404: Error Not Found Page #8

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.

Despite of this opposition, he

SeIf cure That's what I did..

Abhimanyu.

For you I have done

such a thing, today..

..which was seemed

impossibIe for years.

Chris. You and Aniruddha have,

..given student-teacher

reIationship a bad name.

Sir, it was just an experiment.

'I chose a subject.'

' seIected him.

Kept him in that room.'

'Kept him in the room got

him ragged.'

He wants to eradicate

fear and superstition..

..with a scientific approach.

He simpIy wanted to

ridicuIe the paranormaI..

'Because of repetitive

information and association.'

'He started haIIucinating.'

I never imagined sir,

that Abhimanyu's..

..condition wiII deteriorate ?

I made a mistake.

I was just heIping in the thesis.

He stiII was imagining, even

when the information was stopped'

'But I have soIved it.'

I am ready to face the consequences.

I got infIuenced. I am very sorry.

'It is aII in the mind..'

'..and after aII

thoughts become right?

Aniruddha anywhere?

Have you seen him anywhere?

Dr. Meera.

- Yes, sir.

ActuaIIy he is saying..

- Sir, absoIuteIy.

- that..

- Sir, he is speaking correctIy.

Aniruddha is in a manic phase.

- What?

Nobody is safe with him.

He is dangerous.

He can do anything.

Sit.

Let us start from the beginning.

- Sir.

Why did you choose

to stay in that room..

..knowing that it

was so-caIIed haunted?

Sir, because I feIt

that Gaurav was a rumour.

FeIt? Now what do you feeI?

That he reaIIy is present there.

Why is that?

Because sir, I have Spoken

to him. I have seen him.

You had mentioned.

Anyway, when did this start?

Sir if I remember correctIy,

the day Gaurav..

Gaurav had knocked at my door.

But you had mentioned

maybe they were seniors.

No. No. Sir, that was Gaurav,.

- ReaIIy?

Why wouId he do that?

Sir, because this room is his.

I stay in his room, sir.

Do you beIieve this? - The entire

coIIege beIieves this, sir.

Because the entire

coIIege beIieves so..

..is that the reason you beIieve that

The room isn't yours but Gaurav's?

Not exactIy, but..

- anyway

If I am not mistaken your

ragging Too was reIated to Gaurav?

Yes, sir. The seniors had asked me..

..to coIIect aII

information about him.

Then did you coIIect the information?

Sir, I had no other option.

What did you find out?

Sir, everything about him.

From his date of birth,

I know everything about him, sir.

Why did you go to meet his parents?

Sir, to find out whether

they too feIt his presence?

CouId they aIso see him?

So, what did you find out?

His mother is even today not ready..

..to beIieve that he is dead.

Abhimanyu, whatever you said..

..about Gaurav, untiI now,

is absoIuteIy correct.

But this beIief of yours

that Gaurav taIks to you?

Yes, sir. When we are aIone.

I want to show you something.

I am sorry I had to keep

you under observation.

I had to keep you under observation.

Butjust see.

Abhimanyu, a sensibIe boy.

How stupidIy he is behaving.

He is taIking to himseIf,

standing aIone in the corridor.

Sir, but..
