Completely skipped my mind.

It is in my car.

Ask them to collect it tomorrow

Okay, sir

Sir, it seems they want the camera tonight

The required files are in it

for their competition tomorrow

They worked so hard for a month

They are cribbing their heads off

Ask them to come home and pick it up

Come in

Which college?

CMR sir

Why are you so tensed?

I will give it to you

What is your film about?

Fregoli delusion, based on that condition

Name?

- Name of the film, sir?

Prathi, a reflection

Tomorrow is the competition

And you say the files are

still in the camera today

There would great process later, right?

We have taken the final output copy sir

Just for safety we were

shooting an alternate climax

Whatever! If such an expensive

camera is confiscated...

...you know it is tough to get it back

- Sir

I will return it

I do not have any problem

But you did not shoot any girl

What is the guarantee you shot only a film?

Sir, we took only four shots last night

Before we could shoot today

the watchman grabbed it from us

If you want we can...

...show you what we took

and then take it, sir

Are you ready?

Just a minute, dude

Lighting has gone for a toss

Hurry up!

- Are we shooting in Red, just a digital cam?

Do it fast

God! You come just to disturb us, huh?

Hey buddy, a cool chick!

Auto bro, Please move Ok, ready

When did you say you came here?

I reached at 6:
30 am sir. By the time I reached

Approximately, it must be 6:45 to 6:50

Hey, focus correctly dude

A white car, sir. I know only that

When did you shoot this video?

- 11:
00 pm, sir

The time you went to the apartment

- 10:
30 pm, sir

We shot for half an hour

Then it started raining heavily

Around 11:
10

- I think so

We left by 11:
10 pm, sir

Was that car parked there when you came?

- Yes, sir

Take out that card

Other than the girl did you see

anyone else go into that flat?

When we reached there and

we were preparing, we saw a man go in sir

Any snap or video of him?

The guy doing our making video

Call him- Now?

It is okay, call

Keep trying, he will not

pick up immediately

Low battery in my phone

- No problem

Rajaiah

- Tell me, sir

Give me Gautham contact number

One minute sir

Sir, please note it down?- Yes

- 9952885733- 9952885733

And one more thing, do not get me wrong

Do not take off till tomorrow evening

Report to duty in the morning

Ok sir, that is no problem at all.

I will come sir

Dial that number

Nice ringtone

- Who is this?

My mistake, on the very first day I believed

you will recognize my voice

Sir, sorry sir. I could not make out

your voice on phone

It is ok. Did you enquire in that area?

I knocked at

all the doors, sir

There is not any Mano

who will fit our sketch, sir

Is there anyone else

by that name?

There is one Manoranjan in house no 10 sir.

He is not of eve teasing age. He is 86 years.

Do you feel I am making you work

too hard on your very first day?

No, I am feeling a thrill immediately

I joined in job sir- Excellent

Then I do not need to take permission

to make you work overtime, eh?

I did not get you sir.

- Nothing, I got an important break

I called you to ask your opinion

Come home right away

Okay, sir, I will be there in 20 minutes

My address is

Do not fuss too much

Your camera is safe

Sir, address- Rule one In excitement

should not miss important details

Ok?- Sure sir

Take it down- Yes sir

No 3, 4th street, Ramnagar

- Ok sir. I will be there

Mufti or uniform, sir?

- Mufti is fine- Ok sir

Do either of you intend

joining the Police force?

No, sir

You should have seen

the reaction of those 2 boys

Having stumbled on a clue

I got so hyper

Those boys were quite terrified

Your tea is getting cold

- I know

There is still some time left

What did you infer

from this video?

Vaishnavi is hiding

something from us, sir

You do not have any doubts

on the car parked outside the apartment?

That newspaper chap said

he saw a white car, right?

I think it is too early sir. It may also belong to

someone else in the apartment, right?

Why would the resident park it outside then?

- Point- I do not drive in the night

Call Vaishnavi

She just went out for a walk, sir

It is 10:
00 p.m now

She went for a walk at this hour?

I thought it is 9 sir. She left a while ago

Whole day she was

quite disturbed

She said she may feel better

if she went for a walk

Okay, give me

her mobile number

Give my mobile dear. 9442355521

Hello Vaishnavi- Hello

- Yes, Inspector Deepak here

What happened, sir?

Luggage of Vaishnavi is here, right?

She brought just 1 bag and

She has kept it inside

When is the last bus to Guntur?

One at 10:
15 p.m and

another at 10:
30 p.m, sir

Let us go

- Yes sir

Someone was waiting in front

of your house for a long time

Who?

Whole day she was

quite disturbed

She said she may feel better

if she went for a walk

I am not sure, but I think it is him

10 days ago

That girl was riding a scooty

She almost banged into our car

She apologized and accepted

it was her fault and left, sir

When did you last see that girl?

-10 days ago when this happened

Why would the resident park it outside then?

- Yes, point

She might have booked her ticket

in some other name and escaped, sir

If we trace her with mobile number...

...we can nab her before dawn

Tell me, sir

TS 38AW 7436 Collect details of this car

and let me know

Do you suspect anyone at this stage?

Yes, sir

But only guess and not confirmed

It is okay, tell me

When I went to investigate

in Ambedkar Nagar...

...most houses complained

only about one chap

Praveen

Some said he is very rude

Some called him an womanizer, sir!

My theory now is...

...Shruti wanted to

complain against Praveen

The three of them stick together

There is a possibility

of a name mix up by Shruti

This is from my personal experience

Even if they are the best of friends...

...they will not share some

secrets with anyone

Without Madan and Manos knowing...

...Praveen could have stalked Shruti

Hey, stop

Where are you going at this hour?

- To the police station, sir

What are those wounds?

Am I the only one in the dark

or are you as clueless?

You usually have

a ready explanation

What about this?

Hey, how many times

have I told you?

First stop getting flustered

This is not as serious

as you make it out to be

Okay, listen to me without

interrupting or getting nervous

Some chap has witnessed

our accident yesterday

In that mess, we ensured

the trunk was locked

But we did not press

the central lock button

So he must have followed our car

And after we entered our house...

...using the driver seats lever

he must have got the body out

Whoever did this...

...is expecting a ransom from us

In case we refuse to oblige...

...he will be in the mindset to

take this matter to the police

Boss

Need to talk to you in

private about something

I have told you

we do not want newspaper
