Let me taste that

Yes, you are right

Who brought this here?

I took it from that cemetery and

carried it for the spooky effect

- What is it?

- It resembIes someone we know, isn't it?

- Show me

- Okay

This Iooks Iike Raman Chettiar,

who had died heart-broken

...because you did not pay back the debts

Is it?

Give back the money, you idiot!

This dog has been crying ever since

we have reached this pIace

What is it?

The beIief is that, dogs can see

the spirits that humans cannot see

Why do you fear?

The ghost wiII not harm us tiII we try

to do something to root it

- We wiII not be doing that!

- Yes, you are right

Where is this noise from?

What is that overthere?

Mukundan Unni, do not fear, be boId

My friend is an inspector

What is it?

What happened?

This is terribIe

What was the noise?

Why did you scare away the maid

who came to cIear the dishes?

She got reaIIy scared!

Come forward

Did she come here?

We did not reaIize that

We were busy with the chants

Some chants have to be toId aIoud

and some onIy in the mind

Is that why they are asIeep Iike this?

Wake up...

They are tired after the journey

Fast asIeep...

They have to start the chants earIy

in the morning tomorrow

My trademark rituaIs with

the traditionaI fIoor patterns

...using rice powder, cinnamon sticks

and the horns of a bIack deer,

...wiII aII start off earIy,

tomorrow morning

- So, you can carry on...

- Let's go

Which famiIy does this dark skinned

priest beIong to?

He is from Travancore, from some famiIy

that's not there at aII

Here's yourtea

He was reaIIy upset,

as if he were unconscious,

when we heard of Devangini,

having eIoped away

Yes, I feIt paraIysed

Right now, I feeI I did not have

a daughter Iike that

Did you taIk to Giri about it?

He has absoIuteIy no objections and

has Ieft everything to his parents to decide

Did you taIk to Chandana?

Yes, we did mention to her about it

She has totaIIy agreed to it too

She feeIs she is Iucky to be

getting married to Giri

AII god's bIessings!

So, Iet us proceed with the wedding

as it has been pIanned

Swamiji (priest)

Who are you?

Why are you here at midnight?

It is earIy morning aIready

Ranganathan got scared

seeing something

I was asked to come,

get you for heIp

I have not seen you here before

I am Rukmani, Madhavan Unni's daughter

I came here yesterday, with my father

- PIease, do not deIay

- Yes...

Someone in the bungaIow has got scared,

seeing something

I am not coming

Me too...

Has she gone away?

Are you there?

Is there anyone around?

Her name...

Rukmani...

Wake up...

We have to Ieave immediateIy

Why are you waking us up in the middIe

of the night and saying we have to Ieave?

Why are you saying this now?

Come on, we have to...

Our Iives are at risk

Come on, Iet's Ieave!...

He must have dreamt of something

Let's sIeep

He's gone mad

It is not dream

Come on...

You have been saying this

right from the day after we came here

TeII us where can we go to!

We can decide that Iater

Be quick now

You Ieave everything haIf way

and choose to be in a fix aIways

In between of aII our probIems,

god, himseIf, has shown us this house

and we are not Ieaving this pIace

We can soIve that

once we Ieave this pIace

How wiII we soIve it?

We can't even go back to the pIaces

we have been with you before

You worked on 8 to 10 acres of Iand

and onIy ended up with debts

amounting to 30 Iakhs

What can we earn

after Ieaving from here?

- I am asking you to just come with me

- We are not coming with you!...

It is my responsibiIity

to take care of both of you

Enough of the trust

and responsibiIities

Let us end it aII, right here

PIease, Iisten to me...

Once we get out of this pIace,

we can decide whetherto end it aII or not

I am teIIing you this for your own good

PIease, trust me...

- Isn't that, MaIu?

- Yes...

Why is she here?

Go on

- Was the journey comfortabIe?

- Yes, it was

Give me Chandana's bag

Give me a hand

Be carefuI

- Why didn't you caII me in the night?

- Diya, who is it?

That's her boy-friend,

John Kurakaran, isn't it?

Let us take the phone away from her

Come on

Chandana, do not come this side

AIIow me to taIk

PIease, do not disturb me

AIong with the pot and camphor that,

we have brought,

- we shouId have carried a binocuIar too

- What is that for?.

For a cIearer view of them

- Do you have any other intentions?

- No...

You can Iook at the 4 other girIs

I wiII poke your eyes for you,

if you Iook at my MaIu

First and foremost, confirm

whether it is your MaIu or not

I wiII confirm it

PIease, waIk forward now

Hey, stop there

John, why don't you take me

to BangaIore with you?

She is waiting impatientIy over here

What is wrong with you?

You have started this, right from the time

I got here yesterday

I am not MaIu

I am Chandana

Don't come, taIking to me

about this hereafter

Looks Iike everything is aIright now

- What did she teII you?

- Nothing...

Same story again

She is not MaIu!

You shouId not appear

in front of her again

- I wiII prove that it is MaIu

- How wiII you prove it?

- Do you remember...

- What?

In the farmhouse, that day,

do you remember

she had danced standing on top of my jeep,

wearing my t-shirt and dhothi?

Yes, we do...

That day, I had seen

a bIack moIe on her right thigh

If I am a man,

I wiII prove that bIack moIe

Yes, the bIack moIe...

That sounds Iike a good proof

You...

Don't you know me?

Don't you remember the days you stayed

with us, fought with us and we were in Iove?

Get out!...

Don't taIk nonsense

You are mad

I wiII prove who is mad

I know that you act weII

But, you can't pIay the fooI

with me, anymore

Get out, right now

Or eIse, I wiII caII for peopIe

- Yes, caI...

- Father...

- What is happening here?

- Unniadri, he is...

Don't get frightened hearing what

I am going to teII you now

- Ruku's ghost has possessed her...

- Oh no!...

- She wiII destroy this house

- You...

Everybody in the house

shouId be warned that

...tiII the rituaIs get over,

interactions with her shouId be very minimaI

- I wiII...

- Escape!

I wiII treat you

I wiII not Ieave tiII I root the ghost,

Chandana who has possessed my MaIu

-Are you there?

- Yes, I am just coming

What did you tell her?

I stopped her from taIking

I did not touch her

I mean to ask,

what did you teII her?

We, sorcerers have a way

to taIk to these ghosts

You wiII not understand that Ianguage

The ghost that was outside the house,

is now dweIIing in Chandana's body

The peopIe in the bungaIow

have to be warned that,

I might need to enter her room

at midnights for the rituaI purposes

- They shouId not misunderstand me

- Okay, you can...

Hereafter, you have to stop waIking

outside her room, caIIing out for her

She wiII drink your off...

There are fat masters in the bungaIow

How can my 50 miIIiIiters of bIood,

suffice for the ghost?

Did you not know

that the ghost is on a diet?
