.

She said she'll come to her grandpa's this evening. -Then let's go and get her.

Okay. But how?

We'll have 2 cars at the hostel. If we miss her, we'll have 3 at the college.

If we miss her there as well, we'll have 4 cars at her grandpa's.

[thud sound] -[grunts]

[phone beeps]

Guys, I have the address.

Alright then. Let's go. -Not right away.

She asked me to come at 9 tonight.

[suspenseful music playing]

Alright then. Send me the location. I'll be there.

Where are you headed?

I need to get my car fixed. You guys catch a cab. I'll meet you there.

Okay. I'll forward the address. -Done.

[traffic noises]

Balu! Start the car quickly.

[intense music playing]

Sir, he's alone. Where do you think he's going?

[sarcastically] Pull over. I'll ask him.

Sorry, sir. -Just drive.

[thunder rumbling]

[fox howling]

Bro, I guess it's the same house.

Madhu said her grandpa shifted here recently.

Bro, we committed theft in the same house a while ago.

We're at the same house again to pick up your girlfriend.

This house is really lucky for you.

Dude, call Madhu and ask her where she is. -Okay. Give me a second.

[crickets chirping]

[dialling]

[phone ringing]

Hello, Madhu... -Yeah.

We're outside your house.

I'm packing my bag in the bedroom upstairs.

You guys come in. -Hmm.

Hey! Grandpa is sleeping downstairs. Watch out.

There's a power cut as well.

Oh. Okay.

We're coming in.

Guys, there's a power cut.

Even God is cooperating with us. Let's go inside.

Come on, guys!

Raghu, did you get the torches? -Of course, I did.

[thunder rumbling]

[tyres screeching]

[door opens]

[panting] Swami! -What happened?

[conversation muted by music]

[squealing]

You made a really huge mistake a while ago.

Your mistake is going to bring you down.

You're planning on visiting a house right now.

But I advise none of you set foot in there.

If you do...

It's impossible for you to step out.

[door creaks]

[intense music playing]

[door creaks]

Bro, they're sleeping.

Hey, be quiet.

Hush!

[footsteps receding]

You have to save your friends.

Don't let any of them enter the house.

Go quickly. -Okay, sir.

Remember!

If any of you enter that house, you won't make it through the night.

Go!

[chanting]

[door creaking]

Madhu...

Who is this?

Hey...

I've seen him somewhere before. -Umm...

Psst! Remember the guy from the news article?

Yes. That's him.

Let's wake him up and find out what he's doing here.

Wake up, man! Hey!

Wake up! -Err... Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Please don't hurt me.

Please don't hurt me. Don't kill me. -Hey! Who are you, man?

What are you doing here? How did you even get in?

[creepy laughs]

That was creepy! Let's get out of here, guys.

[pouring heavily]

[dramatic music playing]

'The number you're calling right now is unavailable.'

'The number you're calling right now is out of coverage area.'

[creepy laughs]

[pounding music playing] [gasping]

[door creaks]

[pouring heavily]

Karthik! Open the door.

Satya, Raghu... Open the door if you're home.

Karthik!

[dialling]

'The number you're calling right now...' -Ah, damn it!

Karthik, open the door. Satya, come on!

[grunting] [door rattling]

[thud sound] [screams]

[door slams] [dramatic music playing]

'Remember!'

'If any of you enter that house, you won't make it through the night.'

[door creaking]

'The number you're calling is not reachable. Please call again later.'

[door shuts]

[door slams]

[pouring heavily]

[footsteps receding]

[door knock]

He called the Swami?

Open the door, guys!

SI sir is here. Open the door!

[thunder rumbling]

Balu, come fast! -Coming, sir.

No one's answering that door, sir.

Start the car quickly. -Okay, sir.

[eerie music playing]

[panting]

Hey, open this. [metal creaking]

[metal thud sound]

Damn, why isn't it breaking?

Come on, guys. -Sravya will kill us, bro.

We can't get out of here. Please save me.

Ugh! We have no idea what's going on here.

How do you think we can save you, idiot? -You have to save me somehow, bro.

Bro... Please, bro...

[thunder rumbling]

[bird squealing]

[glass shatters] [all gasping]

[thunder rumbling]

[dramatic music playing]

She will definitely kill me. I'm sure.

None of us are going to make it. We're all going to die.

Hey! Who's Sravya?

How do you know her? Why would she kill us?

[crying] -Tell us what happened.

[grunting]

[crying continues]

I saw Sravya for the first time at my friend's college.

[jeep revving]

That's him.

[groans]

Give me that stick.

[intense music playing]

Man, who is she?

Give me 5 minutes, bro. I'll find out and come.

[dramatic music playing]

She's mine after this moment.

I'll kill anyone who even looks at her.

I'll also kill anyone she looks at.

♫Your beauty kills me with rage♫

♫Your beauty makes me pounce on to you♫

♫This youth tempts me beyond resistance♫

♫It's like a desire that chokes you♫

♫This heart of mine is craving for you♫

♫This fantasy of mine is blasting every nerve in my body♫

♫Fire...!♫

♫All over me!♫

[laughs] -Sravya...

I love you. Let's get married.

Listen. We're not right for each other.

I'm not at all interested in love.

My parents don't support any of this.

And I don't do anything they wouldn't approve.

Please leave me alone. My career is more important to me.

So don't follow me anymore and waste your time.

♫Even a million tides can't put this fire off♫

♫My body is burning from the intoxication♫

♫You've given me this madness that takes over like a cyclone♫

♫I feel like a zillion knives stabbing me when I look at you♫

♫Fire...!♫

♫Fire...!♫

♫Fire...!♫

♫All over me!♫

♫The lust in my heart is setting me on flames♫

♫It's burning me alive♫

♫It's squashing me like it's time for payback♫

♫There's fire within me!♫

Sravya, I need to talk to you.

Sravya, this is enough. I've waited for so long.

Say you love me and I have a party to throw for my friends.

Look.

They're waiting for you to say yes.

So quickly say you love me.

Look. I've already told you I hate all this.

Please leave me alone!

Why are you showing off just because I'm being nice?

Shut the hell up and accept my love.

Psst!

Hey, you!

Will you accept my love or not?

Hey, Mister! Why are you troubling her?

Shall I call the police?

Don't try to be a hero in front of my lover, you rascal!

Hey! -[thud sounds]

Who the hell is he, Sravya? Trying to come in between us.

Are you out of your mind? You call yourself human?

Now listen to this loud and clear. I will never love you.

I will never get married to you.

Do whatever the hell you want.

[dramatic music playing]

Ravi, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?

[lighter clicks]

Shall we start, bro? -Do something.

[sarcastically] Go straight and take left.

There's a cattle shed ahead. Buy some milk.

Get us some milk and pour it.

Let's all drink it together. Okay?

Just pour the liquor, man! What are you waiting for?

Cheers!

[grunts] Just let it go, man. Love is not something for us.

[scoffs] Ravi might have come late into the picture but he has already flattered her.

This guy here has been bragging about her but hasn't landed her yet.

I thought he's the leader of our gang.

But now... He's the loser of our gang.

Compared to him, I'm so much better, you know.

[laughs]

Oh shit!

How dare she slap you in front of everyone?

He didn't even respond like some coward.

If it were me, I would've killed her or taken my own life.

-Really?

Forget about all that.

He said she's his girl and he'd kill anyone who comes in the way.

Making it pretty clear to the entire college.

But now the whole college knows she's having fun with Ravi.

[laughs]

Why is he drinking it raw?

What's wrong with him, guys? -You wait here, man. We'll go get drinks.

[exhaling deeply]

[intense music playing]

[sniffing]

[laughs] -[thud sound]

[dramatic music playing]

[door knock]

[door creaking]

Who are you, uncle? Whom would you like to meet?

[Grandpa] Bhargavi, who is it at the door?

Who are you talking to?

Who are you, son? What are you doing here?

Who are you looking for? -Sravya!

I want you to get Sravya married to me! -Are you insane?

I want you out of here right now. I'll call the police otherwise.

Hey, old man. Don't yell like that.

I've already lost it.

Sravya and I are in love.

You can ask her if you want. She's just too afraid to tell you.

Sravya! Sravya!

[gasps]

Shankar?! What are you doing here? -Sravya...

Shankar, what's going on? Why are you here?

Didn't I tell you I don't like you?

What are you doing at my place? Leave!

Is this how you treat the son-in-law, Sravya?

Sravya! Is this what I've sent you to college for?

Did he happen to come home without you leading him on?

You'd have to quit college if your dad finds out.

You've been a disgrace to our family.

[crying] Grandpa, I'm innocent. I haven't done anything to provoke him.

Please trust me.

[crying] Grandma, at least you tell him.

Hey! Come, let's go!

Let her go! Hey, you! Leave her alone!

[melancholic music playing]

Let me go! Leave me! -Let her go! [thud sound]

[glass shatters] [groans]

[gasping]

[dramatic music playing]

Dear... Oh dear... -Grandpa...

What's wrong with this old man, Sravya? He was yelling at you only.

That is why I killed him. You don't cry. Come with me.

Come with me. -Dear, run upstairs!

[crying] [panting]

Sravya! -Get lost!

[grunts] [door shuts]

[thud sound] [crying]

You bastard! Leave her alone. -Sravya, run!

Leave her alone! Hey!

[thud sounds] [groaning]

Grandma... -Bhargavi, come here.

Let's run upstairs.

Stop! I said stop!

[thud sound] [groans]

Sravya, wait! -Uncle, please... Leave her.

Sravya...! -Please leave her, uncle. Please!

[thud sound] [kid screaming]

[panting]

Sravya... Sravya...

Sravya!

[door rattling] [screaming]

[gasping]

[grunting]

Hey, why are you crying, Sravya?

I got rid of everyone that was coming in the way of us.

We can totally be in love now. Come to me.

Come on, Sravya! Come and give me a hug.

I said come to me!

I'll kill myself if you come any closer.

Oh no! I'm here for you and you want to die.

Come on. Let's get married. -[crying]

Hey! Are you looking for a phone? You want to call the police, huh?

If they show up, they will separate the two of us.

And I can't live without you.

But you want to get me arrested. -[crying]

I want you to be mine.

Mine only!

Got it?

I know how to set you straight.

Come on! -Ah! Leave me!

[crying]

Sravya, come on!

Hey! Come on! [grunting]

[squealing]

Don't scream!

[thud sound] [screams]

[thunder rumbling]

[dramatic music playing]

Who are you calling, huh?

[thud sound] -[groans]

Sravya... Sravya...

[gasps]

God! Oh shit!

Sravya... Sravya... Sravya...

[bulb buzzing] Sravya, get up!

[Shankar] 'I was clueless when Sravya died.'

'Then I saw you guys break and enter.'

'I went out before you noticed and waited there.'

[door creaking] [door shuts]

[door creaks and opens]

'I saw you rush out of the house after a while.'

[car revving]

'When I went back in, I realized...'

'I realized you guys were thieves.'

'And I wanted to take advantage of that.'

'I trailed away from the police and followed you everywhere you went.'

I tried to frame you for the murders, knowing you were coming here.

But then I saw Sravya.

I don't know what happened next. Up until you guys showed up.

[thunder rumbling]

[mind voice] Where's Madhu anyway?

Did we come to the right address?

I don't get it.

[thunder rumbling continues]

Where am I?

[thunder rumbling]

Where's my phone?

Uff!

[gasps] [glass shatters]

[horse toy creaking]

Why can't I open the door? What do I do now?

[squeals] Boom!

[panting]

[Little girl] 'Uncle...!'

[thunder rumbling]

[Little kid] 'Boom!' -[screams]

[door knock]

Open the door! [panting]

[door knock]

Open the door! Please open the door!

Somebody please open the door!

Open the door! Please open the door!

Somebody please open the door! Open the door!

That was Madhu's voice. So Madhu is here. Let's go.

That's Sravya. She's trapping us.

What are you saying? What if something happened to Madhu?

We should get to her before it's too late.

Let's go, man. -Bro, please don't leave me behind.

Hey! What's with your nuisance? Raghu, you stay with him.

What are you oggling at? Sit down!

[crying] -Hey! You're right. It's Madhu.

Look.

[footsteps approaching]

[panting] Who are you guys?

Don't hurt me. I'll give you how much ever money you want.

Don't worry, Madhu. It's me. Karthik.

Look. Satya is also here. -It's you guys?!

What are you guys doing here? And who brought me here?

Did you kidnap me for money?

Please! I'll give you all the money you want. Let me go.

Please! -What the hell! Has she lost her mind?

What are you talking about, Madhu? You only asked us to come here.

What makes you think we kidnapped you? -When did I ask you to come here?

Why would I call you here? What have I got to do with it?

You guys only brought me here.

But now you're blaming me.

First get me out of here.

Are you kidding, Madhu?

You only told me your parents fixed your alliance.

You said you can't imagine marrying anyone else and asked me to come get you.

Why are you acting clueless now? Do I look like a fool to you?

Why would I want to marry you?

We have nothing to do with each other.

I talked to you a few times out of courtesy.

That doesn't mean I'd want to marry you.

If I knew your true colors before, I wouldn't have even looked at you.

We were in love, Madhu. Don't you remember anything?

When was I ever in love with you?

You planned this whole thing and now you're blaming me?!

Get me out of here urgently.

[Raghu] Karthik! -[gasps]

Hey!

[suspenseful music playing]

[knife swishing] [ghost squealing]

[evil laugh]

[thunder rumbling]

[footsteps approaching]

[thud sounds]

[gasping] -Guys! Let's get out of here.

[suspenseful music playing]

[door rattling]

[pouring]

[tyres screeching]

[door shuts]

[conversation muted by music]

[footsteps approaching] [panting]

How come we're ending up in the same room wherever we go?

What's going on here? I don't get it.

Please take me home.

I'm really scared. -We're as boggled as you are. Shut up for some time.

We're all here tonight because of you.

What have I done now?

Why is everyone blaming me?

You only asked us to come here. Now you're acting like you don't know.

Raghu, don't say that.

Come on, bro. You know she's the reason we're here.

Listen. Tell us where the house keys are. We can head home happily.

[thud sound] -[screams]

Why did she hit me, bro?

Is she out of her mind?

Don't you get it, you fool?

She doesn't remember anything. -Is that right?

[intense music playing]

♫You caressed me like a naughty dream♫

♫You fondled me like a riding wave♫

♫And here's how my love for you blossoms♫

♫You have introduced love into my life♫

♫You reach out to me like a symphony♫

♫I seem to forget everything I've ever known♫

♫Maybe it's the charm of calling out your name♫

♫It feels magical to drench in the rain with you♫

♫I wish I could show you how I feel about you♫

♫I feel like I'm a part of you, watching you from beyond♫

[dramatic music playing]

Madhu...

It was when I gifted you this chain that you said you love me♫

Take a look.

[sighs]

You gifted me this chain?!

This is Sravya's chain.

How did you get hold of this?

Sravya?!

How can you tell this is Sravya's?

How do you even know her?

Tell me, Madhu.

Sravya and I were best friends.

Hey, baby... -Huh?

Come here, sweetheart.

What's your name? -Sravya, sir.

Just Sravya? No second name?

Whatever. So, do you stay alone or with someone?

Answer him, dear. He's happy to deliver newspaper and milk in the morning.

Ouch!

Want me to keep you company?

Anytime available!

Why? Are you going to be her security guard?

Will you just shut up?

[sarcastic smile]

His price to shut up was 100 bucks. What's yours?

[thud sound] Don't make me kill you. You call yourself a college student?

How could you talk to someone like that?

Let's go.

Are you happy now? Idiot!

Let's go. Come on!

Thanks a lot, ma'am.

Ma'am? Seriously? My name is Madhu.

Just call me Madhu.

I'm Sravya.

[Madhu] 'That's how we became friends.'

'We would always hang out together.'

'We requested the hostel warden and shifted to the same room.'

'Sravya is really sensitive.'

'She slowly started depending on me for everything.'

[peppy music playing]

Madhu... I have something to tell you.

Tell me. What is it?

A guy has been harassing me recently.

Who is he? What's his name?

Shankar.

Which branch? -He's not from our college.

Shall we complain to the Principal? -Uh-huh. No.

We'll do something if things get serious.

Madhu, will you be with me lifelong?

I'm not going anywhere. You know that.

And then, one day...

What's wrong?

Shankar hit him. -Let's go complain to the police.

No. My parents will create an issue if they find out.

You should take Ravi to the hospital first. -Hmm.

I'm visiting my grandpa. My sister is in town.

So if you don't mind, can you please take Ravi?

Please... -Sure.

Hmm.

That's when she visited her grandpa.

Police came to me the next day and told me Sravya was murdered.

I didn't even know what happened.

Where did you find this chain anyway?

[evil laugh]

Dang it! She's here.

I can't hide anymore. Ask her what she wants.

Let's get this over with.

Bah! She's such a nuisance!

[Madhu gasping] -Let's go, guys!

[suspenseful music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[pouring heavily]

Satya! You're responsible for this!

We would've been safe if you hadn't done that the other day.

What the hell! -Hey, Raghu!

What the hell are you talking about?

What happened? -Hey!

Shankar didn't kill Sravya.

Satya did.

Damn! What the hell are you saying?

Tell me what happened. -That day...

[electronic music playing]

What are you looking at? -Man, look here.

[gasps] -[mumbles] Help me.

Help me...

[grunting]

She's dead, man.

[grunts]

What have you done?

If Karthik found out she was alive, he would compel us to save her.

That is why I killed her.

I'll give you extra share if you're mum about it.

I'll kill you otherwise. Got it?

Now let's go.

That is why I didn't tell anyone. But he's the reason we're here today.

You killed her for no reason. How could you get yourself to do it?

When did you turn into this cruel version of yourself?

You were supposed to save her. Why'd you do otherwise?

Yes! I killed her! So what?

We had lots of fun with that money because I killed her.

Why? Didn't you benefit from it?

You're selling the gold anyway. Give me a chain from that bag.

Now you're acting like it's my fault.

Anyway, I don't want to justify myself.

You killed a girl. You owe me an explanation.

[thud sounds]

[thud sounds continue] [grunting]

[wood creaks] [groans]

Hey!

[squeals] [metal thud sounds]

What's your problem, man? Yes! I admit I killed her.

What the hell is she going to do? Call her!

Call her! Come on!

Let me see what she can do. That ghost doesn't scare me.

Come on! Show yourself. Where are you hiding, huh?

[swishing sound] -[grunts]

[evil laugh]

[muscles cracking]

[tyres screeching]

[door opens] [pouring heavily]

[sighs]

Swaroopa, prep for the ritual. -Okay, Swami.

[chanting]

Come with me, Madhu.

I can't live here.

If you're with me, I don't have to be afraid of anything.

Come with me, Madhu.

[moaning]

Sravya, you're making a mistake.

Madhu was always good to you.

But you're asking for her life.

[grunts] -[groans]

If you want to take her, you'd have to take my life first.

[grunts] [thud sound]

[chanting]

[fire blazing]

Madhu, do you remember?

You said you'd be with me forever.

Come with me. Let's be together.

Come with me, Madhu!

[chanting]

[swishing sound]

[door creaking]

[door rattling] [gasps]

Madhu, take my word and come with me.

[moaning]

[sighs]

[moaning continues]

[screaming]

Swaroopa... -Swami?

[glass clinking] [chanting]

Swaroopa... -Swami?

Take this to the sea, dump it in and return without turning around.

Sure, Swami.

You have nothing to be worried about.

[chanting continues]

[cars revving]

[melancholic music playing]

Sir, this is all good.

But I don't get when Sravya possessed Madhu.

When you went looking for Shankar's friends, I headed to Madhu's hostel.

I waited outside her room.

She didn't come out for a long while.

[eerie music playing]

She pretended to be in love with Karthik through Madhu's body.

She trapped them and lured them to this house.

She sought her revenge.

[brakes squeaking]

Thank you, sir. Bye.

Thank you.

[melancholic music playing]

[serene music playing]

[waves crashing]

[chanting]

[serene music playing]

The bottle Swarupananda dumped in the sea floated ashore.

Okay, sir.

The very next day, a guy jogging at the shore bumped into it.

Ah?! [glass clinks]

[eerie music playing]

Sir, this looks like the bottle from our movie.

True that.
