---

l heard another girl

running away wearing anklets,

Gayathri was with me,

then who ran out?

l was trying to find this out,

you asked them to bring

Gayathri to the temple,

family members pulled Gayathri

to the temple with great difficulty,

but while returning back,

Gowri alone managed to

pull her easily,

l observed this

and was surprized,

to confirm my doubt l went to

Gowri's room that night.

Looks like you're tensed, doctor.

- What to do?

l told astrologer that Chandramukhi

isn't in Gayathri's body.

But he won't believe me.

lt seems he'll offer prayers

and prove Gayathri is possessed.

What do you think about it, doctor?

About what?

About my sister being

possessed by Chandramukhi...

l saw the shiver and

tension in Gowri's voice.

...about that.

About that?

l can tell firmly that

your sister is insane.

l can say there's no problem

of Chandramukhi in this family.

l saw a type of psychic

vibration on Gowri's face.

As you say there's absolutely

no Chandramukhi problem in my family.

Yes, there's no Chandramukhi

problem in this family.

l saw Gayathri's dance

costume in Gowri's room.

When Gayathri was sleeping

in the outhouse,

Gowri used to turn into Chandramukhi

and dance there every night,

all of you thought it was Gayathri

who was dancing in the outhouse,

but it was Gowri who used

to sing and dance there.

Why was Gowri possessed

by Chandramukhi?

One day l asked Shankar Rao about the

attitudes of girls in the family,

He told me Gowri used to be in

hostel while studying in college,

l suspected some incident would've

happened to affect her there,

l went and met her friends,

Chandrika, a friend of Gowri

loved a boy,

knowing about Chandrika's love,

her maternal uncle,

ran a car over that boy

to kill him,

and tried to marry Chandrika forcibly,

unable to escape from uncle,

she doused herself with

kerosene and immolated self.

The incident of her close friend's

death hurt Gowri very much.

To escape from it,

she started research on people who

lived long without dying young,

she used to visit library to

read about kings and emperors,

she read about the history

on Venkatapathy King,

when she starts reading

the book, she's Gowri,

but she turns into Chandramukhi

while reading it,

since Chandrika too had similar

experience like Chandramukhi,

it made a deep impact on

the psyche of Gowri,

but she signs the logbook as Gowri

in English while taking the book,

but used to sign in Tamil as

Chandramukhi while returning the book.

To know more about her Gowri went

to Chandramukhi's house in Thanjavur.

Earlier Gowri has little

sympathy on Chandramukhi,

but after seeing the painting and

her home, it turned into empathy,

she entered the home as Gowri,

but came out like a mad girl.

What you said is right.

But why did Gowri try

twice to kill me?

Though l knew there's

a problem here,

l told Gowri that there's

no problem here,

that's why she didn't

concentrate on me,

but you strongly argued that

there's Chandramukhi problem here,

that's why she tried twice

to kill you.

Then, who attacked you that night?

They were ordinary men like us,

but were sent by a gentleman,

on the day of engagement,

it was Gowri who made the

groom run away in fear,

she accepted to marry publicly,

but went upstairs alone

to scare him away,

bridegroom himself

told me about this.

Hey dog! Do you want me?

Will you dare marry me?

Do you know who am l?

l'm Chandramukhi!

l saw with my eyes Gowri

turning into another person.

Go away from here!

Go!

Gowri who came down sat

innocently as if nothing happened.

Gayathri won the painting

in a contest,

Gita's life ambition is

to paint Chandramukhi,

but Gowri turned herself

into Chandramukhi.

You've cured a mad Gayathri,

how are you going to save Gowri?

Don't worry, he saved Gayathri,

l'll save Gowri.

Will you bring the king here?

l'll conduct the prayers

near that fort not here.

l'll drive out Chandramukhi

from Gowri in that sacrifice.

Are you sleeping Chandramukhi?

Sleep well!

Your game will be over tomorrow.

l'll drive you out

from Gowri's body tomorrow.

He promised to save my daughter

and in trouble now,

who will save my daughter

from Chandramukhi now?

Father...mother...

l told you to look after Gowri,

why did you leave her alone?

Gowri is missing, father.

l searched entire home,

don't know where she's gone.

My dance costume is also

missing along with Gowri.

l'm scared.

Where would be Gowri now?

She knows Nagabhairava's place,

l'm sure she would've gone there.

Gowri's life will not be

in danger from the king, right?

Don't worry, it's not Gowri who's

gone in search of Nagabhairava.

lt's Chandramukhi who is

waiting to take revenge on him.

l managed to escape from him once,

if he sees me again,

he'll not spare me alive,

if l try to stop Chandramukhi

who wants to seek revenge,

she'll not hesitate

to kill me also.

l'll save Gowri risking my life.

You keep offering prayers to your

family deity without losing hope.

Hey dog!

l'm here to kill you!

l'll not leave you till l kill you.

Come out man...come out!

l'll transform into air...

l'll take on you...

l'll squeeze out your life...

l'll burn and reduce you to ashes...

Come...l'm hungry...

l'll finish you tonight...come...

l'll not spare you...

l'll kill you...

Take her away!

Take her away quickly!

l'll spare without killing him.

Leave me!

l must kill him!

He killed my Gunasekhar

and burnt me alive,

l must burn alive and

reduce him to ashes.

Chandramukhi, look at the fire

on his body.

ln few minutes he'll

burn down to ashes.

You don't worry.

Come...come...

Come...come...

Come...come...

Come...come...

Come...come...

Come...come...

Come Chandramukhi!

The bride groom whom you scared out

is willing to marry you. Okay?

Not only Gowri, you've made Gita

also to agree to marry.

What happened to your

love with mechanic?

Did you tell your father?

lsn't honourable to earn

honestly than swindling money?

Not only Gowri, you've cured me also.

Hereafter l'll not swindle money.

You fixed marriages of so many here,

what about your marriage?

Oh no!

l've decided.

- What's it sir?

What have you decided?

This is outrageous,

don't spoil my chances.

What did l tell you coming here?

- What did you tell me?

Didn't l promise to fix a girl for you?

She's all yours!

That's why they say marriage

and vomit won't stop once it starts.

Just tongue slip!

Come here!

Come l say!

How am l to repay my gratitude?

- l didn't do anything,

our elders said good things

will happen to good people.

People around us must be happy.

That's my aim.
