404: Error Not Found Page #6

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

TeII him to wait outside.

Listen, it's his finaI year.

Take it easy

Come on, give me the cards.

- Take this too.

Anurag, keep them in your room.

SherIey, pIease pass it. - Wait

a minute. - And keep it carefuIIy.

SeriousIy it's right.

- Fantastic, Young men. ExceIIent!

Burn them! Erase them!

What is that? Show me.

''Ragging must die.''

- Sir..

What's up? I heard you got scared?

To whom wiII you compIain now? Yes?

You used to roam

around boasting a Iot.

Sir, I request you..

- Quiet.

Why are you acting as Fanne Khan?

Sir, I am not pretending to

be Fanne Khan.. - Shut up!

So? You were going to

overcome our fear, right?

Have you reaIized now

what they are.. - Dammit!

Come on, forget it.

Come on, Iet's have tea.

Mustafa, come on.

- Mr. Pandit, wait a minute.

Hey, brother..

- Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Look, brothers, there wiII

be no ragging from today.

Ragging is done to

the coIIege students..

..and not the schooI

going chiIdren.

You are right! ChiIdren!

How sweet!

AII of you have touched my heart.

Thank you very much.

ScoundreI! They are up to a drama.

He makes them do a drama.

What do you say?

his Anirudth uncIe too

wiII be pIeased

He wiII distribute chocoIate to

the chiIdren. Make the preparations.

panditji, get the chiIdren

posters pasted here.

I wiII get the posters pasted.

What the heII is this,

Chris? Rs. 1 750?

Come on, panditji,

I wiII pay your biII.

You wiII have to.

I won't spare you today.

What about the wine worth

Rs. 1 7,000 which you have drank?

It's fantastic, Dr. Vaidya.

You have taken strict

measures against ragging.

Yes, but these seniors

wiII never improve, doctor.

Have you heard that proverb?

Even if you try to straighten

a dogs taiI for 100 years..

..it wiII stiII be curved.

Now they are making

the juniors do a drama.

Isn't the other dramas

in the coIIege enough..

..that they had to do aII this?

I can see it.

Come on, the seniors are happy too.

I have aIready toId you,

it is Chri's mischief.

Now teII me, what shouId

we do about Abhimanyu?

He stiII insists that

he shouId be aIIowed to stay there.

I beIieve that we shouIdn'tjoke

around with the ghosts and spirits.

No one has seen God too.

But he does exist.

The saints and sages have seen him.

Weakness of mankind, doctor.

peopIe have fear of even God.

It is the insecurity of

the humans. What eIse?

You must be joking.

What shouId I do about Abhimanyu?

Look, I stiII suggest that..

Sir, I am reaIIy

embarrassed about yesterday.

Don't be siIIy.

What is there to be embarrassed?

Can I use your Iaptop?

- Of course.

AII yours.

Look, I am showing you an experiment.

It is an athIete's experiment.

Look at this.

He is hypnotized in a Iab.

And he was toId during

the hypnosis..

..that he is participating

in a race.

under hypnosis his

muscIes started responding..

..in a manner they wouId

have respond in an actuaI race.

His brain was unabIe

to differentiate..

..whether this race was in

reaIity orjust his imagination.

The same thing happened

with you too.

When the mind

undergoes immense pressure..

Things get exaggerated in perception

The mind cannot differentiate ..

..between reaIity and iIIusion.

The criticaI mind is knocked off.

Do you know an interesting

fact about the human brain?

It can't absorb more than 400

to 600 message units at a time.

It simpIy gets taxed.

Right, ma'am.

Look, it is important to

change that state of mind.

How wiII he change

his state of mind?

Why do you want to stay

in that room?

Ma'am, actuaIIy..

- What do you want to prove?

What's the use of Iiving according..

..to the expectations of others?

It's your Iife, right?

- Right.

You have to Iook after

yourseIf first. - But, ma'am..

In fact I wouId say

that you Ieave that room.

Look, I too beIieve that you

shouIdn't stay in that room.

But if the reason is going

to be ghost or something..

..and if you are Ieaving it

because of that, then I don't agree.

Because in the first pIace,

we started the whoIe thing..

..with a thought that we

shouId overcome your imagination.

Anyway, I want to

share an interesting quote.

Some person wrote it.

Big man. It's worth hearing.

Because of any

incompIete work or sudden death..

..the souI doesn't attain saIvation.

And they stay in this

worId amongst us. Forever.

Come on!

I mean in a way, every

death is a sudden death.. and

..every person who dies Ieaves

some work or the other incompIete.

Right?

Itjust doesn't make any sense.

Except one that it is important

to overcome our doubts.

Yes, sir.

Sir! Sir, I wiII

stay in the same room.

I quite Iike the new batch.

Yes. So do I.

Quite a view, isn't it?

CharIes, I think we

made the wrong decision.

I agree.

What's the use?

It has aIready

happened once in this coIIege.

Reputation after aII

we don't have to..

Look, Meera, it was a

case of acute depression.

And basicaIIy ragging triggered it.

I'm not dead. The room is mine..

Ieave my room

Abhi.

Hey, why are you creating

this noise?

What's wrong? You

are not in the cIass?

Is everything fine?

Sir! Sir, do you think

spirits exist?

They are. They are avaiIabIe

in a variety. Rum, vodka, whiskey.

Sir, I mean even after death..

Look, son, there is

something which peopIe beIieve.

TiII I don't see it with my own eyes,

I wouId just Iike to beIieve that..

..there is no such thing.

Sir, have you ever seen Gaurav?

I have. I have seen him niceIy

when he used to study in coIIege.

Have you seen him after his death?

It is you who have seen him now.

Because of your ragging.

You too beIieve it.

And what if I have seen

him without the ragging, sir?

I don't want to know aII this, Abhi.

Sir! Sir, did you see?

What did I see?

- Gaurav.

Gaurav?!

Where?

- In the refIection.

Hey! Stop this! Stop this!

Stop it. I am teIIing you.

Listen, give one ezethromicin.

And give caIpoI for fever.

And for throat.. for the throat?

Dammit! What name

did Dr Vaidya mention?

Okay, do one thing.

Mr. Pandit.

Who had come to my room?

Who has kept Gaurav's things here?

Is it the work of the seniors?

Look, Abhi, whatever the

seniors Did to you was wrong.

No one wanted this to happen to you.

The joke turned serious..

- What if it is Gaurav..

How can it be Gaurav?

Why not, Mr. Pandit?

I have seen him..

Gaurav is dead.

Gaurav is just your imagination.

Abhi,

try to understand.

Gaurav is aIready dead.

Abhi.

He is there.

Do you see him too?

It is not necessary that

aII what exists, Can be seen.

Abhimanyu, do you

understand what you are saying?

Yes, sir.

What can I say?

I am simpIy disappointed.

Sir, earIier even

I was a non beIiever

But sometimes we have to

change our beIives, sir.

What?

- I am sorry, sir.

But what's the harm in

Accepting the truth?

I mean you don't Ioose anything.

There is harm.

I am Ioosing a briIIiant

student Iike you.

Sir, beIieve me.

I have spoken to him.

I have seen him, sir.

We were wrong. We were wrong, sir.
