Raghavan!

Raghavan!

So you won't finish it today too, isn't it, Raghavan?

Is there a marriage reception in here?

Why this delay?

Tell me.

Put some white cement

on these walls!

Just polish these wooden furniture lightly!

I gave you just these two tasks.

But it's been a while since you have started the work.

Why?

Just remember that there are other painters in our native.

But those cowards won't come here

since there are rumours that there are ghosts

and evil spirits in Madampalli Manor.

You came forward with courage.

So I gave you the job with confidence.

It will be a problem

if you trouble me like this

by delaying the work.

Raghavan!

Sharadha and family will arrive anytime from Kolkata.

Are you planning to continue this when they arrive?

Let me tell you something.

You must stop the work by today.

Stop it.

Don't waste our precious time.

I won't pay from tomorrow.

Raghavan!

Are you not listening to what I am saying?

Where are you?

Are you playing hide-and-seek?

Raghavan!

Raghavan!

Rajappan!

Gopalakrishnan!

Oh, God!

My umbrella!

Oh!

"While she combs her silky black hair"

"her eyes were twinkling and became pretty." - Doctor.

Doctor! - "Her eyes were twinkling and became pretty."

So, the letter 'Y'.

Do you know any poem starting with 'Y'?

Do you know any poem starting with 'Y'?

I know few words, Doctor.

Can't you hear me calling?

If you see Dasappan Kutty

tell him to come to my house.

A bucket fell into the well.

We need to take it out. Don't forget to tell him.

So, the letter 'Y'.

I had to visit Madampalli.

Carry on.

Your daughter came here a few minutes back

and just left.

Is it?

That's fine.

How is the game going? - As usual.

I gave him letter 'P' to sing.

Did he lose to you?

Impossible.

I took his 'P'

and gave him a 'K'.

'K.' Is that it?

Here you go.

"Key can never be forgotten"

"and it rings.." - Hey, stop it.

It's "Key must never be forgotten.."

Yes.

"Key can never.."

"Key can never.."

Hey, you are reciting it wrong again.

Again the same mistake!

What is this?

I didn't take it.

That is it.

I didn't take the keys for real.

I forgot to take the keys after locking the manor.

Shucks! - Dasappan.

Yes. - Unnithan's daughter was looking for you.

Their bucket fell into the well. She asked you to get it. - Okay.

I am going there. - Okay.

Who is that?

Hey, Mr. Unnithan.

Where are you going?

I was coming there.

Did you take it?

No. How did you know about it?

The doctor told me.

Why didn't you send Alli earlier?

I didn't go home.

Come. Let's go and take in now. - Okay.

Are you afraid to go there at night?

Fear?

What a joke!

Are you scared? - No!

I thought of taking it tomorrow.

But I can't sleep. - That's because of the climate. I'll take it out.

But I can't sleep. - That's because of the climate. I'll take it out.

You can bathe then and there. Will I get a grapnel?

Grapnel? What for?

It is not necessary. Let's go down the well.

Why do you want to go down the well

to take the keys from Madampalli Manor?

Keys?

What about the bucket? - Bucket?

What bucket?

The bucket in the well. - What's wrong with you?

Are you playing with me? To hell with the bucket!

Come on. - Well..

Where are we going?

Can't you hear?

To Madampalli Manor. - Oh, no! At this time?

I thought we are going to take the bucket. - Don't overthink!

Come with me!

Dasappan Kutty. - Yes.

What is your zodiac sign? - Friday.

Is that your zodiac sign? - Don't talk.

It is echoing.

If you are scared

then sing a song.

I am going to recite a hymn. - I'll kill you!

What? What is it?

Who opened this?

Oh, no. Get the keys.

Get the keys.

Okay.

Who is it, Dasappan?

I have caught the person whom you saw

at the courtyard of Madampalli last night. Stop.

It was the Tamilian ghost of Madampalli.

The only reason why you chose to leave immediately

is your good fate.

I have hallowed four amulets.

I hope there is nothing to be worried of. - No, there isn't.

These are powerful!

Here.

I want you to place them in the four corners

of the manor without uttering a single word.

I need to go to the toilet. - Not now! Don't speak.

Go now.

Oh, God!

Oh, no!

Why did you get so scared last night?

Shame on you!

We should always think logically

We should always think logically

and be bold.

I think it's best

not to let anyone know about this.

What?

Are you hungry? What's wrong?

What is it?

What?

'I need to go to the toilet!'

Ms. Bhasura.

Ms. Bhasura.

Oh, is that you? What's wrong, Dasappan?

Where were you?

Did Mr. Unnithan tell you anything today?

Did he?

To me? - Yes. - He didn't.

What's wrong, Dasappan? - Shucks.

So did this illness start today morning itself?

Oh, no! An illness?

What's wrong? What happened to him?

He went out without speaking a word to me.

Yes, that's the problem. He is still mute.

That's all. - Is he mute?

Yes. - I need to see him.

Where is he? Is he at a hospital? - No, he is in the toilet.

Toilet? - Yes.

There is nothing to worry. Come with me.

Oh, God! What are you saying, Dasappan?

He got scared last night at Madampalli. - And?

I had told him that I'd accompany him if he is afraid.

What?

What happened last night at Madampalli?

Why didn't you tell me about it? Tell me what's wrong with you.

Are you unable to talk? - No. - Oh, God!

What?

Oh, God! What are you doing?

See.

Oh, no!

Oh, God! What will I do now? Leave him.

Oh, God! - I'll get a holy thread. Dasappan, take care of him.

Oh, no! Let me go. - A thread is not needed.

Oh, no! Let me go. - A thread is not needed.

It's not needed! He is in a shock.

He'll be all right with a counter-shock!

Did he get scared? - Yes, that's what Dasappan said.

He is mute no matter what I ask him. - I see.

I hope he'd be normal if he wears a sacred thread.

He might have gone there at night chanting some hymn!

He was so adamant about taking care of the manor!

Look what happened now.

He convinced Sister Sharadha to ask me

to hand over the keys of Madampalli to him.

Even the great priests from Alappara couldn't stay there.

Your husband doesn't know the past

as he is from another place.

I did warn him not to take up that responsibility.

But he didn't listen.

Okay. I shall give you a sacred thread.

Will he accept it as it's me who hallowed the thread? - Yes.

Will he accept it as it's me who hallowed the thread? - Yes.

Come with me.

Almighty!

Don't take it.. - Hey!

Chanthu, give it! - No! - I had it first. Let me read it first.

Tie this around his waist and be mute till then. - Give it!

Here. - You're going to tear it. - Let it go. Oh, God!

Didn't I tell you earlier? - Hey..

What's going on there? - It's nothing, Dad.

I'm going to..

Wow!

Look who is here!

That is my uncle, Ganga.

I thought only Sister Sharadha would be coming.

I didn't know that you would be coming.

Where are the others?

There is no one else. It's just us. - I see.

This is Ganga.

We reached Trivandrum yesterday noon.

It got late when we reached Madampalli.

Madampalli? Were the two of you alone?

Yes. When I saw the keys, I thought someone would be there.

I asked her to wait and went inside.

I didn't find anyone. - And then?

We spend the night in a hotel

as we didn't want to bother you

that late at night.

What a pleasant surprise?

Do you recognise us, dear?

How would she, as you didn't bother to bring her here

after your marriage, Nakulan?

Ask him when was the last time he was here. - Actually..

Ask him when was the last time he was here. - Actually..

Have you recognised them, Ganga? This is my aunt.

This is Jayashree. She is my cousin.

How are you? You've changed quite a lot.

That's Alli, Aunt Bhasura's daughter.

My goodness!

Were you here?

How have you been?

Where is Uncle Unnithan?

What?

It's okay. You may leave. Tie it around his waist and be mute.

She's mute as she is holding a sacred thread.

That's Sridevi, uncle's eldest daughter.

Didn't aunt come, Cousin Nakulan? - She wanted to.

But sister took her to Mumbai.

No one loves their native land anymore.

We plan to stay here for a long time.

We'll be here until the construction

of the new plant is finished. - I see.

That's wonderful! Come, dear.

So, I guess you'll be here for almost

four months. - I might.

I suggest you stay here then.

No, Uncle. We shall stay at Madampalli.

What?

At Madampalli? - Yes. What's the matter?

I know it is our ancestral home.

Also, that place is entitled to your mother.

But that isn't the best place to live.

The house is haunted.

You would have heard about it in your childhood.

Several unnatural deaths have occurred there.

We believe that women who became a part of our family by marriage

will never have peace of mind if they stay there.

Ganga belongs to another family.

Aren't those ancient beliefs?

Who would take those seriously?

Well.. I didn't intend to get you worried.

If you wish to stay at the manor

then let it be.

You may see the place.

Come with me.

Oh, God!

Now, let me make something clear to you!

Did you think that I became dumb?

Are you all right now?

Yes, I am.

You've to be taught a lesson for what you said today morning!

How dare you say that all I needed was a counter-shock?

Who the hell do you think you are? Are you from the electricity board?

I won't spare you.

Don't come near me.. Don't mess with me!

Don't come near me.. Don't mess with me!

I'll stab you!

Oh, no..

"Arjuna, Phalguna, Partha.."

"Kiritin, Shwetavahana, Dhananjaya.."

"Phalguna, Partha.."

"Arjuna, Phalguna.." Oh, no!

Dasappan Kutty, that is Ms. Ganga, Mr. Nakulan's wife. - What?

Hello. - Hello.

I will thrash you! Don't try to follow me.

Beware of me!

Oh! I think I was just hallucinating.

Oh, no! - Oh, God!

Were you trying to scare me from behind?

What is it, Bhasura?

What?

What do you want?

What happened to you?

Hey.. What are you trying to do?

What will others think if they see us?

We may be husband and wife. Still.. I will come home.

I will come home!

Hey, I will keep my word.

Leave me.

What is wrong with you, Bhasura?

If somebody gets to see us, then we are done!

Look, Sridevi is here.

Hey, Sridevi is looking at us.

Where are you dragging me to? Hey!

Where are you taking me?

Hey.. Listen!

"In spite of knowing that everyone"

"will bid me goodbye."

"I keep waiting at the doorstep"

"with hopes within."

"I keep wishing for the arrival"

"of my beloved."

"of my beloved."

This place is so peaceful. Such a great atmosphere.

Did you like the place?

Of course, yes! It has surpassed my expectations.

Do call me when you are done with your work.

I am feeling sleepy. - Sure.

'Kaavootu, P. Mahadevan.'

Do all these books belong to you? - Yes.

Do all these books belong to you? - Yes.

Let me keep these here for now.

We will arrange it well after finding an apt place.

Oh, no.. - What happened?

Have you read this? - Yes. Why?

He is my professor in college. - What?

Is P. Mahadevan your professor? - Yes. - Wow!

And.. - Then what?

You know it. - No, I don't.

You are just pretending. Mom would have told you everything.

Not at all. What is it? Tell me, Alli.

What? - Leave me.. - Hey..

Hey, Alli! Stop there!

Don't try to escape!

I will not let you go until you tell me. What is it?

He has come with a marriage proposal. - Is it?

That's great news! Why didn't you tell me before?

Did you fix the marriage? - Yes. It will be in April.

He stays close by. - Is it? Where?

He stays close by. - Is it? Where?

He lives in that house.

I need a suitable room to arrange my books, Alli.

I have been searching for it from yesterday.

There are so many rooms here.

Come on. I will show you.

Any random room won't do.

I need a room with windows opening to those mango groves.

Come, let's search for it.

Nobody ever comes this way. - Is it?

Come, let's see.

Look there, Ms. Ganga. I think that room would be apt.

Ms. Ganga, it is locked with some sacred threads.

This door is locked. - That's okay.

Dad would have the keys. We will get it opened.

Dear.. Dear!

I think it is uncle. - Come, let's go.

Come here, dear.

Where were you? - I was just roaming upstairs. - Okay.

Since this is an ancestral house

we have some old beliefs and restrictions.

The south section

of the mansion is restricted, upstairs.

Those rooms are locked with sacred ornate locks.

Every year during the 'Durga Ashtami', we conduct

some rituals and tie sacred threads around those ornate locks.

That is the room where we have locked the spirits

of two people who had a tragic death ages back.

I know that youngsters like you will not believe such stories.

Still, you should not go there again.

I came to say this.

Why do we have to go against the dead ones?

Who are these dead ones?

That was about 150 years back.

Then, there was a feudal lord

Sankaran Thampi, who was the head of our family.

Once he brought a dancer from Thanjavur as his mistress.

Her name was Nagavalli. She was already in love

with a dancer whose name was Ramanathan.

He came in search of Nagavalli and secretly stayed

in a house just close to this mansion.

Somehow, Sankaran Thampi got to know this secret.

Learning of their affair, Sankaran Thampi

killed Nagavalli in that room upstairs.

killed Nagavalli in that room upstairs.

It is believed that on the eighth day of the 'Durga Ashtami'

Nagavalli turned into a blood-thirsty spirit

and tried to kill Sankaran Thampi.

But he escaped by chanting some mantras.

After that, Nagavalli's spirit started wandering

with an intention to kill him.

By performing rituals continuously for 61 days

with the aid of great priests from Alappara

Nagavalli's spirit was locked up in that room.

Later Sankaran Thampi also committed suicide.

His spirit is also locked up in the same room.

These are all old grandma tales.

Who knows the truth?

By the way, do you know who is staying in the house

where Ramanathan used to stay before?

Alli's fiance stays there.

Alli's fiance stays there.

Your mom used to tell me while at Kolkata

that there are many valuable items here.

Though I searched every nook and corner

I couldn't even find one.

I believe everything is stored in that locked room.

This ghost tale was a strategy

to keep their valuables safe.

No one will open that room out of fear.

I need to open that room somehow.

What do you say, Nakulan? Shall I open it?

Go ahead.

Ganga!

Here's the new key!

Chanthu brought this just now.

Open it before someone comes protesting.

I'm leaving. I have classes.

I'll see you later. - Okay.

"Won't you pay a visit?"

"Pay a visit.."

"Won't you open the door and enter?"

"Enter.."

"Won't you appear in front of me?"

"In front of me.."

"Won't you satisfy my eyes?"

"Satisfy.."

Ganga!

It was a forbidden room.

The southern room.

I came running when I heard that you got a new key made.

To ask you not open it.

By that time..

You shouldn't have done this

since my father requested you not to do it, Ganga.

The after-effects..

I don't understand what is there to fear

in opening a room where no one lives.

Do you believe in this?

How can I not believe?

Did you know? The blacksmith who forged the key fell ill.

He has the pox, they say.

And Bichu, a friend of Chanthu's, who went

to get this key made have also fallen ill with fever.

Chanthu and I shall move in here for a few days.

What else can we do?

If anything happens to you inside this haunted house

shouldn't there be a company?

Let's face everything together.

My mind will be at ease

only after we do this expiation ritual, keep the coffer

only after we do this expiation ritual, keep the coffer

inside the southern room of Madampalli

and seal its doors permanently.

'Kaavootu. Poems by Alli's own P. Mahadevan'

"will cross paths with me"

"I wish in vain that someone I love"

"I still wish for it."

"Though the spring passed"

"this branch never blossomed in the past."

"Just for that, the seasons change sometimes"

"Strangers who lost their way"

"Strangers who lost their way"

Could you sing that hymn in the 'Abheri rag'?

Who are you?

It's me.. Nagavalli!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Oh, no..

Oh, my God!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Cousin Nakulan..

Ganga.. - Hey, Nakulan.

Wake up. - What? - There is someone at the door.

Who is it? - I think it's Sridevi. - Nakulan. - I see.

Nakulan.

What's the matter? - Please come with us, Nakulan.

Shanthamma is frightened as she saw something.

She's wheezing and has a severe chest pain.

What happened?

What is it?

She says that she saw something frightening.

What happened, Shantha?

I woke up hearing the sound of anklets.

And I spotted a woman who has long hair outside the window.

You just imagine things.

It's because of the unwanted thought you have.

If you're scared, you may sleep..

Oh, God!

What happened? - Someone broke this!

Don't create trouble.

Who would bother to scare you and break this now?

You'll lose your job for cooking fake stories.

You'll lose your job for cooking fake stories.

I'm warning you.

Let's go.

Sridevi, come with us.

Chanthu. - Yes.

Who had appointed them here?

It was Uncle Unnithan. - Oh. Ask him

to get rid of them as soon as possible.

People like them cook up stories

that there are demons and ghosts in the Madampalli Manor..

Oh, no!

What's happening, Nakulan?

Go back to bed, Chanthu. We'll take care of this tomorrow. Go.

You too, Sridevi.

Don't worry. Sleep for now.

Let me make something clear.

We won't take no for an answer.

Just listen to what we say.

What is the matter?

We want the two of you to move out of here today.

Why?

Nakulan, this house is haunted.

We can't take any chances.

We can't take any chances.

You should stay here only after the house is hallowed.

Your mother would've told you the same thing

if she was here.

I want to say something else to all of you.

You need not bother to!

Just listen to what we say!

This is not the time to argue!

Now that you've made yourself clear, let me..

Isn't that Ganga? - Nakulan!

What happened?

Ganga. - Ganga. Her sari caught fire.

Ganga..

Ganga.. What happened?

Tell me. - Nakulan.

It's all right.. Please lie down. What happened?

Tell us what happened.

Tell us what happened.

I don't know how it happened, Nakulan.

I was late to realise that the sari has caught fire.

Where did it happen?

I hadn't entered the kitchen.

I was standing on the veranda.

Was there anybody else with you? - No.

Only Sridevi and I..

How are you feeling now? - I am all right. You may leave.

Please get me another sari, Alli.

Come with me, Uncle.

What's the matter?

Don't consider this to be rude, Uncle.

I've some suspicions.

I can't open up about it

to anyone here except you.

I don't get you.

Just tell me what it is. - What I'm trying to ask

is whether Sridevi had suffered

from any mental illness before?

Well..

If you have felt that before

you should be frank.

So that we may consult a good psychiatrist.

What the hell are you saying?

All of these mishaps are happening

because of the actions you committed

with your wife.

Why do you want to treat Sridevi?

Many incidents took place yesterday.

Do you know?

I know that you won't accept anything.

That is why we came here yesterday

without telling anyone that we are going to lock that haunted room.

Do you know what we saw?

Will you trust me if I say it?

We saw the Tamilian girl in real.

Dasappan and Kattuparamban are witnesses.

Oh! So you saw her.

We need not have any doubts.

Everyone here..

What shall I say?

What the hell are you blabbering?

What is wrong with Sridevi?

Being the eldest person in this family

I have some responsibilities.

You can stay here only after the rituals.

Will you leave immediately or not? Tell me now.

No. We both won't leave, whatever the reason is.

No. We both won't leave, whatever the reason is.

Do as you wish.

But I have made some decisions regarding Sridevi.

What is it?

What is the matter?

He says that he won't leave. - What?

He is not concerned about releasing the furious souls

that are too dangerous.

According to him, my daughter, Sridevi is the culprit.

Oh. - What?

What is wrong with Sridevi?

Who knows? Ask him directly.

Why should there be a problem with Sridevi suddenly?

I need to know what it is, Thampi.

Thank God for making it a minor one.

What would've happened if I had not seen this?

Tell me. Didn't you hear my question?

Oh, we did not touch anything. - Is it?

'We did not touch anything.'

No.. There is no use talking.

Don't use the LPG stove.

That's all. Use the Kerosene stove.

What is it, Uncle?

No. Nothing.

What is it, Uncle?

Brother-in-law. - Yes.

Well, we need not neglect what Nakulan told completely.

Sridevi seems to have a problem.

What? - There is some problem.

What?

The Tamilian girl who was released won't leave so easily.

I feel that Sridevi has been possessed by her.

Something's wrong with her behaviour.

Come.. Everyone come and check it out. Come.

They are so useless.

Shucks.

What is it?

What is it?

Nothing.

You are fine.

Enjoy. Enjoy to the fullest.

What's wrong?

What is it, Dad?

Dear.

What is it, Mom?

What is it, Uncle?

Nothing.

What is it, Aunt?

Tell me what it is.

Hello, I want Dr. Sunny here.

I am in trouble.

The plight of the patient is worsening each day.

If he can't help now, then why is he practising as a psychiatrist?

Please let him know about this.

My brother wanted to get Sridevi married to Nakulan.

Sridevi has a horoscope problem.

But it matched Nakulan's horoscope very well.

What to do? His mom was not at all interested in that.

And because of that everyone got Sridevi married to a boy

without letting him know of it, on the same day Nakulan got married.

Finally, when her groom got to know about this

he sent her back disagreeing to live with her.

he sent her back disagreeing to live with her.

Sridevi came back to this house back then.

Happiness came back to this family after your arrival.

Now that has been spoilt as well.

This is called destiny.

As the Tamilian's soul that got released

possessed Sridevi

the old man who died must be here as well.

What?

No. Don't come close.

I will hurt you, old man. I have an umbrella.

I am this family's son-in-law. Bhasura's husband.

Don't do this to me.

Don't play with me.

I have told you once.

What? Oh! Is it?

What? Oh! Is it?

Don't come close.

Please don't come close to me.

Don't play with me like this.

I told you that I am the son-in-law.

What are you going to gain by doing this to me?

There are many people here.

What is it?

What is it, Uncle?

What?

Whose uncle?

What do you want?

Brother-in-law. Thampi.

Who let her loose?

What is it, Uncle?

Don't call me that, Sridevi.

Bloody Tamil lady. I shall pay you back.

Uncle.

Don't come close.

Don't come close.

I am a very bad person.

Obey your uncle.

Leave peacefully.

Brother-in-law. Thampi..

Come here.

Help me!

Someone is trying to kill me.

Nakulan!

Leave my neck.

I can't talk.

Nakulan.

Who is it?

Hey, was it you?

Is this the guy you mentioned? He is very violent.

Why have you let him loose? Lock him. - Get lost.. - Shut up.

Oh, leave him..

Leave me. - Don't do anything. Listen to me.

Can't you leave me if he says so? - What else can I do?

He is saying that I am an old man. Do I look like an old man?

He said he's Bhasura's husband.

Who the hell is Bhasura? - She's my wife and his aunt.

Leave him. He is my uncle.

Oh! Is he your uncle?

Yes. The son-in-law.

I'm sorry. - Get lost!

When you came to stab me with an umbrella

I thought you were insane.

It's okay.

I'm sorry, sir.

He is a great doctor coming from the US, Uncle.

He deals with mentally disturbed.. - Is he mad?

Yes.

Oh!

Nakulan.

Tell this guy that I am healthy..

Please tell this guy that I am healthy.

How did you end up here?

I called up everyone to get in touch with you.

Tracing me is difficult. I specialise in mystic arts.

There is a lot of scope for that in the US now.

Hail, Lord Ayyappa.

Dear Sunny, tell me the truth.

Where are you coming from? - Sabarimala.

It is just an illusion.

You called at Hyderabad.

Our friend, Avarachan, picked up your call.

He called Ramendran in Bangalore

and I came to know about your problem while in the Madras Mail.

Who is that?

Is he the person you had mentioned?

Hey, he is our distant relative.

Oh, is he your relative?

So I came to Kochi from Madras on a flight

and went to Sabarimala with Joy..

Hail, Lord Ayyappa..

Then we went to Kottayam, did some minor works

and came in a rickshaw..

Who is this? Is he the patient?

Oh, he is my uncle.

Is he your uncle? Oh!

Uncle.

He is my friend.

The doctor I mentioned that day. He is a psychiatrist.

He is a gold medallist from the US.

He is very famous everywhere.

Dr. Sunny Joseph. - Hello.

My daughter is not insane.

You shouldn't make her mad.

Uncle.. - So we did some minor works at Kottayam

and I got into a rickshaw..

What's wrong? - No, nothing.

As I said, I came here

in a rickshaw..

What happened? - Nothing.

She just came and peeped into this room.

Who? - Didn't you see her? The patient.

Oh! Do you mean Sridevi? - I don't know..

But it's a bit difficult for me to treat her.

She's a bit aged.

You must have seen my aunt.

Oh! Is she your aunt?

Anyway, go and freshen up. - Okay.

Change your clothes. - Okay.

Then observe our problems. - Okay!

Aren't there some formalities before that? Where is your wife?

Ganga!

Ganga.

Ganga.

Who is that?

Nakulan!

Ganga!

Nakulan!

I got you some offerings.. Nakulan!

I got you some offerings.. Nakulan!

Hey.

I am also coming..

Nakulan!

Nakulan!

Dear.

Sunny.

I guess she is here. It's locked up.

I guess she is here. It's locked up.

Inside here? - Yes. - Oh, no. There is no air circulation.

Break the door. One, two, three.

Alli.

Tell me, Alli.

What happened?

When I went upstairs, I felt like someone was following me and I ran.

I accidentally got into that room.

By that time somebody locked me from outside.

Why did you go upstairs?

I went in search of Ganga.

Who told you that I am upstairs?

Sridevi.

Sridevi had seen me going for a bath.

Sunny, come. Let me tell you.

Didn't you see everything? These are the problems.

What kind of illness is this?

What does she mean by doing all this?

Did you understand its seriousness?

I will get you the offerings..

Oh, no. Where is my bag? - What?

The offerings are in that bag.

Bag!

Oh, my God.

Oh, no.

I swear upon God.

I will find the person behind this.

I will lock him up with an ornate lock!

Please stop..

Well.. Where are you off to, Sir?

We are going to Pullattupuram. - Okay.

Many bad signs have been seen

after that night's incident. - Is it?

We are going to meet

Brahmadattan Nampoothirippadu to ask for a solution. - Okay.

You can also come along. - Okay.

Hey, who is this? Isn't this Patedath Padmanabhan?

Padmanabhan? - Oh, no.

Isn't this Unnithan?

I was mistaken. Sorry.

Well, isn't this Kunjankutty?

Close the door.. - Should I close?

Close. - Should I open it after closing? - Close!

Should I open?

Close.

Start the car. - Go fast.

Tie a sacred amulet soon.

You are in trouble.

You are in trouble.

Well, isn't this Meenakshi from Variyampally?

Why have you come in a scooter?

What do you mean?

Hey, it's me, Dasappan Kutty.

Oh, it was you.

Did you know? The servant of Madampalli told me

that Sridevi is mad.

Observe me closely, Dasappan.

Is there anything weird in my behaviour?

Please check.

Hey..

Mr. Kattuparamban! Hey.

Something is wrong.

Damn.

Sunny. - Yes.

What are you looking for? - Where is the bathroom?

I need to take a bath. - It's that side.

I don't have any clothes to change.

I don't have any clothes to change.

My clothes were in that bag.

Get me some clothes. - Carry on.

I will get you the clothes. - Is it on the right side? - Yes..

Oh, no. Where are my clothes?

Hey, lady.

Why are you silent?

Who took my clothes?

I am asking you. Who is this?

This isn't a woman. I am a man..

This isn't a woman. I am a man..

A man? Who is that?

It's me.. - Who is this?

It's me. Dr. Sunny, who came in the afternoon.

Is it?

Give me my clothes back.

I kept it aside as I was going to take a bath. - Oh, no. I wore it.

This is funny! How will I come outside?

I have a solution. I'll give you the clothes now..

Did you understand me?

I wanted to see you. When can I?

Shut up! How dare you talk like that?

You look so indecent. Give me my clothes.

Give me my clothes back.

Stop.. Nobody else will know.

Just the two of us.

Please spare some time for me. I'll see to it.

Bloody scoundrel! If you talk nonsense

I will slap you.

What will others think if they hear this?

Hey, give my clothes back. - Here is it! You ruined my chat.

Oh, no.

I reached here in the afternoon.

We had met near the bathroom.

You didn't ask me who I am.

You could have at least asked me why I am here.

I know.

You are the doctor who had come from the US to treat me.

Oh, so you know everything.

Okay, now you have a doctor.

Now I need a patient to treat.

That's why I am being held here.

Everyone may treat me.

You have agreed that you are a patient.. Good.

Are you not going to bed?

Come. I'll show you the room.

Don't bother where and when I sleep.

You may pretend like I am not even here.

What did you feel when you saw Sridevi?

I saw her. There are problems.

It's not that serious.

It's at a primary stage. We can cure it.

Go to sleep. Nothing will happen tonight.

Call us if you need anything.

Good night. - Good night.

Sridevi..

Who is it?

Who is it? - Nakulan..

What's wrong?

I.. There.. Big..

Over there..

That is why..

Shucks!

It was bad.

"Won't you pay a visit?"

"Won't you open the door and enter?"

"Won't you appear in front of me?"

"Won't you satisfy my eyes?"

"I am like a lonely Veena"

"without you to play it."

"without you to play it."

"I am a female figurine"

"without you to decorate it with flowers."

"I am a bird which seeks freedom"

"upon being trapped by a net."

"I am a bird which seeks freedom"

"upon being trapped by a net."

"Won't you pay a visit?"

"Won't you open the door and enter?"

Hey, you!

Stop there!

Why are you roaming around?

Urine.. - Do you pee in the attic?

No. I was about to pee.

Why did you run when you saw me? - My.. My bladders are bursting.

What? When? Why? Where?

I wanted to pee. - Then do it here.

Here? - Go ahead.

Do it.

Water jug. - What?

I saw that.

Water jug.. - Ew!

It's not wise to roam around at night.

Got it, water jug?

I got lucky this time. Got it, water jug?

Water jug.

Water jug.

Sunny..

I see! Did you sleep here last night?

Yes.

It became late once the performance ended.

It became late once the performance ended.

Performance? What performance?

Who is studying classical dance? - No one. - No? - No.

Last night, someone wore anklets and danced in the room upstairs.

Anklets? - Yes.

Did you hear it, Sunny? - I did.

I couldn't see the artist.

It happened in the southernmost room upstairs.

It was locked from the inside.

Who sleeps there at night?

No one does. It is not locked either.

It is the forbidden room. No one sleeps in it.

Maybe I was hallucinating.

Tea. - Let's go there. We'll have tea later. Pass that eyeglass.

Come.

It is not locked.

Isn't it? - No. - Oh! I see.

So this is the infamous southern room.

I see.

Good Lord!

He is the cruel old man, isn't he?

His face gives an idea of his character.

Where's the lady? The dancer.

Come.

There. That is her.

I was wrong. Completely wrong.

What is it? - That old man was innocent. Poor soul!

Why so?

If this woman is Nagavalli

the lover of Ramanathan and the dancer

I see no wrong in that old man abducting her.

How could he resist? What a structure? Oh, Lord!

Don't you want to see Ramanathan's old house? - Yes.

Come.

Over there.

So this is where Nagavalli stood and sang

"Won't you pay a visit?"

"Won't you pay a visit?"

"Won't you open the door and enter?"

"Won't you appear in front of me?" - Do you want to see her ornaments?

Look. Assorted necklaces..

Rings.. More necklaces..

Headdress.. No! Where are the anklets?

I don't see it. - It will be there.

Lord! My tea! I need to go to the washroom.

Hey.. Stop right there.

What is that sound when you walk?

What is that sound?

Anklet. - Where did you find this?

Anklet. - Where did you find this?

I got it from those halls. - I see.

So you are the one who roams around wearing this.

No. - Why hide it then?

That.. If I wear this.. - Wear it?

No. I wanted to find its pair

while carrying this.

So it's fine if I carry it with me.

What? Do you need it? What? - No.

Go, then.

Water jug.. - What?

No. A water jug..

Water jug.

Water jug.

Hey. How do you feel?

Why did you call me like that last night?

Is that a part of the treatment?

Whatever you feel is good, Sridevi.

When we multiply or divide numbers

shouldn't we do it again

even if we feel the answers are correct?

Come again..

When we multiply or divide numbers

When we multiply or divide numbers

shouldn't we do it again to ensure accuracy?

When we multiply or divide numbers..

Oh, no!

Don't touch me! Get lost, filthy pig!

What was he doing through the window?

He is a flirt!

He tried to woo me the day he came here.

Be careful!

Hey. - What?

Get up.. - Let me sleep!

Why don't you visit the temple? - I shall.

Take Sridevi with you as well. - What?

What?

If you are visiting the temple, take Sridevi with you.

Why? - You shouldn't ask me any more questions from now.

I have complete freedom in this house now.

I can even sleep next to Sridevi! Shall I do it?

Consider it to be a part of the treatment.

Don't be annoyed because I said about her.

Visit the temple with her.

Interact closely with her as in your childhood.

Let me see how it goes and observe it.

Is that necessary? - Of course, yes.

It is, Nakulan.

Bless us, Lord!

Bless us, Lord Shiva!

Bless us, Lord Shiva!

I feel sorry for her. Did you decide on her treatment?

Consider all of this a part of the treatment.

Consider all of this a part of the treatment.

Why?

They're cousins.

You will have to think

of another marriage if I stick to this treatment!

What are you saying?

Is that the impression you have of Nakulan, Sunny?

I was just kidding. Leave it.

You always see the negative side of things!

Yes.. Maybe, you got that right.

I think something is wrong with the southern room of the manor.

In the southern room? What is it?

It's just that

I feel some things are happening there.

There are many valuable things in the room.

Look at this.

Where did you get this from? This is Nagavalli's anklet.

The one which is more than 180 years old.

Yes.

You're mistaken. This isn't Nagavalli's anklet.

This isn't even five years old.

Which means..

Nagavalli's anklet is missing from the southern room.

Nagavalli's anklet is missing from the southern room.

No, this is it.

It's just a lookalike. - Stop it, Sunny.

I'm a graduate in archaeology. This is Nagavalli's anklet.

You know nothing, Ganga! This isn't that anklet.

Yes, it is.. - What if it's not?

What if it is? - No, it's not. - Yes, it is.

Why so sure? - I know! I've learned about this!

I've learned more than you, and I'm sure it's fake!

Don't argue! - Who is arguing?

Is it me? - Is it me?

I could prove that this isn't Nagavalli's

and you know nothing. - Are you sure?

Enough! There is no point in arguing. Just leave..

Shucks!

What is it, Sunny?

She is just arguing. It's annoying.

She thinks only she could be right.

She is your wife but she can't just..

Why are you childish?

Leave it. - Okay. You may leave. I shall come later. - Okay.

"Don't you know that I can't live if you aren't with me?"

"Just like fish can't thrive without water."

"It's been a long wait for you."

"It's been a long wait for you."

"I'm in tears, but I'll never be tired of waiting for you."

"Can't you hear the sound"

"of the anklets that adorn my feet?"

"Can't you hear"

"the song of my sorrow?"

Who is it?

Who is it?

Answer me!

It's me, Shankaran Thampi!

You scoundrel! Open the door..

Open the door, I say!

Who are you? - What?

Demon! How dare you?

Demon! How dare you?

It's me, Nagavalli.

Why are you here? - To murder you!

I'll murder you and drink your blood!

Open the door! - Hey!

You can't murder me, Nagavalli!

I will! I swear I will!

I will murder you on the upcoming 'Durga Ashtami'!

Only then would the score be settled!

Come on the 'Durga Ashtami.'

Leave now, Nagavalli! Leave, I say!

I will.. I will leave for now.

But I'll come back for sure. I'll murder you and feast on your blood!

Nakulan.

We shouldn't be worried anymore.

The Gods have been merciful, and we could be relieved now.

Brahmadattan Nampoothirippadu has agreed to help us, and so, there is

nothing to worry anymore.

He hasn't looked at the problem yet.

In case if some rituals are to be performed here.. Sit down.

If some rituals are to be performed here

he said he'd come here.

He has also suggested

that we should organise the 'Navaratri' festival of the temple

like it was done in the past.

Please don't say no to it.

It's for the sake of the whole family.

I've no objections against organising the festival.

You shouldn't approach a sorcerer regarding Sridevi's.. - Stop it!

You shouldn't approach a sorcerer regarding Sridevi's.. - Stop it!

What are you saying?

You know nothing.

Haven't you brought someone here for the sake

of treating Sridevi?

It's dangerous. He would sedate her!

Above all, he is a world-class flirt.

Where is he?

He is here. Look at him. - Where?

Look.. - Where? - In the courtyard.

Damn! What should we do to send him back?

I wonder if he is a doctor for real!

He is driving us crazy!

What I..

Brother-in-law..

Brother-in-law Thampi..

Oh, God!

Why are you creating trouble always?

Why are you creating trouble always?

Wherever I go, you'll follow!

Come here.

What is it?

What course are you studying? - BA.

What's your elective? - Hindi.

What? - Hindi!

How do you know Tamil?

What? - Don't try to fool me. I'll hypnotise you!

Do you perform mimicry at college? - No.

Why did you speak Tamil imitating a woman's voice last night?

Answer me!

It's written all over you that you are arrogant.

I've seen you in many suspicious circumstances.

I won't spare you.

Why do you walk around at night?

Is it to pee? How come your bladder is full all the time?

Tell me the truth!

Don't force me into hypnotising you!

I too want to know the secrets behind this.

Everyone is branding my sister as insane.

I know.

Hey.. Chanthu.

Hey. I was just kidding.

I didn't know that you were this soft at heart.

It's sad that I can't crack a joke.

Wear this.

Here. Everyone here is serious.

Come. Let us go. Come.

Come.

Now I will tell you something which is not a joke.

You must not wander around at night.

Murder may happen

in this manor, soon.

Does my face look as if I am joking?

It's not a joke.

It can happen anytime.

Any day.

It won't go beyond the day of 'Durga Ashtami'.

It won't go beyond the day of 'Durga Ashtami'.

Only you know about it.

No one else should know about this.

What can we do about it?

Let us see.

Do you trust me?

Yes. - Then where is this place called Evoor?

Evoor? It is far away.

Okay. The two of us

must go there today.

Let's take Alli's bicycle and go.

What? It's 70 kilometres from here. We can only go by bus. - Just 70?

We shall go by bicycle itself. Go and get Alli's bicycle. Quick!

"Though the spring passed"

"that the one I love is arriving."

"The cuckoo sang.."

"I heard footsteps at my doorstep"

"for a matter of seconds."

"For a matter of seconds."

Isn't anyone here?

Who are you? - We are coming from Pullattupuram.

Who are you? - We are coming from Pullattupuram.

Brahmadattan Nampoothirippadu sent us.

He has given a list of offerings to be made and an amulet.

The amulet is for sacred rituals.

He will reach here on the day of 'Durga Ashtami'.

Well..

So it means that there is something to worry..

He will say that when he comes. Arrange the things for the ritual.

He asked everyone

in the family, including the servants to be vigilant.

And if anybody falls sick, he has asked

to take special care of them.

We shall leave.

Well, shall we serve you food?

No.

Anything to drink?

He instructed us not to eat anything from here.

Didn't you all hear that? What will we do now?

We have to take extra care of Sridevi, it seems.

If they have asked us to take care..

She must be locked up.

Why are you so adamant about locking up Sridevi?

We will decide what to do. - I just said my opinion.

You are the one to be locked up.

You are insane. He is from the US, it seems!

Are there any more sharp edge tools left in the kitchen?

Where are you taking all these?

We are going to form a mafia.

These are for our daily use.

Just answer my question. Is there anything left?

Okay. - It's there, Chanthu.

There is one more.

Take it. - Throw it.

This.. Who threw it there?

Tell me. This..

Nakulan!

Nakulan!

Nakulan!

Don't drink that, Nakulan!

The tea was poisoned.

Didn't I tell you that Sridevi should be locked up?

Sridevi should be locked up.

Sridevi should be locked up.

Leave me.. No! Dad!

Dad! No! - Stop. - Leave me..

No! Leave me.

Oh, no.

Open the door..

Open the door. Oh, no.

No! I won't allow this.

Oh, no.

Open the door.

Open the door!

Oh, no.

I won't allow this..

Tell that doctor to give me poison

which was added in that tea.

Let me die..

What does he think? - Move aside.

Move.

Tell me. Did I do that?

Tell me. Did I do that?

Tell me. Did I do that?

A snake-doctor

from Africa..

from Africa..

Shanthamma told me, a psychiatrist from America had come here.

I came to see him.

I'm that lucky guy. - How do you do? - Fine.

Dasappan Kutty, Rajappan and Kuttappan are saying

there is some change in my behaviour.

Please check me, Doctor.

There is something wrong.

Then treat me immediately.

Yes.. After some time. - Okay.

I have locked

someone inside and is treating her. - Okay.

After that, I'll treat you. Now, you may go. - Okay.

Don't touch the water while going back.

It's dangerous even to touch it. - Okay..

Water. - What?

There's water there.

Water.

Water.

Water..

'Navaratri' festivals were not conducted for long.

If Brahmadattan Nampoothirippadu orders it, I can't say no. - Okay.

It's just three days. Let's make it grant - That's it. - That's it.

Didn't you know?

There is 'Kathakali' in your temple, today.

Why don't we watch it? - It's boring. Should we watch it?

No, let's not miss it after coming to this village.

Okay, let's go.

Let's go. I'm ready. - One minute. - Okay.

Everybody has taken Sridevi there.

Sridevi? - Yes.

Sridevi? - Yes.

What have they done?

Uncle is adamant that everyone in the family must be present.

They're going to do some rituals, opposing you.

It's okay. Let's see how it goes?

Ganga.

Ganga.

Ganga.

Ganga.

Ganga.

Where is Ganga?

Where is Ganga, Sunny?

I asked you, where Ganga is. - Come, let's search for her.

You..

Ganga. - Listen to me. I did nothing.

She did it to.. - Ganga.

Let me go. Listen to me.

Listen to me. I did nothing. - Don't say a word. - Nakulan.

Sunny! - What's this? - Leave me. - Don't do anything.

Go and check Ganga. Go..

I did nothing. She.. - I know..

Cool down. I need your help. - Ganga. - Come.

Come.

You're going to know some painful things

much before I thought you would know.

Listen with utmost patience.

Listen with utmost patience.

The mental patient in Madampalli

who tried to kill Alli

and set fire on Ganga's sari

is not Sridevi like you think.

That mental patient is your Ganga.

I understood the day I came here

that Sridevi is not mentally ill.

When Sridevi was called insane

the real patient was roaming freely in disguise.

That patient was celebrating.

But I didn't know who it was.

That's when I went to the southern room

with Ganga.

I started to experience

some psychic vibrations

from her at that moment.

I painfully realised

that the mental patient in Madampalli

that the mental patient in Madampalli

is the one standing near to me.

How and when did this start in Ganga?

I had doubt whether Sridevi's presence was the reason

behind Ganga's illness, as she was once your fiancee.

To check that I asked you to visit the temple with Sridevi.

But I was convinced that Ganga was not at all affected by that.

I then tried to provoke her

by talking something about Nagavalli.

I started arguing about the genuineness of the anklet.

She started responding violently to it.

For the first time, I saw the glimpse

of this supernatural presence shining in her eyes.

She almost transformed to Nagavalli for a moment.

That's the illness.

Sometimes she transforms to Nagavalli.

Just like some news in the newspapers

that an 11-year-old Muslim girl

starts behaving like a 71-year-old Brahmin.

starts behaving like a 71-year-old Brahmin.

She talks like the Brahmin and recites Sanskrit verses.

People might say she is possessed.

In Psychiatry, we call it as split personality

dual personality

or possession states just like other mental disorders.

In this case, Ganga believes that she is Nagavalli.

The patient might possess supernatural powers

while suffering from this illness.

While she gets up at midnight from your bed as Nagavalli

She could measure your deep sleep.

She knows the exact time when you will be awake.

She could break things and burn them

without your knowledge during the daytime.

At night she would start dancing by singing Tamil songs

even though she isn't a trained dancer.

But she is not aware that she is doing all this.

I went upstairs at midnight to talk to her

and understood what her objective is.

She was speaking in Tamil.

She was completely exasperated and was in a very brutal mood.

The condition was initially Neurosis

and later it developed into a critical form of Psychosis.

I had to know about Ganga's childhood

to understand the reason behind her illness.

I went with Chanthu

to her hometown, Evoor.

At a big ancestral home in that countryside

she was raised listening to the stories by her grandma.

Her parents had left her with her grandma

when she was three, and they went to Kolkata because of their work.

Every day she used to keep waiting

for her parent's arrival

for her parent's arrival

gazing to a distance while sitting on the balcony.

But they didn't turn up.

While she was studying for her board exams

her teachers were confident that she would be a rank holder.

In between her preparations for the exam, she comes to know

that her parents are returning to take her along with them

and admit her at a college in Kolkata.

She couldn't handle it.

She stopped studying and stayed awake the whole night.

To escape from all these.

The Headmistress still remembers the first day of the exam

where she ran all around the school madly.

That was her first psychic disorder.

She sat obediently for the rituals.

Her parents came

and took her with them to Kolkata.

They would have consulted some psychiatrists there

They would have consulted some psychiatrists there

and he would have suggested some medicines.

Anyway, after that she forgot everything.

She became accustomed to her life at Kolkata.

Still, the possibility of another psychic disorder

was there inside her.

After that, she got married to you.

From your mom, she came to know

about this village and this home of yours.

Then she came here with you.

But here she got attracted

to the beautiful and glittering

stories of the past and all other superstitions.

The sympathy which she had felt for the character of Nagavalli

transformed into empathy, with a strong feeling of oneness.

The feeling that she is Nagavalli

started growing its roots inside her mind.

started growing its roots inside her mind.

Slowly she is starting to transform into Nagavalli.

We shouldn't allow that. We must treat her.

First, we need to make sure

that she isn't aware of this mental illness.

Apart from us

there is another person here who is aware of this.

It's Sridevi.

One day, I felt that Ganga's illness

was about to get exposed in front of everyone.

To avoid that I locked Sridevi inside her room.

When I informed her everything

she was ready to act

as a mentally ill person for the sake of you and Ganga.

Nakulan.

Nakulan.

Please open this door.

Who locked this? Nakulan.

Nakulan, did you see this?

I had worn this saree yesterday while going to the temple.

It's fully torn now.

Look at this.

Sridevi would have done it.

Who else can do it? - It's okay. How was yesterday's program?

I couldn't see it until the end. I don't remember when I came back.

Mahadevan, when did you come? - A few minutes back.

Nakulan, you should have called me.

Have a seat. I will prepare some coffee for everyone.

Nakulan.

What happened? What is this?

Hey. Control yourself.

Cool down. Relax. - Sunny.

Relax.

One moment, please.

The house where you are staying right now

used to be the residence of a dancer named Ramanathan.

Whenever Ganga transforms to Nagavalli

she starts believing that you are her lover, Ramanathan.

And she thinks that Nakulan is that cruel old man.

The rape attempt which happened last night

was a part of the drama which the patient in her was trying to enact.

She wanted to ruin your marriage with Alli by trying to frame

that you tried to rape her.

So that she would not lose her Ramanathan.

Similarly, there is a reason behind everything

Similarly, there is a reason behind everything

that has been happening in this house.

Everything was done by Nagavalli in her to achieve certain things.

It's difficult to free Ganga from Nagavalli now.

Which means?

By tonight

Ganga would be transformed completely into Nagavalli.

That means she would turn completely insane.

Then Ganga could never return to her real self.

Only two outcomes can be expected now.

Either, Nakulan will be killed by her.

Or else, Ganga would commit suicide.

At least, I need to save Nakulan. - What about Ganga?

I might have to sacrifice Nakulan's life to save Ganga.

If I try to save Nakulan, then Ganga would commit suicide.

I don't think I can save both of them.

We have to forget one of them forever.

Otherwise, some miracle should happen.

Greetings. - Greetings. - Greetings.

Please come. - Join him.

I have to say something important to you.

I need to share that with you urgently.

That is why I came here hurriedly.

Let's sit somewhere facing the north. - Let's sit there.

Sit down.

How is the festival going on in your temple?

We haven't compromised on anything. - Okay. - It's going on well.

Tomorrow is the last day. - What about the rituals I mentioned?

Tomorrow is the last day. - What about the rituals I mentioned?

That is going fine too. - That's good. - Okay.

I looked into your daughter's issue in detail. - Okay.

She has bad luck now. She might have difficulties.

I was shocked when I performed

the ritual for the house.

An early death might happen in this house.

I was shocked to find that it has already happened.

What? - Don't worry, Thampi.

With God's grace, it might go away.

I feel like I have seen him somewhere.

Who is that?

He..

That's so sad. I forgot where I met him.

I just can't recognise him.

You forgot. We met in America..

Yes. Sunny! - Yes.

You are impossible, Sunny.

You almost fooled me. It's amazing.

How could I forget you? I never thought that I'd meet you here.

It's a surprise. Prodigy! You have put on weight.

You shouldn't have called me regarding your daughter's problem

while he was here.

I think you don't know him well. He is world famous.

He is a modern-day Einstein. He is brilliant.

Famous psychiatrist Bradley was his professor.

He invited me to America once to present a paper

on parapsychology while we were in Delhi.

He was Bradley's junior then. Do you know?

He was Bradley's junior then. Do you know?

In modern psychiatry

he wrote two of the most famous theses.

This brilliant man. - Sir. - Prodigy!

I need to talk to you in private. - Okay.

We'll stay here today. I need to know everything.

Thampi. - Yes. - Bring two chairs outside.

I have seen many stages of psychosis

but nothing as serious as this.

Does her husband still live with her? - Yes.

He is your close friend. Why didn't you ask him

to stay away from his wife?

Ganga will last not more than 20 hours in her current state.

Ganga will last not more than 20 hours in her current state.

Let them be together at least until then.

Sunny! What do you mean?

Tell him the truth. At least let him be at peace.

No. I still have hours left.

I say this to you from experience and because I like you.

You can't treat her. It is incurable.

You know the human mind more than most people.

I consider you as one of my teachers.

But I need to defy you all.

I'll have to defy everything I've studied.

I might have to take an unconventional route

like a crazy man. For my friend Nakulan and his wife.

I'm going to break all conventional concepts of psychiatry.

That's nice, Sunny. I won't discourage you.

I trust you completely. You can try.

I trust you completely. You can try.

But what are you going to do?

There are a lot of methods to treat Ganga, but they all end up in zero.

I'm not needed for that. She grew up listening to horror stories

and seeing black magic being performed.

I need your help

to bring back that old vibe.

I also need the atmosphere you can help setup for me.

An atmosphere of old magic.

Don't worry about it. I'll support you.

I need to do something dangerous first. Don't stop that, please.

Ganga should understand that she is sick before tonight.

I'm going to inform her now.

You are worried. I know.

She won't outlive the moment she knows that.

Death may happen.

But I have decided.

Ganga must know that she is insane

from her husband.

If she survives that reality

I will get a ray of hope.

I can follow that.

Sir, do pray.

Bless me.

Ganga is getting ready to buy ornaments for Alli.

Go to her and ask her not to go.

I have never said no to her till date.

But you must say that!

You must show no mercy when you say it.

Don't allow her no matter how much she begs you.

You must not give up even if you see her sudden change.

You must call her back

with all the love you have for her.

with all the love you have for her.

Go.

Okay. I'll go.

Where are you going, Ganga?

Well, didn't I tell you that I'm going

to purchase gold for Alli?

Ganga, you shouldn't go.

What? Shouldn't I go?

No. - Didn't I tell you today morning?

What changed your mind?

You shouldn't go, Ganga.

Why? Why can't I go with Alli to purchase ornaments?

Don't go, I say!

Why? Why can't I go?

Don't go!

Won't you let me go?

Won't you let me go?

Won't you let me go anywhere?

Worthless scum!

How dare you stand in front of me even now?

Today is 'Durga Ashtami'!

I will kill you, feast on your blood

and rejoice in it!

Ganga!

Ganga!

Nakulan.

What did I say just now?

What did I say just now?

What did I say just now?

What did I just say? - No, you haven't said anything.

You haven't said anything, Ganga. - No. I just said something.

Please tell me, Nakulan. What is wrong with me, Nakulan?

There is nothing wrong with you. - There is.

There is something wrong with me, Nakulan.. - No, Ganga.

Everything is all right, Ganga. Please don't cry.

Nakulan. Please don't hate me, Nakulan.

Ganga.

Oh, God!

Ganga.. - Yes.

Please don't start to hate me, Nakulan.

No, dear. Never.

Ganga. - Nakulan.

What would you like? - May I sleep for some time?

Sunny!

What are you planning to do with Ganga?

Tell me!

Are you planning to throw her to sorcerers?

I won't let you do that! Never!

Nakulan, let me.. - No!

Don't explain any further.

I saw her. I saw her for real.

I'm taking her. I'd take her to any part of the world.

But I'll never leave her in your hands.

Listen to me.. - No, you need not! - Nakulan!

Let me go! - You can't take her! - I will! - Listen!

Let me go, Sunny! - Just listen!

Nakulan! - Let me go, Sunny! - Just listen.. - Sunny!

She doesn't need your bloody treatment!

Great! Take her then!

Just know one thing!

No drugs nor any doctors would be able to treat her!

No drugs nor any doctors would be able to treat her!

It'd be easy for me to treat her with medicines!

I can give you an entirely new version of herself!

But she'll be nothing more than a dummy!

Would that be enough? Say it.

I am trying to bring her back

to the person she used to be. With full of life and joy.

And for that.. You must give me another night!

Just one last night. Please!

You can take as long as you want to, Sunny.

I just need her back.

I need her back.

Let's try one last time.

I'm making the necessary arrangements for it.

She might hurt you.

She may get violent and even try to kill you.

She may exhibit behaviours that you'd find hard to forgive.

Sunny.

It doesn't matter what happens to me.

It doesn't matter what happens to me.

It doesn't matter if she hurts me.

Let her kill me if she wants to.

But you must bring her back.

Please, Sunny. - I will..

Trust me.

Nagavalli must be brought

and seated at that tantric circle.

Only Mahadevan will be able to bring her.

"Did you come to visit me?"

"Did you come to visit me?"

"Did you come to visit me?"

"Did you understand my wishes?"

"Did you fulfil this girl's wishes?"

"Did you express your love to me?"

"My mind speaks your name, my love.."

"My beloved."

"I am the one who lives for you."

"While you know"

" that my heart longs for you."

"Did you come to visit me?

"Did you come to visit me?"

"Like a full moon in your heart"

"the thoughts about me rise."

"Like a new tender flower in clear waters"

"my eyes fill your mind."

"While my long desire sprung up as a disease of love."

"While my long desire sprung up as a disease of love."

"While the fire of my anger still burns brightly."

"While I rise and destroy all the obstacles."

"While this heart beats for you"

"with ever-lasting love."

"Did you come to visit me?"

"Did you come to visit me?"

"Did you come to visit me?"

"Did you understand my wishes?"

"You are the elite among beautiful women."

"Oh, elegant one! You resemble the moon's shine."

"Nagavalli, you are my beloved."

"I, Ramanathan, seek you."

"The elite poets penned your words, dear."

"The elite poets penned your words, dear."

"Your saga will live forever."

"All of the Tamilian Kingdom, my beauty"

"All of the Tamilian Kingdom, my beauty"

"was filled with your sweet words."

"All of the Tamilian Kingdom, my beauty"

"was filled with your sweet words."

Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go!

Leave me!

I must kill him!

Let me go!

Demon!

Leave me!

Let me go!

Let me go!

I must kill him!

Let me go!

Who are you?

I won't tell you.

Who are you? - I won't say it.

Won't you say it? - No!

I am Nagavalli.

Sit. - No.

Sit inside the tantric circle.

No.

Sit!

Why are you here?

I'm here to kill.

To kill whom?

I'm here to kill him.

Today is 'Durga Ashtami'.

I must kill him and feast on his blood.

I shall help you with that.

Will you leave this body after taking revenge by killing him?

Yes..

Promise me. - I promise you..

Bring him here.

Leave me.

Leave me.. I am going to kill him.

I am going to drink his blood.

Today is 'Durga Ashtami.' I am going to kill you.

I am going to drink your blood.

I am going to take my revenge.

Hey.

Leave me.

I want to kill him.

Take this. Kill him.

Leave me.

You hear my sound in your subconscious mind.

The person who hears this is Ganga.

You are Ganga.

You are Ganga.

You are Ganga.

Ganga will return to her conscious mind in three seconds.

Relax.

Tell me. Who are you?

Tell me. Who are you? - I am Ganga.

Tell me your full name. - Ganga Nakulan.

You are happy now. Too happy.

Yes.

Do you realise that you are completely fine now?

I realise it.

You are going to wake up slowly, Ganga.

Wake up.. Come on.

Do you recognise me?

Why did you ask me that, Sunny?

You had a rare disease.

I cured it completely.

You will never get it back.

I assure you.

I know. I trust you, Sunny.

Thank you, Sunny. - Okay.

You want to know what happened, right?

When both of you are alone

in any of your private moments

Nakulan will tell you about it like a funny story.

To you, who is always interested in listening to stories.

That's not needed, Sunny.

I understood everything.

I am thankful to a lot of people.

I am thankful to you and Sridevi.

But I don't know

how to thank my Nakulan.

For loving me a lot.

No.

Did you hear that?

I promised you that I would return your loving wife safely.

The same old Ganga who was full of life.

That was my wish.

Take her.

You both are lucky.

No other couple in this world would have loved each other like you.

You can go anywhere now.

I have some works to do.

What is it?

Living with mad people is difficult.

It's even more difficult to live with a psychiatrist.

If you are fine with it

can I send my mother here with a marriage proposal?

We are Christians, and we don't believe in bad horoscopes.

Excuse me. I will send my mother here.

Where are you all going?

Sunny, I want to be with Nakulan.

He should understand that.

Kolkata will be good for that.

We are going back now. - Very good. I will come now..

Go this way. - Yes, I will go inside.

Come soon. - Okay.

Chanthu. - Yes. This one too.

Bye.

When will you come back here, old man?

Don't make fun of me.

I have locked the Tamil lady alone. The old man is still here.

Be careful.

We don't need to be careful. We will love to have you with us.

Water jug. - What?

How are you, Kattuparamban? Do you step on water now?

One second. Let me check.

Show me your tongue.

Is that the problem? I will cure it now.

The problem was here.

A bird flew from here. - Yes. That was the problem.

Now you can step on the water.

Can I take a bath now? - Yes, you can.

Is my behaviour okay? - It is okay.

So now I am completely cured. - You were not sick.

It was a mild mental disorder.

We have a complicated term for this.

Oh! I understood that earlier.

Oh! I understood that earlier.

Bye. - Okay.

Okay. Bye.

I..

Oh, no. Don't do it.

I have a wish.

I have told that to someone in here.

When you get to know about it, you should agree and bless us.

Bye.

Stop here..

Did Sridevi get cured fully?

Sridevi was not mad.

Then who?

What?

"My eyes yearn to see my loved one"

"while I run towards the door."

"The lovely tree in my dreams"

"blooms at that time'"

"The lovely tree in my heart."
