BANNERGHATTA

-Aashiq? -Yes, Faizal brother...

My sister is not well. I'm taking her to the hospital.

What happened to her?

Nothing serious. Just a slight fever.

Thought not to take a risk.

What happened?

Nothing, for a party trip.

It's alright. You take care of her.

Okay.

MOTHER

What happened, mother?

I've been trying to call her.

Her phone is off.

Don't keep calling her unnecessarily.

Her phone might be dead.

She'll call you when she switches it on.

I'm driving.

She'll reach at 5 in the morning.

Don't fall asleep.

This isn't the first time.

Don't keep calling simply.

You get to sleep. Where's father?

He slept.

Okay, cut the call. I'll call you.

Okay?

Hello...

Has our son slept?

He's playing.

Will he sleep by the time I reach?

He'll sleep when he feels like.

I'm on a trip for Faizal brother.

It's a headache.

Listen, what's for dinner?

Rice and fish curry.

Okay.

-Did you call to ask this? -No.

Listen...

Shall I come over after my trip?

You'll get fish curry from the hotel. You don't have to come here for that.

Tell me Selvan...

-You bought car? -Yes.

You could have used that money to take back the mortgaged gold.

I don't want her to curse me more.

I won't get work without a car.

She went to her house with our son.

She said she would come back only after I give her gold back.

It's alright. I'll take it back when we get the money.

Listen, will we get the money?

Don't expect anything from it.

Have I ever asked you for the accounts?

It's okay. I trust you.

Give me whenever you get.

You can count on me man. Don't worry.

Yes, things will get better.

Everyone has their own struggles.

I'm on a trip. I'll call you later.

Okay.

-Aashi... -Hamsa brother...

Where are you?

Here only. Tell me the matter.

Tell me where you are.

I'm at home. What's the matter?

-Did you get anything?-No.

I was speaking to Selvan.

He said the loan hasn't been sanctioned.

Why is Selva behaving like this?

I haven't got a penny.

I've even mortgaged my wife's ornaments.

I've been getting notice from the bank daily.

Aashi, there's a risk in all business.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have invested.

I've got trapped now.

Wasn't it you and Selvan who persuaded me to invest in this?

No, I just accompanied him. That's all.

There's no use in saying that now. We've lost the money.

There's no other way now than believing what he says.

Yes, there's no other way.

Listen, I heard he's in debt.

He might betray us since we're naive.

I want to see how he's going to betray me.

Brother, can I call you later?

-How's your wife doing?-She's doing good.

Okay, I'll call you later.

Alright.

I won't come back without getting my gold back.

[grocery list]

Are you mad at me?

When will you bring it?

How about tomorrow morning?

Don't forget anything. I need it all.

Is it dad?

Mom, give me the phone. I want to talk to him.

-Didn't he sleep yet?-No.

He won't sleep at night if he takes an afternoon nap.

Then shall I come over?

You need not come here without bringing my gold.

Give me the phone.

Shut up! Go and sleep.

Please give him the phone. Let me talk to him.

Here, your dad.

Hello dad...

-Naju...-Dad!

-Are you playing?-No.

Why didn't you come home today?

-Shall I sing a song for you?-No.

-Then I'll tell you a story.-Ghost story.

Oh, you like ghost stories?

Yes.

Okay, I'll tell you one.

-But you should listen carefully.-Okay.

Once upon a time, there was a fisherman.

When we he went to the sea one day to catch fish,

He gets a bottle from the ocean.

And there is a ghost inside it.

The ghost eats the fisherman.

Then, he puts the ghost back in the bottle and kills it.

Oh God! So, you aren't scared of ghosts?

No.

Then I'll tell you another scary story.

One day I was coming back from a trip alone.

The road was empty.

Utter darkness.

It was foggy and the road was slightly visible from the car's light.

And?

Also it was freezing cold.

It was so cold that I couldn't even open the window.

As I went forward, I thought I saw a figure walking in the road ahead me.

When I came closer, I realised it was a woman.

An old woman in rags.

Don't you know that crazy blind old woman who simply roams around?

-Yes! -Just like her.

She was carrying a bag.

She didn't even turn and look when she saw my car's light.

Naju, slept?

No.

And my car passed her.

As I sat wondering where she would going at night,

I saw a woman again, walking in the road carrying a bag.

I slowed down the car.

When I looked carefully,

it was the same lady.

I was horrified.

I picked up speed and passed her without stopping.

And?

When I looked in the mirror of the car, I saw...

The very thought of it is giving me creeps.

What did you see?

Her face drenched in blood.

Are you scared?

Let me know if you are.

No.

And I increased the speed.

As I went forward,

I saw her again.

She was standing in front of my car.

I didn't know what to do since the car was moving at a high speed.

I just closed my eyes and applied the brake with full force.

Oh no!

What happened then? Did the car hit her?

Wait, I'll tell.

When I looked, there was no one in front of the car.

Slowly I opened the window and looked out.

I was shocked to see it.

Dad...

Don't worry, I'll tell.

Have you seen butchered heads of animals at the slaughterhouse?

Yes!

Just like that there was a man's head in her bag.

Head?

Blood was dripping from that bag.

I saw his face clearly in that red light.

-Do you know whose head it was?-Whose?

Dad...

You a******!

How can you speak like that in front of the boy?

-This is enough. -Mom, give me the phone.

You dimwit!

What's it, mom?

Her phone is still off.

If you've her friend's phone number, please call her and ask.

Please don't worry. Just relax.

I'll call.

I am...

Hello...

Aashiq...

Did you say anything to Hamsa?

No, he'd called me. What happened?

Why do you have to talk about it to him?

I see you as my brother.

But I didn't tell anything to him.

And he's a halfwit. Not like us.

Halfwit or not, nobody can kill me.

Understood?

I felt bad seeing your situation. That's why I helped you.

If there's anything, tell it to my face like real men.

I don't need to do so, brother.

I don't want us to fight over money.

It's my wife who calls if there is any need.

She calls even if I tell her not to.

I know your situation very well.

Alright.

Don't play with me.

What?

I spoke to Hamsa.

Selva got to know of it and shouted at me.

Please mind your own business.

Can't you stop this nosy habit of yours?

I didn't want to call, but I just couldn't.

Why should we bother about Hamsa?

Don't you know Selva is our only hope?

Do one thing. Please talk to Selva.

No, I won't talk. Solve it yourself.

No, he's scared of you.

So he'll listen to you.

Please call and talk.

You!

Okay, put on con-call.

It's not that I don't know to talk to him. But it'd end badly.

Hello...

My wife is there on the line.

Please talk to her.

Yes.

Brother, it's me. Can you hear?

Tell me.

Can you give us the money by this month?

I'm trying for a loan.

I'll give in two months.

Two months?

Didn't I give him some money last week?

Likewise, I'll pay as installments.

Last week? To whom?

I didn't know.

Hey, the car was bought with that money.

Didn't you say you took a loan for it?

I was thinking of taking a loan. That's when Selva gave me the money.

I won't have to pay the interest then.

So I used it for the car.

You could have used it to take back her gold at least.

I had told him.

Brother, don't give the money to him anymore.

This gold was given to me by my parents.

He's of no use to me.

Had it not been for my son, I'd have left him long back itself.

What are you saying?

Trust me. Things will be fine.

He's like that. You know him, right?

Brother, she hung up.

How can you be so stupid?

It's not that...

Now call everyone and tell them what I said.

Do whatever you want.

Where are you?

Brother, now only the interview got over.

I was the last candidate.

You could have called and informed us.

Sorry.

The signal was weak inside the building.

Please call mother.

She's not understanding.

-Where are you now?-I left from there.

I've to take a bus to the railway station.

What time is the train?

I guess 9.30 p.m.

I'll reach the station by that time.

Why so much time?

Try to get there at the earliest.

It's 25 km from here.

Hello...

Hello Ashi...

Can you hear me?

It's raining here. I can't hear anything.

Okay, get on the bus fast.

Don't forget to call mom.

Dad...

Darling, where's your mom?

She's angry at you.

-Tell me the rest. -Where did I stop?

-There was a head in the bag. -Is it?

-Will you sleep if I tell you that?-Yes.

Okay.

That bag was swaying.

When I looked at the bag carefully, I saw what was inside.

Do you know whose head it was?

Dad, tell me. Whose head was it?

Dad, tell me. Please.

Naju, I'll call you back.

Brother, there are no buses to the railway station from here.

Why?

One lady said there has been a landslide somewhere.

What do I do now?

-Can you hear me? -See if you can get a cab.

I checked. There are no cabs nearby.

Not even one?

There are no rickshaws also.

Check if there is any auto stand nearby.

I don't see anyone here.

Don't stand alone.

Go to some place where there are people.

Call your friend.

You could have stayed there itself today.

She's living in the town.

Wait, don't hang up. I see a red board there.

It's written in Kannada. I don't understand anything.

There's a car here. I think it's a cab.

Let me check if the driver is there.

Aashi, be careful. Don't worry.

Can I get to Bangalore?

[speaks in Kannada]

Sorry, do you know English?

What did the driver say?

There are 2-3 men in the car. Looks like they all are drunk.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Move from there.

Go and stand near that lady.

And ask your friend to come and get you urgently.

Just don't worry.

-Aashi, can you hear me?-Bro...

What happened?

Aashi, what happened?

Can you hear me?

Aashi, can you hear?

Aashi!

Hello...

Naju, give the phone to your mom.

I won't.

Please give it to her.

Mom...

Dad is calling.

What's it?

Fati, Ashna went to Bangalore yesterday for an interview.

She was waiting for the bus.

But I think something happened to her.

When did she go?

You didn't tell me

I forgot to tell you. She went yesterday.

Who's there with her?

-Call them. -I don't know who's there.

Why don't you call Jesna?

Mom had told me to call Jesna. But I forgot.

Wait, let me call her.

-Brother... -Where are you?

At home. What happened?

How are your parents?

They are good.

I tried calling Ashi sometime back. But her phone was off.

Where did she reach?

-I also didn't get her on the phone.-Is it?

She's staying with Nimmy.

Why don't you call her?

-Can you send her phone number?-Nimmy's?

Yes.

I'll send now.

Okay.

-Hello... -I'm Ashna's brother.

What happened?

Ashna's phone went off while I was talking to her.

She was at the bus stop near that company.

Can you please go there and check?

-Is it alright?-Yes, I'll go and check.

I'm a little worried.

Don't worry. I'll go and check.

Okay, can you please go fast?

Yes, I'm going.

Okay.

Where have you reached?

I'm on my way.

Aashiq, I need it on time.

The red colored building, right? I'm coming.

Man it's yellow, not red.

I told you yesterday.

Yes, the yellow one.

I'll call you when I reach.

-What did the doctor say? -Where are you at?

I'm there at Thattamangalam. Came for a settlement.

What happened?

Aashana had gone to Bangalore for an interview.

She’s in trouble now.

Interview? Didn't you say she's at the hospital?

Are you playing with me?

Don't think the party would stand with you if you get screwed.

Don't tell me such things.

Got it?

MOTHER

Didn't she call you?

-No. -I spoke with her.

She'll reach in the morning.

I wouldn't have worried if you'd gone with her.

What's it that you're doing which is more important than her?

Hello...

I feel like seeing Naju. Bring him home.

What do you want now? Go to sleep.

Aren't you with Faizal? Did you tell him?

We're not on good terms now.

What? Didn’t you say you're going with him?

When?

Didn't you say you're taking him somewhere?

I'll tell you everything when I see you.

I think it's better we don't see each other anymore.

Everything between us ends today.

Dammit!

What were you saying about Ashna?

Tell me.

She went to Bangalore yesterday to attend an interview.

It finished only now.

There weren't any buses since it was raining.

I think someone attacked her at the bus stop.

Her phone is off. What do I do now?

Where did she go for the interview?

Just a minute.

Saira Technologies, Vasant Nagar.

Vasant Nagar?

Wait, I know someone at the Basavanagudi DC office.

I'll contact him. Where are you?

I'm on a trip.

I'll deal with it later. Get back soon.

Dammit!

Hello...

Is there anyone we know in Bangalore?

What did you say?

Is there anyone we know in Bangalore?

Bangalore...

There's one guy... Hari.. What's the matter?

Can you send me his number?

I had lent him 10,000 rupees. Now he doesn't attend my calls.

I'll send you his number. Call and see.

Okay..

Hello, Aashiq... My name is Solomon.

Comrade Faizal told me to call you.

I'm the party secretary of Basavanagudi wing.

Brother...

Faizal told me the matter.

Please help me somehow.

They said the interview finished by 11 a.m. itself.

No, she left from there only some time back.

What if they are lying?

Did she say anything noteworthy?

Noteworthy...

She said the roads are blocked because of the rain.

And there weren't any buses.

Okay, don't worry.

What was the colour of her dress?

-Let me ask.-Okay.

Anyway, send me her photos and phone number.

Okay.

Hello, I've reached here.

Where’s she standing?

Near the bus stop.

Bus stop? I'm standing there only.

-Let me check. -What color dress was she wearing today?

Blue top and black jeans.

Jeans?

-Are you sure?-Yes.

Let me ask around. Don’t worry.

Can you hear?

-Hello... -I've sent the photos.

Okay.

Didn't you say it was raining when you spoke to her last?

Yes.

But it hasn't rained anywhere in the city today.

I heard its sound.

Sure?

In that case, she was at some other place when you spoke to her.

I'm sure.

Anyway, I'll forward this to the police.

Okay, stay strong.

Hello...

How far is it from the company to your room?

Just a walkable distance.

To the railway station?

Around 3 km.

What if she has reached there?

I asked here. But nobody knows anything.

I spoke to her last from the room.

She didn't call me after that.

Okay, go back to your room. I've informed the police.

I need to....

It's 25 km to the station.

It's raining here. I can't hear anything.

But it hasn't rained anywhere in the city today.

What happened, dear?

She had an affair while in college.

He's there in Bangalore now.

She had asked me about him yesterday.

-I'll send you his contact number. -Okay.

-Jamsheer?-Yes.

-I'm Ashna's brother.-Hey, where have you reached?

Shall I send you the location? Or should I come to the junction?

Are you poking fun at me?

Hello brother...

What did you say?

Give the phone to Ashna.

Who? I didn't understand.

You!

Tell the matter first and then shout.

It's my sister's wedding tomorrow. I'm busy here.

In between that...

Whose sister?

My sister is getting married tomorrow.

You're calling me in between that and saying...

You’re not in Bangalore now?

Didn't I tell you? I'm at home.

It's my sister's wedding tomorrow.

Did Ashna say that she'd be coming there today?

Is there any problem?

She said she's an interview today and won't be able to come.

Yes, she hasn't returned from Bangalore yet.

Her phone is off since 8.30 p.m.

I don't know where she is.

She had told she has a boyfriend in Bangalore.

Do you know his details?

She hasn't told anything much.

It's a Christian boy...

His name is Titto I guess.

The interview was at his company.

Yes...

Okay, I'll call you.

Inshah Allah.

Can I call you back?

Hey...

Where are you?

Aashiq...

It's just a possibility.

It's rained only at one place in Bangalore today.

At Bannerghatta, which is 30 km from the city.

-Bannerghatta?-Yes.

It's a forest area spread over an area of 250 km.

It's a problematic place.

Why would she go alone to such a place?

Does she have a boyfriend?

I don't know. She hasn't told me anything.

-Did you contact the police?-I've sent her number to the cyber cell.

Since she's a Malayali, they are not much interested.

Our party has some limitations.

She has a friend named Titto.

He's working at the company where she went for the interview.

-Can you please find him?-Okay.

-Same company? -Yes.

Then it's easy. His name is Titto, right?

-Yes.-Okay, I'll call you.

Okay.

Hello...

Hey, I'm Gireesh's friend Aashiq.

Where are you now?

I'm Gireesh's friend.

Who?

Aashiq!

Aasif?

Hey, it's Aashiq.

Even if you call from a different number, I'll understand your voice.

I don't want anyone's money.

I didn't call for that. Can you move from there?

Tell me.

I need your help urgently.

Do you know anyone working at Saira Technologies in Vasant Nagar?

-It's an emergency.-I don't take orders directly.

Do one thing. Order on Swiggy.

-What?-Swiggy!

Are you drunk?

Cut the call!

Hello...

Man he's so frigging drunk.

Do you know anyone in Bangalore who'd be in their right mind?

It's an emergency.

Let me check.

Where are you?

I'm coming. Listen...

What was the color of the building, JK?

Man it's yellow. How many times should I tell?

Yes, yellow!

Listen, do you know anyone in Bangalore?

Hey, I'll do whatever you want.

-Please bring it first. -Yes, sure.

This is Titto's number.

I'm going to the police station.

Hello, who's this?

Dear, where's Titto?

Pappa is bathing.

Can you give the phone to him?

How can I give when he's bathing?

I'm playing a game.

What's this, uncle?

Let me play the game until Pappa comes.

Which game are you playing?

Son, can you give the phone to mummy?

Mummy is not here.

Mummy...

She has gone to office.

Which car is it?

Omini?

Uncle...

Uncle, we've an Alto at home.

-Alto? Which car is it?

Don't you know Alto?

One minute. I'll show you.

Okay.

This is Alto.

Does Pappa go out in this car?

Yes, why else would we use a car?

Didn't you see?

Okay, bye.

Whose shoe is this?

It's Pappa's. It's full of mud.

Would it always be muddy like this?

No.

Appu...

Appu...

Appu, haven't I told you not to play games on the phone?

Hello, who's this?

I'm Ashna's brother.

Hey, send me your number for online money transfer.

-What?-Online money transfer.

I don't want anyone's money. I'll transfer it now itself.

Hang up for God's sake.

Did you arrive at the police station? What are they saying?

They are interested in me more than your sister.

They are asking my details.

Why is it so?

They are not interested. Simple!

What's happening with the cyber cell?

They are searching.

Did you contact Titto?

It's him only. He hung up when I said who I am.

Hello brother...

Brother...

Brother...

There are 2-3 people in the car.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

It's not a taxi.

I don't see anyone here.

Brother...

There are no buses to the railway station from here.

Why?

One lady said there has been a landslide somewhere.

What do I do now?

Can you hear?

See if you can get a cab.

I checked.

Go and stand near that lady.

And ask your friend to come and get you urgently.

Relax first.

-Aashi, can you hear me? -Bro...

Aashi!

Relax first.

-Aashi, can you hear me? -Bro...

Relax first.

-Aashi, can you hear me? -Bro...

Aashi!

Aashi, what happened?

Bro, did you call to this number?

-What happened? -I...

My car has broken down.

-Is it been a long time? -Yes.

What will you do now?

There are no workshops nearby.

Do you need any help?

No, I've informed my friend. He's bringing a mechanic.

-Will they come? -Yes.

Okay.

Is there water in it?

-What? -Water.

Yes!

-Let me give it to them also. -What?

-They also want it. -Okay.

Bro, I'm at the Bannerghatta taxi stand.

I don't see anyone here.

She said there was a lady near the bus stop.

Only hookers would be here at this time.

My sister was standing there. Was she a hooker then?

No, that's not what I meant.

Damn!

She was somewhere near the bus stop when the call disconnected.

-Please check there.-Yes, sure.

Have you got the RC book and other documents?

Yes, sir.

Your phone is ringing. Aren't you attending it?

Attend it.

It's a friend.

Attend it.

Why didn't you pick up? I called many times.

Say something.

There's a small problem. My car has broken down.

Idiot! Are you playing with us?

It's worth millions.

Oh, I forgot.

Even in school, you were empty headed.

What should I do? Would it be a problem if the police come?

Problem? We would all be thrown behind bars.

Okay, I'll call you.

-Come out. -What?

-Come out. -What's the matter?

My car has broken down.

I'll leave as soon as it starts.

Hey...

-Do you have a license. -Yes, sir.

Bring the license and RC book.

Come.

Is this you?

It's me only.

-It's not clear. -It's old.

That too a Tamil Nadu license!

Born in Kerala but license is from Tamil Nadu.

Alright, show him.

Give me the key.

Go.

Sir...

-Where are you off to? -Pollachi.

Pollachi? For what?

Sir...

I do fabrication work. I'm going to the site.

I'm going for that.

Show.

-License? -Here.

Bro, I found a phone from the road.

-Model... -Is it Samsung?

Yes, it is.

It's been smashed to pieces.

Try to switch it on.

-Does it have a screen lock? -I don't know.

Wait, let me check.

Sir, look here.

Bro, one lady is standing there.

Let me ask her.

Akka...

[speaks in Kannada]

Hey!

Hey!

-Sir, just a minute. -Sir is calling you.

He and his bloody phone!

What? What's she saying?

Sir, one minute.

Why is there blood?

My car hit some animal. I didn't see since it was dark.

Or have you killed someone?

Sir, my sister went to Bangalore for an interview and now she's missing.

Something happened to her. I want my phone back.

Please.

-This isn't what you said earlier. -Did you ask me?

What?

Sir, there's something fishy.

Let's search him thoroughly.

Sir, I don't have anything. My car has broken down.

We understood. Wait there.

Turn.

-Sir, I don't have anything. -Don't move.

Banned stuff.

Sir, I don't have anything.

Tell us the truth.

-Sir, please give me my phone. -Go stand there.

-Sir... -Move aside.

Sir, while you were checking his papers, he was looking at the car.

Yes, sir.

I also noticed it. But his documents are legit.

Sir, can I please attend that call?

Wait there.

Check if there are any hidden compartments.

-Good evening, sir. -Good evening.

Tomorrow's meeting is at town hall, right?

Yes, sir.

At 10 a.m.

What's going on here?

-No problem, right? -Just routine checking.

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Alright.

Where to?

There isn't anything here. There is no use in checking.

Sir...

Sir, can I please attend that call?

It's urgent.

Sir, please tell him.

Sir...

It's urgent. Can I please attend it?

Sir!

-Please... -Hey!

-What's happening? -Sir, please give me the phone.

Under the car?

Sir, it's an urgent call. It's my sister.

Sir, please...

Sir...

Sir, please listen to me.

Sir...

Sir, just give me my phone.

Sir, I'll attend and stay quiet.

Sir...

Sir, I'll take only the phone.

Sir, please...

Sir, just one call.

Sir... please, sir.

Sir, just one call.

Sir...

Sir, please...

Sir, just one call.

Sir, it's very urgent.

Please...

Sir, just this call alone.

Sir, just this call alone.

Sir, that's the last call.

Please...

Stop there.

Catch him!

Run!

Stop there!

Stop!

Stop there!

Hey!

Stop there!

Hello, Aashiq...

-How many times did I call you? -Tell me.

-I saw your sister. -Where's she?

Tell me.

There's a small problem. Why are you panting?

She's okay, right?

Is she fine?

Aashi...

Hello Aashi...

Can't you hear me?

What's the problem?

Hey, don't worry. She's absolutely fine.

It was not what we thought.

Many illegal minings are happening in Bannerghatta.

There was a protest by some extreme activists against it today evening.

Their men handed over these activists to the police.

Your sister was also arrested by mistake.

How?

She had an affair with Titto.

They got into an argument when she came to know he has a family.

She refused to go with him.

Just a minute.

She's come. I'll give the phone to her.

Yes, give.

Aashi...

I'm safe.

What happened?

What are you doing there?

We've found cocaine worth 5 millions from an Omni van at Instrumentation road.

The culprit has been taken into custody.

Is it clear? Control Mobile 1, Over!
