Devi.
That isn't a mixture of milk and dye.
That's your husband's blood.
Devi.
What's wrong?
Devi.
Devi?
What are you waiting for? Let's go inside.
You too. Come.
(ululating continues)
Rudra.
Stop drinking.
At least for today.
Please stop.
Don't f**king lecture me.
Stop the car.
Why?
-I want to pee. -What?
Here on the road?
Your new bride is in the car.
We're almost home. Just wait a little.
Stop the car! I have to pee!
Are you deaf or what?
-Pull over. -Hurry up!
Hey! Stop here!
You're looking lovely.
(song playing)
-No... Not me. -Come on, Devi.
Come on, dance!
Come on! It's your wedding!
-Join us. -Let's dance together.
(singing)
The groom's family is here!
-Groom's family is here. -Let's go.
-Bye. -Let's go.
(song continues)
Are we doing the right thing?
What do you mean?
We know why this wedding was fixed between Rudra and Devi.
Shouldn't we tell Devi about it?
Hush! Not a word to her.
How long can we keep her around?
But we know how Rittika died--
Shut up! Don't say another word.
Keep quiet.
You know everything.
Let things play out the way they are.
And remember, even walls have ears.
-Tani. -Yes, ma'am?
-Bring the wedding gifts. -Okay.
Ajitesh, Kirti. Come inside.
Welcome.
Maya, call uncle and aunty.
The groom's family is here for the turmeric ceremony.
-Devi. -Hmm?
Are you scared?
Scared?
Why should I be scared?
Don't play dumb.
You know why Rudra is marrying you.
-You know how Rittika-- -Maya!
Did you call uncle and aunty?
The groom's family is here.
(song playing)
THE OMINOUS NIGHT
Who is it?
Who's--
Maya?
Why weren't you answering me?
I was wondering who's knocking.
Who did you think it was? Chirag?
Maya!
Sorry.
How can Chirag be here? He's dead.
I completely forgot.
You and your would-be husband have a lot in common.
Don't you get it?
Your ex-husband is dead and his ex-wife is dead.
Chirag wasn't my husband, Maya.
-We weren't married. -It's all the same.
Half-husband.
Boyfriend. Lover.
Why are you here?
I have some news.
What news?
Not exactly news. Call it a prediction.
And you know very well...
Maya's predictions always come true.
Hey! Want to hear my latest prediction?
W-What is it?
The day after your wedding...
your husband will die.
On "kaalratri", the night of separation.
No one will be able to save him.
M-Maya...
(ululating)
(indistinct chatter)
Get out!
-No! Let me go! -I will finish you!
-How dare you? -No! I won't go.
-No! -Get out!
-I haven't done anything. -I'll teach you a lesson.
Hey!
What happened? Feeling sick?
I was...
I was feeling d-dizzy...
Done?
Can we go inside?
Can you walk?
Hmm.
I don't think she can.
Tell you what, Ajitesh.
Carry her inside.
(indistinct chatter)
(ululating)
Let me see.
Wow!
You look gorgeous, Rai.
Stop it, Rudra.
Everything we got, we share, without shame nor care.
Behave yourself, Rudra!
It's my father!
Behave yourself, Rudra.
Don't get angry.
We were just playing a little game.
Ajitesh touched my wife just now.
I couldn't help but...
return the favour.
Now we're even.
Shivani.
Take Devi upstairs.
And Rudra...
Rudra!
Meet me in my study.
(ululating)
Come in.
Get out!
Leave!
Get out of here!
Go away!
What's wrong?
What are you waiting for?
Come on!
What?
Looks familiar?
Have you really forgotten everything or are you just pretending?
What?
I don't know what you're talking about.
-You don't know? -No...
You don't have any clue, huh?
Drop the act!
I warned you last time.
This time, I will kill you.
-Kill me? -Shivani!
Shivani?
There you go...
Dogs always sniff out the bone.
Careful, Devi.
Be very careful.
What is it?
What brings you here?
Or should I ask 'who'?
What?
I know men very well, Vijay.
I know what your intentions are.
Rai is looking for you.
You're drunk. Even today?
And what was that with Rai?
-I told you-- -Stop it.
Don't say another word.
Shut your mouth.
Ajitesh isn't one to touch someone else's wife.
And you?
What about you?
Just because I touched Rai, you got jealous--
-Came to have a chat. -Hmm?
You're not busy, right?
No. Why should I be busy?
Pretty girls tend to get busy. I know that.
Well, I'm Sneha.
I'm your husband's cousin.
I already know your name.
Devi.
I will call you by your name.
-Not "sister-in-law". -Hmm.
I have a complaint against you.
What complaint?
Why are you so pretty?
Take a shower.
He's an adult. How could you slap him?
How dare you question me?
I'm not questioning you. I'm warning you.
Rudra is very hot-tempered.
-Someday he will retaliate... -Huh!
He will never have the guts.
He knows very well that I can do anything for my sons.
But if needed...
I can even kill them.
Listen.
Your sons still respect you.
Don't belittle yourself in front of them.
What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
In the past...
even the most lecherous men had basic sense.
They'd go to their farmhouses.
Or brothels.
-But you do it in your own house-- -Shut up!
Just shut up.
One more word and I'll...
I'll rip your tongue out.
Sneha.
Can you do me a favour?
Of course. What's with the formality?
Actually, my friends were supposed to come with me.
I mean, in the car behind ours.
They're here. Waiting downstairs.
My friend, Maya, must be there.
-Tell her-- -Okay!
I will bring her up right now.
You must be really bored all alone.
You don't know anybody here.
Wait. I'll get her right now.
-Sneha. -Yes?
Can I ask you something?
I don't know who else to ask.
Go ahead. No need to hesitate.
Go on.
How did Rittika die?
You...
You knew her?
Um...
No.
When your uncle came to us with the marriage proposal
that's when I came to know that she recently died.
I see.
Okay. I'll call your friends here.
You didn't answer me.
How did Rittika die?
Umm... Rittika...
It was a head injury.
Happened in the washroom.
-She slipped. -Sneha!
Who is it?
Father.
Do you need anything?
-Kirti? -Hmm.
Where's Rai?
You can tell me.
Do you need anything?
Are you feeling unwell?
-Headache? -No--
Can I give you a massage?
I don't need anything. You can go.
Send Rai here. You may leave.
Send Rai.
I can do it, Father.
-I can do everything. -Hmm?
Everything.
Give me a chance.
Just one chance.
I'll do anything you want.
Just give me one chance.
I'll do it better than Rai.
-Hands off. -Just one chance.
-I can run the business too. -I said hands off.
-Just one chance. -Let go of me.
-Please. -Go!
Leave.
Get out!
Devi.
Are you crying?
Why?
I can't figure out anything, Maya.
What you said before my wedding...
Should I tell everyone?
What?
What will you say?
That Rudra will die tonight?
Hmm.
I should tell everyone, right?
You're so stupid, Devi.
You think they'll believe you?
They will laugh at you. Call you crazy.
-But... -But what?
What if my prediction comes true?
You know it will. What then?
What will happen to you?
Everyone will suspect you, Devi.
I will tell them that you foresaw it.
I will deny everything.
-You will lie, Maya? -Yes, I will.
I will.
You can't prevent the inevitable.
You never could. Not then, not now.
Rudra will die.
Tonight.
Be prepared, Devi, be prepared.
Rudra.
Rudra?
Rudra!
