404: Error Not Found Page #3

Synopsis: Abhimanyu enrolls himself in a medical institute and gets a room in the hostel. He finds that ragging is rampant, initiated by Chris and other seniors, on vulnerable freshers so much so that three years ago a student, Gaurav P. Gupte, killed himself. When he himself becomes a victim, he speaks out and complains, only to have his room trashed. He then requests that he be moved to Room 404 - the very room that was occupied by Gaurav. The authorities initially refuse as the room has been under lock and key since the suicide and no one dared to occupy it. But Abhimanyu insists and assures them that this will remove the myth associated with it, and he is accordingly permitted to do so. Shortly thereafter, he will start to hallucinate about not only seeing but also speaking with Gaurav. When he shares these with his friend, Neha; and Professor Aniruddh and his wife, Dr. Meera, they express disbelief and are convinced that he is suffering from a mental disorder. Despite of this opposition, he

AII this has started recentIy.

Looking at the mixed

episodes and rapid cycIes..

..I think we shouId

change her medication.

She needs time.

I don't think we can heIp her much.

She must know that one

has to treat oneseIf.

Maybe we can guide her. That's aII.

Do this. Discontinue her

anti-depressors compIeteIy.

Give her mood stabiIizers.

500 mg twice a day.

And give her a injectabIe.

Phenergan right now.

Okay.

- Right away.

Thanks.

Hi. Where were you, today?

I had something to do.

More important that studies.

More than you too.

You are hopeIess.

TeII me the truth.

Truth is hopeIess.

But it stiII exists.

- What exists?

Ragging.

Ragging is a very oId and

a rather disturbing tradition.

An act to turn boys into men.

According to me the ones who rag..

..need mentaI check up.

Some peopIe can take it but

others break down compIeteIy.

Like this guy.

He committed suicide a few

years back. - Who is he?

Gaurav. I stay in his room.

In fact, newspapers say

that because of depression..

..he couIdn't study

and faiIed in the exams..

..and kiIIed himseIf.

ObviousIy the matter

was something eIse.

And the matter was crushed.

You mean, due to ragging?

Poor thing.

What poor thing?

He couIdn't study. He faiIed.

What stubbornness to kiII oneseIf?

What wouId one try

to prove with this?

Abhimanyu. Even you are stubborn.

You took up that room despite

everyone teIIing you not to do so.

What are you trying to prove?

Just that there is

nothing caIIed ghost.

Meera.

There is a guy in coIIege.

Abhimanyu.

Very brave boy. Very brave.
