NAGAPATTINAM FRIDAY, 9:30 P.M.
Mom!
Where has she gone now?
I spend all my time looking for her!
Mom!
Where are you?
Oh, God!
Mom is unbelievable!
Mom!
How could she go leaving the milk like that?
Then there's my husband! It never occurs to him to call me before he leaves.
I have to take the initiative every time.
-What is it? -Where are you?
Where would I be? I'm on my way, just past Gokarna.
I hope you're wearing the seat belt.
When have I ever driven without wearing it?
Mom!
She isn't here either.
You were saying?
I just sent you a meme.
I'm going to deal with you when you get home.
Hey, I came up with it on my own.
Quit praising yourself.
Didn't you find someone else to tell the horrible joke to?
If you don't mend your ways, I'll our kid after someone else.
If you say that again, I'll hit you!
Yeah, we'll see!
How was the joke, dear?
You are in a good mood!
It seems you got the cheque.
You didn't tell me about it.
We sealed the deal last week.
Oh, how about that!
I thought I'd tell you once I cash in.
Were you worried that I would jinx it?
Fuck you, bastard!
-Go, die! -Where did you pick up such language?
Don't worry about it. Someone was driving recklessly.
Anyway, forget it.
What's the update on Chhotu's betrothal?
Hello?
Mom!
Mom, where are you?
Hello?
Please tell me you're fine!
Mom! Where the hell are you?
What kind of a woman is she!
Hello?
Hello? Everything is okay, right?
Please say something!
Please talk to me!
Mom!
Come here fast!
Hello… please say something!
PUDHUMANDHU, NILGIRIS DISTRICT SATURDAY
Good boy!
He only listens to you, madam.
I can't deal with his antics at home.
Everyone in the neighborhood calls him mentally ill…
It's you who needs counseling, not him.
Look, ma'am, just follow the exercise I have prescribed.
He'll be fine.
Siddhu, repeat after me. Okay?
Okay.
Mama.
Ma!
-Ma! -Ma!
Good!
Mama.
Alright. Now…
-Pa. -Pa.
-Pa! -Pa!
Papa.
-Ma. -Ma.
Mama.
How was your flight?
Immigration!
Where's your wife?
I read his reports.
I don't see any problem with his vocal cords.
To me, this looks like a typical case of social withdrawal syndrome.
It's actually quite common these days, Samyuktha.
You probably know that.
And a major incident need not be the reason.
Even extremely silly incidents that take place in school
can push kids into a shell.
As you know,
it's been a year since he spoke.
And that was the only reason why we moved here from Chennai.
Got an Indian SIM card?
-Look at her wearing makeup on the road! -Hi!
Get in.
Hi, bro!
Hi, Gayatri!
-What? -Who is she, your younger sister?
-Show some respect! -What's your problem?
Let me guess. Did you flunk all your exams as usual?
Hey, boy!
Hey, I've been waiting up for you. How are you guys?
-Yeah, baby, I'm a little jet-lagged. -Hey, what happened?
-How are you? -I'm okay.
I think Gowtham is getting busy.
And…
So, when are you planning to come to India?
Hello, sir. How are you?
How's the work going?
I will start next week onwards, sir.
Very good!
You said that an architect would be coming from abroad.
She's here, sir, I just picked her up. We're headed to the site.
You are there with your family.
Is there anything you need?
The Pollution Control Board and forest department are giving us a hard time.
Please do something about that.
Not even the common man respects the Pollution Control Board these days.
They are inconsequential to people like us!
Gowtham!
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Also, sir, it'd be easier to work if you could get us
an electricity connection by next week.
Who is that district representative?
-Aarmugam. -Aarmugam?
Gowtham!
Can't you see I'm on a call?
-Wait and see for two days. -Yes, sir.
If he doesn't do the job, I'll give him an earful and make him do it!
Okay, sir.
Well, anyway, the project--
Sir, I'll get it done by the deadline that I promised.
-Okay, get it done. -Sure, sir. I will.
Okay.
-Who were you talking to? -It was an important call!
-Who was it? -The minister!
Greetings, sir!
I have given it to the shop. I can pick it up in the evening.
-Fine, get in. -What about my bicycle?
We'll come and pick it up in the evening.
Okay, sir.
Sir, you go ahead.
I'll follow.
-Come in quickly, Dharma! -Okay, madam.
-I'll come and unload the luggage. -Yeah, okay.
What the…
How did you find this? They're all colonial structures!
Okay!
I strongly recommend that we only work on the buildings
and not touch the landscapes.
It is really tough to find such skilled architects these days, Gowtham.
Sure, Gayatri. I had the same idea.
This property, which was abandoned ten years ago,
is filled with shrubs and bushes, and there's filth everywhere.
Let's get rid of all this completely
and build an eco-friendly township with 500 villas.
It could be the most environment friendly township in all of South India!
Listen, Gayatri, I have been doing my research
on sustainable buildings and renewable energy.
-That is why I brought you-- -Shut the…
All you're doing is adding jargon to statements that make no sense!
You really don't care about what I do, right?
You just want my name attached to this project!
Isn't that the truth?
Look, Gayatri…
my father hasn't left me millions, unlike your father, Mr. Raman.
Only if I earn today can my son run his mouth in the future, like you.
Gowtham! Why would you say that?
-Hey! -Sit here.
Don't be such a loudmouth!
Don't pretend as if all this fraud you're committing is for the welfare of your son!
Tell me something.
When we were kids, did we know that we'd have to pay for drinking water?
No, right? But look at the world today!
Your son will grow up one day,
and he will be in a world where people will have to pay to get fresh air!
He won't look up to you when that day comes! He'll spit on your face!
Look at him!
This is why I didn't want to come.
-I can't take this, Sam! -Gayatri, chill!
Why are you getting tense? This is just a silly matter.
-Why are you-- -I've known him since we were kids.
Your husband is a…
Come here.
Stop stressing over such small things.
Remember, Gayatri and I have been close friends since we were little.
Yeah, right! I can see how close you are!
Sam, introducing him to you has been my biggest mistake till date!
Did you just realize that?
Aditi, come on! We're home. Enough with the makeup.
-Have we arrived? -Yeah, we have.
Your walk is funny!
-Come on. -You argue with everything I say!
Hey! Careful, Siddhu.
-Welcome to my humble abode. -Get lost!
-Dharma, take the luggage inside. -Come.
-Wow! So, this is the house? -Come, I'll give you chocolates.
-I'll put these over there. -Wow!
-It's such a big house! -Go straight inside.
Yes, right there.
-Come on. Let's take this bag. -Ma'am, I'll get the bag.
-That's okay, Dharma. -Why don't you listen to me?
Thanks, Sam.
Yes. Can you hear that?
Look over there! It's a red sparrow!
It's been ages since I saw one.
I wonder if it will still exist when you grow up.
Come on. Your mom must be looking for you.
Let's head home.
How old is Siddhu?
Haven't you tried art therapy to treat him?
No. Maybe he wouldn't have had this condition if he had
his grandparents around.
Didn't you try talking to them at all?
Gayatri…
you don't know what my father is really like.
My family isn't like yours.
They may portray themselves differently.
But deep down inside, they are very narrow-minded.
Can I tell you something?
As far as I know, once you make a little bit of money,
all this crap like casteism suddenly disappears.
Gowtham is facing the brunt of it.
I'm supporting him as much as I can.
Amidst all these problems, do you know what our only silver lining is?
Bagging this contract.
You bought this whole property?
If the minister heard that,
he would skin me alive!
Oh! So, this is not ours?
When are you heading back home?
-Siddhu! -Leave him be.
Siddhu! Say, "Gayatri Auntie".
Say it and I'll spin you faster.
Come on, say it, Siddhu.
Please, Siddhu.
Siddhu…
Siddhu!
Look at me.
Dharma…
-Dharma! -Yes?
What are you staring at?
Nothing, sir.
It's getting late. Go and turn on the generator.
Okay, sir.
Sir, wait!
Sir, I'll go and replace the belt. The generator is a big hassle!
Don't worry about it. We'll have electricity here by next week.
Sis!
Do you know that hair straightening damages the hair?
But this is completely herbal.
Who are you texting?
An old friend. Krishna.
You mean the guy who is known as "Useless Krishna"?
Isn't he my brother's friend as well?
He used to visit us at home very often.
He was so handsome!
That was a long time ago.
Why are you drooling over him? He is married!
Just for fun.
Sis, please ask him for his latest photo.
Why do you need his photo?
Well, I just want to know if he still looks the same
-or he has gained weight. -Wow!
Sis!
I think that's a bad idea.
I'm just having some fun. Please!
When your brother gets back home, I'll tell him.
Let's just have some fun.
Please?
Please!
Fine, I'll ask him!
-"Aditi wants your photo--" -Sis!
Let it seem like you're asking.
Oh, really?
Please.
Let's not seem desperate and ask him. First, we'll send him our photo.
Okay.
Wow!
Sis, it'll look better if we sit on the couch.
-She is torturing me! Fine, come on! -Please.
Oh, God! This girl!
"Now, you send us your photo."
"My photo is already in your phone."
How could it be in my phone?
"Don't check your photo gallery.
Check the photo you just took, and you'll find me in it."
What the hell is he saying?
Can you check?
"You will see me when you start taking things seriously."
Sis, just give me your phone.
Hey!
Look at that!
There's just the two of us here.
So then…
the third person in this photo…
It's okay.
That's my phone.
What happened?
Remember Krishna, that idiot?
We texted him, but he's scaring us with his replies.
Read this. He says that he's with us in this photo.
Show it to me.
What do you see here?
Look at this.
Gayatri…
do you see that flower vase? It's just a shadow.
It's just a shadow, not a ghost!
Look closely.
It's just an optical illusion. That's all.
I think your sister-in-law has a point.
"Who is that?"
Look! He even knows that you are here!
He just asked, "Who is that?"
Stop letting him mess with your mind.
Alright?
He's just goofing around.
He's Gowtham's friend, right? That's how he would be!
You're right.
I'm telling you! He knows everything that is happening here.
Aditi is scared. Ask him to stop doing that.
He must have gone crazy.
Don't reply.
"If you don't reply--"
The more you reply, the more he'll mess with you!
Just ignore him!
What happened?
Didn't Dharma come with you?
He has gone to get his bicycle.
Is he okay?
Sam…
-Give me some water. -Sure.
Wait. I'll get it.
-Warm water. -Okay.
Go there.
Thank you.
I got a call.
Remember our friend, Krishna?
He died in an accident last night.
He was on his way to see his wife at Nagapattinam.
A vehicle probably rammed into…
His wife is nine months pregnant.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you crying?
You barely knew him.
Krishna has been texting us for the last one hour!
He's sending weird messages. We are terrified!
He even says he is here with us!
Look, I'll tell you what must have happened.
Someone must have got his hands on Krishna's phone at the accident spot.
He must have looked for a girl's number to mess with and ended up messaging you.
Sam… you can't be serious!
She's talking nonsense. How can you believe her?
Are you out of your mind?
When did we ever have mobile network here?
They removed the tower eight years ago.
There's a chance it could happen.
Sometimes a weak satellite signal can cause this.
Has something like that ever happened before?
It's possible!
You're talking through your hat, Sam!
I think she could be right.
Block that number.
Switch off the phone.
Eat.
Should we visit Nagapattinam tomorrow?
His body hasn't been brought home from the mortuary yet.
We told you to switch off the phone, Gayatri.
Look, I even removed its battery…
-Aditi, calm down! -Guys! Stop screaming!
Gowtham! There is an emergency lamp in our bedroom. Please get that here.
Okay.
Gowtham…
Yes?
There's no way am I touching that!
Let's leave. I am scared!
-Aditi, relax! -I agree. That's the right thing to do.
"I agree! That's the right thing to do!"
Stop talking nonsense!
You jerk! The phone is working without a battery!
Do you think this is funny?
Let's leave! Please!
It's okay.
Hold him for a moment.
Come with me, Gowtham.
Come on.
Look, Gowtham, you know I don't believe in all this.
But…
whatever is happening here is way beyond rational explanation.
I feel the right thing to do is to leave.
Sam, I promised the minister that I'd submit the project plan in two days.
Gowtham, their safety matters more than that!
Look…
I've seen this a lot in my profession.
Fear can push us to any extremes.
Fine.
Ask them to pack their bags.
Alright.
Come on. Get your bags. We're leaving.
Come on, hurry up!
Aditi, please hold him.
Give him to me.
Come here.
-Are you okay? -Shall we go?
Let's go.
Are you okay?
What happened?
What happened, Gowtham?
-Say something! What happened? -The car won't start!
Here, take this torch.
Torch? Okay.
It's nothing. Go to sleep.
It'll be okay.
Aditi, it's okay.
-Aditi… -It's nothing! Relax!
-It's nothing. -Stop screaming, Aditi.
-Aditi, calm down. -You're scaring the kid.
Don't be scared. It's nothing.
It's okay.
It's okay. Relax.
It's okay.
What happened now?
Wait here.
I'll be right back.
Don't worry, Aditi. Relax.
-It's okay. We're fine. -I'm really scared.
Calm down.
Come here.
I tried everything.
I couldn't even make a phone call.
We have to go back inside.
Go and get them.
Fine, I'll take care of it.
Guys…
we have to head back inside.
Are you freaking kidding me?
Look…
Gowtham tried everything.
The landline phone isn't working.
We can't hire a taxi at this hour.
Going back inside is the right thing to do.
Is there no other way?
Come on. Get the kid.
Come on, Aditi.
Let's get away from here, even if it's on foot. Please, bro!
Please…
There are 15 kms of reserve forests around us.
If any wild animal attacks you…
not even your bones will be found.
Come on.
I want to go.
-Let's leave, please! -Get out.
Bro, please!
Let's get out of here.
-Come on. -I don't want to!
-I don't wanna go in there! -Just come with me!
-Please! I don't want to! -Come with me!
-Come on! -I said, I won't! You go!
Well, then…
stay right here and die!
Why are you guys reacting as if it is the end of the world?
What else needs to happen?
Why not look at it this way?
Your friend Krishna has been sending you messages.
That's all.
Why are we reacting like this without analyzing things?
Okay, I admit…
there is some paranormal activity happening here.
But all he has done so far is message us.
Listen up.
What if he has some unfinished business? Who else would he ask for help?
Makes sense.
Are you kidding me? Isn't that a bit too much?
It's not just our friend, Krishna messaging us.
It's our "dead" friend Krishna!
Gayatri…
do we have any other choice?
We don't, right?
Gowtham, go and get that phone.
"Mount Roseyard School mystery.
Mount Roseyard School mystery.
Mount Roseyard School mystery."
That's all there is.
What does that mean?
As far as I know,
it's an infamous incident that took place eight to ten years ago.
I have a vague memory of reading it in magazines but…
I don't remember the details.
What's going on, Sam?
Gowtham.
Tell her.
Mount Roseyard School, where the incident took place…
do you know where it is?
Where is that school?
I told you! Why did you sign this contract knowing nothing about it?
Is that really important now, Sam?
Please!
Just tell me the truth.
How is Krishna linked to this?
Was he involved in this contract in any way?
No.
Why don't you ask him yourself?
I think he's gone.
This phone is still working without its battery.
He hasn't left.
I think he just doesn't want to talk right now.
Why is he telling us about this mystery?
Also…
why tell us when we are in the same place?
Probably…
he's trying to use us to figure something out.
How do we figure anything out at this late hour?
The answer lies in the problem itself.
School library.
Aditi!
Aditi, come upstairs.
Hi. Look at this.
So… you guys have decided to stay back here! Am I right?
Aditi, didn't you hear what your brother said?
Just sit there quietly.
I don't care if no one wants to join me! I am leaving!
Aditi!
Hey!
Aditi, stop!
Hey, Aditi!
It's too dangerous to go anywhere at this hour!
I'd rather go out and die than stay here!
What happened?
Sam, Aditi is leaving.
She won't go anywhere.
I've seen enough of her drama to know that.
She will just go to the gate and return.
You come upstairs.
Where is Aditi?
I tried to talk some sense into her, but she didn't listen and left.
She wouldn't have gone anywhere--
Hey!
As if that matters now!
Go away!
Go inside! Go!
Go inside!
You heard me! Go inside!
Hurry up!
Go away!
Come on!
What are you doing, sir?
Are these wild dogs?
We can still fight off one wild dog.
But three wild dogs are enough to kill a lion!
Where is your sister?
Where is Aditi? Find her!
-Aditi! -Aditi!
The wild dogs have got inside.
-Aditi! -Don't go out without telling me first!
Hold this. Aditi!
-Does it hurt? What happened? -Are you alright?
What happened?
What is that wound on your arm?
Relax.
-Come on. -You'll be fine.
It's okay.
-We are almost there. Hurry up. -We are almost home.
Don't cry. You'll be fine. Hurry up.
-I'm in a lot of pain! -What happened to Aditi?
-Gowtham, what happened to your hand? -It's nothing, Sam. Just take her inside.
-I'm in pain! -Sir, what happened to you?
You'll be fine.
-You'll be okay. Just relax. -It's okay. Don't worry.
-What happened to you, Aditi? -Everything will be alright.
Aditi will be okay. You get Gowtham inside.
-Gowtham! -Take him inside.
-Tell me what happened! -It's nothing. It'll be fine.
-Tell me what happened! -I said it's nothing!
-What do you mean? -Let's go.
-Get inside. Just go. -What happened to you?
-Come on. Relax. -Gowtham, why don't you tell me anything?
I'm telling you it's nothing!
Sir, please go inside and talk!
They just don't understand!
Did you find anything?
Let's go.
Okay.
Come on.
It's okay. You'll be fine.
It's okay. Relax.
Look at this headline. "Mount Roseyard School mystery.
Boomika murder mystery."
It mentions the cover story is on page number five. But look at this.
The pages are missing.
Exactly!
Look at this magazine.
"Mount Roseyard School Campus. No suspect on cards yet."
It says the cover story is on page number eight.
But again, page number eight and nine are missing.
That's not all. Look here.
"Roseyard incident. Was it a murder or an accident?"
It says there is a story about Boomika on page number twelve.
And it's the same scenario. The page is missing!
I can only infer one thing from these magazines and articles.
A 15-year-old girl named Boomika has died.
But there are no other details here.
Someone has specifically torn out these pages.
On purpose!
What happened?
She needs a rabies shot.
But for now, she needs a tetanus shot and her wounds need to be cleaned.
I doubt that she will cooperate.
She is too paranoid, Gowtham.
Sam…
her screaming will wake Siddhu up.
He mustn't know anything that's happening here.
Can you take him inside and tuck him in?
-Gowtham, how can I leave her like this-- -I've got this.
Trust me.
Go on.
-Take care. -I'm okay.
Don't worry. You'll be fine.
Come here.
What is it?
Did Krishna message you that you can see him somewhere?
He said I'd see him when I take things seriously.
So, have you started taking things seriously?
Why do you ask?
Look…
What is this?
Gayatri, any luck? Did you find anything?
Gowtham… what happened?
Come on.
-What happened, Gowtham? -Come, I'll tell you.
How long has it been since you saw our friend Krishna?
-Why do you ask? -Come, I'll tell you.
Would you like to see him?
Look!
Hey!
Who is that girl?
All this time, the one messaging us…
wasn't Krishna.
Then who was it?
We assumed it was him because the messages came from his phone number.
So, who has been messaging us all the while?
NAKKHEERAN
Okay, it's over! It's over!
It hurts a lot!
Don't move. Stay put.
Lie down. You'll be fine.
Okay?
Stretch your legs.
-Alright. -What is wrong with you?
I even tried to address her as Boomika, and yet there is no reply.
That phone is just a medium of communication.
That's all.
If we lose this, then we will have no way to understand what she wants to tell us.
Let's leave! I am scared! Please!
First, get her to shut up!
She's scaring everyone with her cries!
Don't be so mean.
Fine.
Come here.
The only clue we got was that…
there was a 15-year-old girl named Boomika. Right?
Ideally, which grade would a 15-year-old be in?
-Probably in the 9th or 10th grade? -Exactly.
Look.
These are the school registers from the year 2010.
The name Boomika is not mentioned in any of these registers.
What is she up to?
Sam…
what are you doing?
Look here.
She has sent the same sentence over and over again.
Haven't the messages been that way right from the start? Einstein!
Gowtham… look at this closely.
These sentences have not been typed in the same way.
How can you say that?
It's simple.
I have written down the sentences in the exact way she sent them.
Read them carefully.
See how the spaces and spellings vary from word to word.
It keeps changing!
So?
I got it.
She has typed the same content multiple times and sent us.
If she is sending a message in this manner…
then she must have also processed it in her mind in the same manner.
If that is the case, she is not a normal girl.
She must have been differently abled in some way.
It could be autism.
Are you sure?
I'm just guessing this.
That's not all. If we look at the events that took place so far…
she was obsessively messaging us, right?
It stopped after a point.
Once they are unable to communicate something, they stop talking altogether.
No matter how hard we try, we can't get them to respond.
So, what are you going to do?
Look, as a psychologist,
I am just trying to regain her confidence.
Sam…
I am so proud of you.
You must be the first ever psychologist to psychoanalyze a ghost!
Shut up!
If by any chance my guess is correct, she will definitely reply now.
Let me do this.
Stop kidding, Sam.
Look, Gowtham…
I have no idea what Aditi will do this time.
Only you can handle her.
Be careful, Sam.
Madam, do you want me to open that?
Please hold this.
-You never listen to me. -Hold this.
Go on.
Dharman, give me that lamp.
Why don't you listen to me, madam?
Be careful.
Hold this. Come here.
What are you looking for? Tell me and I shall find it for you.
Show it here.
Your husband did something, then his sister went outside,
and now you are up to something!
Please tell me what is happening here!
This campus is haunted!
Do you understand?
A place abandoned for ten years would have a hundred ghosts in it!
Why would they harm us?
For roaming about at this hour, we're the ones that the ghosts should be afraid of!
Are you alright?
BOOMIKA IS A NATURE LOVER
Listen, child.
-Keep the books back in the same place. -Sure, sir.
A campus that looks calm on the outside is actually quite different on the inside.
Despite that, the librarian Ganesan led an ordinary life.
That school, its library, the staff quarters within the school campus,
and Boomika, who lives there…
meant the world to him.
Though Boomika lived in the school campus, she never studied there.
Bring fresh carrots tomorrow.
What's up, Mr. Ganesan? You are getting older by the day!
Well, why don't you find me a beautiful bride?
How long can I stay a widower?
Have you seen your face?
Have you seen yours? You are a buffoon!
I'm better than a buffoon.
Boomika!
Where are you, my child? What are you doing?
Boomika, come on. Time to study.
It's time to study, dear.
-Come on. You've been painting all day! -Dad! I want to go to the tree!
-To the tree! I want to go to the tree! -Come on, dear.
I want to go to the tree!
-Alright! I get it! Come, let's go. -I want to go.
Ganesan's only dream was for Boomika to appear for
the 10th grade public exam from that very school.
Hi, Boomika!
Boomika…
I'm going to teach you something.
You need to focus and learn it well.
And then, recite it correctly.
Okay?
Only then can you do well in your exams and pass.
This is a good spot.
Boomika, I am going to teach you a very important theory.
Listen to it carefully, okay?
"While the beginning of the Paleozoic Era
is often described as an explosion of life,
the end of the period that happened over 251 million years ago…
was more like an implosion of life.
As much as 96% of
all life on earth went extinct during the event
known as the P-T extinction.
Although the cause is not entirely understood,
the P-T extinction almost
turned earth into a lifeless planet."
Now recite it.
Boomika, don't be playful all the time! Come on, repeat after me!
"While the beginning of…"
"While… while the beginning of the Paleozoic Era
is often described as an explosion of life,
the end of the period that happened
over 251 million years ago…
was more like an implosion of life.
As much as 96% of all life on earth
went extinct during the event
known as the P-T extinction."
Go on.
"Although the cause is not entirely understood,
the P-T extinction almost
turned earth into a lifeless planet."
Perfect! Spot on! Well done, my girl!
My darling!
If anything was rearranged or disturbed in her home,
she would scream and get restless.
If the patterns she had arranged were changed or sorted,
she just couldn't accept it.
What happened, my dear? Why are you screaming and crying?
Stop crying!
-Tell me what happened! She won't listen! -Are you insane?
Haven't I told you not to touch her things?
-She doesn't like it! -What did I do? She's just screaming!
-Go away! You always mess up! -You're unbelievable!
-Just get out of here! -You handle your own daughter!
-I told you not to touch her things! -I'm leaving! I quit!
-Yeah, whatever! Go away! -Handle her! I don't want to work here!
It's okay, my dear. Calm down. Here's your favorite toy.
Take it. Calm down. Stop crying.
Ganesan was always focused on keeping the situation under control for Boomika.
My daughter paints so well!
Look, my dear. It's your favorite color.
She loved to wear clothes that were made only out of cotton.
She absolutely hated artificial materials.
And that's why, she hated clothes made out of polyester.
Look here, my dear. Please don't do that!
Didn't I warn you earlier?
Why do you do things she hates?
She doesn't have a mother. I brought the dress for her out of love.
To hell with your love!
I thought she would have changed after all these years.
Change yourself first! Alright?
Don't do things that distress her.
Once she started painting,
then books and paper had no boundaries for her.
Boomika!
How many times have I told you not to paint outside the paper?
There's paint everywhere! I have to keep cleaning up after you.
Please obey me.
Don't be stubborn. Look, paint here.
You never listen to me!
Ganesan, did I forget to return a book?
-No, sir. -Then?
I wanted to talk about my daughter's admission.
How many times do I tell you, Ganesan?
Put your daughter in a school for special children.
When she didn't paint, she spent her time in a vacant house in the neighborhood.
Sir, how can I leave her alone in a school somewhere?
She is not at all like what you think.
I have trained her in all the subjects at home.
All I want is for her to write the 10th grade board exams as our school's student.
Ganesan, I've told you already.
A new rule was passed in 2007.
It is not as easy as you think.
This 150-year-old school
fell in the hands of a shrewd businessman called Samuel Sagayam.
Samuel Sagayam started making aggressive plans to develop the school.
In the 355 acres of this property--
It's 345 acres.
The school building occupies around 25 acres.
Even if you add the quarters and other buildings, it's not more than 50 acres.
The remaining area is covered with forests.
There's no point in leaving the forests untouched.
Developing it would be beneficial for us.
Well put, sir!
That was when I went to that school
along with my husband, a world-renowned artist, Ismail Akthar.
Sir, it's a 150-year-old building.
British construction.
Sir, the previous management was running this school into losses.
Sir, this is our school library.
-Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am. -This is our vice principal.
Sir, this is an ancient library building.
It's in a mess, but we are slowly renovating it.
My God!
Whose paintings are these?
The librarian's daughter's.
Can I meet her?
-Sir, there are better students than-- -Please!
Sure, sir.
That is where we first saw her.
Namaste! This is my daughter, Boomika.
Hi, Boomika!
Hello!
Excuse me, sir.
Boomika, here's a gift for you.
Thank him, dear.
Come on, thank him.
This is the one thing she hasn't learned yet.
It's okay.
-What has she got there? -Her paintings.
-Paintings! Can I see them? -Let go. Let him see it.
There is going to be a one-week art workshop.
Please send your daughter there.
Sir…
she is not a student in our school.
Any problem?
No. No problem, sir.
That school, the people living in that surrounding,
and Ganesan himself
failed to understand that Boomika was a gifted child.
But my husband, Ismail identified her talent.
"India is a secular country…"
I have been helping you to buy fish every week,
but not even once did you share the fish curry you make!
Well, he buys just 250 grams. How many people can he share that with?
If my daughter clears her board exams,
I'll host a feast for the whole village!
We want a grand feast!
Focus on your job!
What's up, Granny? Did you cook meat today?
What have you planned for Boomika's future?
Sir, I have trained Boomika really well.
I'll somehow get her to take this year's board exams.
Ganesan, Boomika has no such needs.
Isn't education important in today's world, sir?
-Have you used the color I told you? -Sir? Aren't certificates important?
I have been observing your daughter for a week now.
She is not an ordinary child.
She is a very, very talented girl.
We are going to the city tomorrow.
I'm going to submit one of Boomika's paintings in an international competition.
-Okay? -Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
Although we left,
my husband and I kept thinking about Boomika all the time.
We kept sending her art supplies every now and then.
STUDENT TOPS AT THE INTERNATIONAL PAINTING COMPETITION
What's going on, sir? Answer me!
What am I paying you salary for?
Will our school students ever prosper?
That librarian's daughter!
She has won an award!
If one of our students had won this award,
we would have had a grand celebration!
Sir…
the award still belongs to our school.
Ganesan, who spent all his time ensuring Boomika was always at peace,
in his excitement, didn't notice her anxiety that day.
I have good news!
You got admitted in the school!
This wouldn't have been possible without the principal.
We should go and thank him.
Let's give go and give him this box of sweets.
Come on, get ready.
Boomika, I'm talking to you!
Why won't you listen to me?
What is the matter with you?
Come on. Let's go and thank the principal. That's good manners, right?
Put that brush away.
All you do is paint!
Come on, let's go and thank the principal.
Good girl! Come on, dear.
After that, we have no idea what went wrong.
Boomika stepped out of the house that day,
but she never made it back.
Sir…
Ganesan…
Ganesan refused to open up about what happened.
He had lost his young daughter!
We didn't want to bother him with too many questions.
Where is he going?
Listen…
What?
-I have something on my mind. -What is it?
What if this is the school they were talking about?
She's unbelievable!
Based on the remaining bits of information that we have,
there are a couple of strange incidents revolving around Boomika's death.
Based on the dates of the news articles,
the school must have shut down a few months after she died.
After the incident, the people from the nearby towns and villages
must have also left for good.
I suppose the school and the whole of Roseyard valley,
no longer than six months from her death,
became completely abandoned and was reclaimed by nature as part of the forest.
What exactly happened here?
Does that mean I'll die here too?
Please leave me!
Allow me to go, please!
Stop overreacting!
-I'll slap you and knock your teeth out! -Aditi, come here.
Listen to me. Take a deep breath.
Breathe in, breathe out. Everything will be fine. Do it.
-Breathe-- -Get lost! It's all your fault!
If it wasn't for your cursed phone,
-none of this would have happened! -Aditi!
What? You can't stop me!
She's a crazy woman! Breathe in, breathe out, my foot!
-How dare you! -Gowtham!
Are you out of your mind? How dare you hit a woman!
Gowtham, this is unfair! What is wrong with you?
Forget it, Aditi. It's okay. Relax.
Go ahead, hit me! I'm sure you have brought me here to finish me off!
I know you very well!
You'd stoop to any level for money.
You want to kill me off and take all our assets!
Sure!
As if our father has left us millions!
And I want to kill you so that I can have it all!
All he has left behind is debt!
If you want, you can take half of it and get lost!
What did you just say?
Say that again!
-How dare you talk like that about Dad? -Aditi!
Come here! Listen to me.
Would you have the guts to say that if he were alive?
He is watching you from above! He will make you pay!
He never did anything right even when he was alive!
Sit here. Be quiet.
Calm down.
Gowtham, it's getting serious.
We have no clue as to why people have vacated this place.
And we too are in the same place!
-But what happened to Boomika-- -Gowtham!
Even if Boomika knows, she cannot say it.
Listen, Gowtham…
we have got to find out what she wants,
get it done and escape. That is the only right thing to do.
-Fine. -Gayatri, come here.
Give me that phone.
Look here.
B-block…
second floor.
Do you have a headache?
Would you like some tea?
Don't overthink. You know how your brother is.
Sit here and relax. I'll get you some tea.
Everything will be alright.
Don't worry, okay?
Sam, do you want some tea?
-Okay. -Okay.
Here you go.
Sam…
My grandfather is very wise.
I fought with him, left my village and came here.
Why?
I made a mistake! I didn't understand him fully.
We belong in the forest.
It has been that way for generations!
It was only a few years ago that we were chased out of the forest.
When I was a kid, the government had built us a small home.
But we never liked that.
Also…
people would break into the forest and ruin it!
We didn't like that either.
When we'd inform my grandfather about it,
and he would go to the abandoned houses in the forests…
the ones which had tree roots all over and encroaching them.
He would just stand there and laugh hysterically!
Some looked at him and called him a wise person,
while some called him crazy.
But I never understood the reason behind that laughter of his.
But now…
I understand why he laughed looking at that.
Have you…
ever sown a seed, nurtured it and watched it grow into a tree?
Yes, I have.
Then you must already know.
Okay… suppose we sow a few seeds.
For the seeds to sprout, we need the right mud, water, sunlight and whatnot!
Only then will they grow into trees.
Even when you take utmost care to make them sprout…
only a few grow into trees. Isn't that right?
In that case,
how can tree roots grow all over a concrete house?
Call it whatever you want.
Science or whatever!
All I understood from it is one thing.
Our earth…
is communicating with us every minute.
It is making itself very clear.
Guess what it's telling us?
"I know how to save myself.
If you can, you should try saving yourself from me!"
Sounds like the Gaia hypothesis.
What's that?
It's not a hypothesis anymore.
It's a scientific theory.
I don't understand a thing.
I'll explain.
In 1950s, we, in the sense…
the progress of science and the industrial revolution caused global warming.
This idea started to become popular.
Many scientists and environmentalists
started researching on how to rectify this.
That's when James Lovelock, a British scientist, proposed this theory.
According to this theory,
the whole of earth is a single living organism.
Like how there are millions of bacteria, virus and fungus living in our bodies,
in a similar way, we live on the Earth.
The Earth provides us with many life sustaining elements.
And…
what do you think happens when a human being suffers an illness?
The human body automatically starts fighting the illness.
Like?
We get a fever.
What exactly is a fever?
Rise in the body temperature, right?
Similarly, that is the reason why there is global warming.
Global warming or climate change is like the fever that has affected the Earth.
These are signs.
A fever puts an end to the rise in bacteria in our body.
Similarly, using the same mechanism, the Earth has begun to eliminate us.
And this is not the first time.
The Earth has done the same thing to many species that existed before us.
This is the sixth extinction.
Why did you bring this up now?
A little while ago, didn't you read that girl's story?
What did you understand?
I doubt if I can make you understand.
Who is Boomika?
-An autistic kid-- -Boomika is none other than…
the Earth itself!
Think again about what you read in her story.
Only then will you understand.
She cannot differentiate between good and bad.
All she knows is to spread and accept love.
She can never accept anything that is artificial.
She has her own ways and doesn't like if anyone changes it.
There is no way anyone can take control of the Earth!
How many times have I told you not to paint outside the paper?
She has no boundaries!
If you think of changing her as per your needs, it won't work!
You got admitted in the school!
Boomika has no such needs.
You all are crazy!
None of us has the capacity to understand
the intelligence of something that sustains so many lifeforms!
You will do as you please…
thinking that she won't retaliate!
Isn't that right?
Even her smallest act of retaliation can wipe out everyone.
You people are unbelievable!
Sam…
Aditi?
Aditi!
Aditi…
Gayatri!
Gayatri, where are you?
What? Did you see a ghost?
Gayatri!
Shit!
It's okay.
It's done.
Okay. You'll be fine.
It's nothing. You'll be fine.
You'll be okay. Don't worry. I'm here with you.
Don't worry.
Dharman! What are you looking at? Help me!
The bleeding won't stop!
We need to take her to the hospital in half an hour, or she won't make it!
What happened?
Please be quiet.
Madam, you go and start the car.
But it won't start.
Madam, please listen to me.
It will start. Just go.
-What? How will-- -I got this. You go!
Just leave without making any noise.
Do as I say. Just leave.
Fine, hold this.
You leave.
Don't make any noise.
Go on.
Come on.
Please start.
Come on! Please start!
Shit!
Gowtham!
Get in! Come on!
Get in! Hurry up!
Aditi is nowhere to be found and Gayatri suffered a blow to the head.
What about Siddhu?
Shit!
-Dharma! -Hold on.
First, look for Gayatri and Aditi.
Hurry up! Gayatri is over there!
Siddhu!
Open the door, Siddhu!
Siddhu!
Thank you.
Siddhu!
We never told anyone about the incident that took place on that day.
Siddhu also got his speech back.
He even started attending a regular school.
Will you teach me how to fly?
Aditi is yet to cope with the trauma.
Dharman went back to his hometown.
And Gowtham… Well, I don't know what to say about him.
Anyway, I'll take your leave now.
BANGALORE TODAY
Are you kidding me? Mom's making us lunch.
Sorry, Gayatri.
I need to leave now to reach home before it gets dark.
When is your flight?
At 3 o'clock.
Alright. Take care of yourself.
Feel better. Okay?
-I'll miss you. -Yeah.
Do you know what happened to Boomika?
In this 355 acres of this property…
The remaining area is covered with forests.
The aggressive development plans of the new management
started affecting Boomika little by little.
Initially, no one noticed it.
Ganesan was threatened to keep his mouth shut.
The new management dismissed the incident and dissolved the matter.
Boomika!
Please stop!
Listen to me, child!
Boomika!
Don't go there! Boomika!
Boomika, stop!
Listen to me, my child!
Boomika!
Boomika, what are you doing? Please listen to me!
My child! Please let's go!
Let's go, Boomika!
Yes?
-A girl is not letting us cut the tree. -Sir!
-The work has been interrupted. -Please don't cut the tree.
It must be the librarian's daughter.
-Please don't cut the tree! -Yes, sir.
Just push her aside and carry on.
-Alright. -Please! I'll talk to the correspondent!
Boomika!
Boomika, my dear!
My child!
Boomika!
What are you doing?
My child! Don't do that!
Boomika!
My child!
Hey, you!
I have been doing some research for the past few days.
After her death, many others started to die there under mysterious circumstances.
So, did you finally understand what the Mount Roseyard mystery is?
I hope you now understand who committed those murders.
Don't you still get why Boomika murdered those people?
None of the people who died were students or teachers.
All of them were involved in construction.
When she was alive…
she never liked any changes around her.
-Similarly-- -Correct.
Now, that whole environment is her space.
Boomika didn't let anyone go there in the last eight years.
She reclaimed the environment and restored an ecological balance.
It's a red sparrow!
It's been ages since I saw one.
We are the real evil, who broke into the area to cause a destruction.
This property, which was abandoned ten years ago,
is filled with shrubs and bushes, and there's filth everywhere.
She won't allow anything to disturb that space.
It was right of us to have left.
Shit!
-Gayatri, I must leave! -Hey!
As far as I know, that property was abandoned eight to ten years ago.
CHENNAI FEW MONTHS AGO
No one would risk it if they knew its history.
I wonder why the minister unnecessarily invested in it!
But execute the project, and we can make a fortune!
Where is this property?
Why are you so excited?
You see, we are those who swim in a tsunami!
When will we make some money of our own?
Okay.
Go and check the property, and then we'll talk about it.
There's no point in being scared.
We'll deal with whatever comes in our way.
Take my word for it. Get that project.
Sir, I emailed you the details two days ago.
Take a look.
Wow!
If such projects are implemented in our village…
-It will be top notch! -Yes!
Sir, we will be hiring her to execute this project.
She looks very young. Will she be able to handle such a big project?
I know Gayatri very well.
I'm certain that she won't come.
No matter what, you must make her a part of this project!
You don't worry.
I'll take care of it.
You did it!
It seems you got the cheque.
We sealed the deal last week.
How is Krishna linked to this?
Was he involved in this contract in any way?
No.
Gowtham…
the ball is in your court.
YESTERDAY
Tell him we'll take the project.
Let's start with the work, sir.
If I were scared, I would have never showed up.
What about that issue?
She has cured your son. She isn't a ghost or a devil.
She's a goddess!
Our ancestors didn't just make this stuff up!
All these rituals and traditions are to control the spiritual powers.
Not knowing the tradition behind it is the root cause of all problems.
Let's perform a ritual to Mother Earth. And then, you may start the work.
You need not worry. Everything will work out smoothly.
-Listen. -Yes, sir?
-The next time when you visit… -I'll definitely have lunch!
Don't be such a glutton!
I meant, when you visit the next time, be prepared to sign a deal!
You are one of the shareholders.
I'll tell you the percentage on your next visit.
-Go on. -Okay, sir.
-See you. -Take care.
My grandfather always told me that…
land, air and water belong to none.
But human beings…
are a crazy species!
She has been giving signs and warning you over and over again!
But no matter what happens, humans just won't budge!
If you still want to continue living on this Mother Earth…
then you ought to drop your arrogance,
shut up and start listening to what she has to tell you.
When a child starts to eat the mother's breast instead of just having the milk,
that will be the day the mother turns into a monster!
