I am going to disappear after tonight.
I have burnt all the proofs of my identity.
I hope no one will be able to trace me.
But before I leave,
I want to reveal something.
A kind of reality you probably
haven't seen or heard before.
A sin, that makes me hate myself.
Something so disgusting,
that once I started...
...I kept committing it for 3 long years.

[KNOCKING ON THE DOOR]
[SIGHS]
Your wife Sindoora Singh's
statement claims that...
...you've physically assaulted her.
Sir, Look at this.
Just assume this is a glass...
A wine glass.
I am sure you have seen it before.
You've been charged under section 307...
...Half murder.
There is a fly stuck inside
this wine glass... Poor fly...
...Wondering how to get out.
You are the one stuck here Raghuram Singh.
You will be going behind
bars for a long time.
Now, the challenge for you is...
...to move only two sides of the glass...
...and get this fly out
without touching it.
And remember,
it should again form the shape of a glass.
The medical report confirms that
your wife suffered severe head injury.
She could have died.
She should have died!!
It would've been such a relief.
She deserves to be punished for her deeds.
Anyways,
you will be glad to know that your wife...
...has been discharged from the hospital.
So, can I go home?
I am just your lawyer, not a judge.
Mr. Verma, please do something.
Get me out of here.
Please.
I can't do much right now.
Let me try after Diwali.
Try!!! It seems as if you have
surrendered without a fight.
Why don't you believe me,
that woman is trying to frame me.
She is falsely accusing
me of attempting on her life.
She has forgotten that I
loved her more than myself.
Love!!
People in love don't get angry.
Ohh! Please, don't lecture me on love.
It is natural to get angry
with people we love.
So you did get angry?
Yes I was angry. Who wouldn't be?
There is nothing called
love in my wife's dictionary.
Love means something else to her.
What do you mean?
[GASPS]
My wife was cheating on me.
I had become an obstacle.
So she decided to get me out of her way.
On the day of the incident...
...There was someone
hiding in the storage room.
He attacked me with a knife.
Look at this!
Who was hiding?
Why don't you ask my wife?
Don't shout.
As your lawyer, I am asking you.
Who was he?
It was dark. I couldn't see his face.
But I am sure that she
was trying to hide him.
She would often invite
other men in my absence.
Raghuram Singh!!
This could be held against you.
You had a clear motive
to get angry and violent.
The prosecutor will
prove you guilty in no time.
Will you be hatching eggs in the courtroom?
I have explained everything in
my diary about my wife's character.
You should read it.
Moreover, I have told everything
to Inspector Shrivastava.
I don't want to say anything further.
You should leave now. And let me
focus on getting the fly out of the glass.

Is Sindoora Raghuram Singh home?
Hello, is Sindoora Singh home?
Look at this. Is Madam home?
[DOOR CREAKING]

[FOOTSTEPS]
[DOORBELL]
Mrs. Sindoora Raghuram Singh!
I am Manas Verma.
Your husband Raghuram Singh's lawyer.
What do you want?
I want to ask you few
questions regarding the case.
I don't want to talk anything about it.
Madam, I need only 5 minutes of your time.
I don't want to talk to
my husband's lawyer.
I have told everything
to Inspector Shrivastava.
Please, Madam I just need 5 minutes...
I won't take much time...
SINDOORA: Didn't you hear me?
I don't want to talk to my husband's lawyer.
Just leave.
'MANAS VERMA'
'Stay away from Sindoora Singh.
This is not an advise but a warning'
'POLICE STATION'
'SARASWATI NAGAR (RAIPUR)'
INSPECTOR: It looks like
a Sindoora's well-wisher...
...who doesn't want you to meet her.
Anyways, you don't have to worry,
I will lodge a complaint.
Okay!
Any update on that cable guy about whom...
...Sindoora had mentioned in her statement?
No. We could only manage to get his photo.
He seems to be absconding.
Interestingly,
Raghuram Singh never mentioned...
...about any cable guy in his statement.
[PHONE RINGING]
According to him, the one who attacked
him with a knife was someone else.
That's why it's important to catch him.
Have you read Raghuram Singh's diary?
No!
If you read it, you'll be quite clear.
By the way, I have noticed something.
The wound on Sindoora's forehead...
...doesn't seem as serious
as she's claiming it to be.
Honestly, I suspect Sindoora Singh.
During interrogation at the hospital,
she would give me strange looks.
I didn't get you.
I felt she was trying to influence me.
Didn't you notice that?
Anyways, this letter indicates that
this case is not as simple as it seems.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]
You are following me despite being warned.
I just want to talk to you.
But I don't want to talk to you.
Whom are you meeting here?
That's none of your business.
You are not my lawyer.
Just leave.
Your head injury!!
You were wearing a bandage yesterday.
I... I forgot.
What did you forget?
Mr. Manas Verma, don't try
to make something out of nothing.
Because, there is someone who is writing
this script and you are just a puppet.
Who is it?
Why don't you tell me clearly?
You'll understand everything
if you stop seeing things as a lawyer.
My husband has all the answers.
Ask him and stop following me.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello.
RAGHURAM: Stay away from that woman.
She's very manipulative.
She's ignoring you so that
you get attracted towards her.
That's her pattern.
- Hello!
- [CHUCKLES]
Hello!
- [CHUCKLES]
- Hello!
Are your trying to scare me off?
Are you the one sending me
threatening letters?
Don't you dare forget
that I am your lawyer.
And only I can get you out of this place.
Wow!! Now even you have started
to weave stories like my wife.
Stop fooling around.
I heard your voice on the phone.
Are you mad?
Who made you a lawyer?
How can I call you?
How can I get a phone here?
This is all Sindoora's plan.
Just shut up!
You are stopping me from knowing the truth.
Mr. Verma, I think you have
bribed your way to become a lawyer.
Understand her game.
If I am out on bail,
she would lose her freedom.
That's why she's using you against me.
She is killing two birds with one stone.
What do you mean?
My wife has a weird fetish.
Fetish!
What fetish?
Ahhhhh!!!!
Now that got you excited!
Raghuram Singh,
don't waste my time and speak up.
If you have read my diary...
...then you must have figured
out that my wife is abnormal.
And, her obsession is of a different scale.
What obsession?
The obsession to control men...
She gets a high in seducing men.
She gets a kick out of that.
But you are stubborn, and she
knows that you are not an easy catch.
That's why she's trying to
act innocent in front of you.
Pretending to be weak so that
you get emotionally attached to her.
And then, use you against me.
Bullshit. Bullshit.
This isn't bullshit. It's the truth.
What you are seeing, isn't the truth.
Truth is disgusting.
Extremely disgusting.
Is it?
And, what's the truth?
If you want the truth...
...then see things from my
perspective and not from a lawyers.
My wife is the one who
is writing this story...
...and we both are just puppets.
You should go to that house once,
and see what happens there.
My wife is a maniac...
...a nymphomaniac.
And you are her next target.

You shouldn't have gone upstairs.
This is Madness...
...Utter madness.
You shouldn't have seen all that.
It would be better for you if
you keep your mouth shut...
...and forget what you've seen upstairs.
I won't let this happen.
What will you do?
I will go to the police.
Alright! Go ahead!
Do it.
But, you will never be able to prove
what happens behind closed doors.
[DOORBELL]
[DOORBELL]
Mrs. Sindoora.
Mrs. Sindoora, I know you can hear me.
Please open the door.
Mrs. Sindoora, please open the door.
Please.
'Your head injury!!'
'You were wearing a bandage yesterday.'
Make it quick.
Your head injury!!
The last time I met you, it wasn't there.
Have you lost it!
Memory loss at this age is
not good for your profession.
No. I clearly remember,
there was no wound the last time I met you.
If you think I am lying, then what is this?
Tell me.
You think a lot.
Can you tell me what
exactly happened that day?
Mrs. Sindoora, Can you please tell
me what exactly happened that day.
I have told everything to the Police.
Please don't keep questioning
me again and again.
According to your husband, there
was someone hiding in the storage room.
My husband is telling you false stories.
You can believe him if you want to.
Honestly, despite being my client,
I don't trust Raghuram Singh.
But, I also don't have
any reason to trust you.
Mr. Verma, I had mentioned earlier...
...that you will never understand
if you see it as a lawyer.
What do you mean?
Why don't you meet me at leisure...
...I can explain you better.
Why haven't you appointed
a lawyer for yourself?
I didn't think it was necessary.
I believe the truth will be out on its own.
But, let me clear one thing.
If my husband is out on bail,
he will kill me.
And you shall be responsible.
Don't bother that old man
in our household matters.
RAGHURAM V/o:
'Our marriage was a simple affair.'
'I was considering myself
fortunate to get a wife like Sindoora.'
'On our first night, I tried my
best to make her feel comfortable.'
'But Sindoora, just kept quiet.'
'It's been a month since our marriage.'
'Today, for the first time
she broke her silence...'
'...and told me that she had relationships
with many men before marriage.'
'I was stunned.'
'Last night, I pretended to be asleep.'
'I found out that Sindoora was
talking to someone on the phone.'
'She was tongue-tied when I enquired.'
'Today, I found some cigarette buds
and could smell fragrance of a perfume.'
'Sindoora's suspicious behavior proved...'
'...that someone had
come home in my absence.'
'Now, I am sure that Sindoora
is cheating on me.'
'Her silence is frightening.'
'I can't spend another moment with her.'
'Sometimes, I feel either
I should end my life or kill her.'

I don't understand whose side you are on?
The Legislator has
sent you to fight for me...
...instead you are screwing with me.
Is she sleeping with you?
You are sick.
This is her forte.
Just a couple of meetings,
and you have started to defend her.
What did she do to turn you against me?
Stop this nonsense and tell
me what happened that day.
If you don't speak up today...
...I will withdraw from this case...
You can go to hell.
If you want the truth, then listen...
It was a bad day for me.
RAGHURAM:
'Due to a sudden truck operator's strike...'
'...we couldn't receive
cement from the supplier.'
'Then a laborer got injured...'
'...and the work at the
site came to a standstill.'
[SIREN WAILING]
RAGHURAM: 'Incidentally,
it was Sindoora's birthday on that day.'
'Despite our bitter relationship.'
'I decided to buy a bouquet for her.'
'But little did I know that it was just
the beginning of that unfortunate day.'
'When I reached home I saw
some petals lying at my doorsteps.'
'I was surprised.'
'I rang the doorbell.'
[DOORBELL]
'But there was no answer.'
'I rang the doorbell
again but still no answer.'
'Despite trying several times
when there was no response...'
'...I sensed there was something wrong.'
'Then I used my keys, and...'
'Sindoora.'
'What happened?'
'I have been ringing the doorbell.
Why didn't you open the door?'
'You have your keys, right?'
'What's all this?
Why do you keep watching such dirty films?'
'It's not necessary what you
find dirty even others should.'
'And who got you this bouquet?'
'Why do you care?'
[DOOR CLOSE]
'Who's upstairs?'
'Who is hiding there?'
'I am asking you, who's upstairs?'
'Stop!!'
'Ohh!'
'So you have called someone in my absence.'
'Stop blabbering the same
thing again and again.'
'Anyways, you were supposed
to come in the evening.'
'If you don't like me,
why don't you leave me?'
'Leave me and do whatever you want to do.'
'What's the problem?'
[DOOR CLOSE]
'Let me see whom do you meet in my absence!'
'You won't like it.'
'Move.'
'Who's there?'

'Who's there?'
[SQUEAK]
'Who's there?'
'Who's there?'
[SCREAMING]
'No! No! Leave me!'
'Help me!! Help me!! Help me!!'
'My wife wants to kill me.'
'You have planned to kill me.'
'Help me!!'
'Help me!! Any one there!'
'Any one there!'
[SIGHS]
I barely pushed Sindoora.
She banged her head against the wall...
...and charged me with attempt to murder.
She is taking advantage of being a woman.
There's a lot hidden inside her.
I could never understand her.
Looks like you are her next target.
She is going to do
something terrible to you.
Stay away from her.
Stay away.
[VEHICLE PASSING BY]
[DOORBELL]
[FOOTSTEPS]
RAGHURAM:What you are seeing, isn't the truth.
Truth is disgusting.
So according to you she is lying?
100% she's lying. She's a habitual liar.
VERMA: Is it possible that Sindoora Singh is
taking undue advantage of being a woman.
Honestly, I suspect Sindoora Singh.
Your head injury!!
You were wearing a bandage yesterday.
RAGHURAM: My wife has a strange obsession.
The obsession to control men...
She likes to seduce men.
She gets a kick out of that.
Why don't you meet me at leisure!
I can explain you better.
RAGHURAM:If you have read my diary...
...then you must have figured
out that my wife is abnormal.
She will do something terrible to you.
This threatening letter indicates...
...that this case is not
as simple as it seems.
You'll understand everything if
you stop seeing things as a lawyer.
Because, there's someone,
who's making you dance to his tunes.
Hello! Hello!
RAGHURAM:My wife is...
...a maniac.
A nymphomaniac.
And you are her next target.

[EAGLES SCREECH]
So, finally he has managed
to put the entire blame on me.
He has proved me guilty
and bailed himself out.
He knows very well how to play mind games.
My life is also being
controlled by my husband.
I didn't get you.
You will never understand, Mr. Verma.
You are just seeing what
my husband wants you to see.
And you are doing exactly what
my husband wants you to do.
I just want to know the truth.
I was not feeling too well that day.
I had a severe headache.
When I couldn't sleep
despite trying for long...
I decided to watch a movie.
'I picked up a DVD and
inserted it into the DVD player.'
'Just then the doorbell rang.'
[DOORBELL]
'Happy Birthday Madam.'
'How do you know?'
'Madam, we maintain a database
of all our customers.'
'This bouquet is on behalf of our company.'
'Really!! Thank you.'
'Madam, your payment for
cable connection is pending.'
'Okay.'
[EXHALE]
[BACKGROUND DIALOGUES ON TV]
'Take this.'
'Thank you Madam.'
'Madam! Are you alright?'
'Yes! Feeling a bit dizzy since morning.'
'Can I get you some medicines?'
'No no, that's alright.
Give me the receipt.'
'Take this.'
'Thank you Madam.'
'Madam!! You really seem unwell.'
'Let me help you to your room.'
- '- No. I can manage.
- Let me help you.'
'Come.'
'Carefully. Come.'
'I am fine.'
'No no Madam, Let me help you to your room.'
'I am fine. You just leave.'
- '- Madam, let me help you to your room.
- I am fine. You please leave.'
'Wow! You seem to have
an unusual taste in movies.'
'Mind your language. And get out of here.'
'I can't step back.'
'It's too late now.'
'Listen. If my husband
comes to know he will kill you.'
'Really?'
'Then, he will also come to know what
kind of movies you watch in his absence.'
'I will scream if you
don't leave right now.'
'Please scream.'
'But if you keep quiet no one will know.'
'What are you doing?'
CABLE GUY: 'Madam. Madam.'
[HEAVY BREATHING]
'It's good.'
'I like the darkness.'
'Now you won't feel shy in front of me.'
'Should we play hide and seek?'
"Let's play hide and seek...

'Caught you!!!'

'Upstairs...'
'Upstairs!!'
'Who's upstairs?'
'With whom were you
watching this dirty film?'
'No. You are misunderstanding.'
'Am I misunderstanding?'
'I am asking you who's upstairs?
Whom are you meeting in my absence?'
'That... Cable Guy.'
'Cable Guy!
What were you doing with the Cable Guy?'
'No No. you are misunderstanding.'
'I have understood everything!!'
'I won't spare him.'
'Step aside.'
'Or I will thrash you
before I take care of him.'
'You are not getting me. Let me explain.'

'Listen to me. What are you doing?'
'What are you doing? Listen to me.'
'Let me explain.'
'Please listen to me.'
'No.' [SCREAMING]
For 3 days,
I was being treated by Dr. Javed Shaikh.
I am lucky to have survived.
You have committed a big
mistake by getting him bail.
He's just out on bail.
Not acquitted of all charges.
My husband getting out
on bail is not good for me.
Now, I am even more frightened...
...because he hasn't showed up.
But, I know he is going to come back.
And, he is definitely going to kill me.
You don't worry.
He won't do anything like that.
Will you come to my rescue?
Will you come to my rescue?

Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!

Sir! Sir! Sir!
Sir! Sir! Please sir!
Did you think you will get away from me?
No, sir.
Weren't you there
in the storage room that day?
Wasn't it you, who attacked with the knife?
Yes officer!
I was present in that room.
But it's not what it looks like.
I swear, I did not commit any crime.
Sir, whenever I visited that house
to collect the payment...
...Sindoora Madam used to behave strange.
Sir.
She would ask me to come home
only when her husband was out.
I was very scared of that woman.
Didn't I tell you that
I want only the truth?
Officer, I am telling you the truth.
Sir, this year our company
decided to wish all its clients...
...by presenting a
bouquet on their birthdays.
CABLE GUY: That day was
Sindoora Madam's birthday.
So, I went to her house with a bouquet.
'Happy Birthday Madam.'
'Hey!! How do you know?'
'Ma'am, our company maintains
a database of all our customers.'
'It is on behalf of our company'
'Oh really!'
'Come on. Why are you lying?'
'I know you got this bouquet for me.'

'This...'

someone in my absence.'
SINDOORA: 'Stop blabbering the same

'Let me see whom you meet in my absence.'
'You won't like it.'
'You think I like it otherwise! Move.'
I attacked him only to defend myself.
You are lying.
You and Sindoora, both hatched
the plan to kill Raghuram Singh.
No sir.
There was no plan, officer.
I am not lying.
She is the one responsible for everything.

Who was here?
My husband.
Raghuram Singh!
How could he come here?
His bail got rejected.
Is this a joke? He was here sometime back.
You are lying madam.
Raghuram Singh is still in the lock up.
I lied to you about his bail.
Don't worry Mr. Verma. No one was here.
[SIGHS]
I was just confirming, if you would
come to my rescue when I am in trouble.
What nonsense?
- I am leaving.
- Hey! Please sit.
It's good to see someone
being concerned about me.
[SIGHS]
Are you married, Mr. Verma?
It seems you've been so preoccupied
that you forgot to get married.
It's good you are single and free.
It seems you are regretting your marriage.
Honestly, I detest marriage.
Like any other girl,
I dreamt of a perfect wedding.
Life felt like a fairy tale where
only good things happen.
But, after getting married,
I realized I was wrong.
I found that my husband
is somewhat, different.
Different?
I belong to a middle class family.
I was taught from childhood that...
...'GHOONGHAT' (Veil) is one
of the biggest assets of a woman.
But my husband never appreciated it.
Gradually, he started staying away from me.
He would shut himself in a
room after returning from work.
Then, something happened 3 years back...
[GATE CREAKING]
[CRICKET CHIRPING]
'You!'
'When did you come?'
'What is this?'
'What has happened to you?'
'SINDOORA: Where are you lost these days?'
'I don't feel like coming home.'
'Why?'
'Did I do anything wrong?'
'Yes, you have.'
'What?'
'You don't entice me anymore.'
'Why are you saying this?'
'You were looking like a fairy
on the day of our marriage.'
'I could never let you out of my sight.'
'But now, I don't feel like looking at you.'
'Why are you talking like this?'
'You are scaring me.'
'Look at her.'
'She is not a mannequin, she's a woman.'
'Can you see how ravishing
she looks in these clothes.'
'I wish she comes to life.'
'And look at you.'
'Covered from head to toe...'
'Completely lifeless.'
'You are scaring me.
Why are you behaving like this?'
'No... No.'
'You will have to do something different...'
'...something like what
'MENAKA' (a celestial nymph)...'
'...had done for 'VISHWAMITRA' (a sage).'
'The kind of clothes you wear,
they make me sick.'
'It doesn't show enough skin.'
'Undress.'
'- What are you doing?
- Undress.'
'- What are you doing?
- Undress.'
'What are you doing?'
'What this woman is wearing, it's for you.'
'Wear it and show me.'
'I am your 'VISHWAMITRA'
and you are my 'MENAKA'.'
'- Why are you saying like this?
- Seduce me.'
'SEDUCE ME!!'
'I am your 'VISHWAMITRA'!!'
'Look at me. Look at me.'
'- You are my 'MENAKA'!
- No.'
'SEDUCE ME!!'
I have been hoping for things
to get better for past two years.
He would come home with
a new demand every night.
But then last year,
something terrible started happening.
He came up with bizarre demands.

I don't know what you are talking about.
Fine!
To hell with your fantasies.
I am leaving.
Stop!
Afreen.
Afreen.
From now on, you are Raghuram
Singh's wife Sindoora Singh.
I will be meeting you as Manas Verma,
your husband's lawyer.
You will narrate me a story based
on Sindoora Singh's statement.
And then one day, you will trick
me into coming to the house...
...and rape me.
Rape!!
Have you gone mad, Javed?
[SHUSHING]
JAVED: Not Javed.
Manas.
After so many days you have
called me by my real name.
Don't start this all over again, Afreen.

Afreen, I'll die without you.
You know that I love you a lot.

You have never loved me Javed.
You just love your madness.

Afreen, we have been through this before.
You know we have been

She's very manipulative.

This will never end Javed.
Tomorrow, you will find another

I am sick of you.
Afreen, maybe I am wrong.
But trust me, I have never loved
any other woman except you.
But you've always seen other women in me.
Haven't you?
What do you get out of this?
You will never understand the pleasure
in getting closer to someone else's wife.
I can't be a part of this madness.
What sort of madness is this, Javed?
You come home like a stranger.
And force your wife into Role play.
[LAUGHS]
But, what's wrong with this?
Whatever we do, we do it inside our house.
And Afreen, you were doing so well.
But, why do you keep bringing
up our stories in between?
You shouldn't have talked
about the mannequin incident.
My husband is different.
- 'You are my 'MENAKA',
- I am your 'VISHWAMITRA'!!'
- 'SEDUCE ME!!
- SEDUCE ME!!'
No Javed.
That's it.
I can't be a part of this anymore.
- I am freeing myself today.

He's still breathing Sharma.
Quickly, send him to the hospital.
Yes sir.
'Mrs. Sindoora, what happened that day?'
'It was my birthday.'
'I had a severe headache.'
'That's when the Cable Guy
came home to collect the payment.'
'He was holding a bouquet
which was sent from his company.'
'Suddenly,
I felt dizzy and I collapsed on him.'
'And he took advantage of that.'
'Dr. Javed, I am giving you
the copy of this diary at my risk.'
'Thank you so much Sir.'
'But, I want one more favor.'
'Yes.'
'When you catch hold of that Cable Guy.
Can I be present during interrogation?'
'But, why are you
so interested in this case?'
'Just for academic knowledge.'
I am going to disappear after tonight.
I have burnt all the proofs of my identity.
'I hope no one will be able to trace me.'
'But, before I leave,
I want to reveal something.'
'A kind of reality you probably
haven't seen or heard before.'
'A sin, that makes me hate myself.'
Sir, have a look. There are some
weird things written in these papers.
It's very strange Sir,
that someone could do like this.
Giving instructions to his
wife to say and do things.
'Mrs. Sindoora I just
want to know the truth.'
'I don't want to talk to
my husband's lawyer.'
I was scared of Dr. Javed.
He was very strange.
He would dress up as a woman at home.
I have seen him calling his
own wife by different names.
'Is Sindoora Raghuram Singh home?'
[SIREN WAILING]
'You'll must be thinking why I
kept quiet for so many years?'
'Honestly speaking...'
'...I never realized when his small
fantasies turned into wild fetish.'
I am the investigating officer of
Sindoora and Raghuram Singh's case.
INSPECTOR:
A building contractor by profession...
...Raghuram Singh always suspected
his wife Sindoora Singh's character...
...which led to a lot of
fights between them.
INSPECTOR: Few days back, Sindoora Singh
filed a complaint against Raghuram Singh...
...under section 307 (Attempt to Murder).
INSPECTOR: Due to a head injury...
...Sindoora Singh was treated
by Dr. Javed in his clinic.
And during investigation,
Dr. Javed closely observed Sindoora Singh...
...and turned his wife Afreen into Sindoora
and started meeting her as a lawyer.
'I am Manas Verma,
your husband Raghuram Singh's lawyer.'
'Sir, I have never seen or
heard anything like this before.'
'Javed would often meet
Afreen like a stranger.'
'She used to be very upset.'
'She would share her problems with me.'
'Many times I tried to inform the police,
but Afreen always stopped me.'
'I have recorded their
conversation in this tape recorder.'
'You will be amazed to know that he
had also met Afreen Shaikh in my disguise.'
'I feel I am the one
responsible for all this.'
'Because, had I opposed
my husband the very first day...'
'...this wouldn't have come this far.'
In the house, we found an
exact replica of a police lockup.
INSPECTOR: And it seems
Dr. Javed would dress up his wife...
...as Raghuram Singh for interrogation.
'You will now pretend as
Raghuram Singh and tell me...'
'...that your wife is plotting against you.'
'Why don't you believe me,
that woman is trying to frame me.'
'There is nothing called
love in my wife's dictionary.'
'Once, he dropped an envelope
in his own car...'
'...and started reading it as
if someone else put it there.'
'The gardener would often advise
me to go and complaint to the Police...'
'...but I thought why should we
interfere in someone's private matter.'
INSPECTOR: All the evidences found
in the house prove that...
...Dr. Javed was imagining someone
else's incident in his own house.
Clearly speaking, he was involved
in a one sided Role Play with his wife.
And, Afreen Shaikh was
unwillingly participating in it.
'So you did get angry?'
'Yes I was angry.'
'Who wouldn't be?'
'Your head injury!!
You were wearing a bandage yesterday.'
'I forgot.'
'Afreen, don't forget that you
are playing Sindoora's character. - Javed.'
'How could you leave the
house without a bandage?'
'Please don't bother that old
man in our household matters.'
'You know we've been doing
this to save our marriage.'
'Honestly, I detest marriage.'
'This is Madness.'
'After all such things
can't stay hidden for long.'
'I am putting an end to this madness today.'
'I want to live my life as Afreen.'
'As Afreen.'
[GROANING]
MALE REPORTER: Sir, can we assume
that Afreen Shaikh...
...was a victim of psychological rape?
And will her husband
Dr. Javed Shaikh be convicted?
The investigation has just begun.
If there is any progress
I shall update you.
- Okay. Let me go.
- Sir. Sir.
Sir, Will Afreen Shaikh
be taken into custody? - No comments.
- Sir. Sir, do Raghuram and Sindoora know...
- No more questions, please.
...that their case was being
used by Dr. Javed for Role play? - Sir.
- MAN 1: Is Role play a disease?
- MAN 2: Sir. Sir.
MAN 3: Is Role play illegal?
AFREEN: What do you get out of this?
JAVED: You will never
understand the pleasure...
...in getting closer to someone else's wife.

Your wife Sindoora Singh's
statement claims that...
...you've physically assaulted her.
Sir, Look at this.
Just assume this is a glass...
A wine glass.
I am sure you have seen it before.
You've been charged under section 307...
...Half murder.
There is a fly stuck inside
this wine glass... Poor fly...
...Wondering how to get out.
You are the one stuck here Raghuram Singh.
You will be going behind
bars for a long time.
Now, the challenge for you is...
...to move only two sides of the glass...
...and get this fly out
without touching it.
And remember,
it should again form the shape of a glass.
The medical report confirms that
your wife suffered severe head injury.
She could have died.
She should have died!!
It would've been such a relief.
She deserves to be punished for her deeds.
Anyways,
you will be glad to know that your wife...
...has been discharged from the hospital.
So, can I go home?
I am just your lawyer, not a judge.
Mr. Verma, please do something.
Get me out of here.
Please.
I can't do much right now.
Let me try after Diwali.
Try!!! It seems as if you have
surrendered without a fight.
Why don't you believe me,
that woman is trying to frame me.
She is falsely accusing
me of attempting on her life.
She has forgotten that I
loved her more than myself.
Love!!
People in love don't get angry.
Ohh! Please, don't lecture me on love.
It is natural to get angry
with people we love.
So you did get angry?
Yes I was angry. Who wouldn't be?
There is nothing called
love in my wife's dictionary.
Love means something else to her.
What do you mean?
[GASPS]
My wife was cheating on me.
I had become an obstacle.
So she decided to get me out of her way.
On the day of the incident...
...There was someone
hiding in the storage room.
He attacked me with a knife.
Look at this!
Who was hiding?
Why don't you ask my wife?
Don't shout.
As your lawyer, I am asking you.
Who was he?
It was dark. I couldn't see his face.
But I am sure that she
was trying to hide him.
She would often invite
other men in my absence.
Raghuram Singh!!
This could be held against you.
You had a clear motive
to get angry and violent.
The prosecutor will
prove you guilty in no time.
Will you be hatching eggs in the courtroom?
I have explained everything in
my diary about my wife's character.
You should read it.
Moreover, I have told everything
to Inspector Shrivastava.
I don't want to say anything further.
You should leave now. And let me
focus on getting the fly out of the glass.

Madam, I need only 5 minutes of your time.

Okay!
Any update on that cable guy about whom...

No. We could only manage to get his photo.
He seems to be absconding.
Interestingly,
Raghuram Singh never mentioned...
...about any cable guy in his statement.

According to him, the one who attacked
him with a knife was someone else.
That's why it's important to catch him.
Have you read Raghuram Singh's diary?
No!
If you read it, you'll be quite clear.
By the way, I have noticed something.
The wound on Sindoora's forehead...
...doesn't seem as serious
as she's claiming it to be.
Honestly, I suspect Sindoora Singh.
During interrogation at the hospital,
she would give me strange looks.
I didn't get you.

Are you mad?
Who made you a lawyer?
How can I call you?
How can I get a phone here?
This is all Sindoora's plan.
Just shut up!
You are stopping me from knowing the truth.
Mr. Verma, I think you have
bribed your way to become a lawyer.
Understand her game.
If I am out on bail,
she would lose her freedom.
That's why she's using you against me.
She is killing two birds with one stone.
What do you mean?
My wife has a weird fetish.
Fetish!
What fetish?
Ahhhhh!!!!
Now that got you excited!
Raghuram Singh,
don't waste my time and speak up.
If you have read my diary...
...then you must have figured
out that my wife is abnormal.
And, her obsession is of a different scale.
What obsession?
The obsession to control men...
She gets a high in seducing men.
She gets a kick out of that.
But you are stubborn, and she
knows that you are not an easy catch.
That's why she's trying to
act innocent in front of you.
Pretending to be weak so that
you get emotionally attached to her.
And then, use you against me.
Bullshit. Bullshit.
This isn't bullshit. It's the truth.
What you are seeing, isn't the truth.
Truth is disgusting.
Extremely disgusting.
Is it?
And, what's the truth?
If you want the truth...
...then see things from my
perspective and not from a lawyers.
My wife is the one who
is writing this story...

Why don't you meet me at leisure...

Why haven't you appointed

I didn't think it was necessary.
I believe the truth will be out on its own.

If my husband is out on bail,
he will kill me.
And you shall be responsible.
Don't bother that old man

[EAGLES SCREECH]
So, finally he has managed
to put the entire blame on me.
He has proved me guilty
and bailed himself out.
He knows very well how to play mind games.
My life is also being
controlled by my husband.
I didn't get you.
You will never understand, Mr. Verma.
You are just seeing what
my husband wants you to see.
And you are doing exactly what
my husband wants you to do.
I just want to know the truth.
I was not feeling too well that day.
I had a severe headache.
When I couldn't sleep
despite trying for long...
I decided to watch a movie.
'I picked up a DVD and
inserted it into the DVD player.'
'Just then the doorbell rang.'
[DOORBELL]
'Happy Birthday Madam.'
'How do you know?'
'Madam, we maintain a database
of all our customers.'
'This bouquet is on behalf of our company.'
'Really!! Thank you.'
'Madam, your payment for
cable connection is pending.'
'Okay.'
[EXHALE]
[BACKGROUND DIALOGUES ON TV]
'Take this.'
'Thank you Madam.'
'Madam! Are you alright?'
'Yes! Feeling a bit dizzy since morning.'
'Can I get you some medicines?'
'No no, that's alright.
Give me the receipt.'
'Take this.'
'Thank you Madam.'
'Madam!! You really seem unwell.'
'Let me help you to your room.'
- '- No. I can manage.
- Let me help you.'
'Come.'
'Carefully. Come.'
'I am fine.'
'No no Madam, Let me help you to your room.'
'I am fine. You just leave.'
- '- Madam, let me help you to your room.
- I am fine. You please leave.'
'Wow! You seem to have
an unusual taste in movies.'
'Mind your language. And get out of here.'
'I can't step back.'
'It's too late now.'
'Listen. If my husband
comes to know he will kill you.'
'Really?'
'Then, he will also come to know what
kind of movies you watch in his absence.'
'I will scream if you
don't leave right now.'
'Please scream.'
'But if you keep quiet no one will know.'
'What are you doing?'
CABLE GUY: 'Madam. Madam.'
[HEAVY BREATHING]
'It's good.'
'I like the darkness.'
'Now you won't feel shy in front of me.'
'Should we play hide and seek?'
"Let's play hide and seek...
Let's play hide and seek."
'Caught you!!!'
[DOORBELL]
[DOORBELL]
[SCREAMING]
'Sindoora.'
'Where the hell are you?'
[SCREAMING]
'Are you deaf?'
'I have been ringing the doorbell.
Why didn't you open the door?'
'Why do you look so terrified?'
'Upstairs...'
'Upstairs!!'
'Who's upstairs?'
'With whom were you
watching this dirty film?'
'No. You are misunderstanding.'
'Am I misunderstanding?'
'I am asking you who's upstairs?
Whom are you meeting in my absence?'
'That... Cable Guy.'
'Cable Guy!
What were you doing with the Cable Guy?'
'No No. you are misunderstanding.'
'I have understood everything!!'
'I won't spare him.'
'Step aside.'
'Or I will thrash you
before I take care of him.'
'You are not getting me. Let me explain.'
[GROANING]
[GROANING]
[GROANING IN PAIN]
'Where are you? Where are you?'
'Come out.'
'I am going to kill you.'
'Where are you?'
[SCREAMING]
- '- I'll kill you!
- Help me!'
'Hey stop!'
'Help me!'
'I'll kill you.'
'Help me!'
'Stop! Where the hell are you going?'
'Hey stop!'
'Listen to me. What are you doing?'
'What are you doing? Listen to me.'
'Let me explain.'
'Please listen to me.'
'No.' [SCREAMING]
For 3 days,
I was being treated by Dr. Javed Shaikh.
I am lucky to have survived.
You have committed a big
mistake by getting him bail.
He's just out on bail.
Not acquitted of all charges.
My husband getting out
on bail is not good for me.
Now, I am even more frightened...
...because he hasn't showed up.
But, I know he is going to come back.
And, he is definitely going to kill me.
You don't worry.
He won't do anything like that.
Will you come to my rescue?
Will you come to my rescue?

Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!
Sir.
Sir! Sir! Sir!
Sir! Sir! Please sir!
Did you think you will get away from me?
No, sir.
Weren't you there
in the storage room that day?
Wasn't it you, who attacked with the knife?
Yes officer!
I was present in that room.
But it's not what it looks like.
I swear, I did not commit any crime.
Sir, whenever I visited that house
to collect the payment...
...Sindoora Madam used to behave strange.
Sir.
She would ask me to come home
only when her husband was out.
I was very scared of that woman.
Didn't I tell you that
I want only the truth?
Officer, I am telling you the truth.
Sir, this year our company
decided to wish all its clients...
...by presenting a
bouquet on their birthdays.
CABLE GUY: That day was
Sindoora Madam's birthday.
So, I went to her house with a bouquet.
'Happy Birthday Madam.'
'Hey!! How do you know?'
'Ma'am, our company maintains
a database of all our customers.'
'It is on behalf of our company'
'Oh really!'
'Come on. Why are you lying?'
'I know you got this bouquet for me.'
SINDOORA: 'Isn't it?'
'This...'

'No, no ma'am. I can't do this, madam.'
'Idiot. If you don't kill him,
he will kill you.' [DOORBELL]
'Come on! Come on! Come on!'

RAGHURAM: 'I have been ringing the doorbell.
Why didn't you open the door?'
SINDOORA: 'You have your keys, right?'
RAGHURAM: 'What's all this?'
'Why do you keep watching such dirty films?'
'It's not necessary what you
find dirty even others should.'
RAGHURAM: 'And who got you this bouquet?'
SINDOORA:'Why do you care?'
'Who's upstairs?'
'Who is hiding there?'
- 'I am asking you who's upstairs.
- Stop!!'
SINDOORA: 'Ohh!'
SINDOORA: 'So you have called
someone in my absence.'
SINDOORA: 'Stop blabbering the same
thing again and again.'
'Let me see whom you meet in my absence.'
'You won't like it.'
'You think I like it otherwise! Move.'
I attacked him only to defend myself.
You are lying.
You and Sindoora, both hatched
the plan to kill Raghuram Singh.
No sir.
There was no plan, officer.
I am not lying.
She is the one responsible for everything.

[DOG BARKING IN BACKGROUND]
Who was here?
My husband.
Raghuram Singh!
How could he come here?
His bail got rejected.
Is this a joke? He was here sometime back.
You are lying madam.
Raghuram Singh is still in the lock up.
I lied to you about his bail.
Don't worry Mr. Verma. No one was here.
[SIGHS]
I was just confirming, if you would
come to my rescue when I am in trouble.
What nonsense?
- I am leaving.
- Hey! Please sit.
It's good to see someone
being concerned about me.
[SIGHS]
Are you married, Mr. Verma?
It seems you've been so preoccupied
that you forgot to get married.
It's good you are single and free.
It seems you are regretting your marriage.
Honestly, I detest marriage.
Like any other girl,
I dreamt of a perfect wedding.
Life felt like a fairy tale where
only good things happen.
But, after getting married,
I realized I was wrong.
I found that my husband
is somewhat, different.
Different?
I belong to a middle class family.
I was taught from childhood that...
...'GHOONGHAT' (Veil) is one
of the biggest assets of a woman.
But my husband never appreciated it.
Gradually, he started staying away from me.
He would shut himself in a
room after returning from work.
Then, something happened 3 years back...
[GATE CREAKING]
[CRICKET CHIRPING]
'You!'
'When did you come?'
'What is this?'
'What has happened to you?'
'SINDOORA: Where are you lost these days?'
'I don't feel like coming home.'
'Why?'
'Did I do anything wrong?'
'Yes, you have.'
'What?'
'You don't entice me anymore.'
'Why are you saying this?'
'You were looking like a fairy
on the day of our marriage.'
'I could never let you out of my sight.'
'But now, I don't feel like looking at you.'
'Why are you talking like this?'
'You are scaring me.'
'Look at her.'
'She is not a mannequin, she's a woman.'
'Can you see how ravishing
she looks in these clothes.'
'I wish she comes to life.'
'And look at you.'
'Covered from head to toe...'
'Completely lifeless.'
'You are scaring me.
Why are you behaving like this?'
'No... No.'
'You will have to do something different...'
'...something like what
'MENAKA' (a celestial nymph)...'
'...had done for 'VISHWAMITRA' (a sage).'
'The kind of clothes you wear,
they make me sick.'
'It doesn't show enough skin.'
'Undress.'
'- What are you doing?
- Undress.'
'- What are you doing?
- Undress.'
'What are you doing?'
'What this woman is wearing, it's for you.'
'Wear it and show me.'
'I am your 'VISHWAMITRA'
and you are my 'MENAKA'.'
'- Why are you saying like this?
- Seduce me.'
'SEDUCE ME!!'
'I am your 'VISHWAMITRA'!!'
'Look at me. Look at me.'
'- You are my 'MENAKA'!
- No.'
'SEDUCE ME!!'
I have been hoping for things
to get better for past two years.
He would come home with
a new demand every night.
But then last year,
something terrible started happening.
He came up with bizarre demands.

And why are you wearing a Burqa?
Come out of this lawyer's character, Javed!
Who is Javed?
What's this rubbish, Mrs. Sindoora?
What's all this?
And why is there a lock up here?
Come out of this character, Javed!
For how long will this go on?
What!!
I don't know what you are talking about.
Fine!
To hell with your fantasies.
I am leaving.
Stop!
Afreen.
Afreen.
From now on, you are Raghuram
Singh's wife Sindoora Singh.
I will be meeting you as Manas Verma,
your husband's lawyer.
You will narrate me a story based
on Sindoora Singh's statement.
And then one day, you will trick
me into coming to the house...
...and rape me.
Rape!!
Have you gone mad, Javed?
[SHUSHING]
JAVED: Not Javed.
Manas.
After so many days you have
called me by my real name.
Don't start this all over again, Afreen.
No Javed.
I am putting an end to this madness today.
Afreen, I'll die without you.
You know that I love you a lot.
Love!
You have never loved me Javed.
You just love your madness.
[GROANING]
[GROANING]
Afreen, we have been through this before.
You know we have been
doing this to save our marriage.
And anyways, Raghuram and
Sindoora's story is almost over.
Stay away from that woman.
She's very manipulative.
IMITATING RAGHURAM: She's ignoring you,
so that you get attracted towards her.
Hello!
[CHUCKLES]
Hello!
Hello!
This will never end Javed.
Tomorrow, you will find another
woman and you would want me to be her.
There is no end to your fetish.
But today, you have stooped so low that
you wanted to get raped by your own wife.
I am sick of you.
Afreen, maybe I am wrong.
But trust me, I have never loved
any other woman except you.
But you've always seen other women in me.
Haven't you?
What do you get out of this?
You will never understand the pleasure
in getting closer to someone else's wife.
I can't be a part of this madness.
What sort of madness is this, Javed?
You come home like a stranger.
And force your wife into Role play.
[LAUGHS]
But, what's wrong with this?
Whatever we do, we do it inside our house.
And Afreen, you were doing so well.
But, why do you keep bringing
up our stories in between?
You shouldn't have talked
about the mannequin incident.
My husband is different.
- 'You are my 'MENAKA',
- I am your 'VISHWAMITRA'!!'
- 'SEDUCE ME!!
- SEDUCE ME!!'
No Javed.
That's it.
I can't be a part of this anymore.
- I am freeing myself today.
- No.
I want to live my life as Afreen.
As Afreen.
No. No!! Afreen!
I'll go mad if you leave me.
No one understands me better than you.

He's still breathing Sharma.
Quickly, send him to the hospital.
Yes sir.
'Mrs. Sindoora, what happened that day?'
'It was my birthday.'
'I had a severe headache.'
'That's when the Cable Guy
came home to collect the payment.'
'He was holding a bouquet
which was sent from his company.'
'Suddenly,
I felt dizzy and I collapsed on him.'
'And he took advantage of that.'
'Dr. Javed, I am giving you
the copy of this diary at my risk.'
'Thank you so much Sir.'
'But, I want one more favor.'
'Yes.'
'When you catch hold of that Cable Guy.
Can I be present during interrogation?'
'But, why are you
so interested in this case?'
'Just for academic knowledge.'
I am going to disappear after tonight.
I have burnt all the proofs of my identity.
'I hope no one will be able to trace me.'
'But, before I leave,
I want to reveal something.'
'A kind of reality you probably
haven't seen or heard before.'
'A sin, that makes me hate myself.'
Sir, have a look. There are some
weird things written in these papers.
It's very strange Sir,
that someone could do like this.
Giving instructions to his
wife to say and do things.
'Mrs. Sindoora I just
want to know the truth.'
'I don't want to talk to
my husband's lawyer.'
I was scared of Dr. Javed.
He was very strange.
He would dress up as a woman at home.
I have seen him calling his
own wife by different names.
'Is Sindoora Raghuram Singh home?'
[SIREN WAILING]
'You'll must be thinking why I
kept quiet for so many years?'
'Honestly speaking...'
'...I never realized when his small
fantasies turned into wild fetish.'
I am the investigating officer of
Sindoora and Raghuram Singh's case.
INSPECTOR:
A building contractor by profession...
...Raghuram Singh always suspected
his wife Sindoora Singh's character...
...which led to a lot of
fights between them.
INSPECTOR: Few days back, Sindoora Singh
filed a complaint against Raghuram Singh...
...under section 307 (Attempt to Murder).
INSPECTOR: Due to a head injury...
...Sindoora Singh was treated
by Dr. Javed in his clinic.
And during investigation,
Dr. Javed closely observed Sindoora Singh...
...and turned his wife Afreen into Sindoora
and started meeting her as a lawyer.
'I am Manas Verma,
your husband Raghuram Singh's lawyer.'
'Sir, I have never seen or
heard anything like this before.'
'Javed would often meet
Afreen like a stranger.'
'She used to be very upset.'
'She would share her problems with me.'
'Many times I tried to inform the police,
but Afreen always stopped me.'
'I have recorded their
conversation in this tape recorder.'
'You will be amazed to know that he
had also met Afreen Shaikh in my disguise.'
'I feel I am the one
responsible for all this.'
'Because, had I opposed
my husband the very first day...'
'...this wouldn't have come this far.'
In the house, we found an
exact replica of a police lockup.
INSPECTOR: And it seems
Dr. Javed would dress up his wife...
...as Raghuram Singh for interrogation.
'You will now pretend as
Raghuram Singh and tell me...'
'...that your wife is plotting against you.'
'Why don't you believe me,
that woman is trying to frame me.'
'There is nothing called
love in my wife's dictionary.'
'Once, he dropped an envelope
in his own car...'
'...and started reading it as
if someone else put it there.'
'The gardener would often advise
me to go and complaint to the Police...'
'...but I thought why should we
interfere in someone's private matter.'
INSPECTOR: All the evidences found
in the house prove that...
...Dr. Javed was imagining someone
else's incident in his own house.
Clearly speaking, he was involved
in a one sided Role Play with his wife.
And, Afreen Shaikh was
unwillingly participating in it.
'So you did get angry?'
'Yes I was angry.'
'Who wouldn't be?'
'Your head injury!!
You were wearing a bandage yesterday.'
'I forgot.'
'Afreen, don't forget that you
are playing Sindoora's character. - Javed.'
'How could you leave the
house without a bandage?'
'Please don't bother that old
man in our household matters.'
'You know we've been doing
this to save our marriage.'
'Honestly, I detest marriage.'
'This is Madness.'
'After all such things
can't stay hidden for long.'
'I am putting an end to this madness today.'
'I want to live my life as Afreen.'
'As Afreen.'
[GROANING]
MALE REPORTER: Sir, can we assume
that Afreen Shaikh...
...was a victim of psychological rape?
And will her husband
Dr. Javed Shaikh be convicted?
The investigation has just begun.
If there is any progress
I shall update you.
- Okay. Let me go.
- Sir. Sir.
Sir, Will Afreen Shaikh
be taken into custody? - No comments.
- Sir. Sir, do Raghuram and Sindoora know...
- No more questions, please.
...that their case was being
used by Dr. Javed for Role play? - Sir.
- MAN 1: Is Role play a disease?
- MAN 2: Sir. Sir.
MAN 3: Is Role play illegal?
AFREEN: What do you get out of this?
JAVED: You will never
understand the pleasure...
...in getting closer to someone else's wife.
