Let go, I want to go home.

Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

Why are you scared?

Please let me go.

You shall clear the path for us.

Please spare me.

You will help us, right?

Mom, dad!

Save me! I want to go home.

May I come in?

Wait.

Driver, where are you going?

The road ahead is under repairs

so we'll take the Vambori route.

But I've to get off at Salbardi.

- Salbardi? - Yes.

Are you on a treasure hunt to Salbardi?

What do you mean by treasure?

There are talks of treasure buried over there.

Real treasure.

Oh no, I'm joining as a new teacher.

- Is it? Then do one thing. - Yes.

Get off at the next stop. Salbardi is close by from there.

Is it walkable?

- Yes. - Okay, stop the bus.

Pull over.

Come, master.

Why did bus stop here?

The village chief will welcome the teacher.

Thank you. I am Ganpat Patil

the village chief.

On behalf of all the villagers

- I welcome you. - Thank you, Mr Patil.

It's a matter of joy

and pride that such an eminent person

has joined as a teacher here.

I request everyone here

to introduce themselves.

I'll go first.

- Hello. - Hello.

I am Mukunda Thorat,

- the deputy... - Chief!

I am impressed, mister!

This is unbelievable!

Demonetisation doesn't affect

a resourceful man like you.

If I had that...

If I had that kind of money.

I would also bribe my way up.

I must say,

chief of Salbardi,

this title truly suits you.

Notice the smell!

I can smell something burning in envy!

- Who's the hero of Salbardi? - Ganpat Patil!

- Who's the hero of Salbardi? - Ganpat Patil!

- Who's the hero of Salbardi? - Ganpat Patil!

Praise the lord.

I am John Chandekar.

In the only church of this village...

Listen up, master,

I am a true blue Marxist.

Please sit. - Hello, master.

Hello.

I am Kanakraj Dhonderaj Taksale.

I come from a long line of jewellers.

There's no match to our craftsmanship

- far and wide. - Agreed.

99% copper and 1% gold!

He's joking, sir. We deal in pure gold.

All right. Who's next?

Your turn, Joshi.

- Me? - Yes. Speak up.

Go on.

Hello,

I am Balu Joshi.

C'mon, play.

Joshi sir, listen.

Not like that. I'll show you.

Do it.

Hello, sir. I am Tukaram Mohite Gurkar.

In simple words,

the sugar in your tea

comes from my factory.

Oh c'mon!

Hello.

I am no stranger here.

Let me introduce myself.

I am the go to person

for entertainment

after a gruelling day.

Tukaram, nicely played.

You're an expert at that.

We could've met at my place to unwind.

It's not like that, Mr Bhandari.

It would be unseemly to treat

a reputed teacher at your local shop.

So, we chose to meet here.

But I must say, sir,

we didn't expect someone like you to hang out with us.

Right, Mukunda?

Agreed, Joshi.

You see,

an educated man like him

agreed to hang out with us.

We should consider ourselves lucky.

Nothing like that.

You see, alcohol is fun.

And friendships made over drinks

last forever.

Correct.

Tukaram,

how's your factory doing?

Just getting by.

This poor man is struggling to keep it afloat.

I don't know what to do.

Come to think of it,

there should be no distinction

- between the rich and poor. - Correct.

You see,

that sounds great in theory

but it's highly impractical.

You're right, sir.

Money keeps the world going.

Why else would people work hard?

Efforts have one goal, money.

To work hard, you need to feast on mutton!

Wow.

Have some, sir.

Done?

This is a Salbardi speciality.

Wow.

Nice.

What other speciality does Salbardi have?

Meaning?

Well,

I've heard

this village

has hidden treasure...

Bloody beggars

spreading baseless rumors.

We've heard it too.

Perhaps there is a treasure.

If we knew the location, we'd dig it out!

I swear, if I find gold...

Tell this oldie...

Hard to digest...

Hey!

Sir,

if there really was a treasure,

it would be found by now.

You're right.

You'll have to shut shop if the treasure is found.

Real treasure is devotion.

- Wow. - What was that?

Real treasure is devotion.

John you..

John, stop being a hypocrite.

You change sides as per convenience.

You're a hypocrite.

You...

Calm down.

'Your eyes will get spoiled watching TV all the time.'

'Get up and fetch your dad.'

Mom, let me finish the serial.

'You idiot...'

Get up or I'll whack you.

Don't, mom. I'll go.

Go.

What the hell!

The father is making merry and the son is a TV addict.

God help me!

- Mr Mohite made great arrangements. - Indeed.

- Dad! - Why did you come here?

Dad, come home. Mom is really angry.

She doesn't understand anything.

I want to watch Manjula sing. Go home.

Dad, come with me. I'm scared of the dark.

I won't go alone.

You're a lion's cub. Don't be a coward.

Go on.

- Dad, please come. - Go before I kick you.

It's not everyday that she sings. Go.

There comes our Manjula.

"A treasure worth lakhs is being protected,"

"while enemies lie in wait to loot it."

"A treasure worth lakhs is being protected,"

"while enemies lie in wait to loot it."

"Don't stay distant for no reason;"

"gently untangle this knot between us."

"Such powerful beauty is like a rare treasure;."

"Some poor soul might lose his heart because of it."

"The queen's enchanting charm, the wildfire of youth?"

"Let it ignite a little in the middle of the night."

"Don't let things stay hidden in the darkness;."

"Come, light a torch with another torch."

"This nervous beating in my heart."

"Won't stop, my dear? I'm crazy with this feeling."

"Manjula..."

"Manjula..."

"Manjula..."

"Oh Manjula... hey!"

"My intensity keeps rising, my style is bold;."

"The wildfire with me is too much for anyone to handle."

"Don't throw sparks, don't get too close."

"Don't just provoke it? Control yourself a little."

"What kind of strange magic this is? No one understands it."

"The path was lost, and meeting again became difficult."

"Even though the heart is tangled and restless."

"An arrow stuck in the chest is hard to bear."

"The enchanting charm of a queen, the wildfire of youth?"

"Let it ignite a little in the middle of the night."

"Don't keep it hidden in the darkness."

"Come, light a torch with another torch."

"This nervous heartbeat in my chest."

"Will not stop, my dear? I'm crazy with this feeling."

"Manjula..."

"Manjula..."

"Manjula..."

"Oh Manjula... hey!"

Let me go.

Let me go.

Mom... I want to go to my mom.

- Listen Babnya... - Let me go.

I'll tell you something funny.

Here...

I'm telling you something.

Below the ground,

- lies hidden treasure. - Let me go.

- No... - But an evil spirit

stands guard.

He said if he gets 8 sacrificial offerings,

he will let go of the treasure.

You're the third offering.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Mom...

Mom...

Mom...

- Let me go. - Accept Babnya as an offering.

- The body appeared out of nowhere. - Whose child is it?

No idea.

The face is destroyed.

- This is our son... - Babnya...

Babnya!

Babnya!

Babnya!

- Babnya! - Babnya!

- Come. - Sir,

don't touch the body.

Chief, we need to file a report.

Nothing doing.

You heard the village chief.

- Babnya... - What are you saying?

This is the third case in three months.

Look, he too drowned like the previous cases.

The face and body are destroyed.

He's right. Let him do his duty.

Let them do whatever they want to do.

- Sir, do what you want to. - Look what happened!

I lost my only son.

Hope this will prevent another child's death.

Babu, do you realise what you're saying?

To investigate, they will tear the body...

Patil, what are you saying?

Why are you bent on stalling investigation?

Let them do their job.

Hey, Mukunda...

Tambe, the deputy chief is telling you

finish up the process quickly.

Don't pay heed to him.

Babnya!

Pimplya, pack funeral items.

Who died?

Baburao's son.

Babnya.

He was found in the lake this morning.

- How? - No idea.

He went missing last night.

Anyway, pack everything needed

for a child's funeral.

He was Baburao's only son.

Yes.

This is terrible.

This is terrible.

Babnya!

Babnya!

Babnya!

Babnya!

What do I do now?

Babnya!

Let me see him one last time.

Babnya!

Babnya!

Babnya!

Babnya!

Bloody hell!

No restraints whatsoever!

Demanding such a huge amount...

- I won't give. - Gondya, give it.

- I won't. - Give it to me.

- Give it... - Hey, keep quiet.

Are you small to play with dolls? Go out and play.

- Get going. - Nirmala!

Don't send the kids inside.

They won't let me work.

Yes, Mukunda.

I can hear you.

What happened?

When?

How old was he?

What was cut?

Everything?

No, listen...

Don't worry.

I'll come tomorrow morning.

Yes, hang up.

Bloody hell!

Dear villagers, in the last few days

terrible things have happened.

It's horrible.

To investigate that

and find a solution, we have gathered here.

The minister will be here soon.

- If you come across anything suspicious, - Greetings, sir.

- Anything you experienced, - Come, sir. - It's okay.

- Tell us. - Hello, sir. Tea?

- Don't ask, just get it. - Come, Lokhande.

Are you just going to offer tea and beverages? - Okay, hereafter.

- Don't you have booze to offer? - We must be careful.

- Take care of each other and our kids. - Don't you want to be the village head?

I do, sir.

- If we stand united, we will find a solution. - With your backing, consider it done.

The minister is here.

- Applause. - Hello, chief.

Hello.

- Come. - It's okay, no formality please.

- Don't do this. - People,

as soon as I heard of this,

I cancelled all my appointments

and came here

given the severity of the situation.

This is not acceptable.

We must be alert.

Come here.

He's our youth leader.

I have explained everything to him.

He will look into this matter and solve it.

Don't worry at all and you..

- Sir! - Hello.

- How's the school doing? - All good.

I mean, along with the school,

you manage a small credit society too.

So I thought of checking on you.

Like Saint Tukaram said,

the teacher that teacher

is your master.

Right?

You have no reason to worry.

Co operate with your youth leader.

- I'll take your leave. - Let's go.

- Bye, sir. - Wait.

- Youth leader. - Applause.

- See you, chief. - Okay, sir.

- Mukunda is getting recognition. - Yes.

The minister appointed him.

Did Saint Tukaram really say that?

'To be ruled by vices'

'invites widespread mockery'

That's what he said.

Mukunda,

what's happening in the village?

What do I say, sir?

The villagers are petrified.

Sadly the policemen

are good for nothing.

Then you get to work.

- Meaning? - Create a stir.

Question the police.

There should be an uproar

that reaches the ministry.

Only if that happens,

I'll become the home minister

and you'll replace the old chief!

Future chief, Mukund Thorat. Please don't.

- Time to work, not seek blessings. - This way.

Sir, this is my friend Devle Patil.

- Get the plates ready. - He's interested in joining the party.

Hello.

Sir, please have.

Sir, it's a special treat for you.

Sir, I need to speak to you.

I know that, Mohite.

I'm sure you didn't come just to eat!

You always come with business on mind.

Tell me.

Sir, I got you 20 lambs

and 40 chicken

and 50 kids!

Sir, there's a village called Salbardi.

That's where I got all this from.

Sir, in that village

- little... - Sir, I chopped little chicken

marinated it

and cooked it in a wok

for all of you.

Sir, the village

is clouded with fear.

No, Mohite, tell me clearly.

Sir,

it's a case of child slaughter.

You...

- Are you aware of this? - Sir, we received a report

and the local police is on the case.

Sir,

little kids are being tortured.

Sir, I don't torture little kids.

We love them.

What's the solution, Mohite?

I think Mr Kamat should

appoint a special officer for this.

He caught my truck ferrying little buffaloes...

To hell with your buffaloes!

Kamat,

do something. This is very serious.

Appoint an able officer at the soonest.

- Kamat, get to work. - Yes, sir.

Salbardi deserves justice.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

Down with dictatorship.

Down with dictatorship.

Repeat after me. We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

Down with dictatorship.

Down with dictatorship.

Master, say it loudly.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

It will not be tolerated, it will not be tolerated

dictatorship will not be tolerated.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

We want justice.

We want justice.

Jai Hind, madam.

Inspector Tambe reporting.

Jai Hind.

What's going on?

I'll fill you in, madam. Please come.

Okay.

Salbardi wants justice.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

Down with dictatorship.

Pick this all up and take the inside stuff out.

Take this box.

Carefully. TV is inside.

- Also, take all other inside stuff. - Okay, sir.

Hold on.

Be careful.

Have you checked all the papers?

- Yes, madam. - Wonderful.

- Go ahead, I'll join you soon. - Okay.

- Rishabh, don't run around. - Wait a minute.

Which box is this?

Keep it in the bedroom.

Madam, where do I keep this box? It says kitchen.

- Obviously in the kitchen! - Hello..

- Look into it. - Hello, madam.

Yes.

I am Yesubai.

Yes, Lokhande mentioned you.

Please come.

- No, thanks. - Look,

he's Rishabh, a naughty fellow.

I won't be home all day

so you need to watch over

- the house and Rishabh. - Okay.

Is he an only child?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Mom, let's go home.

You behave like this

so I keep you tied up.

You never let me work.

Wait, you keep him tied?

Yes, madam. He's a hand full.

He just doesn't let me work. He's my only son

so I keep him safe.

Rishabh, say hi.

Hi.

I am Rishabh Manorama Pradhan. You are?

I am Kanha.

- Let's play cricket. - Okay.

Be careful.

All he wants to do is play.

That's why I tie him up.

Now you have to look after both of them.

Keep that inside.

Madam, didn't sir come with you?

Sir who?

I mean Rishabh's father.

He doesn't seem to be around.

He's not there.

What does your husband do?

He left me when I was pregnant.

In my case, I asked my husband to leave.

I'm a single mother.

Meaning?

It's exactly the way you're raising Kanha.

Let me explain your duties.

Tell me, how may I help?

Sir, I found my buffalo.

Is it? Wow.

Celebrate by distributing sweets.

Sir, I found his corpse in the jungle

totally rotten.

- Sell it off! - Oh c'mon, sir.

Last time my goat and pig were found beheaded.

Don't chew my brains early in the morning.

Kids are turning up dead decapitated

and you're crying about animals!

Go away.

Madam, here's a list of

kids who died in the past one year.

List? What list?

What's that for?

- Kanha. - What?

- I'll show you something. - Okay.

Look.

Sirixa, what was the match score yesterday?

'India won yesterday's match by 9 runs against Australia.'

Wow, this is amazing.

Play some songs.

It doesn't work like that.

Sirixa, play a song.

Hey brother, where is the police station around here?

To hell with the police.

Do you all go or not?

- This drunkard has gone crazy. - I'll throw a stone if you don't leave.

- This drunkard has gone crazy. - I'll throw a stone if you don't leave.

The police is looking for me.

Police station!

Go away, scoundrel.

Madam, most kids died due to different reasons

while four kids drowned.

Here are three of them.

Babanrao Baburao Bansode aka Babnya,

Alamgir Ashfaq Abne aka Almya

and that's the first victim.

Manohar Ganpat Kamble aka Manya.

He's the first kids that was eaten by fish.

What now?

- Coming? - No!

I'm sure these case are connected, Lokhande.

The first boy Manohar..

Let's meet his parents.

Tambe, Manohar is...

That's Manohar Ganpat Kamble.

Ganya's son.

He drowned to his death.

His body was eaten up by fish.

No point meeting Ganya.

He's always drunk and abuses the police.

Bloody drunk!

Will you dictate the course of the investigation?

Get the car, Tambe.

- Shinde, get the car. - Yes, sir.

Let's go, Lokhande.

1,2,3,4

1,2,3,4

1,2,3,4

1,2,3,4

1,2,3,4

1,2,3,4

Ganya!

Where are you going? We came to meet you.

Just go back

or I'll smash the wind-shield

and break your head.

Madam has joined recently.

She wants to talk to you urgently.

Let's go inside.

Don't tell me about your madam.

I told you, just leave.

Tambe!

Now you remembered me, bloody dog?

I won't let anyone like you enter my house.

- Hey! - Hey! - Ganpatrao!

A word?

May I come in?

I'm telling you

the commotion at the liquor den

wasn't my fault.

No, we're here about your son's death.

So you agree he was killed!

I told you so

but nobody paid heed.

I told him

the day you realise

it will be too late.

Ganpatrao, tell me everything in detail.

I will listen

to you.

Go on.

Madam,

I begged him endlessly.

I told him

my son couldn't have drowned.

Since 3 years of age,

I taught him to swim.

We used to swim in the lake.

Madam, he used to kick swiftly

and swim like a fish.

He was my only son, madam.

I loved him dearly.

Somebody killed him, madam.

He was a motherless child. I raised him.

He died because of me!

Have some.

My son must be waiting at home.

- No thanks. - It's fine, you drink every day.

Have some.

Dad?

Uncle, have you seen my dad?

No, check ahead.

- That's it. - Just a little.

Go on.

Granny, did you see my dad?

You drink.

Come.

Uncle?

Yes?

- Did you see my dad? - He went that way.

Dad!

Dad?

I killed him.

I killed him!

If I hadn't drunk that day

my son would be alive today.

"The dormant night fell asleep."

"The wick went off suddenly."

"Come, rest for a while in the deep embrace of the night."

"Like a little fawn, come here for a moment?"

"Sleep a little, rest here, my brave one."

"I have tied a swing of moonlight for you."

"And given you the moon's glow as a blanket."

"Take the boat of sleep and go to the village across."

"Where there are no troubles, no crying pains."

"No sign of worries there."

"No footsteps of sorrow are heard."

"Sleep now, my king... sleep, my child."

"Why is this night so restless and scattered?"

"Why is this foolish heart unable to shed its skin."

"That crazy one has climbed and sat in the sky."

"Now she's stuck there, unable to come down."

"Tired and fading, the night has turned dark."

"And my dreams have no one to care for them."

"So why this needless restlessness?"

"Sleep now..."

"Close your eyes, my child."

"There is no wakefulness on the forehead of this night;."

"Don't rush to chase the dawn yet."

"The path ahead is hard to see?"

"Perhaps covered with thick fog."

"There are no troubles there, No crying or aching feelings."

"No noise, no proof of worries there."

"No concern and no revenge either."

"Sleep now, my king... sleep, my child."

I have some questions about Alam.

Yes, madam.

Can you tell me

how and when this happened?

Madam, my son vanished right before my eyes.

Had I known, madam...

He went to play.

Said he'd be back in half hour.

But he never came back, madam.

Lokhande,

all three kids were killed

in a span of three months.

Yes, madam.

This boy was found in the lake in January.

Let's focus on these three for now.

We might find a common link

in these three cases.

Madam, we've already done that.

All you do is talk, Tambe.

What about your goof up?

Without basic investigation

you made assumptions

and closed the case!

Madam, I see a connection here.

Look.

Manohar, Alamgir and the last victim was Babnya,

right?

They were found in near by spots of the same lake.

So their bodies were tossed from the spot.

Yes.

Lokhande, all three had similar injuries.

Exactly same.

That means they were killed by the same person.

Correct.

But I have one question, madam.

What's with the injuries on the chest

and private parts?

Based on the similar pattern,

I think this is about superstition.

You mean kids offered as human sacrifice?

Tambe?

Did you call?

- Yes, madam. - And the village chief?

I called him, he'll be here soon.

- Here he is. - Wonder why she called me.

- Hello. - Hello.

I have some questions.

Go on, you can trust them.

In neighbouring areas of this village,

is there any sorcerer?

Are you into black magic, madam?

I don't understand, madam.

Nothing much.

Investigation has revealed that

the children's deaths

weren't accidental but related to superstition.

Superstition?

Madam, think before you speak.

Look,

nobody in this village does black magic.

- There is one... - Mister!

Don't talk rubbish.

Our village has nothing to with superstition.

Madam, people in this village are educated.

Reputed businessmen live here.

One of our people went abroad too.

Yes. The new teacher

is a reformer.

How can you accuse us of superstition?

- What happens if word spreads? - It's obvious.

If this rumour gets around,

girls will refuse our marriage proposals.

- Yes. - Not just that,

our men won't get jobs.

People won't buy from us.

We'll die of starvation.

All right,

see you later.

Bye.

Bye.

- There's one guy... - Who?

He does black magic.

Hey Deepya,

- is the news true? - What news?

I've heard kids are abducted for black magic.

I don't think so.

Kids never listen.

They bathe in the lake.

I'm sure the fish ate them.

- For real? - Let's buy goat meat.

Poor kids!

Sending the kids to school seems scary.

I personally pick and drop

my kid to school. Better to be cautious.

Enough with the munchies.

Time to eat.

Buddy, get my dinner.

- Get me three poli.. - Yes, sir.

Hey, get the alcohol.

Right away.

Who eats puran poli with alcohol?

That's his choice. What's your problem?

Then order milk too

- to dip it in. - Why not?

Hold on.

What's going on?

Did I order puran poli?

I said poli.

You're ageing, don't drink too much.

For us,

poli means puran poli.

What we have every day

is called chapati.

- Listen bro, we call it poli. - Correct.

Chapati is a Hindi word.

Chapati is a Marathi word.

Parotha, Paratha

are Hindi words.

Bravo.

We call it chapati.

- No, buddy, call it poli. - It's chapati.

Puran poli is a Maharashtrian dish.

So, poli is fine.

What do you mean? Am I an outsider?

Only you are true blue Maharashtrians?

You fool...

- What did he say? - Wait...

Think what you will.

- Don't provoke me... - Don't do that.

Guess you're high.

Not really.

Sir is here.

Doesn't poli sound better?

Are you done?

Not yet.

A little more.

Whether it's poli or chapati,

that's irrelevant.

Do you not care about the

bad reputation this village is earning?

Do you want to keep quarrelling over silly things?

You're in a mood to lecture!

Laugh all you want.

If responsible villagers behave like this

god help this village!

Deputy chief,

you made tall claims to the cop this morning.

This village steers clear from superstition!

What now?

Are you wait for the papers to announce it?

You're right, sir.

You're right.

You guys carried out protests.

What came of it?

Chandekar,

you're a true blue comrade, right?

Yes, a Marxist.

- Was it in the past? - I still am.

Beware of Mohite.

Once he's promoted, he'll kick you out of the way

before you know it.

What will you do then?

Mukunda?

What did he ask you to do?

What are we doing?

Look at the state of our village.

What is troubling the villagers?

Instead of solving that

you're busy drinking

and discussing food items.

You're right, sir.

What else can we do but discuss?

- Yes. - Please do.

All you can do is discuss.

Our village is accused of superstition.

I will fight alone to get that blemish cleared

even if I have to shut the school.

I don't need you.

Just gather here daily and drink.

You chose me as the head

of the credit society.

I am grateful.

But at the same time.

I feel I have an additional duty.

If this Salbardi village's

reputation is besmirched,

then Kotkar teacher will personally wipe it off.

If cops from elsewhere dare to demean us,

all I have to say is

we also know the law.

Down with police tyranny.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Down with police tyranny.

Down with police tyranny.

I would like to tell you

officers from outside the village

dare to come to our village

and accuse us.

Your beloved deputy chief will not let them succeed.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Down with police tyranny.

Down with police tyranny.

Salbardi deserves justice.

We want justice. Salbardi wants justice.

- Wait. - Balu,

you help the teacher

- and we'll manage here. - Right.

- Will do. - Let's go.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Down with police tyranny.

Down with police tyranny.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Down with dictatorship.

Down with dictatorship.

Down with dictatorship.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Down with police tyranny.

Salbardi deserves justice.

Are you done?

Sonu?

Are you copying?

Do that again,

and I'll skin you alive.

Sorry, sir.

Write what you know.

Uncle, bye.

Hello, Kanakraj. Minting money, are you?

Bought a new shop.

All thanks to you, Mr Bhandari.

I couldn't have done it without your support.

It's god's blessings.

Listen... Where is Sonu?

Sonu? Hasn't he returned from school yet?

He hasn't returned that's why I came here.

He's not back yet?

But I saw him on his way home.

Wait, he must be playing.

I'll check.

What do you think? Didn't I check?

Did you check with his friends?

I did.

Don't waste time.

Let's go to the police.

Police station?

Don't think.

- Let's go to the police station. - Come.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Sir, my son comes home

like a good boy every day.

What time does he return from school?

The school left at 4.

It's only 8 o'clock.

Listen,

go home and wait for him.

He'll be home. Must be playing around.

Madam, at this hour?

What happened? Who are they?

Madam, I'm Kanakraj Taksale.

My son Sonu left from school this afternoon

but he hasn't returned home.

- Did you file a report? - No, madam.

He refused to write a complaint.

- Tambe? - Madam... - Anyway,

Komal madam get a photo of their son

and inform all neighbouring stations.

Okay, madam.

Ma'am, go home with her.

Madam, please find my son.

Don't worry.

We'll look for him right away.

Where was he last seen?

He hasn't returned since school left.

Let's start with the school.

C'mon, quick.

Go straight, sir.

- Here? - Yes, turn left.

Turn left.

Hurry up, Tambe.

- Is that the teacher? - Yes.

Stop.

- Madam, what brings you here? - Kanakraj?

Sir, Sonu hasn't returned home yet.

Sir, what time did he leave from school?

He finished the paper at 4.

What happened?

He hasn't returned yet.

Does he have a friend?

Yes, Vinay is his classmate.

He lives close by.

They go home together.

- I'll show you. - Get in.

Let's go, Tambe.

- Kanakraj, did you call your relatives? - I did.

- No update. - No, madam.

He didn't return home.

Okay.

Madam, he went towards the market.

Market?

Market?

That means he passed by shop around 5-6 pm.

Great, let's go.

Madam, why go there?

I think

he went towards the church.

- Let's check the church. - Sir, come.

Car...

I see a car, Mukunda.

Who are they?

- Madam.. - Stop, Tambe.

Let's ask them.

Ask them.

Throw it.

Hello, where are you going this late?

What happened, Kanya?

Mukunda,

Sonu is missing.

What?

What happened?

- Sonu is missing. - Wow!

What are you doing here?

Go check with village chief.

You consult him for everything.

He's knowledgeable, we are not!

Go ask him.

That's not true...

- Why seek Mukunda's help? - Mukunda,

is this the time to argue?

Balu, he came to you for tuition this morning.

Sonu? No.

He had exams this week.

He didn't come to class.

Madam, what happened?

I'm sure Balu did something.

Shut up, John...

Stop it. Not another word.

Kanakraj's son Sonu is missing.

We got to know he came towards the church.

Yes, madam.

He bowed to the church and left.

What were you doing there?

We distribute rice bag to the villagers.

I was overseeing that, madam.

You see, he's a very good boy.

He often stops by to chat with me.

But today he was distracted.

He went alone humming.

At what time?

At 6 pm.

6 pm?

Which way did he go?

Towards the market, madam.

- Market? - Yes.

Tambe, that route goes to the lake, right?

Yes, madam.

Oh no!

Kanakraj, calm down.

- Let's head to the lake. - Yes.

- Let's go. - Come.

Sir, come here.

Let's go.

Stop.

- Who's he? - That's Pimplya.

Pimplya!

Madam has something to say.

Hello.

- Are you always here? - Yes.

He waits here

for skulls to blast.

Once that happens, I go home.

What's the matter?

Did you see anyone going towards the lake?

Yes.

Pimplya,

was it a small boy?

Boy...

Speak up.

No, Bhosle came in the morning then some women

came to wash clothes.

No, I didn't see any boy.

Did you see anyone after 4 pm?

After 4 pm...

Speak up.

I was at the shop.

No, madam.

- Tambe, head to the lake. - Yes, madam.

Let's go.

Sonu!

Sonu!

Sonu!

- Sonu! - Tambe? Lokhande?

- Coming. - Go ahead and check.

Sonu!

Sonu!

Sonu!

Did you check there?

Sonu!

Sonu!

Sonu!

Sonu!

Sonu!

My son!

Sonu!

Where are you?

Hello?

Madam.

Yes.

Sonu!

What happened to Sonu?

No, god!

Sonu!

Look at our son!

Sonu!

Madam, look at Sonu.

What happened to my son!

Madam,

what about his face and injuries?

Seeing the way he was hanged on the tree,

it's not a one man job.

Sonu...

They're telling us

they're not scared of doing such things.

The village chief

came so late!

This is horrible.

I'm too shocked to think.

He was Kanakraj's only son.

Can you guess the height?

Around 15-20 feet, madam.

We can't stay quiet any more.

If we don't pressurise the cops,

- they won't give results. - Yes, right.

Is there any eyewitness?

- I want the forensic reports right away. - Yes, madam.

Down with police tyranny.

Down with police tyranny.

- Shut this. - Shut the shop.

Do it now.

Down with police tyranny.

- Down with police tyranny. - Alas! Alas!

- Down with police tyranny. - Alas! Alas!

Hello.

- We want justice. - Salbardi Police Station.

Salbardi wants justice.

- Make way. - Make way.

Move aside.

Back off.

Get out of the way.

Go back.

Move aside.

Move.

Go straight.

Move aside.

Stop right there.

Salbardi wants justice.

This way.

- Sir, what's your opinion in this matter? - Sir. Sir. Sir.

How long will this continue?

Why isn't the police successful yet?

- One at a time. - Sir, tell!

How many more kids will have to die for the government to act?

- Look... - How can you assure people's safety?

- Look, this is why he has come here. - What's your next step?

- I'll tell you everything. - Sir, the opposition is questioning you.

The villagers have lost faith in the police.

What's your opinion, sir?

He will answer you...

- Sir, speak to us. - Yes, come.

- Sir... - Sit.

What's going on, Jhunjhar?

It's all good, sir.

I mean by god's grace my constituency is doing well.

Jhunjhar,

I meant Salbardi.

Why haven't the killings stopped?

The investigation is underway.

- He will tell you. - Yes, sir.

- Tell them, sir. - The investigation is underway

and the local police is on the case.

- Yes. - Kamat,

what do I tell my seniors?

The media is already giving me a tough time.

This is for both of you.

- I want no hassles. - No, sir...

Don't worry at all.

We're following the procedure.

Nothing doing.

You both will go to Salbardi

and shake things up.

- Do what it takes. - Okay.

But I want results.

Or I'll lose my chair.

If that happens,

I will drag you down with me.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

Leave.

Jai Hind, sir.

- Sir, - Yes.

This is the 4th child Sonu.

He was found hanging by a tree.

The others were found in a lake.

Okay, what about the forensic report?

Actually, except the first boy Manohar,

we have forensic reports of the rest.

All the bodies

had similar injuries.

Also, there was a wound

on each victim's head

which probable

caused their deaths.

When you have such clarity

why haven't you made arrests?

Pradhan, 4 murders in 4 months.

I am answerable to higher authorities.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

- Sir. - Yes?

One more thing.

Tell me.

When we saw the injuries

we realised

this could be related to superstition.

Superstition?

Are you absolutely sure, Pradhan?

Definitely, sir.

There's a pattern to the injuries.

Do the villagers know?

Sir, we told

the chief and other villagers

in the hope they'd help with the investigation.

Moving away from the issue,

they misinterpreted what we said

and they began protesting against us!

So, who are the suspects?

We're working on it, sir.

We have a list ready.

Madam?

- Madam? - Yes?

What?

Have you eaten?

Yes.

May I ask something?

Are you well?

You didn't eat properly.

So I came to check.

I'm under great pressure.

I don't know

how to solve this case.

I've never seen you so stressed.

Everything will work out.

There has been a murder after I joined.

And these people won't stop protesting!

It's such a waste of time.

I am also worried.

Madam,

I have something to say.

Can you grant me two days of leave?

What for?

There's a fair on Ashwin Purnima.

There's a temple on the other side of the village.

I made a vow to god for my child.

I haven't fulfilled that vow.

I better do it now.

I am scared.

I better finish this task.

Wait, what did you say?

Nothing, I'll go next year.

No, which day?

There's a fair on Ashwin purnima in three days.

- I'd like to visit. - Ashwin purnima.

Madam?

Yes, you may go.

Okay.

Madam, you asked for a Hindu calendar.

- Here it is. - Very good.

Here you go, madam.

This year's calendar.

Okay.

Lokhande, Tambe,

let's start with the first case.

Yes, madam.

Open June month.

Okay madam. June.

When was the first victim Manohar found?

He was found on 18th June, Tambe.

Yes, madam.

Manohar was found on 18th June.

The second boy Alamgir

was found on 17th July.

The third boy Babnya

was found on 16th August

and Sonu

was found on 14th September, right?

Yes, madam. Right.

They were found on these dates.

That means

they died one day prior.

Right?

Look at it this way.

If the body was found on 18th June,

what was the celestial position

one day prior in the panchang?

Madam, one day prior

16th June Jeshtha Purnima.

Check the dates for the second and third victim.

Madam, it was purnima again.

So, Son too...

That means Sonu was killed

on Bhadrapad Purnima.

There's one more thing I observed.

They were all 8 year old, only sons.

Does that mean the kids were deliberately on full moon?

It wasn't just murder, Tambe.

On each purnima

those beasts are offering kids as sacrifice!

When we told the villagers about this,

the perpetrators

were alerted and that's why

they didn't throw Sonu in the lake

but hanged him from a tree

to confuse us.

Madam,

does that mean on the next purnima...

I'm sure they have a plan.

Madam, the purnima is just a few days away.

We need to set up a trap.

But the problem is

there's a fair on that very day.

Hundreds of people will visit from all over.

The entire police team will be busy.

Then who will watch out for them?

No, Lokhande.

This is actually a huge opportunity.

And we can't lose

this opportunity.

We have to nab them at any cost.

Yes.

Rishabh, come.

Careful.

- Madam, - Yes?

- May I leave? - Yes.

Yesubai?

Be careful.

Bye.

- Say bye. - Bye.

Can I leave Rishabh here for 2 days?

Sure.

Actually, there's a fair coming up

and Yesubai is on leave.

Will do. No problem.

- Will you stay here? - Yes.

Go on.

Come, child.

- Vanita, - Yes.

Things are tense around here.

Yes.

Just be alert.

Sure.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bye.

Let's go in.

On behalf of Salbardi village

we welcome all the devotees visiting the fair.

We must be extremely alert today.

- Yes, madam. - Taking advantage of the crowd

these people kidnap kids.

Tambe, ask your team to keep watch on 7-8 year old kids.

No child should be away from their parents.

- Am I clear? - Yes, madam.

- Spot anyone suspicious, report to me. - Yes, madam.

Lokhande, get your team

- and keep watch on dimly lit areas. - Yes, madam.

I repeat, spot anyone suspicious, inform me.

- Yes, madam. - Yes, madam.

Clear?

C'mon, move. Quick.

- Let's go. - Be home before dark

and don't go towards the fair.

- The place is crowded. - Bye.

What?

Huh?

Why?

We can't wait another four months

to make four sacrificial offering.

The police is looking for us.

What do we do?

I'll tell the evil spirit

he'll get what he wants today.

Let's do this.

Go quickly

and get 4 kids.

We'll chop their limbs and show it to the moon.

Thus, the evil spirit

will let go of the treasure.

Yes.

Go, get the kids safely.

Get going.

Go. Be careful.

How did it go to the right?

Send it here.

Make way.

You go there.

Stand here.

Keep watch on the kids.

Yes, all of them.

Little boy...

What are you doing?

Watch your kids.

Keep your children close.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm managing the fair.

I can't hear you.

Hello.

Hello, Vanita?

Rahul and Rishabh haven't come yet. They had gone to play.

They must be playing nearby.

Hello.

- Get help right away. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hurry up.

- Vanita? - I'll inform madam.

Yes, send it.

- Yes I'll send it. - Yes, yes.

Hello?

I'll call you back.

- Madam, the wall of that manor collapsed. - Wall of the manor?

Yes.

All right. Send a constable at that spot if any at our post.

Madam, there were small children playing there.

I'll go check, you stay here, Tambe.

They have been admitted to the hospital.

It's a serious case, madam.

Rishabh!

Move away.

Kanha!

Kanha!

Don't worry, I'm here.

Rishabh!

Rahul,

where is Rishabh?

- He didn't come with us, aunty. - He didn't?

He went in the other direction.

- Do you know where he went? - No.

Careful.

- Please keep watch. - Yes.

'Let us go to the fair.'

'Kanha is there too.'

'Mom, I want to go the fair.'

- Be strong. I've to find Rishabh. - Okay.

Madam, we looked everywhere.

There's no sign of Rishabh.

He's not in the hospital either.

- What? - And.

- Kanha is missing too. - What?

We found a child in the maze.

Come. Let's go.

Oh dear!

Oh dear.

Oh dear!

Oh dear.

Just one?

We need 4 kids.

You know that, right?

You must go back.

Go soon, come soon.

Get going.

Okay?

Three kids, don't forget.

Now I'm sorted.

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

Oh my my!

You okay, child?

I'll be back. Don't be scared.

Oh dear.

Treasure!

Rishabh!

Rishabh!

Put him down.

Rishabh! Rishabh!

Are you all right?

- Yes. - Are you hurt?

Rishabh!

My baby.

Don't worry, madam.

My son is naughty.

He must be somewhere around.

Yesubai,

let's go find Kanha.

Come. Let's go.

No...

- Where are our people? - They left.

Why?

Mr Patil, I have a request.

Yes.

Yesubai's son Kanha is missing from the fair.

We need your help.

Sure.

I'll make an announcement.

Please.

- Sagar, come here. - Yes.

Don't cry, Yesu.

- Yesubai's son is missing. - Yesu.

We'll find Kanha.

Ask them to make an announcement. Go.

- I'll do that. - Right away.

Actually,

we are short on man power.

Everyone is busy patrolling so...

It's okay, madam.

I'm the chief of this village.

It's my duty to help

even those who act out of order.

Thank you.

Let's go.

- What are you waiting for? - Attention everyone.

The fair is overcrowded.

A little boy named Kanha

has gone missing.

If you find him

please report to the police.

Wonder who cursed this village.

- I'm fed up. - Agreed.

What's the matter, Mr Patil?

You know Kanha.

Kanha who?

- Yesubai's son. - I see.

He's not to be found.

We must help the police.

Yes.

- Let's go. - Yes. - The crowd is increasing.

- Please keep your kids safe. - Did you see?

- Keep your purses and ornaments safe. - Hey.

- Let's check the trampoline. - Look there.

- Beware of thieves. - Check on the other side too.

Search here.

Drinking water is available behind the temple.

Saw him?

Did you see him?

Found him?

Don't make haste.

- That way. - Check here.

Go that way.

He's not here.

Who's that in yellow shirt?

- Check there. - Don't just stand there.

- This one? - No, this is Kanta's son.

Come.

Go on, play.

What happened there?

Be watch. That place is dark.

Kids are playing there.

- That way... - Be alert.

Check the Ferris Wheel.

All devotees are requested to take blessings.

The Gondhal program at the temple will begin shortly.

Glory be to Goddess Amba.

- What happened? - Just wasting time.

Let us go inside.

How long do we wait?

Are we going to see our own child, or will you see him?

- Yes, tell us. - Let us go inside.

Let us speak to the boy.

- Leave it. Leave it. Leave it. - Why hold a child inside?

Kanha, I have some more questions.

How long will she keep him?

- Tambe, take a look. - Have patience.

Don't we care about our child? What does that mean?

- This is not done. - What happened?

They won't let us in. Wonder what they're doing with the kid.

- Call him out. - Yes.

- Do that. - Sir is here.

- Say something, sir. - The sir has come.

- What's this fuss about? - Yes, what...

Let us go inside.

Nobody is allowed inside.

- You can't do that. - The boy is from our village.

We aren't listening.

Whatever happened yesterday,

where it happened, the people you saw...

- Can you tell me everything in detail? - Yes.

Do you recall where they took you?

I don't know where they took me

but it was a huge house like a fort.

It was pitch dark.

I wasn't alone there.

Who else was there?

There were three people

and one more man.

Okay, tell me,

those people who were with you..

What kind of clothes were they wearing?

It was a long maxi,

flowy gown.

And the demon

- looked really weird. - Demon?

What do you mean by weird?

His face had a child face's sewn on it!

- A child's face as sewn on it? - Yes.

Fine, what else do you recall?

They had long white beard

like hermits.

- Like that. - Long beard?

- Yes. - Okay.

Tell me about the clothes they wore.

They wore black long gowns.

Have you seen that attire

on anyone in the village?

No, I haven't seen anyone

but last year

someone wore it at the fair.

Last year at the fair?

Madam, last year we held a cultural program me at the fair.

Tambe, get the laptop.

- Look at this photo. - No.

- No? - No.

This?

No.

- This? - No.

This one, same clothes and beard.

This costume in this village...

- That's Rankasur, madam. - Rankasur.

- They... - It's common in Kokan.

Yes, during Shimga.

Which of the villagers is from Kokan?

Parab brothers.

Sawant and Chiplunkar sir.

Bring them in for questioning.

What about you, Sawant?

Madam,

I was headed to Kokan to visit the temple.

Your people brought me here.

Tell me.

Madam, I went to town for marriage.

- You? - Madam,

- I was the match maker. - For who?

Him! The bride lives in town.

Yes.

Should I call Jhunjhar?

Okay.

- Yes. - Tambe,

how long will you question that boy?

Let him go.

Joshi,

- you're from Kokan, right? - Yes.

You're acting too smart.

Not really.

Is it? Come in.

Listen...

- Hey! - Listen...

- Tambe! - But...

What is it?

Where were you that night?

Me? I was at the fair.

Is that even a question?

- At the fair? - Yes.

Then why you vanished?

I didn't vanish.

Mukundrao! I was playing music.

- Say something. - Yes.

He was with us.

- Yes. - Why?

Oh God.

Then how did you manage to escape from there?

Did you get the kids?

Tie them up properly.

I'm meditating.

Be right back.

Very good.

Do you recall anything else?

No.

- Sure? - Yes.

Okay, go.

Wait, the demon

had a stick.

What kind?

When he'd walk,

the stick would make jingling sound.

The stick

had a demon's face.

Demon's face on the stick?

- Yes. - Jingling sound?

I see.

- Fine, I'll check. - Okay.

Thank you.

Madam, Kanha mentioned a stick.

I've seen it somewhere, madam.

Where, Tambe?

I can't remember.

I surely saw it somewhere.

We went looking for something

what was it...

I remember now, madam.

We went to the crematorium.

I heard the sound

that Kanha mentioned.

Who? Pimplya?

Yes, Pimplya.

His stick

makes the sound Kanha mentioned.

He lives in the crematorium.

- I'll whack him and bring him here. - No, Tambe.

Not yet.

I want every little detail on him.

His whereabouts

where he came from and things he did...

I want his complete record.

Madam, what about the three people.

Kanha mentioned?

Lokhande, we have very little time.

Yes.

We have a lead.

Let's follow that.

Until then I'll check

if Kanha can give more details.

Get Pimplya's details, quick.

I don't think you'll find anything on him.

Give it a try.

I'll take a break.

Yes, madam.

- Zoom in on that photo. - This one?

Madam, I got the information.

What is it?

Very good, Lokhande.

Do one thing.

Call the investigating officer

and get all details of this case.

What about Pimplya?

To get Pimplya to confess

we must play a game.

Why did you call me?

Did I make a mistake?

Pimplya!

Don't be scared.

Madam called you casually.

Some people from Kokan were also called.

She asked some questions and let them go.

She'll do the same with you.

Let's go.

Okay.

- Sit. - Hello.

Hello.

Why have you called me here?

Take a guess.

Don't you know why you're here, idiot?

- Why? - Pimplya,

answer the questions honestly.

Just say what you did.

You'll be fine.

You're always at the crematorium.

Yes, madam. That's where my shop is.

Pimplya, just answer

what you're asked.

Talk too much and I'll break your bones.

Why get so angry?

Why do you kidnap kids?

Kids?

Which kids?

Madam, he won't speak up.

Let me give him special treatment.

Tell me.

What do you want to know, madam?

Who are your aides?

With me?

I run the shop alone as you know.

Bloody hell!

You're asking questions back to us.

Madam asked about the kids

and you're talking about the shop!

- It's true. - Don't speak in riddles.

Be honest.

Madam, I'm telling the truth.

I didn't kidnap any child.

I swear on my child,

I didn't kidnap or kill any child.

But I didn't mention killing them!

Huh?

Bloody rascal!

No... I didn't do anything.

- You... Why did you kill the kids? - I'm nothing..

Why?

Who are you aides?

Who else is part of this?

Why did you kill the kids?

Speak up.

I didn't kill anyone.

You won't relent, rascal.

- Who was with you? - No, let go...

- Why do you kill kids? - No.

- Speak up. - Leave me. - Tambe.

Madam, I don't think he will confess easily.

We'll have to

trap him mentally.

I'm on it, Lokhande.

He believes in sorcery.

Yes.

So, we'll take that route.

That route?

I asked you to get me something.

- Yes, madam. - Get it.

Hey.

The police arrested Pimplya.

- What? - If he reveals our names.

- Yes. - We'll be done for.

We'll lose the treasure too.

No way.

Let's make the sacrifice today.

We'll take the treasure and leave for good.

We don't have much time.

Go and get 4 kids somehow.

We must act now.

- Get going. - What are you saying?

Finding a 8 year old only son is not easy.

Let's bring any kid we find.

- Get going. - Yes.

Get 4 kids at any cost.

I'm asking you for the last time.

What did you do,

how you did it and with who?

Tell me honestly.

I didn't do anything, madam.

Lokhande!

Look at this.

It has all your details.

She will tell me

everything about you.

Who is she?

What's your name?

Pimplya.

Sirixa,

what is Pimplya's real name?

Madam, what are you doing?

Magic.

'The actual name of Pimplya is Damu Shinde.'

How?

You killed Sonu, right?

Where were you on the night of the fair?

- I was in the crematorium, madam. - Sirixa,

when was Damu Shinde born?

'Damu Shinde was born in 1980 at Bhugaav.'

Revealing my personal details

doesn't make me a criminal.

Sirixa,

which crematorium did Damu Shinde work in before?

'Damu Shinde used to work at crematory at Barshi Taluka.'

Sirixa, why did Damu Shinde come to Salbardi

from Barshi.

'Damu Shinde under accusation of stealing skulls

was driven out of Barshi Taluka and then he started residing in Salbardi village.'

Sirixa, what did Damu Shinde do in Salbardi?

- Tell me now. - Madam...

Who's this evil spirit?

Tell me what you did.

- I didn't do anything. She's lying. - Tell me.

- Who's that spirit? - Just answer me.

- She's lying. - Then you tell the truth.

- I didn't... - You're being honest.

- Tell me what you did. - I didn't do anything, madam.

Tell the truth.

Tell the spirit, I will confess.

I will tell you.

I will tell you.

I will tell you.

I will tell you.

Those kids wanted good grades in exams.

So I took them there...

Why and how did you abduct Kanha?

- I'll tell you. - Who was with you?

- Why did you kill the kids? - I'll tell you.

Where do you take them?

I didn't sacrifice them.

I didn't!

He made me offer the sacrifice.

He!

Oh dear!

You know

under this ground lies a huge treasure.

But that evil spirit won't let go of it.

He told me

if I sacrifice 8 only sons as offering to him,

he will let go of the treasure.

Treasure?

- What treasure? - Under the tree.

That evil spirit got four sacrificial offerings.

If we don't offer four more...

Oh dear...

Oh dear...

Who knows who all will die!

Why did the wall of the building collapse?

Do you know, madam?

Do you?

Do you know?

You killed the kids for the treasure.

No! I didn't kill them.

I didn't kill them.

Those three people wanted the treasure.

They wanted it...

That evil spirit was to

bless me with mastery over senses.

Mastery over senses.

I...

Three? Who are they?

I...

With me?

With me...

Oh dear...

Shall I arrest them, madam?

The full moon ends in two hours.

They are reputed villagers, madam.

I have a plan.

What's this? Just one?

We need three more.

I said we have to kill 4 kids.

How convenient!

You wait here comfortably

- and ask us to do the dirty work. - Yes, then?

- All three want the treasure, right? - Correct.

It's not easy to abduct kids.

Let us go together.

What if he gets away like the previous kid?

I'll wait here. You both go.

Nothing doing.

- We must all go before time runs out. - Yes.

Let's kill them together so the treasure will appear.

Right. Let's go.

- All right, let's go. - Yes.

Come.

Come.

Let's go.

Come.

Nab them.

- Stop! - Pick up the stone.

- Don't move. - Grab it from there.

- Nab them. - Hey, stop.

- Don't move. - Hey, stop.

Oh catch, catch.

Catch them.

Don't move, stay put.

Balu Joshi.

- Balu! - Balya!

- Mukunda! - Bloody hell.

It's Mukunda.

Hey, but who is the third one?

The person you trusted the most...

Let me expose his true face.

Come ahead.

- Catch him! - Stop.

Sir!

He killed Sonu...

'Shocking news from Salbardi village.'

'Led by superstition, 4 kids were killed.'

'Ahmednagar district court'

'has taken the accused Balwant aka Balu Joshi'

'Mukunda Thorat, Somnath Kotkar, the teacher'

'and Damodar Shinde aka Pimplya's'

'evil actions into consideration'

'and sent them into judicial custody'

'until the next hearing.'

'The accused have confessed.'

'They why is the hearing taking so long?'

'The villagers of Salbardi'

'and parents of the victims'

'have questioned the authorities.'

'What is John Chandekar's take on this?'

'Let's see.'

Madam, Kanha is safe all thanks to you.

How would I live without him?

I can't even think of it.

Don't say that, Yesu.

Kanha's presence of mind helped me solve this case.

It was tough though.

Right?

Kanha,

what did you want to tell her?

Aunty, Sirixa didn't answer one question.

I found the answer now.

Is it? Oh yes.

That day you didn't have an answer.

Okay, what will you be when you grow up?

I will be a police officer like you.

Wow. You'll surely succeed.

Good boy.

- Take care of him. - Madam!

Manorama madam!

- Madam? - Who can it be at this hour?

- Stop there. - Madam!

- Don't go ahead. - Madam!

- Madam! - Let's check. - Kanha, watch TV.

- Come, Yesubai. - Stop here.

- Madam. - Where are they going next?

- We need to meet Madam. - Don't go there.

- Madam. - Stop here.

- Madam will be angry. Stop. - Madam!

- Madam, listen to us. - Don't go.

- What's going on? - I tried to stop them but...

That's okay.

Who are you?

Madam, I am Sumitrabai.

Madam, I am Pavitrabai.

- What's the matter? - Save him, madam.

He won't survive.

He's calling you.

You're his only hope, madam.

You alone can save him.

Calm down.

Who do I have to save?

Pimplya!

Pimplya?

What happened to him?

He's innocent. He didn't do this, madam.

He's a simpleton.

He couldn't have done this, madam.

Look, he confessed to his crimes.

There's evidence against him.

Let the court decide.

What makes you think he's innocent?

He loves kids, madam.

He can't kill children.

For a normal fever,

he stays up all night tending to them.

He loves the children

though he didn't sire them.

He dotes on them.

Meaning?

'Should we tell her?'

'No point hiding anything.'

'We'll tell her everything.'

'Yes, madam. Those are our kids'

'but Pimplya is not their father.'

Nobody knows this.

Wait, what don't they know?

The fact that he is impotent.

- What? - Yes, madam.

He was born without a sexual organ.

You tell me, madam,

why would a simpleton who's impotent

do this to little kids?

No way, madam.

He couldn't have done this.

He's innocent, madam.

Save him, madam.

Save him.

Jai Hind, madam.

Pimplya?

You're here, madam.

Come in.

I need to talk to you.

- Open the lock. - Don't go in, madam.

- I said open. - Okay, madam.

Tell me.

What is it?

I told you

that evil spirit wanted 8 sacrificial offering.

But you stopped me at four.

Nothing can stop him now.

Evil spirit?

What spirit?

The one...

You know that ruined mansion.

In the basement.

He's guarding the treasure.

Your hearing date will be out soon.

Either you all will get life sentence

or death penalty.

Evil spirit!

The laws of this realm can't harm us.

But he will punish us.

Do you want to see it?

Now it's my turn.

Now it's my turn.

Pi...

Pimplya!

Now it's my turn.

Now it's my turn.

Now it's my turn.

Let me go! Mom! Dad!

Oh dear!
