(firecrackers exploding)
(woman) Hey, enough! That's enough. Stop it now.
(Harishchandra) Madam, actually--
An apartment with so many issues doesn't need a watchman like you.
- Madam... - You can go.
Go. Get going.
- Madam... - Don't spoil my festival.
Madam...
How dare he answer me back? Idiot!
Don't be upset, Dad.
We will find another job.
(sighs)
I am not worried about the job.
I am worried about the residents of this apartment.
(melancholic music)
In case you need something, call me.
- I will be there in no time. - Hmm.
(music continues)
Rishi!
Here's your puppy!
(starts crying) Mom...
Dad!
(watchman) Your lace is undone again. If you don't watch, you will fall.
- Ah! - (girl) Dad...
Dad...
(sobbing)
(emotional music)
(thunder rumbles)
Is your dad a police officer?
Yeah.
Can you talk to your dad and help get my dad out of jail?
My dad is a very good person.
My dad is not here.
Where is he?
I really want to help you,
but I lost my dad in the fire accident.
(title music)
- Hey, hey... - Hey, hey!
(huffs)
(playful music)
What are you doing here?
I heard you will be expelled tomorrow.
I came to say a final goodbye.
I am going to be expelled?
Who told you?
Everyone in class is talking about it.
Our class?
Hmph! Don't follow me again.
Don't even try to touch me.
Don't force me to complain against you.
What? You want to complain again?
You know how it feels to be framed for something you haven't done?
(bell rings)
(takes a deep breath)
No one knows it better than me.
Hey... wait!
(student 1) Hey, Rishi is late again to class.
(student 2) He is already in the bad books of Das sir.
(student 1) Gautam is also late. They are finished.
(student 2) Just finished.
Prepare well at least for the exams.
I heard the new girl is a topper.
Come and solve this problem.
(tense music)
- Hmm... - Hmm.
(Professor Das) Watch her.
Watch her and learn.
To get into IIT or IIM, this is how you have to study.
You can't even understand what you see.
Kids with proper upbringing study well like her.
Those who have no one to raise them, jump walls and break locks.
For someone like him, a college seat is a waste,
the oxygen he breathes is a waste,
a place in this world itself is a complete waste.
Hmph!
(melancholic music)
Why are you blaming him?
No matter who makes the mistake, this is how I react.
What makes you think he broke the lock?
There is CCTV footage.
That shows someone jumping over the wall. I agree.
But it doesn't show him entering the staff room, does it?
She has gone crazy. Why is she supporting you?
- (students murmuring) - (tsks)
(indistinct chatter)
Hey, shut up!
Oh! Logic?
If he is not the culprit, someone has to be, right?
Why don't you prove it?
Yeah, I will prove it, sir.
If you fail to prove it?
Your wish. I will do whatever you say.
You must leave the college.
If I prove it, will you apologise?
Will you apologise to everyone who you think is not worth this world?
(students cheering) Yay!
(student 1) Give back my cigarettes.
(Gautam) Give back my CDs.
- Return our mobiles. - (student 2) Give back our phones.
(bell rings)
(Professor Das) Shut up!
If anyone starts moving, I will break their legs!
Sit down!
The next maths class is your deadline.
(tense music)
A challenge? Seriously?
(whistles)
- Hey, stop... - Hmm?
- You like me, right? - Oh, God.
Confess it. It's okay.
Look, forget about liking you.
I don't even like helping you.
Then, I will help you myself.
Let us both catch the culprit who stole those test papers.
Hmm?
Even so, I would end up helping you.
(chuckles)
My name is Rishi.
Okay, okay.
Once we catch him, we will do it.
What?
Handshake.
Just three seconds. That's all.
- Disgusting. Damn. - Hey!
- He does seem to be a pervert. - Hello!
Hey...
- (bell rings) - Okay...
Megha! How was your first day in college?
Yeah. Nice, Aunty.
Nice? Okay. Sit down. Let me serve you food.
Hmm? Two minutes, okay?
(phone buzzes and rings)
Hi, dear. I hope everything is fine there.
Yes, Guruji.
Thank you for giving me a home to stay.
That... you owe to your sponsor.
For the past three years,
he's been sending money and taking care of me.
This time, along with college, he has sponsored my stay too.
How can I repay him?
Guruji, can I meet him once?
Uh, I am in Hyderabad anyway.
Each time you ask this, I pass on your message, dear.
He keeps avoiding it.
I will try to convince him this time
and ask him to meet you.
Okay, sir.
- Take care, dear. - Thank you. Bye.
Today I will find the guy who broke into the staff room.
(electrifying music)
(beeps, buzzes)
Why doesn't it open?
(comical music)
Oh, wait.
Hmm...
(gasps)
- Hey, what are you doing? - (gasps)
Hey!
Hey, why are you here?
When did you come? Is there anyone here?
(Megha) I showed up when you were kissing it romantically. Move!
Do you know now why I call you a pervert?
Hey, stop!
I thought girls were your only weakness.
- Move! - Huh?
(door screeches)
How do you know the code?
June 2nd, 2002.
College establishment date.
Hmm. But how did you know that was the passcode?
Hmm?
Put this to use.
(suspenseful music)
Hello?
(Devika) Hello, Raghav. I think I found something.
- Tell me. - Okay, listen.
Do you remember the nurse from Room 701 in Godavari Hospital?
That woman with the ring. Probably, it was her that Rishi saw.
Let's meet at the restaurant.
I will see you there.
(drawer screeches)
Hmm!
Nothing wrong in confiscating these from the students.
What is that?
- Hey... - Huh?
- Hey, stop! - Ah!
(electrifying music)
Hey!
What?
(stutters)
(tsks)
What if they broke the lock for something else and not the papers?
Huh?
What else could it be?
Maybe... for the cigarettes in the yellow pouch.
- Huh? - Yeah.
Is your brain located in your hand?
If I tell her I used psychometry, she might think I am nuts.
Sri Poornima. Age 56.
I am sure it was her whom Rishi saw.
She was on duty when the hospital caught fire.
But she has been missing since.
If she was on duty, she should have reported the fire.
Why is she missing?
Her apartment is close by. Wanna go check it out?
No.
I have to meet someone.
You go and check it out.
And call me if you find something.
Okay. (thinks) I can't take him on a date anyway.
I wanted to at least spend some time together this way.
(sighs)
One more.
What? Not done yet?
If you can't help me, why don't you go home and sleep?
That's because... my sugar levels have gone down a bit.
Hey... do you have a chocolate?
Don't annoy me. Go.
Maybe you find it okay to leave college. Not me.
I don't find it okay either.
Why are only these answer sheets here?
- Oh, no! - Hey, hey...
Ouch!
(Rishi) Hey...
(electrifying music)
3145...
Did you say 3145?
I think he has left.
Should we head out too?
Hey...
Huh?
You said it.
Not just me. I think you are also sleepy.
Without me even speaking, you are imagining things.
Anyway, let's go. Let's go.
(suspenseful music)
He said 3145.
I heard him say it.
How did he know?
(footsteps)
(tense music)
Shit!
(tense music continues)
Megha?
- Do you know me? - Yes.
Who are you?
Guruji told me you wanted to meet me.
That's why I am here.
Oh!
(Raghav) Sorry.
I chose an inconvenient time to meet you.
I'm sorry...
Did I scare you?
No... it was so sudden, and I thought it was a stranger.
It was just a sudden reaction.
Sorry.
You have been asking to meet me for long I heard.
Thought I'd come and say hi.
Anyway, I live next to you.
Jubilee Hills?
No. Literally next to you.
Why are you sponsoring me?
I mean... you can lead a happy life with that money.
Helping somebody study is a beautiful life.
(chuckles)
I wanted to meet you only to thank you.
But just thanks won't do.
I'll... repay every rupee for sure.
- I don't want money. - Then?
I just want you to be happy.
(chuckles)
Paying back money sounds easier.
(sentimental music)
You could have told me, man.
Okay, I will call you back.
Now that you're already home, you can come in, right?
Hmm.
Find out what I did today.
(sighs)
This same routine every day. How tiring.
(intriguing music)
(sighs)
You have a very strong mindset.
As usual, I could find nothing.
It means you need to concentrate more.
Not because I lack concentration.
Uh, what do you call it? Uh...
Because of the lack of... uh... nora...
- Noradrenaline. - Yes, because of that.
Yes, Mr. Raghav. That's right.
- How many times have I told you not to call me by my name? -Hey, hey...
- How many times? - Please, please...
- What? - I saw a girl.
(sighs)
I really saw a girl.
It's okay.
I saw something about you for the first time.
- Who is the girl? - Hmm. Okay.
- Tell me her name. - Hey...
Hey...
(Gautam) Yes, right!
I thought you would find out the killer like James Bond.
But you saw dead people's underwear sizes.
Hmm.
I hope this is not like the underwear matter.
- Hmm? - Just... I was asking for clarity.
I am telling you with clarity. It was a girl.
Oh!
Before class begins, we must catch her.
Hey... that's only half an hour away.
(chuckles)
Half a minute before that...
I will catch her.
Huh?
(glass shatters)
(fire alarm starts ringing)
One... two... three!
(music intensifies)
(intense music continues)
(intense music rises)
(gasps)
(groaning)
Hmm?
Hey... you were behind all this, weren't you?
You think I didn't know? Get up.
Thank you, sir.
Hello!
The more I cover for you in front of the Principal,
the more outrageous you become.
Now I will complain to the Principal myself.
I want to complain too.
Against whom?
Against you.
Me? For what?
For seizing cigarettes from students and smoking them.
Ah! Please, please! Rishi, please.
Don't tell anyone, please.
(intriguing music)
A pregnancy kit?
(suspenseful music)
Professor Das was also present that day?
They have done all this for that?
Thank you, sir! Thank you.
Hey, don't complain to the Principal against me.
- Then I reached very fast. - (student 2) Hey, stop it.
First, tell me how this colour is.
Hey, where is Meher?
Uh, Meher? She went out with the new girl.
So, Megha already knows about Meher.
(panting)
Meher, don't worry about anything.
I won't tell anyone about the pregnancy.
You leave. I will take care of it.
I am sorry, Megha.
Rishi and you are facing this because of me.
(pants)
Hey, where is Meher? Isn't she with you?
She left.
Oh! Not bad.
She left before they could send her away. Come!
What do you know about Meher?
How did you know about her?
Meher told me everything.
Oh!
Then, let's go. Let's clarify everything before class begins.
- Come! - Wait, Rishi.
Don't tell Professor Das about her.
Huh? What?
If you tell him she was in the staff room,
you will also have to tell him why she was there.
So? Is it okay for us to get expelled from college?
It is okay.
- (tsks) Hey... - One minute.
Everyone has secrets in their life.
But some secrets are to be protected more than life.
You may not understand this.
Get ready to leave college. Okay?
- (Das clears throat) - Class has started. Sir is here.
Let's go, let's go.
Megha, you wanted to become an IPS officer to protect your dad, right?
But your father is a criminal who is in the central jail.
Harishchandra.
A lecturer who leaks question papers is also called a criminal.
You even sold it to five students.
What?
5 answer sheets with the right options marked were in your drawer.
Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!
Nonsense?
Shall I tell you the names on the answer sheets?
Huh?
So...
I asked you to identify the culprit.
Instead, you sneak into the staffroom,
open my locker and make another mistake?
- Rishi's locker... - Sir, sir, sir...
He is the one who went into the staff room, sir.
- Tell him. - Yes, sir. It was me.
I went to get my CDs, sir.
I found the papers there.
Do you have a problem?
(upbeat music)
Hey, look!
The math lecturer leaked the paper. Not Rishi.
(music continues)
Sir...
(music continues)
(Ram Reddy) He has ruined our college's reputation.
We should fire him immediately.
- Hi, Raghav! - Hi, Ra... This guy?
What is he doing here?
Hey, are you coming back from work or heading to work?
I am going to my office. I won't be home tonight.
Hey, is it a new case? Can I come along?
Hey, you know what...
I solved a case in college today like Sherlock Holmes.
(giggles)
Is that why they called me?
Did you get a call from college?
Forget it.
Why don't you give me at least one chance to help you?
(Raghav tsks)
I know you really want to help me.
But you have no idea how much I am helping you.
Your psychometry skills are still very immature.
Psychometry?
Your skills may find the gun
but not the guy who pulled the trigger.
Out of a hundred pieces needed to solve a puzzle,
you only have one.
Don't get overconfident about it.
(suspenseful music)
- Damn! - (yelps)
Who is there?
Shit! Shit!
Megha?
What are you doing here?
We moved here two days ago.
Uh... (clears throat)
Honestly, I wasn't eavesdropping.
But whatever I heard, I didn't understand it at all.
It doesn't matter.
Because it is not true.
Rishi... Rishi!
Do you really have psychometric abilities?
So, that's how you knew about Meher.
And you did say 3145, didn't you?
Is that why you had asked me for a handshake that day?
Do I look crazy?
As long as you don't touch me,
it doesn't matter what you think.
What if I touch you?
When you touch someone, can you find their secrets?
Secrets...
Ah!
That reminds me.
You were right.
Everyone has their own secrets.
But some secrets are to be protected more than life.
I won't try to find your secrets.
Don't try to find mine.
3145 is my dad's prisoner number in jail.
Hmm? What?
You are not crazy, Rishi.
And I want to know certain things about myself.
- (Aunt) Megha, where are you? - Coming!
Rishi, let's meet at the bus stop tomorrow morning.
- I have to go now. - Hey...
- I will see you tomorrow. - No!
Wait right there. I will meet you.
- Good night. - Hey...
Hey! I...
If Rishi uses psychometry, can we find out the real culprit?
Megha, what happened?
Megha...
What if we find someone who can prove that Dad is innocent?
(tsks) It's been ten years, Megha.
It makes no difference now.
Why do you say that?
I can confidently say my dad is not a criminal.
I can stay where I am without the need to run.
I can live without having to pretend.
(gasps) What if your dad did do it?
(brooding music)
(tsks)
No. My dad certainly didn't do it. My dad is a good soul.
An ex-fireman would extinguish the fire and save people caught in it.
Why would he kill people and start a fire?
Who knows what runs in others' minds.
If your dad was the real culprit, can you face the truth?
(melancholic music)
(chair screeches)
(whistling)
Hi. Good morning.
I don't want to know anything.
Huh?
Why is there a difference in her reaction?
Hello! Oi!
My sugar levels were high yesterday, so I spoke that way.
I am normal now. Forget what I said yesterday.
So, is 3145 your dad's prisoner number?
Is he the man who was framed?
Is it about him that you wanted to know?
No.
I don't want to know about anyone.
In fact, I don't want anyone in this world to know about him.
Psychometry is your secret.
Mine is my dad.
Do you get it?
Hmm?
I have been waiting since last night. The nurse never turned up.
What about the house owner?
He has absolutely no idea.
She has been here for three years, but he hasn't seen her even once.
She pays the rent online.
No one at the hospital knows her.
Until three years ago, she was with credit card services.
Suddenly, she became a nurse.
No one knows more than that.
So, we are looking for a ghost.
That's my feeling too.
What do you want to do?
We can file a missing case.
We can re-examine the witness.
Madam, please take care of her.
- Sure, sir. Don't worry. - Thank you, madam.
(suspenseful music)
(phone rings)
Sir, please tell me.
- Can you see me at my office? - Sure, sir.
- I will meet you in the evening. - Okay.
- Come. - Hmm.
(suspenseful music)
(music intensifies)
(tyre pops)
(air hissing out of tyre)
(brakes screeching)
(thrilling music)
(thrilling music rises)
(Raghav) How are your studies going?
- Is everything fine in college? - (Megha) Yeah.
(sighs) Thanks.
For sponsoring me despite knowing everything.
Do you think your dad is a culprit?
(melancholic music)
Good night.
(phone rings)
Hello...
What?
How?
I am coming.
(eerie music)
(door slams)
(footsteps approach)
(camera shutter clicks)
When did this happen?
We got a call at our PS at 7:30 about a dead body in the factory.
The last call was made to you, sir.
They must have killed him on his way to us.
(suspenseful music)
Did you check the second number?
Yeah, but no one is picking up.
(camera clicks)
This chain is only one foot long. Doesn't that look odd?
Why did they have to chain him after stabbing him to death?
(eerie musical sting)
If they were removing it, they could have removed the whole thing.
Why did they cut it in half? So weird.
(metal clanks)
I think I missed something.
I'll see you back at the office.
(eerie musical sting)
(camera clicks)
(car engine starts)
(engine revving)
(suspenseful music)
(murmuring)
(student 1) Hey, it's her, right?
(student 1) So, this is why she was removed from her previous college.
(student 2) If my family hears this, they may not even send me to college.
MEGHA'S FATHER IS A MASS MURDERER
(student 2) The very sound of mass murder scares me to death.
(student 3) Yes, you are right. She was showing off all these days.
Her father is a big criminal.
He is in jail for murder.
(student 1) Better to stay away from her.
(sobs)
Hey, come. Hey, move, move!
Uh, look there.
(electrifying music)
(Das) You ruined my life, didn't you?
I will see how you will live in dignity.
(upbeat music)
(sprays)
You have seen enough. Get away from here.
Hey, move!
You've seen enough. Now, leave.
Hey, what are you watching? Get going.
Damn!
Ah...
(intense music)
(Rishi) Megha...
Megha!
(electrifying musical sting)
When I am ready for your psychometry,
I will come looking for you.
(sobbing)
Bye, Rishi.
Take care.
(door bursts open)
(melancholic music)
(Megha) Your secret is psychometry. Mine is my dad.
Everyone has their own secrets.
But some secrets are to be protected more than life.
(melancholic music)
(car honks)
(Devika) Raghav, what happened?
We must reinvestigate the Godavari Hospital fire case from scratch.
What?
We shouldn't be looking for...
the woman with the ring but the killer who used the chain.
What?
Yeah.
It wasn't Sri Poornima who fled the hospital.
Then?
It was Kabir's killer.
It was the arsonist.
More importantly, ten years ago...
the guy who escaped from Maruthi Apartments fire.
(music intensifies)
