the haunted house.

Where people feared to enter. Where

l could keep science alive.

And l waited for the right time.

Zokkomon has come!

Sir, now what should we do?

The ghost has come back.

- What nonsense you're speaking!

- No, Sir.

Where is he?

There's no one here.

There's no one here.

What are you staring at?

Deshraj... is a thief.

Who has done this? Speak out!

l have done it.

Who are you?

Zokkomon!

Zokkomon, if you have the

guts, show yourself!

Go home. Shantaram,

send them all home!

Children, go home now.

Go away... move.

You received half a million

rupees for a new library.

Where is the money Deshraj?

Show yourself you scoundrel.

Sure! Come downstairs Deshu.

Get out.

Stand back... get out of the way!

Show yourself, you scoundrel!

l will swallow you up.

Just as you swallow up

the money meant...

...for mid-day meals for children!

What are you doing here, go

to your classes immediately.

These kids will have their

class right here...

... where Zokkomon will teach them

how to fight for their rights.

Shut up.

Where are you? l am warning you,

my fury will burn you.

Oh, looks like your fury has

set your pants on fire!

Fire...

Your game is up! Just watch

as l reduce you to dust.

Prepare for war, my friends.

Each child in this town

will soon be Zokkomon.

Zokkomon!

Through the darkestjungles

and highest mountains

Arose a call The darkness

will soon fade

And in every alley and every lane

The new day will shine bright

He roused us up from our sleep

Taught us that we can if we believe

He planted the ray of hope

Hear his name

Zokkomon

Think defeat and you've lost

Believe victory and you've won

That's my creed, it

gets everything done

lnjustice and persecution

if it exists

We won't bow down to it

We may be small but

it doesn't matter

We have the courage,

the will to go on

We have the courage,

the will to go on

lt's now up to us The

change is ours to bring

He planted the ray of hope

Hear his name

Sir, do you have any answers?

Mr. Deshraj must address the

questions that Zokkomon has raised.

Or else we might get into

trouble because of him.

Deshraj needs to clarify

all our doubts.

- Shut up... be quiet. -

We will not keep quiet.

Please stay calm.

l'm sure you all understand, first

l lost my brother and his wife...

... and now my darling Kunal.

How can a man who has faced

so many tragedies speak.

That's enough! Now l know.

Let me enlighten you'll. l went into

a deep trance and realized...

... this is no ordinary ghost.

There's a ghost in the mike.

There is someone who wants to prevent

Deshraj from doing good work.

Thus through black magic and

other dark energies...

... he has sent a dark soul in

the form of Deshraj's nephew.

So that you all are cheated.

But do not fear, l have

a solution to this too.

Very soon, l will perform some rites

and destroy this dark soul.

- All hail...

- Swamidev Baba!

- Long live...

- Deshraj Kumar!

Oh Zokkomon, tell us what to do

to placate your angry soul!

What should we do so that

you rest in peace?

Rid yourself of all your fears and

superstitions and l will leave.

Punish scoundrels like Deshraj

for their wrong deeds...

... and you will not need me.

Rise and speak, break your silence.

This is all Zokkomon has to say!

Look, Sir, what the newspaper says.

ln a small town called

Jhunjhunmakadstrama ..

..something strange has taken place.

A ghost named Zokkomon is bringing

about a miraculous change.

The town folk say...

Deshraj and Swamidev

Baba fled that day.

We trusted them blindly.

We were wrong.

l was returning from the market,

a black cat crossed my path...

... so l stopped.

But then my children said let's go,

nothing will happen...

... so l carried on. And actually,

nothing happened!

Zokkomon has cast a spell

on all the children.

All they talk about is science.

Zokkomon is our friend!

Since Zokkomon has come,

going to school is fun.

l will do anything for Zokkomon!

lf the children praise him, then

l'm sure Zokkomon is truly great.

Because of Zokkomon, children

now want to go to school.

They are no longer afraid

of the teachers.

Because now the teachers

are afraid of Zokkomon.

l have lived all

my life in Jhunjhun..

..and have never witnessed

a miracle like this.

lf they had the guts, why didn't

they answer Zokkomon's questions?

l would like to bless Zokkomon..

.. from the bottom of my heart.

Long live Zokkomon!

Diwali is being celebrated in

Jhunjhunmakadstrama..

..with a new fervor.

He is a ghost! You went

ahead and killed him.

And he turned into a ghost.

You are a liar. You are a murderer.

- We will be ruined.

- Shut up and stop this nonsense.

Only l will truly celebrate Diwali.

Rani, what's wrong?

l'd enjoy it if Kunal

was alive and here.

l've told you a hundred times

you can't wander around like this.

Magic Uncle, l know Zokkomon

can't celebrate Diwali.

But Kunal wants to celebrate Diwali.

Kunal wants to play.

What childish nonsense.

The real Diwali is

the victory of good over evil...

... and that's what we're doing.

This Diwali has no meaning.

l want a home.

We have a home.

A roof over our heads...

Food to eat. Books... laboratory...

What else does one need!

l want Kitu Didi.

Your Kitu Didi will not come.

She'll come!

Without you l feel lost

Every moment l think of you

l can't seem to sleep

What do l do

For so long l've been alone

Every passing moment so hollow

Every heartbeat seems to ask

Where have you gone

How l miss those days

And the starry nights

Every moment a beautiful memory

Your every word sweet as honey

Why is it so

l have to be without you

l wait for you

To bring back the time we shared

Hear me if you can

Come back to me

Happy Diwali, Kitu Didi!

- How far is the town from here?

- Whom do you want to meet?

He's a small boy. His name

is Kunal. Do you know him?

He is long dead. His ghost has

turned this town topsy-turvy.

Excuse me, do you know him?

Kunal...

Get up. Let's practice.

l don't want to go anywhere.

l want Kitu Didi.

Forget about Kitu Didi. Let's go.

Start practising.

Up...

Higher.

Kitu Didi!

Kitu Didi!

Thank you, Magic Uncle.

- Got scared! - l'm

not afraid of anyone.

Good.

Then we set my uncle's pants

on fire!

Then Magic Uncle took me to a great

height from which l swooped down.

Come on Kunal, we have to

plan for tomorrow morning.

What's happening tomorrow morning?

l'll tell you...

Tomorrow Kunal will risk his life

again, and fight your battle for you.

- My battle?

- Yes, your battle.

For which you have used Kunal.

This is notjust between

Deshraj and me.

lt's not such a petty battle.

This is Zokkomon's battle.

The truth cannot be hidden

by noble phrases.

The truth is that you have

put Kunal's life in danger.

For the town folk, Kunal is dead.

Now you want Zokkomon to die too.

- Zokkomon cannot die. - Why?

By wearing this costume,

he stops being human?

Yes.
