Kashinath?
Why did you call me here, Kashinath?
Where is he?
Kashinath!
Kashinath?
Hemchandra.
Kashinath?
(song playing)
Sister-in-law!
Where are you? Come out!
Sister-in-law!
I know your ghost is killing us all!
I will burn this house down!
Sir!
Who are you talking to, sir?
No one's home.
They all left a week ago.
Sister-in-law hasn't left.
She will leave only if this house is burned down.
Sister-in-law? You mean the lady of the house?
That's right!
Rajshekhar's new bride.
Her ghost is killing everyone.
That b***h!
Her ghost? She is very much alive.
She left with the master.
I saw them leave.
She's alive?
THE NIGHT CALLS
Panna!
Panna?
Madam's friend!
Panna!
Madam's friend!
You recognised me?
Madam's friend! Madam is calling you.
Is she now?
Come quick. She won't come down without you.
Hurry!
(indistinct chatter)
Move, move.
Why did you stop?
You should go alone.
I knew it.
Leave the saree here before you go.
You want it right now, you wretch?
I said I'll give it to you after the ceremony.
Did I say I want it now?
An artist is coming from Kolkata.
I'll have my portrait painted in that saree.
Drop dead in my saree, you wicked girl.
Will you be able to live without me?
You'll die too.
Come on.
Silly girl.
Come, Panna.
Look at Rajshekhar.
Hmm.
(indistinct chatter)
Welcome, Guru.
-He's here. -The maestro is here.
-Welcome. -He's here.
Sir.
You couldn't come to the wedding reception.
So, we arranged this event just for you.
This is my son, Rajshekhar.
Please bless him, Guru.
Bless me, Guru.
May you live long.
Stay blessed.
Guru.
-Have a seat. -Hmm.
Take your seats.
Sit down.
Where is Nishi?
Hey, call the new bride.
Let's go.
Build your home with wisdom and love, dear.
But don't lose yourself amidst household responsibilities.
God bless you.
-Guru. -Yes?
With your blessings, my son has become a great singer.
At the end of every Durga Festival, they put up a performance.
Many renowned people attend this event.
Let's hear it then.
(singing)
Now you sing, my dear.
(singing)
Exceptional.
Rajshekhar.
You have an excellent voice.
I will remember your voice for a long time.
But my dear Nishi here...
She sings with her soul, not just her voice.
She is far more gifted than you.
Don't confine her to household duties.
Let her continue singing.
Nishi.
I will attend the event after the Durga festival.
And I want you to sing.
After that? What did your husband do?
I won't say anymore.
Have I no shame?
Oh my!
Feeling shy around me?
You know what?
He is a good man.
He has told me to practice daily from now on.
So that I'm perfect in front of the guru.
They are not inviting any outsiders this time.
-Really? -Only his six friends.
Wow!
So that I don't feel scared.
You just sit next to me. That's all.
I don't think I'll be able to make it.
What?
My father wants to send me to Kolkata for higher studies.
Oh gosh! How could he say that?
Women who study so much die young.
No more books for you.
And no going to Kolkata either.
Get out of your four walls and go to Kolkata once.
So many books!
And in so many languages.
Words of wise people.
Boys and girls study together.
-Really? -Hmm.
There's a huge library.
Too many books to read even in a lifetime.
Why do something that can't be finished in a lifetime?
Don't laugh.
I'll find you a husband in this very village.
I will marry a nationalist revolutionary.
I see dreams in their eyes.
Together, we will teach people the value of freedom.
Stop it.
Asking for freedom means death.
And a foreign rule is worse than death.
Madam's friend!
-Here's your tamarind paste. -Thank you.
Why did you get this poison, you little devil?
Your friend asked for it.
Didn't I tell you to bring it secretly?
You wretch!
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
You don't rehearse one bit. And you want tamarind on top of that?
If I have to sing, it'll be in another life.
You little! Give it to me.
-Give it to me! -I won't.
-Give me the tamarind. -I won't.
Give me the tamarind!
-I won't give it to you! -Stop running!
Hey! Give it to me!
Madam's friend...
Do you remember the event after the Durga Festival that year?
Yes.
Bow down to the goddess.
Friend!
Hey, there's no need to cry now.
Tagore sent a tanpura for you.
And he called you his favourite singer.
You should be overjoyed, but look at you.
He's not coming. He won't hear me sing.
But he has promised to come next year.
But you must follow his orders and sing today.
I can't sing.
-Don't be like that, dear. -I can't sing...
You can do it.
You can. Hush now.
(singing)
Madam's friend!
You know...
Right here in front of this well, they had said...
that they will burn down madam's house.
I heard it myself.
I don't believe in ghosts.
Only sister-in-law could have done this.
Hemchandra.
Let's flee the village tonight.
Why?
Why should I leave my home, my family?
That too, in fear of a woman?
After Mahendra's death, when Rajshekhar left that house...
I'd told him to burn it down.
As long as the Ghoshal Mansion stands that witch will also be there.
Tonight, we will burn that house.
Let's go.
You know...
I prayed and prayed...
so that they fail to burn down her house.
Otherwise...
you would have no place to return to.
Ever since I lost you and her
I haven't slept a wink.
Let me sleep a little.
Sleep...
Sleep soundly, Panna.
I am here now.
I'm telling you...
-Titli! Titli! -Titli!
-Titli!
Titli!
Check over there.
-Titli! -Titli!
Titli!
-Let's check this way. -Sure she came here?
Come this way.
-Titli! -Titli!
Titli!
Let's check that way.
-Can you hear us? -Titli!
-Titli!
Titli!
Doesn't seem like she's here.
There she is!
Titli?
Titli...
Why did you go to the jungle?
Did that old woman force you to go?
Was anyone else with her?
Any of the locals?
I hope she didn't feed you anything.
She is the killer.
Did she say anything to you?
I need to call for backup from the head office.
There have been murders...
Accidental deaths...
It's getting out of hand.
But first, I need to get you out of here immediately.
No.
Hmm?
No one is going anywhere.
Instead of asking any more questions...
can you guys help me with something?
Can I expect this much from my closest friends?
Just say the word
and we'll do it.
Were you talking about this box?
Tomorrow, we'll celebrate the end of the Durga Festival here.
And one person must be present.
