Original subtitles

The purpose behind the production of this film...

...is to instill in children a sense of self-confidence.

To help them survive every tough situation in life.

Which will enable them to fight superstition, blind-faith...

...and make them stronger human-beings.

Even if it deals with the whiz kids playing on computers or mere toys.

Down with the Police Commissioner!

Commissioner of Police... Shame! Shame!

Down with the Commissioner!

How can you remain silent after listening to the din outside?

Do I have to remind you what these people are mourning?!

People whose hearts are on fire, can only mourn, Sir!

And you're listening to the wailing and hiding behind a cloud of smoke?!

The cloud of smoke is my personal affair, Sir.

You have been given this case and the relevant file, Yadav!

I know that, Sir.

It's only a few days ago that I've been entrusted with this case.

And it's been months since children are being abducted.

And what have you done about that, so far?

After having gone through the file, I've come to the conclusion that...

...that the kidnapping have been taking place around Moonless nights.

The person behind all this appears have a special motive to the crime.

There has been no ransom-demand from parents of the children.

And several parents of the children abducted...

...are very ordinary people and extremely poor, too.

What I fear, Sir... is that the kids might not even be alive anymore.

That's what I think, Sir.

Should something happen to the children, Yadav...

...their parents will skin us alive!

And I'll hold you responsible for the consequences.

Haven't I told you, Sir, that I've only just received the file?

I'm human, too... I can't wave a magic-wand & solve the case, can I?

Still, I'll give this case everything I have.

I've never let my job be subjected to ridicule.

And the whole department knows how obsessed I am with my work!

Give me a penny... Please!

Help! They're taking the child away! Leave the kid alone!

They're taking the kid away!

Leave the kid alone!

Let me go!

They're taking the child away! Stop them! Help!

We've made it today... But we can't escape again!

All I can see in this black-magic scheme is a hangman's noose!

We still have time... let's drop everything and escape.

After sacrificing 12 children on 12 moonless-nights...

...where will you go now? It's only a matter of another night.

Once that is over, we'll have the world in our clutches.

We need just one child more.

No, thank you... I won't be able to do it.

Don't be a fool!

Our success is assured...

I can even see the good times ahead.

How about the beggar-woman who's seen us grabbing the kid?

She can very well identify us.

I will not do this anymore!

You're Free now!

Nobody can identify you anymore, even if they know you.

I've seen them very clearly, Sir... I can't ever forget them. Never!

Go over the incident once again and describe his appearance.

His appearance? Yes, Sir!

He looked terribly dangerous, Sir... He had blood-shot eyes...

...dirty, long hair...

He had big eyes, Sir... I remember that!

Is this the man?

Exactly! He's the one, Sir! He's the culprit!

Have copies of this sketch displayed all over town...

...we must watch out for this man everywhere!

We aren't very far from this man now.

The latest! The hottest! Children kidnapped in city!

"I'm a tramp"

"Whether I'm rising or falling, I'm always a star"

"I'm a tramp"

"Don't break my heart"

"Don't walk away in a huff, my love"

"Come to me, my love"

"I'm illiterate. I can neither read nor write"

"I'm such a silly village bumpkin..."

"I just couldn't realise..."

"that's in love with me..."

"that she's crazy about me"

Give me a match, Constable.

- I don't have a match, Sir. - Don't have it?!

Let's find one ahead.

When you already know how much I smoke, you must carry a match-box.

Excuse me!

Could you have a match, please?

Stop there!

Your name I carve on my heart...

You're my Master; I'm your slave...

To you I bequeath my soul...

The darkness of the nights is nothing but a shroud...

...and my life, I dedicate to you.

You shall be the protector of my blood...

...for you shall I spill my blood.

With the ashes of the dead, from the graveyards...

...use your might, O worshipper of Satan...

May there be smoke billowing everywhere...

Get the crowds out of the way!

Out of the way! Move!

- How many dead in the fire? - Just one.

- Who was he? - He was the man...

...who was behind the abduction of kids.

- Let us have some details, Sir... - Take it from the Police Station.

One more question, Sir... Just a minute!

Be careful...

Sir...

...there's no one at the kid's house.

- No one? What do you mean? - I mean...

...he only has a sister who's not in.

She's at the Patkar Hall for a show.

Does she leave her brother behind to watch a show?!

Not to "watch" the show, Sir... She's performing in it.

"O admirers..."

"get a grip on your hearts"

"Let's sing together..."

"the song of love"

"So come..."

"sing with me..."

"sing..."

"a new song"

"There's melody in my songs"

"In my songs is the essence of life"

"As I come and go, I will always sing..."

"to entertain your hearts"

"The world sways with me. Forget your sorrows, join me"

"Come, sing with me..."

"sing a new song..."

"Nights of captivating stories..."

"how can anyone forget his youthful days?"

"On my lips are stories of beautiful evenings..."

"my companions are new, but memories I hold dear are old"

"It's heady enough for anyone to be driven crazy"

"Gift someone your heart and tell him how you feel"

"Come, sing with me..."

"sing a song that is refreshingly new"

What are you doing here?

- What's the matter, Inspector? There's nothing to worry about now.

- "Now"?! - Your brother Raju...

...was kidnapped from the school today.

He's a very brave boy.

It's thanks to him that the killer was caught by the Law today.

- Nothing's happened to you, I hope. - No, Sister... I'm fine!

I'll never leave you alone again; not even for a moment.

There's no danger anymore.

What remarks do we give to the file of this case, Sir?

Just that the case is closed.

Bring your brother along, too. It's only a journey of 5 hours.

That's not possible, Mr Som. He has monthly-tests at school...

...and I don't want him to miss any of them.

Then leave him with a relative or at a friend's place.

We have no relatives in this city.

As for friends, it does not seem to be the proper thing to do.

I hate putting someone to difficulty.

I'm sorry, I can't do this show for you.

But we've already announced that you are performing in the show.

People are awaiting you, we're even willing to pay your fees in advance.

But how can I leave my brother behind, all alone?

It's a matter of staying overnight, after all.

Try to leave him at someone's place.

I'll pay you the money right now; I'm sure, you'll find a way out...

Please don't bother about the money...

I need some more time to think this over.

What do you have to think so much about?

I can stay back with Raju; It's only a night, after all.

That's all right. But Raju even has those tests in school...

I'm educated, too...

...maybe not so much as to make Raju get a doctorate!

Wonderful! I try to help and all I get in return is a "shut up"!

I'm really thankful to you.

That'll be a favour you'll be doing me, by staying with Raju.

A favour?! You couldn't keep that word out, could you?

I'm being honest, Mona... lt's most necessary for me to do this show.

The money I get from the show will atleast help me educate my brother.

Get ready to leave for the show; And don't worry about Raju...

I promise you, I won't even let Raju miss you!

I'm just not going to stay back alone!

- Atleast hear me out, Raju... - No! I will not listen to you!

Okay! Don't listen to me!

Go ahead and be obstinate... I will not go anywhere at all!

I'll spend all my time with you in future!

I will not even work for a living!

I agree to stay with Mona. That's a promise.

I can't stay away from you for a moment, too.

But what can I do? I'm helpless.

If I don't perform in these shows, how will we meet our expenses?

How will I pay your school-fees and meet other expenses?

I'll never be stubborn again; neither will I ask for chocolates.

- Are you angry with me? - Not at all.

Then won't you ask me for things? Aren't you the one only I have?

Here's a toy-gun, Madam... It's excellent.

- Do you want it? - No.

The best stuff here, lady. Help yourself.

I want that doll!

A doll?! That's something only girls play with!

- But that's a talking-doll! - Take it, Madam...

...it's going cheap. You won't get such a bargain again.

- How much does it cost? - 125 Rupees.

A 125 Rupees?! No thank you! That's a rip-off!

But I want the doll!

Buy it, Madam, I'll reduce the price to a 100 Rupees for the kid. Okay?

Go ahead and buy it, Sis...

- Are you happy now? - Sure, I am!

Let's go home.

- You should've been a girl! - Why is that?

It's only girls who play with dolls. D'you know that?

But not with a doll like this one; even boys play with such dolls.

I see! And what's so special about this doll?

- Well then, talk to it... - Talk to it?!

- Yes. Tell the doll your name... - Well, okay...

My name is Karisma...

And I'm Channi. Will you make friends with me?

That's really a wonderful doll!

Aren't you ready yet? There's a cab waiting downstairs for you!

- I'm ready to leave. - Then hurry up!

Now look, Raju, don't pester her; I'll return soon.

Thanks a lot for this lovely doll, Sis.

Now that's a crazy boy!

Well, Mona... look after yourself; thanks a lot for everything.

Let's skip the nonsense; You'd better hurry down.

Ask the driver to be careful; that's a lousy weather you have outside.

Well now, my boy... Let me take a look at the doll, too.

It's very late. Get up now and go to sleep.

Let me play for a little while more.

Channi says he wants to listen to the news on television.

I'll hear nothing of that; Just get up.

Come along...

Sit down, while I get your clothes.

Change into this set of clothes and quickly go to sleep.

No mischief from you, okay? Go to sleep.

The kidnapper who had spread terror in Mumbai...

...with the abduction of several children...

...was killed in an encounter with the police last night.

He was confronted when he had abducted another child.

Inspector Yadav revealed that the deceased was called Charandas.

Challenged by Inspector Yadav, Charandas rushed into a toy-shop...

...where he was felled by a bullet fired by the police.

Raju? Yes Sister!

Had I asked you to sleep or to switch on the television set?

But I was only changing in there.

Don't lie! Did the television set start on its own then?

Did this doll walk out on its own and perch itself on the sofa?

I'm speaking the truth! It must've been Channi who switched it on!

- He wanted to hear the news. - I hate such jokes, Raju!

Get into bed... Quick.

- Can I have the doll, please? - Here you are.

Now quietly go to sleep. Okay?

Hadn't I told you that she'd get angry?

Go to sleep.

Hi, Mona! This is Karisma here.

Yes, Karisma? Go on...

What's wrong? I hope everything is all right.

Oh, yes. Everything is fine.

Then what's wrong with you? Why are you sounding scared?

Not at all. There's nothing of the sort...

- Tell me about your show. - It's about to begin.

I thought I'd enquire about your well-being in the time I had.

You mean you wanted to enquire about Raju, isn't it?

- About both of you. - The three of us are fine here.

The "three" of you?! Who's the third?!

Raju, I and the new acquaintance you've struck... Channi!

There you go again! Hang up quickly and concentrate on the show.

- You can't go in there! - But it's my house!

Have the body sent for a post-mortem.

What's going on over here?

What are you doing in here?!

- Where's my brother? - He's in his room.

You're fine, aren't you?

Thank God you're okay!

But what's wrong? What are those guys doing in here?

There's been an accident.

That's right. There's been an accident.

Your friend, Mona, has met with an accident.

Mona's met with an accident?!

What's happened to her?! Where is she?!

Follow me...

Where is she?

I'm sorry to break the news to you, but Mona is no more.

- What?! - That's right.

Someone threw her out of the window.

She could even have thrown herself out of the window.

You can see everything for yourself, if you don't believe me.

This way...

Could you tell me what those prints are?

- No. - They're impressions of footprints.

Channi wants to know what's going on over here?

- Channi? Who's that? - My doll, of course.

Go to your room, Raju.

Just a minute, Raju.

Which shoes do you normally wear, son?

You're under the wrong impression, Inspector.

Now look, Madam... I haven't formed an impression yet.

I'm only performing my duties. That's all.

You are suspecting my brother!

Now look... I suspect no one; I only discharge my duty.

And right now I'm wondering whom those foot-prints belong to.

I can tell you that!

You? Do you know whose foot-prints those were?

- Of course, I know it... - You know nothing, Raju!

Haven't I asked you to go to your room? Go away!

Please leave us alone... Your work is over now, isn't it?

Please take these men away.

Is this what you will do to my brother?!

Please don't bother us anymore!

That's a hot-tempered girl, Sir! She should have been a cop!

Put this away in a safe place.

A hammer? Such a small one?! Must kiss the objects it strikes, what?!

We've got to put this thing through a test...

...so that we can get the killer's finger-prints.

I want the post-mortem and the finger-print reports quickly. Okay?

This hammer couldn't kill a fly! How would it kill anyone else?

Why are you crying, Sis?

What could have happened to Mona... my friend...

She's dead.

She was the only friend I had... She was such a big support.

She used to love me so much.

Why then did she go away? Why did she have to die?

It was necessary for her to go away.

Channi didn't like her at all.

He even said that it would be best for her to die.

Never speak like that! Who teaches you that rubbish?

Channi, the doll does.

But Channi is a lifeless doll! It's only a toy! Okay?

Come along...

- May I take the doll, too? - Go ahead.

See that, Channi? Nobody believes me.

What do you say? Why don't you speak?

Speak up... why are you quiet?

Why are you quiet? Speak up...

I'm Channi; will you be my friend?

"All dolled-up..."

"is my Juliet..."

"and people have broken into a cold sweat"

"And people have broken into a cold sweat"

"This spell of unseasonal rains..."

"Rains? - Yes, rains"

"This spell of unseasonal rains..."

"it's as good as it gets in a month of the monsoons"

"There's a high in the way she walks..."

"a high no wine offers"

"From her eyes leap flames..."

"like the lightning flashing in the skies"

"Her looks... are sheer devastation"

"The sight of her inspires me to live on"

"All dolled up..."

"is my Juliet"

"She makes people break into a cold sweat"

Is it necessary for me to go there, too?

Won't you be able to handle it on your own?

I've spoken to my father about you.

And since he wants to meet you now, how can I refuse him?

But you'll be with me, won't you?

Haven't we sworn to be companions forever and ever?

What we'll do is that we'll go to my father...

...and stand before him with folded hands.

What are you standing for? Sit down.

Leave us alone for a moment, Vijay.

Should you remain present here, she won't talk to me freely.

And I want to have a great little chat with her...

...so that we get to know each other well.

Right?

Vijay is indeed a good boy; very decent and obedient.

Fortunate are the parents who have such good children.

- I forget your name... - It's Karisma.

That's right. It's Karisma indeed.

- Your parents are dead, right? - That's right.

- You have a kid brother, too. - That's right.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a professional stage-show performer.

- Is that Indian classical dance? - I couldn't learn classical dances...

But I somehow manage to entertain people and...

Wonderful! Are you fond of reading?

Yes.

Girls of your age normally read romantic novels...

It's your age that makes you do it.

But don't you sometimes feel that Vijay and you...

...are like the characters of the novels you read?

For example, the heroine is a poor, helpless and unsheltered orphan...

...who performs on the stage to earn a living for herself and her brother.

And, one fine day, a young man like Vijay Saxena walks into her life.

A young man who's the only child of his extremely wealthy parents.

Pardon me?

It's as corny as the movies, isn't it?

- Do you watch movies? - Yes; sometimes.

But what happens in films, does not happen in real life. Right?

So why must you aspire for something that is not possible to achieve?

I can't understand what you're getting at...

And I'd thought you could understand every word I uttered!

Anyway, if you want me to come to the point...

...you'd better listen carefully to what I have to say.

As Vijay's father, I can listen to his wishes, but not fulfill them.

Vijay badly wanted me to meet you...

...but I don't want you to meet Vijay ever again.

Because Vijay will be married to someone of our status.

He will be married into a household that commands respect.

He will marry a girl who will bring millions in dowry.

Vijay's a fool!

...to wish to marry you who has a brother too, along with a bad name!

Hey, Karisma! What's wrong? Why are you crying?

I'd heard of the rich & the famous; I wanted to meet them, too.

But I have realised today how petty the rich can be!

Haven't you slept all night, Sir? - It's morning already!

Listen... Study well, okay?

Give me a ticket for Borivali.

Where's Channi gone?!

Where's Channi?!

Raju! You're okay, aren't you?

Why did you have to bring my brother here from school?

Not from school; we've brought him here from Borivali.

Borivali?! But I personally dropped him at school!

Sure, you did! But he left the school and went straight...

...to Inspector Yadav's house at Borivali.

And he has mercilessly killed Inspector Yadav there!

What?! You mean my brother has killed the Inspector, do you?!

How can a child commit a murder?!

And why are you quiet, Raju? Why don't you tell him that you went to school?!

Speak up, Raju... Answer me!

What'll he say?

I've personally brought him here from the scene of crime. Ask him!

Did you really go to Borivali?

That's right, Sister... The doll dragged me there.

What nonsense! The doll asked you to go there, eh?!

- That's right. - Don't lie, Raju!

But that's the truth! The doll asked me to take it there.

Speak up, my friend... Speak up! Why are you quiet?!

Why don't you say something? Speak up!

Do you see the state you have reduced the poor child to?

But you can't bear to see the state he's reduced the Inspector to!

What do you want to prove by accusing a innocent child of murder?

It's something you know about!

Your friend Mona was killed in your own house...

And who was present in the house then? That "innocent" Raju?!

You'd dropped him at school, right? And where did we pick him up from?

From Borivali! From outside Inspector Yadav's house!

What does that prove? Tell me!

It proves nothing... but I'm sure you will certainly prove it so!

That an innocent little boy is a killer and a murderer!

Who can throw people 10 times his weight out of the window!

Who even kills a responsible and smart Police Inspector!

Well, okay then... Go ahead and hang this boy!

And fulfill a desire even your father badly wanted to...

Had I harmed someone in your family...

...you could have made me the target of your revenge.

But what harm has my poor little brother done to you?

Why are you thirsting for our lives?

I had even left town, to go far away from you.

How should I have known that you would follow me even here?!

But I'll go away from here... I'll leave this town, too!

I'll really quit this city.

Forget the city, you'll have to...

...inform the police even when you move out of the locality!

You will not be allowed to go out or play anymore!

Not until you speak the truth! Do you get that?

But it's true, Sister... It was Channi who...

Channi cannot even speak! You're lying!

And do you realise how embarrassed I have been with your lies?

But I'm not lying, Sister! I am not l-y-i-n-g!

Well, all right! Carry on with your falsehoods!

Open the door, Sister!

Open the door, Sister... I'm not lying!

Believe me, Sister... Channi had asked me to accompany him.

I'm not lying... Please open the door!

I'm speaking the truth... Please open the door!

I don't know what got into me...

Please forgive me.

I will never scold you again.

You cut a sorry picture yourself! And you want me to be a fool, too?

Do you know what will happen if I place this file before my seniors?

To begin with, I'll lose my job with you...

...and we'll be assured of a place in the nut-house!

- But that's the truth! - Truth, my foot!

Do you want me to believe that a 6-year old is a killer?!

A kid who can't even tie his nappies together...

...can murder an Inspector who's smart and alert like Yadav?

I think you're very tired.

Take my advice... go on a vacation.

And return only when you stop getting such crazy ideas!

Meanwhile, let me handover this case to another officer.

No, Sir! Please give me another opportunity... a little more time!

But there's a condition.

I will not accept such cock-and-bull stories again. Okay?

There's another thing.

Before our seniors get nosy and mess around with the case...

...I want this case solved and the file returned to me.

You may go now.

Fetch me a towel from my room.

Give it to me... Quick!

Aren't you ready yet?

But I've been ready and waiting for you from pretty long.

Let's go... we might get late in reaching the theater.

Give me some money! I'm terribly hungry!

- Take your hands away! - Let me have some money...

Give it to me! Please! I'm starving!

Where are you taking the kid? Let him go! Leave him alone!

Leave the kid alone! Where are you taking him?!

Give me a coin! Please! I am so hungry

The Karisma Musical Nite is a Maharaja Whiteline presentation

"Watch out! Beware!"

"What's the truth? It's necessary to find out"

"Keep away from pretty faces. They have evil at heart"

"They're impostors. Let me say what I have to..."

"else, you'll die a premature death"

"I'm Karisma..."

"my gaze is fatal"

"On my face..."

"I wear, a pair of magical dark glasses"

"There's something my dark eyes are trying to tell you"

"But no one can understand what they're getting at"

"I never miss my mark"

"All people watch me"

"It's a bit dark, there's little light"

"Something or the other is about to happen"

"It's a crucial hour. Life's in peril"

"Something is about to give"

"I'm Karisma..."

"my gaze is fatal"

"On my face..."

"I wear, a pair of magical dark glasses"

What's your problem this time, Inspector Vijay?

There's been another murder.

Murder?!

You'll have to accompany us to the Police Station. Let's go...

This is something that demands attention, Miss Karisma.

If you were performing on stage, who drove your car away?

Haven't I told you that my brother can't even turn the steering...

...how would he ever drive the car?!

So then, who was the one driving the car?

It was the doll.

Everybody knows that this is a lifeless doll.

It's a toy kids play with!

Neither can it speak, nor do anything!

Not only does the doll speak, it can even drive a car!

Please let my brother go, Commissioner.

You've seen it for yourself, how innocent he is!

What a terrible effect this behaviour of the police has had on his mind!

He was with me at the theater, I assure you.

If he was indeed with you, whom did the usher spot walking out?

Who was the one who returned a little before the show got over?

And who was the one who was also carrying a doll?!

Why didn't the usher point a finger at someone else?

Why did he identify Raju in particular?

- Do you have an answer to that? - It could be a plot you've hatched!

Neither is this a conspiracy...

...nor does anyone hold anything against your brother.

We've brought Raju here only to get to the root of this mystery.

I myself can't believe that a small kid could kill someone...

Every shred of evidence points to the fact...

...whenever there has been a murder...

...Raju was present at the site.

Now look, dear... We cops are human, too.

We can distinguish between elders and kids.

We will not exert any pressure on Raju.

He has only been brought here...

...to be kept under observation and help us unravel the truth.

And, I assure you, Raju will stay here...

...just as he stays at home with you.

In that case, I'll stay here, too.

Your presence will only prove to be a hurdle in our path.

Besides, it's only the Have faith in me...

...I will personally drop Raju home tomorrow!

Stay over, Raju... nobody will harm you.

And you can return tomorrow... Is it okay?

I have a very brave brother, don't I?

Take care of the kid...

Raju considers you to be his friend...

...then why are you treating him like an enemy?

He insists that you speak to him.

If it's true that you talk to him, then why don't you talk to me, too?

Am I not a friend, too?

Tell me about yourself, too... Say something...

Say something... Go on!

I'm Channi; will you make friends with me?

That's enough! I'll eat on my own henceforth.

I've grown up!

"Shall I get you a doll?"

"Shall I buy you a doll?"

"My darling brother, how am I going to placate you?"

"Don't be stubborn, talk to me..."

"don't be angry, stop sulking"

"For you, I could bring the stars from the skies"

"For you, I could sacrifice every joy of mine"

"You are the one I live for..."

"you are my flesh and blood"

"If you wish, I could even die for you"

"You want to rock in the swing, or watch a circus?"

"My darling brother, how am I going to placate you?"

"Don't be stubborn, talk to me..."

"don't be angry, stop sulking"

"Your tears are precious. I'll never let you shed them"

"I'll never make you cry"

"To you, I could give up my life"

"You're very sweet, very naive"

"I'll never make you sad"

"Do you want me to dance for you? Or make you dance instead?

How could the doll speak without its batteries?

Speak up! Why don't you speak! You will have to talk to me!

Why are you inviting death upon yourself, silly girl?

Leave me alone!

Let me go!

Raju is innocent, Vijay! What he said about the talking-doll was true!

So what do you expect me to do? Invite you for dinner, eh?

- You're being crazy, Karisma! - Do you think I'm lying?!

Do you think I've concocted a story to save my brother?!

That's no ordinary doll, Vijay... It could speak without a battery!

Believe me, Vijay... Please!

When I found that the doll could speak even without a battery...

...I picked up a knife to strike it and find out the truth.

- And then... - What happened then?

The doll attacked me!

Nobody would believe the yarn you're spinning!

It's not yarn, Vijay...

You want proof, don't you?

- And what's that? - It's where the doll bit me.

Let's skip the dramatics!

Could you even hurt yourself to save your brother?!

I'm telling you the truth... it's indeed the teeth-marks of the doll!

It wanted to kill me, too.

That's enough! I'd thought there was something wrong with your brother.

But it now appears that you have gone mad, too!

- I've gone mad, have I?! - That's right! You're mad!

Go home and take rest, Karisma... You're not in a proper frame of mind.

Let me drop you home...

Don't try to follow me, okay?

What's wrong with her?

Who does he think he is?!

He believes that I'm lying to save my brother!

I'll deal with him someday... I surely will...

Where could I find the man who sells toys there during daytime?

You mean Madhav? He lives in the slums nearby, Madam.

I wonder which toy she needs so late in the night!

Who's that?

Is Madhav, the toy-seller, in?

We're all toy-sellers; but we have no toy to sell you right now.

But it's good of you to have come by...

Let me go!

It's a game you play on the board... Make her lie down...

Let me go!

Leave me alone! Let me go! Please!

We'll let you go, baby-doll... Let's play our little game first...

Here comes another!

Why the hell did you come here so late in the night?!

I'd come looking for Madhav, the toy-seller.

- Who's this chap now? - That's me, Madam...

Do you remember... l'd bought a doll from you for my brother.

A talking-doll... don't you remember?

I get it now! I had just bought it then.

Where had you bought it from?

I'd picked it up at an auction-sale.

I bought it from the store where a fire had broken out...

Which store was that? What was the name?

- Was it Green Card? - Exactly!

It was the Green Card stores.

Why were you shocked to hear of the name Green Card?

Because it was at Green Card that the practitioner of...

...black-magic, who abducted kids, was killed.

- Black-magic? Inspector... - That's right.

That practitioner of black-magic who kidnaped kids...

...was killed by Inspector Yadav at Green Card, right?

- That's right. - The store was razed to ashes...

And that is where Madhav, the toy-seller, picked up the doll from.

And I, in turn, bought the doll from Madhav...

Just listen carefully to me, Vijay.

My friend is killed the very night the doll arrives in my house.

And you suspect my brother...

Can't you remember those little foot-prints?

When Inspector Yadav was killed, Channi was present there, too.

By killing Inspector Yadav...

...the doll has avenged the killing of the magician!

There has to be a connection between the killings and that cursed doll!

- But nobody will believe you... - You must hear me out, Vijay!

You will have to believe me!

And why don't you believe me? What are you angry about?!

I only did what your Dad wanted me to do.

I had merely returned his son to him.

You must have returned his son to him, Karisma...

...but I never even looked back at that house, once you had left.

Ever since you left that house and that town...

...I left everything there, too.

A job in the Police Force was only an excuse to look for you...

- What?! - It's true, Karisma...

Ever since we've met again...

...you haven't allowed me to speak for myself.

I have always loved you, Karisma...

...and I'll love you till I breathe my last.

"I love you so dearly..."

"you..."

"have no idea"

"You are the one I wait for, every moment"

"You..."

"have no idea"

"I love you so dearly"

"Sweetheart..."

"O my love..."

"you are the one I'm crazy about"

"Your love means the life to me"

"You are the one I worship"

"You are the one I live for, my love"

"However, you have no idea"

"You are the one I wait for, every moment"

"I think..."

"only about you"

"I awake..."

"all nights for you"

"I'm so crazy..."

"love's driving me restless"

"I'm not myself anymore"

"However, you don't realise that"

"I love you so dearly"

"You have no idea"

"You are the one I wait for, every moment"

"However, you don't realise that"

Aren't you coming in?

You go on ahead... I'll go and fetch Raju.

- Really? - Yes.

But you'll have some coffee ready by the time I return, okay?

- Is that a deal then? - Sure, it is.

Charandas... alias Channi...

...who received his initiation at the hands of his Guru, Raghavan.

Aged 45 years... 6 feet in height...

...of wheatish complexion...

...who was an accomplished murderer, and a thief...

...notorious for kidnapping children and practicing witchcraft.

He was killed in an encounter with the police...

...at Green Card in an exchange of fire with Inspector Yadav.

Can I accompany you, Sir?

Keep an eye on Raju, okay?

There are others to do that. Who'll look after you...

I wonder why I get the jitters ever since the kid has come here.

Who'll take care of me?

You're fine, aren't you?

I'm fine... but what's wrong with you? And where's Raju?

Raju's absolutely fine; he's at the police-station.

But why haven't you brought him along?

I'd gone to fetch him... but the doll attacked me, too!

- What?! - It's true, Karisma...

What I thought was a prank you're playing, is not a prank, after all.

It's a reality.

That doll isn't a mere doll...

- It's something else! - But what is it?!

That is what I went to the Police station to find out.

I saw the killer's case-papers there...

...and came across a very strange coincidence.

The witch-doctor and the doll share the same name... Channi!

But there is only one man who can tell us the truth.

Who's that?

A companion of the witch-doctor; his spiritual guide...

Before the cursed doll can wreak any more destruction...

...we'll have to find those guys soon!

- But where do we look?! - I know that. Just come along...

"Even in a state of high, we chant your name"

"Why do people call us names?"

"Even in a state of intoxication, we chant your name"

"Your name, only your name"

"And yet, why do people give us a bad name?"

"Why, oh why?"

"We're slaves only to you"

"It's just your name, Lord"

"Rock... enjoy the high"

"When you're scared, take a drag"

"When worries bother you, take a drag"

"What have we to do with anything else?"

"It's your name we chant, even in a state of high"

You're very late, Raghavan...

It's your friend... Charandas... alias Channi.

That's right... I'm the living example of the craft you've taught me.

- But you were... - I'm alive, even after dying...

...in this lifeless doll.

But I had a strange experience today.

That bastard of an inspector opened fire on me today!

I have experienced pain for the first time.

And there was blood oozing from the body of this lifeless doll...

Why did this happen?

I understand. That's because the doll is transforming into a human-being.

- That can't be true, Raghavan! - You're trapped!

You're caught in trap you have laid yourself!

The body of that doll has now become a problem for you!

And you will help me escape this problem.

- I?! - That's right...

You're my friend, aren't you?

No! I'm not your friend, Channi!

Our friendship was severed the day you misused...

...the knowledge I had imparted to you.

I had given you the powers for the welfare of mankind...

But you have killed my faith and the penance I've done for years!

And with one wrong move, you've lost the round, Charandas!

You're my Teacher, no doubt... But you're a fool!

You had divulged to me the secret of your infallibility.

You had even told me the secret that would lead to your death.

Let me have that doll!

Of course I will; but only after you tell me how to get out of this body.

- I can't do that! - Very well then...

No, Channi! Don't do it! Don't! Please!

It's very simple for me...

...to shatter this doll to pieces, Raghavan!

Let me go! For God's sake!

Quickly tell me the secret. Or else...

Okay! I'll tell you...

You can only possess the body of someone...

...to whom you have first disclosed your identity.

That's wonderful! I'll be a child, all over again!

- A ten-year old kid... - A kid?

Yes! I'll be a kid again, once I possess Raju!

I'll be a kid again!

A kid! I'm a kid again!

- Wait here; I'll be back soon. - Okay.

Save him... from Channi!

What's happened to you?!

- Who are you? - I'm Inspector Vijay...

- Save him... - Who's that?

It's that 10-year old kid... Raju...

Save him from the devil!

Save the kid from Channi!

But how will I save him? It's impossible to kill Channi!

Not at all! That devil can be destroyed!

But how is that?!

He has a human heart that is keeping him alive...

Destroy the evil-spirit, Vijay... before Sunset tomorrow...

That doll has a human-heart beating in its body...

Go on, Raghavan! Tell me more!

- Channi?! It's you? - Yes, it's me...

I'm glad you're here; I was feeling scared, all alone.

You'll never be scared again... Just lie down, Raju...

What are you doing, Channi? I don't like it!

Let me go!

- I want to possess your body, Raju. - Why?

If I don't get into your body, I could even die...

Let me go! Help!

Save me! Please! The doll...

You're not a ghost, are you?

How did you come out? I have the keys with me... Where are the keys?!

- The doll has the keys! - The doll has it, eh?

- And where's the doll? - In the cell...

- Let me take a look... - Don't! It'll kill you!

Oh come on! A doll will kill me?!

D'you think I'm a fool to believe that? Where's the doll?

They don't even let you sleep in peace!

A murder! He's been killed! Is someone there!

The kid has killed the constable!

Murder! Raju has killed him!

- What's wrong? - There's been a murder in there!

What's up? Tell me!

The Constable has been killed! Raju killed him most brutally!

- And where's Raju? - He's run away, Sir...

...but Constable Khote's body is lying in there.

Help! Help!

Can't you see where you're going?!

They've got to be here, Karisma!

Come along, Karisma!

Awaken, O Evil Soul

With your name on my lips...

You're my master; I'm your slave.

I bequeath my soul to you...

I offer you blood, O Evil One...

With the power of Satan at Your command...

...spread a cover of darkness and billowing clouds...

Take Raju and escape! Quick!

Let's escape!

Sister!

Are you all right, Vijay?!

Yes, Karisma; I'm fine...

This devil was under the impression that its game would never be over...

...but nature's laws have proved to be mightier, Karisma.

Has the devil ever scored a victory over the Lord.
