Chalsa (Jalpaiguri) Five years ago...

Officer! What the hell are you thinking right now!

Chalsa (Jalpaiguri) Five years ago...

Officer! (Screams)

Save me if you can... Officer! (Screams)

Officer! Help me! (Screams)

Officer! [Indistinct collective screams]

[Man hits him on the face with an iron rod]

Kill him...kill him... [Indistinct collective screams]

Officer! Please help me...!

[A man hits him on the body with a spade]

Kill him...kill him...! [Indistinct collective screams]

[Splashes kerosene on him]

Officer! (Screams)

Officer...please! No! No! (Screams)

[Indra lights a cigarette]

I will be back...(Screams)

Nisith Sen

Chandanpur (Burdwan) Present time

[Anirban clears his throat]

Listen Brishti, can you identify these animal calls? Listen!

[Anirban mimics animals]

[Anirban and Mahamaya giggle]

This is not fair, Anirban!

Her father has not come, you can see how upset she is.

That's exactly why I was trying to cheer her up!

Please Uncle! That was a rather lame effort!

Oh so lame!

We've to keep shifting! I don't like it, Maa!

I've to change school, our house,

and Baba's never here for the shifting!

Before shifting he'll declare, "Mummum,

I have police duty, you all take care of it.

Hey Anirban, you take care of it!

[Anirban laughs out aloud. [Mahamaya joins]

Wait, I'll call your father.

Okay. See, if you can get him on the phone.

[Phone vibrates]

Sir! Phone.

Phone.

Sir, your phone!

[Indra disconnects the call]

He declined my call! Did you see that!

He does it every time! I'm used to it, but I still get mad!

This is why policemen shouldn't get married, you know!

Suppose it's a crucial situation and

his wife calls and asks him to bring 16 rotis on his way back!

Impossible!

I am lucky I've no family!

No parents, no wife!

No one to pester me.

Hey! What do you mean? I pester him?

[Anirban chuckles]

Wait and watch now! I'll get you married within the year!

Spare me, Maya Di. I don't want more emotional bonds!

With that attitude you've stuck with us for 4-5 years!

Is it? I'll keep it in mind. -Just joking!

Without Indra, how'd we have shifted here without your help?

You could do nothing without me! Mark my words!

Okay, I get it! -Brishti? Could she manage alone?

No way! -You won't support me?

I couldn't, without you.

[Indra kicks the door open]

Please understand, I can't go.

Can't you send someone else?

Isn't there anyone...to take the girl to the hospital?

Ask Buro Da! -Sir? Sir?

Hey! Hey! -There! Catch him! (Collective shouts)

[Transition sound]

[Empty swing moves with creaking sound]

[Car stops]

[Swing stops abruptly]

[Brishti opens the gate]

Wow! Mumma?

[Anirban closes car door]

How do you like it? Hmm? -It's good.

Hmm!

[Mahamaya takes a groufie]

I'll inform Indra Da that Madam approves the house.

It was my responsiblity, so...

Hmm.

Hmm!

[Anirban opens the door]

[Anirban grunts with effort]

[Suspenseful music]

[Train sound and chasing sound]

Stop it! Shyamol!

[Mahamaya takes a few snaps]

[Anirban grunts]

Maya Di? -Hmm?

Indra Da had already shifted so many things.

There's still so much luggage?

Do it bit by bit. You'll manage.

If you can't, tell me, I'll do it.

Thank you. Huh!

Mummum, please help Uncle!

Yes, Maa. -There's no need.

Leave it. You'll get hurt. -Let me have it.

I'll take it. -You take the bag. Come.

[Window opens suddenly] -Come carefully.

Shyamol!

[Chasing sound effects]

[Indra and Shyamol crash to the ground]

[Indra and Shyamol pant and struggle]

Sir! Sir! Please let me go!

Sir! Sir! My daughter...

[Train passing to transition]

[Anirban groans]

It's so heavy! -Oh my! Uff!

Uff! -I wonder what's in it!

You only have stuffed it to your heart's content.

[Light flickers] Watch out Brishti, it's dark over there!

Hey! You need not lift it!

[Anirban and Brishti talking on the stairs]

Open the door. -Which one? This one?

Oh my! What have you brought in this!

Shall I open this door? -Yes, open this one.

Shall I push it? -Yes.

[Door is opened]

[Anirban grunts]

[Anirban groans. Switches on lights]

Come Brishti.

You'll stay in that room that way. Come.

That's my room? -Yes. Come carefully.

Come. -Are my paintings here?

They're all here. Wait, I'll give them to you.

Okay. Now I can manage.

You can? -Yes.

Then I'll get the rest.

Uff!

[Brishti drags the trolley]

[Brishti grunts. Lifts trolley over threshhold]

Drat!

[Crash effect]

[Beat effect]

[Creaking of swing]

[Brishti opens the window]

[Swing moving and creaking, indistinct whisperings]

[Rapid beat effects]

[Swing moving and creaking, indistinct whisperings]

[Rapid beat effects]

[Swing moving and creaking, indistinct whisperings]

[Rapid beat effects]

I'm here to help. Bri...Brishti! -Oh!

What's wrong? Huh? -Sit.

Sit down. -What's wrong?

Hey? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want water?

No, it's nothing.

It was a long journey. She needs to rest.

Right, Brishti?

Oh dear! What is it, my girl? Feeling unwell, huh?

Where's the bathroom? -What is wrong?

That way...

Huh?

[Brishti opens a door]

[Brishti opens the bathroom door]

[Water dripping]

[Suspenseful music]

Where's the bathtub?

[Swing creaking]

Sir! Sir! Please let me go.

Enough.

My daughter will die, Sir! [Indra's phone rings]

Please listen to me, Sir! My girl will die, Sir!

She has no one to look after her! Sir!

Yes Sir?

Sir! My girl will die, Sir!

Peddlar Shyamol's been arrested, Sir!

I'm taking him to the station, Sir. Thank you Sir.

[Windchimes tinkling]

Hey! -Huh!

[Mahamaya kisses Brishti]

Baba said that this room's for our girl.

Do you like the room?

Hey! Are you upset with your father?

What can be done,

today is the joining day of his new posting.

And today he has to lead a vital operation.

I feel upset too. But what can I do, tell me?

I am not angry, Maa.

We shift to a new place so often. I don't like it, Maa.

It hurts when I've to leave my friends behind.

Okay!

So that's it! But just think,

a new place means more new friends!

And for keeping in touch with the old friends...

Huh! Wow! Thank you Mummy Jaan!

So, Baba finally agreed to buy me a phone!

My dad is so cool! Thank you so much!

You changed colour so quickly!

The moment you got a phone, your father's great?

Father's pampered kid!

Hey Brishti? You've to thank Uncle too!

Huh?

I got your father to agree!

Huh! You rock dude! Yes! -Yes!

Your mother couldn't convince him.

Then I told your father that your 14th birthday is near!

Now, get her a good mobile! -Hmm.

This is your birthday gift, okay?

You won't get anything else, even if you ask!

Okay.

Hey Maya Di, I'll leave now. -Okay.

I'll come in the evening. If you need anything, call me.

Close the door downstairs. -Take care.

[Anirban whistles]

[Anirban opens the car door]

[Suspenseful music]

[Car starts]

[Car moves away]

[Transition effect]

Please let me go, Sir!

Believe me Sir, my daughter will die, if I don't go, Sir!

Sir! I'll admit her at the hospital and return, Sir!

Sir! Sir! Sir! Please let me go, Sir!

Sir! Sir! Please don't do this, Sir!

Just today, Sir! Please let me go, Sir!

Sir! Sir!

She will die, Sir! She'll die if I don't go, Sir!

Please Sir! Sir! My girl will die, Sir!

My girl will die, Sir! Please believe me, Sir!

Are you listening Sir! Sir! Sir! Let me go!

Sir! Just today! Are you listening, Sir!

Sir! Are you listening Sir? Sir!

Are you even a human? (Screams) -Shut up!

Find out Shyamol's home address.

Okay Sir.

[Brishti hums to herself]

[Indistinct whisperings]

[Light electrical buzz]

[Foreboding effect]

[Crash]

[Brishti screams]

[Foreboding effect]

Brishti?

Brishti?

[Foreboding effect]

Brishti?

Brishti?

[Water falling]

[Foreboding effect]

[Mahamaya opens the door]

[Water falling]

Hey! I've been calling for so long?

Why didn't you answer?

Why're you in the shower in your clothes?

[Water falling]

[Music]

When will you return?

So you won't return, right?

Indra, we've just shifted to a new place.

Our child is with me.

Can't you understand? I am feeling a bit unsafe!

[Thunder rumbles in the distance]

We are not Anirban's family, Indra, your...

The same...!

[Mahamaya sighs]

[Thunder rumbles]

You're the new family?

I was saying...don't you need a cook...maid...?

Yes...no...

I am Lakshmi, Boudi.

Okay, right. Come on inside.

[Thunder rumbles in the distance]

Come.

[Suspenseful effect]

Listen...I won't be needing a maid.

You can go. Go. -Boudi?

I used to work here, Boudi.

They suddenly packed up and left!

I have many mouths to feed. My man is a farm labourer.

Does that suffice, Boudi? I need work urgently, Boudi!

Boudi, some work... -Okay, come in.

Come. Come inside.

[Man opens car door]

Please come, Sir.

[Indra closes car door] -Please come.

[Indistinct murmur among the bystanders]

[Doctor gestures that the girl is no more]

What is the time?

4.30 pm.

Collect the death certificate from my chamber after 4 hours.

[Sorrowful music]

[Man throws away the smoke as Indra comes to him]

I couldn't do anything, Sir.

I did try.

[Indra heaves a sigh]

She was asking for her father.

Such a young child...

[Sorrowful music]

[Night ambience]

Uff! Oh God!

[Anirban groans]

The dinner was too heavy for me, you know!

Your dad didn't come. So, your mother

out of anger made me eat for him too!

I thought Baba would be here for dinner at least.

You want to hear a joke?

Two Punjabis... -Drat!

Your father will be here tomorrow morning. Hmm!

What's wrong with you? You've got a new phone,

you should listen to music, watch reels, instead...

Hey! Unlock the pattern. Come on!

[Brishti unlocks the pattern]

Give it to me.

I'll create a social media profile for you.

You'll create it? -Yes.

Wait, before that...in my mobile there are some

very good photos of you.

Let me transfer them to your phone.

Won't Baba be angry? -Don't worry. I am here!

Then listen! Get me an Insta and an FB account!

And and... -Wait, one at a time!

There's that photo of me in a red dress in your phone

standing in front of a tree...I need that...

I didn't realize Shyamol, that it would come to this.

By the time I reached, it was...

it was all over...The doctor came,

but...

She was of my daughter's age.

I mean...I feel really bad, Shyamol.

I am sorry, Shyamol...I am...

[Shyamol whimpers] I'm extremely sorry.

I'll destroy everyone!

Everything...I'll destroy...

I'll destroy everyone!

You, your family, I'll finish off everyone!

I'll burn them alive!

I'll destroy everyone! -Shut up, fool!

[Shyamol sniggers]

Come on!

You don't know Shyamol, Sir! -Come on!

You killed my little girl, right?

I won't spare you! -Come on!

You don't know Shyamol, Sir! -Move!

[Sorrowful music] [Shyamol continues threatening Indra]

[Brishti scrolls through her social media account]

[Brishti smiles to herself]

[Door creaks open]

[Romantic song playing on old gramophone]

[Song gets louder as Brishti moves forward]

Mummum? Mummum?

Get up! Come on, get up!

[Curtains drawn apart]

You've to go to school!

Hmm!

[Mimics a cat]

You've to go to school! Get up, little baby!

Get up, up, up! It's quite late already, get up!

Come on, get up!

[Windchimes tinkling]

Nisith Sen

Here...I mean before us...

there was another family, right? -Yes.

Hmm.

Why did they leave suddenly?

No...I mean, who were the family members?

Why bother about old tales, Boudi?

This house was vacant for quite some time.

People thought it was haunted.

After you came, the house feels homely, again.

Drat! The man of the house hasn't arrived yet.

[Mobile rings]

Yes, tell me? -Listen...

I haven't been able to complete all my work.

I'll complete it and be there by evening.

So, you won't be here for the first day of school, right?

I said I'll come and explain. Hello? -Hmm.

Hello? -Just a minute. Hold on.

Right. Tell me.

I was saying... -Yes, quickly.

Listen...

Can you come a little early, please?

Maya, you really... -Please!

Actually, the place is unfamiliar. I am a little uneasy.

Fine. I'll see if I can.

Yes, but school... -I'll...

Hello...? - Hello?

Hello? -Hello?

Hello?

Huh!

[Mahamaya sighs]

[Foreboding music]

[Crash] "Brishti" engraved on the table.

[Suspenseful music]

Loo...look at this! -Huh?

[Suspenseful music]

What is it?

[Maya breathes heavily]

Nothing.

[Indistinct telephone conversation]

Now, you've to go to court...

Spent my life slogging... -Hey!

Stop here. I have to pee.

Yes...not him...

Hey! Stop on the left! I said I need to pee!

You know, it's police duty. Where the bosses will place you...

you never know...I...

Believe me...I can't go today... no point discussing it.

Yes...let me finish the work...

Keep an eye on him. -Yes Sir. Okay Sir.

[Hums to himself]

Yes, right...

Hmm! [Continues to hum]

Oh come on...

Listen, I'll take you out for Chinese food.

Do you have pork?

Pork, pig meat!

Do you eat pork?

Will you go?

[Suspenseful music]

He's fleeing Sir! (Screams)

You bloody swine! Hey! Hey! (Screams)

Catch him! He's fleeing, Sir! -Hey! (Screams)

Hey! Hey! -Catch him! (Shouting together)

Hey! Hey! -Catch him!

Stop! -Catch him! (Shout together)

Catch him! (Shouting together) -Go!

[Music build-up to transition]

[Birds flapping their wings]

Coming from Kolkata to this school,

you may find it a little difficult to adjust here.

No no! We did stay near Kolkata last year,

but we've stayed all over West Bengal in the last few years.

Okay.

I don't think it will be much of a problem.

That's fine then.

Even then, if you do have a problem,

I am always here to guide you.

Right? -Thank you.

Thank you so much, Ma'am.

Don't go out alone. -Hmm.

It's a new place.

Is the school to your liking? Hmm?

[Bell rings] Susmita? Please come here.

Take Brishti to class. Okay.

[Outdoor day ambience]

[Suspenseful music]

So, how was school? -It was good.

Did you make any special friends?

Special?

I mean, someone handsome!

Huh! Always pulling my leg!

[Mahamaya laughs aloud]

[Mahamaya continues giggling]

[Brishti throws bag on the bed]

[Brishti opens cupboard]

[Brishti closes cupboard]

Maa? -Yes?

Did you tell Anirban Uncle about the cupboard?

Yes.

[Brishti grunts trying to close the cupbard]

Please tell him to do something. It's irritating!

[Cupboard creaks open] [Door closes on its own]

Maa! Maa! (Brishti screams) -Brishti?

Maa! [Brishti bangs on door] -Brishti!

[Brishti bangs on door] Maa, open the door!

Wha... -The door's jammed, Maa!

What's wrong? -Maa!

What is it? -Maa!

Maa! Maa!(Brishti screams) -What is going on!

The door's not opening! Maa, open it from outside!

Wait! I'll try. Calm down.

Open it from outside, Maa! Please open it!

[Calling bell rings] -I'm coming!

Maa! -Your father's probably here!

[Calling bell ringing continuosly] Don't go Maa! Please don't!

Don't go Maa! Please don't! -Calm down, my girl!

Please wait a moment, my girl! -Maya?

Don't go Maa! -Calm down!

Wait, my darling, I'll be back! -Please Maa!

Don't go Maa! -Brishti!

I'm coming! -Maa, please don't go!

I'm coming! -Maa, please open the door!

I'm coming!

Maa!

[Mahamaya runs down the stairs, panting]

Maa! Maa! Open the door!

What happened Maya?

Maa, please open the door! Maa!

Come quickly! -What's wrong Maya?

Come quickly, I'll tell you everything!

Maya? -Come quickly, don't talk!

Maya, hey! -Just see! Huh?

Brishti?

(Mahamaya pants) -Open it!

Open it! Please!

[Indra pushes the door]

[Indra pushes open the door]

[Brishti sobs]

Mummum?

The door closed and got locked on its own!

It was not opening!

[Brishti sobs]

And you got scared because of that?

Aren't you a brave girl? Huh?

But I did not close it!

The door was open!

We can't stay on in this house.

[Brishti sobs]

Why?

That's what I...That's what I need to explain to you.

I am telling you, the things happening are disturbing.

Okay, see this.

[Indra closes the door]

This is an old door.

It can get stuck at any time.

Why're you complicating such a simple issue?

I don't get it.

[Mahamaya sighs]

Indra...

This house seems to have vastu issues.

Ever since we came, I've been feeling uneasy!

I feel...uncomfortable.

You know that I don't believe all this.

I've just got back and I'm really very tired.

Maya, please don't irritate me now.

[Indra opens the door]

[Brishti sobs]

[Soulful music]

[Night ambience]

Hey!

Why're you being so upset?

You had gone to his house.

You don't have control over everything, right?

Don't feel guilty about it, please.

Maya!

Yesterday was my first day here.

A man in custody escaped on my first day.

Such a disaster on my first day!

Where is Brishti?

[Mahamaya gestures that Brishti is inside]

[Foreboding music]

[Indra sighs]

Hey, what are you doing? Browsing on your mobile?

No, I was reading.

Hmm. Good.

Tell me, Baba... -Hmm?

Maa was saying something about vastu?

I looked it up on the net.

Is there really a vastu issue in this house?

[Indra sighs]

Look Mummum,

vastu, ghosts, supernaturality, I don't believe in all these.

You have a mobile, put it to good use.

Search for informative things.

Go to the NASA site, browse Google Street View,

Louvre, Smithsonian,

I don't know if I can ever take you to these.

The museums do have virtual tours now.

Hmm.

Look them up on your mobile.

But don't waste your time over some bullshit.

Okay? -Hmm.

You have school tomorrow, right?

And...let the door be open.

[Mobile message tone]

[Brishti types rapidly on the phone]

[Mobile message tone]

[Night ambience]

[Door creaks open]

[Suspenseful music]

[Romantic song playing on old gramophone]

He calls out to me again and again...

His call floats along with the winds...

[Musical interlude]

He, like a lover...

[The figure claws Brishti's back]

[Brishti screams in pain]

[Thunder clap]

[Electrical pulses]

[Thunder rumbles]

[Electrical flickers]

Huh! No!.... (Brishti screams)

[Brishti runs away, panting]

[Brishti pants heavily]

[Brishti moans]

[Electrical flickers]

[Thunder rumbles]

[Suspenseful music]

[Brishti stops, breathes heavily]

[Thunder rumbles]

[Brishti moans in fear]

[Suspenseful music]

[Crash]

[Brishti moans in fear]

[Mahamaya knocks on the door] -Mummum?

[Intense music build-up]

Mummum? -Maa! (Brishti screams)

Brishti? -What is it, Brishti?

Brishti? -My girl?

Maa! [Brishti screams] -Mummum!

[Door pushed open]

Maa! (Screams) -Mummum!

Mummum? -Maa! [Brishti screams]

What's this? How did this happen? -Brishti!

Look at this! How did this happen?

Brishti? -Oh my God!

[Brishti sobs]

Don't cry. It'll be fine. I'll apply medicine. You'll be fine.

My darling girl! Don't cry.

[Brishti screams in pain]

You'll be fine! Wait, I'll take care of it!

Stay with her, I'm coming! -Where're you going?

Somebody had definitely come, Maya!

[Brishti screams in pain]

How did this happen?

Can an assault in a dream hurt in reality, Maa?

What?

I...I... -Slowly...

[Brishti sobs in pain]

What are you saying?

I am sure I saw, Maa,

a man hugged me forcibly and clawed my back!

What are you saying? You saw in a dream, Mummum

a man clawing your back? -Yes!

Yes! Yes, Maa!

[Brishti sobs]

Maa! (Sobs]

Astral travel!

You'll be fine, my girl, fine! Wait a moment! Wait!

Wait, just a minute!

Everything will be fine!

[Calling bell]

Just a moment...

Nisith Sen

[Calling bell]

[Indra opens the door]

Uh...is there a problem?

What problem?

I live next door. I heard a scream and came over.

You are... -Where is your daughter?

Is she inside? -Yes...but...

Please move aside! -But do I...excuse me...Hey!

[Indra closes the door]

She lives next door!

She heard Brishti screaming...

Brishti?

Do you get a burning smell?

That means you do!

What burning smell?

Are you getting it now?

[Suspenseful effects]

No...

But I do get it in this room.

[Suspenseful effects]

Please...

[Opens door]

What...?

[Suspenseful effects]

Why is this burnt tyre here?

Actually, we shifted here just yesterday.

I had no idea it was there.

A burnt tyre kept here like this...

Maybe the previous tenants left it here.

You're local? You'd definitely have known them?

No. I've only been here for six months.

This house has been empty since then.

I've no idea who had lived here last.

Maya, I think Brishti needs...

Lakshmi may have kept it there.

Lakshmi...is your maid?

But, would a new maid do something that...

would scare you and drive you away?

Maya, I think Brishti needs to rest now!

Hmm. I am really very sorry. I will leave.

[Suspenseful effects]

You'll have very sound sleep. Wait and see.

Tell me, can I take this tyre?

What will you do with it?

Sorry, I haven't introduced myself. I am Ira Mitra.

I teach in a college. My subject is Parapsychology.

In this country,

I've not heard of any university teaching this subject.

Then you're uninformed. You can google it later.

I don't teach here, but abroad. I studied abroad too.

But my sensitive soul and curiosity has taken me a little further.

Come to my house tomorrow. I have a lot to share.

Okay, I'll come over myself. I'll leave now. Good night.

See her to the door! (Mahamaya whispers)

Come on!

[Doorbell rings]

[Doorbell rings]

I'll go.

Wait, I'll go.

[Doorbell rings]

[Doorbell rings. Indra opens the door]

Good morning. Sorry, I came so early.

Move aside please.

[Ira turns over the drawing]

[Suspenseful effect]

[Suspenseful effect] [Brishti groans in pain]

[Crash]

Brishti has great skill in drawing.

Have you stayed in a hilly area before?

Or visited such a place in the last 2 years?

We didn't go anywhere in the last two years.

I was posted in Dooars when Brishti was much younger.

Okay.

May I know why you are asking?

Hey, Maya Di, Indra Da, I am sorry, I am...so...late.

I have to talk to Brishti.

One to one.

Who is that flying up there?

It's me.

But then, who is that with parents, standing below?

That's me too.

If you're flying, how can you be down there?

I don't know.

That's what I saw in my dreams.

And I would see myself in my dreams.

Do you see yourself now?

I did not for quite some time.

But...

after I came here...

I've started again.

[Suspenseful music]

In your dreams,

the bathtub that you see in the bungalow in the hills,

where is that place?

[Suspenseful effect]

How do you know about that?

Whatever you see in your dreams,

is a state of consciousness.

Visual images.

[Suspenseful effect]

Not everyone can have those dreams.

But I...

those visual projections of your mind,

I can see them.

There's nothing supernatural in this.

Some people can hear low-decibel sounds,

some can see far-off objects better than others,

similarly, I have special vision.

That means...you've seen whatever I have seen?

[Crash]

[Hideous figure laughs]

Maybe not all, but I've sensed most of it.

And that is why I am so concerned.

If we knew where the house in the hills was...

[Brishti sobs]

I don't know, I really don't!

That's okay. Okay. Relax.

[Outdoor day ambience]

You've no idea who she is!

We don't know her and she just walked into the house.

I couldn't say anything as she is a woman.

Whatever you see in your dreams from now on,

you tell me everything. Hmm? -Hmm.

Don't hide anything. Okay? -Hmm.

I would heal your pain.

I promise.

It is really strange.

Even when I'd come to this house, or

when I got the house cleaned, I hadn't seen her anywhere.

That's a silly thing to say!

Should she have stood on her balcony, for you?

Listen Maya! -Hey!

Listen Maya! (Softens tone)

Parapsychology is a scam.

It's completely fake without any scientific basis.

Oh!

So that's why many foreign universities teach it, right?

Oh God!

People are studying masters and completing doctorates

and it does not have any scientific basis?

[Mahamaya sighs]

Indra...

Indra?

Indra, your ego stops you from accepting it.

But there are a lot of things, which

cannot be explained by mainstream science.

Maya, you don't get it...! -Indra Da.

I think we're digressing from the issue.

Tell me Maya Di,

are you sure that the claw marks on Brishti's back

didn't come from her own nails? It can happen?

Her wounds are too deep, you know!

They're from some sharp object,

the cuts are from some sharp metallic object!

[Anirban lights Indra's cigarette]

Someone had entered Brishti's room!

He wanted to harm Brishti while she slept!

He fled when he heard us coming!

I don't like it, Indra!

Whether you accept it or not,

there's something supernatural at work in this house!

Huh! -Mrs. Mukherjee?

Please come outside.

What now?

The plant was fine yesterday.

It dried up like this overnight?

Throw away this plant, Mrs. Mukherjee.

A dead basil plant like this, here...

We can't stay in this house!

There's definitely something wrong with this house!

You're making a mistake!

There's nothing wrong with this house.

But I'll not tolerate... -I get your point.

She just walks in... -I get it. Calm down.

Strange lady!

Don't get upset... -Indra?

She wants to talk to you about Brishti.

Indra Da, I'll leave now.

Wait! We'll talk about Brishti. Why are you leaving? Stay.

I mean...there's urgent work at the station.

Hey! -You come later. Take your time.

Take care.

[Ira sighs]

Mr. Mukherjee?

How much do you know about your daughter?

Sorry?

Parents are too busy nowadays, you know.

They gift gadgets to their children...

Don't comment without knowing about me or my lifestyle!

Ira, you're misunderstanding us.

We do not pamper Brishti with gifts.

We gave her the mobile 2 days ago for her birthday.

And Brishti is close to us.

She shares everything with us. Right?

She does not , Mrs. Mukherjee.

If she did, you'd have known she's an astral traveller!

[Suspenseful effect]

It's an out of body experience.

There's a lot of research done abroad on this.

One is born with this ability.

Astral travellers do not realize that

in their sleep they're travelling in another dimension.

That is, their soul travels.

atma.

They do not realize that they are not dreaming.

It is another dimension.

Human and non-human souls live in this dimension.

Not all these souls are good, Mr. Mukherjee.

And demonic entities are equally dangerous.

They're the most destructive and powerful entity.

They're so powerful that

they can connect with the bodies of astral travellers

and enter our dimension.

Mr. Mukherjee,

Brishti didn't have a dream last night.

She was travelling in another dimension.

And a demonic entity has entered our dimension with her

and is trying to harm her.

It will be disastrous if it can't be sent back.

How much is your fee? -What?

I mean that's what you do. Chasing away ghosts...

How much do you charge?

Mind your tone, Mr. Mukherjee.

Do you think I said all these to earn money?

Your sales pitch was impressive. Uh...

What were you saying? Demonic entity...

then astral...whatever it was you said.

Fanciful crap!

I'll take your leave now, Mrs. Mukherjee.

You...what...

Just keeping an eye on your girl isn't enough, Mr. Mukherjee.

Who your daughter talks to or follows on social media,

must also be tracked by you as a parent.

I hope you do that?

The night and danger are synonymous for Brishti.

Keeping that in mind will benefit both of you.

[Indra sighs]

You are disgusting! -So are you, Maya!

[Music]

Maya, nothing is wrong with Brishti.

Prepare her, I'll take her to a doctor and then to school.

You can collect her after school.

Are you out of your mind?

She'll go to school in this state?

Don't argue Maya. Let her get back to normal.

As for security, I'll take care of it. Okay?

If she's home, she'll have negative thoughts,

or have bad dreams. Why let that happen?

Go and get her ready.

[Outdoor ambience]

Actually we did not want her to miss the classes.

She is not quite well.

Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her.

You can rest assured...

[Brishti winces] -Sorry.

I forgot to tell you that the wound is on her back.

Okay, I'll take care of her.

[Bell rings]

[Soulful music]

What is Indian history?

[Soulful music]

[Brishti sketches]

[Teacher lectures]

[Soulful music]

Okay.

An ex-faculty of our school has passed away.

So, you will have a half-day today.

Everyone, go home carefully. Okay?

[Outdoor day ambience]

[Suspenseful music] [Shyamol follows Brishti]

[Suspenseful music] [Brishti senses that she's being followed]

[Suspenseful music intensifies]

[Suspenseful music intensifies] [Brishti starts running]

[Suspenseful music intensifies] [Car follows Brishti]

[Suspenseful music intensifies] [Brishti stumbles over]

[Suspenseful music]

[Ira opens car door]

[Brishti winces]

Brishti?

Brishti? What happened? Get up! Get up. Carefully.

Slowly.

What are you doing here all alone, huh?

Didn't you go to school?

I went to school. But we were released early.

I was returning home, but...

I was being followed.

Brishti! Who was following you?

I do not know the person.

You come with me. Come on.

I'll drop you home.

Come slowly.

Slowly.

You shouldn't have come alone like this.

Slowly. [Ira closes car door]

Careful. [Ira closes car door]

[Ira starts the car and moves off]

[Suspenseful effects]

[Shyamol pulls the chain off the leaf]

Nisith Sen

We've just reached here and accidents keep happening!

Luckily I saw Brishti running into the woods from my car.

I scolded your daughter, Mrs. Mukherjee.

She shouldn't have come alone.

Especially after what happened last night!

Indra works in the police department,

he can't just resign and leave this place.

We might have to leave this house.

Mrs. Mukherjee,

leaving this house won't solve the problem.

I understand it's difficult for you to accept the situation.

But it's still the truth.

Whatever I had predicted is happening.

The demonic soul is behind all this.

It's a rather violent entity.

It's repeatedly trying to harm Brishti.

If we can't return it to its world,

you can't imagine how disastrous it will be!

That demonic soul will follow Brishti wherever she goes!

[Suspenseful effect]

What is it? Why are you here?

Complete your work. Sweep the place.

I was saying Boudi, can I leave for today?

I'm in a big hurry today!

But you haven't made dinner?

Please let me go today, Boudi, I have to go!

Just give me a couple of minutes.

I'll give you some food for your daughter.

You can give that tomorrow. I have to leave today!

Strange! What's the big hurry for?

It's okay. I'll leave now.

Hey, that can't be! It's past noon, have lunch.

I'll come some other day. I have an online class today.

Okay.

Uh...actually, Mrs. Mukherjee...

the way your husband behaved in the morning,

I'd decided I'd never enter this house again.

But after considering Brishti's situation,

I am back again.

Mrs. Mukherjee, I can help you.

But for that, I need consent from both of you.

Hmm.

Goodbye. -Yes.

What's up with you?

Why were you trying to run from her?

No no Boudi, I really have some urgency today.

Don't lie. Tell me, what's wrong!

Boudi, none from our village dares to enter her house.

Everyone calls her a witch!

Shame on you, Lakshmi! Is this right?

Do you know, she's a highly educated person!

She's teaches abroad! She's a professor.

Moreover, if she hadn't been there today,

who knows, what would've happened to my daughter!

Okay, you can go. Go.

[Birds flapping their wings]

[Transition effect]

[Maya cooking]

Brishti?

Brishti?

Brishti, get me the curd, my girl?

[Curd placed on the table]

Don't go. There's ginger and garlic near the mixie.

Yes, put them in the mixie.

Yes, start it.

Mummum? -Mummum? -Mummum?

Mummum, you're fine. -Here, we are here.

Mummum? -Here, I am here!

Mummum, we are with you. Nothing's wrong with you.

Her pulse rate is high.

She needs complete rest.

Uh...don't get up. Stay down.

I am prescribing medicnes.

You'll be fine. -Start them immediately.

The wound on her leg is rather unusual.

A fall from a swing cannot cause such a wound.

What had happened, my girl? Can you remember anything?

Anyway, here's the prescription,

start the medicines immediately.

And call me if there's any issue. Okay?

Hmm. Take care, my girl.

Come, I'll see you to the door. -Okay.

Nothing will happen my girl, you'll be fine.

Huh... -It's okay.

Brishti? Where's the pendant?

The Maa Durga pendant?

I did not take it off, Maa!

Then where did it go?

Did it fall off somewhere?

[Night ambience]

[Suspenseful effect]

You always feel whatever you say is right!

Whatever you do is right and everyone else is wrong!

Why should I listen to you?

When there's trouble are you ever available?

You have duty 24x7!

What rubbish are you saying, Maya?

I've been home since afternoon.

You are. Only since the trouble's graver!

Indra!

I'm repeatedly telling you! I am giving you proof!

Why are you not convinced, that

this is not like any other crime?

Listen, there's surely some supernaturality at work!

Whatever you say, I will meet Ira!

[Indra sighs]

You have so much faith on a total stranger, but

but not on me.

I did not say that, Indra.

But what you're doing is... -Maya, please! Listen!

Maya, I am not sitting idle!

I do have a clue!

And you need to know that.

Then you can decide.

Whether you will rely on my investigation,

or you will go to Ira.

Okay?

Maya, the cases that I work with,

I do not discuss them with you.

It's because they're so violent, so dark!

It would be traumatic for a layman to hear about them!

Anyway, the case that I will narrate to you now,

shocked our entire police department!

The case was so unbelieveably gory!

Actually,

within 4 months two 13-14 year old girls from the hills

went missing.

We had no clues.

There was just a single reference.

Both girls went missing from near the Sen Estate's boundary.

[Car stops. Door opens]

[Indra closes car door]

Is Mr. Sen in? -Yes Sir.

Please come, Sir. This way.

Hi! I am Nisith.

Indra. -Hmm.

[Nisith takes a deep puff]

I'm hearing a lot of good things about you all around.

From the SP, DM et al.

A talented, bright officer's arrived from Kolkata.

Hmm? The DM and SP spoke to you about me?

I'm truly honoured.

You deserve it.

Tell me, how can I help you?

And, hope you don't mind if I...

No. Please carry on...

Thanks.

Actually, I am a chef by passion.

I cook for pleasure, sometimes.

And kebab is my speciality.

I'll treat you too!

Do you know them? Take a look.

[Nisith sighs]

Well, I can't remember these...

Both of them worked in your estate.

No, no way.

I don't recruit child labour. Strictly!

Actually, what happens is,

they come with their parents, you know.

For the labourers in my garden,

I've built a big hall for rest and refreshment.

It is centrally heated.

In winter,

many labourers bring their family members along.

They stay on at night. I don't object.

She is Kamala Di.

The poor soul is deaf and mute.

[Kamala Di pours tea]

Yes, as I was saying...

I can't remember if I've seen these two earlier.

Uh...

They may be from our tea estate,

but I can't recognize...

Here.

Well, I was only looking for compliments!

[Indra places the cup on the table]

[Indra picks with a fork]

Wow!

It's great. -The pleasure is all mine.

By the way,

people disappearing in this region is nothing new.

You probably know it. You must've read the old files.

Actually, many have died here from leopard attacks.

I feel that,

since you haven't found a trace in all these days,

they were also victims of similar attacks.

Either leopard attacks or...

Oh My God! Trafficking!

Another menace! God! What'll happen to this country!

Women here get neither respect, nor security!

They traffic these young girls...

and sell them off at will...

The Nepal border's nearby.

How will you find them?

[Foreboding effect]

Well...if you come across any clue...

please inform us. -Definitely.

You heard my version. Maybe something will come of it.

Other than that, shall I talk to an NGO?

Let's see.

And, I'll be happy if you visit once in a while.

And I stay all alone... Kamala Di?

What is it?

She's joined a couple of months ago.

The previous maid was here since my father's time.

Hmm. Kamala Di seems to be more efficient.

She doesn't miss anything. Right?

Okay then?

I'll take your leave then.

[Night ambience]

[Indistinct conversation]

Sir? -Hmm?

A woman wants to meet you.

Hmm.

[Kamala Di places container on the table]

How dare you put that on Sir's table!

I know her. She cannot speak.

[Indra sighs]

What is in that?

[Intense suspenseful music]

[Kamala Di opens container]

[Intense suspenseful music]

Put her in the women's cell for now.

And inform Headquarters that we will need backup.

Where will we go, Sir? -Nisith Sen's residence!

Nisith Sen

[Policeman handcuffs Nisith]

[Crowd talking together]

Leave him to us, Sir! You don't know what a devil he is!

[Collective screams of crowd]

Please calm down! I know what a devil he is!

And he will be punished... -You have no idea, Sir!

He's a devil!

He killed our girls and ate their flesh as kebabs!

We won't spare him, Sir! We won't spare him!

[Indistinct collective screams]

[Suspenseful effect]

[Indistinct collective screams]

Officer! Officer, what the hell are you doing!

Officer help me!

[Suspenseful music]

[Indra throws up]

Indra help me!

Indra, please!

Officer, please! Please!

Please! Officer!

[Man splashes kerosene]

[Intense suspenseful music]

Officer! (Screams)

Officer! (Screams)

[Nisith screams]

A bathtub was connected to each of Nisith's murders.

See this.

Maya, it's my hunch that

whatever's happening to Brishti may have a link to Nisith.

Indra? -Huh?

Whose photo is this?

This is Binsa Lepcha.

I went to Nisith Sen's house looking for her.

And that monster killed her!

And then he carved, roasted and...

I have seen her Indra! -What?

[Swish effects]

Maya, do you know what you're saying?

You saw Binsa Lepcha's ghost in this house?

I have to talk to Ira, Indra!

Maybe she can help me! -She can't do anything, Maya!

All you can think of is Ira and Ira!

Instead of Ira if you'd kept an eye on our girl, then...

You're saying that I don't look after Brishti...?

No, you don't, Maya!

If you did, you'd know of her social media contacts!

This is one thing Ira was right about!

See this! Look!

This is Jamini Sen's profile! From Brishti's friend list!

But how is this connected to the attack on Brishti?

There is a connection, Maya, there is!

Look carefully at the name!

Jamini Sen and Nisith Sen!

'Nisith' and 'Jamini' both have the same meaning.

Night!

This case will be solved with this clue from Nisith Sen!

Jamini Sen's profile is the clue! -Indra!

You're saying Nisith Sen's spirit is behind all this?

No Maya! That is impossible!

But he must have had an accomplice in his carnage!

That person helped Nisith.

Someone very close to Nisith.

That person has now re-emerged!

Damn it!

Why didn't I think of this before? -What?

I had closed the case before coming!

Where are you going?

Maya, I've to go! -Now? So late at night?

Maya, someone very close to Nisith is targeting Brishti!

He's attacking Brishti! I have to track him down!

But...

[Car moves off]

[Foreboding music]

[Outdoor day ambience]

This house has a vastu issue!

I won't eat. I'm not feeling like eating that.

How will you recover if you don't eat well, my girl?

The doctor's given you big pills, right?

You have to eat, my girl. Open up, wider.

How things changed!

Such a happy, cheerful girl...

Open your mouth, wide.

The basil plant at the entrance has died.

There's a weird smell around! -Where's Maa?

She's gone to the neighbour's house. Open wide?

I knew something like this would happen.

Nisith Sen was such a monster!

A demonic spirit is trying to harm Brishti!

Ira...please help my daughter.

And that girl too!

I have a feeling that she's suffering even after her death!

You have a good heart, Mrs. Mukherjee.

I am amazed.

You're in such a grave situation,

but you're not just thinking of your own daughter.

I'd be happier if you call me Maya Di or Maya.

Fine.

Maya Di.

[Calling bell rings]

[Indra rings the bell]

[Door opens]

Is Mohit Babu in? -Indra Babu?

Yes. -Please come in.

Baba?

Baba?

Baba?

[Incoherent sound]

Indra Babu is here.

You can talk to him. Okay?

After so many years...

I have to face my sins again.

I did not expect this.

Can you repeat what you said? I didn't get you.

Nisith...

Nisith Sen.

The one you've come to enquire about.

I had saved him from extreme punishment.

It'd help if you could tell me the story in detail.

Nisith was a pampered brat from a rich family.

There were various complaints against him since childhood.

Nisith's grandfather was a member of the Trustee Board.

So no action against him was...

Nisith's grandfather was a member of the Trustee Board?

Yes. When Nisith was in class eight,

he had a quarrel with a girl in his class.

The girl complained against Nisith and his friend,

that they had misbehaved with the girl.

The matter was brushed under the carpet

to avoid a police case.

Nisith was suspended for a few days,

and the other boy was rusticated.

Nisith was subsequently sent abroad,

and the other boy's family left the town.

Their whereabouts are unknown.

Sir? -Hmm?

Do you have contacts of any members of that batch?

Please hand me the diary on that table.

This one? -No.

Then is it this one?

Yes...yes.

What is this?

This is a Ouija board.

This is a medium,

to communicate with spirits and non-human entities.

You can think of this as a gateway,

between this world and the world beyond.

Through this we'll try to know who is troubling Brishti.

We'll try to return that entity back to its domain.

[Suspenseful effect]

The entity your girl is dealing with,

is too strong and powerful Maya Di.

We'll try our best!

Please be positive and trust in God!

But...

to sit on the Ouija board, we'll need another person.

Another person?

[Lakshmi breathes heavily, visibly scared]

Oh Boudi!

[Stammers in fear]

Please let me go Boudi, let me go home.

Lakshmi, my daughter needs to be saved!

I can't do this, Boudi!

I'd told you, no villager dares to enter this house!

And you brought me here!

Lakshmi...

I know that you do not like me.

You are scared.

But just think of Brishti!

You know how the girl is suffering?

Whatever I am doing is only for Brishti.

A bad spirit is trying to harm Brishti.

We have to send it back to its home.

And three people are required for that.

Tell me Lakshmi, who else can I ask, but you?

[Lakshmi takes deep breaths nervously]

[Lakshmi drinks water from a bottle]

Okay. Let's do it.

Maya Di, let's start.

We all must stay focused and serious.

If we stay focused

against any negative energy,

we can automatically generate our self-defence.

I will lead. Right?

But Maya Di and Lakshmi,

it all depends on you two.

There will be dangers. There may be accidents.

But we mustn't break the circle under any circumstance!

When we finish talking with it,

we have to say "Go back" with all our will power.

Else, the result will be dangerous, Maya Di!

[Suspenseful effect]

[Shyamol peeps through the tree]

[Brishti sighs in sleep]

[The trio move the planchette]

Nisith Sen

Take care.

All the best, my girl.

What you've done for us is beyond comparison!

I didn't get your name.

How would knowing my name help, Madam?

It's better you don't know it.

Why are you saying this? You saved my daughter!

[Mahamaya sobs. [Shyamol sighs]

Actually, two days ago, because of your husband,

I lost my own daughter!

[Soulful music]

What are you saying! -I thought I would harm her.

I could not.

[Mahamaya sobs]

This is probably your daughter's.

Yes...this pendant...

This pendant...where did you get it?

[Suspenseful effect]

I am scared!

Stop it! -Indra!

Shyamol! -Indra! Indra, wait!

Shyamol, wait! -Indra! Indra!

[Indra shoots at Shyamol]

Indra wait! Don't shoot him! -Shyamol! Shyamol!

Indra! She saved our daughter's life!

She saved our daughter's life!

[Mahamaya pants]

[Indra kicks the tree and punches the light post]

[Indra screams]

[Mahamaya pants]

Maya, he's a criminal! A fugitive!

He entered our house to kill our daughter!

Why don't you understand this?

[Mahamaya pants]

[Lakshmi sweeps the floor]

Lakshmi, you had better go home today.

We will see about the rest tomorrow.

It's been a hard day.

I'll complete the sweeping and leave.

It's not good to have this garbage in the house.

[An object scrapes the ground]

Look Boudi, Dada's watch is completely burnt.

This is Nisith Sen's watch! -What!

This was one of the items confiscated from Nisith!

Now the question that arises is,

how did an item in police custody, end up here?

First there was that burnt tyre,

now it's this watch belonging to Nisith Sen?

Such belongings of a person who died unnaturally,

do you have any idea how deadly, how unholy they can be?

Their spirits are attached to these personal belongings!

Tell me, by keeping these things in our house,

is someone trying to push those spirits into our house?

Who has given you these ideas? That Ira?

You don't believe it, right? -No!

No, I don't believe this. -Fine.

Then explain how these got here. Who kept them?

Maya!

That these incidents are connected to Nisith Sen,

is beyond doubt.

But, your perspective and mine are totally different!

You think someone's placing Nisith's belongings here,

and Nisith's spirit is attacking Brishti.

No Maya!

Maya, the placing of Nisith's belongings in this house,

and the attacks on Brishti, do not involve a spirit!

This can mean only one thing!

[Indra sits]

This is an open challenge to me, Maya!

Jamini Sen's profile, and an address.

These are the only two clues that I have.

I did not understand, Indra. -Let me explain, Maya.

The serial killer of Dooars is active again!

But this time someone else is copying his modus operandi.

I have to find him!

I know I am on the right track.

[Indra hurriedly packs his backpack]

You left so suddenly yesterday!

After such a serious incident today, you're leaving again?

Today's incident wouldn't have happened,

if you hadn't irresponsibly left your daughter alone here

and gone to the neighbour's to converse with spirits!

I'll arrange security. Do not leave the house even for a moment!

I'm going to the station.

I'll complete pending work and leave for Kolkata in the morning.

I've to go to Bhabani Bhavan.

Tomorrow is 7th May. It's Brishti's birthday.

I know Maya. I'll complete my work and return by evening.

Great.

Anirban has already ordered the cake.

So, all your responsibilities are taken care of?

Maya, I've made much progress in my investigation.

It's true that... -Indra Da!

I'm sorry Indra Da, I couldn't come on time!

You know, I was very far away.

Maya Di, I can't imagine... -It's okay.

Brishti... -Relax Anirban, relax.

It's all taken care of. Calm down, okay?

I'll leave now, Boudi. -Hmm.

Lakshmi?

Lakshmi, will you stay the night with Boudi?

Yes. -I've to go away for some work.

I'll inform your family on the way. And,

keep an eye on Brishti.

Come on. You'll take the car? -Hmm.

[Mahamaya sits and sighs]

[Night ambience]

[Sound of painful groans]

[Shyamol winces in pain]

[Shyamol breathes heavily]

I've told you so many times not to do all this.

[Shyamol winces in pain]

It won't be good for us. You saw what happened?

We lost our daughter, right?

But you still didn't learn your lesson.

[Shyamol winces in pain]

Where are my daughter's bangles?

[Sorrowful music]

Bangles?

Bring them to me.

Why? -Because I told you to.

[Sorrowful music]

[Night ambience]

[Light is switched on]

[Cupboard door creaks open]

[Eerie whispers] Come, come close...

I need to talk to you...

[Whisperings continue]

[Suspenseful music]

[Mahamaya opens door]

[Mahamaya draws apart the clothes]

[The girls scream collectively]

[Crash effect]

[Lakshmi yawns]

[Lakshmi rolls up the mat]

[Lakshmi yawns]

Boudi, I'll make and bring tea. -Hmm.

We came to know about Nisith's death much later.

Actually, I never liked Nisith much.

And his partner was Palash. -Yes.

The Principal did mention him.

They weren't just friends, they were in a relationship.

They were partners. Bisexual.

Okay. -We were then in class 8.

We had a batchmate named Tanima.

She was rather arrogant.

Nisith had proposed to Tanima.

Tanima insulted Nisith rather rudely, in return.

This happened right in front of us.

She even said Palash was the best option for him.

Anyway,

a few days later the two of them molested Tanima.

A complaint was made to the Headmaster too.

Just two days later, Tanima was murdered.

Murdered! -Yes.

Not just that. They chopped her body into pieces,

and dumped the pieces in a sack in the bushes.

Uh...if you have any photos of them, of that time...

[Lakshmi blows the conch]

[Suspenseful music]

[Mahamaya feeds Brishti payesh with a spoon]

[Suspenseful music]

Great. We won't get payesh! We're left out?

No, of course you will! -Yes.

Lakshmi serve the payesh!

When will Baba return? -Wait, I'll call him.

Will you have some more payesh?

[Anirban dials]

[Suspenseful music]

[Indra types on his mobile]

Strange!

There's no network indoors since morning. Wait a minute.

[Anirban walks out]

[Brishti sighs]

Hey, you didn't say how you liked the payesh?

It's tasty. -Then have some more.

[Indra closes the car door and taps the driver]

[Car starts and moves]

[Suspenseful music]

[Indra taps the driver again]

Roll up the windows.

[Indra dials again]

[Suspenseful music]

[Indra dials again]

[Anirban expresses irritation]

Yes, hello? -I'm unable to contact any of you!

I tried Maya and Brishti. Are you at my house?

Yes, why, what's wrong?

Listen carefully to what I am saying!

All the four girls mentioned in Jamini Sen's profile are dead!

What are you saying?

Their murder locations have also been identified.

Wherever I've been posted in the last four years,

the murders were committed in the adjacent station areas.

Anirban, each of the victims was fourteen,

and each of them was murdered on Brishti's birthday.

What? -Do you get it now?

What are you saying, Indra Da?

Somebody's openly challenging me.

Save your daughter if you can!

[Indra takes a deep breath]

Anirban, today is Brishti's fourteenth birthday!

I am sure that she will be attacked today!

Listen, I've started from Kolkata.

I'll reach as fast as I can.

Do not move from Brishti's side even for a moment!

Not even for a moment, Anirban! Got it?

Yes.

Sir, there was an order for a cake, Sir!

[Suspenseful music]

[Brishti pants in fear]

[Suspenseful music]

[House burning]

Maa!

Maa! Maa! (Brishti screams)

Maa!

Maa!

Maa! Maa, open the door!

Brishti! Brishti my girl! -Brishti!

Maa! (Screams) -Brishti! (Mahamaya bangs on the door)

Maa!

Brishti! -Brishti, open the door, my girl!

Brishti! Open the door!

Brishti! -Maa! (Brishti panics)

[Mahamaya bangs on the door] -Brishti, open up my girl!

She's not opening it! She's not!

[Brishti screams]

[Brishti panics. Flames burning] -Open the door, my girl!

[Vocals] -Open up, Brishti! Brishti!

[Ira chants mystical incantations]

[Lakshmi strikes the door with a crowbar]

[Ira chants mystical incantations]

Brishti! Open the door, my girl! [Ira continues to chant]

Brishti!

[Brishti moans]

[Ira chants mystical incantations]

[Suspenseful music]

Brishti! Brishti! -Brishti!

Brishti, my girl! -Brishti!

[Vocals]

[Ira pushes open the door]

[Items burning. Shyamol is standing with Brishti on his lap]

Nisith Sen

Take care.

All the best, my girl.

What you've done for us is beyond comparison!

I didn't get your name.

How would knowing my name help, Madam?

It's better you don't know it.

Why are you saying this? You saved my daughter!

[Mahamaya sobs. [Shyamol sighs]

Actually, two days ago, because of your husband,

I lost my own daughter!

[Soulful music]

What are you saying! -I thought I would harm her.

I could not.

[Mahamaya sobs]

This is probably your daughter's.

Yes...this pendant...

This pendant...where did you get it?

[Suspenseful effect]

I am scared!

Stop it! -Indra!

Shyamol! -Indra! Indra, wait!

Shyamol, wait! -Indra! Indra!

[Indra shoots at Shyamol]

Indra wait! Don't shoot him! -Shyamol! Shyamol!

Indra! She saved our daughter's life!

She saved our daughter's life!

[Mahamaya pants]

[Indra kicks the tree and punches the light post]

[Indra screams]

[Mahamaya pants]

Maya, he's a criminal! A fugitive!

He entered our house to kill our daughter!

Why don't you understand this?

[Mahamaya pants]

[Lakshmi sweeps the floor]

Lakshmi, you had better go home today.

We will see about the rest tomorrow.

It's been a hard day.

I'll complete the sweeping and leave.

It's not good to have this garbage in the house.

[An object scrapes the ground]

[Suspenseful music]

Look Boudi, Dada's watch is completely burnt.

[Suspenseful music]

Indra? -Hmm?

Indra? -Hmm?

Look at this. It was in the next room.

[Suspenseful music]

Just a minute!

[Suspenseful music]

[Suspenseful music]

[Suspenseful music] [A little girl stumbles over]

[Suspenseful music] [An elderly figure approaches her]

[Suspenseful music]

Do something, Doctor!

How much longer will the girl lie here like this?

We're doing our best.

And it's impossible to predict when a coma patient will recover.

Moreover, we don't know the cause of her condition.

Tell me, you said that she was sleeping?

Yes. After dinner she went to her room to sleep, as usual.

She did not wake up since.

Strangely, all her health parameters are normal.

The general public are forbidden here, my girl.

I've acquired this power after great penance.

Don't ever come back here. Okay?

There's danger here at every step.

I didn't want to come here.

I come here sometimes after I fall asleep.

I find it very difficult to return, you know!

Some people are born with this ability.

But they remain unaware of these dimensions.

They get into trouble after coming here.

Please save my daughter, Gurudev.

I won't take much time.

I have great faith in the science of medicine.

I have just one request.

I want to give her this pendant.

You won't be able to come here again.

You are now free from danger.

Go now.

Never take off this pendant. Okay?

Dada, we've to find that Maa Durga pendant.

Else there'll be grave danger!

[Mahamaya and Brishti pant heavily. A scared Binsa accompanies them]

[Suspenseful music]

You cannot escape. You just can't escape!

I'll trap you here forever!

[Voice reverberates]

[Lakshmi searches frantically] Have the water.

You're okay now?

You'd overeaten. Drink the water and don't worry.

Don't worry.

[Lakshmi finds the pendant]

Are you feeling okay now? -Yes, I am okay.

Maa! -Shh!

[Mahamaya and Brishti pant heavily]

[Mahamaya finds the pendant on Brishti]

We needn't fear any more. We needn't.

Nisith Sen

Haven't I told you? You can't escape!

[Mahamaya, Brishti and Binsa followed by other girls come forward slowly.]

I won't let you escape!

[Mahamaya holds up the pendant]

[Figure groans in pain]

[Mahamaya comes forward with the pendant]

[Pendant generates waves. Figure groans]

[Figure falls on his knees, groaning]

[Girl signals to the others to follow her]

[Figure falls backwards, groaning]

Maya!

Maa! Maa! Maa!

[Brishti is caught by the figure]

Maa!

[Binsa rushes at the figure and releases Brishti]

[Figure captures Binsa, screams]

[Binsa indicates to others to escape]

[Figure throws away Binsa and crawls towards them]

[Door closes as figure crawls towards it]

[Mahamaya pants]

Huh!

Mummum?

Mummum? Mummum? Mummum? Maya?

Mummum! Maya!

Mummum! Maya!

[All three of them hug each other and cry]

[Shyamol and Lakshmi smile with relief]

[Evocative music]

Sir...Sir?

I've to go now, Sir.

Let's go, Sir.

[Evocative music]

[Indra cries as he hugs Shyamol]

[Evocative music]

Without you, we would've been killed today, Shyamol!

None of us would have survived!

[Evocative music]

My girl...

You needn't be afraid anymore, my girl.

[Mahamaya and Brishti sob]

Take care, my girl.

[Mahamaya and Brishti sob. Shyamol sobs with them.]

I promise you Shyamol.

You should get leniency for killing a seasoned criminal like Anirban.

I will ensure that.

And from today, I will look after your family.

[Car door closes]

[Car starts and leaves with Shyamol]

[Soulful music]

I didn't know him a couple of days ago.

Taking him to be a criminal, I had handcuffed him.

He saved our lives before leaving!

Another person has helped us a lot!

Who is it? -Lakshmi.

If she hadn't retrieved the pendant and put it on Brishti,

we would never have woken up.

I didn't understand.

It wasn't just Anirban who had attacked us that day.

[Crash]

Nisith Sen had attacked us too!

[Suspenseful effect]

In another dimension!

[Thunder crash]

Maya, is what you're saying really true? I can't...

Why don't you believe me, Indra?

Other dimensions aren't mentioned only in our ancient scriptures.

It is mentioned in science too.

And those who have the power to travel to other dimensions,

are called astral travellers!

Many people are born with this ability.

But they remain unaware of these dimensions.

They get into trouble after coming here.

[Guruji laughs]

[Evocative music]

I am presenting you with this Maa Durga pendant.

You will never be able to come here again.

I am an astral traveller by birth.

I didn't tell you this because

once I wear that pendant, I lose my powers.

Brishti probably inherited this ability from me.

When she was first attacked,

it raised my suspicions.

I suspected that she was able to travel to other dimensions.

It was then that I gave her the pendant.

But when she fell down in the jungle and lost the pendant,

just think it over, the second attack happened after that.

[Mahamaya sighs]

First they tried to scare us,

they tried to give you some clues,

[Suspenseful effect] [Nisith's watch]

And after they came to know that

Brishti could travel to other dimensions,

they planned that from two dimensions

they would attack and torture Brishti!

Anirban from one side,

and Nisith Sen from the other!

I can't take this anymore, please!

All this soul, dimension, witchcraft...

Bloody hell!

[Indra lights a cigarette]

A soul doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing, Indra.

Just as a man lives his mortal life,

after his death he leaves with the same energy.

Tell me, who is Binsa Lepcha? Who is she?

Did we know her?

After we shifted to this house,

she has repeatedly tried to help us.

But we did not realize it, Indra.

We were scared.

We are still not free from danger, Maya.

Ira is still missing!

We were foolish to trust her.

[Suspenseful effects]

We still don't know who Ira really is!

But I'm sure that she's a bigger threat than Anirban or Nisith!

[Crash]

[Suspenseful music]

[Ira pushes open the door and enters]

[Suspenseful music] [Ira walks around the room]

[Suspenseful music] [People quarrelling]

Don't irritate me! Don't you dare!

You have exploited me for years!

Don't provoke me! -I am provoking you? Huh?

How am I provoking you? Who the hell are you anyway?

Just because you're rich, you can do what you want?

Shut up! -Why? Why should I shut up?

Who are you to me?

You live in with a slut and you think I wouldn't know?

I have come to know everything!

You bastard! -What are you trying to say?

I'm living in with someone else?

What I've said is true! I am seeing it every day!

What do you see?

You don't know? -No, I don't!

I don't want to know!

You don't! You brought her mother home!

And what are you doing? -What am I doing, huh!

What am I doing? Come on, tell me!

I'll throw you out!

Huh! You dare touch me! -Stop your pretension!

[They fight and scream]

[Suspenseful music] But how is Ira connected to Nisith Sen?

I don't know.
