"Thanks, Dad." "Thanks for coming." "Hey, it's my pleasure." "It's a beautiful place." "Looks more beautiful in the rains." "It rains all the time." "By the way, how did you find this place?" "It took me 6 hours to get here from Delhi." "This place is not that famous." "Yet, I found it." "You know I'm talented." "That you are." "And it's right in the middle of the jungle." "Amazing." "Yeah, dad." "That's the specialty of this place." "Middle of the forest." "Glendale Forest Hotel." "It's beautiful." "It's a Boutique Hotel, dad." "Meaning?" "Meaning it's not like the regular hotels." "Lesser number of rooms, but every room is unique." "And less staff, for personal attention." "This is going to be my reception." "Reception!" "Very good flooring." " Yes." "Nice." "I'm going to make this into my dining room." "And you did all this by yourself?" "Without any help." "Yeah." "I'm so proud of you." "Come." "Wow!" "The guest rooms are this way." " Nice." "And I will design every guestroom myself." "I had no clue you were an interior designer too." "You know me, dad." "Dad!" "Hello." "Contractor Fateh Singh speaking from Chandigarh." "Fateh Singh, when will the Christmas decorations be here?" "Sorry, madam." "It took me really long to arrange all the stuff." "The vehicles have just left for your hotel." "It will be there by morning latest." "You can check it thoroughly." "Thank you and sorry." "Okay." "Ganesh." "Where are you?" "How much longer will it take?" "First of all I'm in the middle of a jungle." "And secondly, the contractor's been calling me." "We need to deliver the goods at Glendale hotel by dawn." "Okay, fine, fine." "Hurry up." "Hurry up." "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Higher." "Higher." "Careful." "Is this right madam?" "Higher." "Yes." "Ma'am." " Yeah."

"My pleasure, ma'am." "From everyone at the Indian Global Bank, for you." "Thank you so much." "And there's one more thing." "This." "It's so sweet of you, thank you." "Ma'am, this is your first hotel." "We at the bank wish that.." "..soon you open a chain of hotels under the same name." "Thank you so much." "And think of only our bank for investments." "Of course." "Knock on wood.." "Hope it all happens." "Yes, ma'am." "Oh wow, is that real?" " No, that's not." "But we can organize a safari for you'll." "Wow!" "Can you imagine we were in the same school, same class.." "..sitting two benches apart from each other." "Still we never spoke with each other." "Went to the same college.." "..we even had common friends, yet we never spoke." "That's really sweet." "Finally, I think we spoke at Regal Cinema, near Connaught Place." "When I had two tickets.." "..and my friend ditched me at the last moment." "So we saw the film, went for a coffee.." "..and then decided to have dinner." "And three weeks later we were engaged." "Three days back.. marriage." "Wow!" "This is our honeymoon suite." "Wow!" "So pretty." "The best for you." "So sad." "Why?" "Because I'm going to keep the curtains closed." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "What's the problem?" "Ma'am, I am trying my best, but I can't fix this oven here." "He didn't fit it properly in the first place, ma'am.." "..how do you expect it to work?" "I've been telling him from Day1." "So why don't you fix it." "Madam, with your permission can I take it to the company?" "Your company will take 10 days to fix this." "And the party's today, idiot." "Madam, tell him to behave otherwise.." "Otherwise?" "Relax, guys." "We don't want fight here." "You go, I'll call the company." "Go on." "Rajender." "What will we do if the oven isn't fixed?" "Ma'am, I can make a cake without the oven." "But it'll be a sponge-cake." "Please make it." "I knew when I hired you.." "..I'm hiring the best chef in the world." "What's this, Deep?" "Why are the curtains so short?" "Ma'am, they took measurements of room no. 10.." "..and made curtains for this room." "They thought the measurements for both the room would be same." "God!" "Fine." "Go to my room." "Get the curtains and fix those here." "Okay." " Go." "You too." "Ma'am." "Yes." " Ma'am, that contractor from Chandigarh called." "He was saying that the truck's met with accident.." "..and he can't deliver the goods on time either." "God!" "Why is it all happening today?" "Call up Mr. Gupta." "Make all the arrangements from right here." "The guests must be on the way." "We can't cancel this party at any cost." "Yes, ma'am." " Go." "So you're finally here." "What?" "I've been trying to call you for 2 hours." "Your phone's switched off." "That's not the way." "And you're alone." "I am still alone." "I mean.. your musicians, band instruments?" "You're the singer, right?" "Sort off." "I can sing a bit." ""Sing a bit?"" "It's my hotel's opening." "And it's a very special day for me." "For me too." "I can already hear music in my ears." "Okay." "If you want to rehearse, the hall's that way." "My papa used to say, that.." "..a home is not just made of beautiful walls.." "..but also from the people that live in it." "Before today, this place was in ruins." "But now you've made it lively again." "All of you turned this ruins into a beautiful forest lodge."

"Yeah, Kunal Anand." "And I'm an idiot." "I know you're a little embarrassed." "Not little." "Very!" "Why didn't you tell me that you're not a singer.." "..but a guest instead." "Look, I knew you mistook me for a singer." "But, I also knew that your musicians were late.." "..and you're upset about your party tonight." "So.." "I kept mum for a while only to bring a smile on your face." "Thank you." "Come." "Let me show you your room." "Come." "Was this the only part of the body you could find?" "Will I take the rest of it home?" "I sent you whatever I could find." "Just tell me which animal did this?" "So that we can make our report, and send it to our superiors" "It's difficult to say that." "What do you mean?" "I mean there is no leopard, panther.." "..lion or cheetah behind this attack." "Because they don't have a jaw this big." "The difference between the teethes on the side.." "..is between 9-12 inches." "But the distance here is much bigger." "And, the force applied.." "..to sever this part from the body is much more." "Come Rana." "This doctor's either a big fool, or he's too smart." "I suggest we shut down both the cases." "Right?" "And we'll mention some lion or cheetah in the file." "Sir, the doctor was saying.." "..it's not a lion or cheetah, it's something else." "Something else?" "Do you have any name or whereabouts of this "thing"?" "No, sir." "So what do you expect to do?" "Do you want to wander in the jungle.." "..and stick your head in his mouth?" "Will you?" " No, sir." "Then?" "That's why I am telling you." "Lift your pen and jot down few lines." "Close the case." "Come on." "I know he'll come back." "Humans can forget his past." "But he'll never forget it.." "..nor let anyone else forget it either." "That thing lying inside is just the first body." "There will be many more bodies." "I had warned you.." "..against cutting down the Banyan tree!" "But no one heard me." "But no one can stop him." "Only thing you'll hear in the jungle now are screams." "Screams of innocent people." "Go away!" "You will all repent it." "He won't listen to anyone." "He will spare no one." "Sir.." "He'll spread chaos." " Sir, what's he saying?" "Pay heed to my words." " It's nothing." "He's uttering nonsense." "Ignorant fool!" "Sir, what if an innocent life is lost.." "..because we didn't take an action?" "Come on, let's do something else, baby." "Something more fun." "Something more fun is okay.." "..but, only if I can understand this map." "So there you guys are." "Everything that you need for a picnic." "Thank you so much." "Now that you're here, please help us out." " What?" "Can you please tell us which is the best route for trekking.." "..because this map is very confusing." "Okay, I'll help you." "There are two treks here." "The longer route leads to a waterfall." "And the shorter one leads to a campfire site." "And I think this one is right for you guys." "Campfire, baby, please." "Whatever you say, baby." "We're here for our honeymoon." "So we'll go on a private picnic, right." "You're so cute.." "Okay, guys." "Get a forest." "We shall." " Okay." "Thank you." " Enjoy." "Come, let's go." " Bye." "Follow me." "Where to?" " Come on." "Hurry up!" "This way." " This way." "Listen, this way." " Okay." "This is so beautiful." "Just like a postcard." "Thank you, Baby, for getting me here." "I am so glad.." "..that we didn't go for one of those usual London-Paris types honeymoon." "I am extra-happy." " Why?" "Because there's no place to shop here." "Otherwise you would be shopping all day.." "..and I would've followed you around carrying your shopping bags." "What's the point of coming this far.." "..when you're still glued to this cellphone?" "It's an alarm." "Alarm?" " It's the last day for your antibiotic." "You didn't remember." "So I've done that for you." "My nutcase husband." "I love you." " I love you too, baby." "Now, all the fruit juice that I drank, I need to.." " Yuck!" "You always have to spoil the moment, don't you?" "Look, I can either spoil the moment or.." "Shut up!" "Just go." " Okay." "Have your medicines, I'll be back." "I love you." "Arjun." "Arjun." "Arjun." "This is not funny." "Arjun!" "Oh my God!" "Somebody help!" "Somebody help!" "Hello, dad." "Did you do what you went there for?" "No, dad." "But I'll get it done." "Actually, it was evening by the time I got here." "Who are you making excuses to, son?" "Me or to yourself?" "No, dad." "It's nothing like that." "I know, it's not a easy job.." "..but my experience says, either you do it now or never." "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" "Yes, i'm understand." "Take care." "Can I come in?" " Yeah." "Sure." "I hope I'm not disturbing you." "Please sit." "Is everything okay with your room?" "Anything I can do to help?" " Yeah." "Everything okay." "Room is perfect." " Okay." "Ahana, there's something I want to say to you." "I.." ".. I am not like your other guests." "I've come here with a purpose." "You tried to hide it, but I know." "What?" "I know you're Kunal Anand, the famous writer." "And you're here to write your new novel." "My receptionist told me." "She's a big fan of yours." "So.. you were saying something." "Yes." "Ahana.." " Excuse me, ma'am." "Ma'am, there's a call from the hospital." "Hospital?" " Yes, ma'am." "Ma'am, the forest department officials.." "..have admitted someone in the hospital." "And they think it's one of the guests from our hotel." "Ma'am, patient is seriously injured." "My God." "Tell them I am coming." "Okay ma'am." "You see doctor, it's difficult to catch this thing." " Yes." "We cannot do anything about it." "Do you get it?" " Yes." "Excuse me, I am Ahana Dutt from Glendale Forest Lodge." "Someone called about our hotel's.." " Rana!" "Speak to her." "Go, speak to him." "Come." "So I was saying.." " Yes." "I am from Glendale Forest.." " Yes." "Is this napkin from your hotel?" "Yeah!" "We found it on the victim." "That's why we called you." "Can you identify the victim?" "Yeah, sure." "Come." "Take down their statement." "Oh, God." "Is she a guest in your hotel?" " Yes." "Shruti." "What happened to her?" "Well.. she was attacked by a wild animal." "Could be a leopard." "She was married recently." "Newlywed." "Her husband, is he okay?" "Husband?" "There was no one else with her." "We found her alone." "She was partly unconscious." "What could've happened, Kunal?" "We'll have to inform the victim's family." "You must have her phone number or address in your records?" "I'll call at the hotel and get it." " Thank you,." "It was my fault that, I let my daughter come here." "I had told them." "Go to London, go to Paris." "Wherever!" "But no." "They had to come here." "You know why?" "Because people like you give huge ads in the papers." "Make huge promises." ""Come to Heaven on Earth."" "What you really mean is "Come to hell"." "You ruined my daughter's life to make a few bucks." "You have killed my son-in-law." "You and only you are responsible." "Are you okay?" "Shall I call a doctor?" "What happened was terrible but, it wasn't my fault, Kunal." "If I had any clue.." "..then I would've never let them go there." "For everything that I have in this world.." "..if the people find out, who's going to live here?" "And how will I repay the bank's loan?" "If this hotel shuts down, then I'm finished." "That won't happen." "God will never let you lose anything." "God!" "Sure!" "When God didn't help me out in Mumbai.." "..you think He'll help me in Glendale." "He's already snatched whatever I had." "He can do the same again." "What do you mean?" "Ahana." "Talking is any day better than taking these anxiety pills." "My papa says, that.." "..speaking your heart out doesn't take away the pain." "But the feeling definitely lessens." "Come on." "I lost my mother in childhood." "My dad meant everything for me." "'He was my everything.'" "'My dad, my best friend, my confidante.'" "'We were very happy together.'" "'We had an old bungalow in South Mumbai..'" "'..and some builder wanted to raze it down and build a shopping mall.'" "Think about it." "'But dad didn't want to sell it at any cost.'" "'He used to say that..'" "'..no one sells their family portrait for any price.'" "He didn't accept this deal." "'But they were businessmen.'" "No!" "'Dad's emotional talk had no meaning for them.'" "'Gradually requests turned into threats.'" "'And when threats didn't work, they started scaring us.'" "'They would either disconnect our electricity or telephone line.'" "'But dad didn't lose courage.'" "'He kept fighting.'" "'But they knew, that dad didn't need money.'" "'So they created the need.'" "'They used political pressure..'" "'..and got dad fired from his job.'" "'Not just that.'" "'They made sure that he didn't get a job anywhere else.'" "'A man can stand humiliation from others.'" "'But when he loses respect in his own eye..'" "'..he's completely shattered.'" "'I saw dad die a little each day.'" "'And then one day, that courageous man.." "..lost..'" "Ahana." "I am just a psychiatrist for others." "But I've seen you grow up." "I'm like your mother." "Look, in such situations.." "..keeping to yourself only does more damage." "You can share anything with me." "After dad's death.." "I was shattered from within." "I can't fight the world now." "I'll sell my property to those builders and go a new place." "Where I won't have to fight anyone?" "And what if you face problems in that new place too?" "You'll shift to a different place again?" "Running away from problems is not the solution, Ahana." "You have to learn to fight." "I know.." "But.." "I don't have the strength to fight." "I've decided." "Fine." "I don't want to pressurize you now.." "But yes.. you know it, if you want share anything.." "..I am just a call away." "These are Alprazolam pills." "It'll help you fight anxiety." "Thank you." "One more thing." "The urge to commit suicide is genetic." "Whatever you're experiencing, thinking right now.." "..is taking you in that direction." "Don't ever go there." "I know you are strong." "Ahana, if we live in our past, it makes us depressed.." "..and thinking of the future makes us restless." "So you should live in the present." "Because the present is beautiful." "There's nothing wrong in it." "That's sweet." "Finally we agree on one thing." "The Forest Department is helping us." "They will soon find a solution." "But as long as that's not done.." "..I would request all of you not to wander in the forest." "If we can't go in the forest.." "..what's the point of staying in this hotel?" "It's just a matter of few days." "We're really sorry for this inconvenience." "I'll wrap up this as soon as possible." "Hey you.." "You're doing a great job." "Don't worry." "Amit." " Yes, boss." "We'll be also making rice cakes and lentil for breakfast." "Ready the coconut chutney." " Okay, boss." "Hello." "It's me." "Your beloved." "Your love." "How's the kid?" "If the kid's ill, then take her to a doctor." "Wife, don't trust the newspapers of Bhopal." "They write nonsense." "Don't worry about me." "I never venture out of the hotel." "My duty's in the kitchen." "Look after yourself, and the kids." "Okay?" "Amit, pick up the phone." "Amit, please pick up the phone." "Pick up the phone." "Amit, pick up the phone." "Oh my, God." "How are you?" "I am fine." "Have you sent the sari to Sarita?" "Don't worry at all." "Take it on credit." "Don't worry, we'll cut a few trees and pay you back." "You'll get your money." "Don't worry at all." "See you in the evening." "Don't forget to arrange for booze." "I'll talk to you later." "Excuse me." " He worked in your hotel, didn't he?" "I heard he was your cook." "Yes." "That's alright, madam, but first tell me.." "..what was he doing in the jungle late at night." "He didn't venture into the jungle." "Don't you understand.." "..that animal's ventured into my hotel." "Your hotel.." "Have you found rest of the body?" "Can't you see?" "This is the body.." " Sir." "What more.." " Sir, please." "Ma'am, we're looking for it." "We'll find it." "Soon." "Is that panther behind this?" "Listen to her." "How would we know who was behind it?" "You think the panther will leave his visiting card behind." "Excuse me ma'am." "Mr. Rawat from the bank is here." "Okay." "Please come." " Thank you." "Hello, Mr. Rawat." " Hello." "How are you?" "Good." "Tea, coffee?" " No, thank you." "Have a seat." "Ahana, I'm really upset about what happened." "First the honeymoon couple, and then the cook." "I mean, this isn't good for your hotel's reputation." "And you know people come here to enjoy the forest." "If they can't venture into the forest, then.." "The Chairman thinks.." " I understand your concern." "Look, this is a setback for us as well." "But please assure him there's nothing to worry about." "We're trying our best to solve it soon." "Right, right.. that's exactly what we wanted to hear from you." "Thank you." "Thank you for your assurance." "Okay, I'll take your leave." "Okay." "Thank you, Mr. Rawat." " Bye." "Ahana, I've a way out of this." "I've some friends who can sort this out for us." "I'll just have to make few phones calls.." "..and some arrangements." "Can you trust me?" "Truth isn't what you see.." "..on Discovery channel or the internet." "If you see them up close.." "..these wild animals can be very cunning.." "..and very dangerous." "Thank you." "By the way, the forest officers are not at fault." "They aren't even well-equipped to defend themselves." "If and when they are attacked." "You get just one chance to shoot." "And when you do, you need to be fully prepared for it." "Ahana, I'll be lying if I say.." "..I can feel exactly what you're going through right now." "But I promise you one thing." "I will leave no stone unturned." "Nagesh." "Professor." " Yes." "Here you go." "When I was interviewing that girl.." "..my assistant recorded the conversation on his phone." "Just for a backup." "There's a copy in here." "Thank you." "Most welcome." "How do I explain what it was?" "It wasn't human.. or animal." "It was 10 feet tall." "It was huge." "It had a long-broad tall, like a lizard." "Long and sharp teeth." "And strange eyes." "He.." "This is no lion or cheetah." "It's him." "He killed my husband." "It's him." "Ahana ma'am." "Come quickly." "The hunters have got the panther." "Oh my god, this is the same panther." "My photo is here.." " Wait..wait.." "Shall we take our photograph." " Yes of course." "Are you old enough to take a picture?" "Thank you, God!" "This is not fair." "I do all the work.."

"..is what had attacked before and you thought, it was some.." "..wild animal or panther." "Actually, it was a 'Brahma Rakshas' (Demon)." "'Brahma Rakshas'?" "What the hell is that?" "You will find its mention in the local folktale." "Of course, there's a detailed mention about it in our scriptures." "You can even read it on the internet." "It's called the 'Brahma Rakshas' because.." "..it's a curse levied on people.." "..who swore to dedicate their entire life to Brahma, i.e. God." "But they couldn't control their bad nature." "And infested by their greed or selfishness.." "..they committed a unpardonable crime." "Something like a rape.." ".. or a murder." "But what was this curse." "The curse was that he won't be allowed in Heaven or hell." "He won't be human or demon." "His soul will never attain salvation or solace." "His soul will stay imprisoned in his body." "And his body will slowly morph.." "..into a dangerous creature, befitting his deeds." "And it won't have any element of humanity." "Basically it will turn into an animal." "Without any human left inside of him." "But what's fascinating is.." "..the more he eats.." ".. the more his hunger grows." "Of course, those who gave him this curse.." "..didn't know that his insatiable hunger.." "..will force him to target humans." "You two may be wondering that, though I'm a zoology professor.." "..I'm speaking about such old and whimsical fantasies." "But you'll be surprised to know that.." "..scientists are the most fascinated, by fantasies." "Because a fantasy is nothing but a fact.." "..that is waiting to be discovered." "But if 'Brahma Rakshas' exist.." "..then why hasn't anyone seen them?" "Because those who saw a 'Brahma Rakshas'.." "..aren't alive anymore." "And, no one believes those who are alive." "Just like spotting a UFO." "Or a ghost story." "What mistake did we commit that he's here?" "What wrong have we done?" "It's not your fault." "But yes, a mistake's been made." "What do you mean?" "The highway construction workers made a mistake.." "There's a solution to every problem." "And similarly, there was a solution.." "..to keep 'Brahma Rakshas' away from populated areas." "A red thread was tied on the banyan tree outside the village." "To curtain the powers of the 'Brahma Rakshas'." "Just like a 'Lakshman Rekha'" "These construction workers.." "..uprooted many of those banyan trees." "And made that demon more powerful." "So, Professor, how do we get rid of this?" "What can we do?" "Nothing." "Because there's nothing that you can do." "Just save yourself and run away." "As soon as the conditions stabilize, we'll inform you.." "..but, in the meantime be thankful that you're alive." "And please go away, as soon as possible." "Just shut this hotel down." "Please, just shut this hotel down." "Ahana." "Shall we go, Ahana?" "I am not going." "Hey!" "What are you saying?" "This time I won't run." "I came here fearing the creatures in the city." "I can't be scared by the creatures here and go back to the city." "There's no choice but to fight." "I am here." "Only one of us will survive." "You.." "Or me!" "Hello." " Hello." "This is the chairman, Mr. Raman." "Hi." " Hi." "Thank you for seeing us at such a short notice." "But Mr. Raman wanted to see you as soon as possible." "I understand, please sit." " Yes." "It's a bit strange, Ms. Ahana, but.. what to do." "Our bank has invested a huge capital in your venture." "I understand." "I am really trying to fight this." "Since you've trusted me so far.." "..please have a little more faith.." "I wish we could do that." "Rawat." "What is this?" "It's a order." "What?" "Para 3 clause 12.1!" "It clearly states, that if at any stage.." "..the bank feels your hotel's making a loss or liable to.." "..the bank will take over the management of the hotel." "And that's exactly what we're trying to do." "What do you mean?" "You're threatening to evict Ahana from her own hotel." "Look, mister.." "It's nothing personal, alright." "It's business." " No, this is not business." "It's blackmail." "Look, I'm only demanding what's written in the agreement." "And I am sure.." "Ms. Ahana must have read the agreement before she signed it." "Right?" "I did, but I guess you people didn't read it properly." "But doesn't this agreement also state.." "..that you'll give me a 10 day prior notice.." "..before doing anything like this?" "It does." "So, Mr. Rawat, ask him to get off my property immediately." "And don't show me your face for the next 10 days." "Fine, Ms. Ahana." "We'll come on the 11th day." "But don't forget." "That day you won't just evacuate this hotel.." "..in fact, we'll sell every piece of this property.." "..and recover our interest." "So till then.. all the best." "Let's go, Rawat." "Yes." "Bloody vultures." "They are vultures.." "..but I'm not a dead body yet." "If my hotel was operational.." "..you wouldn't have to go through this inconvenience." "So you didn't go back." "I tried, Professor.." "..but running away seems more difficult." "On one side I can hear your words.." "..that, this is beyond my limit.." "And on the other, I can hear the screams of the people.." "..who came here trusting me." "And I couldn't save them." "I've realized that this is my fight." "And if I leave it, then I might survive.." "..but, I'll never be able to sleep again." "Sorry." "There's an important meeting going on inside." "Sir's busy." "He said he's sent the report to Shimla." "As soon as the Wildlife Trust of India receives orders from Shimla.." ".. they will form a team and inform us." "Can't we just meet him, once?" "I am sorry." "Officer Rana, even we understand these excuses." "But the question is.." "..whether you want to help is or not?" ""My heart's on fire."" "So this is your meeting?" "And you don't have time to listen to people's complaints." "Who are you?" "You can't just barge in a government office?" "Who let you in?" "Rana, how did they get inside?" "We're inside now." "So now give us a docket number." "Docket number?" "What docket number?" "For the report that you sent to Shimla." "That report?" "What report?" "You all think I am crazy?" "You think you'll all tell me a story, and I will believe you." "And then we'll set out to play in the jungle." "This is not a story, I've studied this." "What do you want to say?" "I've been doing squat in the jungle for 22 years." "From the ants to the elephant.." "..I've an account of everything in this." "These writers never write their book before interviewing us." "And the animals which you teach kids about.." "..we've dealt with them." "There's no such thing as 'Brahma Rakshah'." "It's just an old folktale of these villages.." "..and you believe them." "Closing your eyes won't help, officer." "There are others who have seen it." "Not one, I can get you twenty witnesses." "And they'll tell the media.." "..how you failed to believed them and didn't take any action." "Do you get that?" "You.." "Although you're working like you're retired." "But if your superiors find out.." "..then you'll even lose your pension." "You.." " And through RTI if people find out.." "..that you didn't take any action.." ".. then there will be action taken against you." "Anger has never helped anyone." "No, right?" "Tell me.. what can I do?" "Cooperation from your office and few weapons." "Weapons." "Now according to my research.." "..the weapon that we use to kill 'Brahma Rakshas'.." "..should be smeared with the ashes of Banyan tree leaves." "Okay." "So now this is the plan." "Suppose this is the highway heading towards Shimla." "Just like we use a mousetrap to catch a mouse.." "..similarly, we use a trap to catch this demon." "And the trap will be.. an old bus." "We'll keep a human dummy inside the bus." "And we'll cover it with blood from the blood bank.." "..and fresh meat from the market." "Just like a mouse is drawn by the smell of cheese.." "..similarly, this demon will be drawn towards.." "..the smell of blood and meat." "But remember one thing." "No one will fire as long as he isn't completely in our clutches." "Because 1 or 2 bullets won't harm him." "We'll have to shower him with bullets." "He's coming." "I can see him." "No one moves." "No one does anything until he's completely inside the bus." "Understood?" "Understood." "Understood." "He's heading towards the bus." "Go closer to the bus." "And when I tell you.." "..start firing at him." "Okay." "Come on." "What the bloody hell is happening?" "Come on." "This way." "Fire!" "Run!" "Go, come on." "Run!" "Ahana, that way." "Fast, close it." "Come on.." "I had told you before." "You won't be able to endure this." "You should have left." "You said a lot of things, Professor." "But what happened." "The bullets didn't have any effect on him." "Ahana." "The professor tried his best to help." "He even risked his life for us." "Sorry." "No, no, you're right." "I was wrong." "Because before this, I had only read.." "..about the 'Brahma Rakshas' only in books." "And people write what they experience.." "..or what they've heard." "It's always difficult finding real solutions in folklore." "But there must be something.." "Some weakness.. or secret.." "..which hasn't been revealed yet." "There is one man who can help us." "When this being attacked for the first time.." "..the headman of the village came to see us and my sir." "I couldn't understand everything he was saying." "But according to everything he was saying.." "..it clearly indicated that he.." "..knew about the Brahma Rakshas' attacks." "Where can we find this man?" "It wasn't just a banyan tree." "It was the villager's deity." "A deity that protected them." "We tried explaining them, but they didn't listen." "Bad luck never comes with a warning." "They didn't listen." "They cut down the trees and built the road.." "..but also paved a way for the Brahma Rakshah." "But how can we stop it?" "There must be some way to stop him." "If we knew why would we leave our homes?" "We've only heard stories." "What stories?" "The same old things." "Many years ago, a hunter killed the Brahma Rakshas.." "..and saved the people." "And then people performed a veneration.." "..and planted that tree there." "Do you know where that hunter hailed from?" "Dear, I wasn't even born back then." "It happened 70-75 years ago." "70 years." "Then possibly he's dead by now." "Oh yes, he does have a son, who often paid us a visit." "He was practitioner of English medicines." "He used to treat small kids." "Dr. Moga." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Okay, alright." "So my students have shortlisted the names.." "..of two doctors who have done Masters in child health.." "..and also visit this area regularly." "One is Dr. Rakesh Moga, DCH New Delhi.." "..and the other is Dr. Om Moga, DCH Shimla." "I think we should breakup into two teams.." "..and visit these places personally." "Yeah!" " Right." "I was thinking, Rana and I will go to Delhi." "Right." " Right." "Kunal and I will go to Shimla." "Correct." "Two bottles of water, please." " Yes Ma'am." "We're pleased to tell you that.." "..Kunal Anand has been rewarded as best book of the year." "Yes, before this Kartik Ray and Rohit Sharma.." "..were nominated for this award." "Come with me." " Where?" "Come on." " But where?" "Watch." " What?" "You'll soon know." "Kunal Anand is the first Indian to win this award." "And he's been given this award." "for his book 'The Golden Sun'." "Mr. Kunal, heartiest congratulations to you." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "You're the first Indian to be nominated for this award." "So how do you feel?" "Obviously I am very happy." "And I am also feeling very proud.." "..about the fact that I am an Indian." "And I would really like to thank all those people who read my book." "What was your inspiration for writing this book?" "Whenever someone writes something or does any kind of work.." "Who are you?" "He thinks he'll get handsomely rewarded for it." "Karan." "And maybe it's the grace of God.." "Karan Malhotra." "The owner of Malhotra Builders." "The one.." "You spared your valuable time for us.." "Responsible for your father's death." "What happened?" "Who broke these?" "I'm sorry.. sorry.." "Ahana.." "Ahana, please." "Ahana, listen to me." "Just give me a chance to explain." "Ahana I came here only to apologies to you." "I am here so that I can face you again." "I never wanted that all this happened." "I just.." "I just pressurized him a bit.." "..so that I could buy his land." "I had returned studying architecture from London." "I wanted to prove many things to my dad." "But I made a big mistake in haste." "If I had any idea that.." "..your father would take such a drastic step.." "..then maybe.." "I wouldn't have been so stubborn." "Please trust me." "Trust?" "After meeting you, I started trusting people again." "I felt like there are good people in the world." "You gave me hope and love." "I felt like there's someone in the world.." "..with whom I can spend the rest of my life." "Someone I can trust." "But I fell in love.." ".. with a man like you." "Ahana, please.." ""Why do people use love for selfish means?"" ""No one understands the pain in the heart."" ""So let me live with this pain."" ""I am better alone."" ""Someday this heart will forsake your memories."" ""So let me live with this pain."" ""I am better alone."" ""Someday this heart will forsake your memories."" ""Enduring this pain is better than..""

""No one understands the pain in the heart."" ""So let me live with this pain."" ""I am better alone."" ""Someday this heart will forsake your memories."" "Are you sure?" "Are you absolutely sure that you have seen.." "..a Brahma Rakshas?" "Yes." "And not just me, others have seen it too." "Oh my, God." "It's killing people." "And I need to put a stop to this." "Give me a minute." "My father documented his entire journey.." "..to fight the Brahma Rakshas." "This album contains photographs.." "..taken by his friend and photographer, Krishnan Verman.." "..whom he took along." "I've heard that Brahma Rakshas.." "..are a result of Lord Brahma's curse." "So only Lord Brahma can help you get rid of it." "Do you see this temple?" "This temple is in Pushkar." "This is the only temple of Brahma in the entire world." "Now listen carefully." "Just like Ravan could be killed by striking at his naval." "Dushashan could be defeated by striking on his thigh." "And Brahmasur could be killed by making him.." "..place his right hand on himself, similarly.." "..Brahma Rakshas can be killed.." "..by weapons dipped in the water of this Brahmakund." "But the weapon can only be immersed.." "..on the night of the auspicious Full moon." "My father had 30 bullets of an old single-barrel rifle.." "..which he had dipped in that water." "Even though he had a weapon.." "..it was difficult to control the Brahma Rakshas." "Somehow my father managed to kill the Brahma Rakshas.." "..but he lost his three friends." "And used 23 bullets." "I have still kept those 7 bullets safely." "Now that gun and bullets will be useful to you." "7 bullets and one old gun." "Do you think it will be enough to kill that Brahma Rakshas?" "I mean, they had 30 bullets.." "..yet only one survived." "We'll have to be determined to kill him." "Otherwise even 7 or 30 bullets won't be enough." "If that's the case, then why don't we go to Pushkar?" "New weapons, new bullets.." "The auspicious full moon is 11 months away." "And I have just 4 days." "I admit we have just 7 bullets, but we'll have to take a chance." "So how do we do this?" "Do we wait for him?" "No." "We'll go to him." "I'll head this way with my torch." "Ahana, you.." "..head that way with your torch." "Scared by the fire he'll come out this way." "You.." "Stand there with your gun." "As soon as he comes just shoot him." "But remember one thing.." "..you can fire only one bullet at a time with this gun." "You have just one chance." "Alright?" "Okay, yeah." "Come on, Ahana." "Hurry up." "Quickly." "Come on." "Come on." "Go.. go.." "Let's go, quick." "Karan." "Karan." "Why are you doing this?" "Earlier, it was to alleviate the burden on my heart." "Now I'm doing it because my heart's made me helpless."

"Only three bullets left." "Three bullets might be inadequate to kill him in his lair." "But if he comes here.." "..then three bullets are enough to kill him." "I know this place better than him." "If I manage to draw him here.." " You?" "Why not us?" "Because you're leaving, Karan." "This fight is mine." "I want to fight it alone." "And what about the battle.." "..that I've been fighting with myself?" "You think I'm doing you a favor." "No, I need to kill that Brahma Rakshas.." "..to slay the demon inside me." "And if you snatch my motive from me.." "..that what will be the difference between you and me?" "Okay." "But on one condition." "If we survive.." ".. then you won't show me your face again." "You will go far away." "Ahana, what.." "Ahana." "Ahana come out." "Let's go." "I dropped the bullet." "I don't know where." "Come on let's go." "But when.. where?" "Think." "Run!" "Where's the bullet?" "Last time I loaded the gun in the dining room." "It could've fallen in the kitchen or even somewhere outside." "Outside?" "It's a damn big area to search." " We'll have to find out." "Come on let's go." "There's just one way now." "One of us will distract him.." "..and the other will look for the bullet inside." "I'll do the first task.." "..because he came her smelling my blood." "No." "I won't leave you alone." "If we stay together, we'll both die." "You will have to go." "Please." "But how will you distract him until I am back?" "Ahana!" "Karan!" "Mr. Raman." "Mr. Rawat." "Such a pleasure." "Ma'am, you were truly wonderful." "You've managed to turn everything around.." "..in just ten days." "Impressive." "Mr. Rawat." " Yes." "On behalf of our bank." "Thank you.. but, this is for you." "What's this, ma'am?" "This is a cheque for Rs 76, 80,115.45!" "We didn't understand, ma'am." "Para 5 clause 14." "It clearly states that, if I return your money with interest.." "..then, you won't have any control over my property." "But, ma'am.." "Axis Bank thinks I'm a great investment." "And other than your loan amount.." "..they've sanctioned my 100 million loan." "So now you guys get the hell out of my property." "And stay out.." "Ma'am." "It's the opening of your hotel." "I thought if your musicians are late again.." "..then you might need this novice singer." "You promised.." "..that you'll never come back again." "If I had kept my promise, my heart would've shattered." "So, to save my heart I broke my promise." "Ahana, love me, hate me.." "But please forgive me." "And you know what.." "..
