Faces (2026) Movie Script

Nithya!
Wake up.
Open your eyes.
Yes...
Nithya,
How are you feeling now?
Where... Where am I?
You were brought
in after an accident.
It's been four days now.
You've finally opened your eyes today!
Do you remember anything?
Accident...
That... I...
I can't remember it.
How are you, Nithya?
Michael!
How are you feeling now, Nithya?
You're okay, right?
Michael...
Nithya, who is Michael?
What is she saying?
Ehh... I'm not Michael, Nithya.
Michael... Michael!
- Let's go home!
- I'm not Michael, Nithya.
- Michael!
- I am Doctor Alex.
Calm down. Okay?
Calm down.
- Why are you talking like this?!
- Relax.
Nithya...
Mi... Michael...
Sister...
Relax, relax.
Lie down.
Nithya... Feeling better?
Yes, Doctor.
I'm okay.
You were unconscious
when they brought you in.
There was a gas
explosion at your home.
You likely fell, hit your
head, and lost consciousness.
I... I don't remember anything.
Hey, there is nothing to worry about.
You have some burns here and there,
and this head injury.
That's all.
No other major issues.
But Doctor...
I still can't remember anything.
When you fell, you hit
the back of your head.
Over here.
That might have caused
some slight memory loss.
No need to worry.
It's nothing serious.
See, Nithya...
You've only lost your memory of the
short period right before the accident.
It's not a big issue.
Anyway, let's do a EEG
with brain mapping.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Nithya...
When you were briefly conscious earlier,
you kept saying the name 'Michael'.
Who is that?
We... We were staying together, Doctor.
Oh. So, you are married?
No...
We are in a live-in relationship.
Okay.
Where is this Michael now, Nithya?
That...
Michael...
We saw him earlier
in the hospital, right?
He had a doctor's coat on.
Nithya, the person
we saw was Dr. Alex.
That was Michael indeed!
I'm sure of it.
That was Michael.
Hey... Don't strain yourself, Nithya.
It's okay.
It's okay. Relax.
Relax.
Nithya...
It was a woman who
brought you here.
And your mom was here after that.
No one else was here.
Doctor, Michael is here.
I saw him.
- Doctor!
- Yes.
Alex Sir asked for the
patient file for room 204.
I will send it in a while.
- Just inform the doctor.
- Okay.
Michael...
- Doctor...
- What is it?
- Doctor...
- What happened?
Michael...
- This is Michael.
- Him?!
Sister, please go and
bring Satheesh here.
Okay, Ma'am.
Raju, wait here for a minute.
Okay, okay.
Relax.
Okay?
What is it, Madam?
Nithya...
Can you see Michael now, Nithya?
Can you?
What is happening?
Two... Two Michaels!
Okay, okay. Relax.
After the accident, you are
showing symptoms of PTSD.
- PTSD?
- Yes.
Post-traumatic stress disorder.
When some people
experience a major accident,
its trauma can remain
with them for a while.
And this trauma will vary
from person to person.
I don't understand anything, Doctor.
In your case... youre seeing Michaels
face in every man you come across.
Wait, what...? Are you saying that
the people I saw weren't Michael?
Nithya, think about it for a moment.
Since the accident, have you seen a
single man who didnt have Michaels face?
Just think.
Why would that be?
Like I explained, it's a post-traumatic
condition triggered by the accident.
It's a psychological condition
where your mind causes you to see
or think things that aren't there.
Will I get better soon?
Don't panic, Nithya.
Please listen patiently.
It's a psychological disease.
We can't simply cure it with medicine.
And it will take time.
Patience, and also the effort to
cope with your current condition.
Those two things are what
we need right now. Okay?
Nithya,
there are patients who are going
through much worse conditions.
You escaped with only minor injuries.
It's almost like a miracle.
So cheer up.
Okay.
I'll prescribe some medicines.
Take it only if you experience
headaches or sleeplessness. Okay?
Alright.
Okay, then.
Nithya...
Revisiting familiar
environments and situations
might help you recover
your lost memories.
Perhaps the answers you are
seeking, lie within those experiences.
Okay.
Nithya, see this.
- This painting is good.
- So, shall I pack it for you?
- Well, I don't intend to buy it.
- What then?
I liked what I saw.
That's all.
Actually, these paintings are
not as costly as you might think.
Yeah, you should buy one
and help this poor fellow out.
None of his photos get
sold at his exhibitions.
These are paintings, not photos!
Whatever they are,
they don't get sold, do they?
I'd totally buy one if I
had my own house or flat.
Since you liked it,
I can get you a discount.
My friend drew it.
Michael!
Hey...!
Hey, come over here!
One minute...
This is Fatima.
- I've told you about her, right?
- Oh, yes!
This is her friend Nithya.
- Hi!
- Hi.
Nithya likes this painting very much.
She would like to buy it.
Hey, this is not for sale.
I just kept it on display.
Most of your paintings
have female characters.
That's because women are the
most beautiful creatures on this planet.
- Aren't they?
- Oh! Yeah.
In fact,
everyone from Da Vinci to
Ravi Varma drew women, right?
- You're in a philosophical mood!
- Oh, they are here.
Hey, they are here.
Let's go.
You guys talk.
We'll be back after
meeting a friend.
- I'll come soon.
- Okay.
Actually, you know what?
I believe women are the
most emotional creatures.
- Oh!
- For example, look at this one.
It shows her sorrow,
her helplessness,
and her anger.
And I want to bring all of
those emotions onto my canvas.
All of it.
So, you like to paint.
- Yes.
- But you work in the IT field.
Even there, I work as a designer.
Well, that might be true.
But you are not painting.
Well, we have to consider
our parents' wishes, right?
What they want for
us is a well-settled job.
My dad always wanted
me to be a police officer!
- Is you dad in the police force?
- He was.
He is enjoying his retirement now.
Oh. So, what about his wish then?
He tried talking to me
and then even beat me.
He gave up when he
realised it was useless.
So you're a rebel, eh?
Nah, nothing like that.
Shouldn't the control over
our own lives be in our hands?
Is it just that you like the idea of
painting, or do you actually paint?
I feel like painting when I
see certain Instagram reels.
- I go and buy some colours.
- Oh!
But then I don't end
up painting anything.
Monster sketches!
Huh?
That's my Insta ID.
Check it out.
Who knows, you might get inspired!
Couldn't you find
any other name?
What's wrong with that name?
It's a highly competitive field.
We need to stand out
from the crowd, right?
- Okay.
- Monster sketches!
Monster sketches...
Nithya...
These people are here to see you.
How are you feeling now, Nithya?
I'm fine.
No need to worry.
We got an intimation from the
hospital regarding the accident.
That's why we're here.
What really happened?
I don't remember anything.
The doctor told us about it.
There was a person named
Michael living with you, right?
Where is he now?
That...
I couldn't reach him on the phone.
I don't know where he is.
Oh...
If you get any information about him,
let us know.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
- Don't stress out.
- Okay.
Take rest.
Was that guy with
you that day, dear?
Hey!
I'm asking you!
Give it to me!
You're always on the phone!
Keep that aside for some time!
- Hello?
- Hello. Fatima?
- Can you hear me?
- Yes, I can.
- How are you feeling now?
I'm fine.
Do you know where Michael is?
His phone is always switched off.
- No, Nithya. We met him
together that day, right?
- I left for Bangalore
after that, right?
Okay. Can you check with
any of his friends? Please!
- Okay, I will.
- Move! Move aside!
Huh!
Michael! What happened
to you, Michael?
Michael!
- Michael!
- Nithya!
- Move aside!
- What happened to you?
Move aside!
We have to take him inside!
- Come here!
- Who is she?
- Come here, I say!
- Ask him! He is Michael!
That is not Michael!
Doctor said you're
imagining it, right? Come!
Come!
Didn't the doctor tell you not
to step outside the room alone?
Isn't there anyone
here to take care of her?
What were you doing, Aunty?
Shouldn't you be more responsible?
If anything happens to her,
we will be answerable!
Dear!
What are you always
thinking about?
Madam!
I came to take that IV stand.
Okay.
It'll take ten minutes, Madam.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
It's okay, right?
- Do you want anything else?
- No. That would be fine.
Just a minute.
You place the order.
Where are you going?
- I'll be back soon.
Hey! How come you're here?
- Have you been here long?
- I just came for some tea.
- Oh.
- And then I saw a familiar face.
I came over to
make sure it was you.
This work was supposed
to be completed last week.
I've to finish it today. So I was
preoccupied and didn't notice you.
Sorry.
Okay. Where are your partners?
- Partners?
- Yes.
- Which partners?
- The ones who help you.
Oh, okay!
No one. I should get someone
who matches my vibe, right?
Also, they should know to paint.
Oh!
Would I fit the bill?
Well, the vibe is okay.
- Do you paint?
- I paint very well.
- Really?
- Of course, I paint.
Then, come and paint.
Whoa! Is this a Karate match?
Paint.
I'll paint.
Nithya!
Ah, Aunty!
Sarah...
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
You look fine from the outside!
- Did they do the scanning?
- They did all that.
- Well, Sarah...
- Yes?
Did you hear anything
about Michael?
Did you check with anyone?
I checked with his friends.
They said they
haven't seen him lately.
Here you go.
Have some tea.
It's hot.
From what I heard, you're very lucky
you didn't lose an eye!
So you don't have any
difficulty working, do you?
When are you rejoining the office?
Oh, actually, her dad has asked
me to bring her back to our hometown.
Oh.
So, what about your job?
I think I'll take a break for now.
Okay.
Okay. I can let the
office know about this.
Just give a call when
you've had enough rest.
You both carry on.
- I'll go buy food and come.
- Okay, Aunty.
Hey...
Did Michael do anything to harm you?
Why are you searching
for him so desperately?
He wouldn't just disappear
like this for no reason, would he?
Why did you ask
me that question?
Do you remember the last
thing that happened that day?
No. Why?
Did I call you that day, Sarah?
No. It's not that.
You said Michael was
with you that day, right?
Yes.
So, what if he harmed you
and then escaped?
That's the doubt I'm having.
Why would Michael do that?
Hey, there are guys like that, right?
Those who quickly form relationships,
and then abandon or even kill
them when they're no longer useful.
Michael is not
that kind of person!
Okay.
Then how did that gas
cylinder explode that day?
I don't know.
But my very last memory is
Michael being with me that day.
I don't remember
anything else at all.
Okay. I didn't mean to frighten you.
What's happened has happened.
The thing that
worries me now is...
If I understand correctly, you currently
see Michael's face on every man.
If the real Michael were
to appear before you,
how will you possibly
recognise him?
Hey!
I would have reached here
faster if I had just walked!
Now I am late as well,
because of you.
If you reach on time everyday,
it makes me look bad!
Come. Walk fast!
Hey Nithya!
What brings you here?
- This is my office.
- Oh, this is your office?!
What brings you here?
I came here to discuss
an interior design gig.
You do interior design?
Well, not much.
I just do wall painting.
So you got the job?
No. The MD hasn't come in yet.
- I'm waiting for him.
- Okay.
Nithya, shall we go?
Hi! Good morning!
Aren't you coming?
- Okay. So, good luck!
- Thank you!
- Okay then. Bye.
- Bye!
So you don't care if
you're late now, right?
- Come.
- Come here!
Hey!
What is it?
Don't you have any work?
Nope!
- You haven't left!?
- No.
Is your meeting over?
That got over long time ago.
I was waiting for you.
- For so long?
- Yes.
Okay. Did the meeting work out?
Yes. That worked out.
It's not easy for people to say no to me!
Oh!
Then, give me a treat.
Of course!
Are you scared of
riding on a motorbike?
I'll ride with you if you drop
me at my hostel after the treat.
"When dreams were
painted with vibrant hues,"
"You appeared in my eyes,
a tender spark."
"My heart now a canvas
of your illusion,"
"You merged into me,
silently, softly."
"With quickening steps,
we'll seek our way,"
"Together as one,
our paths entwined."
"One half you utter,
words taking form..."
"The other,
I paint with strokes of my art..."
"My very being now
bathed in your colors..."
"My entire body breathes
in your sweet scent..."
"When dreams were painted
with vibrant hues,"
"You appeared in my eyes,
a tender spark."
You can't come in this late!
If you wish to stay here,
you must follow the rules.
Whoa, whoa! Cool it!
You don't have to stay here.
- Stop taking!
- There are plenty of other hostels around!
Am I wrong?
Look at her stare!
- Okay then.
- Bye.
- Doctor...
- Yes, Nithya.
Come. Sit.
Take this.
Yes. Tell me, Nithya.
How are you feeling now?
Doctor, this condition...
We can't do much in this case.
I explained that before, didn't I?
Will this condition ever
go away completely?
I mean, this...
With this, is a normal
life even possible for me?
Hey... Don't get depressed, Nithya.
Get away from this
place for a while. Okay?
I had suggested it to your mom.
Anyway, I am going back
to my hometown for a while.
I'll give the number
of a therapist. Okay?
You don't have other options.
No medicines, no surgery.
Nothing can help you out.
You can overcome this only if you confront
your situation and come to terms with it.
- Okay?
- Okay.
I've signed your discharge summary.
Okay then.
See you.
- Okay, Doctor. Thank you.
- Okay, Nithya.
Make it darker here.
Yeah, here.
Yes.
Hey!
Come. Sit here.
Hey Amir!
Please take care of her.
Okay.
It's so colourful out here!
This is my life.
Hmm. Nice.
I feel jealous when
I look at your life.
To live one's life according to
one's wishes is a lucky thing.
Anyone can do it if
they really want to.
Giving all the credit
to luck isn't fair.
But you need to be in such a
situation to think like that, right?
Isnt it luck that you
are in such a situation?
Whoa! What is it?
Madam is way too serious today!
Nothing serious.
Just some issues at the office.
- Hmm.
- Forget it.
When will this get over?
This will go on till afternoon.
What? You wanna join?
Ehh....
- Okay.
- Then, come!
Thank you!
Thank you!
So, what happened?
What is there to happen?
Couldn't you come there
instead of sitting idle here?
What did the doctor say?
The doctor said a lot of things!
That there is something wrong
with her head! That she has PTSD!
I didn't understand anything.
Hey, tell me properly.
Keep it down!
She'll hear you!
I called Govindan's son and asked
him about what you said over the phone.
He said it's some kind of depression.
Are you going around
telling everyone about this?
Well, people will ask, right?
I've to tell them
something, right?
Haven't you understood
what Ive been saying?
She has some illness.
She also suffers
from memory loss.
Oh God!
Has she lost her memory?
Shucks!
She remembers us.
The doctor said she doesnt remember
the two or three days
leading up to the accident.
Huh?
How are you feeling now, dear?
I'm okay.
But I don't remember much about
the accident. That's bugging me.
Oh.
Mary Chechi... The gas
cylinder leaked that day, right?
Did it cause any
damage to our house?
No, dear. A fresh
coat of paint will fix it.
- Ehh... Chechi...
- Yes?
Did Michael come by after that?
No.
When are you coming
back there, dear?
That... I...
I haven't decided, Chechi.
I'm not in such a situation.
Oh.
Angel asks about you everyday.
She has an exam today.
Otherwise, I would've
brought her with me.
You should recover and
come back at the earliest.
Okay.
Have some tea.
Hey!
How are you now?
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
Did you go to the police station?
I went twice.
But they don't seem interested.
Why?
They are saying he absconded!
Theyre also swamped with financial
frauds and murder investigations.
They dont even have time for those.
Don't worry.
They said theyll let us
know if they find anything.
- Well, Sandip has come with me.
- Update and mail me.
- Good morning Nithya!
- Good morning.
Did you send the Lanatime app
UI design I gave you to the client?
Yes, I did.
You sent it? But I didn't
see anything in my inbox!
No... They said they
needed it by last night.
So, I sent it to them
as soon as I finished it.
Whatever happens,
whatever updates there are,
I've asked you to email it, right?
Err... They said they
wanted it through chat.
And I sent it because
they are the clients.
So, you neither emailed it
nor updated the task in SPM!
If you keep doing this,
how will I or the MD know
what tasks youre handling?
Okay. I will mail now.
- Do it fast!
- I'll update it.
Such a waste of time!
- What happened?
- No... Nothing.
Can I tell you
something personal?
What happened?
You switched to English!
Nothing...
Can we go out for a coffee?
Okay.
Nithya, weve talked
about this before.
Im just repeating it.
If you don't like me,
I can move on.
It's not that, Sandip.
I...
I can be a bit strict at work,
I'm a little hard to handle.
Is that the issue?
A little bit.
Thats not the issue.
Then what is it?
I was a day scholar back
in school and college.
So, when I stepped out
of my house after that,
I got a taste of what
freedom feels like.
I dont feel like giving that up now.
Okay. I get it.
I'm not looking for an
immediate commitment.
But... in the end...
Id like to hear a yes from you.
Sandip...
I'm not ready.
Thats the issue.
Don't you want to get married?
Don't you want to get settled?
Well, not right now.
But if my parents
find someone for me,
Ill say okay.
But until then,
I want my freedom.
Oh!
So, youve left that
decision to your parents!
- Yes.
- Not bad!
So what's your plan?
You are rejoining, right?
I don't know.
My parents are asking
me not to go back.
Listen... Life should move on.
How long can you stay inside
this house, behind closed doors?
Won't you get tired of it?
Sandip, you won't understand
what I'm going through.
If you want to rejoin, I can talk
to the MD and get your job back.
That wouldnt be good.
Theres no need to feel bad about it.
It's not that, Sandip.
I haven't decided. Besides...
I'm not going through
a comfortable situation.
Well, what does that have to
do with coming to the office?
I get scared when I see a crowd!
It's like everyone has the same face!
I can't do it.
Hey...
Sarah told me your
case is a bit extraordinary.
But think about it.
Even blind people go to work.
And they live their lives.
Don't they?
But they can recognize
someone when they talk to them.
My case is not like that.
Okay.
Also...
when I'm with you now,
I hear Michael's voice
and I see his face.
I won't be able to understand
the intensity of your problem.
But I can tell you one thing for sure.
Only by delving deep
into the root of a problem,
can we find its solution!
I'm saying all this
only as a friend.
Not as... You know, right?
I don't mean...
I know your boyfriend is missing
and that hell return anytime.
Sandip...
Sandip, I know youve
been very helpful.
But from now on,
I cant keep troubling
you or making you sad.
I just don't want
you to end up here.
You have a bright future, Nithya.
And I want to help you.
- Sandip!
We have to leave, right?
It's already late.
Come. Let's go.
- Okay then, Aunty.
- Come here often.
Okay.
Okay then.
Try to come there soon.
Okay? Take care.
- Bye.
- Bye, Sandip.
Mom!
Aren't you ready yet?
I have the therapist's
appointment today, right?
Oh, it was today?!
You go with your dad.
I have loads of work here.
Come if you can, Mom!
Otherwise, I'll go alone.
Okay, okay!
I'll also come!
The doctor said I shouldnt
let you go anywhere alone.
Chetta!
Chetta! Stop the vehicle!
- Huh!?
- Stop the vehicle, Chetta!
- Stop the vehicle!
- What is it?
Nithya!
Oh dear!
Nithya! What are you doing?
- Michael?
- Huh?
[In Hindi]
What happened, Madam?
Huh!
[In Hindi]
Hey, careful!
[In Hindi]
Do you want to die?
What is it, dear?
What happened?
You are Balettan's
daughter, aren't you?
[In Tamil] What happened to her, sir?
Why is she coming like this?
Your dad said you had a
head injury from an accident.
How are you now?
Dear!
What was that?
What is it, dear?
Why did you run away from there?
Hey! What happened?
Tell me!
I should be blamed
for coming with you!
Everyone in towns
gonna gossip now!
- Hello
- Michael..
- Where are you?
- Just come upstairs.
I don't see anyone here.
There is no light here.
It's dark.
Don't worry.
Come upstairs.
- Where are you?
- Come. Come upstairs.
I'm upstairs now.
Where are you?
I don't see anyone here.
Happy birthday Nithya!
"Through the stream that is you,
a delicate petal I sway,"
"Drifting along, on my own,
unchanging with each new day."
"Let our fingers intertwine,
on a path where we freely roam,"
"Losing track of the hours,
where day and night become one."
"Soaring through the heavens,
you are the air that I breathe,"
"In every dream that comes,
may this one face be all I see."
"When dreams were
painted with vibrant hues,"
"You appeared in my eyes,
a tender spark."
"My heart now a canvas
of your illusion,"
"You merged into me,
silently, softly."
"With quickening steps,
we'll seek our way,"
"Together as one,
our paths entwined."
"One half you utter,
words taking form..."
"The other,
I paint with strokes of my art..."
"My very being now
bathed in your colours..."
"My entire body breathes
in your sweet scent..."
How are you now?
Are you fine?
Yes.
Were you living with that
Michael who went missing?
- Well, that...
- That's what we heard.
- Is it true?
- Yes.
Do you have a
problem with that guy?
Did he promise to marry you and
then cheat you or take money from you?
No.
His Dad filed a missing person
complaint at the station yesterday.
Did you inform anyone
when he went missing?
I I called his friends
and checked with them.
So you didn't call his parents?
I dont have their contact numbers.
- Oh!
- Very good!
So how did you two meet?
Through common friends.
Oh, so you stayed with
someone you barely knew?
Were both of you aware of this?
Do you understand how serious this is?
Do you?
You let your daughter
do whatever she wants.
Didnt even check on her?
Look, this is a man-missing case.
Youll have to come to
the station when we call.
- Understood?
- Yes.
Girish...
Why is the police here?
What is the problem, Baletta?
Why is the police here?
- Tell us, Baletta.
- She was living with a guy in the city.
- Why is the police here?
- She met with an accident there.
- Is there any problem?
- I heard she is mentally ill.
Hey, is there some issue
between you and that guy?
No, Mom.
Whos going to come
here next, looking for him?
- Hey!
- I don't know!
You keep saying 'No' or 'I dont know'
to everything we ask!
People have started
asking questions, you know.
What are we supposed to tell them?
She went and lived with a complete
stranger, and now we have no peace of mind!
Who all am I supposed to
answer to now, my God!
Did you hear? Police came
looking for that girl yesterday.
God knows what she conjured up!
Oh, the police was here for her?
- I saw them too.
- Look how she is staring!
Wasnt she working
somewhere in the city?
She had an affair with
some guy from there.
Oh! Look she is leaving.
Dear...
Did you really decide to leave?
Yes.
Michael...
Are you serious about our relationship?
You divert the topic
whenever I bring it up.
It's not like that, Nithya.
I've checked out a house.
I need some space to
keep my paintings and stuff.
And I will get a good job soon.
Ill tell my parents about us
once everything is sorted out.
Please give me some time.
Tell me, in which area is
the house you checked?
It's outside city limits.
But it has got a great vibe.
Would you come with me?
Let's live together.
Like a...
live-in relation.
Err...
That won't be right.
Why so?
Are you afraid? Huh?
Hey, lets live together
and see how things go.
We will truly get to know
each other then, right?
That's all fine...
Will the house owner agree?
Let's try asking her.
What if she agrees?
So... shall I ask her?
- Yes.
- We'll ask her, right?
Ask her.
Come. Get down.
- Hi.
- Oh, your face looks so tired.
Come. Let's go inside.
- Hi Sandip!
- Hi.
Come.
Come.
Hi!
Don't you know him?
It's Antony.
How are you now?
Oh, she is alright.
You guys sit.
I'll bring tea.
Come, dear.
- Give that to me.
- Okay.
Nithya...
See this.
This is a face app developed
by our LanaTech company.
If you install it and add the
profiles of those close to us,
youll only need this
app to identify them.
How does that work?
Give me your phone, Nithya.
Here you go.
It's installed.
I've added my profile.
Now, take that app
and scan my face.
It's good. But what if the
profile is not in this app?
In that case, it will
say 'New profile found'.
And if you know that person,
just add their profile in it.
Oh.
Come. Let's have tea.
Huh?!
Don't be scared, Nithya.
It's me, Sandip.
You've come to office
after so many days, right?
It might be difficult for you.
Come. Let's meet the MD.
Ah, Nithya!
Come, have a seat!
Sit, sit, sit!
See Nithya, there is no need
for any formalities between us.
You can continue
your last project itself.
You can report to Sandip.
Okay, sir.
Okay, sir.
Nithya!
You know, right?
You are here because of
Sandip's recommendation.
Don't do a sloppy job, like before!
There is a security camera.
It is wireless.
Also, an inbuilt 4000 mAh
battery is included.
It also has IR.
And it has pan and
tilt functionality.
- Hello?
- Yes. You had called yesterday, right?
- Okay. I'll check.
- Yes, yes.
- We can finish it very soon.
- Yeah, yeah.
- It won't take one week.
- Yes.
Shantha...
Oh, it's you!
Come, sit.
- Sir, any news about Michael--
- Just a minute!
- What did you say?
- Sir...
Did you get any information
regarding Michael?
We didn't get any information yet.
We are investigating.
His dad said he often leaves
like this and rarely calls home.
But its been a lot
of days now, right?
- Sir, the match score?
- Hey, shut up!
His bloody match!
Let's see.
Okay. Thank you, sir.
There's no need for
you to move right away.
Take your time.
I've no trouble with
you being around.
I didnt think of it that way.
Actually, I had planned
on this when I arrived.
Are you going to set up that
house and wait for him there?
It's not about waiting.
That house...
It holds a lot of memories.
It's not just that.
Maybe that place holds the answers
to the questions you have, Nithya.
Im hoping so.
But...
its not just that.
I would like to live alone for a while.
All that is good.
Im just asking you not to
go there and wait for him.
Anyway, do what you feel like.
Its better to do something and
regret it than to do nothing at all!
But if its just about living alone,
there are other places, right?
You just stop it.
Let her go and live there.
And if any problems come up,
were all here for her.
- Isn't that good enough?
- That's true.
Yes.
Of course, you can live here, dear!
I'm happy that you came here.
Dont be upset over him.
I'm here for you, right?
- What's your name, son?
- Sandip.
Angel! Come here.
Look who is here!
She was very upset after you left.
We will set that right.
- Won't we, Angel?
- Yes.
There are workers at your place.
They said they'd finish
the work in two days.
Who knows how much theyve done!
Why would you do that, chechi?
I could've done it.
Did it cost you a lot?
Its alright, dear.
We had such a
good time together.

What happened, dear?
Dear...!
- What happened?
- Nithya!
- Dear...
- What happened, Nithya?
What was that sound?
- Tell me, dear.
- Hey, what happened?
- Bye, dear.
- Okay, Aunty.
Do you really have to go today?
Why are you in a hurry?
- Sooner or later, Ill have to go, right?
- Okay.
Here you go.
- Okay.
- Okay then.
Huh! Hey...
Are you getting in just like that?
Don't you want to know who it is?
Aren't you going to use that face app?
I just got confirmation
that its you, Sandip!
Come. Get in.
- Okay then.
- Okay.
Oh, you have arrived, dear!
Yes.
All the work is done.
- You can live here without worries now.
- Okay.
Just call me if you need anything.
Ill come immediately.
Okay then.
- Are you coming in?
- No.
I have a call with the Saudi client.
Just call me if you need anything.
I'm nearby, right?
Here you go.
- See you!
- Okay.

- Bye.
Huh!
Where is your motorbike, Michael?
Well, I sold it.
You sold it?
- Yes.
- Why?
I was in urgent need
of money. Come.
What was so urgent?
You couldve asked
me for money, right?
Hey, I have expenses too, okay?
Should I get your permission
for everything now? Huh?
What major expenses
do you even have?
What do you do with the
money from your paintings?
Oh wow, so now
you're keeping tabs too?
If I ever wanted to keep tabs,
Id have done it long ago!
Then what's your problem?
Don't you know it?
When did you take
off from this place?
Tell me.
You just left all of a sudden
without even telling me, right?
Did it cross your mind
that Im alone here?
How can you do this?
Sorry.
I'm sorry!
Sorry!
From now on, I won't go anywhere
leaving you alone. Isn't that enough?
- Are you okay now?
- Yes.
You will be double-okay
after a cup of tea. Come!
Come, come, come!
I am Thomas.
I'm Michael's Dad.
That one...
is Martin,
his elder brother.
Its been a while since
Michael went missing, hasnt it?
Do you know where he might be?
I don't know.
Come on! You two lived
together in this house, didnt you?
Didnt you report it to the police?
I was at the hospital
that day, after an accident.
When the police came to question me,
I told them everything.
Oh!
So, you think your
responsibility ended there?
No, I visit the police
station often to follow up.
They said theyre still looking for him.
Well,
how did that accident happen?
I don't remember.
Come on! How can you say that?
The accident happened
in this house, right?
I don't remember.
I can't remember.
- You don't remember anything?
- No.
Ive given the police
all the information I had.
If you want, you can go to the
police station and ask them yourself.
- Martin...
- Yes.
Looks like she doesnt know anything.
Well, there is no reason to
hang around here anymore.
Come. Let's go.
Oh!
Oh, you're early today!
Let's go.
Huh?
Huh!
Hello Sandip!
- Hello?
- Sandip!
- Yes, Nithya.
Where are you?
- Hello?
- Hey!
- Stop the vehicle!
- Hello?
Stop the vehicle!
Who are you?
Stop the vehicle!
Who are you?
I said, stop the vehicle!
Stop the vehicle!
Where are you going?
Stop...
Hey, stop the vehicle!
Hey... Here... Stop...!
What do you want?
Where are you taking me?
Hey! Stop the vehicle!
I said, stop the vehicle here!
Stop it!
Hey!
Huh!
Who are you?
I heard you see my younger
brothers face in every man you meet.
Sounds interesting!
Martin?
Where is Michael?
What happened to him?
Why are you asking me that?
Go and ask the police.
Oh, sorry!
I forgot to tell you one thing.
I'm also in the police force.
But I'm not posted in this station.
The cops handling Michaels
missing case dont seem serious at all.
Thats why I decided to step in.
Hes my own blood, after all.
I contacted the hospital
you were admitted to.
You freaked out after waking up and
seeing the doctor, caused quite a stir.
I know the whole story now.
See, Nithya...
There are a lot of faces in this world.
But if youre seeing
Michaels face in everyone,
Then yours must be
a divine kind of love.
Pure immortal love!
If thats not what it is,
then Michaels face is haunting you!
For reasons I don't know,
but I will find out!
What you said is not true!
I don't know anything!
I don't remember anything!
Oh, is that so?
That's okay.
I will find it out.
Anyway,
I'll be around till I find it out.
I will be there...
all around you!
There are a lot of faces in this world.
Nithya!
Nithya!
Wake up!
Hi Nithya!
How are you?
Slowly...
You were unconscious
when you were brought here.
Do you remember what happened?
That... I felt dizzy.
I don't remember anything after that.
Hmm, okay.
You don't have any other issues.
I think it was a mild panic attack.
Are you okay now?
- Yes, Doctor.
- Okay.
We got your details from your
ID card and called your office.
Someone is here to pick you.
- I'll call him.
- Okay.
Come in!
Doctor...
Don't come near me! Please don't!
- Doctor, tell him not to come closer!
- Nithya!
- Don't come closer!
- What is it?
Nithya...
It's me. Sandip.
Doctor!
Please don't!
Please tell him to go away, Doctor!
Sandip, can you
please wait outside?
- Please!
- Doctor, I...
Please go.
It's okay.
Relax. Okay?
Lie down, Nithya.
Take rest for some time.
It's okay.
Relax.
Relax.
- Nithya!
- Huh!
What are you looking for?
Err...
I was just...
looking...
at these paintings.
Tell me something...
Who were the models for these paintings?
I just imagined them.
Pure imagination.
But these paintings look...
very realistic.
Is it so?
Hmm. That's art.
Come, it's late.
Let's go to bed.
Okay.
Come on.
- Hey, how are you now?
Are you okay?
I'm alright now, Sarah.
- Hmm.
- I'm okay.
- Okay. You work from home.
Okay. I'll do that.
- Okay then. Bye.
- Okay.
Huh?
Nithya...!
Nithya...
I called you several times.
Are you avoiding me?
It's not like that, Sandip.
I had come here last day.
But the door was locked.
So I tried calling you.
But I couldn't get you on the phone.
When I saw you after that,
you were at the clinic.
And there, you just...
Sandip...
That day,
Michael's brother had come to see me.
Martin.
It was when you called me
that I realised I was on the
motorbike with someone else.
He asked me several things about Michael.
It became uncomfortable for me.
Sandip...
I had confidence that
I could recognise you.
Yesterday, I lost that confidence as well.
And on top of that,
when he questioned me,
I was completely...
After that, I dont remember anything.
But why would he...?
Oh! This door...
What happened?
I don't know. Someone
tried to break in last night.
Sometimes I hear sounds here.
Could it be a thief?
No, it's not.
- Who is it then?
- I don't know.
Hey, why are you getting afraid?
It's nothing.
I know you're going
through some things inside.
Just tell me openly
what's troubling you.
Martin...
Wouldn't it be Martin?
Martin?
- Yes.
- Come on. Why would he do it?
This is a serious issue, Nithya.
Let's file a complaint with the police.
Nithya...
Please listen to me, just this once.
This Martin you're talking about
He's a Sub Inspector
at the Kannur station.
I havent met him personally.
But right now,
hes under suspension.
Sir, but...
What action can you take, sir?
Theres not much we can do.
Please dont say it so bluntly, sir.
What can I do without
a suspect identification?
But sir, he did try to
break into Nithyas house!
From what you say, he didnt
actually steal anything, right?
I can investigate if you want.
But you should remember one thing.
The man youre accusing
holds the same rank as I do.
So I dont expect to
find any solid evidence.
You see, he is a bit crazy.
But he is not a fool.
Keep that in mind.
So what exactly are you
suggesting we do now, sir?
There are several criminal charges
against him, including a custodial death.
Dont cross paths with him.
That would be the wisest thing.
Im just giving you a heads-up.
So were just supposed
to tolerate everything, sir?
You don't have to.
You can file a case saying that
he threatened or harassed you.
Bring a case backed with solid
evidence that will hold up in court.
Apart from this,
what else can I do?
You tell me.
Huh? Are you leaving?
Okay then, sir.
- Unnecessarily wasting my time!
- Sir.
What is it?
- Here is the file you asked for.
- Keep it there and leave!
Huh?! This guy...
Yes, sir!
That is Michael!
So are you saying he is back?
Why would Michael show
up at night like a thief?
Huh! How would I know that?
- Go ask him yourself.
- Uff!
Sir, didnt you say we need
solid evidence for a break-in?
Isnt this proof enough?
Interesting! Earlier you complained
that Michael was missing.
Now youre saying he tried
to break into your house?
Alright, whatever!
Give me a written complaint.
Okay.
But werent you living
with Michael earlier?
So why are you filing a
complaint against him now?
Some issues between you two?
Nothing like that, sir.
We are leaving.
Hmm.
- Bye, sir.
- Okay.
I had locked this door!
- What is it, Nithya?
- Huh?
I...
I had locked the door!
No way! You probably forgot
to lock it when you stepped out.
No! Lookthe fan is on.
Someone is inside.
Let me check.
- Nithya!
- Huh!?
Surprise!
What are you staring at?
Michael!
It's me! Michael!
You...
Tell her, Sandip.
Where were you all this time?
She got worried when you disappeared.
Really?
You missed me?
Really?
I missed you too.
I missed you!
Come, let's sit inside.
Come in.
No. I'm leaving.
It's already late, right?
I have to get to the office.
You know how our
MD is, don't you?
- Okay then.
- Okay, Sandip.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Come.
Come.
Were you scared?
It's been quite a while, hasnt it?
Michael...
You... where have you been all this time?
Hey... You know me, don't you?
My mind was a mess because of
those little fights and issues we had.
So I just went on a trip.
I lost my phone on the way.
And without thinking much,
I just headed straight to Mussoorie.
Ah, about that... just a second.
It was somewhere here.
Yes!
- You remember Gaurav, my artist friend?
- Yes.
I got this one when I
went to his curio shop.
Authentic carving by the local villagers!
I thought about you when I saw it.
Here you go.
It's for you.
- Did you like it?
- Yes.
Ah, there is one more thing!
Where did I keep that?
Michael...
Nithya! What happened?
What are you doing there?
Michael, I have to...
freshen up.
I thought he was genuine.
But he was cheating on me.
It took me a while to realize that.
Okay.
Huh! Why are you so jumpy?
I knocked so many times.
Come on, let's have some tea.
Come. Sit down.
Nithya!
Nithya...
She is lying!
- She--
- No, she is not!
I could tell.
Nithya...
I was in a relationship
with her before.
But you...
Since you came into my life,
its just been you!
Trust me.
So youve been in many
relationships before?
What?
I doesn't mean that.
Of course, it means that!
You're unnecessarily overthinking, Nithya!
Right! So now its my fault!
I trusted you.
Okay?
Nithya...
My relationship with her was in my past.
I accept that.
I accepted it, right?
So what's the problem now?
If you had told me all this earlier,
I would have understood.
But how can I trust you now?
Nithya, please!
Nithya...
Don't touch me!
Nithya, please!
You know many of these
women in your paintings, right?
What?
What are you saying, Nithya?
Tell me the truth.
Don't lie to me.
You are questioning my integrity!
Integrity?
Anita told me about your integrity!
You are toxic, abusive!
Your animal-like behaviour, monster-like--
- Hey!
- Hit me!
That's the only thing
left for you to do!
No. I'm not going to hit you.
If I hit you, it would make
what she said true, right?
Nithya...
I loved you sincerely.
I thought you would understand that.
It's my fault that I didn't
tell you about my past.
Im sorry you had
to find it out this way.
But a lot of what you found out...
most of them were lies, Nithya!
Michael...
I don't know if I can
trust you anymore.
What you are saying now...
I want to believe it.
But I can't.
Michael, I need...
I need more time. Sorry.
Pick up! Pick up!
Hello?
- Hello?
- Yes... Hello...
Tell me, Nithya.
Sandip, can you
come here quickly?
- Huh?! What happened, Nithya?
Isn't Michael there?
Listen carefully to what
I'm about to tell you.
- Okay.
The person here isnt Michael.
He is someone else.
- He is not Michael?!
- What are you saying?
Sandip...
I don't know how to
make you understand
but you have to trust me.
He is someone else.
He is not Michael.
- What are you saying, Nithya?
- I know it's not easy
for you to accept this.
- But I saw Michael too, right?
- That is Michael, Nithya!
Sandip, but...
Michael has a side
youve never seen before.
There might be things
I havent told you.
Please understand.
He is not Michael.
- Okay. Even if what
youre saying is true...
who did I see as
Michael in your house?
I don't know.
- Huh? What?
I don't know that!
Sandip...
He is not Michael!
He is someone else.
I'm sure!
- Can you please
come here quickly?
- Hey... It's very late, right?
- Ill come early in the morning.
Don't be afraid.
Okay.
Hey!
Nithya...
- Hey...
- The stove is on.
Nithya!
You looked pretty
stressed while talking.
Who was on the phone?
- It was Sandip from office.
- Oh.
Hey! My favourite!
- Give it. I'll do it.
- No. It's fine.
- I'll do it.
- It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'll do it.
What happened? Huh?
Nothing.
What is it?
Aren't you eating?
Huh?!
Hey, you!
No!
No, no!
No!
Nithya!
Still having trouble
sleeping at night?
I had a dream, so I came--
Of course youd dream,
sleeping alone in a house this big.
What did you dream about?
I don't remember.
Thats alright.
Come, lie down with me.
Youll sleep better. Come.
Youre having these dreams
because youre sleeping alone.
Lets share the bed.
No need for that.
I'll sleep alone in that room.
Come on. Hey!
I wasn't around, Nithya.
I had gone abroad for an exhibition.
When did all this happen?
Amir...
I don't know what really happened.
I don't even know where Michael is.
Did you meet him recently?
I havent seen him in a while either.
Don't be upset.
He disappears like this
now and then, doesnt he?
This time feels different.
Its been several days, right?
Im really scared.
Hey, come on!
Stay strong, Nithya.
Ill check in with my
contacts and try to find him.
Alright, Ill get going.
- Okay.
- Okay then.
- Amir...!
- Yes?
Yes, Sandip...
What is this, Nithya?
Sit.
What is your issue with Michael?
Sandip...
The Michael I knew wasnt like this.
The Michael you knew...
I don't understand.
Sandip...
My decision to live with
Michael was purely instinctive.
It wasn't a decision I made after
much thought or careful consideration.
Once we began living together,
I started noticing
changes in his behaviour.
It was only after the honeymoon phase
ended that I truly began to understand him.
I used to think the faces in Michaels
paintings were all from his imagination.
But gradually, I began recognizing
some faces from his paintings
among the people around him.
Whenever I voiced my suspicions,
he denied them.
One particular face I
saw in his paintings...
deeply haunted me.
Eventually, I found her.
See...
I don't think I'm the only one.
He has cheated a lot of women.
I'm sure about it.
Okay. See this.
What about this woman?
This one...
Many of them are our common friends.
There are others as well.
But I can tell you one thing for sure.
He hasn't spared a single person
he used as a subject for his painting!
Among them, the number
of people he exploited
was greater than those
who posed willingly.
He is a bloody criminal!
Nithya, are you okay?
Yes.
Nithya!
Michael! Who are these people?
She is some model, I think.
Michael! Who is she?
Why did you check my phone?
- Move!
- What's wrong with you?
Micheal, did you bring them home?
Yes, I did!
Tell me the truth!
Who is she?
- Who is she?
- A girl like you!
That's all!
Is that enough?
- Get lost!
- What's wrong with you?
Why did you bring her home?
For my temporary pleasure!
- What?
- Hey!
So Im also someone for
your temporary pleasure?
- Tell me!
- Of course! What else?
- What?
- I didn't marry and bring you here, did I?
You were cheating on me, werent you?
You cheat!
So what can you do about it?
- Come here!
- Let me go!
Leave me!
- Let me go!
Michael!
Michael! Let me go!
Michael!
No, Michael! Please!
Michael! Let me go!
Please let me go!
Let me go, Michael!
Let me go! No!
Let me go!
No! Michael!
No, Michael!
Michael! Please!
No! No!
No! Please!
No! No...!!
So you are saying
Michael tried to kill
you by leaking the gas?
Theres no other way the
leak could have happened.
What is it, Sandip?
Nothing is making sense.
If you knew about this,
why didn't you inform the police earlier?
I had no memory of it.
My memory started coming back
slowly when I returned to this house.
When your memory came back,
did you try to inform the police?
No, right? Why?
Because it's all a big lie!
What I told you is the truth!
- Michael did--
- Michael is innocent and you also know it!
Didnt you just say
Michael tried to kill you by
leaking the gas and then ran away?
I find it hard to believe,
because he had no reason to do it.
Understood?
Who are you?
Where is Michael?
- Hey Michael!
- Sandip!
This is not Michael!
This is his twin brother!
Martin!
He has a brother.
Haven't you seen Martin?
- Yes.
- They are twins.
Oh!
So, youve been putting on an
act, knowing everything, right?
I'm asking for the last time!
Where is Michael?
- Let her go!
- Tell me!
- Leave her!
- Let me go!
Hey you...!
Hey!
Tell me! Where is Michael?
Tell me!
Stop there!
Sandip...
What happened?
Are you okay?
Sandip, are you okay?
Hey you!!
You...!
You bastard!
Hey!
You cheat!
You...
How could you?
Hey!
- Let me go!
- Stay there without moving!
You didn't even spare a small child!
It wasn't just Angel, you !
There were other girls too!
They were in my life before you
and will be after you're gone!
You can't do anything to me!
Let me go!
You...!
You bastard!
Die!
Michael...
Michael...
Hey! Michael!
Michael!
Michael!
Michael...
