Honey (2026) Movie Script
Honey.
God is the light of human life.
Religion shows the right path to live.
But..
In search of easy money,
People falling into blind beliefs and superstitions are everywhere around us.
Ignoring God, they choose dark paths.
Over time, they lose their families and their place in society.
Even in an age of great scientific progress,
there are still dark, unknown people among us.
Their lives remain hidden, seen only as small news on the inside pages of newspapers.
This is the story of one such man.
The story of his family.
The story of a mother.
And the story of her daughter.
Mom.. will Honey come with us?
Mom, wheres she?
I dont see her.
Throw that rubbish out of the drawer!
Won't you let anyone in this office be at peace?!
I've been bringing this up, but no one seems to care.
Let's call the police..
They won't file reports for such matters.
Stop now, he might die.
Let's take this up with the management.
Lets go to HR and get him kicked out.
Thank God we caught him!
-Lets go
Hello, can you connect me to HR?
Anand, what happened?
Where did you get those wounds?
Dont cry, baby.
Let's go to the hospital.
You are bleeding.
Lost my job!
She was born at a cursed hour.
Nothings been right since then.
Change your ways first!
Tell me what you did!
Dont you dare blame her!
Asking me what I did!
I married you and this bad luck followed.
Whats wrong with you?
Why are you talking like this?
Anand...
Im talking to you.
Ill just come.
The grocer was here.
Didnt you pay them?
My salary got over.
Daughters fee was pending for long.
School sent a notice so I paid.
What now?
Should I beg the grocer?
Dont be angry.
Find a job.
My salary isnt enough to live on.
Wait for my deitys blessing.
Im getting close. Ill earn in millions.
You could've skipped her fee. It wouldn't matter.
Stop blaming her for your incompetence.
I dont need millions.
Stop asking for money for your rituals!
Else, earn for yourself!
How dare you!
So, your income has made you arrogant?
Take her and get lost!
Are you looking down on me
-because I left my family for you!
-Hey! Come out! -Come out!
Wait, listen to me.
Tell us what happened.
Whats he doing?
The entire colony is suffering because of him!
Either make him vacate,
-or sell the house and leave.
Why sell the house.
-Just make him leave.
Listen to me, please.
Let me talk. Please wait.
Talk to him!
Ok, please leave.
Come lets go..
please.
Why do I have to deal with this?
Take a couple of days.
It's ok if you don't settle your dues.
Please vacate.
Else, I wont be gentle.
Ill throw your stuff!
Why did you stop?
Mom, let's listen. The song's good.
I wish I could sing like that...
But mom, why did you stop singing?
Do you want to learn?
Mmm.
Who are you looking for?
We live downstairs.
Saw you the other day.
Whos singing?
My daughter.
Shes going to join Sharadha Nikethan as a music teacher.
Whos that, dad?
They live downstairs
Im Lalitha.
I work at the same school.
I teach science.
Heard about the new teacher,
-expected someone older.
Please come in.
Please sit.
Put your bag down.
Which class?
5th A.
Have some water?
Thank you.
You sang beautifully!
Thank you so much.
She wants to learn.
Will you teach her?
Want to learn?
-Yes.
I dont offer private classes.
Come here,
I dont get time for it.
Preparing for government exams.
Like music?
But Ill teach her.
So sweet of you.
Thanks.
Dont mention it.
Make sure she doesnt miss.
When do you want to start?
Ill let you know.
Thank you, teacher.
Well leave now.
Please sit, will get snacks.
Thats ok.
Her father must be waiting.
I should go.
What does he do?
Trading. Work from home.
Ok. Bye.
See you.
It will be ready in 20 days.
Ive arranged my guy.
Need to go get it.
I dont have a problem with it.
Need to convince my wife.
Do something.
Im ready to invest.
Our victory will benefit people worldwide.
Ill talk to her.
Im thinking about my daughter.
Thinking doesnt lead to results.
She is the reason I chose you.
The decision is yours.
Ill get going.
He isnt listening..
What do I do now?
What will happen now..
Why are you here?
I should ask you that.
Who was that?
What were you up to?
Whats going on?
Did you see everything?
Heard it as well.
What do you want to talk about?
Why is Meera needed?
What are you doing?
Dont shout!
Put an end to this.
I cant take it anymore.
Its ok if you dont work.
dont shout
I told you not to shout, didnt I?
The neighbors will hear!
Mom..
Let me be. Its my own karma.
Please, Dad, dont hurt her.
Mom..
Shut up! Dont utter a word!
Shut up! I said shut up!
Heard the screaming and ran over.
Whats wrong?
Thank you for your concern.
This is typical for couples.
You may leave.
Fights between couples happen often.
But these things should stay private.
Shouldnt fight in front of kids.
Meera will sleep at my home tonight.
What happened?
Fever ma'am..
I will overlook it this time.
When I woke up, Meera wasn't there.
She was sleeping on the sofa.
I hope everything's okay at home.
We just wanted to help.
Your husband might not
like that we came.
Dont worry about it.
It was a common fight.
I used to sing too,
spent 7 years learning..
-stopped after marriage.
Hes unwell.
I dont want the school to know about it..
Im mature enough to understand.
I didnt like that you stopped singing.
Meera..
-superstar, had lunch?
Wheres the napkin?
Mom, dont fight with Dad.
Even if you fight, dont
send me to Vidhya teachers house.
Whats wrong?
I wont send you there again.
I wont fight with your dad.
Promise.
Okay.
Can we talk normally?
For two minutes?
Dont ask who, why, or what
-and Ill listen.
Meera is growing up.
Lets not disturb her with fights.
I promised her home would be safe.
Lets stop.
I made a mistake
regarding her.
Wanted to talk to you.
There's something I have to do.
Things will be alright after that.
Ill do whatever it takes.
All I want is happiness for us.
Meeras happiness is important.
Im going out of town for 10 days.
Im leaving tonight.
Will tell you when I return.
Our lives will change, Lalitha.
Therell be a lot of money.
Lalitha, trust me.
Take Meera and go on vacation.
Vacation isnt necessary.
Well go to our gurujis retreat.
Okay, as you wish.
Mom, will we stay here
until Dad returns?
Yes, it will be peaceful here.
There wont be fights anymore.
Okay?
Yeah.
Are you Lalitha?
Yes.
Come, let's go.
Is it your first time?
Yes.
Lord Rama's festivities are going on.
You came at the perfect time.
You may see Guruji after 9AM.
Ok.

You came without telling me?
I was worried.
Why worry..
We love having her around.
She calls me her uncle.
Is it?
Did you like it here?
Loved it.
It would be great if we got to meet guruji.
Didnt get a chance to meet him.
Hes unwell.
I already spoke about you.
Do you live here?
Your family?
My father died when I was a kid.
Sister and mother..-had an accident

Keep in touch.
Sure.
Meera?
-Ok?
Bye uncle.
Bye.
May you live long.
Child, you are not at peace.
The worries are about to get worse!
Achary told me everything.
Hold on to your belief in God.
If peace is what you seek,
Keep coming here.
Take care of her.
Believe in Lord Ram.
Remember him when things get tough.
Lets go.
The Lords Palanquin is about to start.

Namaste.
Namaste.

This is our new home.
Your stuff has arrived.
Getting the soundproof room ready.
She's Ravana.
Shell help you settle in.
Shell also tutor Meera.
Get that.
Bedrooms over there.
Go freshen up.
Get her to practice with this.
Ravana will guide you.
Prepare Meera.
Well leave the day after.
Careful.
This isnt what you told me.
Didnt you say things get better soon?
We came because
we trusted you!
Who are these people? I'm scared.
Leave this Anand.
You brought us right back.
Listen to me.
Ill do whatever you say...
She's a little girl,
Leave her.
I'll do it instead.
Please.
Please.
We need young girls for this.
That's why Sarangapani chose us.
Please Lalitha.
Prepare Meera.
I'll make sure she's fine.
Trust me.
She's my daughter too?
Don't you think I'm responsible?
This is just the advance.
Lot of money..
We'll make a lot of money.
Remember what I told you?
Do whatever Dad asks, okay?
Dont be scared.
Dont trouble him.
come
Take this
Take that, Meera.
Dad, somethings inside...
Dont worry.
Only you can take it.
Thats why I brought you here.
Your mom told you, right?
Take it.
Dad, Im scared...
its moving.
How old is she?
We have to be very careful.
It shouldnt be put down or passed on..
She didnt get her periods right?
Go ahead.
Im scared dad.
Take it Meera.
Careful sir.
Nowadays, girls get their periods by age 10.
Look after her till the work is done.
Or else, all our efforts will fail.
Mom
Meera
Time has passed..
The wound is gone.
The shore is uncertain,
A sorrow without an end.
Though known,
I still hesitatelost in turmoil.
Unaware, in the burning nights shadow,
Is it you?
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
When the parched fields turn wet
wont the desert tremble?
Crushing a little life,
does it reach the demons wall?
When eyes are shut,
will time really stop?
When the past is left behind,
will the wound ever heal?
Time has passed,
The wound is gone.
The shore is uncertain,
A sorrow without an end.
When darkness swallows the entire path,
shall I become the lamp that remembers you?
When winds and storms chase after us,
will I become the shield that covers your star?
When the directions themselves bow down
You cradle and nurture us
When danger surrounds us
You appear as a motherly goddess
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Dont come in.
Move!
Meera.. come..
You have to take it forward from here.
Careful.
Come here!
come here
Im beginning the puja.
How long has it been?
All set?
Um.
We got the opportunity.
It should be used correctly.
Check on the cat.
Meera
Did it drop?
4 kittens.
More to come.
Did the mucus fall?
Pull immediately, dont waste time!
We'll come back in 10 days.
-Need one more.
You can arrange it, right?
It is difficult but I'll try.
Theyll take it out of the country.
Is the child ok?
If she starts her period..
I spoke to a doctor and made
-arrangements to delay her puberty.
Will your wife agree!
She won't.
But our work wont stop. Ill take care of it.
Go. Do what I told you.
Mom, dont cry.
Please dont cry.
Mom, please.
Is it done?
When will doctor come?
Shell start after this drink.
Must be on her way.
Mom...
Dont disturb her!
Mom...
Shes sick.
Doctor will be here soon.
Let her rest.
meera
She needs daily injections.
Will be unconscious for 24 hours.
What about medicine?
These are rare mushrooms found
-only in the forests of Chhattisgarh.
Give two more doses.
She will lose mental stability for 5 years.
She may become violent after injection.
It will be hard to control her.
Be prepared.
What?
Going to see mom.
Shes sick.
-dont disturb her.
Ill just see her.
Dont you get it?
Mom!
Who are you?
You know who I am.
I'm scared.
Im your sister. Why scared?
Sister?
Whats your name?
I dont have one.
Shall I name you a name?
Mom called me Honey when I was young.
Honey.. its nice.
My names Honey. Ok?
Know why mom got sick?
Why?
Because its easier to take you out if Moms sick.
Want to see her?
Yes, but Ravana wont let me.
She locked the room.
I know where keys are.
BabyDoctor wants to see you.
Isnt it mom who's sick?
You were feeling fatigued, right?
Shell give injections for strength.
Wait outside.
Meera, we are going out tomorrow.
Do as doctor says, ok?
Please no.
Im scared of injections.
Dad, it hurts.
I want to go to school.
I don't want to go with you.
Ill stay with Mom.
Moms sick.
Admitting her to hospital.
Lets go out, ok?
Please Dad.
Please Dad.
Ill take you to mom today.
Will she be alright?
Depends on Dad and his friends.
I dont like the doctor.
Shes no doctor!
I dont like Ravana either.
Me too.
They wont send you to school!
How do you know?
Dad said I can go back to school after mom returns.
They wont take her to the hospital.
There will be another cat after this one has kittens.
It wont stop.
Know where Lalitha teacher stays?
Ask there.
That one?
Hello.
Hello.
Looking for teacher Lalitha.
They vacated a year ago.
Oh..
was told that she left school as well.
Someone at school said they live here.
I don't know where they are..
-her phone's unreachable too.
Do you know where they went?
No
You are..?
Im like a brother to her..
Ok.
Ok.Bye.
Leave me.
Please.
Please, Anand
Theyll do the same to you, if you dont obey.
They started it again!
They wont stop! Sarangapani
Meera
My baby I hope shes fine.
She must be scared!
I dont know what theyre doing.
I wont spare you!
Ill kill Sarangapani, Ramana, Gitthadu!
Ill kill them all!
An injection every two months is enough
Your work wont be interrupted.
We need her for two more years.
Two years? Thats risky.
Her hormones will change forever.
Think about it.
Well be jailed if this leaks.
his wife is already a mental patient.
Now the girl [ his daughter ]
I dont know what my punishment will be.
Human rights laws are strict.
You continue.
Fix a date with the Mangalore party.
Gitthadu called me.
We have to leave in two days.
The bills are with the governmentno rotation.
Nothing's working in my favour.
Ganapathi told me about it, so I asked you to come.
This has been going on for centuries.
Very few know how powerful a cats mucus is.
Such people ruled the world!
They still exist.
Kabali, Vikruthi, Shashti, Kesari
Big names in tantric practice.
Shashti is known for wish fulfillment.
The cat is the deitys mount.
Whoever possesses the cats mucus will reign!
Money, fame, women
hell have it all.
But its not easy to obtain.
Snakes consume their own babies after birth.
But no one sees an elephant die
-or a cat give birth.
A cat eats its own mucus after giving birth.
I hope you know wht it is.. mucus..
It has incredible powers.
Theres no guarantee with the musuc tht tribals sell.
Tantric texts explain how to obtain it.
Look This
A girl who hasnt begun menstruating must
-place the cat mucus in a pot.
A person performing Kechari Puja must carry it
-without dropping it or turning back.
Bury the pot south of the house
and plant thorny seeds.
As the seed grows,
-the person grows too.
The homeowner becomes invisible.
How to believe it?
Youll get to witness the cat giving birth.
That explains the cost.
Count it.
Well call you when the cat goes into labor.
Start immediately.
Itll be done this week.
Okay
Namaste.
Im going out of town.
Dont trouble Ramana.
Dont go into your moms room.
Should I bring you something?
I want to go to school.
Okay.
Ill take care of it.
You dont have to come out anymore.
Is this true?
Ya
Hey.. -Eat!
Didnt she tell you?
She served dinner.
-I slept after that.
Did she tell you anything?
Did she say where she went
-or when shed be back?
No.
I went to the kitchen this morning.
She wasnt there.
Its ringing,
-but shes not answering.
Do you think she became greedy?
Meera
Meera
Didnt we decide to meet Mom
-and talk to her today?
What if Dad comes home?
Hell be gone for a long time!
How do you know that?
I know. His puja must be completed.
That girl
I feel sorry for her.
Thats why we need to talk to Mom.
Mom must be talking to the wall.
She scares me.
Shell talk to us if we go inside.
Come.
A new girl
Just like my daughter
A little girl like Meera
Kechari
A little girl
A little girl
Like my daughter.
Like Meera
Mom, lets go somewhere far away.
Yes.
We should leave.
Somewhere far.
It wont end as long as Dad is alive.
Itll start again with another little girl.
Mom knows that.
Mom knows?
What do we do now?
Who are you talking to?
Honey is telling me that
it wont end while Dad is alive.
Honey?
Whos Honey?
My friend.
Look
She looks just like me.
She says shes my sister
Oh.
Are you talking to her?
Since when?
After the first cats death.
I can see her now.
Shes lying.
I feel sorry for her.
Dont blame her.
She never lies.
Okay.
How do we deal with Dad?
Mom, how should we handle Dad?
I dont know what to do.
Look at me. I wanted to
give you a better life.
I didnt see this coming.
Mom, lets do something.
Please mom.
Honey, please tell Mom.
Tell her I didnt like the doctor.
I dont want those injections.
I wont take them.
They make me sickvomiting,
diarrhea, and fever.
I dont feel like eating
Sleeping near that cat scares me.
I get so scared that..
-I wet myself.
Honey, tell her.
I want to go to school.
Honey, I dont want you.
I want my friends.
Shilpa, Deepthi, Wahida
I want to see them.
Play with them
I dont feel good when youre around.
Mom, lets leave.
Please.
Mom..Please.
Honey, tell her.
This will stop!
You wont have to worry anymore.
Meera, are you scared?
It is over!
Its all over!
While science progresses with AI,
-superstition continues to cast a dark shadow.
The recent Anand House murders shocked the public.
Police found piles of animal skeletons at Anands house.
The police have already arrested people linked to black magic.
Lalitha
Can you hear me?
We arrested your hunbands friend Sarangapani.
Sarangapani
Ill kill him.
Did you kill your husband?
I killed him.
I killed him.
What happened?
Why did you kill him?
Lalitha
It was a love marriage.
I asked him to get a job.
I imagined a happy life.
I kept telling him
-but he didnt listen.
There were fights and torture.
I endured it all for Meeras sake.
Pujas, books, chanting
he did it all for easy money.
Hes inhuman.
A monster.
He made our lives hell.
So I killed him.
I wanted to kill them all.
I wanted to kill them all.
All?
Sarangapani.
Ravana.
Ravana?
Whos he?
Tell me about Ravana..
Ravana is not a man.
Shes a monster.
She was my first kill.
Does Lalitha live here?
Yes.
Im from the sri chakra ashram
Its been a long time since she visited.
I wanted to check on her.
Shes sick.
What happened to her?
How is she? Can I see her?
Hes not home.
Meera
Why is she like this?
What happened to her?
Shes sick too
I want to meet her.
Okay, come in.
Meera..
Come with me..
Whats wrong?
What happened to you?
Shes sick too!
Where is Anand?
I told you, hes not home!
Who are you?
Im here to look after them.
Can I meet Lalitha?
Sit. Ill be back.
Someone named Achary came to see you.
He refuses to leave.
You sleep.
Ill handle him.
How many friends do you have?
Anand never told me about them.
Hey
leave me
MeeraMeeraMeera
Meera
Mom..
Meera..
She was like a sister to me.
I could tell she was in trouble.
She shared everything with me.
Then she never came back.
I started looking for them.
I found their address after three years.
I helped her hide the body.
There was nothing else I could do.
-Couldn't go to the police..
-And I couldnt take them with me.
I wish I had never said yes that day.
This is all because of me.
Mom
All because of me.
I ruined her life.
Lalitha, where is Meera?
Meera
Meera.. Meera..
Meera..
Shes free of troubles now.
My precious child
My precious child has no troubles.
Shes free now
My baby..She was like a flower.
So beautiful.
A good student.
She deserved better parents than us.
She was tortured.
By greedy monsters.
Because of their pujas.
My daughter suffered.
Her body was punctured with injections.
Sedatives and hormones.
Her body had already started rotting.
She was hallucinating.
She cant tell whats real and whats hallucination.
She wanted the pain to end.
She cried.
So, I set my daughter-
-free from all those troubles.
I set her free
MEERA: Mom, dont fight with Dad.
LALITHA: There wont be fights anymore.
MEERA: Dad, Im scared...
MEERA: I want to go to school.
MEERA: I feel sorry for her.
Dont blame her.
I sent her away..
BEEP
God is the light of human life.
Religion shows the right path to live.
But..
In search of easy money,
People falling into blind beliefs and superstitions are everywhere around us.
Ignoring God, they choose dark paths.
Over time, they lose their families and their place in society.
Even in an age of great scientific progress,
there are still dark, unknown people among us.
Their lives remain hidden, seen only as small news on the inside pages of newspapers.
This is the story of one such man.
The story of his family.
The story of a mother.
And the story of her daughter.
Mom.. will Honey come with us?
Mom, wheres she?
I dont see her.
Throw that rubbish out of the drawer!
Won't you let anyone in this office be at peace?!
I've been bringing this up, but no one seems to care.
Let's call the police..
They won't file reports for such matters.
Stop now, he might die.
Let's take this up with the management.
Lets go to HR and get him kicked out.
Thank God we caught him!
-Lets go
Hello, can you connect me to HR?
Anand, what happened?
Where did you get those wounds?
Dont cry, baby.
Let's go to the hospital.
You are bleeding.
Lost my job!
She was born at a cursed hour.
Nothings been right since then.
Change your ways first!
Tell me what you did!
Dont you dare blame her!
Asking me what I did!
I married you and this bad luck followed.
Whats wrong with you?
Why are you talking like this?
Anand...
Im talking to you.
Ill just come.
The grocer was here.
Didnt you pay them?
My salary got over.
Daughters fee was pending for long.
School sent a notice so I paid.
What now?
Should I beg the grocer?
Dont be angry.
Find a job.
My salary isnt enough to live on.
Wait for my deitys blessing.
Im getting close. Ill earn in millions.
You could've skipped her fee. It wouldn't matter.
Stop blaming her for your incompetence.
I dont need millions.
Stop asking for money for your rituals!
Else, earn for yourself!
How dare you!
So, your income has made you arrogant?
Take her and get lost!
Are you looking down on me
-because I left my family for you!
-Hey! Come out! -Come out!
Wait, listen to me.
Tell us what happened.
Whats he doing?
The entire colony is suffering because of him!
Either make him vacate,
-or sell the house and leave.
Why sell the house.
-Just make him leave.
Listen to me, please.
Let me talk. Please wait.
Talk to him!
Ok, please leave.
Come lets go..
please.
Why do I have to deal with this?
Take a couple of days.
It's ok if you don't settle your dues.
Please vacate.
Else, I wont be gentle.
Ill throw your stuff!
Why did you stop?
Mom, let's listen. The song's good.
I wish I could sing like that...
But mom, why did you stop singing?
Do you want to learn?
Mmm.

Shes going to join Sharadha Nikethan as a music teacher.
Whos that, dad?

I dont have a problem with it.
Need to convince my wife.
Do something.
Im ready to invest.
Our victory will benefit people worldwide.
Ill talk to her.
Im thinking about my daughter.
Thinking doesnt lead to results.
She is the reason I chose you.
The decision is yours.
Ill get going.
He isnt listening..
What do I do now?
What will happen now..
Why are you here?
I should ask you that.
Who was that?
What were you up to?
Whats going on?
Did you see everything?
Heard it as well.
What do you want to talk about?
Why is Meera needed?
What are you doing?
Dont shout!
Put an end to this.
I cant take it anymore.
Its ok if you dont work.
dont shout
I told you not to shout, didnt I?
The neighbors will hear!
Mom..
Let me be. Its my own karma.
Please, Dad, dont hurt her.
Mom..
Shut up! Dont utter a word!
Shut up! I said shut up!
Heard the screaming and ran over.
Whats wrong?
Thank you for your concern.
This is typical for couples.
You may leave.
Fights between couples happen often.
But these things should stay private.
Shouldnt fight in front of kids.
Meera will sleep at my home tonight.
What happened?
Fever ma'am..
I will overlook it this time.
When I woke up, Meera wasn't there.
She was sleeping on the sofa.
I hope everything's okay at home.
We just wanted to help.
Your husband might not
like that we came.
Dont worry about it.
It was a common fight.
I used to sing too,
spent 7 years learning..
-stopped after marriage.
Hes unwell.
I dont want the school to know about it..
Im mature enough to understand.
I didnt like that you stopped singing.
Meera..
-superstar, had lunch?
Wheres the napkin?
Mom, dont fight with Dad.
Even if you fight, dont
send me to Vidhya teachers house.
Whats wrong?
I wont send you there again.
I wont fight with your dad.
Promise.
Okay.
Can we talk normally?
For two minutes?
Dont ask who, why, or what
-and Ill listen.
Meera is growing up.
Lets not disturb her with fights.
I promised her home would be safe.
Lets stop.
I made a mistake
regarding her.
Wanted to talk to you.
There's something I have to do.
Things will be alright after that.
Ill do whatever it takes.
All I want is happiness for us.
Meeras happiness is important.
Im going out of town for 10 days.
Im leaving tonight.
Will tell you when I return.
Our lives will change, Lalitha.
Therell be a lot of money.
Lalitha, trust me.
Take Meera and go on vacation.
Vacation isnt necessary.
Well go to our gurujis retreat.
Okay, as you wish.
Mom, will we stay here
until Dad returns?
Yes, it will be peaceful here.
There wont be fights anymore.
Okay?
Yeah.
Are you Lalitha?
Yes.
Come, let's go.
Is it your first time?
Yes.
Lord Rama's festivities are going on.
You came at the perfect time.
You may see Guruji after 9AM.
Ok.
Come..
Breakfast will be served till 7AM
Lunch at 12:30PM.
You have to finish dinner by 8PM.
This is your room..
I will be at the shed

Dont worry.
Shes with Acharya.
Go that side, you will find her.
What about that wheel?
Cant you make it round?
Itll come.
This one, right?
Ill do this.
You came without telling me?
I was worried.
Why worry..
We love having her around.
She calls me her uncle.
Is it?
Did you like it here?
Loved it.
It would be great if we got to meet guruji.
Didnt get a chance to meet him.
Hes unwell.
I already spoke about you.
Do you live here?
Your family?
My father died when I was a kid.
Sister and mother..-had an accident
few years ago.
Came here after that.
Now, you all are my family.
Dont worry.
Im your sister
Shes your niece.
Will visit regularly.
For you..
What say?
Sure.
Keep in touch.
Sure.
Meera?
-Ok?
Bye uncle.
Bye.
May you live long.
Child, you are not at peace.
The worries are about to get worse!
Achary told me everything.
Hold on to your belief in God.
If peace is what you seek,
Keep coming here.
Take care of her.
Believe in Lord Ram.
Remember him when things get tough.
Lets go.
The Lords Palanquin is about to start.
Sri Chakra Ashram
Be ready,

Sarangapani has taken care of everything.
Hell send people to help shift.
Its a huge house!
Perfect according to Vastu.
Things will fall into place.
Come here
Dad

How do you want it to be?
Im fine with anything.
Ok.
If you want us to be together and happy
You need to do something.
I will.
Hello.
Yes..
Heard you're leaving..
This is for Meera
Take it.
Used to having her around.
Keep coming.
Can I visit her?
No, I will send them over.
Please dont take offense that I asked.
Bye.
I'll talk later..
Namaste.
Namaste.
Come.
This is our new home.
Your stuff has arrived.
Getting the soundproof room ready.
She's Ravana.
Shell help you settle in.
Shell also tutor Meera.
Get that.
Bedrooms over there.
Go freshen up.
Get her to practice with this.
Ravana will guide you.
Prepare Meera.
Well leave the day after.
Careful.
This isnt what you told me.
Didnt you say things get better soon?
We came because
we trusted you!
Who are these people? I'm scared.
Leave this Anand.
You brought us right back.
Listen to me.
Ill do whatever you say...
She's a little girl,
Leave her.
I'll do it instead.
Please.
Please.
We need young girls for this.
That's why Sarangapani chose us.
Please Lalitha.
Prepare Meera.
I'll make sure she's fine.
Trust me.
She's my daughter too?
Don't you think I'm responsible?
This is just the advance.
Lot of money..
We'll make a lot of money.
Remember what I told you?
Do whatever Dad asks, okay?
Dont be scared.
Dont trouble him.
come
Take this
Take that, Meera.
Dad, somethings inside...
Dont worry.
Only you can take it.
Thats why I brought you here.
Your mom told you, right?
Take it.
Dad, Im scared...
its moving.
How old is she?
We have to be very careful.
It shouldnt be put down or passed on..
She didnt get her periods right?
Go ahead.
Im scared dad.
Take it Meera.
Careful sir.
Nowadays, girls get their periods by age 10.
Look after her till the work is done.
Or else, all our efforts will fail.
Mom
Meera
Time has passed..
The wound is gone.
The shore is uncertain,
A sorrow without an end.
Though known,
I still hesitatelost in turmoil.
Unaware, in the burning nights shadow,
Is it you?
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
When the parched fields turn wet
wont the desert tremble?
Crushing a little life,
does it reach the demons wall?
When eyes are shut,
will time really stop?
When the past is left behind,
will the wound ever heal?
Time has passed,
The wound is gone.
The shore is uncertain,
A sorrow without an end.
When darkness swallows the entire path,
shall I become the lamp that remembers you?
When winds and storms chase after us,
will I become the shield that covers your star?
When the directions themselves bow down
You cradle and nurture us
When danger surrounds us
You appear as a motherly goddess
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Jo jo laali
Dont come in.
Move!
Meera.. come..
You have to take it forward from here.
Careful.
Come here!
come here
Im beginning the puja.
How long has it been?
All set?
Um.
We got the opportunity.
It should be used correctly.
Check on the cat.
Meera
Did it drop?
4 kittens.
More to come.
Did the mucus fall?
Pull immediately, dont waste time!
We'll come back in 10 days.
-Need one more.
You can arrange it, right?
It is difficult but I'll try.
Theyll take it out of the country.
Is the child ok?
If she starts her period..
I spoke to a doctor and made
-arrangements to delay her puberty.
Will your wife agree!
She won't.
But our work wont stop. Ill take care of it.
Go. Do what I told you.
Mom, dont cry.
Please dont cry.
Mom, please.
Is it done?
When will doctor come?
Shell start after this drink.
Must be on her way.
Mom...
Dont disturb her!
Mom...
Shes sick.
Doctor will be here soon.
Let her rest.
meera
She needs daily injections.
Will be unconscious for 24 hours.
What about medicine?
These are rare mushrooms found
-only in the forests of Chhattisgarh.
Give two more doses.
She will lose mental stability for 5 years.
She may become violent after injection.
It will be hard to control her.
Be prepared.
What?
Going to see mom.
Shes sick.
-dont disturb her.
Ill just see her.
Dont you get it?
Mom!
Who are you?
You know who I am.
I'm scared.
Im your sister. Why scared?
Sister?
Whats your name?
I dont have one.
Shall I name you a name?
Mom called me Honey when I was young.
Honey.. its nice.
My names Honey. Ok?
Know why mom got sick?
Why?
Because its easier to take you out if Moms sick.
Want to see her?
Yes, but Ravana wont let me.
She locked the room.
I know where keys are.
BabyDoctor wants to see you.
Isnt it mom who's sick?
You were feeling fatigued, right?
Shell give injections for strength.
Wait outside.
Meera, we are going out tomorrow.
Do as doctor says, ok?
Please no.
Im scared of injections.
Dad, it hurts.
I want to go to school.
I don't want to go with you.
Ill stay with Mom.
Moms sick.
Admitting her to hospital.
Lets go out, ok?
Please Dad.
Please Dad.
Ill take you to mom today.
Will she be alright?
Depends on Dad and his friends.
I dont like the doctor.
Shes no doctor!
I dont like Ravana either.
Me too.
They wont send you to school!
How do you know?
Dad said I can go back to school after mom returns.
They wont take her to the hospital.
There will be another cat after this one has kittens.
It wont stop.
Know where Lalitha teacher stays?
Ask there.
That one?
Hello.
Hello.
Looking for teacher Lalitha.
They vacated a year ago.
Oh..
was told that she left school as well.
Someone at school said they live here.
I don't know where they are..
-her phone's unreachable too.
Do you know where they went?
No
You are..?
Im like a brother to her..
Ok.
Ok.Bye.
Leave me.
Please.
Please, Anand
Theyll do the same to you, if you dont obey.
They started it again!
They wont stop! Sarangapani
Meera
My baby I hope shes fine.
She must be scared!
I dont know what theyre doing.
I wont spare you!
Ill kill Sarangapani, Ramana, Gitthadu!
Ill kill them all!
An injection every two months is enough
Your work wont be interrupted.
We need her for two more years.
Two years? Thats risky.
Her hormones will change forever.
Think about it.
Well be jailed if this leaks.
his wife is already a mental patient.
Now the girl [ his daughter ]
I dont know what my punishment will be.
Human rights laws are strict.
You continue.
Fix a date with the Mangalore party.
Gitthadu called me.
We have to leave in two days.
The bills are with the governmentno rotation.
Nothing's working in my favour.
Ganapathi told me about it, so I asked you to come.
This has been going on for centuries.
Very few know how powerful a cats mucus is.
Such people ruled the world!
They still exist.
Kabali, Vikruthi, Shashti, Kesari
Big names in tantric practice.
Shashti is known for wish fulfillment.
The cat is the deitys mount.
Whoever possesses the cats mucus will reign!
Money, fame, women
hell have it all.
But its not easy to obtain.
Snakes consume their own babies after birth.
But no one sees an elephant die
-or a cat give birth.
A cat eats its own mucus after giving birth.
I hope you know wht it is.. mucus..
It has incredible powers.
Theres no guarantee with the musuc tht tribals sell.
Tantric texts explain how to obtain it.
Look This
A girl who hasnt begun menstruating must
-place the cat mucus in a pot.
A person performing Kechari Puja must carry it
-without dropping it or turning back.
Bury the pot south of the house
and plant thorny seeds.
As the seed grows,
-the person grows too.
The homeowner becomes invisible.
How to believe it?
Youll get to witness the cat giving birth.
That explains the cost.
Count it.
Well call you when the cat goes into labor.
Start immediately.
Itll be done this week.
Okay
Namaste.
Im going out of town.
Dont trouble Ramana.
Dont go into your moms room.
Should I bring you something?
I want to go to school.
Okay.
Ill take care of it.
You dont have to come out anymore.
Is this true?
Ya
Hey.. -Eat!
Didnt she tell you?
She served dinner.
-I slept after that.
Did she tell you anything?
Did she say where she went
-or when shed be back?
No.
I went to the kitchen this morning.
She wasnt there.
Its ringing,
-but shes not answering.
Do you think she became greedy?
Meera
Meera
Didnt we decide to meet Mom
-and talk to her today?
What if Dad comes home?
Hell be gone for a long time!
How do you know that?
I know. His puja must be completed.
That girl
I feel sorry for her.
Thats why we need to talk to Mom.
Mom must be talking to the wall.
She scares me.
Shell talk to us if we go inside.
Come.
A new girl
Just like my daughter
A little girl like Meera
Kechari
A little girl
A little girl
Like my daughter.
Like Meera
Mom, lets go somewhere far away.
Yes.
We should leave.
Somewhere far.
It wont end as long as Dad is alive.
Itll start again with another little girl.
Mom knows that.
Mom knows?
What do we do now?
Who are you talking to?
Honey is telling me that
it wont end while Dad is alive.
Honey?
Whos Honey?
My friend.
Look
She looks just like me.
She says shes my sister
Oh.
Are you talking to her?
Since when?
After the first cats death.
I can see her now.
Shes lying.
I feel sorry for her.
Dont blame her.
She never lies.
Okay.
How do we deal with Dad?
Mom, how should we handle Dad?
I dont know what to do.
Look at me. I wanted to
give you a better life.
I didnt see this coming.
Mom, lets do something.
Please mom.
Honey, please tell Mom.
Tell her I didnt like the doctor.
I dont want those injections.
I wont take them.
They make me sickvomiting,
diarrhea, and fever.
I dont feel like eating
Sleeping near that cat scares me.
I get so scared that..
-I wet myself.
Honey, tell her.
I want to go to school.
Honey, I dont want you.
I want my friends.
Shilpa, Deepthi, Wahida
I want to see them.
Play with them
I dont feel good when youre around.
Mom, lets leave.
Please.
Mom..Please.
Honey, tell her.
This will stop!
You wont have to worry anymore.
Meera, are you scared?
It is over!
Its all over!
While science progresses with AI,
-superstition continues to cast a dark shadow.
The recent Anand House murders shocked the public.
Police found piles of animal skeletons at Anands house.
The police have already arrested people linked to black magic.
Lalitha
Can you hear me?
We arrested your hunbands friend Sarangapani.
Sarangapani
Ill kill him.
Did you kill your husband?
I killed him.
I killed him.
What happened?
Why did you kill him?
Lalitha
It was a love marriage.
I asked him to get a job.
I imagined a happy life.
I kept telling him
-but he didnt listen.
There were fights and torture.
I endured it all for Meeras sake.
Pujas, books, chanting
he did it all for easy money.
Hes inhuman.
A monster.
He made our lives hell.
So I killed him.
I wanted to kill them all.
I wanted to kill them all.
All?
Sarangapani.
Ravana.
Ravana?
Whos he?
Tell me about Ravana..
Ravana is not a man.
Shes a monster.
She was my first kill.
Does Lalitha live here?
Yes.
Im from the sri chakra ashram
Its been a long time since she visited.
I wanted to check on her.
Shes sick.
What happened to her?
How is she? Can I see her?
Hes not home.
Meera
Why is she like this?
What happened to her?
Shes sick too
I want to meet her.
Okay, come in.
Meera..
Come with me..
Whats wrong?
What happened to you?
Shes sick too!
Where is Anand?
I told you, hes not home!
Who are you?
Im here to look after them.
Can I meet Lalitha?
Sit. Ill be back.
Someone named Achary came to see you.
He refuses to leave.
You sleep.
Ill handle him.
How many friends do you have?
Anand never told me about them.
Hey
leave me
MeeraMeeraMeera
Meera
Mom..
Meera..
She was like a sister to me.
I could tell she was in trouble.
She shared everything with me.
Then she never came back.
I started looking for them.
I found their address after three years.
I helped her hide the body.
There was nothing else I could do.
-Couldn't go to the police..
-And I couldnt take them with me.
I wish I had never said yes that day.
This is all because of me.
Mom
All because of me.
I ruined her life.
Lalitha, where is Meera?
Meera
Meera.. Meera..
Meera..
Shes free of troubles now.
My precious child
My precious child has no troubles.
Shes free now
My baby..She was like a flower.
So beautiful.
A good student.
She deserved better parents than us.
She was tortured.
By greedy monsters.
Because of their pujas.
My daughter suffered.
Her body was punctured with injections.
Sedatives and hormones.
Her body had already started rotting.
She was hallucinating.
She cant tell whats real and whats hallucination.
She wanted the pain to end.
She cried.
So, I set my daughter-
-free from all those troubles.
I set her free
MEERA: Mom, dont fight with Dad.
LALITHA: There wont be fights anymore.
MEERA: Dad, Im scared...
MEERA: I want to go to school.
MEERA: I feel sorry for her.
Dont blame her.
I sent her away..
BEEP
