Do you know
Sankasur's real name?
Hayagriv.
A long long time ago,
there lived a demon named Hayagriv.
You know, what he did?
He stole the 4 vedas from Lord Vishnu
and hid in a Shankh (Conch), deep in the sea.
He hid in a conch, so he's called...
Sankasur!
- Yes, - Then what happened?
To retrieve the stolen vedas,
Lord Vishnu assumed the first form of his 10 incarnations.
Which one?
Matsya Avtar (Fish)
Correct.
Then Lord Vishnu entered the sea
and slayed Sankasur.
Thus, Lord Brahma got back the four vedas.
Come here.
Sit down.
Do you know
why Sankasur stole the four vedas?
Why?
Because he wanted to bring
that wisdom to people like us from this realm.
How considerate of him!
Indeed.
Hence, he's a god to us even if he was a demon.
We worship him.
During Shimga,
prayers are first offered to Sankasur then to god.
Understood?
Yes.
Don't you ever forget it.
Let me get the prayer tray.
Hey rug rat, why waste water?
Do you have a reservoir?
Is your mother home?
We need a little favour. Is she home?
Mom is busy.
We're waiting for Sankasur.
- Babdya, - Hmm.
even the likes of them carry the palanquin now.
- Hemya, - Yes.
his father isn't home.
Let's barge in.
- Sure. - Let's go.
Wait.
Look,
here comes the drunk!
He can barely walk straight.
Should I give your father alcohol?
If we do that
do you know what he'll give us? Your mom...
Wow!
How lovely she looks?
Here she comes, the beautiful one.
What we should do now?
For god's sake, move aside, come on!
Start.
- Here he comes - Sume! Sume!
Don't hit me, don't hit me.
Sume!
- No... - Stop!
You'll kill him.
Don't...
- I made a mistake. - Come here.
Sume!
Take blessing, go.
Careful.
Go easy.
Get it out gently.
Who is it?
Careful.
Bring it here.
- Rajan bhau! - Rajan bhau!
- Why Rajan bhau? - Rajan bhau has been punish.
Hello Dhumal, what's happening?
Sir, they are removing the body?
What?
Every year, they remove body?
Hello...
- Dhumal, come! - I was calling you, sir.
Move aside.
You were warned, PI sir.
Don't meddle with our religious affairs.
So?
Should I forsake my duty
and stand here meekly?
Let me do my job.
You've done enough.
You couldn't stop Sankasur and this human sacrifice.
Really?
This is murder, not sacrifice.
I'll fill you in after the investigation.
Well, sir,
what exactly will you investigate?
Shouldn't we investigate this murder?
What for?
I mean, sir, this is not murder.
Sankasur did this.
He leaves no traces.
It's happening from so many years.
- That's it. - Right.
No, that's not it.
Sir is right.
This is uncanny.
Why Rajan?
Nothing is uncanny, Mhadik.
This was bound to happen.
We must finish the rituals.
Yes.
I agree.
What will the cops do anyway?
This is god's will.
Well, sir, you see
we believe in such things.
But I don't.
But why Rajan bhau?
What do you mean?
Who knows what sin he committed.
Rajan bhau and sin?
He was a noble soul.
Ganya,
are you doubting Sankasur's ways?
Everything about this is dubious.
Shindya...
I'll whack you.
Don't act too smart.
Nilya, don't get angry.
See what happened.
A noble soul like Rajan died
and you feel nothing about it!
Mhadik, this is too much.
It's not our place to doubt god's ways.
We think this is god's doing
but what if someone else is the culprit?
Uncle Mhadik,
nobody got caught in 15 years.
What if we find a culprit?
It could be a human.
God also incarnates in human form.
Bhide,
seal the spot and take the body along.
What do you mean?
How can you take the body?
Sir, we won't allow you...
The village has rules...
Hey...
Listen...
We're just asking...
Hey...
Bhide,
arrest anyone
who touches the body.
God won't forgive you.
You see, sir,
god doesn't bow down to authority.
Take the body.
Rajan!
Now
you shall carry the palanquin,
forever.
He's the local artist who plays Sankasur.
What's the name of the deceased?
Rajan Nimkar.
His family?
His father Vishwanath Nimkar
and Rajan's wife Sarika Nimkar.
Let's go.
- Open the door, tai. - Tai!
Open the door, tai.
- Tai... - Check the back door.
- Go and check the back door. - Tai, open the door.
Open the door now, its enough.
Open the door.
By locking yourself from inside, is not the right way.
Tai...
- Move side, what happened? - Sir...
Sir, she's locked herself inside.
She's not opening the door.
Please help.
- Bhide, check the back door. - Come, Kamble.
Come on.
Have you no sense?
People are panicking outside.
You locked the door.
Bloody hell!
Because of you...
Yes.
Too much time on your hands to kill?
What happened?
Say something.
Sorry, I called by mistake, Anna.
You never call your father by mistake.
See you tonight.
Why aren't they handing the body to us?
This is injustice and we must protest.
He's right.
The police can't do injustice.
Hello, sir.
The villagers want to cremate the body today.
It has to be done today.
Please finish the procedures quickly to placate the villagers.
Sir!
Give us the body.
Don't test our patience.
What if something wayward happens?
Let Sankasur handle this.
You stay out of this.
Sir, this way.
What is this situation? What's this?
It is what it is.
Horrible!
Hi, Roshan.
What's the status?
Murder.
His back has marks of whiplash and
he was hit on the head with a heavy object.
The white hair you found
surprisingly belong to some animal.
Animal?
Wonder which animal led him in the water!
That's all for now.
We must take the body to Mumbai.
Roshan!
C'mon, Vishwas!
Look at this place.
This is all I can say in this set up.
The body must be taken to Mumbai for a detailed report.
Bhide, arrange for an ambulance.
But, sir, the villagers...
Get off my back!
- Arrange for an ambulance. - Sir.
Roshan, give me a lead.
I have to finish this case soon.
Coming here was a huge mistake.
Looks like you're done with Kokan!
I'm screwed.
Give me some lead.
Relax.
Start with this.
It was stuck in his hand.
Chain?
Thanks.
All the best.
I should be saying that to you.
Get off my back.
Follow this lead.
But, sir, this could be Rajan's chain.
It could be someone else's too.
Check with jewellery stores.
Get details of the buyer.
I suggest you send someone to town to investigate.
- I'll send Ketkar. - Do that.
Tell me about the registered cases.
Give me the details.
Sir, initial cases were registered after an investigation.
After that, all were accidental deaths
due to drowning.
Wow! Nice!
I want the list on the board with every single detail.
Yes, sir.
We couldn't speak to the victim's family.
- Yes. - You left without a word.
Sir?
Let's get to work.
Not done.
Look at the time.
Sir!
Sir, please hand the body to us.
Sir, you'll land the villagers in a huge mess.
I mean,
you can slap a youth leader
but you can't change divine laws.
Understood?
Sir...
Sir, heed me.
You slapped me yesterday
but I kept quiet.
I did, right?
You see,
do what you will,
you can't change the law of nature.
- Right? - Yes.
Am I right?
You see, sir,
you have no idea
what all has happened in this village
before your posting.
If god unleashes his wrath,
let alone you,
your family will also suffer...
Sir, don't hit.
Sir...
The police can't do injustice.
No idea.
The police can't do injustice.
This village's honour is at stake.
They are not handing over the body to us.
What do you want now, PI sir?
We found a chain on Rajan's body.
It belongs to Rameshwar Mhadik.
Sir,
the father is Rameshwar Mhadik
and that's his son Shankar Mhadik.
Is this your chain?
Yes, sir.
I gifted that chain to my son.
Sir, it had a locket of Ganpati.
I'm sure he sold it.
No, Anna...
Anna, the locket was there.
Believe me...
Sir, the locket was there...
You have to come to the police station.
Bhide, take him.
No, sir. I'm innocent.
- Let's go. - I swear on god.
- Listen to me... - Keep walking.
Sir, he's innocent.
You got the wrong man.
This is Sankasur's doing.
I know that.
- Sir, at least look at the tradition. - Sir, this is not right.
This is Sankasur's doing.
