Sync (2023) Movie Script

[radio playing]
So? How did it go?
What did he say?
He says the budget is too big.
He said hell produce
if we arrange the funding.
If we have the funds,
why would we be sitting here?
Okay, relax.
Did you narrate the story at least?
No. He didnt even listen to the script.
Only his EP heard.
That too only the synopsis.
For that, she had
ten thousand questions.
"Whys this like this?
Whys this like that?"
"This seems to have logical loopholes."
"Whats this characters core motive?"
How'll you know all this
from just a synopsis?
- Okay, relax.
- Pissing me off. Synopsissynopsis
Well see what to do next.
Hey, can you please remove that mask?
Leave it Gautham, well get through this.
How are you even wearing that?
Youre inside the car, right?
That guy inside was coughing like
a terminally ill patient. Thats why.
Babe! Come on!
Wait. I have a plan, okay?
(phone ringing)
Why are you calling him now?

Hellowhy are you torturing me at this time?
We came to Gauthams office meeting...

- Why Pondy?
Lets go and have a blast.
Were not drinking.
We have to be back tonight.
And, ask Madhu to be ready.
You know she wont come.
You know I wont come if we dont drink.
Dude, well go there and see.

[ominous music]
Nithu!
Whats happening Gautham?
- What happened?
- Nithu, wake up!
- Is she okay?
- The brake's not working.
- What do you mean it's not working?
- It's feels tight.
What are you saying Gautham?
- I think it's jammed.
- What are you saying?
- I'm scared, Sibi.
- Take your leg off the accelerator.
It's not working. I have no idea.
Why would I simply say that?
I'm trying. I don't know what's going on!
- Sibi, help me!
- Stop screwing around dude.
What do you want me to do?
I'm fucking trying!
- Don't fucking panic.
- Slow down!
Just wait! What can I do,
if the brake is not working?
Try the brakes.
Try the brakes, Gautham!
You're on the wrong side, Gautham!
[woman screams]
[ambulance siren]
Hey!
Where...are those two?
Dont know.
I've messaged Sibi.
Gautham isn't picking up.
Did...something go wrong?
Not sure.
You guys, okay?
- Yeah.
- Hmmm.
Wheres he?
Hes not here yet.
Call him.
I did.
Try again.
What?
Hes not picking up.
This is unwanted bullshit.
We should have shut up
and stayed at home.
Sibi, just calm down.
This is not the time to point fingers.
Madhu, are you okay?
- Youre not hurt, right?
- No.
Mymy hands alone hurt a bit.
Otherwise, Im okay.
Okay. Just calm down. Dont worry.
Itll be fine.
What's the hurry?
I've to drive right?
How long Gautham?
Do you know how tense we are?
You couldn't leave a message at least?
Netra, you okay?
Okay calm down. Im sorry.
Are you okay?
Are you guys okay?
Ya ya. But Madhu hurt her hand.
Madhu, you want to see a doctor?
I can come take you.
No no it's okay
If it gets worse...
We can go tomorrow.
You sure?
Yeah.
He's gone mad!
What the fuck is wrong with you Gautham?
How can you be laughing
at a situation like this?
Gautham!
No no. Sorry sorry.
But its all taken care of.
Absolutely no problem.
Don't worry.
You sure?
If we're caught, were screwed.
I took care of everything.
Theres nothing to worry. It's okay.
Fuck.
Madhu, its fine Madhu.
Its not like we did it on purpose.
Nothings going to happen.
It's fine. Just relax.
You sure?
Im really scared Gautham.
Why dont we leave town for some time?
Why are you blabbering now?
Something like that will only
attract more attention to us.
Just be quiet,
thats more than enough.
Why the hell are you yelling at her?
You were the one who drove
the car like a maniac.
Oh? All this is because of me, right?
Can you shut the hell up?
I told you I took care of it right?
Why are you bugging me?
Just shut up, that's enough.
Blindly supporting her all the time.
(phone ringing)
Look, thats Mugilan sir calling.
Hello.
Yeah sure sir sure sir.
Thank you so much, sir.
No, sir. It was an accident,
not intentional.
Yeah, sure sir.
Sir one more thing,
Ive sent you a small gift.
Sure sir, please say "hello"
to everyone at home.
Thank you. Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you.
What did he say?
He said the formalities are over.
Theyve gone to the hospital.
I think the doctors are performing the surgery now.
He says its all good.
They closed the case,
claiming the vehicle was not found.
We could have taken her
to the hospital ourselves, right?
Would you face prison if she died
en route to the hospital?
- Dude!
- It's like we're incriminating ourselves to the cops.
Can all of you please shut up?
I told you Im handling it right?
Gautham is right.
Its enough if the surgery is successful.
What about CCTV cameras on the way?
CCTV? In that useless highway?
Also, we took the route
which Mugilan sir suggested.
So, Im pretty sure were safe.
How much...money did you give?
Not much. I know him for a long time.
One lakh for him.
And, one and a half for hospital expenses.
Thats all?
What thats all?
Its not like that person died, right?
- Hey!
- Why are you talking like this?
(door knocking)
[SHRUTHI]
Gautham!
Yeah coming.
This guy...
Not even a little bit of --
He told you it's been taken care of, right?
- Finefine
- Leave it.
(phone ringing)
Behaves like a criminal,
but checkout his ringtone.
Why do you keep complaining about him?
Are you perfect?
Please, you don't have to
take his side all the time.
This is just too much.
You're upset Madhu said "no" to you.
You're projecting that on us.
Hey!
What are you guys talking about?
Okay, leave all that.
If you give us a wedding date,
we'll use that as an excuse to get
some new clothes and goodies, right?
What do you feel about that?
Its not like I dont want to.
But he pulls back whenever
I bring that topic up.
Sibi...
Can you please shut up?
Cool cool.
(phone ringing)
[MADHU'S MOM]
Madhu!
That divine voice belongs to
my mother-in-law, right?
Hi!
You still didnt leave?
It was all because of your dad.
He thinks being late is cool.
So, we missed the train.
Were driving there tomorrow morning.
Since our trip got postponed,
want to come along?
Im not coming, mom.
Whats with the empty chat window?
His sister called him Aunty.
I'm sure he'll only come
after hogging something.
What happened?
You look very tired.
Im okay Mom.
You are the one who looks tired.
Your hands are cold.
Did you take your pills?
Just go and sleep.
Okay, you have something before going to bed.
- Okay bye!
- Bye!
(Gautham's phone vibrating)
Take a shower and then go to bed, Mom.
Welcome back sir.
Did you stuff your face nicely?
No dude. My sister was asking
about what happened.
Poor thing. She must have been
really worried.
Yeah. But she wont show it outside.
Leave it.
Its over now.
Dude, you got a phone call.
Fuck, the battery is dead.
Dude, why do you even need two phones?
Don't show off.
Nithu you dont find this suspicious?
This is my emergency phone
for situations like today.
- Oh ho! ok ok.
- Look to your right. Whats there on that shelf?
You mean this?
This phone died many years ago.
Im just using it as a prop at home. Happy?
I cant believe you still have that phone.
This phone will always be a part of me.
Its very special to me.
Please stop.
[SHRUTHI]
Gautham!
- Hi!
- Hey!
- Hi, sister!
- Hello!
Whats up people?
Heard the trip was amazing!
Why are you pulling our leg, Sister?
Thanks a lot.
In that instance...
We didnt know what to do.
Dont worry. Dont think about it too much.
Thank you, Sister.
Netra, hows Mom?
What did the doctors say?
Ligament tear. She has to use a
wheelchair for a couple of months.
Oh okay. If you need any help,
ask anytime, okay?
Listen, the flight landed a while ago.
Your brother-in-law is on his way.
Okay? Dont sleep off.
He wants to talk to you.
Dont worry, sister.
We wont let him sleep.
- Not before he gets an earful from him first.
- You be quiet now.
Dont worry.
He just wants to talk, okay?
Buh-bye!
Dude!
Dude, listen.
Know what I think?
He just wants to talk...
Doesnt it sound like,
hes going to rip you apart?
Shut the fuck up Sibi.
Why are you being so insensitive?
(phone vibrating)
Mugilan sir has called me twice dude.
Could there be some problem?
Theres absolutely no problem.
Dude, didnt I tell you already
that you got calls?
What could it be?
Just call him back.
Why are you afraid?
Isnt it late?
He called you, right?
It's not even been ten minutes.
Do you think he would have
slept already? You call.
He didnt pick up.
That doesnt matter.
You keep calling him.
- What if its something important?
- Chill chill. Relax.
Lets see if he calls back.
If its that important he will, wont he?
Or else call him back in the morning.
(doorbell ringing)
Im sure thats your brother-in-law.
Go get thrashed.
After this...
Police wont come, right?
Why should the cops come?
Why are you blabbering now?
Its better you keep quiet.
He told that its all
taken care of, right?
Dude, shut up.
Nobodys going to come.
You relax babe.
Correct.
Even Netra wont go to see him...
Why would the cops go?
I dont
For once, can you be serious?
Whats wrong in what I just asked?
Im only asking because Im concerned, right?
Why do you keep silencing me?
I was trying to calm you down, thats all.
You seemed too worried.
Okay, Im sorry.
Yes, proceed.
Who do you think?
It was my brother-in-law only.
He said nothing.
There was someone with him.
That's why he didn't say anything I guess.
He just went in quietly.
He didnt say anything?
You want us to believe that?
Nonsense!
What did he say?
I swear.
He just gave me a weird look
and went in.
Who has come along?
Not sure. Must be a colleague.
Colleague? Male or female?
Why?
You want to hear no from her as well?
Im sure hes used to rejections by now.
Had you said "yes,"
why would I be like this?
Forget about them. Negativity!
You tell me.
She looked good?
I dont know.
She looked kind of innocent.
Innocent?
Innocent and pretty, is it?
Then go be with her asshole.
Did I say she was pretty?
Why dont you say that
and see what happens?
Can you keep quiet, please?
Whatever.
Dude your sister is coming.
Listen...
You go get some rest,
well talk tomorrow.
Looks like he is super pissed with me.
Nothing like that.
Hes just concerned.
Imagine what would you have done
if it wasnt for him.
Sorry.
Relax. Go sleep.
Okay?
You?
I'm making dinner for him.
I don't think he ate on the plane.
Too paranoid to remove his mask.
Wait Ill order something.
Why cook now?
Ill order juice for you.
You relax.
Okay, dont order anything spicy.
- What about his colleague?
- [SHRUTHI'S HUSBAND] - Shruthi!
Yeah, Im coming.
Anything, okay.
- Goodnight, guys. Buh-bye.
- Bye, sister.
Dude, order a falooda for me.
Yeah right. Falooda it seems.
Fuck, Im hungry.
Not sure why...
AC is at twenty-six degrees...
...but still Im feeling super cold.
You want to cuddle?
Dont make me abuse you, please.
Okay relax.
What did you order?
Just the usual stuff.
And some juice.
Andfor the guest?
Yeah, for her also.
(doorbell ringing)
Wow that was fast.
Your sister is going.
Whens your sister expecting?
Two more months.
Have they decided on the name?
Ya ya. But she wont say
anything if you ask her.
[cat crying]
Gautham?
Sister, shut the door properly.
The cats have gotten inside again.
I hate babies and cats.
What happened?
Its nothing.
Cats get frisky at night
and start yowling.
There are two cats outside his house.
Theyll be waiting to barge in
the moment someone opens the door.
Annoying.
What?
The door is open.
My sister and brother-in-law are not there.
What do you mean they're not there?
They must have gone down
to get the luggage.
What about that innocent-looking guest?
Stop being a jerk Sibi.
Then youll keep bugging me
to say yes to you.
Why are you getting upset?
I'm just kidding, right?
Both of you just shut up.
Shes just relaxing in the guest bedroom.
What now?
Shes cutting my call.
Why are you rushing?
Is she a kid? Shes gone out
with her husband only, right?
(screams)
What the fuck?
Netra?
Are you okay?
- You okay?
- What happened?
Netra, say something Netra.

What touched you?
I dont know.
Are youare you okay?
Must be a muscle spasm, thats all.
As simple as that.

She keeps cutting my calls.
Thats because she doesnt want
to be disturbed. Isn't that obvious?
Madhu, you okay?
What happened, you okay?
- What happened?
- Ma!
This is milk ma!
So?
Shes allergic to milk.
And I think it is spoilt.
Okay you relax.
Have a sip of water.

Babe, relax.
It must be a muscle twitch, thats all.
Youll be okay.
Ill give you a massage tomorrow.
Yeah, we know what kind of massage that is.
Whys that bothering you?
If I tell the reason,
will Madhu come and?
- Get lost.
- You're just disgusting.
How are you still friends with him?
Hello! You know him for only ten years.
I know him for twenty-three years.
- Love you, bro.
- Love you, brother.
My gosh!

Were not jobless.
Hey idiot!
Why are you crying now?
Instead of morning,
they must have left now, thats all.
They wont go like this
without informing me.
Also...
Why the hurry...to leave at this time?
Maybe Uncle has taken her out
to surprise her for her birthday?
Dont cry, Madhu.
Itll be okay.
Guys, if this is a prank...
- No.
- I beg you to stop it.
Please I cant take it.

All this is because of you Gautham.
Why the fuck is it my fault? Why the fuck do
you guys keep blaming me for everything?
Ever since the accident today,
nothing seems to be right.
I did the accident, is it?
Whose stupid idea was it
to do a prank?
"This" guy.
Why are you dragging me into this?
I said lets do a prank.
I didnt ask you to overact
and hit somebody.
If not for your stupid idea,
this wouldn't have happened.
Shut the hell up and let her in.
- Netra?
- What? Did you call the hospital --
Netra?
Netra?
Hows she walking dude?
Didnt you say she has
a ligament tear in her leg?
Netra?

[INSPECTOR]
Hello. Whos this?
Hello, Mugilan sir, hello?
Who are you?
My name is Gautham.
I need to talk to Mugilan sir.
Gautham?
Hold on a second.
Call that guy
and ask him to get here now.
Hello, sir?
Just hold on sir.
Yeah, tell me.
Sir...hello sir.
I need to talk to Mugilan sir.
You won't pick up your phone, sir?
How many times do I have to call?
Sorry sir, my phone was on silent.
I really need to talk to him.
Please, sir.
Mugilan sir was discussing
about your case with me.
Sir?
Why with you, sir?
Dont worry. Only I know.
I called you for something important.
Why didnt you pick up sir?
Im really sorry sir.
My phone was on silent.
I badly need to talk to Mugilan sir.
Please sir.
Thats the reason I called you so many times.
Mugilan sir died in an accident.
What the fuck?
Hello!
Hello sir, are you there?
Sir, are you sure?
I just met him a while ago.
Yeah, youre right...
Its not even been an hour
since the accident.
The last person he spoke to was you.
How do you know him?
Hes my brother-in-laws close friend sir.
What happened, sir?
Remember we admitted your
hit-and-run victim to the hospital?
That girl succumbed to her injuries
and died a while ago.
- What?
- Doctors tried their best,
but couldn't save her.
After finishing the hospital formalities,
he was on the side-walk,
having tea.
An over-speeding car
that was crossing our lane,
dodged a dog that was on the road,
and hit him instead.
He died on the spot.
He was telling me youre prepared
to help the girl's family.
So, Ive mailed you the case file
and the related documents.
Just keep me in mind, sir.
This is a huge case.
Now, the girl has died too.
Im taking a huge risk for you.
Think and let me know.
Dude, ask him for help.
- Ask him to come here now.
- Sir, hello?
Sir, we need your help. Please help us.
My friends and I are stuck here.
Were in Anna Nagar Shanthi Colony,
4th main --
I told you right?
He died in an accident, sir.
Sir, please.
We really need your help.
- Hello, sir?
- I told you right? He died in an accident sir.
Cant you bloody listen to me?
Im telling you were stuck here!
Hello?
Dont yell, Gautham.
I told you right?
He died in an accident sir.
I told you right?
He died in an accident sir.
- I told you, right? He died in an accident.
- Gautham, what the hell?
[CHARU]
I bloody told you right?
I died in the accident!
Oh god!
Check your mail dude.
Dude! Check your mail!
What is it?
Show us also.
Gautham, whos that?
What?
Whos that?
Is this the girl
that died in the accident?
Bro
This is the girl I saw.
Where?
This is the guest who came home
with my brother-in-law.
What?
Hows this possible?
You said you took care of everything.
Now see!
Dude! What did I do?
All this,
its because of you.
You guys are the reason.
How the fuck is it our fault?
You, Madhu, Sibi, you guys did it!
I didnt do anything.
Dude!
Dont just throw away words Gautham.
You first shut up.
You instigated this,
and because of you this moron kept
pushing me to prank her,
and all this happened.
In fact, it wasnt me

Are you okay, Nithu?
Breathe.
Fuck! Fuck!
Sibi...
Leave him alone.
Give him some time.
Bro...
Ive made a big mistake.
What happened?
On my last birthday...
Madhus college friend Varsha came home.
To get something from me
DVD or pen drive. Not sure what.
You always knew that
she had a thing for me, right?
Even I was super drunk that day...
No! Dont tell me --
No! No!
We just...
We just made out.
Im not trying to justify what I did.
But...
I thought I heard my door opening that day.
But I didnt bother with it.
Ever since then...
Madhu started acting weird with me.
I asked her several times.
She didnt say anything.
All this is because of me.
Dude, stop. We need to figure out
how to escape from this.
We need to focus on that,
so please just stay with me.
Please.
Madhu...
[phone ringing]
Bro...
This is Madhus old landline number.
Sibi, no!
Hello Madhu!
- Sibi!
- Where are you?
- Stay there, Im coming.
- Sibi, no listen to me.
- Madhu, I love you. I love you so much.
- Sibi, listen. That's not Madhu!
Sibi, please listen to me.
Im so sorry for all that Ive put you through.
You be right there!
You be right there, I'm coming.
- Please listen to me Sibi.
- She died!
Look at the screen!
Madhu is dead! Look at the screen.
She's gone. Please listen.
You shut up and check properly.
She is not there.
Stay there, stay right there.
Im coming.
I love you.
I love you so much.
Please listen to us, Sibi!
I'm coming to you!
I'm coming to you.
Dude, no.
You stay right there.
Im coming to you.
Sibi, please listen to us...
We can't go out. If you can, it means
she wants you to come out.
Please Sibi, listen to me.
Dont go anywhere.
Im coming soon to you.
- I'm coming to you. Don't worry.
- Sibi, please listen to us...
- Please, Sibi.
- I love you, darling.
Listen to me, Sibi!
- I'm so sorry...Madhu.
- Sibi, please bro.
- I'm coming to you...
(car honking)
[crowd cluttering]
Sibi!
Brother, how's my friend?
Please check on him...
Sibi!
I told you not to go Sibi.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
Nithu...
Babe?
Remove Madhu from the call.
Give me one second.
Babe
Im really sorry...
Ive hurt you a lot...
Thanks for enduring all that.
- Why are you suddenly telling me this?
- No! Just...
Let me finish.
I justI just want you to know that...
I really love you. And...
If I have to spend the rest
of my life with someone...
It'll only be you.
Therestheres no one else.
Its alwaysits always you.
And
I really love you.
This is for you.
You had to tell me this now?
If not now, I dont know
if Ill get another chance.
Actually, I wanted to arrange a small party
and propose in front of everyone.
But uh
Netra...
Will you --
[projector playing]
What was that?
Madhu...Sibi...
Like you said,
next it's me, right?
No, Nithu.
(door knocking)
Nithu are you okay?
Nithu, talk to me, are you okay?
Please Nithu, tell me.
Are you okay?
[door knocking continues]
Fuck!
Hey Charu, come here. Im here.
You only want me, right?
Come get me.
Gautham please, keep quiet.
Nithu, just listen to me...
Im going to buy you some time.
You'll know when the time is right, just run!
Dont worry about anything.
Just run, okay?
Dont do anything.
Hey, Charu!
It's okay, Nithu.
Please, Nithu.
Run, Nithu!
Who are these guys?
Is this an original video?
(cluttered talking)
I know this Netra.
A similar accident has happened before.
That girls name is also Charu.
[number not reachable]
To all my fans. Our job here is not done.
If you have any information about them,
drop it in the comments.
If it's authentic,
youll get a brand-new iPhone.
Is this true?
Does anyone have
details of this accident?
What happened to the people in this video?
The photo of the girl in the movie
and the girl in this news are matching.
Ive opened a Justice for Charu
page on Instagram.
Follow that page.
Im sure she'll get justice.
Theres a page called Netra Army already?
Who are you guys?
Where do these sleeper cells come from?
If the accident really happened,
this video is like a confession, right?
Yeah, definitely.
What do you guys think?
Do you think the cops will
take this as a confession?
Guys one of our followers
has sent me a DM in Instagram.

An interesting video is going
to drop in very soon.
Hello and welcome to Cine Talk South.
First of all, thank you for
letting us use your space.
Dont worry, the cameraman will
put the place back the way it was.
Andlooks like one character is missing here.
Yeah, our heroine Netra is a little busy today.
So...
First of all,
how much of this was real?
Lets not say real.
How much did you plan?
Because looking at the incidents,
it just feels unbelievable.
No. Actually we planned
each and everything.
So, when you decide to make a film,
you wrote the entire script?
No, we already had a hit-and-run script.
We pitched that to a producer.
But that didnt go as planned.
So, my friends wanted to
take a break and go to Pondy.
It was on our way back,
we saw the accident.
Do you mean you actually saw it?
No, the accident had already
happened when we got there.
We wanted to help, but they had
already put her in an ambulance.
But we got her driving license
on the crime scene.
It was then we decided to link
this incident to our script.
We knew this was a bit risky and unethical.
But we knew if we linked
our script to a real-life incident,
we would get a better reach for our film.
- Yeah, definitely.
The same night we incorporated
the actual event into our script.
Sibi handled the camera.
Madhu did the makeup.
And Netra, as all of you know,
acted in the film.
We already raised funds on Patreon
to do a big-budget short film.
So, using that we shot the film
in five to six days.
Five to six days? Thats all?
Thats all we could afford.
We shot the entire film
using the Sync app itself.
The music director is our friend,
so he had the tracks and OSTs ready.
We shot day and night.
The catch is, if we delayed,
people would come to know about the incident,
and the story will become stale.
We had that risk factor.
Thats why we worked overtime
and completed the film.
I get all that,
but what about cops?
When theres an investigation going on,
didnt you feel this would disturb them?
Werent you afraid they might suspect you
and take you into custody?
What the use?
They caught him, locked him up,
and treated him like a "king" inside.
Lets discuss that off-camera.
Dude, come on!
They gave me a warning and let me go.
I think they had the CCTV footage
and toll information...
So, they knew we didnt do it.
So, by any chance did you see her?
Charulatha right? Did you meet her?
Yeah, uh
We went to the hospital
a few days ago. But --
I mean, we couldnt see her directly.
We saw her through the glass.
It was heartbreaking to see her like that.
But hopefully, if shes better,
well go see her soon.
Wait, nobody told you anything?
She passed away last night.
I thought you guys knew.
Oh wow!
Hi guys! Sorry for the delay.
I went to put my power bank on charge.
Hi bro.
The movie was great
Thank you!
Thank you so much.
Where is Netra?
Bro, Mahesh087...
Hi bro! were about to sign a film.
Once it gets official,
Ill update you immediately.
Made the mistake of watching
the movie alone. Sorry bro.
Hi bro, JackfruitSatish...
How do you come up with these names?
Once we sold the movie,
we gave half of the profit to that girls family.
Hey Madhu!
What are you doing here?
Where are you guys? Huh?
You moron...
Im starving here.
Come fast dude, please.
Friends, look!
Observe and learn
how to do useless pranks --
Dont learn actually.
Horrible behavior, both of them.
Nithu, you too?
Why are you guys doing this to me?
Im famished, please come quickly.
Dont open the --
(doorbell ringing)
Hmmm...
What?
Another elaborate plot, is it?
Your involvement is mesmerizing.
Will you make part two, bro?
No bro. Part one itself
drained us completely.
No way part two!
- Swiggy sir.
- Yes! Hmmm...
Yes, tell me.
My friends sent you, right?
Another Prank?
No sir. The order has been placed
from this location only.
What order?
Two chicken rolls, one Caesar salad,
and...two watermelon juice.
Bro...
This is the order I placed in my movie.
Come on, seriously?
No sir. The order has been placed
in the name of Charu from this same number.
Hmmm. This is called method acting.
Okay, give it here.
Sir?
What?
So, it wasnt you
who actually hit the girl?
Bro, that was an accident.
Based on that we did our film, thats all.
Youve made a big mistake sir.
What mistake?
The cops dont know who hit Charu.
In fact, nobody knows.
Why, even Charu doesnt know.
Now, youve taken that blame unnecessarily.
- Charu will surely come.
- Hmmm...
Bro, enough.
You can leave.
