Police!

- Can't we do something?

- There is a plan.

You know my brother left

some money for Kunal?

Notjust some money.

... but he gets the money

only when he's 21 .

But if anything happens to Kunal...

...then the money goes to his

only relatives. That's us.

Oh, we can't do that.

Oh, so we can't do that!

lnstead l should rot in jail. Or

better still drown in the river...

... or hang myself.

But we can't do that!

Stop it!

What do l have to do?

Kunal!

- Would you like a ride?

- No, Uncle, l am afraid of heights.

Would you like to try this ride?

No, Uncle, remember l told you,

l am afraid of heights.

And l told you there is

nothing to be afraid of.

Would you sit with me?

l?

Please, Uncle... l

am afraid of heights.

Don't worry, son.

We have come all the way here,

let's try one ride at least.

Please, Uncle, l feel nauseous.

No, son, we have already

purchased the tickets.

Opportunities likes these

are rare. Sit and enjoy...

Uncle...

Uncle... Uncle!

Uncle... l am not your Uncle!

Uncle...

Hello!

Rajrani, tell everyone Kunal

died in a train accident.

Oh God, he was so young... You

should have killed me instead.

Give it to me... come on... let go.

- l want the bag...

- Even l want it...

Let go!

Get lost... you scoundrels.

Got scared!

l'm not afraid of anyone.

Good. You're as strong

as you believe you are.

What did you say?

- You're as strong as...

- you believe you are.

My mother taught me that.

Good.

Oh! Same to same.

Teached the truth.

What's a kid like you doing

in a place like this?

l came here with my uncle.

He took me to the theme park...

... and there l got lost.

Give me your address,

l'll take you home.

lt's very far away...

in the hills...

l'll tell you what.

Tonight, stay with me.

Tomorrow morning, we'll

go find your uncle.

No, it's okay, l'll manage.

Your wish! Great house...

... and lovely neighbours.

Good night!

- What happened?

- Nothing...

You should not be alone so late

at night. l'll come with you.

Getting lost is not

such a bad thing.

Sometimes we have to lose ourselves

to find ourselves.

- By the way, my name's Kitu.

- Kunal!

Let's go!

Kitu Didi!

- Come! - Kitu Didi!

Be quiet!

What is this place?

This is a warehouse, costumes and

props from films are kept here.

Why did we enter through a window?

What difference does it make?

My dear!

When people shut the doors of their

hearts, we enter through the window.

Does this place belong to you?

Kunal, for an artist the

whole world is her home.

During the day, l draw

people's portraits...

... and at night, this

becomes my home.

lsn't it wrong to live in

someone else's place?

Now you listen, old man...

it's wrong for humans

to sleep on pavements

where rich kids drive over them.

Nothing's wrong with living here.

- You live alone? - Yes.

And your family?

Kitu Didi, don't you have a family?

Forget it. Life is very cruel,

you'll not understand.

l may be small but l know

how cruel life is.

Tell everybody the truth.

What happened on that day!

what happened that day?

Tell us..

Go on, son... tell them

what happened that day.

Kunal entered the haunted house.

We warned him not to enter.

l told him bad things happen

to people who go in.

But...

Who can avoid destiny!

His death was pre-ordained.

His death was

the wrath of the ghosts.

lt's the revenge of the ghosts!

Kunal, where are your mom and dad?

My mom and dad...

on a mountaineering trip...

... they had an accident.

Kunal, do you know that

after good people die...

... they become stars. Come let's

find your mom and dad in the sky.

- Kitu Didi!

- Yes.

When there were no human beings

on earth, there were still stars.

Meaning?

There is no connection between

people dying and stars.

l may be small but l know the truth.

You talk like a wise man, but you've

not understood one thing.

What?

Sometimes we have to look at the ..

.. world not with our minds,

but with our hearts.

What good will that do?

Stars leap out of our science

books and become our friends.

The moon becomes more than

the earth's satellite.

He becomes your pal. Understand?

Wait, l'll make you understand.

No matter what, always smile

All that happens, let it go

The world may be upside down

But there's one truth my heart knows

Where joy abounds, that's real life

All that happens, let it go

Take that worry off your face

Just as you dust off your coat

May sorrow never reside ln your

heart that's pure inside

All that happens, let it go

All that happens why

it does no one knows

Why some lose, why some win

no one knows

Look at this circus called life

People walk the never-ending streets

Everyone with hope in their eyes

They stumble and fall

They know not what's going on

Argument and fights galore

They scream, their voices sore

Get it, got it? Did you?

All that happens Why

it does no one knows

Where joy abounds,

that's real life

All that happens, let it go

Every day troubles grow We

still love the world so

After all it is our home

Let's nurture it Appreciate it

Let flowers bloom

Love each other Nurture love

Make friends Sing songs of

happiness

All that happens Why

it does no one knows

Why some lose, why some win

no one knows

Deshrajji, please stay calm.

His face was so smashed.

The ghosts have claimed Kunal.

May the gods give you and

your family strength.

Please give us a private

moment with Kunal.

- That's enough, Rajrani.

They have left. - Yes.

Poor Kunal.

l will always miss Kunal.

lf you miss him, thats ok! Sir.

Sir, what if he comes back?

lmpossible. Jhunjhunmakadstrama...

... such a tongue-twister. Will

he remember our town's name?

Can he make the long journey

and find this place?

And how long do you think he'll

survive on the city's mean streets?

- There must be some confusion,

Kunal. - No, Kitu Didi. l'm sure.

He deliberately left me behind.

See, we'll do one thing.

l'm taking you back home.

l want to find out...

... what kind of person

would leave you behind?

But, if they're not happy to see

me, can l come back with you?

Kunal, l don't even have a home.

Home is where you are.

Run, Kunal!

Taxi... Station... Go! Go!

Hurry up!

Hey... stop!

Come!

Sit down. l'll get us some snacks.

Please give me a packet of fries.

When will you stop doing this,

Kitu?

Kitu Didi...!

l haven't done anything!

Kunal, don'tjump!

Go to your uncle's house.

l'll find you there. l promise.

This girl must have been

living in that godown

..for at least three months.

You've just discovered it?

Since when?

- Six months, five days.

- And before that?

- Five months at the Museum.

- And before that?

- Two months in lnorbit Mall.

Why do you do this, Kitu? This time

you'll go in for some time.

Take her away.

Thank you, Uncle... Bye!

Kunal?

Babloo! Wait for me, Babloo!

Ghost!

Ghost! Kunal's ghost!

- Have you gone mad? - l swear,

there is a ghost out there.

Give him a glass of water.
