Zokkomon Page #3

Ghost! Kunal's ghost!

Window! Through the window!

Because he died in an accident

his soul is not at rest.

That's why he returned as a ghost.

God knows what havoc it will create.

Open the door! Mummy! Papa!

- Come in, you are wet.

- What happened!

Papa! Kunal's ghost...

l saw Kunal's ghost.

Oh God! He's come back!

Now what will we do? What

are you searching for?

Please don't do anything

you'll regret later.

People think he's a ghost. There's

no punishment for killing a ghost!

Oh God!

Deshrajji, did you

see Kunal's ghost?

Ghost?

Get out!

l'm a ghost.

Get out!

- Really, l'm a ghost.

l said, Get out!

- l told you no, l'm a ghost.

Don't come close.

- Get out!

Stupid boy! There are no ghosts.

Please don't throw me out.

My uncle wants to kill me.

So you are Kunal!

Please let me stay here tonight.

Help me please.

Why should l help anyone?

You don't need a reason

to help someone.

All folks are warned.

The ghost of a boy is

roaming the town.

Fools! ldiots!

They will always remain idiots!

Superstitious! They believe in

ghosts and they call me mad!

Why is everybody calling me

a ghost? - You're dead.

Your uncle has even performed

your last rites.

There are two kinds of

people in the world!

Those who make others fools

and those who become fools.

Don't follow me. You'll regret it.

Leela, l have to leave

this place soon.

l need to get home.

- Home!

Yes, Leela, l have to leave this

place by any means possible.

Kunal must be waiting for me.

Magic... just magic.

How dare you! What

are you doing here?

Get out of here!

Magic... Uncle, just magic.

l'm not your uncle and this

is science, not magic.

Don't call science, magic!

l am sorry. But l know this

is a laser projection.

So?

Laser means:
light amplification by

stimulated emission of radiation.

There is no place for

science in this town.

Get out of here or you will

become just like them.

But you too live in the same town.

l don't live in the town! l

live in this haunted house!

Go away!

Don't show your unlucky

face again. Go away!

Why do you think this ghost

has come to haunt the town?

To wreak revenge on those that

troubled him when he was alive.

They never forgive.

This is the revenge of the ghosts.

Revenge of the ghosts!

Where are you going?

l'm leaving.

- You're going nowhere.

l'm leaving.

- You're not leaving.

l have to go. Kitu Didi will

come to take me away.

Kitu Didi! Even in your sleep

you were muttering about her.

Nobody is coming here.

- She will come. She promised.

Don't go. l can show you how

to get even with your Uncle.

l don't want to get

even with anybody.

My Uncle and Aunt don't love me.

The teachers in school are cruel.

l have nobody here.

Go away then! l'll fight

alone. l need no one.

He's turned out a coward

like the rest.

lf he had stayed, people would have

realized the truth about Deshraj.

This town could have been

transformed.

But, he too had no courage.

l am with you, Magic Uncle.

l never lose courage.

We'll change the face of this town.

For now you're no longer

a small boy...

... you're a dangerous ghost which

the entire town is terrified of.

Just as steel cuts steel, fear will

be used to drive away fear.

You will do this.

- But what if l get caught?

- lmpossible!

With science at the service

of a ghost? Never!

You're as strong as

you believe you are.

Listen brother, it's time to rise

To accept without a thought

is just not wise

Look, think, understand, recognize

To blindly accept is just not wise

Listen brother, it's time to rise

To accept without a thought

is just not wise

Look, think, understand, recognize

To blindly accept is just not wise

For ages the world has

been in the dark

Now you need to shine

like a bright spark

lt's been said before

and l'll say it again

When the courage is within you

There is nothing you lack

- Zokkomon? - Yes, Zokkomon!

Don't you know how to sweep?

- Come on... faster!

- Haven't you eaten?

Why are you so late? Were you

waiting for an invitation?

Son, please eat this.

lt's very tasty.

You think you're royalty! Hurry up!

l'll slap both of you now. Can't

you see the dust in that corner.

Polish it so well that

anybody looking..

..at the statue will be impressed.

Sir! Our Deshraj sahib really

looks impressive.

Why not!

Craftsmen came all the way from

Jaipur to carve out this statue.

Our Deshrajji is no

less than a king.

He does not allow even a

fly to sit on his nose.

His nose is cut!

Where is his nose?

Who is it? Who dared to do this?

Who is it? Who dared to do this?

l will skin you rascals alive.

We did nothing, Sir. lt

happened by itself.

How?

Sir, from that corner... the

rascal is hiding over there.

l'll get him!

Please come, Sir!

We will get him! We

won't let him escape!

Be careful, Sir!

Check there!

Sir!

Help... help!

Ghost!

- Sir! What happened? - Ghost!

From up, from down.

Stop!

How was l born? Where am l from?

What will l do? Who am l?

l am your inner voice,

l am Zokkomon.

Listen carefully ...

... because very

soon we shall meet again!

Sir, the ghost... he's

going to come again.

He will come every day.

Shantaram, stop crying! Go home

and keep your mouth shut!

There is no such ghost.

He's an imposter.

Papa, it's Kunal's ghost!

l've seen him.

Go to your room now!

Go away now. Ghost! Ridiculous!

lf people come to know

that Kunal is alive,

..then it will be the end of us.

People will only know

if he remains alive.

My name is Zokkomon!

Magic Uncle, you should have

seen his face when he saw me.

When they were hung upside down.

Stop being childish, will you,

there's lots of work to do.

- But l am a child. - Not anymore.

Now you're Zokkomon.

Madam, please let me go.

There's a little boy who

was living with me.

l don't know what he's going

through and where he is.

l'm begging. Madam,

please l need parole.

Madam please, listen to me.

please madam....

How many times have l warned you

- don't touch any of my stuff.

You never mentioned that you are the

renowned scientist Dr. Vivek Ray!

Shut up!

Why did you come to this town?

And why didn't you try to

educate the town folk?

- None of your business. - No, Magic

Uncle, you will have to tell me.

Fine. Don't tell me. Now even

l don't want to support you.

l left everything behind

to come here.

Because this is my home town.

l built a laboratory, tried to use

science to improve people's lives.

But Deshraj was threatened.

He wanted the town folk to stay

superstitious, fearful.

lt helped his scams.

- Long live. - Swamidev Baba.

Deshraj used Swamidev Baba well.

They both plotted against me.

Why are you not helping me?

Nobody can help you. This

is the wrath of the Gods.

l could have dealt with

Deshraj all by myself...

... but so long as the town

folk remained superstitious,

Deshraj would keep fooling them.

lt was impossible to keep the truth

or science alive among these people.

So l retreated into
