are an interesting mix.

Step aside.

Come in.

Will you be late.

- Why you want to pee or what?

No I don't want to pee but

there is another P... Police here.

What! - Yes I swear!

What's wrong?

- The same old, Mitali's murder.

Come out please.

- Why?

He'll ask a few questions.

I feel he's been

keeping an eye on us.

Are you listening?

- It's okay.

There's nothing to fear.

I'm the daughter of a policeman too.

I've been raised by a policeman.

They don't scare me.

I'll be there soon.

That's cool.

Why are you here?

Just listening intently.

How do you know Mitali Ghosh?

No one!

Just a childhood friend.

We used to go to school together.

She got married after that.

Her father died later.

Why did she suddenly marry

Mithu Mitra? I'm taking one.

Mitali has always been

unpredictable with her feelings.

That apart, her

father was aging too.

He wanted her to settle.

She was very romantic by nature,

winding up with all the wrong men-

Like you?

Ah, no way.

With a lousy boy from her college.

Pantu Halder.

A local rogue

Lives in a shady

slum by her locality.

Unbelievable how a girl from such

a polished family eloped with him!

Her father blew up in rage.

He was a cheap bloke.

Wouldn't earn a penny.

Six months later,

our erratic Mitali returned home.

Her poor father went mad

running from one police

station to another.

That was a horrible mess.

Didn't Mithu Mitra know about this?

Of course he did.

It was the hottest

gossip in the locality.

Amidst all this, you missed

the chance to marry Mitali.

Eh?

Why? Weren't you attracted to her?

I just liked her,

you know how it is at that age.

Mitali was very drunk at the party.

It was the most amazing thing!

I was shocked!

Why?

She never used to drink.

In fact in Pondicherry she was a

part of a movement against Alcoholism.

You'll get the links

on her Facebook wall.

Strangely that night she

gulped down one peg after another.

I was a little high too...

When the party was about to wrap up

Khanika led me out

You mean the one

in the bathroom now?

Take a seat.

No that's Julekha!

How many do have?

I?

Ah, this is my stop gap.

Lucky man!

So where's Khanika?

At her place, and I'm at mine.

Actually...

Anyway,

After returning from Pondicherry...

...Mitali became very

dignified, matured, attractive

After returning from Pondicherry Mitali became

very dignified, matured, attractive

You mean sexy. Go on.

I was so high at the party,

I told her all of this.

Khanika was jealous.

Hey, but I was only

kidding! I swear!

Enraged with jealousy,

Khanika kills Mitali.

What are you saying?

Hi.

- Come here.

I'm Julekha.

Shabor Dasgupta,

Detective, Lalbazaar.

Whose daughter were

you just saying you are?

My father's of course!

Who's your father?

Vijay Sharma,

Jharkhand Police, retired.

How long have you known this man?

Around ten or twelve days,

isn't it love?

Where did you first meet?

At the pub.

May I?

Please.

Thank you.

Isn't anyone with you?

I mean girls?

No luck.

I don't see your wallet.

Can money alone buy all?

No,

but...

a lot can cook up over money.

Hi.

I'm Julekha Sharma.

Mary School

physical instructor.

Will you only ogle?

Won't you buy me a drink?

Do you keep drinking

like this in pubs and bars?

Fresh lime soda salt.

Yes...

when I feel bored.

When I need company.

I do.

Do you know Samiran

has a girlfriend?

Of course I do.

Khanika, right?

She's left him.

That's why he pleaded

me to go with him that night.

He was pale with fear!

Fear of?

Ghosts!

You're afraid of ghosts?

I've been terrified

ever since Mitali's murder.

I dread she'll come back.

Khanika's not there either.

Sleeping alone is petrifying!

You tell me sir,

how can a woman ignore

the calls of a terrified man?

Where do you live?

GM 17/4 Damzen Lane, room 14.

Hotel?

More like a hostel.

Oh my God!

I'm terribly late!

I've to rush back,

change and leave for school.

There's a fete today.

May I go sir?

You may.

- Thank you.

Bye baby, see you later.

You're sleeping

around with a hooker.

Won't Khanika kick

your ass when she finds out?

She will. But Julekha

knows this is not permanent.

Khanika is not my wife either!

She was married earlier.

Now divorced, but has a kid.

She lives with me now.

You trick women into bed

by saying you fear ghosts.

How believable is that?

I swear by my drink!

I've been petrified

after Mitali's death.

I dread Mitali will

grab me by my throat.

Mithu Mitra mentioned that

he met you and Khanika at the party.

Right. We were just about to enter.

Hey Mithu, what's up with you?

Good.

Let's go in.

Hey, what's up?

Good. Go in. - Let's go.

You go, I'll

Hey, what's wrong with you?

Everything's gone wrong Samiran.

I must reconcile.

Di, why are you standing alone?

Come with me

I must, hey listen,

Listen everybody, listen!

I must...

must confess

she was married,

she was, what?

Married.

But is not anymore!

She's free!

Free.

And I love her.

I love her.

She is...

She's stunning!

Stunning she is!

Sexy!

Look at this horny little baby.

Baby, will you...

marry... me?

Look at her...

Look at her boobies!

Get up you drunkard!

Heard you'd blackmail Mitali

by showing controversial

photos of your younger days?

What are you saying? Are you insane?

Don't get pissed.

I'm just saying it like that.

And you thought you'd get things out

She must reconcile.

With whom? You?

Why would it be with me?

cha!

I only loved her a little,

nothing more-

Let me explain.

When you knew you stood

no chance with Mitali, you left.

Then late at night,

just before Mitali

went up to her room,

You went there and lurked inside.

When she entered...

Would I be alive

after all of that? Huh?

Mitali's ghost would pounce on-

I know, I just made it up.

See, a lady's standing there.

Pick her up tonight.

The night shall pass without fear.

Goodnight.

Mr. Shabor?

Take me home. Soon!

Julekha Sharma,

father's name Vijay Sharma,

Jharkhand Police, retired.

Find out if there's

someone in your locality.

Okay sir.

Can you tell me which area?

Territy Bazaar, near Damzen Lane.

Here are the photos

of the party, sir.

Reconcile, realisation,

and what next?

Sir?

Was reading a letter about a foreigner

committing suicide in Pondicherry.

Why has the car not arrived yet?

I'll check sir.

"The boy resembled you deeply Mithu.

The moment the

realization dawned on me,

Your thought engulfed

my soul like a breeze.

I wanted to cry, profusely.

For three days now,

I haven't been able to work

You had kissed me by force

the night we got married

I was humiliated, and enraged.

Today, the memory of

the night has saddened me.

The boy who just

died was called George.

He committed suicide after

his newly wedded wife deserted him.

It's strange how everyone's

perturbed by the same emotions.

I was your newly wedded wife too.

I forsook you.

As your memory creeps in,

my insides wither
