2 SOME THOUSAND YEARS AGO

Ah, Grandma! How have you been?

Yes, dear.

So then, where are your husband and child?

They are by the woods.

- Oh! - Why not fill your belly and then go?

Nay, I must be going. I shall visit again later.

- Very well, then. - Farewell for now.

How am I to draw properly with you distracting me?

Must you bother me while I am drawing?

Has your art ever known imperfection?

Come on, now!

- Pathara... - What troubles you now?

Ah, nothing.

Should fate bless us with a daughter,

she shall be as beautiful as the girl in your drawing.

Yet my heart says it will be a boy.

No, our bloodline is always blessed with a girl child first.

Be it a boy or a girl,

all I wish for is a healthy child.

If the child bears a flaw, would your heart reject it?

Why such words, Pathara?

Why do you fear our child will be flawed?

Even then, it would still be our flesh and blood.

That is enough for today.

Come, let your weary hands rest.

Careful.

Pathara?

What is happening to you?

Pathara, is the pain too much to bear?

I cannot bear this agony anymore. Go fetch Grandma at once.

Do not fear. Stay safe. I am going to bring Grandma.

Hold on a little while longer.

Hush, now. I am right here.

Fear not, child. Everything will be well.

Breathe deeply, child!

Arip, bring me that rope.

Tie it firm.

Grip this tightly. Fear nothing.

Arip, fetch some water.

Grandma, take this.

God, please take away her pain!

You mad old woman! Why would you throw my baby down?

End its life. That is not a human child.

Did you not hear me? Kill it at once!

Can't believe he's late even today.

Hi.

Your loss.

Did he argue with his wife again?

Why’s he at the shop this early?

Oh, no. I’m late today!

Okay, time to fake some hard work.

♪ Like a top with no string ♪

Hey, what are you doing?

Give me a hand.

My hands are aching!

Boys, is this any time to show up for work?

- What took you so long? - We had to drag this all the way here.

You fool!

Magi, the machine bracket’s stuck. Can you take a look?

Hey.

Now hit the button. It should start working.

I need to get it done. All the other tenants moved out.

I'd love it if you vacated soon.

Magi, the machine isn't working. Can you check?

- Hold on, I’ll take a look. - Not here. Check over there!

I will, man!

Your uncle works really hard for his business.

Check it before it gets worse.

Poor guy's struggling.

Come inside.

He works here. I sent him to clean the machine.

Ten thousand rupees?

An urgent order…

It’s an obituary poster order. They need it urgently.

- Magi! - Uncle?

Found a place nearby. Let’s go check.

You'll never find a place like this in this area!

The place got booked this morning. I forgot to inform you.

- Well? - Sorry, bro.

The place just got rented out.

To another one we go!

No matter where we go,

you’re always searching for cute neighbors first.

Bless us all, dear Goddess!

Today’s a holiday. Let's enjoy ourselves!

Welcome, sir.

- I need to print out something. - The shop’s closed today.

Quiet, you burnt dumpling!

Who's this, sir?

He's my son.

It’s been seven years since he went missing.

There’s still no sign of him.

Hey.

I see a 'To-Let' board there. Go, ask them.

Yes, tell me.

Saw this place was on rent. That’s why we stopped to ask.

Didn’t I make it clear yesterday? No bachelor tenants!

What’s your problem? I’ll call the cops!

Rogues!

You asked them already?

You dare swear at me?

Now anyone can pee here!

Every vacant room's in demand now!

Dude, we just can’t find a decent place!

Hey, Magi. Busy as always, huh?

You're ignoring my calls?

Everyone else has moved out except you.

I have to begin construction here. You’ve got one week to vacate.

- Okay, sir. - Yeah, right.

He only makes excuses but doesn't vacate.

I'm coming.

- Sir, any rooms with a rent of 5,000? - That’s not possible.

Bro, it’s 10,000 in rent and a 50,000 advance.

Ten thousand?

You seriously expect to find a place for less than that?

- When can I visit the place? - Call after the 3rd.

- It’s only for me, sir. - No. Someone already rented it.

What the hell? Why didn’t you mention it?

The ink’s loaded. Switch on the machine.

Got it.

[phone rings]

Why won’t he stop pestering me?

- Yes, sir. - Magi, when will you move out?

Wasn’t one week enough time?

- You've stalled this for months! - Sir, I even checked a place yesterday.

I don't care what you do.

That’s not my concern. Be out in two days.

I'll move out in two days, sir.

You heard me?

I said I'll vacate in two days. Stop nagging already.

Just cut the call. Such a pest!

[phone rings]

- What now? - Why’re you yelling at me?

He’s pestering me nonstop to vacate!

Seriously, what’s his issue?

Didn’t you promise to vacate next week?

No, dude. I’m moving out right away.

Ask your friends if they have a room.

At this rate, I might as well live in the shop!

- I'll ask them. - Hang up.

He cut the call?

[phone rings]

- Hello? - Hello?

Yes, tell me.

Are you looking for a shared room?

Yes, ma’am.

What’s the rent? And where’s the place?

It’s a duplex apartment near Oragadam.

One room’s up for rent. The monthly rent is 5,000.

Okay, ma’am. How many male tenants live there?

Boys?

Sir, there are no boys.

It's just me.

Oh.

O- Okay, ma'am.

Then… you’re the only one living there?

Yes. Why?

Ma’am, I need a place for myself.

I know.

Oh, okay. When can I come to see?

The room’s vacant. Feel free to check it out today.

Okay, ma'am. I'll come today.

Also, another guy named Krishna called earlier.

First come, first served. Hope you understand.

Oh, I’m already on my way, ma’am! I’ll be there soon!

Okay. Okay.

- I'll share the location. - Sure, ma'am.

Finally!

- Hi. - Krishna?

No, ma'am. I'm Magi.

We spoke a while ago.

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Come inside.

This is the hall.

And that's the kitchen.

There are rooms upstairs, too.

And this is your room.

I forgot to show you the balcony.

Come on.

Ma'am, the view is out of this world!

It looks a lot like my old room.

So?

When are you planning to shift?

Ma'am, I've already shifted in!

Okay, go freshen up.

- Hey, hi. - Hi, ma'am.

Come. Sit.

So?

You still haven’t told me where you work.

I work nearby…

…at an IT park.

Oh, an IT park.

- Hello? - Dude!

Where are you? I found a room nearby.

Just like yours.

Comes with a cupboard... and unlimited stargazing at night!

No, sir. I've already shifted.

- I'll call you back, sir. - Sir?

- It's me! Not the house owner! - Thank you.

Okay, ma'am. I'll go around and…

Why?

No, I need to buy dinner.

I've ordered food. For both of us.

Oh, really?

You’re not going to ask what I ordered?

Does she even know-- Pizza?

Correct!

One minute.

Thank you, ma'am.

Okay. Good night.

Good night, ma'am.

Don't call me 'ma'am.'

Call me by my name.

You didn't tell me your name.

Sindhu.

Coffee?

Thank you.

Where's your office?

It’s close by. Near the railway gate…

next to that government hospital.

Oh.

When does your shift end?

It's a software company.

My shift ends around 6:30.

And I'll be home by 7.

Oh.

Okay.

It’s an office call.

I’ll be back soon.

- Bye. - Bye.

498, 499, 500…

- A thousand! - Huh?

I was counting the posters here. What are you on about?

I was wondering if you could give me a 1,000 rupees.

So you can fool me and get another 1,000?

Get back to work.

Uncle?

I know you saw me enter.

Can't you see me?

He was talking to you.

Can you help me with 10,000 rupees?

He yelled at me for asking for money.

He'll do the same to you.

Uncle, did you hear me?

What for?

To buy clothes, of course!

My business is falling apart, and you want new clothes?

Shut up!

Why so much, though? Two thousand's more than enough.

You wouldn't understand.

I want the money. Will you give it to me or not?!

How can I, in front of him?

I'm sure you'd give it to him if I weren't here.

I'll think about it.

- For another five years? - Okay, Uncle.

I meant to tell you that

not him. He's my nephew!

Noticed how unusual he's been acting?

Give me a minute. I'll find out what's happening.

Who, you?

You do nothing, and you're worried about him?

He'll say anything just to take a tea break.

You easily found a room,

and you're this happy?

Easily found a room, huh?

Take a look.

I asked you for pictures of your room, not a five-star hotel!

- That is my room, idiot. - Wait, what?

Excited already?

Just wait till you meet my owner!

Why would I?

Because it's a her, not a him.

What do you mean?

I'm still confused, man.

Imagine. A handsome guy like me…

We know you aren't. So, get to the point.

Such an angry bird.

…and the prettiest woman, almost living together.

In the same flat, with rooms side by side.

How exciting would that be?

Envious, rather.

Of course! You should be.

I mean, it's nice to believe so.

But promise me this.

Can't risk a promise on this.

Now get lost, man. Get lost!

Excuse me? My phone, please.

- Thank you. - He's getting good at his insults.

He gets 10,000 for clothes, a new room that's like a hotel…

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Why? Is it that bad?

It's fabulous!

Give me your hand, please.

It's marvelous!

You did a wonderful job!

- Thank you! - Gosh, the hands that drew this…

I just want to carry you…

Excuse me? Carry me? And...?

Uh, carry you and put you on a golden chariot!

It's perfect!

Uh, just that… It's missing a few birds in the air.

Is that so?

You paint them, then.

Well, I'm terrible at it.

Just try.

I'll fix any mistakes.

Okay.

That won't be necessary. Thank you.

Are those the birds?

Well, crows are birds, right?

[phone ringing]

It's from work. I'll be right back.

- Yes, sir? - Sir?

Are you at home?

I can't hear you, sir.

But sir, I just got back from work.

- From work? - Yes, sir.

Why are you calling me sir? It's me, your uncle!

- Don't mess with me! - I know it's you.

We've received an order. So, get here quick.

When is it due?

They want it tonight.

Then I'll see you in the morning.

Was that a yes or a no? Say something!

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Um, no, sir.

Not an issue, sir.

Sure, sir.

I'll call you back.

Hey! Wait a min--

I'll call you, sir.

- Why's he being weird? - Owner, I'm going for tea.

All right, go.

Why's he taking that to the tea stall?

Don't tell me he's selling that off. Hey, hey!

Tell me!

I'm asking you!

He's my grandfather.

- Your what? - He’s a little weird, that’s all.

Hope you’re okay with it.

This is why I didn't talk about him earlier.

Otherwise no one would move in

despite the cheap rent.

You still shouldn't have hidden this from me.

He's pretty old.

He's helped me a lot.

Anyway…

Are you that scared? You screamed so loud.

What was I supposed to do?

Laugh when they creep up from behind?

Alright, alright.

Anyway, I'm going out to buy us some dinner.

- I already ordered. - You did?

When?

Just now.

Oh.

The food's here.

I'll be so mad if it's that pizza again.

- Thank you, ma'am. - Hmm.

I wish she'd ordered biryani instead.

- Magi, hope you like biryani. - Huh?

Yeah… I don't mind.

Come, let's eat.

- Magi-- - Sindhu.

You don't have any friends around?

No.

What about your parents?

What's wrong?

I, uh… didn't mean to offend you.

I'm sorry, Sindhu.

It's okay.

I always want to forget that day.

I think Mom would've loved me if she knew me.

You think?

I don't get what you mean, Sindhu.

I haven't seen her in years.

Even if she's far away,

I know…

…she loves me.

I hope that someday,

not too far away,

she'll come in search of me.

Why don't you be the first

to search for her since you miss her?

Also…

Where does she live?

I don't know.

It's my fate.

Maybe I was born so ugly…

that my father…

…threw me away.

After that…

I was brought up

by my grandfather.

Oh, please.

What do you mean?

Don't lie to me.

I'm serious.

Everyone describes angels differently.

But they don’t know what it’s like to see one.

That too, this close.

You just need a pair of wings.

Not bad!

What is?

The lies you just told.

Like I'm an angel.

Who's that for?

My grandfather, of course.

Want to come?

No, thanks.

You continue.

That idiot keeps adding to the expenses.

And Magi isn't here yet…

Wasn't he dead last week?

- Hello, Magi. - Well, hello there.

Wait a minute.

Did you see the time?

Don't just stare.

Look at how late you turned up!

You called me 'sir' a zillion times on the call.

Answer me.

You'll know how it feels when you own a shop.

We won't have ours if we don't pay the rent.

I swear I'll-- You spoilt him to bits!

All he does is eat and roll about!

Coming back to this…

Take me with you when you leave for the day.

Huh?! Heck no!

My landlady's first rule was not to let people like you in.

Take Uncle instead, then.

So, you were lying!

Your words, not mine. Don't involve me in this.

Something's odd about this.

Look at what you've typed! It isn't 'Best Wishes'.

but 'Rest in Peace'!

Don't tell me what to do.

It was a silly mistake.

You've only printed posters, not designed them!

What a marvelous discovery!

Better to print your uncle's name than theirs.

How was work today?

Fine.

What's wrong?

- Work pressure? - Nope.

- I'm being tortured into loving someone. - Who?

Who else but Sindhu?

- What? - I mean…

She's my colleague, not you.

What a coincidence!

Oh yeah? If you say so.

What did you tell her?

- Sindhu… - Mm?

I meant her, not you.

"I'm sorry, Sindhu. I've moved on, actually."

Moved on from?

From falling in love, of course.

And what did she say?

She said, "Wherever you go,

you'll only find me."

Who do you think I'll find when I go?

I won't find you, will I?

I'm done with this.

Okay, okay. Don't be mad.

I was only kidding.

Let me ask you something.

Wait, wait. I'll take a guess.

Even with the looks and intelligence most girls dream about

I'm unmarried and still a 'fresh piece.'

You know exactly what to say.

Don't worry. You can open up to me.

What do you really want from me?

You see, Sindhu…

I’m not someone who asks for less.

I want it all. Everything!

Hey, hey! I was joking!

Magi?

Yeah?

What are you doing?

Cooking dinner.

You could've told me.

Why?

Because I just ordered food.

You what?

Just when I thought I'd cook some pasta,

she orders it instead.

Magi, hope you're okay with pasta.

Sindhu?

I hope you don't mind me

asking you this.

I'm sure it means something else.

Anyway, ask me.

No, no!

You paint occasionally

but never seem to sell any.

How do you manage financially?

I mean, with a huge apartment like this,

and a sick grandfather,

the hospital bill must be really high.

I only asked

so I could earn the same way.

It’s okay if you don’t want to.

With the wealth I have,

it'll last for at least a 1000 years.

- Really? - Yes, no jokes.

Ask me anything you want.

I'll make it happen.

I'm serious, Sindhu. Don't joke around.

I was also being serious.

In that case…

I want a bike.

You were messing with me, right?

Alright, I'll see you in the morning.

- I'm already tired. - But you haven't eaten properly?

I was only joking!

Bye, good night!

Make two cups of tea, Kaada.

What's with the sad face?

I, uh…

At dinner last night,

I asked Sindhu for a bike as a joke.

Did she…

I was only joking. But she took it seriously!

Magi?

Do you like it?

- How did you manage to-- - Wait.

Anything's possible with money.

It was only a bike.

- But, Sindhu-- - See.

Don't overthink it.

You get to work. We'll talk in the evening.

What bike did she get you?

A Harley-Davidson!

Horlicks, you say?!

No, he wanted Boost!

Don't interfere. Mind your own business!

Must be about five lakhs, right?

No, the starting price is 10 lakhs!

What the…

Your uncle's press isn't worth that much!

Why don't you ask her for a car next?

What? I'm not after her wealth.

- You weren't? - I'll hit you!

Come on, man.

I mean, she's pretty and wealthy…

- Why don't you settle down with her? - No, man.

I wasn't faithful to her. I was lusting after her.

She'll assume I'm after her money.

I regret it now.

You know what? I'm returning that bike.

Sure. Give it back to her.

And she'll throw you out on the street.

You'll return, and we'll resume house hunting.

- You… - Shut up, then.

You have no idea how much she likes you.

Why else would she get you a bike?

Go be happy with her now, at least. She's all yours.

- What? - Sindhu, I was only kidding.

I didn't want a bike.

So,

can you take back this bike?

Why?

Sindhu, I lied about being a software engineer.

I work at my uncle's printing press.

And I'll soon start my own.

- I know. - What?!

How?

I can't tell you that.

I know I've lied to you.

Are you not mad at me?

It's okay to lie to make a loved one happy.

Sindhu, let's return this bike.

Nope.

Please, Sindhu!

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

So, you'll straight up refuse whatever I offer you?

Yes.

What did you say?

Hey, Sindhu…

I didn't get what you said.

Mine has bats. Want to switch?

I don't mind.

As long as you don't mind.

Oh…

…really?

I don't know if you meant it,

but I got what you asked for.

Will you get me what I ask for?

In return?

Sindhu…

I'll get you anything you ask for.

Even my life, if you'd like.

Shall I?

You can keep your life.

Okay…

How did you know…

that I was lying?

Well…

I just need to look into their eyes

to read their mind.

So, read mine now

and figure what I'm thinking about.

You're too easy to read.

You really want me to read you?

- What? - Nothing!

That's your grandfather!

Sindhu, I think he's sick.

Want me to see how he's doing?

No, I'll do it.

Sindhu?

Yeah?

Grandpa?

Are you okay?

Would you like some water?

Here's some.

Who are you calling grandpa?!

Whoa, mind your tongue.

You moron!

Call me that again

or you're dead!

Ah, someone thinks they're young.

All right, all right.

Drink some water, at least.

Listen up.

This is your chance.

Don't waste this moment.

Run as soon as you can.

Why? Why must I?

Yeah, right? I wonder why.

- Drink your water, grandpa. - You.

Forget it. Get it yourself.

Act your age!

Excuse me.

We're two years apart.

You make me sound so old.

As if.

Whatever you say!

Your granddaughter was right, though.

I'm Akash.

Wow! What a fancy name!

You'll never shut up, will you?

- I will-- - Sorry, sorry!

Sorry, Mr. Akash.

I know why you're here.

You're trying to…

Whoa! That's enough!

She's your own granddaughter. How can you say that?

Who, her? Oh, please.

It's obvious you're here for that.

Sadly, it won't happen.

Come close, you idiot.

Heck no. Talk to me from there.

She isn't who you think she is. My granddaughter, it seems…

You know something?

She isn't human.

That's enough.

I'm sure you're going to say she's a spirit.

Well, that's fine. I can manage.

But listening to your nonsense? I'd rather not.

You, stop there! Hey!

Ugh, Gra-- Akash!

Fetch water yourself!

The things I do for her sake!

Here's your water.

Come closer, you.

What else has she told you about me?

- She, um… - Did she say I was crazy?

She's a mystery, you know?

She's begun, um… Not yet.

Nope, it's done.

Wha… What is?

What are you talking about? You're confusing me!

It's all over.

- Get to the point, man! - Magi?

- What are you doing here? - Your grandfather--

I mean, I came to give Akash some water for his cough.

I'll give it to him.

- You go. - Okay.

Good night, Akash.

Bye, Sindhu.

What's wrong, Magi?

I…

wanted to run to the nearby shop.

For what?

I wanted a few puffs, that's all.

Ah, a cigarette.

Sindhu?

I didn't know you smoked too.

Rarely, though.

Okay, okay.

I'm starting to get hungry.

Shall I…?

- I just ordered food. - [doorbell rings]

What if she bought parottas because I just thought about it?

No, let me change it to idlis.

I hope you're okay with idlis.

Here's your food.

Hey… Give me two minutes, yeah?

Magi, what are you doing?

I can't open the door.

Open it for me.

Why?

To smoke, of course!

Ah, a cigarette!

You could've asked me.

Sindhu, I'm not a cigarette person.

I smoke beedis.

And I want one! Do you have one on you?

Yeah, I do.

A beedi, right?

Is that all, or shall I get you anything else?

Okay, good night.

Magi.

Your time is up.

Stop laughing, idiot.

I'm this close to punching you!

How can a painting come true?

I'm going crazy here!

And you call me crazy?

Wait till you slowly turn into one…

Hang on.

Who is she? I swear, I'll cry!

Tell me already!

Ever heard of a vampire bat?

- I haven't. - You could say she's one of those.

The only difference is, bats feed on animal blood

while she feasts on us humans.

Anyway…

You seem pretty close to her now.

I can hear your heartbeat from here.

You've got to trust me on this.

- She isn't worth-- - Shut up, you!

She lured me the same way.

I never got a dance song or a romantic scene with her.

Does she know I can dance, too?

- Who's he? - He's my grandfather.

Who are you calling grandpa?!

Ask me for anything you want. I'll make it happen.

With the wealth I have,

it'll last at least a thousand years.

She is a mystery.

Hey, good morning.

My, my. You already want me this early?

Not really.

My heart can't take it!

I'm tired of telling you the truth.

I'm going to take this chance.

Sindhu?

Sindhu!

What is it?

Can I get one?

A beedi?

Baby…

Alright, give me one.

Magi, you have to get out of here!

Sindhu, I've planned a surprise for you.

What kind of a surprise?

We're going out for a movie.

Count me out.

Please, Sindhu. I heard it's good.

Trust me. Let's watch it together.

Don't try to convince me.

I don't watch a lot of movies.

Is that so?

Alright, how about the beach?

Or a long drive someplace?

I'm not going anywhere.

If you're being adamant now,

how will I take you out anywhere after our wedding?

Please? Let's go out. Please!

No, I...

just got an idea to paint something new.

You carry on.

Paint something new?

What is your problem?

I want to watch a movie with you.

Please, Magi.

Go if you want.

Uh, nope.

Listen to me. You carry on.

Without you? I'd rather stay here.

Please come, Sindhu!

You go tonight. I'll come another time.

All right, I'll go today.

- But next time, we're going together! - Okay!

Bye, baby!

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye!

Hello, Magi?

What?

When will you be back?

I'll come back whenever I want to.

Or I might not even come back.

Why does that matter?

Magi, why are you talking differently?

This is how I'll be talking from now on!

Do whatever you want to. I don't care.

Magi, is everything okay? I'm confused.

I'm also confused!

Come home. Let's talk in person.

Come home?

You think I'm an idiot you can fool?

I want to know this, though.

You could've spared Akash. That poor guy.

I'm coming. I'm coming with the police

to put an end to your nonsense in an hour!

Magi, I think you're confused.

Listen to me and come home.

You still want me home after all this?

To hell with your house!

A place full of illusions and random events.

Whatever I want, she brings it right away.

I just have to ask, and it's in my hand.

I didn't mind that, though.

But I'll never understand

how you got me a bike overnight.

Magi, you don't know who I really am.

Please, I know it all.

From now on, I'll do whatever I want.

You can't stop me. Or try to.

Hang up, you creep!

[phone rings]

- Hello. - Hello!

Sindhu?

Did I scare you?

Yes.

No way! I was only joking.

Really?

I thought you were serious.

Oh, don't be silly.

Okay. Come up.

I want to talk to you.

Er--okay, Sindhu. I'll be there in a minute.

[phone rings]

Hey!

You don't call. You don't tell us where you are.

What are you up to? Are you coming to the shop or not?

Hey, hey. Hold on.

First, listen to me.

- What? - I'm in deep trouble, man.

Check your WhatsApp. I'm sharing my current location.

Come there as soon as you can.

You're in Ambattur? Your location says so.

Ambattur? Something's not right, man.

Anyway, I'll type out the address. Come soon.

Okay. Tell me.

Get to Guduvancherry Railway Station.

Oragadam Highway is right after that.

Take the first left there.

Kot… Kottur… Kotturpuram tollgate?

Kotturpuram doesn't have a tollgate.

- Hey! - I can't hear you, man.

- I can hear you. - Hey, Magi.

I can clearly hear you.

He cut the call as usual.

Hey!

The subscriber cannot be reached. Please try again later.

Meet Madam. You'll get a signal.

It's always the same people here.

There are many buildings here. So many floors and houses.

Isn't anyone else there?

Why not go and check the other buildings, blocks, or houses?

No.

There must be someone trapped like me, for sure.

- What, Magi? - Nothing, Sindhu.

Oh, the lift?

I moved it into the hall

so it'd be easier for you.

Oh!

Nice.

Fine, Magi. Sit down.

I want to talk to you.

Hold on, baby. I'll be right there.

Who's she? Why's she doing this?

So, Akash was right?

- She is a mystery. - I really can't get out.

I really can't-- What if, like Akash,

I'm stuck here?

This doesn't make sense!

So, the painting…

Hey, hey! How do I escape from here?

If I knew, why would I be stuck here?

Hey, wait. Wait.

I went through the gate and got out.

I don't know how, but I'm still inside here!

Everything in her painting is real.

Even the crows I drew are out there.

What's going on? I don't understand.

Even if you did, what could you do?

Then how was I able to go out all this time?

Simple.

No one can enter without her permission.

Or leave from here.

You think she lets you out because you ask her?

Fool!

I don't get any of this. I'm going crazy!

You think I stayed here willingly?

And didn't find a way out?

Such an idiot.

I've tried everything you've done before.

Hey, hey!

Don't laugh.

How did you get in here?

I'm a physiotherapist.

I regularly do home visits to check on my patients.

While doing so, I got a call one day.

[noted Tamil song] ♪ Is this love, my first true love? ♪

♪ Was it born The moment I found you? ♪

♪ Will it last? ♪

Hi.

Hi?

- Hi. - Come inside.

Grandpa's inside.

Hi.

Can you tell me where it hurts?

Over here?

What about now?

Right here?

Thank you, ma'am.

Oh, no, I must thank you.

He needs to continue this for two or three more days.

I'll stop by myself. He should be fine soon.

Okay, sir.

- How much? - Not an issue, ma'am.

You don't have to worry. Don't embarrass me.

- Thank you, ma'am. - That's so sweet of you.

Sorry, how much should I pay?

Don't worry about the payment, ma'am.

- Are you sure? - Absolutely.

The house looks neat and tidy.

Thank you.

There are rooms above, too.

I'm planning to rent it out.

Let me know if your friends require shared accommodation.

They don't necessarily have to be women.

- I'm fine with men, too. - Ma'am…

I'm looking for a room too.

If you're…

fine with it, let me know.

I'm fine.

If you move in, it'll be of much help for me.

Thank you, ma'am.

Then what happened?

No one can charm you like a woman.

I kept trying to impress her like you.

I thought life was easy.

Later, I realized

this was the real problem.

After that,

I tried my best to escape from here.

I tried calling many people.

Friends, the police… Partha?

Sir, can you hear me? Sir?

Hello, Ravi? But it was no use.

I couldn't even call for help.

There was no escape.

Hey, don't laugh.

Wait.

Stop, man.

Why choose us out of the many out there?

What's your blood group?

Do you know it or not?

Why do you ask?

Kishore, me…

even those who came before me,

are of the same blood group.

AB negative.

That's why I asked.

You won't get it if I tell you.

- Just say it. I can understand. - Rh-Null.

It's a golden blood group.

Trust me! It actually exists.

Akash, what's wrong with you?

Careful, she'll hear you.

Stop giggling. She could come. You're being loud.

Keep quiet.

She might come. Stay calm. Listen to me.

I'm telling you to shut up.

Keep quiet. She'll hear you!

Akash.

Go, man. Go that way.

Akash…

I made a mistake.

I shouldn’t have come here.

I don't know if I'll get out of here alive.

But…

I'm going to deal with her myself!

The number of guys she's lured and killed…

I'll show the world who she is.

She's ruined many lives!

I won't leave her alive.

Hey, hey. Wait. She might show up.

That's it. We can't do anything to her.

All right, why did you ask about my blood group there?

I told you, right?

Everyone here has the same blood group. That's why.

All of us were selected because of that.

But I don't know why she selected you.

But one thing.

Whatever she expects from you, don't give her that.

Keep walking.

Magi?

Baby?

Come here.

Come. Sit here.

Akash…

Magi…

T-Tell me, Sindhu.

You…

…were right, Magi.

Even my room…

…has lots of mosquitoes.

So?

I thought, from now on,

I will…

…sleep with you in your room, Magi.

What do you say?

What happened?

The food must've upset my stomach.

I will…

…be fine if I rest for a while.

Okay.

I'll be in my room.

Um… Magi?

Is he bothering you?

No, no. Nothing like that, Sindhu.

Okay. I'll take care.

Magi?

Magi.

Magi!

What, baby?

I thought I heard a noise.

I don't know, baby. I'm feeling sleepy.

We'll talk in the morning, baby.

Thought we'll go out on a fun ride.

Ride?

Now? We'll go tomorrow, baby.

Okay, baby. Good night.

Good night, baby.

Feels like I’ve seen that image before.

Where have I seen this? Where…

I know I have!

- Sir, is this a fresh design? - No. It's already been designed.

Oh, this one, sir?

Not this.

WHERE ARE YOU? YOUR PHONE'S UNREACHABLE.

Who's calling this late?

Ah, it's Magi.

Hey, where were you?

Uncle, I'll explain later. Just listen to me.

Remember the guy who came to our shop to print on Ayudha Puja?

No. What did he do?

I need his number urgently.

I don't even remember him. And you want his number?

When have I ever saved customers' numbers on my phone?

They are written down in the notebook at my shop.

I know. Please go there right now and get me that number.

I'm in a huge mess, Uncle. Please.

In the middle of the night? Okay, okay. Wait.

Don't plead. Also, why haven't you been coming?

He cut the call?

What? 500 posters? Okay.

I'll come and print them immediately.

Gosh.

The patient isn't dead yet. But they want his funeral poster.

They'll pull the plug on him in five minutes, it seems.

What all do I have to do for this family? You sleep, dear.

Why's she glaring? I'll keep a poster ready for her.

He said it's on Ayudha Puja. The 12th.

- Hello, Uncle? - Magi, I got the number. Note it down.

One minute.

- 98404… - 9840425…

- But what's the issue? - Okay, Uncle.

Damn it.

He doesn't respect me at all.

Hello?

- Hello, sir. - Yes?

Sir, my name is Magi. I've met you before.

When you came to our shop for poster printing,

your pen drive had a creature-like design.

- Oh. The werebat creature? - Yes, sir. That creature.

- I saw one in person. - What?

You actually saw it?

I saw the creature just as it is in the book.

I'm stuck with one now.

I'm unable to escape from here.

- Is there a girl with you? - Yes, sir.

The girl who's with you,

isn't a girl at all.

She's a monster.

If I have to be clearer, it's been at least

1,000 years since she was born.

There's a story about how this creature first came into this world.

Orang Asli was the leader of a tribal group.

He couldn't bear his pregnant wife's death.

He was ready to offer all his wealth to anyone in the crowd,

who could save his wife.

or the fetus.

A guy from the crowd came forward and said, 'I'll save them.'

Everyone was surprised at how he could bring the dead back to life.

But once he pressed his hands on the ground,

and started chanting some mantras,

hundreds of bats began circling the sky.

Darkness took over them completely.

The bats fell around the corpse and sacrificed their lives.

He cut off their heads and splattered the blood on the woman's stomach.

As he chanted the mantras, her stomach tore open

and a creature came out instead of a baby.

The moment it came out,

it bit the throat of the person who brought it to life

and sucked his blood.

He collapsed on the ground, cursing,

'The blood that brought you to life, that very blood will kill you.'

That creature ran and hid inside the forest.

It hunted the other animals there and fed on their blood.

Despite devouring countless animals, the creature's insatiable thirst

was finally quenched by the blood of a youngster who came to the forest.

It understood that only youngsters' blood could quench its thirst.

It hunted the youngsters who wandered into the forest.

Terrified by what they saw,

the villagers headed into the forest with flaming torches.

The creature ran and hid itself.

To save itself from humans and hunt youngsters,

it changed its form to that of a beautiful young girl.

The creature that went into the village as a girl,

lured young men, took them to the forest, and hunted them.

It changed its way of life as time passed.

But to this day, the people consider it nothing more than a myth.

I can't believe anything, sir.

Please do something and save me, sir.

Check the pictures I just sent you.

The pictures I sent are not random at all.

The only survivor of that ferocious creature

used his own blood to warn the world.

Where are you now?

Share your location immediately. I'll come to you.

No, sir. You can't come, even if I share the location.

- Why? - I don't know, sir.

You send, Magi. I'll come.

Okay, sir. I'll send it.

Hello, sir. Did you reach?

- I'm here, just like you asked. - Come to the apartment on the left.

On the left?

There isn't any apartment here, Magi.

What are you saying, sir?

Magi? Who's that on the phone?

- Uncle has come to see us. - Ask him to come in, then.

No one can enter or leave here without her permission.

Ask him to come.

Sir, check now. See if you can find it.

I told you. I can't see it, Magi.

- Magi? - Sir, tell me.

The apartment you're in…

I can now see it, Magi.

Sir! You need to leave now!

No, Magi. I'm coming in.

Oh, God! Don't, sir.

You'll be trapped too, sir.

My son went through the same thing.

- Dad! Can you hear me? - I can. Tell me, Elango.

Dad, the one in the photo I sent you isn't a girl.

Elango, tell me where you are. I'll come.

Dad! Can you hear me?

Dad, the girl…

The last thing he said that day

made me want to find out who she really was.

I wrote this book because

I had to believe something unbelievable.

Since then, I've been putting up his posters

hoping someone would tell me something.

And help me find him.

I’m right where

I’ve been searching for all along.

I want to see my son. I'm coming in.

Sir, your son…

…is dead.

Sir, more than your research and books,

several lives are involved in this.

Until yesterday, you didn't know where she was.

And how the guys went missing.

But now, only if you leave here

can you prevent someone like me or your son from coming here.

Let me be the last person she kills.

- Please leave here, sir. - Okay, Magi.

I'll leave.

There'll be a way. I'll definitely come back then.

I'll take care, sir.

Don't hang up until you're out. Stay on the line.

I'm Sindhu.

Oh!

You already know who I am, right?

I know you've even written a book about me.

I like that word.

'Immortal.'

Eternal life.

Sounds good, too.

Smart man, you are.

You want to know anything else about me?

Oh!

You want to know how to kill me?

Why come to me for that?

Look here.

If you want to kill me, I must kill myself.

No one in this world can kill me.

Happy?

Humans tend to believe in luck.

When I met Magi,

I felt hopeful.

Magi…

I want to be with him for a long time.

I want to bear his child.

My baby.

Until then,

I wanted to stay out of his way.

But…

I can't stop thinking about drinking his blood.

It's my curse.

He must understand that.

What to do?

He's just…

…just a human, you know?

It'll take time.

But till then,

whoever comes between us…

Come. Let's go to Magi's room.

I haven't been to his room since he shifted.

Then how do we meet him?

He once said he's at an apartment on the left.

Just past the railway gate where it joins the highway.

We've crossed the railway gate.

Not a single house to be seen.

♪ Immortal ♪

Sindhu.

I need some time.

Take your time, Magi.

I've got all the time. But you don't.

Decide soon.

Owner, shall we file a police complaint?

Sindhu?

Sindhu!

Sindhu!

What?

You want a beedi?

A cigar.

Sindhu…

Try. Keep trying.

Sindhu? Sindhu!

You wanted to go on a fun ride, baby.

Where are you?

Show up.

Magi?

Now you know exactly who I am, don't you?

I made a mistake, Magi.

In all these years, I never gave anyone the freedom

I gave to you.

That's the problem.

But… there's a reason for that.

Your blood made me fall in love, Magi.

Why did you do this, Magi?

To me,

all humans are mere prey.

But, I didn't see you that way.

You didn't?

Anyway, you're going to kill me.

I don't care even if I die.

But I will never let another monster like you be born.

You ruthless, cold-blooded devil!

I'm ruthless and cold-blooded?

In my opinion, deer exist only to be hunted by lions.

I am the lion and you guys, are the deer.

Drop the knife, Magi. and hear me out.

The knife you have,

cannot kill me.

But…

I want to kill you

just for thinking you could kill me.

Drop the knife, Magi.

I'm starting to get a bit hungry.

Shall I?

The photos I sent are not random at all.

The only survivor of that ferocious creature

used his own blood to warn the world.

If you want to kill me, I've to kill myself.

I want to be with him for a long time.

I want to…

bear his child.

FEW DAYS LATER

Dude…

It's all over now. Why are you still thinking about it?

No, dude.

I don't think so.

What catastrophe are we about to face?

Did you kill it?

Kill your wife too now.

Go, kill her immediately.

Why're you telling me to kill her? You senile woman!

I don't have the time to make you understand.

Kill her too. Go.

My… my…

Where's my child?

Pa… Pa… Pathara… That is…

My…

Where's my child?

Where is my child!

Where is my child?

I killed it! I killed our own child.

Forgive me, Pathara. Forgive me.

I told you to kill her. It's in the temple. See.

Take it out quickly.

Listen to me. Take it out quickly.

Go. Take it and kill her.

I've always loved my mother.

I hope that someday,

not too far away, she'll come in search of me.
