'For sins to flourish'

'Your land will turn into a graveyard'

'Dark Tales'

- Hi
- 'Come soon and open the door'

- 'How long do I ring the bell?'
- Oh! You are here, huh?

I'm coming...coming

How long will I wait out?

Thank god you picked my call

Otherwise I would have
had to break open the door

I'm not a drama queen, Priya

And I'm not a scaredy-cat like you think

It's just a break up, chill

I know you are a brave girl

But I know during this time
how frustrating it can be, Umayaal

Yes, damn pandemic!

I thought I could just go
on a hike, Covid had to hit us

You have books all over the place

Read all this

Hmmm...done and dusted

- Tell me if you have any book
- Hey! Wait

My brother just bought an old library
and is wondering what to do with it

You can chill over there

- Really?
- Of course

What do you think?

'Wow!'

'Such a big library
belongs to you, da?'

'Yes, this library is 100 years old'

Thank you, Anand
I'm damn excited

You say it is ancient
Will I find any interesting book?

You'll get what you want

Let's go inside

It has been said, 'you can
find pleasure only in solitude'

Which do you prefer?
Fiction or non-fiction?

Fiction

Yes, that will be creative

This section is right from
when the library was started

Interesting and termite ridden

Thank you, Anand

Only 'thanks', huh?

Library

Lockdown

Love

Umayaal

Then the slippers on her feet

Point noted, I have a lot of work to
attend to regarding library renovation

You carry on
You carry on

'She insulted me!'

'Karungkaapiyam
Dark Tales'

Hmmm...interesting

'Karungkaapiyam'

'I dedicate this book to the truths I know
in this world full of mysticism and magic'

'The Jinxed Tongue Woman'

'In an independent apartment complex
Meera was crying seated on the stairs'

Listen

Something wrong?

Nothing

- I'll leave
- Hello, 1 minute

What is the problem?

If my life is care of sidewalk
how can anyone help me?

Why are you upset?

Tell me in a way I can understand

'Right at the time lockdown was imposed
my landlord chased me out of my house'

'Not knowing where to go
I was in a quandary'

Here

You said you were going back home?

Roadside inns have been opened
to those who can't return

Go and stay there

Then you will realize

My value

Get lost!

Hey! Your death will be horrific, man

With a bloody broken skull,
you'll lie an abandoned corpse

The corporation will clear the corpse

'Shut your gob and clear out'

- Hi Shalini
- 'Hey Meera'

'How are you?
Where are you?'

I am in Chennai

'Be safe, Meera'

'I heard the situation is really bad'

'Close everything
and stay put at home'

Er...I have a small problem, Shalini

My house owner asked me to vacate

I don't know where to go

'Oh...er...that is-'

Hello?

'I would love to take you home, Meera'

'But in this situation everything is vague'

'Don't even know
what to believe'

'I have 2 elderly people at home'

'I can't take chances, Meera'

'Er...if you want I can
suggest a good idea'

'Just fall at your owner's feet
Get back the key and go back home'

- Thanks, Shalini
- 'Sure, bye'

Now I have no clue where to go

I live alone in a double bedroom flat

If you don't mind you can stay
in my flat till this lockdown is over

Are you serious?

Please

'Follow me'

Please come

Come inside

That is my bedroom

- It's a bit messy
- That's okay

You can use that guest bedroom

Please come

This is your room

Make yourself comfortable

You want anything
I'm in the next room

Just feel free to ask

Hey! Um-

- Thank you so much
- What is this?

You are a godsend

Hey! What happened?

You know the guy in # B13
with a hairstyle like twisted iron rods

He passed away

Oh my God!
He's my landlord

He was fine

What happened?

Husband and wife quarrel

Aunty hit him with a rolling pin

Skull split into two
Man died on the spot

Bad time to die

No one to cremate him

Corporation is clearing the corpse

Shakthi, I think I'm to blame
for my house owner's death

- What?
- Yes

I cursed him and it came true

- Are you trying to joke?
- No, listen

'Your skull will split into two'

'With a bloody broken skull, you'll lie
an abandoned corpse' I cursed him

Whatever I said
has come true verbatim!

Are you serious?

You think your curse came true
like Kannagi or what?

You know last month that ironing chap
who was burnt to death in his shop?

- Yes
- He scorched my expensive sari

He was so rude and arrogant

I cursed him, 'you will burn to cinders
along with your shop, just like my sari'

Even that came true

What?

- Silly superstition
- You don't believe me?

Shall we put it to test?

Tell me

Okay

He has come

Come

- Thanks, brother
- Okay, sir

Was it your curse
for his bike to stall like this?

No, I felt bad for him

I couldn't curse him

I know you can't anyway

'Bah! Wifi and mobile data
don't work inside this place'

'How the hell does he live here?'

Shakthi

Shakthi

'Where has he vanished?'

What the hell?

Hey Shakthi!

- Shakthi
- 'I am coming'

What is this?
Such a big bag

Private stuff, Meera

Hey! Why did you go out
locking me in?

Out of habit, Meera, sorry

We'll have lunch in an hour?

'What is this?
Such a big bag'

'Private stuff, Meera'

'That is my bedroom
It's a bit messy'

'Hey Meera'

'What's up?'

Got up early?

Look what I have bought for you

Vanilla ice cream

Enjoy

'What are you doing, Meera?'

No, I heard some noise

I came to check

Even if the world is up in flames

...no one will come
at this unearthly hour

Come in

Come, let's have ice cream

This is why you shouldn't be over smart

If you had silently cooperated

I would have had my fill of you
and kept you blissfully happy

There would have been
no need for this violence

Get in there

Hiiii! What is it, dear?
Are you hungry?

I'll get lunch ready in half an hour

We'll spend some quality time together

I promise

Hey! Who are you?

'Hello, machi
How are you?'

'Why are you sweating so much?'

Dude, don't know if it is lack of sleep

I am imagining as if
somebody is in here

I think I am hallucinating

'What are you up to
that you can't even sleep?'

'You couldn't even have
scored during lockdown'

Machan, I don't have that problem

Just before lockdown
I kidnapped 3 chicks

On top of it, one more came
and literally fell on my lap

'What are you saying?'

You are the one enjoying life
to the fullest in this lockdown?

Machan, she is ultimate heaven

Her satin smooth skin

Her unique scent

'He's giving me a hard on'

But, dude

I can have a feast, nibbling
bit by bit like tasting a 'rasagulla'

Listen, even if we hunt
we won't get a chick like that

Don't make me feel jealous

Let me take a look

How frustrated can you get

I've sent you the photo

'Proper 'sweet cottage cheese', I say'

Wow! She is too good to be true

- What is her name, dude?
- Meera

Tell me her full name

Meera Krishnakumar I think

Done

Meera Krishnakumar

Go away

- Hey! Did you see it?
- 'I did, da'

Looks like he came out
of a cauldron of boiling oil

He's the ironing chap in my flat

- 1 month since he died
- What?

1 month, huh?

I think this is something controversial

I'll send you a link
Check it now

The Meera you mentioned
died 5 years ago

Hey! This isn't possible

This is some scam

I'm scared

I've been with her all these days

I slammed her head and
I've tied her up in my room

I'll show you

Hey look

She's right here
How do you explain this?

Where? I can't see anyone

What do you mean?

'The customer you are trying to
speak to is on another call'

I'm checking the file
in the archives, sir

Don't be flustered
Everything is perfect

- Anand
- What?

2 minutes
Just come down

I'm on an important call
I'll finish and come

Sir...sir, everything is correct

'Everything is perfect
You don't worry'

'Archive record is perfect
I'll bring it over to your place'

'Kajal Screamed Her Throat Hoarse'

Hi, ma'am

Look at the camera and say 'hi'

- Who are you?
- Ma'am, don't you know me?

I am 'It is That is' Prasanna

- So what?
- So nothing, ma'am

I have 1 million subscribers
in my YouTube channel

If you tell my viewers
your experience in this lockdown

And I upload the video on YouTube
it will be awesome, okay?

Yov! Cut that damn video

Lower your hand, duffer!

I think you don't know who I really am

Many directors and producers
follow my channel

And you look a lovely glam-doll

'They will take you
heart, mind and body'

You will be a heroine before
you blink your eyes, okay?

Short and sweet video
Poor, pitiful me, no?

It is a 'yes'?

Wait, I'll be back

'Party bit the bait!'

Show me your hand

Chee! Extend your palm

- Pucca! Let's shoot
- Wait, I say

Why are you being
'smarty-panty'?!

Panty, huh?

'She looks like Snow White'

'Talks like Cruella of 101 Dalmatians!'

Madam, vessels are scrubbed
with this cleaning powder

Shut up and scrub your hand first

Sprinkle all you want

No palmist can read my hand anymore!

I'm ready
Let's go, madam

Sparkling clean
Shall we start?

Aiyaiyo! Madam, this is acid

What are you doing?
My palm will go for a toss

This is to ensure
you don't get tossed

No chance
I might even die

It is spic and span
Let's start the shoot

Okay, but anyway
maintain an arm's distance

Got it?

Hi everyone

Last time many of you had asked me

How to reduce tummy fat

Keep fit
Stay healthy

And let's beat this Corona

Hey everyone

Today what is hip hop
and happening in our Kajal special

Finger 'biriyani'!

Yes, you heard it right

Not vi-ral biriyani
'Viral' as in finger biriyani

Lady's finger types

Take good look

It's so simple

And it tastes so, so yummy

So you should try this
in your kitchen too

And write your feedback
in the 'comments' section below

See you guys

Love from Kajal

Wow!

Awesome movie

Full on action

Watch films like this

If you know of good films
don't forget, send me your list

Till then lots of love
from Kajal

I can't bear this

This isn't good at all

How much longer is this exile?

I feel I'll go stark raving mad

21 days have gone by

This lockdown seems eternal

Aiyo!

Shucks...shucks!

God help me!

Shucks!

It's all gone
My life is over

I don't know what he'll do next

Hello?

'Corona virus disease spread
can be stopped-'

Damn this Covid female
and her automated message!

Careful, dear
Father's robe!

Hey! Just shut your gob

I came to pray and look at this
You made me finger-less, my child

Show me your hands

Oh no!

Almost all fingers gone, huh?

You chopped one by one
saying you wanted for your 'biriyani'

Get lost, man!

Your fingers aren't tasty at all

Is that why you chopped
9 of my fingers, my child?

Come...come close

Let me give you absolution, my child

Father, what are you cribbing about?

He came here just like you

Look how quiet he is
Such a good boy!

'Why is he wearing such a big mask?'

He is my favorite

Thank God for electricity

I miss you a lot, my duffer boy

This leather-mouth was my inspiration
to upload my videos in Insta

Are all of you in the pink of health?

You brought fried rice
the other day, right?

Yes, akka

I hold the senior most position here

You locked me up in a room
even before Lock-down

'You sniffed and said'

My finger is stinking
You'll come back later

That's right
And you?

'Madam, milk'

- You?
- I'm Kabbas

I came to show you a demo
on how to clean your toilet

Hello, according to the order
my turn to speak now

You'll get it
Zip your lips!

Oh my ball!

Who are you, man?
Like a watch dog?

My dear, I'm the uncle
who lives in the opposite house

When the whole nation
was busy lighting lamps

I came to borrow oil from you

I've even taught you Math
when you were a kid

Don't you remember?

Yov! So-so soup!

You bore me to death

I've pickled you for too long

- D day today for you
- Don't, akka

Shut up!

Place your hand here

- No need
- Keep it here

Hey! Sssssh!

Hey! Don't wail
Show me the next finger

Sssshhh!

She's in a frock she bought
when she was 5 years young!

Who are you?

Body builder during
Corona holiday!

I am YouTube reviewer
Green shirt Naran!

- So...?
- I have another name

Left over rice Naran

What a yucky name!

People who were jealous coined it

We'll share back stories later
First give me your hand

Wait, man
First wash your hands

Why should I?

- What's this new habit?
- Show me your hand

'Smells good'

Madam, pour some more

Yov! What are you doing?

Must have a pure mind, right?

Why rub it in your head
to purify your mind?

My mind is in my hair

Yov! I must sell my house to afford
a sanitizer for your fizzy mop-head

'What is this crazy female
taking out now?'

You need your vessels scrubbed?

I have enough people at home to
do all that, show me your hand

Rub, man

My hands are gleaming like the moon

I feel like gifting my hands to you

No need now

Give me when I ask you
without creating a ruckus

How is that a problem, madam?

My 10 fingers are yearning
whispering 'Kajal, Kajal'

I'll gladly give
whenever you ask

- Yearning, huh?
- I am ready

Come in then

Jackpot!

Did you think 'Leftover rice Naran'
will get a 5 star buffet like this?

Even I didn't expect it, bye

'Why are all of you
sitting finger-less here?'

'MUMMMMY!'

- Hello?
- Umayaal

Sorry...sorry
I was on a work call

'What happened?'

Doesn't matter

If I tell you what I read
you won't believe me

What did you read?

There is a book by the name
'Dark Tales'

It must have been written
at least 100 years ago

It has current events

Present Prime minister

And even Lockdown has been
predicted with in depth analysis

So weird!

- Did you check the author's name?
- No

Give me a second

Oh God!

That page is in tatters
and author's name is faded

Oh! Okay, wait

All the books in this library will be

'...recorded in the archive for sure'

'Shall I ask my brother to find out?'

Okay, perfect

Call me once you find out

I'll be reading the other stories

Okay, bye

Sir, whatever it is, I'm on the way
We can discuss in person, okay?

Don't forget the cash, sir

I've locked the door now
On the way, sir

'Pitch Darkness'

Thanks a ton, Jacob

I was jobless for long

And hanging out with
random scumbags

I hope you'll pay me for this work

'We've called you only because
we lack that wretched cash'

Siddharth
Abhimanyu

'One who lives in the dark'

Isn't it Arvind Swami's name
in 'Thani Oruvan'?

Wow!

He must be a man
with class and style

You'll see him now

Siddhu, this is the new singer Shruthi

'Why is this bandicoot sizing me up?'

'He's weird!'

Yov! Why is your eye
popping out of its socket?

- Haven't you seen a girl in your life?
- No

No, huh?

No, why do we need
a swimmer for our studio

That's what I am thinking

Idiot!

May a buffalo pee
in your deaf ears!

She is a singer
Not a swimmer

- Get to work
- She is so beautiful

Can she sing?

- No touching
- Touchy!

Hello...hello
Why are you yawning?

- Shall we get to the lines?
- Okay

"Girl, all by yourself you came here
to carry water in your pot, dear"

"What is in your feet, I wonder?
Or your hands and head, I ponder?"

"Hair on your head...aaaaay...aaaay"

Stop it!

Hey! Shut up

This tune is so familiar

'Looks like he found out'

"What if we stay awhile and linger?"

This is a carbon copy
of Rahman sir's song

Why, man?
Why do you sink so low?

Sir, no one will know

Even if they find out, listeners will
crucify this song and make it popular

This is the present trending 'chattergy'

It will work out in our favor, trust me

Do your damn best

Start, Shruthi

"Girl, all by yourself you came here
to carry water in your pot, dear"

"What is in your feet, I wonder?
Or your hands and hea-"

'Buffalo bum-fellow
Junk of a jerk!'

"Hair on your head...aaaaay"

Shruthi, 1 minute

What is it now?

I heard someone call me
'Buffalo bum-fellow'

And worse, 'junk of a jerk'
Did you hear it too?

Very simple, Siddhu

Thinking of your plight,
you must have cursed yourself silently

Wasn't my mind voice

It sounded more like
someone was yelling in anger

Okay, okay

Once more, Shruthi

"Girl, all by yourself you came here
to carry water in your pot, dear"

"What is in your feet, I wonder?
Or your hands and head, I ponder?"

"Hair on your head...aaaaay"

'Stop caressing your paunch!'

- Cutting Shruthi
- 'Cutting' means?

How does it matter to you
if I rub my stomach?

- You there!
- SIRRR

She derided me
in a buffalo grunting voice

Jacob, what nonsense is this

'He is crossing his limit
This is too much'

I came here as a favor to you
and this creep is insulting me

Oho! As if you didn't insult me

You are cussing me in slum lingo

What do you take me for?
Brainless bonehead?

- Did I say so?
- Shut up!

Let's finish recording and go home

'Waste fellow!'

'Don't know if he's piss drunk!'

Okay...okay
Once more, Shruthi

"Girl, all by yourself you came here
to carry water in your pot, dear"

"What is in your feet, I wonder?
Or your hands and head, I ponder?"

"Hair on your head...aaaaay"

I'll chop your ear and feed it
to the dogs, 4-eyed fellow

Sir, you saw that?

A curly haired fellow
merged with that girl's face

He just now cursed me rudely

Yov! Jacob
This is too much

I can't put up with
this creature's eccentricity

- I'm sorry, I'm just leaving
- Hey! Shruthi

'Power outage
Siddhu, you lunatic'

I asked you to record
What are you up to?

Now it's all trashed
Happy now?

Shruthi...hey Shruthi

Jacob, I want to go home
Please drop me right now

Don't get tense, he didn't-

He's blabbering utter nonsense
You think I have to listen to all that crap

- I came here to sing
- He may have played a prank

Hey! Keep quiet

- Why can't I open this door?
- Move, let me open

Siddhu, why is it locked?

I think those 2 kids of my neighbor
played a prank on me as usual

What are you saying?

This is the prank by 2 playful kids

Then call that lady
and ask her to open the door

Aiyaiyo!

No signal in my phone, I can't call

Even I don't have

True, in my phone too

This is really frustrating

One of you at least go,
get a candle

Battery in my phone is draining

- Why is this place so smoky?
- True that

Siddhu, did you forget to
switch off the stove?

- Nooooo
- I'm feeling cold too

You don't have to be scaaaaaaaaared

Bringing the caaaaaaandle

Go now, da
Get the candle

Who is he, sir?

He seems such a dim-witted dumbo

You've trusted your film to him

Don't raise your tone

Professionals cost money

If you give peanuts
you get only monkeys like him

Weren't you talking about meeeeee?

I know only tooooooooo well!

Oh, no!

'Such a pain'

Idiot!

'Saithan soola-'

Devil's spear deadly!

Why are you blabbering?

Ignore it, man

My tongue just rolled
what my mind said

Oh, no!

No need this damp squib

I'll bring another caaaaaandle

Jacob, why is it so cold here?

Yes, it is cold

Ask her what she wants

Hi, I am director Jacob

Are you Siddharth's friend?

'What did I say to make you cry?'

'Hello-'

'Please don't cry...hello?'

Why are you crying?

What is the matter?

Are you okay?

My heart is racing
My mind is rattled

I wanted so many of
my dreams to come true

I wanted a family of my own
Husband, children

And cherish happy memories with them

All my dreams faded into nothing

Jacob, saw the true colors
of that palmfruit-head fellow?

Looks like a gullible idiot

He has cheated a girl
right inside his house

Tell me whatever has upset you

We will help you

Is he torturing you?
Confide in us

'I am baaaaaack'

Back with a new candle

Hey! Listen to-

Where...where did she go?

- Light, dear candle
- Scared of him, must be hiding

Cha! Will you exhale just when
I am lighting the candle?

You think we exhaled with force?

Yes

Give me the matchbox

Good lord! When I'm lighting
some oaf is blowing it off

I said these same words
Did you believe me?

You are talking as if
you are the son of darkness!

Fine, switch on the torch
in your mobile now

I need to tell you
something important

What, sir?

You've hidden a girl in your studio
and torturing her, right?

Talk about her

Aiyaiyo! Why is she behaving
like a stark raving woman?

Hey! Who...?

Dumbo, get lost!

Why is she calling me
dumbo jumbo, sir?

That's it, sirrrr!

My tension will shoooooooot up!

So what if your tension shoots up?
What will you do, huh?

Nothing...he will do n-o-t-h-i-n-g!

He'll get piss-drunk
and sleep on his paunch

My work will suffer
Get that into your head

Whatever! I need to use the restroom

What is this, sir?

In the end, you branded me an alcoholic!

Shall we have a peg?

Lunatic!

Why is the tap freezing cold to touch?

Water seems frozen?

"My dreams ended as embers frustrated"

"The many days I waited
became a dream deflated"

Hello?

"This bright butterfly
flitting in my heart died with a sigh"

"My dreams charred into cinders frustrated"

"The many days I waited patiently
became a faded dream abruptly"

My dear...look at me

I think some neighbor of mine
has opened his 'idli' cooker

The place is full of steam in spirited form

'Jacob'

Jacob, hurry

Aiyaiyo!

Stamping my toe like a buffalo

How is it you are alive?

Is this her weird sense of humor, sir?

She wants to know
how I'm still alive!

I saw you standing as a corpse
in the loo and that girl was screaming too

- I saw you
- What are you blabbering?

He's right before you
like a clay idol of Ganesha

I saw, I swear
Everything is wrong here

Come with me to the toilet, Jacob

- I'll show you
- Aiyaiiiiiiyo!

You are the one who is
uttering all the wrong words

Shut up

Siiiiiiiir

This girl kept harping
on the word 'toilet'

I really need to use the toilet now

If you don't mind, sir

I'll go in and relieve myself

You go in and check
after I ease my pressure

Yov!

Were you conceived
at a jinxed hour?

I don't know, sir

Shall I ask my father and let you know?

Just shut up and come

Okay

Jacob

Check behind the door

That girl will be lamenting

Behind the door?

Step in, Jacob

Why are you spitting on my face?

Come and see for yourself

Sir, this is a private toilet

I can stick whatever poster I want

How can you question that?

You stick any 'dash' you like

Why have you stuck my image
in-between these freaks?

That is...that is because
you are my 'impression'

So if I catch a glimpse of you
first thing in the morning

That's how much you respect me!
That's how LITTLE you respect me!

I'll curse you
Move aside

Shruthi, you said you saw
a ghost and a corpse inside

All I can see is
this creature's antics!

I know I saw, Jacob

But I don't know how
to prove it to you

Look over there

Dai! Who are you?

My gawd!
Dammit!

What happened, sir?

Siddhu, some bloody chit of an imp
rang a bell in the most crucial spot

He has plucked your fuse then

'I have an old emergency light'

'Okaaaay, I'll get it for you'

Brother, who are you?
Cooling tea in the midst of chaos here

Do you want some tea?

Hold the glass

Wow!

Brother, your tea is
out of this world

Special tea, Rs 20

Rs 40 for both of you

Pay up

Lock down

No money

Make do with this

Useless fellow fit to be
death's next client!

2 hot lentil fritters with this tea
would be simply super, no?

'Your taste buds need a whacking'

Aww! Ouch!

Why are you taking it
out of your fizzy mop?

You wanted hot 'vadai'?

Yes, it is piping hot

'Hey! Jacob'

Will you eat any crap you get?

Why are you being so rude?

In front of your eyes, he fished it
out of his sparrow-nest head

You want to eat THAT?

'She must be a rowdy girl'

'I am baaaaack'

I hunted high and low and
found a torch liiiiiight for us

Siddhu, instruct the tea vendor
in your studio to be more hygienic

He takes out 'vada'
from his fizzy head

She is deriding me

What nonsense you are talking!

There is no one else in this studio
other than the three of us

How dumb can you get
He is sitting right nex-

Hey...hey!
Where did he vani-

- Don't stamp my foot
- How strange?

That fellow sat here and gave us tea

Looked like your cousin

- Shucks! No charge
- Oh no! What you mean?

'Switch on the torch you're holding'

This is the girl who was
lamenting in the loo

This booze gives me a solid kick

'Someone is drinking in your house'

Penniless punk!

No...no

Random strangers
are roaming in here

This is the fizzy-head I told you

Is he your twin brother?

No, sir

'Wonder whose son, no idea'

'Aiyo! Bummer'

You keep looking at eye level

Give it to me, sir

Let's check if anyone
is below waist level

Who are you, man?

Yahoo!

'Why did you lie to me
he rang the bell on you, sir?'

'He has burst my bladder, sir'

'It has leaked now all over the place'

'Leaked here?
Shucks...shucks!'

'Not that
Just piss!'

'Give me your torch'

- Switch it on fast
- I am unable to

Switch it on...quick

Who are these people?

A whole village out here

Let's escape from here

'The Next Night'

Sir, I intended calling you

We encountered a minor problem
in the studio we went to recor-

'I know everything'

'Will a man get piss drunk
like this during lockdown?'

What, sir?

Drunk?

'Yes, man'

'He should sit tight at home
if he is so sozzled'

'Will he drive on the road
when fully tanked?'

'You know how many people
he has run over?'

'All dead on the spot'

I don't get it?

Sir, what are you saying?

'Why are you pretending
as if you don't know anything?'

'Don't you watch the News?'

Let me watch...I'll check now

'Go and do that first'

'You are stressing me out'

- 'I'll call later'
- Okay, sir

'Renowned music composer
Siddharth Abhimanyu'

'Died in a car accident'

'Cine-world and fans shocked'

'In his intoxicated state he ran over
and killed 5 innocent people'

Then-

Were those who died in that accident
roaming in the studio as spirits?

This lunatic Siddharth
was also a ghost?

'The name is Siddharth Abhimanyu'

'Good luck'

'Only the one living in bright light
will be terrified of darkness'

'I am living only in blackness'

Crazy stuff

Who has written these tales?

Hello...?

'Finger...finger'

Finger...finger

Finger...finger

'Finger'

'Finger...finger...finger'

'Kajal's barbaric act
making young men scream in fear'

'Finger...finger!'

'Pitch darkness'

'Music composer Siddharth Abhimanyu'

'Renowned music composer
Siddharth Abhimanyu'

'Died in a car accident'

Oh my god!
It's just not possible

'Two Bottles In The Whirl of The Wind'

'Saravana's house was cluttered
with empty beer bottles'

- Hello, Pambu
- Saravana, how are you?

How is lockdown treating you?

- 'What are you up to?'
- They say this is the 'new normal'

They have fought with a virus
a human eye cannot see

On the whole these Chinese
have brought the world to its knees

You won't survive without booze

You hoarded it beforehand, huh?

Don't annoy me, Pambu

One and a half months since I drank
I am desperate for a drop of liquor

Our area boys gave me
their home made concoction

I've been having the loosies

You call yourself area leader

And you'll soon be councilor

'Why are you cribbing
in such a pathetic way?'

You want to booze, right?

- Yes, you got, huh?
- I haven't hoarded any

But to hoard for 3-4 years and drink daily

'There are 100s of bottles
waiting to be opened'

We will grant their wish!

Where is this place, Pambu?

Only in our area

Didn't the owner demolish
a wedding hall and build a bar?

His bad time, he got corona
and he is in quarantine

But I know a way into the bar
not a single soul knows

Pambu, you are a true friend

Pambu, where are you taking me?

- Hey!
- Just follow me

Why get scared?
All this is familiar area

I told you, no?

Look how they have abandoned it

Come on

Why is it so dark?

Owner wouldn't have paid the bill

Check for a switch somewhere

- Where is the light?
- I found the switch

Hey!

All foreign babes, man

'Stash!'

Oh my God!

'What a stash'

'Which bottle do we open first?'

Aiyaiyuyuyuyuyou!'

Hey Pambu

We don't have a bag big enough
to hold all these bottles

Your brain hasn't grown
like your beefy muscles

No one will come here
till the Lockdown is lifted

We can flick these bottles
in instalments daily

Come on, open that first, Pambu

Let's have a peg or two

When you know it's a freebie
you are choosing the most costly!

Pambu, you said this place is empty

Sssshhh! Keep quiet

Let's see who it is

Thank god!

That door is slamming in the wind

You made me pee in my pants!

I was petrified, Pambu

He made my heart almost stop

Come on

Pambu, something grossly wrong here

I thought I heard a ghost crying

Shut up, da

I think someone got drunk
and is howling his head off

Give me your head

Who is he?

Bloody! After his dance performance
he has come to booze here

Duffer!

That wastrel is headless
and asking us for our heads

What does it matter
if he dances or drinks?

My tension is mounting

Let's have a couple of pegs each

'What is this, Pambu?'

'It is smoky everywhere'

This is a bad omen, Pambu

I am terrified

If there's gold inside
will you say no?

This is no treasure chest, da

- Let's escape
- Wait

Let's see what the hell is inside

I feel we shouldn't

What the hell is this?

'Can't see a damn thing'

Let go...let go of me

This is some voodoo
or black magic stuff, da

- Let's scoot
- Let's not drink

We'll take whatever bottles
we can and scoot

Who the hell are you?

Why are you scraping the floor?

Boneheads!

You stole the funnel
from a kerosene tin

And stuck it in your mouth

You are scorching me

- It's burning hot
- Careful, you're hurting me

They burnt our skin
with their flint stones

Who are you?

I'm Sarakkalatia's God Mother
Sarakalaya

Sarakalaya?

Why is your name and world
the Tamil word for 'booze'?

One of the galaxies undiscovered
by your human race in this world

Sarakkalatia

Then you are...?

Yes, we are aliens

You'll land in America usually

Why are you inside this bar?

We visit various planets often

Learn about the news
and views there

And understand the lifestyle of that race

We came to your planet this time

We noticed you had spat on
walls everywhere, trash all over the place

You had no sense of hygiene
and brought about Covid 19 also

You are dirty with a capital D

We wanted to get back home

You've locked us too
with your stupid lockdown

Our E-pass got rejected

Imagine rejecting their E-pass!

How are you affected
if we are under Lockdown?

If we have to return

...the power source for our rockets
we can get only when your factories open

So until this Lockdown is lifted
we are stuck in this bar

What a wild tale this is

How did you settle down
in this bar of all places?

Why not sit in a temple,
theater or mall?

This bottle spoils your health

This is our main staple food

'We can't live without booze'

That's why we settled in the right place
well stocked, till the end of Lockdown

Booze is what keeps you alive?

Madam, take us with you to your galaxy

We will come with you happily

You can't survive in our world
even for a single day

The wind has marijuana mixed in it

Main ingredient in our food is alcohol

Our water bodies, be it sea, pond,
lake, river will only be booze

You'll puke blood and die in 1 day

You have your world of booze

Sacrifice a few bottles from here

Sorry, extremely difficult

We don't even know if this stock is enough
for us to survive till your Lockdown ends

How unfair!

You have a bar with a variety of booze

We want just 2 bottles each

Give us, please

Can't part with 4

Just 2 on the whole

That too, only if you pass all my tests

Even the students who have arrears
have been promoted in this Covid time

You want to test our brains

We never offer anything
as a freebie in our world

Everything has to be earned
with self respect intact

So if you pass my test
I'll give you 2 bottles

What do we do?

Booze is priority

Are you okay with it?

Fine, we are ready for your test

'Coriander o'va'

Hello...what happened to me?

Enlightenment

You have the power to
make your dreams come true

What do you mean?

Will I get whatever I ask?

Whatever is embedded in
your heart will be fulfilled

'Heard that, Pambu?'

My astrologer-neighbor's
prediction has come true

Not only will you cross
your legs in comfort

You can even dance on anyone's head

Ask something useful

In a whirlpool of happiness
I don't even know what to ask

- My mind is stuck
- What to ask?

Ask her for 100 kg of gold

Bravo! Pambu

Gold

'Thangam'

100 kg gold

Oh my God!
Is she my wish come true?

Hey! What is this?

We asked for 100 kg gold and
she made our school 'ayah' sit on your lap

This one is also called Thangam

Won't you be weighing 100 kg?

Bloody moron of a mongrel!

I was cleaning the school toilet
and you brought me here!

Put me down, son of a gun
Sleazebag, scoundrel

- Let me go, junk piece
- You're hurting me

Where is she?

You showed your true colors from the slum

I never expected this 'Thangam' I swear

She has been embedded
deep in your heart

That's why she came here

'Coriander o'va'

'Coriander o'va'
Coriander o'wa'

'Coriander o'va'
Coriander o'wa'

Stop branding me

I'll give you one more chance

- Use it properly
- Okay...okay

Aiyo! Why are you bungling our boon?

Why did you ask for a 'veena' now?

Even I don't understand

Think deeply

This 'veena' has made
a deep impact in your heart

Think of the reason

I remember now, Pambu

When we were 10 years old

How keen your younger sister was
to learn playing the 'veena'

But the people around us said

'How can the hand that washes vessels
want a 'veena' to play music?'

How much they hurt
your innocent sister's heart?

Every day when she sobbed her heart out

I felt weighed down
and depressed

I used to think I should earn well

And buy her a 'veena'

It was on my wish list, dude

I don't know why

But somehow as I grew up
it slipped my mind

After so many years

Now my brain is refreshed

Why are you making me cry?

Get lost, you idiot!

You are a gem of a friend

I know I messed it up this time too

Ask them not to burn me all over

I'll try once more

No need, you passed your test

In fact we came to your world only to
learn this powerful sentiment from you

This emotion is the biggest power
of your entire human race

We are trying to learn
love and compassion from you

But you seem to have
forgotten these emotions

Only love and righteousness
will protect your world

You are not beasts

Don't forget you are human beings

I have to talk to
a very important person

I want to do so
when it is in my mind

Can I make a call?

Put it on 'speaker' mode

Hello, Mother Mary Home

Madam, is Valliammai grandma there?

Valliammai?
1 minute, I'll call her

Hello...?

Who is this?

'Hello?'

'Hello'

'Patti'

'Hello?'

How are you, grandma?

I am 'Pambu' speaking

Nagaraj

How are you, my dear?

Did you eat, my precious child?

Yes, grandma

How are you?

Why are you crying, dear?

You are my favorite grandson

'Don't cry, darling'

Whatever it is
'this too shall pass'

Please don't cry, my pet child

I'm sorry, patti

You brought me up with
such tender love & care

I allowed my parents to
admit you in that Home

'I cannot be forgiven, grandma'

When you went in the auto

You kept crying, pleading with me
'Don't leave me in an Old Age Home'

That image pricks me
like needles in my heart, patti

This is enough for me, dear

You are my most precious godsend

When I think I have my grandson
who will shed tears for me

'I feel so reassured about living'

If you can come and visit
your grandma as often as you can, dear

'Just a glimpse of your face'

I will be most happy and
I'll have peace of mind, dear

I'll come right away and
bring you back home, patti

'Don't be upset'

You be happy, grandma
Don't worry about anything

If anyone creates any trouble
before I meet you

I'll punch his face

This is more than enough for me, child

With you and all the family members
without getting in the way of any of you

I'll live in a corner
of your house, my dear

If I live with family members around
my mind and heart will be at peace

Ride safely, my dear grandson

Police are here

If you give us 2 bottles
we will escape

Definitely no bottles for you

Is this some kind of game?

I've given you a far more precious gift
than the booze you came in search of

Use it intelligently

'Coriander o'va'

'Coriander o'va'
Coriander o'wa'

'Coriander o'va'
Coriander o'wa'

- What did she mean?
- Listen!

What is the best gift you've given us?

What you already possess

Whatever you ask for
without being selfish you'll get

You can save this world
if you set your heart to do so

Best of luck, 'echakalai'

Heard what she called us?

Even an alien is deriding you
as 'leftover loafer'

We learnt a new word today

Find out what 'echakalai' means

Don't tell me you are all aliens!

You are right

You are alien to us
We are aliens to you

How's all of this possible?

All thanks to you!

I don't get it

How did you land here?

All because of you

Will you ask them to stop
making that sound please?

Really irritating

Okay

Such a wonder you slept so soon

Wait, amma is coming to lift you

Jewel in my crown

Fast asleep, huh?

Let me see your face

My baby...aiyaiyo!

My baby is missing

Kaliaatha is crying
Find out what's wrong

Why are you crying?

My baby has suddenly disappeared
He was sleeping in this cradle

8 babies are missing so far

I was right here, I don't know
who took my baby away

Oh gawd! I want my baby

Uncle is here

- What is it?
- Sister-in-law

You've got a letter
from my brother

Let me read

His army duty is over it seems

He is coming back home

Run...run...run

Come here
Why is everyone running?

Our dhobi is lying there
as a headless corpse, sir

'Quit India,
No more British Rule'

'Foreigner
Quit India'

'British paramountcy
Down down!'

'British rule
Down down!!'

'Won't you let anyone be
safe and sound in our village?'

What happened?
Who is this?

This is our washerman, sir

This is the 6th murder

All corpses are found headless

Something is fishy

Not just murders, annachi

8 babies have gone missing so far

This situation is going
beyond our control

We have to get the police
to investigate, annachi

Arunachalam, this is strange
coming from you

Have we allowed any policeman
into our village at any point of time?

The entire village is panic-stricken

I feel only the police
can handle this efficiently

Arunachalam

You are too young to make
any decision, mind your tongue

If your elder brother was here, well aware
of my status he would have kept quiet

Pipsqueak!

Our family has been protecting
this village through generations

Don't share your opinions with me
I'll bite your Adam's apple

Sir, listen to our gardener's tale

- What is it?
- Sir

My wife and I were sleeping peacefully
after a hard day's work in the grove, sir

Suddenly in the middle of the night

'We heard a voice, sir'

Sir...sir, the moment we saw
that gory, blood stained face

My heart almost stopped beating

If you employ both of us
in your house in any job

We can be live-in hired helpers

I'll smash your face

I asked you to take care of the grove

Will you get sozzled
and tell me ghost stories?

Annachi, I saw that gory sight too

We are petrified we will be next

Give us a job in your house, sir

Bloody useless donkey!

Defending your husband?

'Good for nothing oaf!'

I'll tie you both
and skin you alive

Sir, what he's saying is true

When I went to milk the cows at dawn
a girl with a gory face walked past me

Even I was spooked seeing her, sir

This issue is taking a new twist

All of you listen to me

No one should step out after sunset

Understand?

Ask the youngsters to
take turns guarding the village

Protecting this village
is my sole responsibility

Understand?

Don't be scared, go home

Bloody morons!

'Look at the spread for all of us
celebrating her husband's return'

'Forget the feast,
look at her cheeks'

'She is in the pink of health!'

Hey! Umayaal

Sitting like a princess

Get up, go and serve everyone

Thieving rascal!

Showing your cheap mentality
even if we are generous

If you don't put back
what you stole-

'Pandi, stop it'

How can you hit our guest?

What right do you have?

Does our guest have the right
to steal our possessions, madam?

- Go, attend to your work
- Yes, madam

Forgive me, madam

You help the whole village
How could I steal from your house!

I'm a wretched fellow

- Please forgive me
- What happened?

My wife is bedridden, madam

My children go without food for days

I pledged my fertile land
to my landlord

I have no job

I am plagued by hunger
and worry day and night

That drove me to this ungrateful act

- I am sorry
- No one should be in your shoes

Keep this, feed your family first

Send your children to school

You should be the deity
in our temple, madam

We are blessed

You got married into
a family in our village

You will enjoy peace and prosperity
being so golden hearted, madam

Pandi, pack food for his family also

I will do so at once, madam

You will come and eat unashamedly
whoever invites you, eh?

Welcome, annachi
What a surprise seeing you here

I would love to visit you often

But I am unable to, you see

Not bad, our army officer
has built a decent house

And given you a lovely daughter too

Come in, annachi

You are visiting us for the first time

I'll personally make
coffee with sugar for you

Sweet coffee

Enjoy your meal, all of you
I'll drink my sweet coffee

'Come, child'

Taste my black coffee
with palm sugar, sir

It seems you predict
for the entire village

It is an oracle from our village deity

Whatever you predict
comes true it seems

Is it so?

Sit down and predict my future

Nothing of that sort, sir

Whatever image floats before me
when I close my eyes and think calmly

I write it down

Few of those notes come true

I don't even understand
some of my forecasts

I have written down many of my thoughts
that is a mystery even to me

Read through them

These are beyond my comprehension

Imagine if events that will happen
100 years later are recorded here

But I don't know if all my predictions
will come true or not, annachi

Not bad

Tell me once you finish writing it

I know many publishers

We will print this as a book

- Thank you, sir
- All that is fine

Just write down whatever
strikes you this very moment

Let us see if it comes true

'Umayaal, bring me
a sheet of paper and pen'

- Drink your coffee
- Take that

Amma, take

You go

'This village will turn
into a place of peril'

'For sins to flourish'

'Your land will turn into a graveyard'

I wrote what came to my mind

Don't take it amiss, sir

You haven't written
anything new, dear

Our village is in a state of chaos

Let's ignore that

Think of something for me and write

Show me your hand, sir

'Why is she checking my pulse?'

'Will she blurt out the dark thoughts
in my mind openly?'

'She is super-hot!
So am I!!'

'Will she guess?'

'What is she writing?'

Don't break the pots, sir

Which pot did you-

Aiyo!

I meant this pot, annachi

If I hadn't said you will break this pot-

Maybe you wouldn't have broken it

May be so

I have such doubts nagging me too

Do things happen because I write?

Or is it an oracle flowing
out of my mind unknowingly?

It is a million rupee question
swirling in my brain

Amma, appa is here

Is it so?

Come...come

Pot

Oh gawd!

What...what is it?
Where is he?

Forgive me, 'anni'

They have bundled up
my brother and sent him

Why should it happen only to us?

Sister-in-law, don't

Don't go, anni

Karthika'ma

You can no longer adorn yourself
with flowers and 'kumkum'

You gave the entire village a feast
to receive your husband from the warfront

What a tragedy!

This house, fields, surrounding forest

Your husband has bequeathed
all his assets to you in his will

The military man has willed
all his possessions to you

'How will you manage
all this by yourself?'

Give it to me for safe custody
I'll ensure you lead a comfortable life

'What do you say, lawyer sir?'

You focus on bringing up
your daughter with a lot of love

I know to raise my child, sir

Take care and go back home before sunset

I heard many end up as
headless corpses in our village

Umayaal, come in

We haven't as yet finished
our funeral rites for my brother

You came flocking here so soon
like vultures to grab our wealth

Are you human at all?

Get up

Look at that young fellow deriding us

Arunachalam, wait

Hey Pandi
Attend to your work

What is happening here?

Is your sister-in-law
behaving like a widow?

She is decked up with
flowers, 'kumkum' and finery

- Won't you reprimand her?
- She is still in denial

I'm happy if she and her child
have peace of mind

Instead of poking your nose
in others' business

Investigate the missing children
and multiple murders in our village

What...arrogance!

- Hey Pandi
- Sir

Pandi, come here

Vanakkam, aiya

What is happening in this house?

She is decked in all her finery

He is blabbering
like a full-fledged fool

Sir, even I don't know
what is going on

Queer things are
happening in this house, sir

'Queer' means?

I mean

Tell me or I'll hit you

In the beginning her oracle
was astounding and amazing

But nowadays it is
scary and spooky, sir

What is happening
which terrifies you so much?

We have a dog called Muthu at home

It suddenly went missing

We looked for it all over the place
Couldn't find it at all

'But do you know
what happened that night?'

Muthu

MUTHU

Muthu...?

Muthu?

Muthu

Muthu

Muthu

Muthu

Is all this true?

I swear on my wife, sir

It didn't stop with
just the dog squealing, sir

I've even heard babies
and children scream in pain

Then all those children
that went missing in our village

Is she the culprit?

It seems too barbaric
to even think about it

'This is madness, brother'

'Ask all the fools to go home'

'My head is splitting'

'Don't step into my space'

Annachi

I've never seen my 'anni'
lose her temper like this

I don't subscribe to
any of your views

Kindly leave

He who lifts the cross
knows the burden

So many children missing
Headless corpses strewn everywhere

I am answerable to
the bereaved families

Somehow my suspicion is
on your sister-in-law

Our priest will clarify the situation

You keep quiet

If she is not the culprit
why should your 'anni' be scared?

Here he is
Bring him over

Come, 'nambudri' priest

Vanakkam

Where is the woman?

My sister-in-law is inside

Let us go in

Why isn't there a single picture
of God inside the house?

I think my sister-in-law lost faith in God
ever since my brother passed away

Yes, sir, I'm working here
for many years

I've never seen a single photo of God

I've never seen her
go to the temple

- Who are you?
- Servant Pandian

You can talk only when
I ask you to speak

- Understand?
- Yes, sir

Go and bring that woman

- Go
- Alright, sir

'Let go of me'

'You are hurting me'

'I can't bear this pain'

'Let go of me'

'God help me'

Sir...aiya, spare me
Don't ask me to go in

She is in a gory state inside

Arunachalam sir

I'll take my wife and children
and leave this village

- Sir...save me
- Hey! Pandi

Hey! Shut up

'Hey! Let go of me'

'Can't you hear me?
Let go, stop it!'

'Hey! Who are you?
Playing your tricks on me!'

'Stop...stop it'

'holy chant to exorcise evil spirit'

'Praise be to Goddess Bairavi
Protector of negative energy'

You must tell only the truth
to all the questions I will ask now

When this girl was born

...did her parents die after her birth?

I don't know

Hey! Yes, he is right

It was a postnatal death for the mother

When the father was informed
and he rushed home

He died in a train accident

When this girl attained puberty
was there any disaster in the village?

What is this, annachi?

He's asking such foolish questions

Be quiet, he's right in asking this

Kasi annachi, don't you remember?

On that specific day

Our school building collapsed
and many children died

Yes, priest

I didn't even eat
I rushed to the spot

And to my utmost horror
I found the news to be true

Is her husband alive?

Back to square one!

He got married to her and
a daughter was born to them

He joined the military force
Came back lifeless bundled up

'Fate dealt him a death blow'

'Nambudri priest'

What is the redemption?

She was born with a bad soul

Her power will only become worse

Unless we curb her obstinacy

The case of the missing children

Or these murders can be interrogated

When she predicted saying she is
the Oracle I knew something was amiss

Our foolish villagers were
praising her sky-high

What is the solution, nambudri?

Snip her tongue
so her words won't come true

Offer her to the village
to purify the bad soul

Only if she 'serves' everyone
in this village

...can her sins be redeemed

Here's the sacred ash
Apply on her forehead

'Barber, come here'

All of you move aside
Her tongue will be snipped off

Close your eyes, dear

"Time changes as seasons go by"

'humming a song'

'Kasi'

'Hey Kasi'

'Turn back and look at me, Kasi'

Ammaaa...!

Nam...nam...nambudri

You, huh?

Thank god you came in the nick of time

Something is calling me by my name

How?

Kasi...Kasi

Did it say, 'Turn back
and look at me, Kasi'?

Are you the murderer?

Yes, da

Hey...hey!

What happened, annachi?
Why are you so terrified?

That priest was...in front
of your house-

- I'll handle him
- Wait-

Not now

We'll deal with him later

Sit, take a deep breath

Tell me clearly
so I can understand

You are a godsend

Your servant and that priest
are the murderers we are hunting for

They are coming to kill me now

What happened?

They are chasing me

Dim-witted duffers!

Come here

Brainless idiots

If I had trusted you and sat inside
what will be my plight?

Driving your sister-in-law out of
your house worked as per your plan

We've offered her as a vow
Why this killing spree?

I'll pickle you to pieces

That female is having a hard time
'serving' random men

How can I enjoy my wealth
while she suffers?

Won't the villagers deride me?

What do you want us to do now?

All those who slept with
that female are missing

Our village head had his fun
with her, he is dead too

We don't have to do anything anymore

The people will take care of her

Cast this corpse
in the center of our village

Ask the people to assemble near the well

I'll bring that female over there

We'll close her chapter today
and divide the wealth

- Got it?
- Yes

GO

'Why didn't you kill yourself when
you were 'offered' as public property'

'This kid sleeping here'

'She will share your fate one day'

What are we doing here, ma?

'Forgive me, dear'

'I am a wretched woman'

- 'Stop'
- Amma

Give me the child

Did you see that? She tried to
push this child into the well

Sorceress!

Wonder how many more children
are lying at the bottom?

Wretched sorceress!
Where are our children?

We must not spare her

- Dissect her to pieces
- Dai Pandi

Priest

What do we do to her?

We have no option

Offering her life to God
is the only solution

Don't do!

You will rot in hell

You won't prosper in life!

STOP IT!

Whatever you want to do
don't prolong the torture

Why are you behaving
in this barbaric fashion?

Amma

Umayaal

Our priest has to pelt
the first stone at her

Start

Amma

Amma

'Stone her to death'

Lord Shiva!

Aiyo! You will rot in hell

What grave injustice you are doing
to this good hearted soul!

Hey!

'This sorceress isn't dead as yet'

She has to be hanged to death

Lend me a hand

"Sun has set, sleep with ease"

"As the owl hoots, rest in peace"

"Close your eyes, don't prolong the pain"

"Mind won't be restless ever again"

"Sleep eternally, for ties are fake"

"Forsake this world for your own sake"

Brain box you are, I say

You made your niece
kill her own mother

How will you dispose off
that small donkey?

When I could plan this cleverly
don't I know how to handle that kid?

Let her grow a bit

Accuse her of something
and make her a hustler

Brother is always right

- You drink, bro
- Pour some more

Brother, you promised me
half that forest land

Will you look into it?

- Did you leave the stove on?
- No, brother

I can smell something burning?

You are right

Something is burnt
I can smell it too

This is not the smell of food burning

Corpse

Smell of a corpse

This is not possible

Karthika has come!

No...no, please

Please...please

Please no

No

Priya

- 'Hello?'
- Priya

All the characters I read in that book
are coming alive and scaring me

What are you blabbering, Umayaal?

'Don't get flustered'

'I want to tell you
something important'

'Come home right now'

I'm coming

'I'm totally confused'

I don't understand
what's going on, Priya

I'm sitting here in a worse
confused state than you, Umayaal

What happened?

I read the missing pages
my brother gave from the archives

Oh my god!
My head is spinning

Take a look yourself

'Author: Umayaal Karthika'

Isn't your full name
Umayaal Karthika?

But how is this possible?

Even I don't get it

One of the characters in
that book is called Karthika

Her daughter's name is Umayaal

That Karthika character
possessed super powers

Oh my God!

1 minute

'Every single word of Karthika's
became an oracle from God'

'The stories and essays she wrote
turned into reality'

'God's Grace of looking into the future'

'She possessed that power'

- Do you know what this means?
- I have no clue

This book has been written
by the character Karthika

But the most cruel fact

She has written her own end
knowing very well what will happen

It's damn sad

All that is okay

But how do you share her name
Umayaal Karthika?

Maybe sheer coincidence

Okay, all this is coincidence

Let's assume all the characters you saw
are a figment of your imagination

But how can your handwriting
be ditto what's in the book?

That means?

Same name
Same signature

Can't you see?

You were Karthika
in your previous birth

Are you serious?

There's only one way to
find out of this is serious or not

You write in this book
like Karthika did

Let's see if it comes true

- What do I write?
- Whatever strikes you

'I am starving'

Give it to me

I am starving

A hot meal would be most welcome

Whaaat?

Hey!

Did you hear that?

Cooker whistle as soon as
I said I needed food

Because I kept rice for dinner
when I got back home

Write something else

Santa Claus will chase me to kill me
with a bell and an axe in each hand

How bizarre!
What a stupid note

Who is it?

Who is it?

Take that knife

Dai nutcase!
You, huh?

I'm your brother and
you're deriding me!

Why did you bang
on the door like this?

Priya is wanted at home
It's late, so I knocked

Are you coming or not?

Okay, bye

We'll continue the rest of
our investigation tomorrow

Okay, come
Enough hugging

There's food in the kitchen

Don't forget
