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'

"Even though I know that no one"

"will cross paths with me"

"I wish in vain that someone
I love"

"is yet to come."

"I still wish for it."

"Though the spring passed"

"this branch never blossomed
in the past."

"Just for that,
the seasons change sometimes"

"and brings spring."

"and brings spring."

"Even though I know
that this empty road"

"will not be taken"

"I go to the doors
and eagerly look"

"into the distance."

"I eagerly look into the distance."

"I wish in vain that someone
I love"

"is yet to come."

"Even though I know
that the ones who left"

"never said they would come back"

"I regularly keep my doors"

"half-open, out of hope."

"I still wish in vain that someone
I love"

"is yet to come."

"I heard footsteps at my doorstep"

"in the most unexpected of times."

"An everlasting spring
paid a visit"

"for a matter of seconds."

"For a matter of seconds."

"When I eagerly run to my door"

"expecting someone"

"the ones at my doorstep"

"are strangers who lost their way."

"Strangers who lost their way"

"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"

"this branch many times before"

"the cuckoo sang"

"that the one I love is arriving."

"The cuckoo sang.."

"I heard footsteps at my doorstep"

"in the most unexpected of times."

"An everlasting spring
paid a visit"

"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."
