'People who lived before
the Indian subcontinent emerged'

'and those who later emerged
as citizens with equal rights'

'have been divided into
four categories based on knowledge.'

'The first category included'

'joyous rulers,'

'followed by Zamindars,
belonging to the royal lineage,'

'and peasants.'

'There were several other
sub-categories as well.'

'The second category included royal gurus,'

'ministers,'

'commanders,'

'diplomats,'

'warriors,'

'and trainers.'

'The third category included'

'farmers, traders,'

'temple sculptors,'

'weavers,'

'artists,'

'and some other members of the community.'

'The fourth category included'

'those who were enslaved'

'or forced to work as bonded laborers.'

'Among them, the most backward community,'

'pushed aside,'

'and subjected to various hardships,'

'is the community of hunters called "Naayaati".'

'During the olden times,'

'several restrictions were imposed'

'on the hunter community,
by the dominant communities.'

'Accordingly, the hunters should
move around at night.'

'They should not be seen during the day.'

'The common people will stone them to death
if they come out.'

'They should not claim equal rights
and earn by working.'

'They should depend on others
for their survival.'

'They must go from house to house,
beg, and eat at night'

'with their heads lowered.'

'This hunter community struggled to live'

'adhering to this strict restriction.'

'On one side, they were
attacked by wild animals,'

'and on the other side,
the dominant communities assaulted them.'

'And this is how they lived every day.'

'In this cruel life,
when there was no hope,'

'to shun their fears,'

'they sought the protection
of the guardian deity'

'and followed the practices of
witchcraft, sorcery, and sacrifice,'

'including sacrificing humans,
goats, cows, and chickens'

'to obtain the power
of the fierce divine force.'

'The people of royal lineage,
dominant communities,'

'and even wild animals
who had caused them to suffer'

'were terrified to come near them.'

'As a result, a dangerous hunter community
known as "Naayaati" emerged.'

'The hunting community that practices
and conducts valai pujas'

'to ward off danger'

'held rituals in protest against
the government's attempt to control them.'

'To deter the practice of harmful
witchcraft rituals, new laws were introduced,'

'imposing severe penalties,
including death sentences.'

'The English, the Portuguese, and the Belgians,'

'along with the Indian groups
united in opposing such practices.'

'Afterward, the hunting community
lived in fear of government suppression.'

'In the deep wilderness
where human habitation was scarce,'

'the government learned that'

'a family consisting of a father, mother,
and their young daughter'

'continued to practice rituals
that were deemed as witchcraft.'

'Following the government's orders,
army officers began a search for the family.'

'On the other side,'

'the parents prayed to the forest deity'

'seeking a thousand years of life
for their daughter,'

'and killed themselves as a sacrifice.'

'As a mark of respect for their sacrifice,'

'the forest deity appoints
a guardian angel for that girl.'

'Knowing this,'

'the army officers leave that girl'

'fearing that the guardian deity will
destroy them if anything happens to her.'

'After that, the girl is brought up
under the care of the guardian deity.'

'With time, she blossoms
and grows into a beautiful angel.'

'One day...'

'the king of the country,
who came to hunt in the wilderness,'

'saw her,'

'and fell for her beauty.'

'Both fall in love.'

'The king expresses his desire to marry her.'

'She also agrees with the intention
that her hunting community,'

'which is still in a state of permanent slavery
and remains in an irreversible situation,'

'will have a relationship
with the royal family.'

'At the same time, after hearing that
she cannot cross the forest'

'under the control of the guardian angel,'

'the king builds a huge castle in the forest,'

'and starts living in secret
with his wife as the queen.'

'The people in his country
learn this in no time.'

'Everyone fears that the king's
conflicted relationship with a witch'

'will cause great danger to the country.'

'Everyone slanders the queen
as a witch and sorceress.'

'Their country enters the
drought as a sign of truth.'

'Not believing all this,'

'the king promises to end the superstitions,'

'gives the people a suitable explanation
and adequate compensation for their sufferings.'

'People also shed their anger
and return to normalcy.'

'Within a few days of the queen's pregnancy,'

'ten virgin girls,'

'ten men and ten children go missing.'

'People are taken aback,
and they go around searching for weeks.'

'At the end of the ninth day'

'of searching without a single clue,'

'everyone gets suspicious
of their queen, a witch.'

'A few people sneak into
the palace ground to spy,'

'without the permission
of the king and the queen.'

'They see the queen and the king'

'offering a man, a woman, and a child
as a sacrifice to the fierce deity,'

'in a room inside the palace.'

'They get enraged looking at
the arrangements being made,'

'to sacrifice the remaining
three people on the tenth day'

'after the ninth- day human sacrifice ritual.'

'After that, they figured out
what was happening,'

'rescued those three people,'

'imprisoned the king and the queen,'

'set fire to the palace,'

'burnt them to ashes and returned home.'

"Did you ask me why?"

"Why I never die!"

"Did you ever find?"

"Where did I hide?"

"Find me near you..."

"Naayaati..."

"Naayaati..."

"Naayaati..."

"Just find me near you!"

"Come into the forest,
In search of me, Naayaati!"

"I struggled every day
To become a Naayaati!"

"Ask around,
Who earned the boon of immortality?"

"Time will tell the truth,
And experience will make one wise!"

"Naayaati, Naayaati
As chills run down your spine hearing my name!"

"Naayaati, Naayaati
As you tremble hearing my name!"

"Naayaati, Naayaati
As chills run down your spine hearing my name!"

"Naayaati, Naayaati
As you tremble hearing my name!"

"Find me near you..."

Hey, Mithra!

Hey...

What startled you now?

It was just a bad dream.

I'm bedeviled. And it felt like someone
performed an exorcism on me.

Why not? You
research ghosts all day.

You can't expect anyone
else to come in your dreams.

Tell me, what happened after that?

Then... I killed everyone.

I was about to kill you.
But you woke me up.

Mith...

Hey! Oh God!
What have you done?

Oops!

How could you break a camera worth two lakhs?

It already doesn't work,
and now it never will.

- How would you know the value of it?
- Trust me, I didn't do anything.

Then I'm sure you did this.

Here. Why are you shouting now?

Tell me if this doesn't work,
and I'll buy you a new one.

This is already secondhand.
As if you would buy a new one.

Where is Aadharsh?

That's the reason why I came here.
An old man, Ravichandran, has come to meet him.

He's been talking non- stop.

He asked you to come. Let's go.

- What's it now?
- They're shutting down the channel.

Hey, get going.

- We'll come.
- You two are jobless.

- Come immediately.
- Go now.

Oh God, I can't put up with this.

Tell me, sir.

I had plans to buy a 200-year-old bungalow,
convert it into a resort, and do business.

But I learned only after buying it,

that some paranormal power exists
in the estate next to it.

So, I'm neither able to convert it into a resort

nor sell that place.

When I was clueless about what to do,

I found you on YouTube.

I want you to help me.

Okay... But how do you think we can help you?

Have you heard about 'Naayaati'?

- 'Naayaati? 'What's that?
- Yes.

Back in those days,
society was split into four categories.

Okay, sir. But how are we related to 'Naayaati'?

In what way can we help you?

Very simple. The townspeople still believe
the king's and the queen's soul

still wanders in that estate
because that's where they lived.

Sir, according to your story,

this might have happened a
few hundred years ago.

But no one in this modern era
will believe this tale.

It's still an unsolved mystery
how the Taj Mahal,

the Big Temple in Tanjore,
and the Pyramids of Egypt were built.

Try building structures like this

using your modern technology.

You can't.

That's what I meant.

Bro...

Come over for a minute.

- Sir, excuse me.
- Please...

I can easily find out
how wealthy a person is with his posture.

He looks like a rich man.

We are out of content,

and we are breaking our heads to find one.

Talk to him and finalize this deal.

That's my thought too.
I'll talk to him.

Sir, here's the thing.

I understand your concern.

I didn't believe this at first, either.

But I found a 200-year-old book
in that bungalow.

That book reads the story I narrated.

After reading that book
and hearing what the townspeople had to say

I firmly believe that story.

Some people write stories like this for fun.

Someone of that kind would have written.

What's so special about that book

that you believe it firmly?

Even 'Harry Potter 'has witchcraft references.

To everyone else, it's just a story.

But you believe this blindly.

I get your point.

The specialty of that
book is...

...that no one knows who wrote it
and when it was written.

Let's assume someone wrote this for fun.

How could that book remain preserved
for two hundred years?

Looking from that angle,

there is some paranormal spirit there.

Hey, bro.

- What?
- Come here for a minute.

Please...

- Excuse me for a minute, sir.
- Sure.

What is it?

I can easily find out if someone is
telling the truth, lying, or being confused.

I feel he's confusing us.

What will happen if he kills us
by sending us into a trap?

If what he's saying is the truth

we'll leave that place at that very moment.

Where to? The graveyard?

We get content and money at the same time.

Hey, Mithra is right.

Let's go and check it out.
If we feel something wrong, then we'll leave.

- What do you say? Shall we?
- Okay.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Okay.

Alright, sir.

We'll help you.

- If you can give us a token of advance...
- Okay.

No problem. I'll transfer two lakhs.

Okay, sir.

Come tomorrow

and start the work.

- We'll leave tomorrow, sir.
- Thank you.

- Bye.
- Bye, sir.

Okay, okay.

- What do you say?
- I really don't understand.

Hey, knack him on his head.

- Hey, come on.
- What?

Listen, this is a fantastic opportunity.

We're leaving tomorrow.

- Okay?
- What's the plan?

Keep your mouth shut for some time.

What do you say, guys?
Shall we?

I'm saying the same thing.

Guys, it's a good opportunity.

Let's split the money first.

- Bro, can you please...
- Hey!

Why do you talk to him alone often
and treat him like your girlfriend?

Whatever it is, tell it in front of us.

I have a good script.

- There he goes again.
- Hey, hey.

- Hey, wait.
- Let's hear from him.

- Wait.
- Let me go.

I'll tell you later.

'Oh God! How am I going
to get this done with these guys?'

- Hey, stop.
- Why?

Give me a minute.

Wow... Mushrooms!

'These guys will keep a close watch.'

'I should hide this.'

'It's going to be super fun.'

- Let's go, driver.
- Don't you dare mock me.

Anyone who drives is a driver.
Get going now.

Damn, I can't control it any longer.

What happened?
Why did you stop the car?

No... I haven't seen them for a while.

They had stopped near the bypass.
I'm worried about what happened.

Wait, let me check.

You stay. I'll check.

- Wait.
- No, you wait.

Don't go alone. I'll come along.

'She never listens to me.'

Who is it?

I'm asking you!

Hey, Fabby!

Fabby!

I'm unable to open the door, dude!

Hey, Nivas!

Oh gosh!
Is this your doing?

I scared you!

Who said so?

I didn't.

I know you did, don't lie.

I didn't fall for it.

Ah, here they are.

Go. If not, they'll leave you behind.

Bye-bye!

This girl!

Okay, let's get going.

What happened?

Oh, that was nothing.
They halted for a bathroom break.

Let's go.

What a long bathroom break!

Let's go!

'Why does this house look familiar to me?'

'Looks like the house from my bad dream.'

Hey, you were right!

It is an old building.

Yeah, bro.

I feel the same, too.

'Is this a house or a palace?'

'So freaking huge!'

- Isn't this place amazing?
- Yes, dear.

- Hello, sir.
- Welcome. We were awaiting your arrival.

- Please come in.
- Hello, sir.

- Come in, guys.
- Yes, sir.

- I'll be back in a while.
- Hi!

- I'll bring the bags.
- Hi! Welcome.

- Hi, sir.
- Welcome!

Come in.

'It's so heavy!'

Come on.

Come in!

This room is for the girls.
And that one is for the boys.

- Yeah, okay, sir.
- Yeah, sure.

What was he talking about?

Don't blather after hearing
half of what he said.

He said the word "room" in Tamil.

Also...

Why is it so dark during the day?

- Only then it'll be comfortable for you!
- What?

I mean, it's comfortable for us to booze.

As if you bought any.

'I wonder if she was a Naayaati.'

'What could this room be?'

Hey, hang on there.

I forgot to mention it to you.

My wife's been sick for the past two days.

It must be a viral fever.

I was scared that it might spread to you all.

I'll introduce you to her
once we return from the estate.

- Till then, let's not disturb her.
- Yeah, sure, sir. No issues.

Aadharsh...

What are you thinking about?

Are you okay?

Actually, I'm not okay.

Before starting this project,

I did a little research about this place
and the 'Naayaati' community.

I found some confusing details in the process.

This community had lived in
the same area centuries ago.

A few people still reside
in some areas of Kerala to date.

When I dug in further,
I learned four surprising facts.

What were those surprising facts?

First thing.

They fear people and animals inside the forests.

So, to protect themselves,

they started learning the art of transmigration.

They started worshiping demigods such as,

'Karinkutty', 'Kutty Chathaan',
'Parakutty', and 'Muthappan'.

They gained certain powers while doing so.

One of the powers was called 'Odiyan'.

'Odiyan'? What is that?

Yeah! When I researched what it was,

I learned the word 'odiyan' means
a shapeshifter in English.

In fear of being killed
by the public if seen,

they were able to shapeshift to ward them off.

In the same way,
when they went hunting in the forest,

to ward off animals that might kill them,

they shape shifted into terrible beings
that drove them away.

They possessed many unique powers,
like being able to run like the wind

and jump from one place to another.

Now, why do you think about it?

This information may sound trivial.

But I noticed a few things on the way here.

Did you notice?

The locals knew nothing about this place,
nor did the map show this place.

But we managed to reach here safe and sound.

Forget this.

None of our phone networks work here.

Including our gadgets and the internet.

What if we don't get a network

when we go into the forest tomorrow?

I don't know how we'd find our way back.

Alright, we'll leave right away
if this frightens you.

No, that won't be necessary.

Let's do this.

We'll head inside.

But even if we face any small issues,

we'll head back out safe and sound.

After that, we'll plan what to do.

What do you say?

Okay, we'll go.

Okay...

What happened?

Nothing.

Okay, let's go.

- What happened...
- Come along.

It was nothing. You come.

Let's go.

Aadharsh? Mithra?

Are you both coming?

Have you guys got started?

Come over here.

What are we waiting for?

This is a special herbal wine
made at this estate.

It's packed with many health benefits!

And this will be the best you've ever tasted!

Enjoy yourselves!

Thank you, sir.

Dude! We got wine!

Open it fast!

- Shall we start?
- Yes, of course!

Pour some.

'Why can't I rip it apart?'

This is for you.

Wow!

This leg piece is for me.

No, for me.

It is good.

Give me some.

Here you go.

Here.

This is your share.

Thanks, girl.

Shall we?

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

- Hey!
- What is it?

- Do you see something different?
- This is good, right?

Where?

Hey...

Oh, yeah!

My gosh!

What was that?

Why are you all on the floor?

Why do you all look stunned?

Hey! Why's the wine bottle empty?

- We drank it all up!
- What the heck?

Why, man?

Because...

Do you know what wine it was?

It was my mix of a special herbal wine!

What are you saying?

- And you guys hastily...
- What is he talking about?

I had mixed magic mushrooms in it!

Magic mushrooms?

When consumed,
you can't see what is in front of you,

and you'll see things that aren't real!

You'll feel like you're floating in the air.

But you won't be.

You'll think you're walking on water,
but it's the floor!

We're screwed.

They finished the last drop of it!

You dumbhead.

You and your magic mushrooms!

We have to leave at 6 AM.
Let's go to bed early.

Go! Get going!

Clear up the place!

Let's go!

What heartless friends I have.

What are you thinking about?

I understand you start hallucinating
when you consume magic mushrooms.

But how did we all see the same figure?

How's that?

- What color did you see?
- Black!

But I saw red!

Red?

Red... Black...

What are you thinking about?

Let's go to sleep.

'What's that sound?'

What was that sound?

Was it him? Such an idiot.

Here, take this!
And this!

Stop splashing water!
You may ruin the camera.

- Idiot. You and your sorry.
- Sorry!

What's the matter?

- What is it?
- Let's take a selfie.

Everyone, join in!

The enthusiasm for a selfie.

Someone hold my bag.

Closer, closer.
Come closer.

Let's start the game!

All this is a part of our estate.

- Show me proof, and I'll believe you.
- Can't you shut up?

- How much further, sir?
- Just a bit more.

What's happening to you?

I can't do this.

I'm exhausted already.

My limbs are aching too.

Okay, guys.
Looks like it will get dark anytime now.

Shall we camp somewhere around here?

We'll get back in the morning.

- What do you say?
- Yeah, okay.

Fine then. Find a good spot
where we can booze in peace.

We'll find wild animals
if we go deep inside the forest. Is that okay?

Are you implying that we guard each other?

- Get your hand off of me.
- There you go.

Hey.

Enough talking nonsense, and let's leave.

- Let's go, Aravind.
- He's calling us. Come on.

'Then there's Hitler instructing
our next moves.'

- Come, dude!
- Coming.

Bro, pitching a big tent
is a lot of work.

Shall we pitch a small one instead?

- Either way, you're not going to work.
- Of course! I'm a cinematographer.

If you asked me to change an SD card,
lens, or battery, that's easy work.

How can I pitch a tent, bro?

- Come, doofus.
- Okay, let's begin.

- Hold this end, and I'll hold the other.
- Okay.

'What is he doing?'

Hey!

- Hey!
- What?

- What are you thinking about?
- I was wondering how to pitch a tent.

Is it?

Enough of it. Come along.

Huddle up, guys! Come on.

Dude, it's too heavy.
Lift it carefully. Be careful.

Don't ruin the tent.

'So many people to pitch a tent.
My gosh.'

Hey, bro!

- What?
- Hear me out.

What is it?

I want to pee urgently!

- I can't hold it any longer.
- I want to go, too.

- Let's go over there.
- Yeah, let's go.

- Where are you going?
- Wait, man!

- We'll be back.
- He won't get it.

- Dude, this way!
- Yes, let's go.

Let's finish our business here.

'Time for me to settle in.'

Dude...

- Where to?
- Not here. Let's go over there.

Don't run.
You might wet yourself.

- Let's do it here.
- Fine.

Turn that way.

- Dude, look here!
- What?

- Nope, I'm not looking at that.
- Idiot, look there!

- Looks amazing, right?
- Yeah!

It's beautiful.

- Shall we set up a campfire here, then?
- Yes, please!

Let's inform the others as well.

Come soon, we'll tell them.

Guys! Mithra and Swathi!

- Come here, everyone!
- Come here, man.

- What?
- What is it?

We saw this place.

And it was gorgeous!

If we set a campfire and eat our dinner there,

we will have the fun of our lives tonight!

- Super!
- That's amazing!

Where's she going?

'Why is he taking off his shirt?'

Put that log too. Only
then will the fire burn longer.

'Doesn't make sense.'

Where are you going?

Wait. I'll be back.

Hold on.

Mithra, can we talk?

Sure!

I want to tell you something.

When I had no one to call my own,

you came into my life and proved you were there.

In that small world of mine,

you're the only one who gets on my nerves

and also the one who makes me happy!

Whatever may come,
I'll keep you happy.

I like you too much!

You're the queen who rules
my small world.

And I wish to serve my queen
till death do us part.

I'm serious, Mithra.

Until the end, I will keep you happy
in every possible way.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

I want to grow old with you.

My princess...

Will you marry me?

What's happening?
Both of you went separately.

And now you're coming together.

- I am confused.
- We're in love.

See this!

- Oh, my God!
- What are you saying?

What?

- I just proposed to her.
- Bro...

- Congratulations!
- What a surprise!

- Fabby!
- Congratulations!

- Are you even seeing this?
- Yep, I am.

Awesome, man!
I knew it when you took off your shirt.

- Congrats, Mithu!
- Thank you!

So, where's the treat?

- I want 'biriyani'.
- Let's leave from here first.

We'll see then.

Alright. Tell us your love story.

That's a long story, sir.
Why now?

Let's enjoy the time we have.

- When is the wedding?
- As soon as you pay us the balance, sir.

Very good, very good.
Super!

Have fun, and all the best for your life!

Okay, guys. We'll be back in just five minutes.

- Where to?
- Will five minutes be enough?

What the...?
Are you going to start it all over again?

Round 2!

- Get going!
- Oh, let them be.

- These lovebirds...
- Enjoy!

They've gone that way.

- And you two, go this way.
- Get going!

Dude, let's get started!

- Mithra?
- Hmm.

We've been dating for two years.

- Did you expect the proposal?
- I knew you would.

But I never expected you to propose
in such a beautiful place!

More than you?

Yeah.

That was just a branch falling.

Oh, okay.

What is that?

Come, let's run from here.

Let's go!

Guys! Guys!

- Guys!
- Hey, what happened?

- Guys...
- What happened?

I saw a figure.

There's something mysterious here.

There is something in this forest.

- Let's...
- Hey...

I kept telling let's not come here.

Do you understand now?

Sir, we can't shoot your video.

You promised that you would,
and now you're refusing?

I did warn you about this.

Please shoot it for me and then leave!

Hold up, sir.
I'll shoot your video tomorrow.

We'll leave for the day.
And tomorrow morning,

- we'll bring some villagers along--
- No, no!

- Listen...
- I told you we'd shoot it!

Guys! I hid something from you all.

When Mithra and I were talking last night,

I saw a figure.

- I saw that exact figure in our room that night
- What?

I thought you guys wouldn't believe me
and kept quiet.

- Okay, okay. Let's leave from here first.
- Hey, listen!

- Okay? Let's leave! And you too, sir!
- Listen to me!

Oh, come on now, you oldie!

Wait up! Where are we...

Guys!

Let's leave this place at once.

- We'll deal with it in the morning.
- Bro!

- What about our bags and things?
- We'll take care of it tomorrow.

- Let's take only the torches for now. Let's go.
- Alright.

Give it to me, sir.

- Hey, let's go!
- Let's go, man!

- Let's go, girl!
- Wait for me, dude!

Oh, my God!

Why are we back in the same place?

Hey guys, calm down.

I guess we missed our route in fear.

Let's go with a clear mind.

- Come carefully!
- Come along!

Come along. Come.

- What is this?
- What the...?

Do you see that?

Didn't I warn you, Aadharsh?

Look what happened
after listening to that oldie!

Hey, you!

Did I force you to come?
No, right?

Stop fighting now,
and let's leave from here!

Don't fight.
Let's stay calm and walk that way.

First, we must find a way to get out safely.

Yes. Yeah, you're right.

Come, let's leave from here.

Come, guys.
Come along!

Come on, guys.

Throw that thing away!

- Come, guys.
- Come along!

Come!

Mithu!

- Are you okay?
- Mithra!

Mithra!

- Are you hurt?
- I'm scared!

Something's happening!

- It's okay...
- We keep coming back to the same place!

- Oh God!
- Hey, what the heck is happening?

- I have no idea.
- This is all your fault!

You better get us out of here safely.

- What did I do now?
- I don't understand what's happening!

Where's Nivas?

Aadharsh?

Fabby?

Listen, all of us searching together
won't work out well.

I'll search for him.
And you all, stay here safely.

- I'll be back.
- I'll come along!

Okay.

We're going this way. You all go that way,
and we'll meet back here. Okay?

Nivas!

Nivas!

'Where did he go?'

Nivas!

Careful.

Nivas!

Nivas!

Nivas!

There's... There's something strange going on.
We're in danger.

Let's search together
and not split up. Let's go!

Come along.

Nivas!

Nivas!

There he is!

This is all because of him!

- Like a big shot...
- Shut up, dude.

- You couldn't even save one of your own.
- Sir, you're going overboard.

Hey, mind your tongue.

You moron.
Did you bring us here to die?

Do whatever you want.
I don't need your help anymore!

- I'm out of here.
- Sir! Sir!

- Oh, let him go.
- Wait, sir.

Let him go if he wants.

No use arguing about it.

Let's figure out a way to escape from here.

Guys! Our friend, Nivas, is dead.

God knows what will happen to us next.

Can you stop fighting
and figure out how to escape from here?

Yes, we must get out of here.

Hey, let's go.

Come! Let's get out of here.

Hey...

Hey!

Wait, guys.

We're going around in circles.

We'd head back to the tents
if we go any further.

What do we do now?

Correct. Correct.

Tell us, Aadharsh!

Give me some time to think!

Please. I'm getting frightened.

Please get us out of here!

He'll keep pondering about it

until another one of us mysteriously disappears.

You...!

I don't care.
I want to leave right away!

Hey, Swathi!
SWATHI!

Swathi!

- Come on.
- Swathi!

Swathi!

Aadharsh!

Hey. That was Swathi's voice.

- Let's search for her.
- Yeah, it is her.

Hey, hey. Hold on.

One's dead with his head cut off.

And now you want us all to die
in search of her?

- I'm out of this.
- Hey...

- She's our friend.
- Swathi...

Alright. You stay put here.

I'll find her and bring her here.

If I don't return within ten minutes,
all of you leave from here.

- What the heck?
- Get going, you.

Carry on, and I'll check on her.

- I'll be back.
- Aadharsh!

- I'll be back. Stay put.
- Where are you going?

You think you'll find her immediately?
Wait here.

Where are you all?

Aadharsh!

Swathi!

Mithra!

Swathi!

Aadharsh!

Swathi!

Aadharsh...

'Where could she have gone?'

Swathi!

Swathi!

Swathi...

It's me.

It's alright.
You're safe now.

We're leaving from here.
Okay?

Come.

You're safe.

- Aadharsh?
- Where are both of you?

- Swathi!
- Swathi!

- Aadharsh?
- Aadhu!

Swathi!

- Swathi!
- Aadharsh!

I see something over there.

- I'm not going to see it.
- Hold on, hold on.

Don't be afraid.
I'll check it out.

- Oh, my!
- Go, girl!

Hey! A stone?

Go for it!

Hit it!

Dude, it's this guy!

He isn't dead yet?

Hey, wait! Wait!

Let me join you!

Count me in!

I'm shaking like a leaf!

Okay, be helpful then.

Keep an eye on her.

We're going to find them both.

- I'm warning you...
- Swathi!

Don't you move an inch from here.

- Is that clear?
- Yes, yes!

Let's go.

Come back soon.

Hey, careful.

Aadharsh!

The sound's coming from there.
Let's go.

Swathi!

Swathi!

Where the hell are you, Swathi?

Let's split up and search for them.

What? Split and search?

Listen, Fabby...

I'll buy you a wine shop once we escape.

But please don't leave my side.

You think you're a millionaire all of a sudden?

If you scream, "Swathi! Swathi!" in my ears,

you think she'll pop out from them?

Go that way and search!

- And I'll go this way.
- How will I go alone?

- Don't leave me!
- Let go of me, man!

- Wait for me.
- Swathi!

- Swathi!
- Wait, Fabby!

Wait up, man!

- Swathi!
- Fabby!

Aadharsh!

Swathi!

HEY!

Aadharsh!

Mithra!

Swathi?

Aadharsh!

Mithra!

Can't you watch where you're running?

Why couldn't you do that?

Something was chasing me!

Chasing you?

Something chased me too!

Hey, hey!

Fabby!

Hey, Aadharsh!

Aravinth?

Aravinth...

I told you earlier...

...that we'll stay in town.

And we could have been wedding photographers
and earned a living.

We were getting a good reach
on our YouTube channel.

We were so fixated on money.

You said, "Let's go to a forest, shoot wildlife
and become legends in DOP."

But here you are, lying dead high above a tree.

What will I do without you?

Tell me.

Go, man

There you are.

'You too?'

Wait.

Let me have my last sip.

Here you go.

You want a sip?

Alcohol is injurious to health!

Aadharsh!

- Aadhar...
- Mithra!

Mithra...

Where are Aravinth and Fabby?

I have no idea where they are!

You were right.
Something is roaming inside the forest.

It's okay, sir.

Let's escape from here first.

We keep circling back to the same place again!

What do we do...

Do you know about the Bermuda Triangle?

What is that?

If any ship or flight passes by,
it goes missing.

I feel we're stuck in a similar place.

And due to the interference
in the magnetic fields,

electronic items and other gadgets stop working.

And we're also unable to leave this place.

What do we do...

What can we do...

Do something!

Okay, there must be a way out from here.

A sundial!

Sundial...

Ah, a sundial!

This was used to check
the time and direction in the olden days.

Let's follow the sun using a stick
and walk along that way.

We may find our way out with clarity
if we follow that path.

- Let's give this a shot.
- Yes, please!

- Yes.
- Yeah, let's do it.

Let's try using these.

A phone... Phone...

Someone pass me their phone!

A phone...

Can you give me your phone, sir?

- Hurry and switch it on!
- Hang on.

Looks like it will get dark soon.

- Give it to me.
- 'What do we do?'

The shadow falls in that direction.

- Which side?
- Wouldn't it be eight hours since we came?

- Yeah, it would.
- Even if it's approximately eight hours...

Let's head north, then.

And let's follow that way
without changing course.

- What do you say?
- Let's go.

- Come on, let's make a move.
- Okay.

Open the door!

- Is anyone inside?
- Ma'am?

Open the door!

Open up, sir!

Ma'am?

Open the door, please!

Is anyone inside?

There...
There's another door that way!

Come, guys.

Someone opened the main door.

Come, come!

What's the matter, dear?

Who...

Are you alright, dear?

Who are these people?

At the estate...

Someone was chasing us at the estate!

- Oh, no!
- Escaping from it...

...was a huge deal!

Hey...

Tell us what our next move is.

Are you crazy, sir?

One of my friends is dead.

And I have no clue where the other two are.

If we file a police complaint,

they'll take the villager's
help and search for them.

Get us something to drink.

Get going.

Sure, sure.

What are you hesitating about?
Come, let's search for them.

Okay, let's go.

- Hurry up and bring it soon!
- Coming!

Mithra, don't cry.

Don't worry.

We'll find them both.

Swathi, calm down.

Sir, could you call a few
of your estate workers?

Hold on, hold on.

They'll accompany us to search for them both.

Bring it faster!

Coming, coming!

Don't cry.

Don't cry, Swathi.

Here you go. Help yourself.

- Here, drink some.
- I don't want to.

Drink a little.

I don't want.

Help yourself, dear.

No, I don't want to.

- It's okay, have some.
- Take a glass.

Go on.

- And for you?
- Keep it there.

- What is this?
- It's an herbal concoction.

It's nothing to worry about.

Don't be upset.

- Everything will turn out fine.
- Don't cry, Mithra.

Don't cry, dear.

Calm down.

Stay strong.

We'll surely find them.

Nothing would've happened to them.

Okay?

Let's go, sir.

Wha... Wha...

What's happening?

I feel dizzy.

'Where are we?'

'What is...'

Swathi... Swathi!

Hey, wake up.

Look what's going on.

Hey! What are you doing to us?

Why have you tied us?

Where is Mithra?

What, man?

Don't you understand what's happening?

'What the heck is going on?'

Allow me to explain.

Remember I told a story about the 'Naayaatis'

when I came to your office?

The queen who was a witch in that story,

is none other than

my wife.

And that king,

is me!

Are you wondering how we are the ones
from an 800-year-old story?

I told you the villagers saved
two children in the end.

They are

- us.
- You crazy morons!

We possessed them.

And destroyed our bodies through them!

We go in search of young bodies

every 60 years, and continue living.

And now, we need new bodies.

This is why you both are here.

What is he blabbering?

Are you still trying to understand
what is happening?

We sacrificed the lives
of your three friends

to fulfill a ritual to our God.

And now, the two of us will enter your bodies.

Please bear with us.

You deranged idiots!

Untie us!

Why are you doing this to us?

You!

Hey, untie us!

Where are you going?

Swathi, turn and come closer.

I'll untie you.

Untie me fast.
Hurry, hurry!

Let's go, Aadharsh!

Idiots.

Come, come.
Let's get out of here!

Hey, come this way!
This way!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Come along!

- Come, let's head down.
- Look over there!

Come along.

Mithra!

Mithra!

- Mithra!
- Aadharsh...!

Mithra!

Swathi!

Aadharsh!

- Mithra...
- Aadharsh?

Aadharsh!

Mithra...

Come along!

Come on, let's go.

Swathi.

Aadharsh...

You must be confused.

Bear with me, baby.

You conducted the ceremony well.

Let's complete the ritual now.

Wondering how you can't move an inch?

It's been a while since the ceremony began.

And soon, your souls will leave your bodies.

Mithra...

Don't do this.

Aadharsh...

Mithra...

Mithra, please!
Spare me.

Idagini, our God of protection.

I come bearing for you

a simple offering from your humble servant.

If you find any faults
during the 'Kuruthi Pooja',

forgive us, please.

For many millennia,

you rule over the world,
undertaking different avatars.

You strike like lightning!
And dance like the wind!

To appease you, I offer this sacrifice.

Please accept it.

I find no faults, my daughter.

You have pleased the heart of Idagini!

The bodies of a man and a woman
eagerly await the souls of your parents.

Go! Finish the ritual.

Let your family flourish!

Mithra!

What's going on here?

Why are you doing this?

I'm talking to you!

Mithra!

Mithra...

Aadharsh...

What are you doing?

What we're doing now
will leave you bewitched, my darling.

All of this will be beyond your imagination.

What do you mean?

They are my parents.

But they reside inside another body.

What?!

You don't get it, right?

Fine, I'll explain it to you clearly.

Remember the 'Naayaati' story we heard?

The villagers didn't rescue

just a woman and a man

from inside that castle.

They also rescued an infant.

And that infant was...

Me.

When your Mithra was an infant,
I entered into her.

The three of us have been changing bodies
and living for 800 years!

So...

What about our two years of love?

When I've been alive for 800 years,

how many will I fall in love with?

Why, Mithra?

I'm a 'Naayaati'

Love, affection,
mercy, tears, happiness...

means absolutely nothing to me.

I want to live in this world for 1000 years!

I want to live till the end of the world.

I want to live forever!

You've selected a good body for your dad.

Don't you make a good pair?

Aadharsh?

Swathi!

Finish the rituals.

Come along.

Swathi

and Aadharsh...

Thank you for offering your bodies
for my parents to live in.

Thank you!

Don't, Mithra!

Bye, Swathi!

You got a body to live in, right?

Why don't you let us live?

We do not gate keep the transmigration spell.

Anyone can learn it.

What if you do?

Got it.

Before I die,

I wish to ask you something.

Go on.

In the 800 years that you've lived,

have you ever loved someone truly?

'A new body.'

'A new birth.'

'A new life.'

'Eternal youth.'

'Everlasting soul.'

'A journey where birth and death don't exist.'

'And this is a never-ending journey.'

If you estimate human life to be 60 years,

a 'Naayaati' who died
before his time will target

a person who is 20 years old or older.

Only then can they live for another 40 years.

There is a limit to the knowledge
that humans seek.

And this was what Siddhas, obelisks, and Aghoris
have written down in a language unknown to us.

One must be enlightened
to understand the scripts.

And it isn't easy to attain enlightenment.

A life of celibacy, fasting, and penance
will lead you to it.

My...

I can assure you one thing
from my research on witchcraft,

and through the knowledge
of my ancestors, 'Naayaatis.'

An event or a death caused by a 'Naayaati'
can be reversed by the same being.

It's also possible to resurrect
a person from the dead.

To put it in simple terms...

If someone dies from a snake bite,

they use witchcraft to
summon the snake,

...extract its venom, and bring
the person back to life.

You still don't get it, do you?

You won't.

Because the universe is filled with secrets.

It takes 14 days

for a soul to leave this world

after a person dies.

Until then, their soul roams around the world.

This is why we conduct the
fourteenth-day ritual after one dies.

All of these events,
no matter the time or period,

are not easily understandable to all.

You better get that straight.

How do you know this?

How can I trust you?

And how can you help me?

That's because I've been alive for 600 years.

I entered this body only last week.

And that's because...

I'm a 'Naayaati' living in this world.

I will do you a favor.

And you will return me that favor.

What kind of favor?

I will ask when I resurrect your brother

on the fourteenth day.

Then, before the end of the fourteenth day,

summon that 'Naayaati 'to resurrect my brother.

"Did you ask me why?"

"Why I never die!"

"Did you ever find?"

"Where did I hide?"

"Find me near you..."

"Naayaati..."

"Naayaati..."

"Naayaati..."

"Just find me near you!"

"Come into the forest,
In search of me, Naayaati!"

"I struggled every day
To become a Naayaati!"

"Ask around,
Who earned the boon of immortality?"

"Time will tell the truth,
And experience will make one wise!"

"Naayaati, Naayaati
As chills run down your spine hearing my name!"

"Naayaati, Naayaati
As you tremble hearing my name!"

"Naayaati, Naayaati
As chills run down your spine, hearing my name!"

"Naayaati, Naayaati
As you tremble hearing my name!"
