Maharaja Hostel (2026) Movie Script

Don't think they are going to come
Here comes the call.
Hello.
I can't find them here.
What, they're not there?
As-salamu alaykum.
-Wa alaykum as-salam.
-No problem.
-Wa alaykum as-salam.
Walk!
That was risky!
Listen...
You think those girls are those guys?
Oh, everyone's here!
Next is me.
-No, me!
-Stop pushing!
You can go after me!
I'm next!
Move!
Kissed?!
What?!
Come here, you!
Oh,God!
I've got bad hair fall, you see!
Run, run!
I'm on the run!
-What about the best money?
-Settle accounts later! Run!
Here. stuff your face!
Dice on a roll
or a spinning roulette wheel?
Spinning around like a freshly shuffled
deck of cards
Wild bandits or giant mythical monsters
Who really knows?
To the town,
are they trouble or the real deal?
At home, are they angels in disguise?
Or just a bunch of lovable loonies
at play?
-Here, hold this.
-I don't need it.
Hold it, I need to pee.
Your lungs are like a sponge.
What's wrong with kids these days, Father?
Oh, Jesus.
He smacks if I smoke.
He smacks even when I don't smoke.
Might as well smoke and get smacked.
Every day they show up
in a brand-new avatar
The three of them tear through
every corner in sight
Drifting together like a kite
on the wind
If the string snaps loose,
don't tie it back again
Let it break free
and soar across the sky!
Put them in a bed
and they're out in a flash
Set them loose
and they're off in a dash
Why are you turning your back to drink?
Out of respect.
Dice on a roll
or a spinning roulette wheel?
Spinning around like a freshly shuffled
deck of cards
Wild bandits or giant mythical monsters
Who really knows?
To the town,
are they trouble or the real deal?
At home, are they angels in disguise?
Or just a bunch of lovable loonies
at play?
-Mom.
-Yes.
-Mom...
-Yeah?
Oh God, please protect us.
What! Chicken fry?!
Give that here.
How vulgar!
Just get lost!
Mom, why can't you make this
child understand?
Chugging down the fun
till the sparks fly!
Tangled in mischief
till destiny starts to blur
So vulgar!
Who'd believe these wandering rascals
are gentlemen?
Four crores here
and two crores there.
Take the profit and invest it here.
Okay, right?
You too, right?
-And you?
-Did your exam results come out?
That's why no one succeeds in life here.
Every day they show up
in a brand-new avatar
The three of them tear through
every corner in sight
Be it a jungle deep
or a rushing river stream
A mountain peak or a roaring lion's den
Wherever they roam,
they're sticking together
-Finished!
-What?
-That's it, everything's over!
-What do you mean?
It's over, me becoming a chef,
him becoming a fashion designer.
Really?
I was listening to the live telecast
of our families' meeting.
Their plan is to make us engineers.
What?
-Engineers?!
-Yes.
What are we going to do?
What can we do?
There's nothing to do.
I could tell from Mom's recent taunts,
this was bound to happen.
Uff! You two go do engineering if you want.
I'm going to speak to my dad
and learn fashion designing.
-Hey! Don't be so depressed!
-Easy for you to say!
-This isn't a setback.
-Then?
This is the future!
Let me keep this here.
Listen up!
A distant uncle of mine once said
if you study engineering,
you can become anything!
Look here, that also means
we dive into the world of fashion,
taste, freedom, chicks and chilling
and fly high up like an ostrich bird.
Mummy!
Look over there! He's beating them up!
That thrill will end right now.
Just move a little.
Leave some space for him.
Hey Midhun!
Keep thrashing!
Why can't these guys understand, man?
Hey!
The seniors will command.
And the juniors will obey.
We literally just got here.
Think of this as an advance.
If anyone asks just say,
you're the ones who got
the welcome smack from Vibe Shambu.
Can you please repeat that name?
Vibe Shambu.
Okay.
Psst!
What's it, huh?
Oh, it was a guy.
There were so many departments here
and you had to choose Mech, huh?
Be glad we got this at least!
It's been days since classes started
and not a single female admission
has come in yet.
-Exactly.
-Look!
It looks like a men's ward in a hospital.
Give some time, they'll come.
Looks like it's about to rain.
It's our sir!
-Bro, cigarette please.
-I had sent it.
-We'll borrow the matchbox from sir.
-You didn't get it?
One is enough.
An average cigarette
gives around 10 to 15 puffs.
Like egg puffs?
Not puffs, man! Puff!
Six for me.
Six for you.
-Three for him.
-What, man?
Why the partiality, dude?
You just started smoking, right?
Learn to smoke first, kid.
Then we'll see.
Hey, no cribbing once you get the ciggie.
Give that here.
You're wasting precious drags
just holding it like a statue.
Not just that
if we reduce the time between puffs,
we can squeeze in more puffs too.
Behold the power of Mech students!
-Damn it!
-It's not damned, it's locked.
You said we'll be flying high
like ostrich birds!
So much hype!
The most in-demand college...
And hardly ten or fifteen people show up.
And seven of them are stuck in the hostel.
This place is as strict as the Emergency!
This is all because Ara's out of his mind!
Just look at us and say something!
It's not ten or fifteen.
There are exactly
sixteen people in college.
Just shut up!
There will always be struggles
when you come to study.
We don't have a single penny on us!
Can't even buy smokes or bottles!
Even "Honeybee" is expensive!
Can you morons just shut the hell up!
Can't you hear this guy whining?
-Get lost, you dog!
-Thank you!
Continue.
Since income's missing,
expenses better hide too.
Without telling our family,
without them knowing...
You mean, bank?
Treasury? ATM?
Those things are still expenses!
Then?
None of that!
Let's look for a cheap hostel.
That means whatever we get from home,
we can pocket most of it.
And we'll go from tight broke
to rolling in cash.
Yuck!
What do you mean yuck?
No, it's a good idea.
Why won't they give room to bachelors?
Let's look over there.
Oh, no! A dog! Run!
Mummy!
You think this place is for humans?
What the hell!
Everything is so expensive in Kochi!
A distant uncle once told me,
even being broke in Kochi
costs 100 rupees.
And where's that uncle now?
He's in Kottayam.
Do you've 100 on you right now?
Nope.
Great! So, we're not in poverty yet.
That's true.
Even as a military kid
with a solid liquor quota,
it's the first time in my life
I'm seeing a drought like this.
Hey!
Found the perfect hostel for us!
This is what I was talking about!
How's it?
What is this, man?
A haunted house?
No, a ghost-inn!
Listen...
is this actually cheap?
What do you mean if it's cheap?!
If you need something cheaper than this,
you'll have to go to the KSRTC bus stand.
I'm not that cheap.
Well then, this hostel is cheap
and everything else around it
is just as cheap!
For example?
For example...
MGR.
He's the Prime Minister here.
When he falls asleep,
this hostel wakes up.
When he wakes up,
this hostel falls asleep.
So, when should we sleep?
You can sleep whenever you want.
-Arrange them!
-What, brother?
Arrange the boxes!
MGR sir.
Oh, you're here.
Come on in.
Also, let me tell you one thing right away.
This place has two floors.
The big one is upstairs
and the small one is downstairs.
You decide which floor
matches your standards.
-Okay?
-Sorry...
-Go inside and talk.
-So, Bhai...
what about other facilities?
Bhai?!
It's MGR!
There are two kinds of facilities.
For example, water connection,
if you turn the tap downstairs,
the water will come.
What about upstairs?
There's no tap upstairs.
So, there's no point turning.
You'll need to carry it upstairs.
Great!
-Next one, lights.
-Do we need to carry that upstairs too?
No need. Just switch it on.
It'll light up.
-Phew!
-And one more thing.
If you need to use the bathroom,
you'll need to remove the bulb in the room.
Then, it's European downstairs.
What about upstairs?
There's Indian upstairs.
Isn't that enough?
What, man!
Even if it's Indian, European
or straight outta Pakistan
what's coming out is still the same, right?
Oho!
Are you getting a TC before admission?
Sorry, sir! Please continue!
Do you want standard or premium?
It's a palace!
-Is this the room?
-How's it?
Isn't it more than enough?
This itself is a luxury!
You can decide
if you want standard or premium.
-That's correct.
-Who lives in standard?
No one is there. Standard is empty.
But there are some Tamilians
and Bengalis in premium.
Oh, that's all.
We are standard people.
Take this.
-So standard is enough.
-Sure thing.
No need to count.
It's correct.
We counted some ten times.
Still, let me check.
Oh, no!
What's this, brother?
Just one leaf is missing.
The other two will manage the breeze!
-It will.
-What the...
Of course. Even if one leaf if missing,
there's no problem.
There will be breeze.
Listen up...
it's alright if you study and fail.
On the floor downstairs,
we have 100% placement.
Phew! What a relief!
Welcome to Maharaja Hostel.
Thank you.
What, man!
Yo Ara!
This is the best hostel!
Kisses!
We're going to fly like an ostrich bird!
Like this!
Eeny Meeny Miney Mo,
which undie's good to go?
Blue!
Inky Pinky Ponky, father had a donkey.
Donkey died, father cried.
Inky Pinky Ponky.
Whatever!
This isn't the "graphics" we were promised.
At least one girl would've helped.
This emotional damage needs treatment.
We'll need medicine to fix this pain.
And those medicines
will be the death of us.
-I don't know, man...
-They'll come.
They'll show up.
Who's that?
Who...
Teacher, is there anyone left to join?
Who's left?
There's no one.
-Sigh.
-Sit down.
You bloody!
Didn't you say
we'd be sitting right between girls?
I never said that!
You did say! You did! You did!
No! No! No!
You did! You did! You did!
NO! NO! NO!
Oh, dear...
Look, it's Deepika.
-Which Deepika?
-Deepika OD.
OD? Overdosed on what?
Dasan's daughter, Deepika OD.
What?
So this is why you picked this college!
So this was your high-demand course?!
You played us, you Brutus!
-She's coming!
-I'll kill you!
Ah, it's you guys!
Hi Deepika OD.
Hi!
-Oh, a miracle!
-Isn't it?
Can you not use my initial OD?
Who's talking about overdosing?
Just be quiet.
Why are you guys standing here?
-Our admission isn't ready yet.
-That's right.
Alright then, I'll get going.
Of course you should go!
Ta ta!
You dragged us all the way here
just for her!
You tried to turn a future five-star
hotel chef into a greasy mechanic!
-Listen I--
-We were absolute fools to trust him.
What did you say?
-"Engineers can do anything!" my foot.
-I meant--
Did Deepika tell you she likes you?
Did she ever?
Not clearly...
Then did she mumble?
Not mumbled either...
But she will say.
-I'll make her say it!
-You loser!
-Deepika...
-You pathetic loser!
Man, you are absolute waste.
Right, right!
A total snake of a friend.
Midhun, let us divorce him.
-Let's break up.
-Come on.
-Come.
-Hey!
-Get lost!
-Hey!
Get lost, man!
So guys...
This is the most haunted
and mysterious place here.
There's some sound.
Let's go check it out. Okay?
This is the room
where a family hanged themselves
one by one, 25 years ago.
They say no one who enters this room
ever comes back.
Let's see what's inside.
Got scared?
So...
The sounds you hear...
laughter,
cackling,
jingling...
do you know which room they're coming from?
Come on.
I'll show you.
So, look over here.
This is the secret!
This is all set up
so people can get drunk
without disturbance.
To keep others away at night,
they say it's haunted,
full of ghosts and all.
Stop watching those ghost videos, man.
They really set the mood!
What mood?
Horror mood.
Yet another haunted house
and same conclusion.
No ghosts. No spirits.
No demons or demonic entities...
Just stories people made up to
scare others.
Hey...
Hey!
Hey...
Humans here are scarier than ghosts, no?
That's right.
-Listen--
-How about...
the two of us go and eat?
Yeah, let us.
Come.
He's here.
Every day,
it's the same porridge in this hostel.
He messed with us
so we kicked him out of the gang.
We don't want porridge.
So you guys benched one out of three?
-We didn't bench him.
-Then?
He was kicked out.
That's good.
Finish up and go.
How dare they!
HEY!
Bloody mosquito!
Are you guys going to talk to me or not?
Are you going to talk to me or not?!
I'll show you!
I'll show you!
How's he going to show us anything
with the lights off?
Are you two married or what,
stuck like glue?
Ufff!
Oh, mother!
I can't imagine a life without my friends.
I'm leaving this room to kill myself--
Midhun!
Wake up, Midhun!
It's a suicide novel.
What's wrong with you, man!
A suicide novel!
Speak clearly, man!
An invitation letter to kill oneself!
Come with me.
-Hey...
-Where did those losers go?
I can't imagine a life without my friends.
I'm coming. Here I jump!
Jumping... jumping...
Listen up, Ara.
Don't go overboard.
Stop talking nonsense
when someone is seriously going to die.
Then why were you waiting for us
for so long?
Why didn't you just jump?
I'm not interested in talking to people
who don't understand my pain.
First you come down.
We'll find a solution.
No, I won't come!
We can understand your pain.
What we don't understand is
this drama of yours!
I'm going to jump! I'll jump!
You trapped us here
and you want to die alone, you rascal!
What a pain!
Come here.
Then grab my hand.
It's your need, you come here.
It was my idea or I'd have killed you guys.
I can't do without you guys!
Okay.
We are convinced.
Can you help me with Deepika?
Didn't you just say
we're the most important to you?
Please, please, please! Please, please!
Okay, okay, okay.
You're trying really hard
to become the convincing star.
Starting tomorrow, Deepika is ours.
-Ours?
-Yes, ours!
As if!
Hey!
What's all this racket at midnight?
Time is two.
Stop yapping and go to sleep!
Walk, walk.
My letter!
It's no love letter.
Why should we sleep
just because he says so?
Because we're sleepy. Why?
Aren't you sleepy?
Yes, I am...
Then go to sleep.
But who is he, man?
-Who knows!
-Go to sleep.
Oh, my mother!
The Mullaperiyar dam has burst!
Good morning.
Good morning?
At four in the morning?!
Who the hell are you, man?
You've been tormenting us since last night!
You won't let me sleep or die!
I'm your aunt's brother-in-law!
Why are you here at this hour,
brother-in-law?
Did Aunty kick you out?
Don't you mess with the brother-in-law!
In this territory,
I'm your aunty, your brother-in-law,
your cop, and your army.
You can address me as Warden.
I'm this hostel's warden.
Warden?!
-Was that part of our package?
-Who knows!
My job isn't just to track
your curfew hours.
I can discipline you in ways
your own parents wouldn't dare attempt!
No wonder this place is empty.
-Any more questions?
-Nope, I am completely clear.
Oh, don't wrap up your doubts so fast.
I will slowly clear them for you.
And what if we don't like your terms?
Pack up your garbage and get out!
If you're staying,
we start from scratch.
Now go and study!
First, at least let us dry off our heads!
True length of a line whose projections...
are...
Let the ones sleeping keep sleeping.
Don't disturb them.
It's not like they contribute
when they're awake either.
Through length and angle made by it.
Hold my hand.
-Okay.
-One...
Two... Three... Then like this.
How sweet!
-Shall I keep my hand like this?
-Yes, as long as it's good touch.
-Let's try once more.
-Everybody, full power!
Make sure it's correct.
-They're doing it nicely, no?
-Ready, one, two, three, start.
-Five, six, seven, eight.
-Shambu is doing well.
-Not like that. Let's do it together.
-So colourful.
Okay? One, two, three, four.
Five, six...
Seven, eight...
Hold...
And turn...
Yes... sweet!
Look into my eyes.
Okay, right?
Oh, poor Mech guys.
Let them see the girls.
Get lost!
They look like couples, no?
-Guys, try once more.
Deepika, you may rest.
Others, try again.
It's okay, I'll do it again.
What are you doing here?
Miss, we were just... you know, dance...
That's right.
If you stand here,
will they take you for dance?
Nobody informed the talented ones.
I don't usually wake up people
who sleep in my class.
Like this.
How's this?
That crooked senior looks insanely sharp.
He's more than a challenge,
he's a whole level up.
Just hold my hand.
-Why is he holding her hand?
-I don't do simple steps.
You think this guy can do anything?
He's got the whole vibe.
This one's just flop-type!
Why do you think I can't?
You haven't seen the romantic in me yet.
For that, at least one woman in
Kerala has to give you a chance.
Him!
Into my eyes...
We need to bring him down.
-Like this...
-Like this?
You're already down as it is.
Just come.
Let's go to the canteen and eat.
Bloody fools!
If Kanchana was Moideen's...
Deepika is for Ara.
Even if that means killing someone!
Will Kanchana come if Moideen is dead?
I don't want love that involves
killing someone.
Tell me if there's any other way.
By another way, you mean...
something simple?
Simple but...
very creative.
How about we creatively break his legs?
Legs?!
Yes, legs.
Then he won't dance anymore, no?
Or walk.
But we'll be set.
But breaking legs is...
-We don't have to break it ourselves.
-Then?
Then? Will it break by itself?
An accident!
-Accident...
-Hey!
What's cooking here?
We were discussing and studying,
Warden sir ji.
Yes, haan ji!
Turn.
-Turn it, man.
-Eh?
What?
Flip the book right side up, you idiot.
First let the progress report come.
Then let's see if there's any progress.
Then we shall decide.
If we need to turn the book
or turn your whole head!
Sit and study!
Bloody discussion!
It's not Vibe who we must kill,
it is this guy!
Is he some ghost or banshee?
That demon doesn't sleep or what!
Eh? What's this?
Alright, then.
He'll probably throw all our plans
into the dark!
Whatever's meant to happen in the dark
should be planned in the dark too.
Hmm... you're right.
I'll hold my finger like this and just...
Sigh...
Good morning, sir.
Where do you monkeys think you're going?
With your monkey caps.
-We've decided to walk the better path.
-Great.
So, we're starting by actually walking.
-Hope that walk takes you somewhere good?
-It will, step by step.
Or we'll make our own path.
Am I right?
Go on.
Come.
How many beatings should we give him?
How many times should I tell you, Ara?
We're not here to beat him up.
Just to break.
How do you break without beating, you fool?
This guy!
Did you understand what his plan is?
My plan is that the three of us go.
Also, don't forget your masks.
Shambu comes.
We go down the stairs.
Shambu climbs the stairs.
Shambu comes up again.
One kick.
Shambu falls head-first.
Operation success.
-How's it?
-Wait up, just stop.
Isn't this about my love?
So, I'll kick him.
Okay.
Look, Shambu is coming.
Listen up, Ara! We're striking down
one of the most sought-after
emotions of our college, for you!
Don't I also have emotions?
Why can't you understand that?
You and your bloody emotions!
Seriously, was this guy raised
by a pack of stray dogs or what?
Why is Shambu bro lagging so much?
Just come up, will you!
Is he on a loop or something?
Is he even going to come?
Let's go and have a black tea?
Yeah.
I don't need help from any of you losers.
I can do it myself.
-Hey!
-Hey, listen...
He's going to ruin it.
There he goes.
-Run, run!
-What happened?
It's time for my dance practice.
Aravind, go slow!
Who's going to dance now?
We need someone
who won't break his leg so easily.
They also need to dance well.
One, two, three!
Repeat. One...
Two... three...
-One, two?
-Are they looking?
One, two, three.
-One, two, three.
-Listen...
How about we try him?
-They're looking.
-One, two...
-Three...
-Keep doing it till they call you.
-Right.
-One, two, three.
One, two, three.
-Hey, Aravind!
-Two...
Three...
-Me?
-Yes.
Do one thing.
Keep practising what I taught you.
Sure, okay.
One, two, three!
-One, two...
-Oops, sorry!
You don't know how to dance,
do you, Aravind?
-What?
-Do you know how to dance?
I want to dance everything from
Jackson's Dangerous
To Vijay's Arabic Kuthu.
But there's a small lag between
where my eyes go and where my leg follows.
It's okay, I'll help you fix that lag.
Let's do another step. Like this.
Did we walk into a garden or a dance class?
One, two, three!
Your eyes pull me in like a magnet
Sweet as a Cornetto, melting my heart
Like a Beethoven tune that lingers on
If those moonlit lips just say yes
Desire blooms within me
Like an unfading rainbow
woven by the clouds
Painted in seven brilliant hues
The smile you wear so effortlessly
Floods my entire soul all over again
Brother, two teas.
Brother, two teas.
Every time we see you,
we're reminded of your dad.
We hate your father.
But I like your father.
-Ew!
-I also don't like.
Brother, four teas.
Like a lonely planet,
you drift alone through the Milky Way
Like a silver moon
I'll swing through heavens
And lose myself in you
Like a gleaming white dove
I'll fly by your side
Let's lock eyes
and ride the chariot of lightning
Through this endless magical night
Like an unfading rainbow
woven by the clouds
Painted in seven brilliant hues
The smile you wear so effortlessly
Floods my entire soul all over again
Everyone, go home
and rest for the next two days.
But make sure you're here early
for Freshers' Day, got it?
-Let's rock it!
-Yes, let us!
Yay!
Deeps and I are going to set
the stage on fire with our chemistry.
Yeah, go burn it down.
Hope the audience doesn't set the
place on fire after seeing your chemistry.
Get lost!
Look at this step. This is the main one.
Yeah, right.
Who's he?
Complan boy.
Those legs...
Chak de India.
Aravind.
Varkey.
Midhun.
Heroism.
-Nice one.
-Shambu bro.
-What happened to your leg?
-HEY!
I already gave you a welcome smack.
And still, you guys
managed to scratch my back!
Isn't this...
...mine?
Renju and Susmi balled their eyes out
when they saw my leg.
Their tears feel like daggers
straight to my heart.
If I let you walk after making them cry,
I can't face them again.
So...
I'll decide your fate.
If we mess up now,
the principal and our families will know.
That'll be game over for our hostel days.
So, let's be quiet, guys.
How can you be so poetic at this time?
Be quiet, will you!
Tell me, Shambu bro.
Shambu bro...
The wrestling warrior
is removing his shirt.
I'm just getting started.
Bro, why don't you give it some thought?
There aren't enough of us
for everyone to take a swing.
You made Renju and Susmi cry.
What else do you expect me to do?!
Bro, if it's about Renju and Susmi,
you don't worry...
I can explain it to them.
-Yes, he'll take care of it.
-No need.
I'm not letting you off that easy.
You should let them go.
Who was that?
Yes...
But we'll decide where they go.
Which was the place they said?
That place is like a jungle.
Should we really go because they said so?
Or the seniors will skin us alive.
Why did you stop here?
I don't think we can go any further.
-Oh, no...
-Both of you, off.
-Me too?
-Get down!
Shall we walk?
According to the map,
we need to go straight.
-Should we go?
-Yes.
Come.
It says straight ahead.
Keep walking.
Calm down and come along.
Ten more steps to the left
and we'll reach.
Don't go that way, it's a ditch!
Stay straight.
This looks like an ancient forest.
And somehow Google Maps knows it.
-Listen...
This whole vibe is giving me the creeps.
Don't think so much.
It's very simple.
The three of us go in,
pick up the red cloth...
What's it, man?
We grab it, just like that
and go hand it over.
-Piece of cake.
-Simple.
-Are you scared?
-Yes, a little bit.
We're not even scared of the hostel warden,
-let alone this.
-Correct.
Okay, now I'm actually scared.
This guy!
How about we drink away that fear?
Yes! Bring it out!
[in unison] Cheers!
Don't sing.
It's a bore.
Are you sure this drink
makes the fear disappear?
But why do you think Shambu bro wants
that red cloth?
Listen... there's a problem.
What?
Someone come with me, I need to pee.
-Get lost!
-Please come.
Just take this and go.
-Go on.
-Please...
Just go.
I don't know why he wants the red cloth.
But Deepika is mine.
Deepika is mine.
-Mine...
-Not your mine.
My mine.
-Myne...
-Hey...
-Do you hear that sound?
-Nah.
Probably some radio.
A radio? In the middle of the forest?
Doesn't that sound like a woman?
Nice ambience...
Hey, should we go?
Get lost!
-Let's check out who it is.
-I'm scared...
Don't be scared, we're with you.
Don't go. Just wait.
Look! A gazebo!
Is that Shreya Ghosal singing?
The song we heard before.
Okay, now I'm scared.
The brave ones go first.
Go!
-Sis...
-Sister!
-Sis...
-Got too much attitude, huh, sis?
Hey...
Let's go...
If you just give us that red cloth,
we will leave.
Yes, we'd be gone.
Could you hand it over?
Won't you give it to us, sis?
She didn't give?
She's not saying anything.
Come, let's go back.
Alright, Shreya Ghosal, we're off.
Did she leave?
-Where'd she go?
-Show's over. She's gone.
Be quiet! It's me!
Shush, shush!
What's all this?
Where's our bike?
There...
Come on, let's go.
Come...
Start the bike. Where's the key?
-Where's Varkey?
-I put it right here somewhere....
Varkey!
Varkey!
-Found it!
-Hurry up!
What's he doing over there?
Come back!
Where's the reverse gear?
What were you doing here?
Come!
-Just get him here!
-Why are you just dangling there?!
Hop on!
Quick, let's go!
Screw this bloody red cloth!
Come soon!
Oh, here comes trouble!
What's up?
Night...
What?
Birthday...
Whose?
His...
No, his...
Is it?
Mm-hmm...
How old are you?
Say it...
20...
Happy Birthday to you.
Thank you.
Go.
Happy Birthday to you.
It's not my birthday today.
Don't you dare show up after 8
or I'll bust your butts!
Discipline!
That's a must!
That forest lady was nicer than him.
Sure, walk right in.
She would have ripped you to pieces!
But what exactly happened in that forest?
Whatever that was,
Shambu bro nailed the VFX
and sound design.
-Listen...
-Yes?
Feels like that forest lady
followed us back.
hasn't left our side.
Oh, no...
Got anything that'll knock me out?
You stop talking!
Your big mouth is what got us
into this mess!
You and your stupid love story!
Curl up, shut up and go to sleep!
Dear Lord, please protect us.
Dear Jesus, please save my soul!
Aravind!
Midhun!
Hey, guys!
Hey, Midhun!
Aravind!
Hey!
Midhun!
Midhun!
Aravind...
What on earth is happening...
Did you feel it?
Mm-hmm...
I felt it...
He felt it too.
Then why didn't you say anything?!
We were waiting to see
if you'd feel it too.
Screw you guys, man...
Looks like last night's treatment worked.
Go and study.
Go on, quick!
At least, I didn't have to waste
a bucket of water.
Was the woman in our nightmare
the one from the forest?
And what if she was?
You could've dreamed of anyone
from Sai Pallavi to Mamitha Baiju.
You also had the same options, no?
Cool, man! Cool!
I get how you're feeling.
Feeling? I'm finished!
You think that was real?
Not just a dream?
It wasn't real, man.
It was just a dream.
A drunken dream, that's all.
Where are we going to find
that red cloth for Shambu bro?
This is the 'Mangalya rekha'
or the marriage line.
You both are lucky enough to marry me.
Shambu, check mine too.
I'll check yours next.
Also, the line for children...
Was it this or that?
Here's your red cloth.
You know what?
I don't like competition.
Deepika is mine.
-Okay...
-Okay?
Mm-hmm...
Come on!
Where did they get this from?
Vandana Silks, Nooranadu.
In our workshop, you're the mechanic
and the rest of you just helpers.
Even if the lecturers bring their vehicles,
we don't touch them.
The mechanic calls the shots!
Aravind.
Do you understand?
It'll be nice, man!
Aravind!
-Hi.
-Hi!
Just a minute.
Don't auction off my workshop already.
Were you busy?
Not that busy.
Can you come with me?
-What happened?
-Uhm...
I wanted to tell you something.
Yes, tell me.
Uhm...
The thing is...
I love you.
Will you do anything for me?
What?
Would you do anything for me?
I'll do anything for my Deepika.
-As if!
-Any doubts?
-Yes.
-Sigh.
A college I never wanted.
A course I couldn't care less about.
I don't even know the ABC's of dance.
I nearly died learning those steps for you.
You don't even know the half of it...
I don't even know why I did it...
The things I've done for you since school.
And I'll still do it.
Then, jump off from here.
Sure, why not!
I don't know bungee jumping.
Shall I learn and then jump?
Fine, go and learn.
I'm going.
Don't go.
If I jump from here,
my hands and legs will break.
You said you'd do anything for me?
Go on, prove it! Jump!
I mean, I want to... But...
Can we start with a smaller task?
But I'd do anything for you.
I would leap from the heavens for you!
Not something a good girl
should be proud of.
If I said I'll jump, I really will.
Deepika, do you know bungee jumping?
Why? Do you want to see?
Hey, you haven't tied a rope to your legs.
This isn't a joke.
Aravind, I love you.
Deepika!
Deepika...
Deepika!
Deepika!
Deepika...
What happened?
Deepik...
What's over there?
-Move...
-There's nothing down there.
There's nothing there.
What's it?
Th... there...
Down there...
Isn't that Deepika over there?
Yeah, that's her.
What's wrong with you, man?
-What's it?
-What happened to you?
What's wrong with him?
What happened to you, dude?
-What's going on?
-What is the problem?
What's it, man?
-I swear I saw it.
-What?
I saw her jump right off.
Haven't you had enough?
Are you mad?
No, man.
I think he has a point.
I know a priest.
Let's go talk to him.
Let's just sprint into the next disaster!
Priest, it seems!
Ara... Hey...
I swear I saw it.
I saw her jump right off.
Calm down.
I know a priest.
Let's go talk to him.
-Maybe he can find a way out of this mess.
-Okay, let us.
Hey...
Don't go that way...
Don't go...
Please don't go...
-That's all I need.
-Don't go that way...
Don't go...
-Let us go right away.
-Hey... Don't...
-Back...
-Behind you...
-Behind you...
-Back...
What...
What's it?
Hey...
Let's go see that priest you mentioned.
These are our problems, Father.
That forest
and the woman there...
And me, the future corpse.
What's all this, Father?
We've only seen this
in movies like Ezra and Pizza.
We want to get out of this.
We want to sleep, Father.
Only you can help us, Father.
In nomine Patris,
et Filii,
et Spiritus Sancti.
Father...
should I seal that with a "Swaha"?
No need, I guess...
Sorry.
Those who walk God's path face no trouble.
Only those on the devil's path
will face trouble.
Not me.
Don't ever take that path again.
Even if Jesus is standing on that path,
we're not taking it, Father!
Me neither.
Oh, Lord Ayyappa!
Alright, Father.
-So much peace now!
-Just a minute...
Father, one more round of holy water?
Oh, Jesus,
I didn't know this had so much power.
Father will take care of everything.
Don't worry.
Bro, one cigarette.
Bro, the head priest of our church, right?
He passed away.
When?! I saw him this morning too.
It happened this afternoon.
Oh, dear!
Oh, Jesus!
Oh, dear God!
Hey! The priest of our church...
-died...
-What?!
The priest of our church died!
-How?
-I don't know how.
He was fine until we met him, no?
You think it happened because we met him?
Still... something feels...
What if this death
has something to do with what we saw?
What all are you saying?
That thing will be the death of us.
Let's not stay here.
-Let's go.
-Go?
-Yes.
-What about my dance?
Your bloody dance!
Come, let's go.
How's your costume?
He's not answering.
Where is he?
Walk fast, man.
Hurry up.
What's happening? Did you get him?
No, Miss. He's not answering.
How will you dance without him?
Try once more.
-Are you guys ready?
-Yes, Miss.
What about the others?
Next programme is yours.
Get ready soon.
Deepika is waiting for me.
A ghost is waiting to take our life.
That's not a problem for you, huh?
If we wait any longer,
we'll end up like Father.
Let's go.
Where? To Father?
To our own fathers.
But... but...
we can't just leave like that.
Just think about it.
What if those two aren't related?
What if they are?
Can't take any risk.
You also know
what all is happening around us.
Look at all these amenities who knew?
Don't care who's coming along,
I won't stay here tonight.
His bloody philosophy!
Pack your bags and come.
We need to leave before it gets dark.
-Where to?
-We...
We're going home.
At this hour?
His aunty passed away.
His...
The last bus is leaving now.
But I'm your aunt's brother-in-law, right?
Aunty is fine.
Is she?
Fresher's Day isn't over.
and you're printing send-off cards already?
Sir...
Go and study!
[in unison] Sir!
Go, man!
This guy will kill us!
Death eater!
Look at him go!
What a bloody warden is he?
We can't stay here under him.
You could've said his father died.
Oh... I'm sorry...
If we said his dad died,
that moron would've just let him leave.
I've got an idea
to get rid of that bloody loser.
I don't know if it's going to work.
Before that, let me say something.
It was when we told Father about the ghost,
he passed away.
What if we tell the warden
and let the ghost handle the rest?
That was my idea, right?
Have you both lost it?
What if he dies hearing it?
If he dies, we can go home.
-Right.
-Exactly.
-If he dies, we go home.
-Yeah!
Warden sir ji.
Call him again.
Sir ji...
Oh, he turned around.
Were you asleep, sir?
Do you guys usually stand and sleep?
Stop fooling around and speak up.
Sir...
Nice.
It's a good story.
But what about the climax?
We came here for the climax.
Isn't that right?
Yes, that's right.
Will you guys be around
for the second part?
-Will we?
-Oh, no...
For now, you guys go and study.
Just focus on that.
But sir...
Go! Go and study!
-[in unison] Sir!
-GO AND STUDY!
-Come.
-He's going to kill us!
Making up stories!
He might gobble us up whole!
I told you it was useless.
He can't do anything.
Lost it! Damn it!
Come on, let go and check.
Come!
What's it, man?
Open up...
-Wa... Warden...
-Open up, please...
Brother...
Open the door!
Brother!
Open the door!
Brother, please open...
Warden...
-Warden...
-The warden... over there...
The warden is dead...
The warden is dead.
Hey, hey!
What's this?
People are trying to sleep!
What's the problem?
-Warden...
-Eh?
-Warden...
-The warden is dead...
The warden died? Who me?
-Not you...
-Then?
The warden...
But I'm the warden here.
Weren't you just the watchman?
Watchman?!
Have you boys completely lost your minds?
What are you all looking at?
Go back to bed!
Everybody, go to sleep!
So, who was over there...?
Eh?
-Over... there...
-Where?
There...
You guys are mad. Go back to sleep!
I am talking to you! Clear out!
Go to sleep!
Won't sleep, just blabbering nonsense!
Go and sleep.
Over there...
Am I not the warden here?!
Must have had a nightmare
and is out to scare others.
So, who's lying dead over there?
If he's the warden...
who was that...?
I'm scared, man.
-So, were there two wardens?
-My head is spinning.
Ara...
Varkey...
Go and look...
Hey...
Where did he go?
Come.
Where did the body go?
Born on...
1981...
Died on...
2020!
Come...
Why does this corridor never end?
Run!
Run!
Get in!
Close the door.
What do we do now?
-I don't know...
-Hey!
Whatever happens, stay with me!
-Okay?
-Yes...
Scared, were you?
Isn't that me?
93...
23...
13... 23...
76...
76...
98...
91...
Damn it!
Brother...
Aren't you the watchman here?
I'm not just the watchman...
I'm also the warden,
plumber, gardener, hunter
and everything else! Why'd you ask?
Who's he? Johnny Sins?
What's that?
Shut up... This guy has hair.
But then...
Who's this?
He...
was our former warden.
If you want to know about him,
you've got to know the hostel first.
He was the king of Maharaja Hostel.
Back in the day,
parents would place full trust
and get their kids
admitted to Maharaja Hostel.
And back then,
no other hostel even came close to
Maharaja Hostel.
He was a strict disciplinarian.
But he had a good heart.
A good man.
As COVID cases continue to rise
across the country,
a complete lockdown has been
announced effective from midnight tonight.
All establishments and public transport
services, except essential services,
will be temporarily suspended.
The government has urged
the public to remain indoors
and strictly comply
with the lockdown guidelines.
Silence!
When all the students left the hostel,
he became extremely lonely.
Loneliness took a toll on him.
When he couldn't bear it any more,
he killed himself.
I can't tell who's a ghost,
who's human anymore...
I can't sit, stand
or even take a peaceful leak.
I have an awesome idea.
Well, spit it out already!
What's the warden ghost forcing us to do?
-For what exactly?
-Hmm...
-What was it for?
-What's it?
Go and study!
Study!
Go and study!
Go and study!
Son, this isn't a fight between
good and evil.
Sorry...
We need to change it to a fight between
evil and evil.
You got my point?
Do you understand?
A big evil...
and a small evil.
Stop playing Lalettan and just say it.
What I mean is,
we need to bring out the
ghost that wants us to study
and face it off with the ghost
that's trying to scare us.
The way I see it,
this warden ghost seems kinda humane.
So, it's safer for us to be on his side.
Or the other ghost will
squish us!
How can you be so certain?
Or that guy would've
squished us to death long back.
That's true.
Anyway, the warden is
just trying to teach us.
So if we actually study,
he'll naturally defend us.
And who do we deploy onto the battlefield?
Our very own branded ghost.
Isn't it a phenomenal idea?
Isn't it?
But for that
we need to do something
we have never done before.
-What?
-What?
We need to become good students.
Sigh!
-Listen...
-Hm?
Let us become better.
There's no other way.
Okay...
-Shall we?
-Okay.
[in unison] Yes, we'll become better.
This place that makes you think a lot.
Let us...
start...
thinking differently from now on.
A heart that's set to crash and burn
A heart still bruised by fear
Backbench dreamers left behind
But now, everything's about to change
A stray snake from the thorn fence
A stray snake from the thorn fence
Now coils around our shoulders
These hopeless hard-luck days
won't let us breathe
One bite of burnt-up scraps
And our bones start showing through
Time plays wicked games
in this haunted season
A heart that's set to crash and burn
A heart still bruised by fear
Backbench dreamers left behind
But now, everything's about to change
When endless troubles
trail close behind
The heart and mind come undone
What's with the bucket?
If you put your legs in water,
you won't fall asleep.
Big brains you got!
Strange roads begin to feel like home
Is this the moment
when tears that lingered for ages
Finally fade from our eyes?
Do these flames burning in our hearts
Still blaze through days
And through nights?
Sir, is there someone
you keep searching for up there?
It's personal.
Personal...
Does anyone else know that you're here?
Not everyone comes here
to study engineering.
True that.
Why do dogs howl when they see you?
Pure jealousy.
What do you do when you're hungry?
Your blood...
Ah... blood...
Blood?!
Sorry...
-Aravind.
-Yes, Teacher.
25 out of 30.
Good.
-Midhun.
-Yes...
28 out of 30.
Very good.
Thank you, Teacher.
Varkey.
20 out of 30.
For real?
Oh, my Jesus!
See, all they did was sleep in class.
That's why I keep saying,
the best versions of yourselves
are sleeping within you.
How did you manage this by the way?
Tell me.
How did we manage...
Talent... hard work...
When those two combined, this happened.
-Isn't that right?
-Yes, Teacher.
But still, tell me your secret.
Survival.
What?
Survival, Teacher.
Survival.
Oh... survival!
-Thank you.
-Thank you so much.
-I'll say it first.
-No, me.
-I'll say.
-I got the highest marks.
You can say it after I say.
Where did the warden go?
What happened?
-Oh, dear!
-What's it?
Internals mark.
We got our internals mark.
Let me see.
I got 25 out of 30.
He only got 20 out of 30.
-And him--
-I'll say it.
I got 28.
Teacher said we can score more
if we try harder.
You must try. You can definitely
do anything if you try hard enough.
But as soon as we open our books to study,
that thing disturbs us.
-What?
-It's not letting us study.
Who? MGR?
-Not MGR.
-Then?
Remember the story we told you about?
-Oh, that.
-Yes.
You don't worry about that.
-We'll sort it out.
-Okay.
We got the ghost on our side.
Now let's see if he delivers.
Will he deliver?
He will.
Or we'll make him deliver!
-Open!
-Open the door!
It's not opening!
Open up, open the door!
It's not opening...
Hey...
Be quiet!
The warden will save us.
Is it gone?
Check if it's gone?
We got screwed because of that Shambu.
Now we can't sleep
or study.
We can't even think straight.
If we scored so much without all this,
imagine what we could do otherwise, sir.
But you've the lowest mark amongst them.
Don't look at the marks.
When you save us,
please save all three of us together.
What did you guys think?
I'm not some Superman in underwear,
or Batman bitten by a bat,
here to save you all.
We know that.
I'm not the type of ghost you think I am.
Then?
I'm a runaway convict from the afterlife.
A special squad's been sent
just to hunt me down.
What are you even running from?
Because I hate salvation!
I hate paradise!
I hate everything!
Including us?
Whatever said and done, you are a ghost.
You must be able to do something, no?
It's risky.
But I'll try.
Finally got into the mood to study,
and a ghost had to mess it up.
That ghost is our problem right now.
Are you acquainted with that ghost
in any ghostly way?
I don't get easily acquainted with
other ghosts.
Are you an introvert ghost?
Well, you could say so.
Don't say that and give up on us, sir.
I wasn't giving up.
You think I'd pull a gimmick like
playing dead?
Then can you do some gimmick
and find the details of that ghost?
Listen, I genuinely don't know.
Do you know every human in the world?
-Nah...
-Exactly, neither do we ghosts!
I don't know all the ghosts!
If the ghost came to the field
after the 1900s,
there's a chance I might know it.
But from what you described...
it sounds like one from way before.
Then we must be careful.
Seems like it's older than 125 years.
So, what about you, sir?
I died during Corona times.
I'm only around 4.5 years old.
What can this kindergarten ghost
possibly do?
Will whatever we studied go to waste?
If a ghost lives longer than
it did as a human,
it becomes dangerous.
You've to be careful.
It's hard to control it.
So first,
we need to find out
if this ghost has outlived its human age.
What do we need to do for that?
And to know that,
first we must know about the ghost.
How do we know that?
There's a way to know that.
How?
Then you'd be able to save us, no?
Anything under the sun,
I've got it covered.
-Right.
-Right.
-Left.
-Left.
-This is blocking.
-Okay.
Defence mode block.
Repeat.
-Right.
-Right.
-Left.
-Left.
This is blocking. Defence mode.
One.
Defence.
Defence.
-Where's Shambu?
-Why?
Defence goal!
He's in the canteen....
You wait and watch!
-Did you see Shambu?
-Nope.
How about the three of us go to
some seaside and watch the sunset?
[in unison] Shambu!
I'm in a romantic mood, man.
Stop interrupting from behind.
Why are you coming at me?
-Run!
-Ouch, my head!
Take your juice and run!
Shambu gang!
Shambu gang!
Say it!
Shambu gang!
SPD emergency!
Say it!
What should I say?
First ask me something, no?
We're going mad here
and you still don't get it.
If you're going mad,
why are you taking it out on me?
You guys belong in a mental hospital.
Oh, my mother!
I only like straightforward questions.
Fine, answer up straight!
Why did you send us to that forest?
Which forest?
Why did you want that red silk cloth?
To cover your father when he dies?
No, to go watch the bullfight
in Spain with my dad.
Oh, my father!
Can I tell the truth now?
To stop the train.
We had to mess with you behind your back
only because we were scared of you.
But now we're not scared anymore!
We're even ready to die!
Are you really?
Say it!
Speak up, you pig!
I'll tell...
How many times did I tell you
not to go behind that girl!
His bloody romance!
And you just won't listen!
You're so shameless!
You'll never do better!
I'd never have named you,
even if I dropped dead.
But if I hadn't said it,
these three rabid bulls
would've killed me.
In that moment, I thought
why die for nothing?
And Deepika, you know my vibe.
I won't tell anyone again.
Pinky promise.
Deepika, is there any truth
in what he's saying?
Why are you quiet?
Every word of it is true.
Hey!
Enough.
Come on, say it.
There's still some truth he's unaware of.
What truth?
Do you know the vlogger
Ghost Hunter Praveen?
Who's that?
-Pradeep?
-Vlogger?
YouTuber?
-Who's that?
-I know him.
I watch his videos.
He's my brother.
He used to regularly do haunted stories.
But one day,
he chased a story someone cooked up.
When he came back,
he was very disturbed.
We never saw his old curiosity
and smartness.
He was always locked up in his room.
And soon after that, he went missing.
We filed a police complaint.
The investigation was just for namesake.
While others chased
random theories about him,
I wanted to know what really happened.
After all, he was my brother.
That's when I first heard
about that forest-dweller.
The Chelanthur tribe, who lived in the
dense forests of our land centuries ago.
Mother!
What happened, dear?
That sound...
That sound is the anklet of the Goddess
watching over and protecting us.
Pray to Goddess and go back to sleep.
Protect us, O Goddess!
In any danger or trouble,
the Goddess was worshipped
by the people of that village
as a protector.
The baby's incessant crying awakened
the mother inside the Goddess for a moment.
She took the form of the deceased Nandini
and held the baby in her arms.
God once asked the Goddess,
living as a mother, a question,
"Is true happiness in being
a mother to the child
or in being a protector of the land?"
As an answer to that,
the Goddess smiled at the child.
When her world narrowed to the child,
the village was left without its protector.
Soon, famine and epidemics
struck the village.
People began dying one by one.
Villagers who came to the temple for a cure
saw the Goddess in the form of
the deceased Nandini
and mistook her for a demonic force
causing the village's destruction.
The chief sorcerer and the villagers
hurled fireballs
and set the whole place ablaze.
Seeing the child she considered
her own die before her eyes...
The Goddess took on a menacing form.
She called forth
all the evil forces around her.
The Goddess who was meant to
protect her people,
but burned them to ashes,
was cursed to wander the forest
for the rest of her days.
That Goddess is still in that forest,
burning with endless rage and revenge.
On every lunar eclipse since,
the Goddess kills anyone
who sets foot there,
thinking they're trying to harm her child.
So mysterious...
It's best I escape from here...
Hello? What happened, sir?
Suspension?!
It's okay.
You can join Shambu's gang, okay?
I can't come to the office.
Send an email.
It's all a myth.
But because my brother also went missing
on a lunar eclipse night...
I can't help but feel
there's some truth to the myth.
That's why
I asked Shambu to go there.
I simply told him
there was a red shawl there.
I knew it when I saw that
non-existent shawl in his hand,
he wouldn't have gone anywhere near it.
It wasn't Shambu who went.
But me and my gang.
His bloody true love.
Did something happen to you
after you went into that forest?
Like what happened to my brother?
What do you think, Deepika?
We're standing right here alive.
It was just a general knowledge question.
Alright, then.
Oh, my Chottanikara Goddess!
-An actual Goddess?
-Yes.
YOU!
I am literally going to strangle you!
Out of all the casual ghosts
haunting this town...
Why on earth did it have to this one?!
But didn't you say you've got
everything under the sun covered?
Well, the sun went down, genius.
It's the dead of night.
Don't abandon us, dear brother-in-law.
Brother-in-law in another life!
Sorry, sir,
it was just a slip of the tongue..
Please find a way to save us, sir.
We'll deal with it
on the next lunar eclipse.
Today is a lunar eclipse.
-Today?!
-Yes.
Well, I'm not prepared.
Sir, won't your power double
during a lunar eclipse?
My power will double.
But in the Centre it becomes triple!
Triple!
What do we do now?
What can you do...
Before that, a simple question.
Yes?
How does this Deepika look?
-Come on say.
-She...
Nice long beautiful eyes...
Straight hair that flies in the wind...
-Really long nose--
-Enough, enough.
-Does she have crooked teeth?
-Yes, she does.
Why are you asking that suddenly?
Just making sure another ghost
hadn't sneaked in.
-Oh, no! Another ghost?
-A new one?
Not a ghost. The girl you described.
She's right there.
Aravind!
Where is he!
Aravind!
Can't find him anywhere.
Where the hell is he!
-Aravind!
-Deepika...
-What are you doing here?
-How did you come?
-When did you come?
-Why did you come?
You're hiding something from me.
Uh... That...
If you want to kill her,
go ahead and say it.
Listen up...
Over here.
Things aren't as complicated as you think.
I spoke with that priest's spirit.
Who's there?
His was a normal death.
This is not a game where people die
just because you tell them the story.
So calm down and act normal.
So calm down and act normal.
Tell her everything,
just leave me out of it.
Who are you looking at?
She can't see him?
-I don't think so.
-Didn't I tell you?
I'll decide who can see me.
Am I some exhibit in a museum
for everyone to gawk at?
Such an introverted ghost!
Huh?
There's no one here.
What we can't say face to face,
we say while looking here and there.
-Isn't that right?
-Yes, yes.
That's not it.
You're definitely hiding something from me.
Aravind, you tell me.
What's happening around you?
Deepika...
just like what happened to your brother,
we also kinda got into trouble...
What?
There's only one way to escape from this.
There's a Shiva temple.
What's the guarantee all the problems
will end if we go there?
Don't underestimate a ghost.
If it's a ghost
that doesn't want salvation,
it won't come there.
Go there.
How about we go there?
Where are you going?
Tonight is a lunar eclipse, right?
So, we thought we'll go to a Shiva temple
and simply sit there.
Right?
Then I'm also coming.
No need.
No, I'm also coming.
I started these problems.
So, if this ends or you're ending it,
I'll also be with you.
Hey!
Get going!
Come on.
Come with us.
Walk.
Hey!
How are you going?
Let's go in an auto.
-Isn't that right?
-Yes, yes.
-At this hour?
-Yes.
Take the canteen van.
It's parked out back.
Alright, then.
-Walk.
-Walk fast!
-Come fast!
-Run quickly!
Is this the vehicle?
Looks bloody fresh!
How are we gonna take this out?
I'll chariot it.
-Ready?
-Yes.
Just a moment.
Oh, no...
It's going to take time.
This van is older than the warden.
Cut the live commentary
and crank the damn engine!
What's it?
Our saviour is here.
Just go fast!
It's not my fault.
This scrap heap is already at top speed.
What can I do?
You won't have to wait
for that ghost to kill you.
He'll kill you single-handedly.
Stop giving counters and tell us the way.
What am I, Dora the Explorer?
That would've been better.
-Say what?
-Nothing!
Turn left.
We need to go right, no?
You listen to what I'm saying.
Turn left.
Whatever you say, Boots!
Hey! Stop, stop!
Please stop the vehicle, sir!
Please help...
-Please help.
-What happened?
My auto broke down.
There's a pregnant woman in my auto.
Please save her... Please...
Oh, it's our teacher!
Please help.
This town is a disaster zone.
Am I running a rescue service now?
-Can you please help?
-Get lost!
Just because you studied and scored marks,
I can't go around saving everyone.
Don't cry, Miss. Hold my hand.
-Careful, Miss.
-Slowly...
Please help her, Warden.
-Please.
-Anyway, we're going to die,
let's do one good thing before that.
That's what you think when you're alive.
Most of what you do here
doesn't really matter there.
Please...
Please, Warden.
Please help.
Fine, bring her.
Come on, get in!
Slowly...
Hold her...
Careful...
Please sit down, Miss.
Teacher, where should we go?
To the hospital!
Want me to drive like an ambulance too?
Just go!
Where are the four of you going?
We're going to pray at the Shiva temple.
-Aravind.
-Present, teacher.
Go straight and turn right.
There's a hospital.
Just step on it, man!
-Which place is this?
-I don't know.
-Are we in Ooty?
-Ooty?!
Where's the hospital, huh?
Careful, man!
Are you okay, Miss?
Which place is this?
From which driving school
did you learn to drive?
But I don't have a license for that.
What?!
I'm such a fool to have come with you guys!
I'll go by myself.
Ghosts are more scared than humans.
Say what?
Nothing! Let's go.
Start the van.
We're back here again!
Again!
What is this, the Well of Death?
I think...
we're stuck in time travel.
Best.
You wanna time travel
when I don't even have time to push?!
Just go!
Where do you think you're going?
This is one of her tricks.
Stop talking and just go.
Deepika...
-Yes?
-Don't worry.
You! Turn left!
Come on.
No time to die.
Go fast, Aravind!
Finished! We're finished!
How'd you end up here, exactly?!
First temple, then hospital.
Is the mortuary next?
You'll die, I'll die, we'll all die!
But it won't be today.
I'll end up cursing his father!
I should've just called an Uber.
Whatever happens,
don't come out.
Because that has come for us.
Come on.
You guys get out first.
I'm already dead.
Don't worry, Miss. It's nothing.
-Where'd he go?
-Think he escaped.
-He's gone?!
-What do we do?
Let's move this ghost from here.
What's your plan, Ara?
All this time, I made the plans,
now you guys make one.
Plan...?
Tell me the plan and go!
Such a pain! Damn it!
I should've stayed back.
What's your plan?
You wait here.
We'll be back with a plan.
Come on.
Warden!
Warden! Come out!
Warden!
-Where are you?
-Come here, Warden!
You idiots!
Stop running as a group, idiots! Split up!
Hello.
Run, man!
Ta ta!
Oh, dear Goddess!
Hi.
Oh, it was you.
Where's he?
Listen... run!
Oh, my!
Something is pulling us inside.
I can't move.
It's pulling me in too.
Looks like we're done for.
Then, let's just join their universe.
Warden!
Please come, Warden!
Warden, where are you?
Please save us.
Stop hiding and save us.
Warden, beat her up.
Warden...
Oh, Goddess! Looks like I'm screwed.
Did I lose all my power?
You're not the one who's screwed.
It's us who trusted you.
They are all one team.
The moment he said "turn left,"
I knew we were doomed.
I wouldn't have cared
if I was stuck in that loop forever.
Now we're gonna end up dying here.
Do something, Warden.
Warden...
Look, it's going towards Deepika and Miss.
Deepika, dear... Run!
-I'll come after you.
-Come on, Miss.
-What about them?
-Just come.
Come!
Teacher!
Miss!
Deepika...
Stop sitting there and feeling guilty
and do something, Warden!
Warden...
Guys...
-Varkey...
-I'm going...
No, nothing will happen.
-Nothing will happen!
-Varkey...
Varkey...
-Midhun...
-Varkey...
Deepika...
Deepika...
Varkey... Varkey has drowned!
Varkey... Varkey...
Warden! Do something!

Cutie...
Teacher...
Are you happy?
First you guys become okay!
And then I need to dismiss all of you!
Come to class
only after you bring your parents.
Trouble again?
Guess the problems have only begun.
But still...
What just happened here?
Who knows!
I already knew this.
But I didn't think...
any woman would agree to deliver here.
After all, this isn't a five-star hospital.
Present, sir.
Thus, three social disasters of no use
to their families or their land
together brought salvation from a curse
to a Goddess and a temple.
As a result, they became
role models for society.
After a long time,
crowds of people poured into
Chelanthur Devi Temple
seeking blessings.
Couples visiting there
to seek the blessing of children
pray by tying a cradle
in the shade of the banyan tree.
With the firm belief that she will
never abandon those who seek refuge in her,
that Goddess and the temple
continue to reside
in the hearts of the people even today.
Why did you set out to follow
Bearing this unquenchable fury?
Who will chant your praises?
With your holy machete
Who will you touch gently?
Who are you
to weave these fates of truth?
Who are you to preach it?
Through the crashing waters
or the blazing fire
Who are you to conquer it all?
