Go to sleep

Are you alright?

What happened to her?

Her body started shivering

after the sudden stiff

She fainted before I could hold her

Did she have this problem earlier?

No, she used to be healthy

Does anyone in your

family have this symptom?

No, nobody in the family has it...

I can't understand how she got this

Don't worry

I suspect epilepsy but not sure

Your daughter's symptoms are

similar to epilepsy.....

but the diagnosis should be confirmed

after a neurological test.

Something....Something

...is burning

Where are you going!?

Something is burning

Dr. Joshi explained me about

your daughter

In their age group due to

nervous weakness

Schizophrenic symptoms are common

Patient would behave strangely then

She said something is burning!

I can't confirm without testing fully

Is there any danger for

anyone who stays with her?

Why are you asking that?

No.....

Doctor...

Mini had a friend called Lakshmi

She was killed cruelly some days back!

Nobody knows how it happened till now

Even though your daughter

maybe mentally ill,

there's no reason to label

her as dangeours...

Lakshmi's death may be coincidence

No, I haven't told you fully

Yesterday she tried to kill me

I am scared

What is your name?

Full name?

What are you studying?

How is your study going?

Not bad...

Do you attend the college regularly?

Yes.

Sometimes I bunk the class

And go to cinema with friends

Do you have many friends?

Yes!

Why did you kill your friend Lakshmi?

How do you know that?

Someone told me this

Why did you kill her?

She was your best friend..

Why...?

She forced me to do it...

Who!?

Who was forcing you?

Who...

Madam, neighbouring

house servant said

Sometime back someone was

murdered here

An old woman in that house knows all

It may be the effect of evil spirit!

Better you meet that old woman once!

Seven years back..

...a man died in that house...

..many people came to stay in that house

But nobody stayed for long!

That house owner used

to stay with a lady

She was not a good woman

But both of them loved each other!

Yesterday you too..!

Not that

One night....

Suddenly she disappeared!

Nobody knows what happened to her

And what occurred there

Police also couldn't find out

His corpse was found after some days!

Nobody knows......

.....how he died!

Surely that evil spirit is

haunting your daughter

In Palakanama a man called

Sharji is there

Meet him immediately

Only he can save your daughter

Madam, Sir and doctor took

Mini baby to hospital

What happened to her?

Nothing to worry, it's just for testing

I am Mini's classmate Deepak

Mini is not feeling well, meet her later

-I know that

Some days back both of

us went on a picnic

I saw a change in Mini

on the way back....

I want to talk about that

Do you know the place Palakanama?

I know the reason...why

you came here...

My daugther.....

is in the hospital now

Problem is not with

your daughter!

But your house!

You stay here

Dad......

What happened to me?

I am scared

No daughter....

Nothing happened to you

Where is Madam?

She's gone with the

Palakanama sorcerer

To fine out a cure for Mini!

What?

Is she mad!? What is all these!?

Let her do her part.

She is also worried!

Meanwhile we'll do

our part...

Sir

A call from the factory...

Tell me

How many....

Take them to hospital...

One worker has died

in an accident in the factory

Mini is alone and Saradha

has taken the car

Take Bunty upstairs

-OK Sir.

Dig here

Deepak. I am scared

Take me from here!

I am scared very much!

Take me from here

Take me from here....

I'm very scared...

Let's go somewhere....Deepak.

Dad!

Doesn't she know what

has happened?

I will continue my

treatment for 10 days.

See you.

Bring her to clinic

on Monday morning

Take the coffee!

But these things..

..why did they happened!?

We put the light....

in the dark nights

But that light goes only

to some distance

We tend to believe

that the things which

we see in that

light is the world

But we tend to forget the

infinite dark around it

We don't know the hidden powers

Beyond that light in the darkness

We should be careful about that

Mysterious darkness....

which is unknown to man

Who knows..

..man may find about that

darkness in the future

Is Mini here?

Bring Bunty for breakfast

Take your seat

Let's have breakfast
