Hello...

Hello Chitra...

Chitra hello...

Hello...

Hello Chitra...

Did you visit the doctor?

Yes. I did.

What are the reports saying?

Diabetes has been detected.

What? How?

Dear sister,

doctor has given me the medicines. I am taking them.

I hope you are not being careless.

You know that you have already been through a heart attack all of a sudden.

I know that.

Please don't remind me repeatedly that I am a heart patient.

I feel that pressure on my mind.

What pressure?

Hello? Are you there?

What are you talking about? What pressure?

Hello...

Take the medicines first. Else, sir will be angry at you.

Hello... say something. I am asking you something.

Go from here. Go!

What?

Hello?

Go! - Hello, Chitra?

Who was that?

Kausalya.

You will meet her when you visit me.

Last month, while coming back from my walk,

I found her sitting near the gate and crying.

Her husband left her. Poor woman!

Where would she go in such a case?

To tell you the truth, she is of a great help to me. And she cooks really well.

Yesterday she made some really nice curry of Patoda or something.

This curry is made in Nagpur.

Yesterday, my husband was asking me to make it.

Make me some tea.

Can you send the recipe?

Yes, I will send it.

I have a book of Chef Sanjeev somewhere in the shelves.

I will send you a picture of it.

Did you add sugar in both the cups?

Yes.

Don't you understand?

I'll call you back. - You know that she is diabetic, right?

Sister, I will call you back.

You stupid woman...

Are our lives different from each other?

Whatever is in her life, is in my life as well.

Remember this.

There will be no sugar in this house today onwards.

[Crying]

Bloody absent minded!

[Crying]

Don't cry!

It was a mistake.

Bring a cup of tea in the sitout.

Add a lot of ginger in it.

He will be fine.

Why were you so angry at her?

What is it?

I don't want to lose you at this point in life.

Yesterday I spoke to Bhanudas. There is some Vaidya (doctor) in Jaipur.

He treats diabetes overnight. Shall we visit him next week?

[Laughs]

Look at yourself Uday. Are you a kid?

Why are you behaving like a kid then?

Listen, I am not dying so early, okay?

Please...

Please don't say something like this.

Please...

It troubles me.

Uday...

Uday...

Tea!

Uday!

Look at that sir.

They have pushed their boundary and constructed the fence wall.

They have pushed the net as well.

Okay. Okay.

How many times shall we tell them?

I will mention this point in it. - [Cellphone rings]

We will have to take some action.

Just a minute.

Yes sister-in-law!

Bhanu.

Tell me.

Are you busy?

Uh... No. I have a client who has a land dispute. I am here with him.

Tell me.

Since a couple of days, Uday is behaving weird.

His love has become aggressive all of a sudden.

[Laughs]

Has his love become aggressive? Nice way of describing it.

No Bhanu,

I have got diabetes, but he is acting more and more violent.

With you?

No no no... not with me. With others around.

The way he yelled at Kausalya today...

she started crying.

I have never seen Uday like this before.

Is he taking his anxiety pills?

No.

When he felt slightly better, he stopped taking the pills.

You know what Bhanu,

since his last film was a flop, he is going into a depression.

He doesn't want to do anything else.

Okay,

I will try talking to him.

Bhanu please,

please talk to him.

Yes.

To tell you the truth,

the amount of rage which I saw in Bhanu's eyes today,

I had never seen it before.

What are you doing in our property?

Who are you?

This is our piece of land.

Hey... hey... this is our piece of land.

Hey... stop shouting.

What shouting? What are you saying huh?

Okay, okay... don't worry. I will talk to him.

Hey... wait... wait... wait. Wait a moment.

'And the best writer award goes to Uday Rohekar. '

Give me that butter.

Here. - Pass the flour.

[Cellphone rings]

And give me a spoon.

Give me a spoon.

Who is that?

Just a minute. - Keep stirring this. Take this.

Yes sister, tell me!

Weren't you supposed to call back?

Yes, sorry, very sorry.

He was very angry. So I started making pasta.

I thought that might calm him down.

That reminds me, you were going to send the recipe of the curry.

You seem to have forgotten about it.

Oh, yes yes.

I am sending it. Just give me 2 minutes.

Yes. Okay. - Okay.

Keep stirring this.

Keep stirring this. Don't let it clot.

I will be right back.

What? Where are you going?

Going for a walk. I was feeling suffocated.

But it is raining.

I am wearing this raincoat.

Come back soon. - Yes.

Madam!

Madam, please come fast!

What happened?

What? What happened?

Come with me. There is a problem madam.

What?

What did you do?

Kausalya?

What did you do? How did this become so watery?

Uh... It was looking thick. So I...

So you poured water in it?

Yes. And it became watery.

Who told you to do this?

Madam, madam please don't get angry.

You should have called me once.

You are already not well.

Please don't get angry. - Kausalya you should leave.

You should leave. Go home.

Shall I make it again? - Your duty is over anyway. You go home.

Whatever you have done is enough. You should go.

And take a couple of 'Puranpoli' (Sweet) while going home.

You can have it for dinner. Oh god!

This one?

Are you leaving?

Madam...

What is it?

I was saying...

sorry!

Thank you!

Leave for now.

Sorry!

God, she is so dumb.

Wow! Delicious! Amazing!

Really?

Yes.

I made it in such a rush.

That Kausalya, she made it as thin as a curry.

Where did you find that one of a kind woman?

She is so stupid.

Send her on a leave for a couple of days.

Why?

I am having some guests over.

I don't want any drama in front of them.

Your guests?

Who are they?

I know I grew in an orphanage. But can't I have friends?

Now, this Baby Tai (Sister) of yours,

she is not your real sister.

But she comes here and stays at least for a month.

Similarly, this guy is a very dear friend of mine.

But why do we need to send Kausalya on leave.

It will be better if she is here to help.

She has arrived just a month ago.

We used to manage everything by ourselves before she came.

Just listen to what I am saying.

I need privacy. Send her on a leave...

Uday!

I am sorry.

Who is this Deepak Samartha?

What?

I saw a script upstairs.

You generally don't keep other's scripts with you.

Uh...

He is like a student of mine. He met me in a workshop.

Last year, the film institute held a masterclass conducted by me.

He met me there. He was a student there.

He was a bright student.

He came to me like a school going boy with my 'Apaghat' book in his hand.

He took my autograph on it.

Since then, I remember him and his name.

Deepak Samartha!

He has written that script.

He is from a small town.

He said that he has got a producer.

The producer told him that he should polish the script a little more.

Who knows what the reality is.

But he has written a fairly nice script.

Let's see what can be done.

Shall I ask something if you don't mind?

Yes.

Did this script come to you 2 days ago?

Yes. Why?

Are you upset after reading it?

Don't make a fuss of a mall thing.

Damn... You spoilt all my mood.

Uday...

Uday...

[Thunderclap]

Uday!

Uday!

Uday!

[Thunder rumbling]

Uday!

[Thunder rumbling]

Uday!

[Thunder rumbling]

Uday!

[Thunder rumbling]

Uday!

Oh, it's you!

The breakfast is ready. Come, have it.

And I have kept your medicines also. Take it,

otherwise you will fall sick again.

I am going to the market to buy some grocery.

Madam,

are you not feeling well?

Haven't you slept properly?

No,

I am fine.

You go,

go to the market.

Sir will also come down now.

Yes.

There is a parcel for sir. Please check.

I am coming.

Shall I leave?

Yes.

Hey, it is mine.

Why are you touching my things? This is for my work.

What?

Be careful.

Oh!

Uday, what is all of this?

Uday.

What is this?

What are you upto? Why have you put all these weapons on the display here?

What is happening to you? - Hey, don't be afraid.

I am not doing anything wrong.

I have thought of a plot.

This is just for its rehearsal.

It is looking perfect.

Uday... but!

I am hungry. You haven't given me any breakfast as yet. Come on, let's go!

[Rustling]

[Laughs]

[Cellphone rings]

Yes Chitra!

Bhanu, where are you?

What happened?

Bhanu,

Uday is behaving very weirdly.

What did he do now?

Bhanu, I cannot tell you on the phone. Please, you... you come here right now.

Okay, okay.

Yes. Come soon.

[Gasps]

Can I ask you something?

Yes, go ahead.

Are you firing me from my job?

Uh...

No...

we are...

getting pest control done in our house.

What?

Medicines.

Yes... yes...

So we are going out of the town for a couple of days.

That's why I asked you to stay at home for a couple of days.

Okay.

But now I consider this house to be mine as well.

I am not going anywhere.

I will stay at home for a couple of days.

Bye.

See this.

A night before, he dig this pit.

He has bought the police handcuffs online.

And last night, he was wearing his raincoat

and pulling a big bag of stones as if he was pulling a dead body.

Yes.

Okay, now where is he?

I don't know.

He has gone somewhere all of a sudden.

I am not understanding his behaviour these days.

He met a new writer at the workshop.

He sent Uday some script and since then, everything is going wrong.

I know what is wrong with him.

You must have realised this by now.

He is used to the life of fame and glamour.

He has to go to eight to ten events at least as a chief guest,

go for filmy parties. Else, he feels restless.

But, since last two years,

all four of his films have been flops.

So his fame is decreasing.

And now you are telling me that some new writer has sent a script.

If it is a good script,

Uday might be feeling insecure.

So he might be a little grumpy.

But...

Don't worry.

This is just a passing phase.

Nothing to worry about.

[Doorbell rings]

I'll be right back.

Hey,

where have you been without informing?

I was...

Where is he?

Look at him.

Samartha, please come.

Since yesterday you have been asking me who is Deepak Samartha.

He is Deepak Samartha.

Sister-in-law.

Yes. Yes.

No. No.

Sir,

can I get some water.

Oh, yes. He has come from far away. Can you arrange for some refreshments please?

Yes. Yes. Please come in.

Please.

Shoes? - No problem. Come on.

Come inside.

Uday!

Oh my God! Such a pleasant surprise!

Great personalities like you are visiting us today.

Mister lawyer,

how did you think of visiting us all of a sudden?

You are too busy to even think of me these days. So I thought I should pay a visit.

You should have called me before coming.

We wouldn't have met if I had come any later.

Okay,

let me introduce you.

Mr. Deepak Samartha.

Yes sir.

Deepak, he is a very close friend of mine.

Bhanudas Sukhatme. And he is our lawyer too.

Hello.

Hello.

What do you do?

I am...

Give it to me.

I am... I am a writer.

I mean, budding writer.

I... I had some contacts here, so I sent a script of mine to a producer in Mumbai...

He loved the story. But he said, I should develop it a little.

So, I had done a workshop with sir.

So, I thought, if sir helps me out with this...

I mean some guidance from him would be...

But only if sir wishes to... If that happens, my career would take off.

Ya, that's too much Deepak.

Okay, there, on the right is your room.

You go and freshen up. Then we will have lunch.

Yes...

Uh... shoes?

Yes. Take it along. Hey, you can take it along. With your hands?

I don't want to litter the house. I will take it.

[Laughs]

Hey, where did you find this character?

He... he had come for a workshop I conducted.

He is a fair writer.

And I also needed an assistant. So I asked him to come.

Good. Okay, I'll take you leave. I have an appointment.

Hey, wait.

No, I am already late. Chitra called...

Okay... I will leave. Bye.

Yes. See you. - Bye... bye...

Hey, please cook something for the dinner.

Yes.

You did not tell me that he is coming.

I had informed you about it.

That a guest coming over.

But you never told me that he was coming over.

Uday, please!

Please tell me what are you upto?

Come on!

I am upto nothing.

Poor guy has come from a small village.

What are you thinking about when I am just trying to help him.

Uday, what are you upto? I am not able to understand anything.

Chitra,

please stop overthinking and stressing out over nothing.

It's not good for your health.

Relax!

He is taking a lot of time.

Let me check.

Deepak...

[Knocking]

Deepak...

[Latch clicks]

Deepak...

Deepak...

Where is he?

[Thunderclap]

Uday!

[Gasps]

Oh... oh... oh... sorry sister.

Sorry sorry... sorry... sorry.

Sorry I was wearing sir's clothes.

Sorry sister!

You know what happened? I... I... I did not bring along a lot of clothes.

In fact, I don't have a lot of clothes.

I washed those which I was wearing today.

And the rest of them, they got wet in the rain.

So I put them in a plastic bag and brought them here.

And I found this old kurta (long shirt) of sir in the closet.

I did not ask you before wearing this. I am sorry.

Yes.

Shall I take it off?

No.

But sister,

this bungalow...

is very beautiful.

This bungalow, the surrounding,

it resembles my village...

And most importantly,

this place is so far away from the city that it is so quiet.

If you kill someone and bury him here,

no one would ever know.

[Laughs]

You join us for dinner. I'll leave.

Yes. I am coming.

Don't be scared.

Deepak, come, have dinner. We are waiting.

Yes.

Sir...

Yes?

You have got such a wonderful collection.

Thank you

Sir, tell me one thing.

This axe... is this axe from 'Killing in the rain'?

Yes.

Oh!

And this dagger...

uh...

from 'One lost night'?

Absolutely.

How...

how do you know... all of this?

He has by heart all my films before coming here.

Uh... sir...

Yes?

Sir, these handcuffs... this...

That... I am writing the next film...

Yes.

It is for that.

Come on. Come for dinner.

I will explain everything to you later in detail. Come here.

Yes.

Ok... keep that plate safely.

Yes.

[Thunderclap]

That's enough.

Sister, what do you know about my script?

I have absolutely no idea what is happening there.

Sir, you are... I mean, you are building suspense in real life as well.

I am a suspense writer from my core.

But tell me one thing.

Apart from you and me, no one else knows about this script right?

Yes.

Good.

Now I will tell you... how I write my scripts. Come on.

Uday!

You asked me some time ago

what do I have these handcuffs for?

While starting with any new script, I keep a property from the story with me.

Now, the next concept which I am writing is related to these handcuffs...

Now, what do you think I will do?

Uday!

Go, bring a chair. I will explain.

Yes.

Keep it here.

Here?

Yes.

So like every time, we will do an action rehearsal.

I mean, I do this with every script I write.

I mean...

I don't really kill people...

[Laughs]

I just enact it with someone.

Oh, so I am your man today?

Yes. Absolutely.

Chitra,

where are the keys to this?

Uh... I don't know.

I mean...

Why would I touch your things?

Uday, listen to me. - What?

Listen to me. Why do you need to do all of this?

I have served the food already. Come on.

Let's eat. Keep it aside.

I have told my student that I will show him all of this.

Uh...

Okay. Those keys. Where are they kept? Where should I look for them?

Listen, Uday. Do you really need to show this right now?

Can't you show this tomorrow morning?

Sister, sister please.

Now that sir is in a good mood, let him tell all of this.

I mean, I will get to learn this. Please, please sister. Please.

We can have food later. Please.

Okay,

guess the price of this.

I think...

Just eighty thousand rupees.

Oh my God!

Yes.

The magician has made this specially for me.

You know that magic trick right?

The magician locks his hand with these cuffs. ...

Uh... Puts himself in the box.

And then the box is thrown in the river along with himself.

And he comes out within two minutes.

Such an interesting act it is!

Yes.

I have heard of this. But never seen it.

It needs money to buy the tickets.

Uh... Can I see those handcuffs?

Yes. Of course.

Uday...

Eighty thousand.

Sir,

its stuck in my hand. Sister, look at this. It is stuck.

Yes. It is stuck.

And anyways, when will you get the opportunity to get tied with the handcuffs!

Uday,

is this some game?

Leave it and get back to the table.

You have seen the handcuffs now.

Keep it back in the shelf. Come on, let's have dinner.

No... no... no... no. no... Not that way. Sit down.

Uh. - Sit down.

Take your hands behind.

Yes. yes. yes.

Now,

You are a prisoner.

No. no... no My Lord.

I have not committed this crime.

Please let me go My Lord. Please.

My parents are waiting for me. My wife and children must be waiting for me My Lord.

I have not committed this crime My Lord. I have not done anything!

[Both laughs]

This is so cool sir.

Sir.

Yes?

You are opening it, right?

Yes. Yes.

The key...

The key... Uh. I am looking for it.

I cannot find the key.

Uday, what are you doing?

Why are you taking that wire out? You are looking for the key...

I can't find it.

Then try harder.

Uday... He... He is so uncomfortable.

Is it? - No, no, I am fine.

But where did this key go?

Can't you still find the key?

No...

I have checked all the drawers.

[Deepak laughs]

I cannot find the key, and you are laughing?

This plot is so good sir.

What?

Sister, please come here.

See how amazing this plot is.

What?

So,

there is a well known writer.

And that well known writer calls a newly budding writer to his house.

His house is far away from the town.

And then the well-known writer cuffs the hands of budding writer

while keeping him engaged in the discussion.

The budding writer is young.

But his hands are tied.

So, even if he wishes to, he cannot do anything.

Taking the advantage of this situation,

the well-known writer goes towards the budding writer and chokes...

Please leave me.

What a brilliant plot!

I got lost in the plot.

But no one should see the new writer coming to the well-known writer's place.

Does anyone know about this?

Where did this come from, Uday?

Just wait for two minutes.

What do you think?

That depends on us...

I mean... You brought me here.

Who has seen me?

So there is no harm in choking you to death with this wire.

What?

Sir, please.

Enough of jokes now. Please leave me.

Sir, I am expecting a call.

My girlfriend will be calling me. Please leave me.

You are expecting a phone call?

Ya, I have given her this number. I had written her a letter.

[Laughs]

The line is dead.

Huh?

This...

this girlfriend of yours?

G... g... girlfriend.

She is my girlfriend sister.

I might look like one of those. But I do have a girlfriend.

That's a great invention...

No.

I was confused for a minute.

But what happened here is...

I trapped you in this at the right moment.

Sir... I...

At the perfect time. - Wh... What are you doing Uday?

Uday... What are you doing? - Sshh... go sit there.

Keep your mouth shut.

Uday...

Uday...

Uday...

[Body thuds]

[Thunderclap]

Relax,

it's me!

Where did you come from?

From here.

I purposely came from here.

Just wanted to check.

if anyone has seen anything.

I took Deepak from here itself.

From this door.

See, there is nothing to worry about.

No one has come here since the evening. Not even a small butterfly.

Except for Deepak.

[Cellphone rings]

Who's this?

Baby,

it's me, Pooja.

Are you angry at me? And are you at home?

How many times should I tell you...

That I should not contact you anytime soon. I know.

But seriously baby, it has been so long that we haven't met.

You don't even pick my calls up these days.

It must have been over by now, right?

Are you out of your mind?

You'll know when it is done.

But how?

But baby... I...

Don't disturb me.

Hello?

Hello baby.

Useless.

Are you alright?

I think I have chest pain.

Shall we call the doctor?

No need.

Pooja,

she doesn't understand what the situation is! She calls me whenever she feels like.

But this is a good time.

'Saapla',

a new film is going to be a superhit. And I will get the whole credit.

Think about the premiere.

I will wear such nice clothes,

with humble and quiet expression.

You will be with me by my side,

wearing the most expensive yet most simple saree.

We are walking on the red carpet.

The whole audience is waving at us. We are waving back at them.

Super hit film.

Media, newspaper, everyone is talking about us. We are getting a lot of money.

[Uday laughs]

Can't you see all of this?

I can only see the blue van of the police.

And besides that, the rope which is used to hang the criminals.

Hey, don't worry.

Police will need ages to catch a smart person like me.

Every criminal thinks the same.

I know you don't agree with what just happened.

But what else could I do?

I needed to do it.

Really?

Was it that necessary Uday?

Uday, you have killed a person? Was it really necessary?

What did you want?

Uday, we have such a good reputation.

My father has left so much money for us. All of this is yours. This house.

This belongs to me. But if you had asked me,

I would have immediately transferred it to your name. Wh...

Why did you do this?

Why did you kill a person?

You murdered him!

What did you want?

For what did you do this?

Car... Chauffeur...

We had enough to maintain everything.

Why... Why did you do this?

You will never know what I really want!

[Doorbell rings]

Police... It is the police at the door. - Wait... No... Don't worry...

Uday, it is the police. They... They know it...

No darling. Don't be scared. - They are here to take you along.

No, there is no police. You calm down. I'll check. You calm down. Okay?

Hey... !

Hey... !

Kausalya?

Kausalya, what are you doing here?

[Sniffs]

It is the smell...

Smell of the blood. Smell of the blood.

I can smell it...

The blood.

Hey... !

Murder...

I can smell it.

The smell of the blood.

Here... Here...

This smell has brought me here.

[Screams]

It has brought me here.

[Groans]

Oh... Pain!

Hey! Hey! Look.

Chitra was going through a chest pain. She is not feeling well.

For what is this weapon? For what is this weapon?

It is for my work. They are used in my film.

The dagger.

The dagger.

It was used by a young woman.

It must have been over by now, right?

The actress from my last film used it.

It will be used again.

[Groans]

Sir.

A young man.

A young man.

A young man. A man will kill sir.

No. But he... - Hey...

Sh... sh... sh... sh...

Yes. He... he... he...

he will kill sir. Sir will be killed.

I can smell it.

I can smell blood.

Sir will be killed.

Kausalya?

Kausalya?

Hey,

are you alright?

Shall I drop you somewhere? - No need.

You take care of yourself.

Hey... Hey...

She knows it. She knows it. She knows about the murder.

No. Not at all. You stop worrying! - No but she...

You don't worry. She has understood nothing.

Hey, be careful. Hey... you need to rest for now.

Yes. She knows it.

No. No one knows it.

Come on. Come on, we will go upstairs. We will take some rest. Come on.

Uday. Yes. She knows. You...

Yes. Yes. I am here. I am here. Come on!

It's nothing.

Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down.

Don't worry. It's nothing.

Sit down. Sit down.

Don't think about anything.

Do you want a sleeping pill?

Will you take a sleeping pill?

Be careful. Be careful

Okay!

Uday!

Yes. Yes. I am right here. Here.

Don't worry.

Uday!

Oh! Uday!

I am right here.

[Door creaks]

[Gasps]

Uday!

Uday!

Uday.

What happened? What happened?

Uday, there... !

Uday, there... !

I'll check.

No. Don't go. - Calm down. I'll check.

Calm down. - No. Don't go.

Calm down.

Uday!

Who's there? Hey... ! - [Screams]

Uday!

Hey, he leave me. Hey. !

Uday... Uday... Uday... Uday... Uday

Uday...

Uday...

[Gasps]

[Uday] You idiot!

[Deepak] Sir, it's done!

Why are you hitting me?

Don't touch me, I am telling you.

Not even my father has hit me ever.

Is... is this how you use a dagger?

It could have harmed me.

Shouldn't it look realistic?

Sister-in-law just got a heart attack.

Oh,

I am so sorry sister. Sorry.

RIP dear sister.

RIP.

And that stupid house maid of yours, Kausalya!

She came here and kept blabbering for nothing.

I was waiting there with all of this mud on my body. It was hurting my eyes too.

She came here is a good thing for us.

I told her that Chitra is having a chest pain.

She must be roaming around the town telling the same story.

And I was telling everyone whom I came across

that Chitra has got a heart problem.

Whatever happened, happened for the good!

Your screenplay is so perfect sir!

I mean, it is the best!

And your signal of turning the lights on and off, that also helped.

I mean, I knew it on the perfect time that I had to take my entry.

You have spoilt the whole house with this mud.

Realistic!

What are you talking about? Go, start cleaning this now.

Yes.

Okay, okay! Wait.

Tell me what is your plan?

What plan?

Now sister is no more.

I was thinking that...

I will stay here and keep writing for a few days.

I'll say goodbye to my poverty.

What say?

What do you mean?

Don't you understand?

We had already decided that when sister will pass away,

you will share half of her property with me.

This is what you had told me sir. I left my job for your word.

Not don't even think of turning back.

I took this risk because of you.

Let me get the money first.

What is to be done, we will figure out later!

Oh!

Okay, tell me what is your next concept?

I mean, action, thriller, suspense?

No, no suspense.

After whatever has happened, I don't want to deal with any suspense anymore.

I am thinking of writing something social.

Social? - Social.

A story of a poor widow.

She is in a setup of a government office. I mean... the first scene goes like...

Do one thing.

You go, take a shower. There is a lot to be done here.

Oh god!

I have to call the doctor!

Sir,

be realistic, okay? Realistic!

- Go, take a shower! - Yes!

Hello,

doctor...

doctor, this is Uday! Doctor...

Chitra...

Chitra...

please come here fast.

[Cellphone rings]

Hello, baby. - I have told you to not call me for 6 months.

Don't you understand that?

Uday,

I am counting every single day...

no, not even day, every single minute without you! You...

Oh my god!

I think spending time with you is making me think like a writer.

I am telling you we are just made for each other.

And do you even realise,

it has been two months that we haven't met each other.

We are just 6 months away.

And from that, 2 months of your practice must be already done right? Isn't it?

Uday,

I don't think you love me at all.

Let's say that for now.

Uday,

you are so not romantic.

Why do you want to be with a person like me?

Because these are the kind of people I am into!

I am busy. I will call you later

Ud... Uday!

Hello... baby...

hello.

What is it?

Keep it!

Sir, shall I say something?

Yes.

I mean, I don't know if I am allowed to say this.

But madam has passed away yesterday and...

Hey,

you don't need get into these matters.

This is not right sir. - Hey,

I get my work calls. Don't try to interfere here.

And anyways, you don't need to stay here anymore.

Sir, please don't take my job away.

I won't do this again.

Look, whatever work you had here, it's done now.

Please don't do this sir. Where will I go? I beg of you.

See, even I don't know if I would be staying here anymore.

Sir, I am a single woman. Where will I go? Please don't...

I am telling you, pack your things by the evening and leave.

Please don't do this sir! Please!

[Crying]

Coffee.

Thank you!

What did you say to Kausalya?

What?

Kausalya.

You said to her that her job is done.

Why?

Because her job is done.

Chitra got her here for no reason.

She is a stupid woman.

She is of no use to us.

We both can stay here peacefully.

Oh,

that story of yours, of the widow, how is it going?

Yes yes, I am working on it. Her husband just passed away.

Let me see what have you written?

Let me complete it.

You had said this in the workshop.

That narrate a script only when it is complete. I remember that.

And once, I complete it, I will be showing it to you.

[Doorbell rings]

It's okay. I will check.

You are concentrating. Please concentrate.

Bhanu!

Uday, Uday!

Uday! Be careful

[Crying]

Calm down.

She passed away!

Uday!

It was not in our hands.

I am trying. But I can't stop crying.

I know. I know.

Death does not come to me.

So I keep working to keep myself distracted.

I have to keep living my life.

I thought you must be alone.

Sir, hello!

I asked him to stay back.

That's a good thing.

You needed some company in this situation.

Sir, shall I go buy some eggs?

Oh, yes. I think there is no one to cook food here now.

Yes sir.

No. The house-maid is not there these days.

You go, bring some eggs.

Yes sir.

There is the money.

No no sir. You have downloaded Paytm in my phone.

I have it.

Okay!

Can we talk?

Please have a seat.

Are you taking the vehicle along? - I'll be back.

No need sir.

I mean, I'll go walking. It will make me feel better.

Just the shoes.

Now, I am used to wearing shoes at home.

I'll leave sir.

See you!

If you don't make yourself comfortable out there, we will meet here.

What comfort sir?

Let's see. I just have to buy the eggs and pay the money and come back.

I'll leave sir!

Shut the main gate while going.

Yes. Yes.

[Snickers]

Read this.

80 crores?

This 80 crores,

the house you are living in and 5 crore rupees of the insurance.

This is what you will be getting.

Chitra has left everything for you what her dad had left for her.

Everything belongs to you now.

Uday!

Calm down, calm down.

Uday. Calm down.

[Crying]

What shall I do with this money?

Wh...

I don't have my wife anymore.

I can understand.

But she won't be coming back how much ever you cry.

We have jobs to do.

You keep yourself distracted.

Stay calm.

Chitra is right here.

She has left everything behind for you,

including her love for you.

Believe in this and stay as calm as possible. Okay?

I miss her.

Good.

I... I am sorry. I... Sorry!

Actually, I should be staying here to be with you.

But I have some urgent business to attend. I will have to go.

Thank you for coming.

But work is always first.

Thank you.

And listen, when I will come back, we will complete all the legal formalities.

I hope you will be better by then.

Is it okay

You know it better.

Take care of yourself.

Shall I leave?

Yes.

Come on. I will walk you till the door.

It's okay.

I'll be back soon.

By the way, that guy is your assistant right?

Yes.

He writes what you tell him, right?

Yes.

Then why did he lock the drawer after putting the laptop in there?

Oh, yes, that...

He used to work in a bank before coming here.

He is used to put everything locked.

Just some old habits I think.

Yes. Okay.

Take care of yourself.

Okay?

Yes.

How did you come in?

You have made three doors to this house.

I came in from the back door. Just for a variation.

Okay, did you get something to eat? I am hungry.

Yes. I have kept it inside.

I am working. I am busy.

[Bottles shatters] - Deepak...

What happened? - Deepak...

What is this?

I took that bottle and it slipped from my hand.

Wait. Wait.

[Groans]

Why are you still standing here? Go there. Put some medicine from that drawer.

What are you looking at?

I have checked all the drawers by now.

Go.

Can you please clean this?

Yes.

Thank you!

That's why I was telling you to not throw that house-maid out.

Idiot!

Mr. Uday!

Mr. Uday!

'Sapla'

Screenplay, Dialogues - Deepak Samartha

Character sketches

Ganesh Mankar - middle aged screenplay writer.

Prakash Balwan- Young screenplay writer.

Mohini- Writer's wife.

From where did you get this printout sir?

Scene one- bungalow/ interior/ day

Brackets open- We see Mrs. Mohini coming with a cup of tea.

Mrs. Mohini has recently been through a heart attack.

She is looking pale. Brackets closed.

Ganesh Mankar is reading a script.

Mohini brings some tea for him.

Ganesh Mankar keeps the script on the table.

We see 'Screenplay and dialogues by Prakash Balwan' on it.

You touched my laptop?

We pull out and see that

the wall next to her has many weapons.

Daggers, swords, armour, axe,

a writing table. Such a setup is seen. - You mailed this file to yourself?

Just shut up.

This... this is mine. What you mean by your file?

Oh, that is my new film sir.

New film? - Yes.

Of that widow? With the government office setup?

Listen to me sir. What I was thinking was... I...

Don't argue or try to explain.

I understand everything here.

Sir, I just thought that... We...

Were you thinking of dying by taking me along with you?

Oh, no sir. What about dying?

Life is beautiful sir.

And what do we want in life? We... We... want success. We... want victory sir.

Is this how you will get your success?

By writing all of this?

Mr. Uday... Mr. Uday... Mr. Uday!

You are so short tempered. Please come here and take a seat.

Come on. Have a seat sir.

Whatever drama we did that night,

try looking at it as a third person.

And then you tell me that where will you find such a commercial and dramatic film?

Sir, we are the ones to do all of this. So we should be encashing it.

We should encash it?

Okay!

We should encash it and the police should use it as the evidence against us

How is the police relevant to this?

Just some person like you,

just some person like me,

just some person like sister who died because of a heart attack.

All the incidents and characters of this film are fictitious. They are not...

Hey do you understand this? We both have committed a murder.

What is the proof?

Proof?

The case will stand first.

And then they will ask for the proofs. Till then, our lives will be...

Relax.

Just think calmly. Calm down.

Calm down?

Okay...

I'll calm down.

I will help you with all the commercial publicity you need for the film.

What do you mean?

The day this film will release,

it will be the day you will see the headlines in all the newspapers.

Uday Rohekar's film and his reality have resemblance.

Uday Rohekar committed suicide on the day of his film released.

You are such a drama queen. How do I make you understand this? Go, die...

Drama queen?

Wait.

Step aside.

Hey, hey! What are you doing?

Step aside. I am going to delete the file right now.

[Deepak laughs]

Okay. Go ahead. Delete it.

Press shift and... Press it.

You can delete it from there.

But how will you delete it from here?

You can take the file out from there. But I will write it again.

You know my speed of writing. You know how fast I write.

And if you want to delete it from my head, you will have to kill me.

And I don't think you have the courage to commit another murder this soon.

One murder has already terrified you enough. Am I right?

You Idiot!

You don't abuse me in English.

Listen to me sir.

I share half of the credit in killing your wife.

And see, we have a plot of a proper commercial film.

Help me to make it.

Whatever we will earn from it, we can share it. Half yours, half mine.

Impossible!

Let it be!

Let it be! Let it be! Let it be!

The famous writer

Uday Rohekar had goddess Laxmi (Goddess of wealth) standing at his door.

But at that time, Uday Rohekar chose to take a swim in the swimming pool.

Now, if you really decide to kill me as well,

why should I die for nothing?

I should rather go from here and keep writing my film.

Okay. I'll take your leave sir.

I have some things here.

I have some things kept with you.

But let them be. They are of no use to me now.

Deepak...

Please give me some time to think.

Go ahead.

A writer must think well.

[Deepak whistling]

[Whistles]

[Whistles]

Hello, Mr. Uday!

There is a beauty walking in.

Oh! shit!

Who's she?

Baby I missed you so much. - Ya, ya... that's true.

No. No. I have some guest in order.

We will do one thing.

We can... We will go there and talk.

Hey honey!

I told you that we won't be meeting for six months.

It hasn't even been 15 days. And you just showed up!

I know baby. But I couldn't stop myself.

What the hell is this? I couldn't stop myself.

You will get me hanged.

You know what I just don't understand. Like, what's wrong in meeting once?

You won't understand!

Okay!

So you mean to say,

that if we don't meet, everything will be fine?

Absolutely! Everything will be fine.

You have already been patient for the last three years.

Now it's just a matter of another year. After that...

Baby,

you are really going to marry me right?

Of course!

Who else will marry me now?

Why?

Why won't anyone marry you?

Anyone would do.

You are going to get so much money!

So much!

Right! There are many women in the queue.

But no one else pleases me like you do.

Oh! Baby... !

No No... It's just a matter of... Nothing! Leave it.

Oh... - Look... Look... Look...

6 months...

Baby! No baby.

After that ... its only you and me ...

Oh God!

Okay. So be patient.

Six months.

Come on.

Six months. I am going to miss you!

I am going to miss you too!

Oh!

Bye!

I will message you once I am home.

No... no... no... no.

I'll call you!

Love you.

Pooja!

Yes?

Pooja.

Pooja.

She was in my last film.

Oh, that song.

The one in the rains.

She is very attractive.

But whatever she has done with her hair...

It's not looking good.

Please tell her.

Now you know many of my secrets.

All of them.

I am fine with the royalty.

Sukhatme had come over.

He told that Chitra hasn't left much behind.

What?

Ya. At least not as much as I expected.

Oh!

Now I don't know how much time it would take to get the insurance money.

Selling out this property is also risky.

In short, I am as broke as I was!

Sir!

No, but I

accept your offer.

It's nice.

I like the script.

People are going to keep talking. No wonder!

That is what I am trying to say sir.

People will keep talking and then forget about it.

We will write this film and earn our money!

Exactly. You start working!

Oh! Yes...

Is this final?

Yes! Done.

You start working.

Hey! - Bless me.

Now that I have your blessings, see what a wonderful script I write.

"Love is an illusion in this world. "

"This is the darkness of the mirage. "

"This bird of suspicion is roaming in my mind. "

"Like how the darkness of lust is. "

"Love is an illusion in this world. "

"This is the darkness of the mirage. "

"This bird of suspicion is roaming in my mind. "

"Like how the darkness of lust is. "

"No person in loyal. "

"This is the fire of fright. "

"He is getting lost on an unknown road. "

"Why have you chosen this unknown path?"

Cheers!

Cheers!

How far have you reached?

Done with the first half.

See, I just wrote the interval.

What?

Yes!

Narrate it then!

Shall I?

Yes!

Okay!

I'll start.

At the interval,

in the brackets,

Mohini Mankar's dead body is lying here in the living room.

Prakash Balwan,

the young writer is standing besides the dead body.

And Ganesh Mankar who is the senior writer is sitting in front.

Prakash Balwan slowly goes towards Ganesh Mankar and slowly gives him his hand.

They shake hands.

Then Ganesh Mankar stands up.

He looks at the dead body.

Good,

good job!

All of this was possible because of you.

Now, I own all of this property because of you.

And also, because of you,

now, I can...

I can marry Saroj.

Saroj is Uday's girlfriend.

Sorry... sorry. I mean, the girl who had come here.

So in that way,

Ganesh Mankar's girlfriend is Saroj.

Now, Prakash Balwan says

I mean, I know I did all of this. But the brain behind this is yours.

May how deep the roots of the tree grow,

but they never turn into a trunk of the tree.

It's okay, my boy! It's okay.

Now go,

go freshen up.

I have to make a call.

Here,

Prakash Balwan exits.

Ganesh Mankar pulls his phone out.

He sits down near the body of his wife and starts talking to the doctor- Hello.

hello doctor

I am Ganesh Mankar. Doctor,

Doctor, Mohini... Mohini is in immense pain.

She is my whole life.

I think she has got her second heart attack.

Doctor, please come here as soon as possible doctor.

Doctor! Mohini! Mohini!

Silence!

How was it?

I thought it was too melodramatic.

But no problem. This is how the people like it.

I like that line in which you used the reference of the roots.

Isn't it?

Now, shall I give you a surprise?

What?

I am ready with the second half!

What?

When Uday Rohekar's brain Starts working, it works non-stop!

So tell me, what happens in the second half?

Wait! Wait. I am still a little confused about a couple of scenes.

I mean

I am still struggling to get the activities right.

Of course, we will have to do a few action rehearsals for that.

Again?

Yes. Once, I see the things in my head happening in front of my eyes,

[Snaps finger]

I will tell you the scenes one by one consecutively.

But you will have to write them down.

We cannot change the writing style.

Okay then, let's do it tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Why tomorrow? I cannot wait till tomorrow.

We both are here right now.

We have all the time right now.

Let's do this today!

Now?

Yes.

Okay! - [Door slams]

Deepak, can you please close the door upstairs?

I am in some chain of thoughts.

Okay. I'll be back!

I'll keep this aside.

Don't keep this near you while doing the action rehearsal.

It is injurious to health.

Drink responsibly.

Ya!

Where are you taking the laptop?

I cannot keep this laptop here near you.

I have no trust on you.

All the cards are open right now!

[Thunder rumbling]

Sir... !

Yes...

I was thinking about the end scene.

Come here.

Now, the climax situation goes this way.

Now, this writer of ours, Ganesh Mankar has succeeded through all his plans.

But the inspector who has come to investigate the death of his wife

is very smart.

He has trapped Uday, I mean, Ganesh Mankar.

Now Ganesh Mankar had no other option than killing him.

Unfortunately, Ganesh's gun had just one bullet.

And Ganesh fires that bullet on the inspector. It hits the inspector.

And what?

The inspector is dead?

No, listen to me first.

That's what you said.

See, you miss out these small details by rushing into things.

Okay, okay! Don't take any workshop now.

What did I say?

The inspector was alert. He fired the bullet on the inspector.

But it hit the left arm of the inspector.

The inspector stumbled and fell on one side.

Now,

Ganesh Mankar wants a weapon.

Any weapon.

But he cannot let his eyes of the inspector.

Ganesh tried to go near the weapon.

Now, can this injured inspector stop a man with a single hand?

Let's try it.

You be the inspector. I will be Ganesh, okay?

Okay! And I am shot on my left hand!

On your left hand yes.

Hold it. Don't use that hand.

Your left hand is injured.

Yes, I am injured.

Now Mankar has to reach there to take the weapon.

Okay!

Now, a person like you.

Is injured.

Now I will try to leave.

Three...

Two...

One...

Use some energy!

Energy?

Are you sure?

If I use my energy, you might get injured.

You are old now.

Three... two... one...

See my energy now.

This is what you call energy.

[Groans]

What?

I told you not to use the left hand.

Now, in the fight, it happened subconsciously.

I cannot detach it from my body and keep it aside.

Hey,

you are bleeding.

You are hurt.

I know.

I have a first aid box. We will call the doctor if required.

But the rehearsal should go well. It has to be full of energy.

Wait.

I will be the inspector. You play Ganesh Mankar. Come on.

Come here. Stand here. Come.

A gentle reminder, the script is mine.

And the climax is mine.

Yes. - Yes.

Now?

Now, you are injured.

I am injured. To this hand.

I have to reach the weapon.

Yes. Now you go there.

Okay.

[Clapping]

Very very good energy.

Your nose is bleeding.

It will be fine.

Climax is important.

Now, pick up any weapon from those which are there behind you.

A sword?

Are you asking me?

You have an axe besides you.

Pick it up now. Keep it aside.

What? - Keep it on the sofa.

Then why did you ask me to pick it up?

He picked up the axe.

Hands up!

What?

I mean it. Hands up!

What do you mean Mr. Uday?

I mean this is the end of my film 'Saapla'.

Hey... What?

My dear student.

The film 'Saapla' ends here.

I filled this gun with the bullets last night while you were sleeping.

Hey... no... no.

Now listen to the climax.

This is the climax of Deepak and Uday's story.

I went to your office and saw your records.

You did a scam back there with the government's money.

So they kicked your ass and threw you out of the office.

Of course, I never wanted a corrupt assistant like you.

I am alone living in this big house.

So when I got home after knowing this,

I told you that you are fired.

But you got angry because of your natural tendency. You got enraged.

We got into a fight.

You raised the axe on me.

Thankfully, I had a gun and I have its license too.

And I had to kill you for the sake of self defense.

You wouldn't believe me

but, I had really liked you.

I will have to lose a good friend because of all of this.

But a game is a game.

Any game permits only a single player to win.

Goodbye,

Mr. Deepak.

Sir...

[Empty gun clicks]

(singing song) It is an anticlimax!

[Laughs]

[Coughs]

No, no, hey.

Your gun is not faulty. I am the faulty one here.

Now, when I have to live with such a cunning fox like you,

how can I sleep peacefully at night?

I have a problem of insomnia.

So, last night,

while you were walking on your toes,

dancing all over,

you came here and put that gun behind the sofa,

I saw you.

So I had to pull that gun out,

empty it,

and transfer all the bullets from that gun in this gun.

This gun is loaded.

This is called a real plot twist.

You...

Hey!

Shut up!

Shut up!

Now go and get a chair.

Now I will teach you a few things.

You bast...

Chair.

Or I will kill you right away.

Hey, go.

I am looking at you.

Yes. Very good. Keep it here.

Keep it here.

Have a seat.

Please be seated Mr. Uday Rohekar. Please.

Please.

Wear these handcuffs of my love. Come on.

Very good.

Very good.

Now you know the drill. Hands behind.

Ouch!

Don't try to act smart. Else I will kill you right here.

You know what, Mr. Uday,

when I wrote the first half of my film,

I got a huge writer's block. I couldn't think of anything.

I was thinking I should dump this script.

But then I thought,

you have created the first half of this script.

So what if you create the second half too?

So I started acting.

I started keeping my laptop in the locked drawer.

Even if I went away for a single minute.

But the great writer Uday Rohekar never noticed this.

Because he was thinking about his girlfriend.

But your lawyer, Sukhatme,

he noticed it and then things exactly happened as I wanted them to happen.

So now, the climax of my story goes like this.

The budding writer Prakash Balwan is shot by the senior writer Ganesh Mankar.

But what happens is,

unfortunately Prakash Balwan does not die immediately.

While he is taking his last few breaths,

the house-maid enters.

And she comes along with Ganesh Mankar's lawyer friend.

And while breathing his last, Prakash Balwan

tells all the things done by Ganesh Mankar in front of the lawyer.

Now, Ganesh Mankar is left with no other option than committing suicide.

He points the same gun to his head and shoots.

Dead!

How did you like my story and my climax?

It's nice.

I can develop it if you want.

Are you stupid?

Your hands are tied up with handcuffs.

I have a gun in my hand.

And you want to develop it?

Shut up.

Now what will you tell the people?

Just tell them that you fired me from my job and I left.

Don't you dare to talk about me much.

Because my script is based on the events in your life.

And I have not told this to anyone till date.

But if you say anything about me to anyone, I will expose you to everyone.

Got it?

And you know this well

When a script is tagged with the sentence 'based on true events',

it gets sold immediately.

So, you won't kill me?

Why?

Why should I kill you?

Please tell me why should I kill you?

For what?

I have already beaten you enough.

Why should I commit a murder for this?

Now I have a simple plan.

Now I'll go upstairs, pack my bags,

take the cash which you have kept in your room and then leave.

The end.

Oh, yes. I will through away

the keys of those handcuffs somewhere far away from you.

Because you have a devil's mind.

Never know, you might take up that gun

and shoot me while I am leaving if you find those keys.

Okay, I am leaving!

You are so stupid.

What do you want?

Should I fire the bullets?

[Chuckles]

Now, I am going upstairs.

Don't try to be a hero.

The gun is far away from you. Your hands are tied up.

You are old now.

Don't try to perform any stunts.

And still if you want to do it, then die your own death.

Mr. Uday!

[Gunshot]

A student should never try to teach his teacher,

I had told this to you.

A suspense writer should always observe the minute details.

I had also told you that I have got these handcuffs from a magician.

He is locked in a box, the box is thrown in the river

and the magician comes out within 2 minutes.

So, these handcuffs might have a button which opens them up.

Your tiny brain missed these detailing.

So sad.

Even today, the Alfred Hitchcock in Marathi cinema is no one else, but me.

Goodbye dear.

[Doorbell rings]

You came on the right time.

Hi!

We spoke about this in detail yesterday.

If you agree with those things,

we can talk about the rest.

Done.

Nice!

I have some conditions!

Shoot!

Firstly,

I want to make a successful career of mine.

I want to be successful.

So starting with your next film, I will be the lead actress of every film.

Secondly,

I won't be sharing the bed only.

I will be sharing your surname and a relationship as well.

Thirdly,

I will help you with whatever you need.

But my name will not come anywhere in this.

But I am happily married!

[Chuckles]

Really?

Then that's a problem.

The huge wealth of your wife,

a brand new film and pleasures with me.

These expectations are too much for your age.

Did you eat the Puranpoli (sweet)?

Stop the car.

What is your decision?

I mean,

I have offers from other writers and directors too,

but I have given my word to you.

So I thought I should ask you if you have come to any decision.

My plan is ready.

Give me some tea.

Are you stupid?

Chitra's philosophy and our disturbing behaviour...

What did you do?

Deepak Samartha!

Sorry, I will have to throw you out of this house in front him.

I won't ask this again.

Please don't do this to me!

Sir, sir please!

[Groans]

Deepak!

Deepak!
