Hey Jojo!

Which side do we go?

So, it's Bangalore.

Let's find a partner for you, dear.

Tempo! Tempo! Tempo!

Everyone knows who is missing the beat.

Again! Once more from the top. - One!

Aidhan!

Did you read the music sheet?

I'm asking if you read it.

What's the beat?

One!

Two! Three!

Four! Is this hard to maintain?

Again!

One! Two! Three! Four!

Wow! Awesome, buddy.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Where did you find him?

Take it easy, buddy. - Six times, dude.

You're unfit for studio.

Sandy, what's wrong? - Gosh!

Aidhan!

Hey, don't act like a psycho.

Why did you yell?

What is the issue?

It's not even 11 AM.

You'll die of drinking.

No one will come if you get sloshed and yell like this.

Can't you compose without liquor?

I don't mind you taking a dig at me.

I'll smash your face if you mock my music.

Dude, will you never reform?

Fine. Everyone is waiting.

Come and talk to them.

They're pretty annoyed.

Dude!

Did you call Jeevika?

Who is she?

That girl volunteer

who called for cancer charity.

Fine. I'll call her.

'Happy birthday to you!' 'Happy birthday to you!'

'Happy birthday dear Jeevika!' 'Happy birthday to Jeevika!'

'Happy birthday! - Hurray!

Please eat! - Thanks, uncle.

Don't mind me asking.

Don't you bring gifts for a friend's birthday?

Uncle, your daughter snatched the gift

money and donated it for charity.

All along, she paid out of her pocket.

Does she use others' money to donate as well?

Very nice!

Dad, please stop.

Don't overfeed.

I had asked Rs 50000 for my Bengaluru trip. Where is it?

Why just Rs 50000, dear?

Take this!

You can use up to Rs 100000.

But I have a condition. - What is it?

Everyone does charity on their birthday.

Why don't you spend it on yourself this time?

Cool, dad. I'll get sloshed and party wild.

Fine. Why are you going to Bengaluru?

I told you about a concert. Did you forget? - Wow!

Does my daughter go for concerts?

It's a charity concert. - Not surprising!

What about Rs 100000? - Forget it!

'Do you know who I was talking to?'

The Commissioner.

I'm facing lot of backlash because of the news you published.

I had to beg people.

What did I do, sir? - Sameera, the news

you published is very sensitive.

Also you've posted it on our company's official website.

But we did all the hard work to bring it to the public's notice.

You know how difficult it is to run a Tamil publication

in another state?

Lot of political pressure.

By choosing journalism,

we signed up for these job related risks.

This dark web is destroying every bit of our society.

Human trafficking, drugs!

It's a hub for all the illegal stuff.

People must know about it, sir.

Sameera, don't be over dramatic.

Get it clear!

This is the state of journalism now.

Exactly, sir.

This is why I want to quit journalism.

No matter where you work

you'll always be bound by a set of conditions.

But there are no such

limitations for an independent writer, sir.

What do you mean?

Yes!

I'm working on a book.

It's a surprise.

I'll come and meet you

with the first copy as soon as I am done.

Charity concert. Please come.

Marvelous, right? - Out of the world!

What's his name? - Aidhan,

from Chennai. - Ah!

Do you want to meet him? - Do you know him?

I'm the organizer.

Can you arrange a meeting with him?

So, can you fill this up?

Hi! I am Jeevika. - Hi, I am Sameera.

The show was really good!

Do you want to meet him too?

Sure. Why not? - Can you also fill this up?

It's for charity, guys. Thanks.

Hi! - Hi!

Who is it?

They wanted to meet you.

Hi! - Hi!

Hi! - Hi!

You were really good. - Thank you!

That was really deep!

Hard to find genuine emotions and...

You wrote the lines by yourself?

Yes!

You've been through enough I guess. I can empathize with you.

One song and you know me already?

No! No!

I didn't mean to offend you.

Well, it takes one to know one.

Someone who has really seen pain.

And you are? - Sameera!

Don't you guys speak Tamil?

I know Tamil. - I'm from Chennai.

Why brag in English then? Let's talk in Tamil.

Bro!

I'm truly touched by your music, bro.

Give me your hand. Nah! Let's hug!

Were you having a meeting?

Did I interrupt? - Not at all.

It's fine even if I did. I am Dharna.

Your name?

Dushyant! - Okay!

And you? - I'm Jeevika, organiser of this event.

So?

What do you do?

There's nothing much to say about me.

'Aidhan, let's leave.' - Yeah! - I enjoy life

with my father's money.

What about you guys?

I am a traveler. - Oh! Do you own a travel company?

Travel! Traveling!

Are you into bike racing?

No! Not racing. Just traveling.

No difference between the two, bro.

When you ride you focus only on the road

Whereas I focus on the nature around.

Our travel is not bound by destination.

Fantastic, bro. High five!

Do you also live off your dad's money?

No! No! I write travelogue on the internet.

I travel to less famous destinations, click pictures

and publish a blog about the place.

Currently, I have

good number of followers.

What's the name of your travelogue?

'To sky and beyond'!

Didn't you write a piece on the Himalayas?

Brilliant write up with intricate details.

You are good. - Thanks!

What do you do? - I am a writer.

Not yet. I've just quit my job

to work on my first book.

What kind of book?

Mostly intense psychological thriller.

I have some content. But...

I'm wondering how to present it as a novel.

Sounds interesting!

That's wonderful! Are you guys serious?

We have a writer, a traveler,

a musician and

a jobless guy! - Hello! Excuse me!

Being jobless is the most difficult! - Yup!

That's better. - Don't mind.

I've always wanted to meet different people like you.

Meeting you all on my birthday... - Hey!

Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!

Thank you! - Where's the party?

Fine! I'll leave. I'm really tired. - Bro!

Don't try to escape from the party.

No! No! I am just a little tired.

Bro, I'm sure you're going to get drunk.

So, let's share a drink together.

I'd like to treat you, bro. My dad is the sponsor.

No! - The concert is over. Please join us.

Okay! - Where do we go? - Okay!

I know a place.

Guys, it was a wonderful evening.

Totally unexpected.

We should keep in touch. Okay?

I'll take leave then. - Huh?

Even I'll make a move.

Don't go already.

We just got acquainted.

Why do you want to leave?

I am sure you are not busy.

You just quit your job.

You're going to ride all your life.

So let's chill for a day. Nothing wrong.

Bro!

This is no IT company for you to go on time.

Sit down, bro.

Bro, give me your number.

I...

I don't use a mobile phone. - Bro!

Stop kidding. I know you've got a mobile. - I am not kidding.

It's almost eight years since I used a mobile.

Are you serious? No mobile for eight years?

What if you get lost?

Only when you get lost,

you find something new.

It's brilliant.

You are like a bird. Completely free.

I wish to live like you.

But I can't.

What's stopping you?

You must definitely

go after what you like!

Not everyone has a privilege of getting lost.

People are bound by responsibilities.

Bro, how do I reach you then?

What is the need?

Are we never going to meet again?

We'll definitely meet.

I believe in it.

How? When? Where?

If all of us earnestly desire to meet,

we'll find a way to do so. - Whoa!

This is too much. - Fine!

Do you intend to get lost again

or do you have a plan?

I've got a plan.

But...

About six years ago.

I don't remember exactly.

A one way path

that can hold only one person at a time

with about 1000 ft deep pit on either side.

Clouds floating around us.

It feels as though you're walking on clouds.

Wow!

Like floating in the sky!

To stand there

and watch sunset...

What a feel you know!

I can say,

that's closest to heaven on earth I've seen.

It's a different

kind of high. - Imagine having a drink

at a spot like that. Wow! Bro!

Do you get liquor there or should we carry it?

There's a wine shop beside the tree.

Is it? - Yes! Enjoy the drink.

Guys, I'm in.

I'll also come, bro.

Excuse me!

But I didn't offer to take any of you.

I've never traveled

without my Bullet.

You lead us on your bike.

We'll follow you in a car.

Cool then.

Guys!

Are you serious?

No! No! I've a concert in a month's time. I can't. I am sorry.

We all got together because of your concert.

How can you refuse? You must come.

You should also come.

I'm going to the restroom.

Will you? - Nah! I'm good. - Bro, I wanted to ask.

I am sure you do. Come! - What if I get

sloshed at the spot? Will you bring us back?

Hey, are you kidding me?

We've just met. How can you plan a tour with them?

Are you really that stupid

or just acting like one?

Hello, I am not stupid. Okay?

I know people and I believe in my intuition.

I've never traveled with strangers before.

But somehow I trust them.

You said you were a writer.

Why do you think so small?

There are many kinds of people, Jeevika.

You can't judge people you've just met.

It's wrong to have a negative judgment like you.

Just look at them.

I find them genuine. Don't you?

I just wanted you to be a little careful.

If you really care about me,

do come along!

At least take care of me. - I've...

I've never done anything like this before.

Don't think so much. Please come with me.

Okay!

Do you want to use the loo?

No! - Fine! Let's go.

Yes! We're in.

She's also in!

Whoa! That's the spirit.

Sameera!

You quit your job. Fine!

But you could've

done it while on the job too.

My book is also a reason.

But that's not why I quit.

We gathered sensitive statistics.

I was asked not to publish it in newspaper.

So, I quit.

What's this sensitive news?

Details of women trafficking

and the number rescued by Police.

We had collected data at State level.

But I was forbade from publishing it.

Okay?

I put it up on their official page.

Whoa! That's great.

Wonderful! - Not really!

It's impossible to stay idle.

Tell us about your true passion, bro.

Bro, I did think about it.

But there's nothing.

There must be something.

What do you like the most?

I...

I love cars!

I am crazy about them.

When I drive at full speed,

I experience an adrenaline rush

It's an eternal feel! It can

never be matched.

My mom has negative thoughts

about me and is always

worried for me.

What about your dad?

My dad is a multimillionaire.

He has no time to think about me.

He is quite confident that anything

I do is a complete waste.

So I stopped caring about life. I don't think much.

Only when I drive,

I am my true self!

If you are so passionate,

why didn't you pursue further?

I don't have the need

to prove to anyone. - Bro!

I was like you!

But...

Someone very close to me once said

everyone has a passion.

Each of us have it.

It's our responsibility to identify

the passion and pursue it.

I am not as passionate as you are, bro.

Don't keep prodding me.

Just let it go.

Aidhan!

You are chasing after

something unrelentingly?

It's not possible to make all decisions in life.

Take it easy. You'll find a way soon.

I never thought I'd be

here right now!

Why?

Did any of you think you'd be here today?

It's...

Destiny!

Bro, where did you go?

Okay cool!

Okay, guys. I'm going to sleep. Very tired. - Bro!

Where are you going now?

Don't you guys feel sleepy?

What do you want to do?

Let's play something.

What?

Truth or dare? - Oh, so sweet. Truth or dare?

Idiot!

Okay then you suggest something.

Deacon? - Her idea was better.

Sameera, why don't you suggest an interesting game?

I played this often in my childhood days.

It's really interesting.

But we can play only if we completely believe in it.

It can lead to anything.

The build up is quite interesting.

What's the game that I have never heard of?

Will you be quiet?

Sounds very interesting. You go ahead and tell us about it.

Okay, pick a random book from the book shelf here.

It can be of any genre.

Humor, horror, history. It can be anything.

Read a content from it.

You must believe it's going to happen with you as you read it.

That's the game.

There are million possible outcomes.

Come on, let's play guys.

Sounds interesting. - Okay.

Don't keep talking about it. Let's play.

Okay, I will go and get a book. - Hey...

You sit here. You might end up getting a comic book.

Sameera, you get a book.

Okay.

This book? - That one.

That one.

Oh, nice.

I'll go first?

Pancharakshar!

Yes, please.

Having got stuck in a whirlpool, and crossed many hardships,

like a storm has just ended, we shall get out

of this phase.

Have patience.

As you hear a free bird cooing,

you will know that

this is the beginning of a new story and not the end.

Looks like some serious riddles.

Didn't you understand anything? - No.

Neither did I.

Really interesting.

Bro, what's so interesting about it?

Don't blabber anything. Give it here.

A horse that runs freely does hardly know

it's time for it to pull a chariot all its life.

What? Did they say,

we have to pull a chariot?

I'm sure, this points at my dad.

Dad is planning to end my life.

You deserve it.

You must be made to slog.

The captain of an army that won many battles for the king,

passed away following a disease.

And hence, the king took over the post of the captain

and fought his enemy in the war.

Can we stop playing this game?

Why?

Are you able to relate to anything?

No, that's not the case.

The content is so negative.

I don't think it's just one story

in this book. Looks like a collection of many stories.

It's just a game. Why are you overthinking?

Let's proceed to the next round.

When the pet dog that was so dear died,

in order to hide the sorrow from their daughter,

her parents buried the dead dog in the garden.

And they lied to her that the dog ran away.

This means...

My Rio didn't run away.

It died?

Hey, how long has it been since your pup went missing?

Twelve years, six months.

Even if it ran away, it would have died by now.

Silly girl! - Hey.

Come on, it's a game.

Crossing borders,

the bird that flies is ignorant of the fact

that one day, it will lose its wings

and end up in a cage.

No matter what,

I am not going to

stop traveling.

That's the attitude. We'll face it, bro.

Isn't the game thrilling? Let's play, come on.

Everywhere that Devaki went,

a black cat followed her.

Whenever she saw it,

her inner conscience warned her

of some untoward

incident.

I think Devaki was stupid.

Does anyone fear a black cat?

But it is scary if we see it in dark.

I don't find Sameera to be timid.

A princess from China with a pure heart

was taken away by

a fire dragon.

From where did a dragon appear?

Is this fantasy or fiction?

The sins she committed haunted her in dreams

and made her life hell.

That will become your nightmare even in reality.

Hey...

Why did you get serious? - No.

A man who wanted to touch the peak of a mountain where no one went,

thought of the moment when he could slip off

but still climbed up the mountain reluctantly

and managed to reach the cliff. That's when his worst fear

came true. Bro...

We've climbed enough mountains.

Let us get down tomorrow. I'm scared now.

Someone who met only good people,

also wanted to see the other face of humans.

He started believing that this world belongs to

evils alone.

What does this mean?

I am scared.

You wanted to play, right? So, it's obvious.

A man who surrendered his life to music is one day

doomed by his own music.

This one is perfect.

I'm such a drunkard...

Don't be so shocked.

You read the last paragraph and end this game, please.

What is it?

What did you read? Tell us.

It says,

we're going to meet

a Satan that has an innocent child like face.

Did you just say a Satan?

Bro, we went overboard.

We cannot take anymore of this. Let us keep the book aside.

I'll throw it and get going.

Hey... - Okay, bye.

Where are you taking it? No. - Hey, stop.

Stop. - Dharna, stop. - Please.

Didn't any of you think about the game we played last night?

Game? What game?

Don't tell me!

Do you seriously not remember anything? - I am forgetful always.

Yesterday, I was really drunk.

Bro, you are just too much.

Don't you really remember? - Stop.

I seriously don't remember... - Hey! - A dog!

What happened?

It is dead.

Is it dead? Do you have no brains?

I told you so many times to drive carefully. - Hey...

Relax, he did that by mistake.

It's just a dog. - So what?

Will you run over it?

Don't you have any feelings? - Hey, guys.

I was waving my hand to signal you, why didn't you notice?

She is very upset. - It was

already killed under some other vehicle.

Oh!

Was it already dead?

Sorry, Jeevu. - Okay.

Well, what do you want to do?

Did you see that?

Things are happening just as we read in the book.

What game did we play yesterday?

But what you read

had already happened with you, in the past.

Why are you connecting this to that?

Just don't overthink. Okay?

Good job, guys. - Thank you.

You guys were rocking.

Every tune I heard so far

are really genuine and superb.

You guys were doing a great job. Keep it up.

Aidhen, I've got a very good news for you.

Like you wished,

I have fixed an important gig for you in the next month,

at the Coke Studio.

Yes! - Dude, that's awesome.

Okay, keep rocking.

All the very best. Keep rocking.

Yes!

Superb, buddy.

Brother...

The manager just gave us such great news.

What are you thinking?

Nothing, dude.

My head is aching.

This entire side is aching badly.

I am not able to play the beats perfect.

I am not able to even hold the instrument firmly.

I am scared.

There's nothing to worry. We've been practising constantly.

You go home and get some rest. Okay?

We'll take it from here tomorrow? - Okay, sure.

Sure? - Okay.

Okay, dude. - Go home.

Yes, Aidhan?

Sameera, this is Dushyant speaking.

Why did you call from Aidhan's phone?

Sameera, it's an emergency.

I will explain everything in person.

Come to the broken bridge in the evening. We'll be there too.

Okay.

What's about the game that we played?

What the heck is that book, Sameera? Was it black magic?

What?! - Didn't I say this when the dog died the other day?

That something bad was about to happen.

I didn't get it. Can you please tell me what happened?

Sameera, it's getting serious.

It didn't happen just with me, but with everyone.

Including you, right?

Didn't you see the black cat?

Why did it happen? Please explain to us.

I don't understand why are you all asking me about it?

Me seeing a black cat was a coincidence.

I just shared it with you casually.

Please tell me what happened with you all.

My dad has given me one week's time to decide if I'll take over

his business or leave the house.

So, what? - So, what?!

Why did he ask me this now?

You know his best friend, base guitarist?

He had a major stroke.

He is almost paralysed.

He was the lead guitarist in the next concert.

How is your friend's illness

connected to the game we played? - Don't you remember?

The chief captain who lead an army and won many battles

for his king dies of a grave illness

following which the king had to take over the position

to fight his enemies in the battle.

Do you get it now?

He was my only friend, Sameera.

I don't know if he'll ever play a guitar again.

Sameera, I'm really scared. What the heck is happening?

What we read in the third round was all so dark.

Guys...

Please think about it with a calm head.

What if all this was destined to happen?

Why do you think it's happening because of the book?

If everything is happening according to the book,

I should have settled down with a broken leg too.

But nothing of that sort happened. - No, no.

I seriously think, this book is cursed.

The content in the book was all dark.

Did you notice this, Sameera?

Yes, I've noticed. So, I wanted to read the book. But...

He threw it away before that. - What about the lines we read?

What if that comes true?

I am really scared.

All that you talk makes me feel I'm watching some horror movie.

Just shut up, Jeevika.

Hey, did you notice something?

We played the game one month ago.

But it is only after Sameera sent a message in the group about

the black cat that all this started happening.

Did you guys think about it?

Guys, I got it.

It is all in our mind. That is why, all this is happening.

Hey, will you please explain it?

Okay, I'll explain.

We started thinking more about it only after I sent the message.

So I think, we made it happen. - Are you...

Are you kidding me? What do you mean? - Will you listen to me?

In simple words...

we're the architect of our own life.

Have you heard about the theory called 'Loss of Attraction'?

A book called 'The secret'.

It is also the book that was translated most of the times

and sold. People found some truth in it, right?

You would have noticed too. Someone who is spiritual

will go in search of God. One who thinks about money

will go in search of riches.

Someone looking for his passion will achieve it.

What one wants to become is what he becomes.

It is our thoughts that shape our life.

It's an universal law. For instance, talking about us...

You always wanted to be a traveler, right?

You wanted to serve mankind.

You desired to be a great musician.

I always wished to be a writer.

I always wanted to be a racer. You can call it an obsession.

Then why didn't I become one?

Don't take me wrong.

But sitting at home and dreaming alone can't help you achieve.

You need to take the efforts.

Only then will our thought process

start manifesting in a positive way.

Else, the negativity and doubt within us will kill it.

That is why, the word 'Think positive' is so powerful.

It's a thought process to wish to reach a destination safely.

It is yet another thought process to wish nothing bad happens.

Aren't both of these positive?

But, no.

One who thinks he shouldn't meet with an accident,

is the one who meets with it.

We may have gone to see a fake astrologer.

He could have made all wrong predictions.

But even one or two of his predictions would come true.

Why?

It is because he implanted the idea in our mind,

it is definitely us who made it happen.

Guys...

I don't remember anything.

Neither did I think about anything as such. Then how did it happen?

It is not just your thoughts that decide your life.

The thoughts of people who are dear to you,

who you hang around with, also affect your life.

Why are you talking about such a deep, psychological concept?

How can we not think about it?

Aidhen, just keep yourself engaged.

Think positive. - It's easy said than done.

Jeevika, stop thinking about that dead dog.

My mind is full of that thought. - Hear that?

I just cannot stop thinking about what we read.

The more we try to stop thinking about it,

the more we end up thinking about it.

It's practically impossible, guys. We are all royally - - - - - - up.

Okay, fine.

Did you think why nothing happened to me?

Did you guys think?

I didn't read Sameera's message.

I never thought about it. So, nothing happened with me.

We are the ones who shape our thoughts.

It's kind of a group effect.

It is because we all had the same thought process, all this happened.

That's true.

It is only when I think about you guys, I think about the game. - So,

it won't help if just one of us stops thinking about it.

Each one of us should stop thinking about what we read.

And the only way to that is, let us not meet each other.

Will staying away from each other stop our thought process?

What do you imply?

It will be difficult in the beginning.

With time, we'll be fine.

The first thing we need to do for that is,

delete everyone's phone numbers

and social contacts.

And for some days, do what you like the most.

I am planning a long trip too.

So, let us distract our mind for some time.

Guys, are you serious?

Are we seriously parting ways?

I was so happy to have found good friends.

Jeevika, there is no other way.

You know how serious this is. - Guys...

Let's set a time frame at least, like 6 months or one year.

If we decide to part, when again will we meet?

If we set a time frame,

we will keep thinking more about it for a few days.

We'll keep thinking about it only if we don't set a time.

No, no, guys. I can't do this.

Jeevika, we don't have a choice. We have to do this. - Seriously.

Guys, calm down.

I firmly believe that we will meet.

And I strongly believe in destiny.

We'll definitely meet.

So...

For now, it's best that we part.

Let destiny decide

how it is going to bring us together.

And I think, it's time.

Okay?

'How can we not think about it?'

'The more we try to forget it,'

'we end up thinking more.'

'It won't help if only one of us stop thinking about it.'

'Each one of us should stop thinking about what happened to us.'

'So, for some time, let's distract our mind.'

'I always wished to be a racer.'

'You can call it an obsession. Then why didn't I become one?'

'Nothing will come true if you sit at home and keep dreaming.'

'You need to take the efforts.'

Hello, Preeti.

Oh, no!

I'll be right there.

I'll be right there.

What is it, dear? What has happened?

Jeevika, what's wrong? - A bus accident near Sriperumbudur.

There were so many children in it, dad.

Jeevika, stop. Listen...

Jeevika...

Dad...

Nothing to worry, don't panic.

You stay here, I'll book a cab for you. Wait, I'll be back.

Okay.

Sir, can you please drive faster? - Sure, madam.

'Aren't you a guitarist too? Can't you do it?'

'Sir, I'm a rhythm guitarist and he is a lead guitarist.'

'The concert is round the corner.'

'What shall we do now?'

Mister, please stop. Someone is injured there.

Hey...

Why are you standing alone?

Don't go there!

No!

Don't go!

Where are you taking me?

Please let me go.

Please... Let me go. - Hey...

Please, let me go.

Listen up.

Please...

Tell me what you want.

Stay quiet, I say!

Help!

Help!

Help, please...

Help!

Somebody, help.

What is it?

Who are you?

No!

Sir...

Don't harm him, please.

I am telling you.

Hey, a check post.

Police is here, stop.

I say, stop.

Oh, no.

Nothing to worry, it's a minor injury.

He lost his consciousness in the shock of the accident.

He will come around very soon. - Thank you, doctor. - Welcome.

No, no. Lie down.

Who do you want to prove yourself to?

I have done everything for you.

Your horoscope warns of an accident.

Hence, your mom was so

worried every time you drove a car.

If we allow you to do as you please...

No!

'It is because he implanted that idea in our mind'

'that we definitely make it happen.'

Now I understand everything.

Dad, was there a call for me?

No, son. - Dad, please hand me your phone.

Why, son? - Please, dad.

Sameera, Dharna here.

Dharna, where are you?

Aidhan met with a serious accident. - What?!

Okay, I'll be right there.

What is it, son? Who is in trouble? - A friend met with an accident.

He is admitted in Agada hospital. - Hey!

You are in the same hospital too.

Which room is patient Aidhan in?

He is in the critical care unit, madam.

Dharna...

Did the doctor say anything?

Due to high voltage passing through his body is completely paralysed.

His pulse rate is very low too.

He is completely on the ventilator.

For now, they cannot say anything.

It will take two three days.

I don't understand why is this happening to all of us.

Did any of you call Jeevika?

I did try.

Her phone is switched off.

I tried reaching her too, but in vain.

She never switches off her phone.

I am scared. Shall we go and check on her?

No, you stay here. You need some rest.

Take care of Aidhan as well.

The two of us will go and check.

No, inspector...

Don't worry, sir. We'll find her.

Hey, come.

I was longing to contact you.

Did any of you speak to Jeevika for the last time?

No, uncle. - Did you see her?

Oh, no...

She left to Sripedumbudur, following an accident there.

She called me on her way.

When I called her after that, her phone was switched off.

It is then that I filed a police complaint.

He is saying something... I am really scared.

Please ask him about it. - Sir, what is it?

Come.

Sir, you please wait here. I'll have a word with them. - Please.

The taxi the girl left from home in,

and the driver's body has been found.

Actually, many such murders have taken place on that highway.

We are on the hunt to find that serial killer.

What do you mean by

this has happened? I didn't get you. - Four girls so far.

They were abducted from that highway.

Are you sure it's a serial killer?

All four girls died.

Four girls?!

How could you say that so easily?

What did he say? - Nothing, uncle.

We'll take care. You may leave, sir.

Uncle, don't panic. Come.

Come. - Please...

I'm the evil Satan you have heard of in your childhood days.

I'm the darkest hour you have always feared of.

Your delicate heart...

I am the beast who is going to turn you into a rock.

I am the dead end to

your boundless happiness.

Why have you abducted me?

You're one of the purest soul

I have seen.

What are you going to do to me?

I am going to change your belief.

I am going to show you the dark side of you.

I am going to show you

the darkest side of

humanity.

Let me go.

I can't believe this.

So much has happened.

Like a fiction story.

I never imagined, I'd see you all again.

There is no news of

Jeevika yet.

The police is still on the look out.

It is of no use relying on anyone.

Let us go and find her.

Let's do it.

I am ready.

But...

Where will we look for her?

She went missing from the middle of a highway.

She could have gone to any direction from there.

We are all responsible for the state of Jeevika.

No, bro.

It's the jinxed book that's responsible.

She read that

she'd see the darkest side of humanity, didn't she?

The book is something else.

What happened beyond the book,

is what we actually feared.

We can change any situation if we think so.

Even the destiny.

It's not completely about the book.

No guys.

That day,

I didn't tell you all about what I read

in the last round of the game.

'You will see a Satan with the face of a child.'

'You will then lose a relationship.'

I think...

The book is beyond our imagination.

It has got all the answers.

The only way to all this

should definitely be mentioned in the book.

Okay, so

let us go and find the book immediately. - Guys...

I have the book.

How did you get it?

Explain, Sameera.

When I found the book,

I found something really odd about it.

I couldn't

leave it there and come.

I was just

curious. - You could've told this before!

You all were already scared.

I didn't want to tell you this

and scare you anymore.

Now I understand.

We are facing all this because it is with us.

I am sure you have read the book. Tell us what's written in it.

I read it.

Random events, thoughts and concepts.

It's designed with one paragraph

from every book in this world.

In fact,

I think they have

written the book to decide one's destiny.

How is it

that the book comes to us when we think about it?

It's in our destiny that this should happen to us.

Let's see what we can do with the book.

Whatever has happened so far was mentioned in the book.

What will happen in future,

let's ask the book about it. - Are you serious?

Do you mean to say, we'll play again? - We have no choice.

What if things take a negative turn again?

The book is not full of only negative contents.

Negative and positive, are equal.

What our minds look for,

is what the book shows to us.

Negative thoughts are always more powerful.

For example,

although an astrologer tells us ten good things,

the only bad thing he says

leaves a deep impact on our mind.

That is why, though the good may or may not happen,

but the bad definitely does. - Let us

not have any doubt and play with

complete faith.

This book will definitely take us to Jeevika.

Who are you all?

Hey, don't be scared.

Don't cry. He doesn't like it.

Please, listen to what I say. - You...

Since how long have you been inside here?

We have forgotten the count.

It's been several months now.

Inside this?

Since months?!

It's been years.

I have lost count.

I haven't seen sunlight for so many days.

I don't even remember when I stood straight,

for the last time.

Why has he tied you all up here? What does he do?

What else?

He abducts girls like us

and kill us by torturing us.

He has killed so many, after I came.

So, is he going to kill all of us?

Is there no way to escape?

Let's start.

Friends who believed there was no dissension among them,

decide to continue the journey towards their destination.

But the hidden secrets each of them had,

became an obstacle to achieve their goal.

On realizing this,

they forgot their differences, revealed their secrets,

and continued towards their goal.

Guys, why are you all silent?

Do you have any secrets?

I wanted to tell you all something.

It isn't a big secret.

But I just didn't get the right opportunity to

share that secret with you.

It is six years ago that I met Harini for the first time.

As soon as I saw her, I could see my entire life in her eyes.

She is the one who recognized the music in me.

It was her biggest dream to see me as a musician.

It was like a dream.

Just too surreal to believe.

Every dream shatters some day.

Got to know she was suffering from cancer, two years ago.

She expected only one thing from me.

That she should die as my wife.

I feared that she might leave me,

if I fulfilled her wish.

I just wanted her to live one more day with me.

She left me forever before I could fulfill her wish.

But I bid her goodbye after making her my wife.

Her face is what lives within me as my music.

It's the only reason I'm still alive.

As long as your music is with you,

your Harini will go nowhere.

Your love is something eternal.

I know the pain of

losing someone.

I never imagined

I would ever share this with anyone.

I had everything in life.

Suddenly, everything turned upside down.

I started seeing the dark side of my life.

My friends...

All of them left me.

Drugs showed me a world I had never seen.

That was a completely different world.

Because of drug overdose,

my closest friend died.

My breaking point.

That's when I started traveling.

The only good thing that happened in my life after that

is you all.

Sorry, bro.

Really sorry to hear that.

That's okay.

Let's move on. - Sameera...

You have anything to say?

I think...

She has nothing to say.

I am an orphan.

But...

It wasn't decided by destiny.

I lost my dad when I was a child.

It was just my mom and me after that.

We had no financial crisis.

But dad's demise

started taking a toll on my mom gradually.

I saw her transcend

from the happiest mother to the darkest woman.

She was suffering from

intense schizophrenic depression.

Mom...

The world she saw was different.

I realised that slowly.

The doctor gave me only two choice.

Let her live in the hell that she has created for herself

or just help her to attain salvation.

I wished to keep her with me, no matter what.

But I could not.

When I saw her suffer each day,

I decided that death is the only joy I could give her.

You have to let it go, Sameera.

Guys,

this book is not an accident.

I had kept it there.

Are you crazy?

You're the reason why Jeevika is not here today.

What sense did it make to you?

Do you even realize what you did? - Do you know what you have done?

Like your mom was killed,

have you decided to kill us as well? - Stop it.

Don't talk rubbish.

I never imagined things would take such a turn.

If you feel so,

I shall leave. - You have done what you had to.

Now, you want to leave?

Where did you find that book?

For a novel inspiration,

I went to a library one day.

That is when I found this book.

One who read this book last,

had left some notes for the next reader.

Using our past to

analyse our future.

A great man had created this book for that purpose.

And then, this book traveled

from many kings

to different writers and common men.

The book was in a bad shape.

Someone published the book in modern Tamil.

They saved it from those who wanted to destroy it

and hid it in this library.

So, it's all

just curiosity, right?

You could've told this before.

She would have done that, had she considered us her friends.

We would've played the game even if you told us about it.

Do you mean what she did was right?

If we had found this book,

we would've done exactly the same. - It's my mistake.

I should not have hidden it from you all.

You all are very important to me.

I'm sorry.

What next?

Is anybody here?

Don't harm them, please.

Stop!

Isn't it so beautiful?

As far as the cat is concerned,

you and I are the same, Jeevika.

It is because there is something good about me

that it came to me.

Like how there is some good quality in me,

there is definitely some vice within you.

In this world,

no one is born as a bad person.

Neither does anyone die as a good person.

Including you.

Are you confused?

You are a daddy's little princess, right?

Since the time you were born, you had all comforts.

Like an apple kept inside a refrigerator,

everyone who lived without facing any problem are good humans.

If you had to face what I did,

would you still have been the same?

Hypothetical question, right?

Fine, let's make it real.

It is because I helped people mentally disturbed like you

that I am suffering now.

You do that for them or for yourself?

They don't need your f... - - - - help, Jeevika.

I'm going to show the world

that the purest of soul

can commit

the darkest of crimes.

Two hundred thousand eyes are watching you right now.

There are many eyes here.

You are an instant hit, Jeevika.

You have no idea how dark is the world around you.

No, I don't believe you.

Who is watching me?

What are you talking?

There can be no one like you.

Have you ever heard about the deep dark web?

The place where humans

fulfill the darkest of their wishes

is the dark web.

Another face of the internet you have never seen.

A place where cruelties beyond your imagination happen.

To put it in simple words for you to understand,

it is like facebook and twitter that you use, but what you see

here is live murder, rape,

child abuse.

Not just that,

international weapon dealings,

drug mafia, human trafficking. This is the only platform

for all such illegal activities.

Where do you think did I find you?

What you are holding in your hand are my eyes.

I've been watching you for a while now, Jeevika.

Very soon,

the whole world will change.

Do you think you bring a change

in the world with your small noble deeds?

No.

The filth in human minds

and their suppressed desires

have been accumulating and turning us all into monsters gradually.

The world you are going to see now is different.

It's time.

Let's start the game.

In the 9th century,

a Vijayalaya soldier

acquired some skills

and prepared to fight Pandian, the king.

On the fourth day of the war, since he found himself weak,

a huge army came down

from the south direction to help Vijayalaya soldier.

I think we have a direction.

It's something that happened thousands of years ago.

Are we going to travel believing this?

If you don't have serious belief in it, don't do this.

At least don't shake our faith. - Let's go towards the south.

We'll start from ECR.

The vultures that fed on the dead bodies

in the battlefield

became their guide. The army firmly stood on

its ground and marched forward.

How far will we keep traveling like this?

I don't understand where are we going or what are we up to.

I really don't believe in it. - Why are you losing faith repeatedly?

Guys, believe me.

Magic does happen.

I can't stop thinking about what state Jeevika would be in.

Guys...

Don't fight. If we fight amongst ourselves, nothing can help.

Did you think about it with a calm mind? Did a single clue help?

Nothing is happening because you don't believe in it.

All of us must believe in it completely for it to manifest.

All bad things happened when we feared it would.

Similarly, believe that something good will also happen.

An eagle!

Look on that car! An eagle!

Look there! - Where? - There!

God!

Look at that sticker, bro. - Go, go. Follow the car.

Dushyant, follow us.

Go faster. Speed up.

Guys...

This is the clue. Just go for it.

Go faster, don't lose him.

Go faster.

What's wrong, sir?

It keeps troubling me often.

You carry on, I'll manage.

What happened?

He is fine. Where do we head next?

Although the eagle stops flying,

the brave soldiers

marched forward towards the battlefield.

It's some secret code,

that's written down in numbers. - We can't memorise the numbers.

Sameera, click pictures of it.

We can discuss on the way. - Yeah, okay.

Bro, there is less fuel in the car. We need to fuel it up.

Hey, just go back. Show me the number again.

Guys, the numbers on the speedometer

and that on the clue is exactly the same. - What?!

Yeah.

You're right. Five numbers sync.

The sixth number will sync in the next kilometer.

Awesome.

What about the remaining 5 numbers?

136...

28. 13628...

13628. Where's 13628?

Guys, the number on that milestone is 137.

Which means, the number after a kilometer will be 136!

Yes! Yes...

Go, go! Keep going. - Shall I tell Dushyant too?

Keep going. Let's cross the milestone.

Then we'll tell him.

136! 136!

Stop here. Stop the car.

What? - All the numbers are in a sync.

The numbers in the clue

and that on the speedometer are the same. - Sameera, really?

What are the last two digits? - 136...

28.

Twenty eight.

28? - 28...

Why are we searching here?

It could be 28 degrees or 28 kilometers.

Hey!

Shadow! Wasn't there a clue about shadow?

He will move in front of you and also follow you.

He will move in front of you and also follow you. - Yeah.

As the time approaches, he will come in front of you.

Follow him. - Our shadow falls here.

Turn that side and look at the opposite direction.

You will find a solution.

So, if we stand looking this way, that's the opposite direction.

This direction.

Hey, 28!

Oh, yeah. - Yes, let's go and see if we find a clue.

The five elements, water,

earth, fire,

sky and wind.

Why are you looking around? - No...

We've found the number, I'm just seeing if we find a clue. - Clue.

It's so hot here, there's no breeze.

What did you say?

There's no breeze. - Breeze!

Earth, fire,

water, sky and wind.

I think all the five elements connect here.

Lord Shiva's temples

that reflects all five elements

are in Thiruvannamalai, Kancheepuram,

Sri Kalahasti, Chidambaram

Thiruvanaikaval. They are all built in

one straight line.

Five temples. Five temples of Lord Shiva. We see one there.

Sameera, phone?

You will stand in the direction of the right foot

of Lord Natraj's idol in Chidambaram.

Guys,

we're standing in the exact line of those five temples. - What?

Are you serious? - Show me. - Yeah.

Like mentioned in the clue, the temples are built in one line.

The line going to the southern side is moving in this direction.

See. - Is there a way to go there? - Phone.

We're in the center of the line, like you just said.

So, which direction do we move, north or south?

Let's stick to what we decided first. Let's go south.

Yeah. - Let's start, guys.

Let's go.

Why are you doing that? Let her go.

You can't see her in pain, can you? Do you really want to save her?

Yes...

Okay.

I will give you a chance.

It's in your hands. - My hands?

Tell me what should I do.

Is the life of this girl

whom you hardly know important

or is the life of that innocent cat important for you?

You have to decide.

What decision? - It's simple, Jeevika.

Strangle the cat's neck and kill it.

The sooner you kill the cat,

the sooner you will save her life.

Let's see,

how much pain she can endure.

Stop!

Stop it.

Come on, Jeevika.

No! No...

Time is running out. It's all in your hands.

Please stop it.

What are you doing?

Please...

Jeevika, she is dying. - Don't!

Come on, do something.

Kill it!

Kill it, Jeevika. Yes! Come on, you can do it.

Yes, Jeevika.

You killed that cat!

How does it feel, Jeevika?

It feels good, right?

Welcome to the club.

Guys, which side do we travel?

Let's go right. - Does that look like a road?

Let's go this side, bro.

I agree with Dushyant.

What... - Phone?

A man saw the path of his life

split into two directions.

Confused, he chose to travel on one of those roads.

He was pondering over where could the other road have led him

and forgot to live in the moment.

Guys...

Okay, so if we choose one road,

and think that we could have chosen the other road,

we'd miss what we want.

So, I think we should go in both directions.

Yes, let's go in both directions. Split up, guys. - Okay.

Dharna, start the car. Let's go.

What are you doing?

We found a blade one week ago.

We've just managed to cut it halfway through.

If one of us escapes,

we can at least save the others.

How will you escape from here, even if you manage to cut the chain?

Hold on, I'll show you.

Do you think this will take you out?

No one has ever escaped so far.

I think it should take me out.

Dharna, stop here.

Wait.

I feel we're going on the wrong path.

Why do you feel so?

I don't know, but I feel so.

Call them and find out where they are.

Okay.

Not reachable.

Okay, take a U-turn.

Come on, go back.

I'm not able to cut it.

He might come back. Make it fast.

I have an idea.

How do you know this is it?

I read in the book.

Did you notice anything else?

Vikramaditya went in search of Vetal, the spirit

into the dark woods.

The life he went looking for, was hidden behind

a banyan tree, in a ruined building.

Shall we go this side?

Should we? - Yes.

Bro, stop the bike.

Why? What's wrong?

How far will we keep going?

We'll keep taking rounds in the same place.

This road seems endless. - Try to call them.

Stop! Stop... Please stop, sir.

Don't you watch the road ahead?

Are you okay?

How do we get to the main road from here?

Where do you want to go?

We were a group of friends who traveled together from Cholayur.

But we were separated.

Now, we have lost our way.

How do we get to the main road?

Go straight on this road for twelve

kilometers to reach the main road.

A fire dragon

took it away to its den.

Where did a dragon come from?

What are you doing here, at this hour? - Sir...

Hold on, don't be scared. Tell me.

A man has abducted five girls like me

and held us captive, sir. - He has held five girls captive?

Come on, get into my car. - Sir, he is very dangerous.

Sir... He is... - I will handle that.

You don't get scared. Just get inside the car. Come on.

Does the place you read in the book looked like this?

I am not sure, but it mentioned a ruins behind

a banyan tree. - Are there chances of Jeevika being here?

Maybe, yes.

She could definitely be inside. - If there is one percent

chance of Jeevika being inside, we shall go there. Come.

Hey, hold on.

Looks like a car is coming this side. - What?

Here? - You go ahead, let me check.

You go. Go...

Sir... - What is it? - Thank God, you're here.

Who are you? Who else is with you? - Sir, please hear me out.

Sir, he isn't the man.

How do you know that? He could be an accomplice.

What are you doing at this hour? Who else is with you?- I'll explain.

Answer me. - I came alone, sir. - Are you familiar with this route?

Hey, who are you? - Sir, please listen to me.

I came in search of my friend. - But I've a

strong suspicion on you. Get in both of you. Go.

I said leave!

Get going, madam. Go. - Sir, I'm feeling scared.

Go on, dude.

Jeevika!

Jeevika!

'Jeevika!'

'Jeevika!' - Sameera! - 'Jeevika!'

Are you here? - Jeevika, just hang on. I'll be back soon.

Sameera!

I am here, Sameera.

'This number can't be...'

Madam, we're just going in rounds.

Do you know the route or not?

Somewhere here, sir. Let's search. - Sir, she is looking.

Don't scream and get her tensed, sir.

Hey, how dare you tutor me?

Fine. Why are you getting angry?

With all this, I strongly feel it is you...

Don't be absurd, sir. - Sir! Sir!

Sir, he is innocent. - Get lost!

Sir, she is a girl. Don't... - Kneel! - Sir!

I said kneel down!

Sir! - Do as I say.

Sir, he is innocent. - Don't you stare at me.

How do you know this spot? - Sir!

It's not him. - Hey, shut up.

He is innocent, sir. - Hey!

You better confide now. Hey, won't you listen?

You die first. - Please don't, sir.

Run away.

Who are you?

How are you connected to this?

Answer me.

Sir!

Is it just him or does he have company?

A girl who escaped from here.

Go find her. - Okay!

Sir, please let me go.

Come along. - Sir!

You said it was just him.

Tie her up.

Sir!

Leave me.

Hold her. - Leave me alone.

Dharna, I know where Jeevika is.

She's locked in the underground. - Hey!

Don't hit a girl.

Who are you guys?

Such a nuisance.

I spotted two people on my way.

Are you all friends?

Let them come.

I'll handle. Hey!

Let her go. - She's the only one to escape from me.

Let her go.

Leave her, you rotten pschyo!

Hey, stay quiet. - Leave her. Leave her alone!

Don't harm her.

Hey!

Your friends will have the same end.

Do you want to know why I am telling you?

Hey!

As you won't be alive to witness it.
