[cinematic theme music playing]

[kite screeching]

[motor boat engine purring]

[Myra voice over] Those far away skyscrapers

my dreams are lying there,

waiting for their turn.

Seeing them from here,

from this island,

I feel the distance.

How long will it take to reach there?

Months,

years,

maybe never.

Who knows!

[harp music playing]

[mobile phone ringing]

Hi, baby!

What's up? Having party tonight?

Nope, I'm shooting tomorrow.

What!? On your birthday?

Yeah. Doesn't matter.

After so long I got this,

and, you know it's good, running character.

I'm really feeling good.

By the way, where are you Madam Director?

Producer-hunting, for my script.

Same stuff, nothing new.

[Myra] Okay one day you will hit the bull's eye.

Best of luck.

Thanks. But...

Myra listen, there's a problem.

What?

Bunty bhai wants his money back.

What the hell! Why?

I'm paying interest every month.

But that doesn't matter.

He is lashing out that you're not even taking his calls.

So what?

One week, Myra.

What?

He wants the whole amount in one week.

Motherfucker! But... how?

Oh, God! It's like the whole universe is after me now.

You know, I have to vacate the bungalow next month.

Aunty's son coming to India, permanently,

so I have to look for another place.

That means, I need more money.

Oh baby, you are concerned now,

then, find a way.

How? You know I'm not working enough.

Yeah, Myra, because you are rejecting offers.

Annie, I'm not here to play fucking mother or grandmother characters.

But Myra, this is reality.

Sorry... leave it. Let's meet tomorrow.

It's your fucking birthday!

Go to hell.

Okie dokie, baby, see you tomorrow. Bye.

Bye.

[mobile phone ringing]

[uneasy music playing]

[mobile phone ringing]

[Myra voice over] Sometimes survival takes

you straight into the dark tunnel of debt

with no way to come out,

except a miracle.

Like a pot of gold,

at the end of a rainbow.

[car tyres skid]

Free coupon is over,

Myra.

[soothing music playing]

[mobile phone ringing]

[in Russian] Myra.

Yes Mom, hi.

Maria told me Anurag is coming to India?

Yes, he is coming.

Where are you planning to stay?

I don't know yet, I will look for another place.

Maybe, enough of your adventures.

It's a great time to come home.

Mom, I am not going back anywhere.

Darling, we all miss you,

and want to see you here at home.

Mom, please don't start this topic again.

How many years have you been living there?

If something was to happen,

it would've happened by now.

Mom, ok bye, I need to work.

Myra!!

[melancholy music playing]

[fast beat music playing]

[mumbling]

[door bell rings]

[door bell rings again]

This time?

What the hell? Who's there?

[suspenseful music playing]

Bastard

fucker.

[mobile pings]

I hate this twelve-at-night greetings.

Birthday is tomorrow, not this fucking night.

[mobile phone ringing]

Hello, Newton.

[Newton] Hello, Myra ma'am?

Yes...

Ma'am, your tomorrow's shoot is cancelled.

What do you mean?

The all shoot is cancelled or only mine?

Ma'am actually, the thing is...

Newton,

and you telling me this now, in the middle of the night?

I really don't know, ma'am.

They just told me to tell you right now.

I'm so sorry, ma'am.

Fuck!

[sad and unsettling music playing]

[fast-paced music playing]

[Myra's voice] Annie, I'm not here to play fucking mother or grandmother characters.

[Annie's voice] But Myra this is reality.

[Annie's voice] Leave it. Let's meet tomorrow. It's your fucking birthday!

[birds chirping]

[mobile phone ringing]

Oh, no, no, not today.

Now what?

Happy birthday, babes!

You got the flowers?

And your favourite wine.

Where's the party?

At your funeral.

Oh, come on...

Why? Where is your whore now?

She was just a friend.

I know who is she.

You dumped me for that bitch.

And what happened to all your promises?

Just come with me Myra, I will launch you big

and will make you a big star.

All industry dances on my fingers.

Yeah, that's true.

Ha, ya? Really?

I will open the door of big roles for you.

Producer-hunting is still on baby.

My foot!

You just making me fool for your pleasure.

I was so stupid!

Oh baby!

But not now if you're trying to patch up.

Grow up Myra.

Okay, let's have a party tonight,

at my place.

And you know, I met one of your fans.

Some sort of CA.

Rich guy!

Interested in movies.

I'll introduce you to him.

I don't care.

Go to hell with your false promises.

[door bell rings] And don't call me again.

Myra!

[door bell rings again] Coming, coming.

[bang]

Bunty bhai?

Surprise!!!

Tried calling you many times.

You know?

But,

no response.

Anyway

happy birthday, dear.

Just came to know about it from Annie.

So I thought,

why not have a personal visit and wish you?

Hmmm?

So you live in this bungalow?

Yeah, it's mine.

Very big bungalow!

Are you crazy?

Ha, ha!

I know, I know.

I will arrange your money very soon.

I'm trying, Bunty bhai, trust me.

Trust?

Last warning

seven days,

and then,

I will forget that you are Annie's friend.

You understand?

You better understand!

Okay, deal.

Now you're leaving? Or staying for birthday cake?

Ahh... I don't like cakes.

I don't like.

I like money.

But I have a sweet surprise for you,

and you'll love it.

And this was,

for not taking my calls.

Seven days.

Hmmm?

Ah ha ha

one more thing.

Cakes are bad for health.

[glass breaks]

Better luck next time.

[door slams]

[melancholy music playing]

[car engine sputters]

Fuck.

Fucking bitch.

[car starts honking]

[honking stops]

[lipstick squeaking on windshield]

Fucking bitch.

[sad music playing]

[sad music merges with clapping sound]

[Myra voice over] Work hard

and you will get what you dream of.

My foot!

Pseudo stories,

I hate them.

They only fill you with inferiority and sadness.

Truth is,

nobody cares for your dreams.

And why should they? [Door bell rings]

[door bell rings again]

[door bell rings again]

Annie... [Annie] Surprise!!!

Hello you. Birthday queen.

Umm... nice to see you.

I have been calling you like crazy,

and you were sleeping?

Wow!

Myra?

What is this?

What happened?

Nothing.

A friendly visit by Bunty bhai.

Fuck! Bunty bhai?

What did he do to you?

Did the motherfucker hit you?

No, darling

just friendly

give and take gestures.

Anyway...

Fuck it... let us have a party.

What? After all this?

You bitch.

You know, I am good in acting.

[dance music playing]

So,

how was the day?

Same day

same routine.

Not getting anywhere.

I am tired of this fucking struggle.

Enough!

Suicide is ok with me.

What???

You're such a bitch.

Got you.

You are so easy.

Annie

let's make your film.

I read your script,

and I think it's quite good.

You are drunk now.

Yes, I'm drunk.

But I know what I'm saying.

Okay, and how will you make this happen?

Bunty bhai!

Listen...

Nitesh trying.

And he said something useful.

Oh, no, not that big mouth again.

Annie...

I'm also fed up with way around.

I'll do whatever it takes for my dreams,

and for yours too.

You just concentrate on the film,

leave the rest to me.

Got it?

Okay... I am in.

[Myra voice over] Hope is a good and dangerous thing.

It makes you dare,

for anything,

right

wrong

moral

immoral,

but one wrong step

you will be gone

finished!

Now?

Hello...

[suspenseful music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

[stopwatch clicks]

[recorder clicks]

Your passport, please.

This is detective Naag Bhushan.

Today is 21st November 2021, Monday.

Interrogation Room number... 2.

Your name, please.

Myra.

Full name.

Myra Burton.

Passport number PUZA 007007.

Father's name David Burton, mother Nancy Burton.

Here in India on work visa.

Nationality Russian.

Profession, actor. Right?

Please tell me what it's all about.

Why I'm here?

Should I call my lawyer?

No,

I don't think so.

[bang followed by suspenseful music]

Do you know them?

Miss Myra, do you know this person?

Yeah, definitely.

This is Mr. Morani, a CA.

[suspenseful music playing]

Yeah... this is Danny.

He works with Mr. Morani,

Right.

How do you know them?

Please, answer the question.

I worked for Mr. Morani for some time.

What kind of work?

What was the nature of your job?

But what is the matter?

Please answer my question.

Look,

being small time actress

things there were not so good,

so...

I was looking for a job to run the kitchen.

I met Morani on a film set.

He looks after the money matters of many rich people,

including film producers.

You mean

money laundering?

I don't know.

I worked with him as his personal secretary

for approx. Three months,

but I don't have any idea about...

Why did you leave him?

You mean, why did I leave the job?

Of course.

Uh because, it was getting difficult for me to attend late night client meetings.

I was getting dark circles around my eyes.

You know I am an actress. It's bad for my profession.

I left about three months back.

And...

Danny?

How do you know him?

Yeah... I know him very well.

He's like... shadow of Morani.

Morani?

I mean, Mr. Morani.

Sir, I need to go to the washroom.

Yeah.

[dramatic music playing]

[mobile phone rings]

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Okay

my last question.

When did you see them last?

When I left the job.

Danny and I stayed in touch, on and off.

It has been a while since I heard from him.

In fact, I tried calling him just last week.

Is everything okay, sir?

No.

-Both are missing. -What?

For last two weeks.

Their car was found abandoned

in a forest.

Do you have any idea what could have happened to them?

No, sir

no idea but,

it seems quite unusual.

I know that some not-so-good people were around them.

But,

am I suspect, sir?

No

not at all.

We are just circling out the people

related to them.

Are you okay Ms. Myra?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Please uh, tell me now, how can I help you?

I'm getting worried now.

Yeah...

I understand.

Thank you for your time.

We'll call you back if we need your help. Okay?

You can go now.

Thanks, Detective.

I have a request.

Yeah, sure.

Will you please let me know, if you come to know their whereabouts.

I hope they're okay and will be back soon.

Yeah, sure.

[intense music playing]

[gripping music playing]

[Morani humming aloud]

Enjoying?

Enjoying my foot!

Nonsense! Who comes for trekking such early in the morning?

Hunh...

What the hell?

It was your idea only, right?

[Danny] My idea was to come during sane hours

not such early in the morning.

Anyway...

I anyway don't have a choice now.

Mm hmm. You're gonna have fun.

Just shut up and drive okay?

And

wooh... here we are.

[car tyres skid]

Ahh...

Are you kidding me?

What's this?

You always complain that I'm very slow.

This, my dear friend, will help to act fast.

[birds chirping]

[Morani] Come, come, my dear friend.

[Morani] This is going to be so much fun.

[forest ambiance]

[exhales sharply]

Danny...

Come on, come on.

What happened? Fatty boy

no use of the stick?

No, no,

it's going to be useful.

-Coming. -Come on.

[heart-pounding music playing]

[Danny groans]

[bird ambiance]

[cinematic theme music playing]

[bang]

[bird ambiance]

[dramatic music playing]

What the hell is going on?

Are you out of your mind?

Relax.

Relax, Danny relax.

I just want to talk.

Talk!

Like this?

Yes.

Definitely!

Listen carefully, Danny.

Your life depends on this.

What the hell are you talking about?

Depends on what?

First things first.

Where's Grover's money?

Grover's money?

Must be with

must be with Shree or... or Gaurav

Ahh...

I don't know.

Hehehe wow!

You've got the receiving note for three crores

and Myra too.

What the hell are you talking about yaar?

I'm the one who keeps the receipts.

You made this system, right?

What's Myra got to do with this?

She left us two months back.

You, you, you remember that, right?

Ah...

Are you thirsty?

I think you need a drink.

[leaves crackling]

You thirsty haan?

Go hell yaar with this thing.

Go, go, come on, come on, come on. Take a sip.

Take a sip.

Take a sip.

Just take me out of this.

Please

please let me go.

Where were you on Tuesday night?

At home

maybe...

I... I don't remember.

Right.

By the way, where was Myra that night?

How am I supposed to know about Myra?

She's your girlfriend. Right?

Where was she last night?

How would I know where she was?

You need to know where she is. I have, I have nothing to do with Myra. Right?

[mellow music playing]

[mobile phone ringing]

[Morani] Hey Danny.

Yes, boss.

Come downstairs. I am waiting for you. Let's go for the trek.

What?

Are you fucking kidding me?

It's 4 a.m.

Like always we'll leave early in the morning.

Come on.

That plan was supposed to be a Sunday thing.

Sunday will be crowded.

Today is better. Come on yaar!

Okay...

[Danny] Devil is here.

It's happening faster than we thought.

[suspenseful music playing]

It's early showtime.

[cinematic theme music playing]

Are you dead?

I know where she was.

How?

She told me everything.

She's been spending a lot of time with you these days.

Isn't that right?

Ohh,

so this is about that?

She has come back in your life,

and you didn't even tell me.

She came to me.

Not because something is between us,

but because

she was furious at

you.

[leaves crackling] You know Danny?

Sometimes friends do things to each other.

Bad things,

strange things,

behind their backs.

-And... -Fuck you.

You,

You were the one, who promised Myra things,

and then didn't deliver it.

And now

now you've fallen in love with her.

I know

you have been poisoning her against me.

No, Morani,

you're wrong.

Morani,

I'm not just your right hand,

I'm your best friend.

And...

I don't know what's happening between you and Myra,

but I'm just a small fry.

I have nothing to do with this.

Trust me.

[leaves rustling]

[insects calling]

Are you playing smart? Or

she's playing smart with both of us?

[suspenseful music playing]

I'm confused now.

Morani,

why did you do this to her?

You promised her the world,

but you did nothing for her.

It was a deal, right?

She did her part.

And now you

you bring me here?

To this forest to torture me.

Or maybe just to kill me.

Just because you have a stupid thought in your head

that me and Myra are dating.

Fuck, man!

How could you even think that I could do something like this behind your back?

I didn't want to lose her, so I did nothing.

And coming here for trekking was your idea, not mine.

I was just looking for a chance.

Where's she now?

[Morani] I don't know.

Her mobile is off. Her house is locked.

And here you are, denying everything.

What's all this Danny?

It's about that, there's something that's really wrong.

Is there anyone else who knows that, we're here?

I don't think so. You tell me.

Let me think.

Where is that fucking receiving note?

Whepp... You said it is with you, right?

No, no, no, no.

There is... there is something absolutely wrong.

Because she, she

she told me a totally different story.

I think she's making a fool of both of us.

Yeah

you know what?

Just untie me right now, and let's just get out of this place really quickly.

Come on, do it fast.

Danny, look,

tell me, one last time. There's nothing going on behind my back, right?

Cut the fucking crap.

[Danny] I'm telling you, there's something really wrong happening.

We need to get out of this place right now. Now untie me.

Okay, okay. Danny, I will release you. But,

but... trust me, I did not want to hurt you.

I was just jealous and full of hatred. You understand?

Oh, God!!!

Please promise me you will not hurt me? Hunh?

No, you're wrong.

I'm going to bloody kill you.

-Hunh? -What hunh?

I'll kill you if I pee in my fucking pants.

Now, open it right now.

Fucking asshole...

Boss?

Boss...

Morani?

Boss?

Morani...

Morani?

Boss...

Mora...

[Morani whimpering]

Now what?

I'm missing her.

I love her.

I don't know where she's gone.

Please find her for me.

Fuck, man! What a Romeo!

Listen. It's okay.

It happens to the best of us.

She'll come back to you.

Give this to me.

Give it to me.

Come, let's go to the waterfall.

It's getting very hot.

Come on, come on.

Oh God come.

She'll come back, right?

Ya ya she'll come back.

I trust you.

What the hell Danny?

There is no water here, yaar.

What are you saying, man?

Go check it out. There's a lot of water there. Go, go, go.

Give this to me.

Go.

[intense music playing]

It's completely dry.

No water here as well.

[Danny] Come on. What are you talking about?

There's definitely water. Just check it out na.

No, yaar.

[dramatic music playing]

[thrilling music playing]

[kites scream along with Morani]

[Morani's body thuds]

I killed Morani.

I killed Morani.

[Danny] I killed. [Mobile phone vibrating]

[Danny] I killed...

[mobile phone vibrating]

Hello.

Hello, where are you baby?

Sorry, I was not feeling well,

so sleeping.

What happened?

Nothing

just drank too much.

Listen, Myra, I need some money to pay the dialogue writer.

The script with changes is ready. I am so happy.

We are planning for the shooting from next week.

You're ready naa?

Because I will send you the script.

How much money do you need right now?

Uhh... I think ten for the time being is okay.

Okay.

Everybody wants money,

and money.

[dramatic music playing]

[cartoons playing on TV]

[night cricket]

[car key clicks]

[dramatic music playing]

[cinematic theme music playing]

Fucking bitch.

[film unit murmuring]

Hunh?

-Nothing, ma'am. -What are you looking for?

Nothing ma'am.

Darling, do your work.

Turn this.

[Myra sharply] What are you doing?

You know what is pony?

See, pony, it's like this.

Hmmm. And what are you doing?

[Myra] You're working with actors, not with animals.

Myra

are you ready?

No, I am not.

Dialogues are too lengthy and boring too.

It's bullshit.

I cannot work in this situation.

Just pack up!

Myra.

[electrifying music playing]

This girl!

Myra... [echoing]

[sea waves crashing]

Myra

what was that on the set?

Listen...

Myra...

Myra

what's going on?

What do you mean?

Nothing... leave it.

Um hunh... no.

[Annie thinking] What happened to this girl?

Drinking all the time.

Annie you know?

I'm enjoying life.

Everything is good.

My movie is getting ready,

and very soon...

I will be famous and happy.

Good...

I am happy for you.

[gulping]

By the way

did you read the full script?

Not yet.

But I will do it.

Promise.

Hmmm. Good for everyone.

You go.

I will sit here for a while.

Okay, take care.

Bye.

[typing beeps]

Hello, Danny?

Yes, ma'am.

Have you edited the scenes?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay. Please send them to me.

Just sending ma'am.

Bye.

Hello...

Just thinking about you.

Let's meet tonight

at your place.

Oh wow!

Good idea!

Excellent.

Okay. Love you.

Love you.

Ah... wait, wait. Nitesh.

Listen...

I am thinking that

let's go to France for a few days.

But your film?

Nitesh come on, I'm the boss...

I will finish it whenever I want.

Okay, let's talk about it when we will meet.

Okay, boss.

Love you.

Love you too, babes.

Bye.

Bye.

[Danny's scream in background]

[heart-pounding music playing]

[dance music playing]

[Myra screams]

[intense music playing]

Hello, baby.

Where are you?

Just leaving for the shoot.

Last night was fun!

Sorry I had to leave early while you were still sleeping.

You were talking in your dreams last night.

Yaa... nightmares.

Oh, okay.

Are you shooting today?

Yeah, I... I think so.

Okay see you. Bye.

Bye babes.

[Danny] I killed Morani.

What the hell Myra?

You played double?

You turned him against me,

and where is the bloody pistol?

Don't be stupid, Danny.

Whatever I did is best for us.

No...

I killed my best friend.

I killed him.

He's dead.

He's dead.

Danny. Danny, listen to me.

Morani was nobody's friend and you know that.

He would have happily killed you if he had to.

No...

I killed him.

Now, come on. Hurry up.

Let us get out of here.

I'm waiting nearby.

I... killed... him.

Bloody...

I killed him.

[wind blows]

[dramatic music playing]

[gunshot]

[kites screaming]

[Danny's body thuds]

[bang]

[heavy wind blows]

[victorious music playing]

[heavy wind blowing]

[birds chirping]

[pigeon flies]

[bird ambiance]

Who the fuck are you?

Turn around.

What is it?

May I?

Hmm.

Here.

Waiting for what?

Sorry.

Here

sit

count it.

[bang]

[mobile phone ringing]

[bang]

[mobile phone ringing]

Hello?

Hello? Yeah.

This is detective Naag Bhushan.

Remember?

We met earlier.

Yes.

Ms. Myra.

You need to come to the police station again.

But why?

I told you everything whatever I knew.

I know

but

we have found some new evidence,

so we need your help.

Please come down.

Okay uhh

if I will come day after tomorrow,

will it be okay for you?

Because I'm not well.

Okay, fine.

Please don't leave the town now, haan? Without my permission.

Oh, sure, sure.

I'm not going anywhere.

As I told you...

[retching]

Hello?

Hello?

[Detective] Are you okay?

[puking]

[flush water running]

Yeah, it's okay, sir.

I think I've got something wrong in my belly.

Okay.

Take care.

Please call me back after you recover.

[intense music playing]

[film unit murmuring]

[mobile phone ringing]

No.

Hello.

Myra, where are you?

Annie

listen.

I need a break.

Too many things happening around me.

Cancel the shoot or postpone, whatever you feel.

I'm not in a mood.

And for God's sake change this bloody writer.

Dialogue is still fucking too lengthy.

Oof!

[dramatic music playing]

[bang]

[romantic music playing]

[door bell rings]

Who the fuck you think you are? [Door slams]

Are you listening to me Myra?

I am so disappointed,

so sad,

and very angry.

You are not the same Myra whom I knew once,

who had only and only one passion

that is becoming a good actor,

and nothing else.

And now look at you.

Totally wasted you are.

It is so obvious

that you just wanted to become rich and famous,

that's all.

You know what, Myra?

I am canceling the shoot.

[door slams]

[seagull craws]

[adrenaline-pumping music playing]

[marching music playing]

[mobile phone ringing]

Hello Nitesh,

I will call you later, ok? Bye.

[typing beeps]

[mobile phone ringing]

Hello?

Hello. Nitesh?

Can we go somewhere far?

I mean out of the country for some time.

Listen...

I have to tell you something first.

Someone called me in the morning.

Some

detective...

Naag something.

Naag Bhushan?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, correct.

Do you know him?

What was he asking for?

He was generally asking about our relationship.

Like how long we have been together.

I don't understand why police is gathering information about you.

Is everything okay, Myra?

I hope you are not hiding anything from me.

No.

It's nothing.

Listen...

I don't want to interfere in your matters,

but just please keep me out of this.

If the press sniffs anything,

it will be a big problem for me.

Okay don't worry

everything will be okay.

I will call you later.

Okay.

[heartbreaking, sorrowful music playing]

[clicking sound]

[typing beeps]

[mobile pings]

What...?

[mobile phone ringing]

Go.

Ohh... God.

[marching music playing]

[mobile phone ringing]

Sorry, ma'am...

I know it's not my business,

but just asking.

Isn't it too late to go to the waterfall this time?

No, it's ok, mister...

Bhawani Shankar, right?

Yes, ma'am.

May I ask you?

How old are you?

56 running, ma'am,

And I think you have already seen lots of life.

Yes, ma'am.

I think I have seen enough.

So, Mr. Shankar

a time comes in your life

when nothing matters.

Late or early.

Good or bad.

Right or wrong.

You know what I'm trying to say?

Yes, ma'am.

So...

Mr. Shankar,

I'm going to meet my two old friends.

They're lying there

waiting for me to come.

I don't know

if this is the right time,

but one thing I know for sure.

The time has come

to meet them.

Your friends live in the jungle, at the waterfall?

Yes, Mr. Shankar but

it's not as simple as it looks.

So, in short, Mr. Shankar

my strings are pulling me into my past.

Heavy stuff for my mind, ma'am.

Yeah, too much alcohol,

too much philosophy,

[gripping music playing]

Stop there.

-Here? -Yes.

[bird ambiance]

Madam if you want, I can wait.

[bang]

[energetic music playing]

[heavy wind blowing]

[Myra voice over] Death

is much lighter than life.

You fly

fly,

and only fly.

Iron balls of desires and dreams melt away,

and you feel free.

But the irony is

we would choose this life again and again,

even if we end up

making the same mistakes.
