"I want to die, only to live again."

Yes dad.

You couldn't do it yet, could you?

Dad, l..

I think you won't be able to do it.

Come back.

I Will do it, dad.

I'm hanging up.

Kunal you've been nominated

for author's choice awards.

Congratulations.

I'll see you.

...if you're with me."

"I'll forsake the world, I promise."

"No matter how many times we meet,

it's never enough."

"I spend each day with you,

but my hean isn't fulfilled."

"I started to smile

after a lifetime."

"I am waiting for you."

"I'm surrendering myself to love."

"I want to die, only to live again."

"I'm surrendering myself to love."

"I want to die, only to live again."

"Your words sound like a prayer."

"That soothes my heart."

"One can see God in

the eyes of the beloved."

"I've finally realized that."

"I now bow before you."

"Now I wait in your path."

"I'm surrendering myself to love."

"I want to die, only to live again."

"I'm surrendering myself to love."

"I want to die, only to live again."

Most people invest in

stocks at the wrong time.

Run, Tushar!

Close it!

No!

Let's go.

What you just saw..

...is what had attacked before

and you thought, it was some..

...wild animal or panther.

Actually, it was

a 'Brahma Rakshas' (Demon).

'Brahma Rakshas'?

What the hell is that?

You will find its mention

in the local folktale.

Of course, there's a detailed

mention about it in our scriptures.

You can even read

it on the internet.

It's called the 'Brahma

Rakshas' because.

...it's a curse levied on people..

...who swore to dedicate their

entire life to Brahma, i.e. God.

But they couldn't

control their bad nature.

And infested by their

greed or selfishness..

..they committed

a unpardonable crime.

Something like a rape..

...or a murder.

But what was this curse.

The curse was that he won't

be allowed in Heaven or hell.

He won't be human or demon.

His soul will never

attain salvation or solace.

His soul will stay

imprisoned in his body.

And his body will slowly morph..

...into a dangerous creature,

befitting his deeds.

And it won't have

any element of humanity.

Basically it will

turn into an animal.

Without any human

left inside of him.

But what's fascinating is..

..the more he eats...

...the more his hunger grows.

Of course,

those who gave him this curse.

...didn't know that

his insatiable hunger..

...will force him to target humans.

You two may be wondering that,

though I'm a zoology professor..

...I'm speaking about such

old and whimsical fantasies.

But you'll be surprised

to know that.

...scientists are the

most fascinated, by fantasies.

Because a fantasy

is nothing but a fact.

...that is waiting to be discovered.

But if 'Brahma Rakshas' exist.

..then why hasn't anyone seen them?

Because those who

saw a 'Brahma Rakshas'..

..aren't alive anymore.

And, no one believes

those who are alive.

Just like spotting a UFO.

Or a ghost story.

What mistake did we

commit that he's here?

What wrong have we done?

It's not your fault.

But yes, a mistake's been made.

What do you mean?

The highway construction

workers made a mistake.

There's a solution to every problem.

And similarly,

there was a solution.

...to keep 'Brahma Rakshas'

away from populated areas.

A red thread was tied on

the banyan tree outside the village.

To curtain the powers

of the 'Brahma Rakshas'.

Just like a 'Lakshman Rekha'

These construction workers..

...uprooted many

of those banyan trees.

And made that demon more powerful.

So, Professor,

how do we get rid of this?

What can we do?

Nothing.

Because there's nothing

that you can do.

Just save yourself and run away.

As soon as the conditions stabilize,

we'll inform you..

..but, in the meantime

be thankful that you're alive.

And please go away,

as soon as possible.

Just shut this hotel down.

Please, just shut this hotel down.

Ahana.

Shall we go, Ahana?

I am not going.

Hey!

What are you saying?

This time I won't run.

I came here fearing

the creatures in the city.

I can't be scared by the creatures

here and go back to the city.

There's no choice but to fight.

I am here.

Only one of us will survive.

You..

Or me!

Hello. - Hello.

This is the chairman, Mr. Raman.

Hi.- Hi.

Thank you for seeing

us at such a short notice.

But Mr. Raman wanted to

see you as soon as possible.

I understand, please sit. - Yes.

It's a bit strange, Ms. Ahana,

but.. what to do.

Our bank has invested

a huge capital in your venture.

I understand.

I am really trying to fight this.

Since you've trusted me so far..

...please have a little more faith.

I wish we could do that.

Rawat.

What is this?

It's a order.

What?

Para 3 clause 12.1!

It clearly states,

that if at any stage..

..the bank feels your hotel's

making a loss or liable to..

...the bank will take over

the management of the hotel.

And that's exactly

what we're trying to do.

What do you mean?

You're threatening to

evict Ahana from her own hotel.

Look, mister.

It's nothing personal, alright.

It's business.

- No, this is not business.

It's blackmail.

Look, I'm only demanding

what's written in the agreement.

And I am sure...

Ms. Ahana must have read

the agreement before she signed it.

Right?

I did, but I guess you

people didn't read it properly.

But doesn't this

agreement also state.

...that you'll give

me a 10 day prior notice.

...before doing anything like this?

It does.

So, Mr. Rawat, ask him to

get off my property immediately.

And don't show me your

face for the next 10 days.

Fine, Ms. Ahana.

We'll come on the 11th day.

But don't forget.

That day you won't

just evacuate this hotel..

...in fact, we'll sell

every piece of this property.

...and recover our interest.

So till then" all the best.

Let's go, Rawat.

Yes.

Bloody vultures.

They are vultures.

"But I'm not a dead body yet.

If my hotel was operational..

...you wouldn't have to

go through this inconvenience.

So you didn't go back.

I tried, Professor.

..but running away

seems more difficult.

On one side I can hear your words.

..that, this is beyond my limit.

And on the other, I can

hear the screams of the people.

...who came here trusting me.

And I couldn't save them.

I've realized that this is my fight.

And if I leave it,

then I might survive..

..but, I'll never

be able to sleep again.

Sorry.

There's an important

meeting going on inside.

Sir's busy.

He said he's sent

the report to Shimla.

As soon as the Wildlife Trust of

India receives orders from Shimla...

...they will form

a team and inform us.

Can't we just meet him, once?

I am sorry.

Officer Rana,

even we understand these excuses.

But the question is..

..whether you want

to help is or not?

"My head's on fire."

So this is your meeting?

And you don't have time

to listen to people's complaints.

Who are you?

You can't just barge

in a government office?

Who let you in?

Rana, how did they get inside?

We're inside now.
