The other one is the

neighboring government quarters.

Then there are few huts.

The laborers at the tea

estate come to work

from the village at

the base of the hill.

Sir, there is a place

just like you asked for.

It's called 'Kazhugu Paarai.'

It is located 20 miles

away, toward south..

It's deep inside the forest.

With falls all around,

it's quite beautiful.

Ok.

Why is there no mobile

range at all here?

Sir, this is indeed

a bit out of range.

You will get some mobile signal over

there at the government quarters.

So tell me...

It's been two days since I arrived,

but you never turned up.

Sir, I had been to my native.

I returned today after one week.

Sir, what would you

prefer for breakfast?

Nothing. Thanks.

I'll set out early

in the morning.

- Post that, I'll be busy with my work.

- Ok sir.

You...

come back after couple of days.

Ok sir.

What did you say that

place is called?

Kazhugu Paarai.

Oh! It's you Mr. Jeevan.

A car was spotted

getting into the woods.

Everyone at the check post were

concerned that it didn't return.

Which is why I am here to check.

Fine, what are you doing here?

Well, I came here to get some

privacy so that I could write.

Fine, forget it. You

must be careful.

Come, let's go.

What is it?

Why do you look tensed?

Well, that?

Something has punctured my car tyre,

Sir...

the roads are bad here. Something

must have pierced through.

No way.

This looks very fresh.

I have a doubt.

Is there anyone here except us?

Sir!

There is no one in 10 km radius,

except for the three of us.

This is reserved forest area.

Some wild boar

must have done it.

Now come on. Let's go.

No way. This doesn't look

like a wild boar's job.

You heard me!

We have been here for

years now and we know!

You are already an offender,

having stepped into this forest.

Got it?

Come on sir.

You! Get the car

fixed and return.

Sir, hand me your

car keys please.

You! Here you go.

What is it Jeevan sir?

You still look tensed.

Nothing like that.

By the way, who was that fellow?

What's with his creepy

way of looking?

He cannot speak.

He belongs to the local tribe.

He takes care of petty

jobs for us and...

keeps wandering around.

A very honest and

genuine fellow.

Even better than us.

How do you know Kathir?

Kathir?

He often visits the forest.

I guide him around.

In the process...

we became good friends.

6 years of friendship.

My booth is nearby.

I'll walk my way to it.

You take the jeep.

It's ok sir. You

don't have to do it.

This is actually Mr. Kathir's jeep. I am

driving it just to keep it from rusting.

Cars don't work well

in such forests.

You may use this. Return

it to me when you leave.

Come on now. See you.

What's going on here?

I am your wife!

And it's been 3 days

since you spoke to me.

Writing might be your passion but...

you are more important to me!

Won't you pay heed to me at all?

Have you noticed, how

much you have changed?

Do whatever you want

with your life.

But do not forget that

we have a life together.

Stop it now! What life

are you talking about?

We must create our own life!

Look Jeni! I have just started

to find a rhythm to my story.

I don't want to miss it.

You could've killed

me yesterday!

Nothing more to talk.

I hate the very

look of this place.

So you better start.

Look here.

I don't even mind if

you are idle at home.

Listen to me.

Ain't I earning? I

will take care of you.

Jeni...

I gave it a good thought.

Like you said...

let's return to our home today.

You get ready. I

will pack my things.

Jeni?

Jeni!

Did you see my mobile?

You misplace it and then ask me!

How would I know?

Hey!

Where's Juliet?

She must be somewhere around.

Why don't you look for her?

Yes! I forgot my phone at the

place where I went yesterday.

It has all the

important contacts.

I'll go get it. You be ready by then.

Sounds good?

I'll be back soon.

Be safe.

Hi.

I am Pooja.

We live nearby.

Heard that someone had

come to stay here.

Earlier, I came here twice.

But the house was locked.

It was today morning

I noticed you.

I thought I will just drop in

and invite you for a coffee.

Please come in.

This dress suits

you really well.

Thank you.

Where are you from?

Basically from Kambam

which is nearby.

But settled down in Chennai.

How long have you been pregnant?

Six months.

My husband works here

as the dam supervisor.

He leaves in the morning and

only returns by midnight.

Since there is no one

to take care of me...

I've asked my mom to

come down for help.

Have you come here

all by yourself?

What about your husband?

He is here. He has stepped out.

He will be back soon.

Ok. Fine.

Really glad to have met you.

Please do come to our house sometime.

Bring your husband too.

Ok. Sure.

You won't find

mobile range here.

You will get some signal at our house

and we've got a landline phone too.

Please feel free to come down

if there is any emergency.

Sure.

- Thank you.

- See you.

Thank you.

What took you so long?

Sir, your car is repaired.

I've sent the keys with the

person carrying this letter.

- Thomas (Forest guard)

Ok. Thanks.

Just a minute.

You are heading back to

the forest guard right?

I'll also join.

Sir, lift please.

Sir, lift please. Sir, lift.

Sir, lift please.

Sir.

Madam.

Mam! Mam!

Mam. Excuse me mam.

My vehicle broke down. I've

been stranded here for 3 hours.

No one is around to help.

Can you please help me mam?

Please madam. Please.

- Fine. Get in.

- Thank you mam.

Madam, who are you?

I am Mr. Jeevan's wife.

What is it madam?

He left to the place he had been to

yesterday, in search of his mobile.

It's been 3 hours

and he is not back yet.

I am worried.

Don't be worried madam. Place he went

yesterday? That's Kazhugu Paarai.

I'll go check. You leave. Don't worry.

- Well...

- I'll take care of it madam.

Ok sir. Thank you.

There is too much mist.

Please drive carefully.

Ok.

Who is he?

He was stranded on the way as his vehicle

broke down. So I gave him a lift.

I'll take care of it madam.

You may leave.

Oh. Fine. Thank you.

Sir.

Please come.

- Ok madam. Drive carefully.

- Ok sir.

Where are you Jeni?

I've been trying to reach

you since morning.

I am at Meghamalai.

Why are you there?

Jeeva is here to write his novel.

I came down to see him.

He just won't change!

Can't he do something

better with his life?

You are being too

liberal towards him.

If this goes on, then remember

it'll put your life in jeopardy.

Joseph please!

That is not the

problem right now.

What happened?

Jeeva hasn't returned

home since morning!

I am worried.

Can you please come down.

Where did he go?

You stay safe. I will

start right away.

- Also, Jeni...

- Hello?

- Don't step outside. Stay inside.

I'll be there in 2

hours. - I can't hear you.

Your voice is breaking.

- Hello, dear brother?

- Hello?

- Jeni?

- Do you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

- Hello?

- Jeni, can you hear me?
