Purana Mandir Page #2

Synopsis: Suman lives a wealthy lifestyle along with her widower dad, Thakur Ranvir Singh, and an unmarried aunt, Damyanti, in a palatial house in Bombay. They are direct descendants of Raja Hariman Singh of Bijapur. When Ranvir finds out that Suman is in love with a middle-classed male, Sanjay, he expresses displeasure and forbids her to ever see him again. When she persists, he tells her that there is a curse on the entire family - a curse that was inflicted 200 years ago by a blood-thirsty, flesh-eating demon named Samri. This curse impacts only women in their family, who are hideously transformed after giving birth to their firstborn, and die a painful death. Treating this as mere superstitious, Suman and Sanjay, along with Sanjay's friend, Anand and his wife, Sapna, set out to Bijapur to unearth and put an end to this rumor - not knowing that soon they will resurrect a virtually indestructible Samri - who is out to kill the remainder of the Singh family before wrecking havoc on the region a

and it always will be

I cannot ignore the heritage

of this family

But what about

your daughter's wishes?

This child's tears

are not something that I want...

...but that vagabond will take her

away from me forever

But I won't let that happen

I won't even let his shadow

fall on her again

Why can't you

make this girl understand, Dayawanti

Make her understand,

or I dread the consequences

Who... Who are you?

I am asking you, who are you...

...that has for centuries cast a shadow

of death on this family?

How much more blood must flow?

How many more will you kill?

How many more lives?

You can't kill her. You can't ever

take my child away from me

Papa what happened?

Nothing, just go back

to your room

After today

you will never meet Sanjay again

And if he tries to see you,

I will have him killed

Don't just stand there,

get out of here

Those gone days I remember.

Those stolen moments I recall

The ones I spent with you,

warm in your embrace

That smile of yours, your blushes,

the time of December, the wet cold

What happened to those days,

where did they all go?

Only the memories remain

Those talks I remember,

the nights I remember

Spent with you,

holding you close

Wrapping yourself around me,

lowering your eyelids

Still in my heart remains

the softness of your lips

Now you've started a fire

I wonder where you've gone.

Only the memories remain

Suman, I love you

Driver, let's go

Something is happening to me...

I don't want to die...!

Save me!

Please, save me...!

Come, Suman

I return your family's honor to you,

sir

If I wanted I could have made your

lamp

the light of my hut...

But I feared that this flame might have

burnt down your palace

I'm going

Wait!

You may as well take this gun...

...and shoot both her and me

What?

I am not upset about my defeat,

I am upset at your victory

Because you will run from her

once you know the truth

The truth?

What truth, papa?

It's... It's a secret

What kind of secret

One I can't reveal

But you must reveal it

No, I can't tell you!

I can't tell you...

This secret is a curse that has

cast the shadow of death on our family

What kind of curse is it,

to become a wall between our love?

You have to reveal it Papa,

my happiness depends on it

Please tell us

All right...

Alright, if you really want to know...

So be it

Do you see that palace?

That building is such a cursed stain

on our family...

...that we could not wash it away...

...even with our own blood

Every mother, every woman

connected with this building...

...on the birth of her first baby

becomes the immediate prey of death

Papa, this is just a superstition

It is not a superstition,

it's the truth

But, sir...

Can you really believe such things,

in this day and age?

Look...

I don't believe in things

that people tell me

But I've seen this

with my own eyes!

The day Suman was born...

...this curse...

took away her mother Bharti from us

Something is happening to me!

I don't want to die...!

What's wrong?

I don't know, sir...

- I can't understand...

- What's happened to Bharti?

Go and look!

What's wrong?

If, after knowing all this,

you don't leave Suman alone...

...then I know that you don't love her

but are her mortal enemy

So you walked out on her?

You loser

What'll she think of you now?

You don't understand Anand.

I really do love Suman

I can't live without her.

Do you hear me? I can't live without her

- But if you'd heard that story...

- It's nonsense...

Just a made up story

Suman...

What are you doing here?

Sanjay...

We must go to Bijapur

Yes, to the old temple

that's the root of all our problems

No, Suman...

It's better that you forget

all about me

For the sake of my love, I'm not

prepared to sacrifice your life

While I'm alive,

nothing will happen to Suman

I am here for you

And if it comes to it,

my life is yours

You'll come with us?

Not only me,

but Sapna as well

She'll be company

for Suman

- Does your father know...?

- No...

I didn't tell him...

But I left a letter for him

Brother...!

Terrible news...

- Suman is not in her room!

- What...?

But I found this letter there

Father, I cannot live

without Sanjay

If this family curse is the barrier

to our love...

...then we will return

only after destroying it

We are going to Bijapur

To the old palace

Suman

I still say you should go back, Anand.

This is our problem

Why risk your life for us?

You're asking for a thump,

my old mate

A friend is one who gives his own

life if need be

If there's a shadow on our family,

why should we allow it to fall on you?

It's no shadow...

It's in your father's mind,

now it's got into your head too

What's up?

What is it?

A flat

See mate,

you need me after all!

If this goes on...

...we might reach Bijapur

in the next life!

Just our luck

We're dead

Why's that?

I forgot the jack

I don't believe it!

Don't worry my king!

What do you think I'm here for?

You just deal with the tire,

and I'll be the jack

Ranbir Singh!

Now it's your daughter's time!

She will suffer the same fate

as your wife

No! you can't do that...!

Dayawanti!

Take it away

I'm afraid he's had

a heart attack

He needs a lot of rest

In his condition he can't make

the long trip to Bijapur

This temple looks pretty old

Indeed

I don't feel like driving any more.

Why don't we stay here?

Alright, Suman?

Yes Sanjay,

I agree with Anand

Besides, we're all dead tired

Don't seem to be any priests

in this temple

I'm not surprised

With 200 steps

to go up and down every day

Too much like hard work

Look, Anand, this is odd

What?

This Shiva has no trident

in his hand

Right!

With no priest around,

someone must have stolen it

Right mate, now we've met God,

lets go and meet the saint

What saint?

Saint Food!

I'm starving

Mice are doing a dance

in my stomach

Suman...!

What are you doing here?

Tell me!

What happened?

It was...

I saw...

What did you see?

I saw a corpse, Sanjay...

With no head...!

It was coming at me

Sanjay it wanted to kill me

You're talking crazy

Sanjay... I heard strange noises

Strange noises

A walking corpse,

and without a head too!

Babes, there's nothing here

You're tired and had a bad dream

Looks like a local...

He must know the old palace

- I'll be right back

- I'm coming

Excuse me...

Do you know the way to Bijapur?

The palace at Bijapur.

Thakur Man Singh's palace

Do you know the way, sir?

What happened?

Strange man

He was waving that axe

like he wanted to cut my throat!

Looks deserted to me

There must be a watchman about

- You two stay here

- OK

We'll be back

Watchman! Gardener!

Anyone here?

I just saw a light over there

- Where?

- Over there

Can't see anyone

Let's go

What is it?

There's someone by the car

Anand, who is she?

Who are you?

Say something

She is dumb

My mother...

Mangli

So who are you?

Where is the watchman?

I am Durjan,

the watchman of this place
