Why did you come here?

Huh...? Why?

You've made a grave blunder coming here.

She won't let go of you at all.

You are dead meat!

Why... why did you come, huh?

Hey!

Let's go.

- Come, da.

- I'm scared, bigboss.

- What's wrong with you?

- I swear I'm petrified.

In the college hostel

we have CCTV cameras in every corner

I've got scot-free even there

This run-down hostel is a cakewalk.

Just follow me.

- Come.

- Bigboss.

Let this be a run-down hostel

the way you describe it.

There aren't any CCTV cameras here,

I agree.

But that Sathappan

is worse than a scent hound.

If he catches us, he will snitch

to our Father immediately.

No need, bigboss.

Selling salt to the sea, huh?

All of you paint Sathappan to be

a man who will make us pee in our pants.

Sathappan is my slave now

I bribed him with a lump sum

Auctioned him to our side.

He isn't a sniffer dog

He's my pet dog.

- Got it?

- Bigboss.

You've gone up to IPL range!

- You are something else.

- Just follow me.

Come on.

Come, get in... fast.

Such a relief!

Shall we begin what we came for?

- Here read.

- Cha!

Read it, dude.

Bigboss, nowadays I believe

if we just click a button.

Porn stars Johnny Sins and Mia Khalifa

will come right into our bedroom.

Instead of opting for that.

Old style What's in a book?

You won't understand all that.

A visual will influence you to copy.

Whereas a book will

bring out your creativity.

The kick you get from a book

you won't even enjoy in bed!

- Go on, read.

- I'll copy it seems!

'Kumarimuthu and Jalaja'

Hands of the clock.

Moved to 12 midnight.

Wearing a transpaaaarent nighty

with her body revealed sensuously.

Tiptoeing without the tinkle

of her anklets being heard.

Jalaja walks softly like a cat.

She goes to Kumarimuthu's room.

She knocks on his door-

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Go... open the door

See who is outside.

- No one, bigboss.

- Let's resume our job

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

Aiyaiyo!

Wait, man.

Yov! Sathappa... you, huh?

Is this the time to fool around?

What's up with you?

Clueless about my mood!

Shall we begin?

Father... Father!

'Father, please forgive me'

'Father, I'm so sorry

I beg of you, forgive me'

'Forgive me, Father'

Forgive them just this once.

Please, Father.

You think what they did is pardonable?

- 'Hey Sathappa'

- Father?

- Show that disgusting stuff.

- Take a look.

'Kumarimuthu screws Jalaja'

Sathappa!

Title of the book.

- Sorry, Father.

- All yours.

Cha! Why did you stoop so low?

- No, pa.

- Moron!

Listen, I'm an ex-service man

I've held a gun in my hand for 20 years.

'And protected our border'

Whether I'm in the border or in the hostel.

This alone won't change.

Discipline!

Even an illiterate idiot

can succeed in life.

But a man with no morals

can't take a single step forward.

It's a divine place.

All the students in this sacred place

are like my own children.

Yes, he isn't father in name only

He is Father to this whole community.

Sathappa!

Like a father to everyone.

Sorry, Father.

They should learn from

the final year students.

You know how I've instilled

discipline into them.

Studies.

Their world is only academics!

They don't know anything

but their books and pens.

One rotten mango can

ruin a whole bag of ripe mangoes.

If I retain them here any longer

they will be a bad influence.

Please take them home.

- Father.

- Sorry, I have to go for my prayers.

'Father... Father'

He doesn't know Tamil

- I was translati-

- SHUT UP!

THIS IS MY HOSTEL!

Nothing can happen here

without my knowledge.

No one can fool me.

Excuse me!

To save your precious time.

Transfer Certificates

are at the college counter.

Collect it on your way out.

- Let God bless you.

- I'll talk to the Principal, sir.

Be my guest.

Meet the Principal.

As far as discipline is concerned.

Not just our Principal.

Even if you go to the Prime Minister

my word is law 100%.

- Sathappa?

- 'Father'

Please show them the way.

He wants you to leave the room

Along with your ward, please go.

What is the point in bowing

your head in shame now?

Use force.

Don't hit him on the back

Knock him on his head.

Wait till we reach home

You'll get it from me.

'Cigarette, huh?'

'Knock him flat

till you reach home'

Father, you meted out

a well deserved punishment.

- Sathappa.

- 'Yes, Father'

Upcoming Inter-collegiate

Cultural event.

We've got new guidelines.

Pin it up on the Notice board.

Father, I can't bear

Kadhir gang's nuisance.

He's creating a ruckus

along with all the boys.

He claims he's singing and

he shrieks like a banshee.

If I pull him up, he says

he's practicing for the Cultural event.

Sathappa, cultural events are

as important as studies.

Aiyo! Father!!

You trust those boys too much.

'Do you know what they are up to?'

Sathappa.

You always go on

a maligning spree

I've told you more than 1000 times

Don't come to me without proper proof.

'Day after tomorrow is Gandhi's birthday

They will hoard booze tomorrow for sure'

Father, only 1 day

Let's check tomorrow.

They will definitely get caught.

'Give it some thought'

You call this an intro scene?

Who the hell thought of this?

How long will you wash in high speed?

Don't we need to wash too?

This damn stain is stuck

to my pant like glue.

You should have thought of it

before you tore it to tatters.

Look who's talking!

Anything in excess

will be torn to rags.

Then you should be tongue-less!

It was just a wisecrack.

Seniors! Sathapan is conspiring.

Because we snitched to Father

about his drinking bout in our 1st year.

He wants to take revenge

on us till our final year.

He is asking for chillies in his butt!

'St. Xavier Engineering College'

'Father, I'm going through a good phase'

'St Xavier's Hostel'

'I came just now

I'll call you later'

Go that side and

continue your phone talk.

- Caught me.

- Go in... quick.

Move to that side.

Go... move.

Where are you going?

Go... go.

Go over there.

Go... make it fast.

Go that side.

Just watch, Father.

Show me your pant pocket.

- Wait.

- Bro!

Don't squirm, stand still.

What? Maybe he has hidden it.

If he is blatantly showing

his bag, he won't carry booze in it.

I can look for myself.

Can't even find 1 peg!

At least a tobacco packet?

I may get lucky with this chap.

No pocket, huh?

Turn back.

Why is it I can't find anything?

Come alone?

I'll show you!

- Dai!

- 'Sathappa'

- Father.

- I've told you 1000 times.

Don't I know how disciplined

my boys are, huh?

Father?

1 minute.

We actually suspect Sathappan.

- You suspect me?

- Yes, Father.

He is using us as bait and

hoarding booze in his room, Father.

We'll feel good if you can

check him just once.

Should I suspect

my own assistant?

Don't feel bad, Father.

When these boys can stoop

so low as to suspect me.

It is best to clear the air

here and now, right in front of you.

I am ready.

Machi, shall I check?

- Let me check.

- I'll do it

- I want to.

- Hey... hey!

- I'll check.

- Stop it.

All of you are pipsqueaks

You have the gall to check me.

Father, go ahead

Frisk me head to toe.

- Me? Okay.

- You can check.

No need, Father

He'll somehow trick you.

We prefer checking him.

Dai! You think I'll trick Father!

Do you think this is

an ordinary hand?

This iron hand has held

such heavy guns!

Are you trying to get us caught?

Dead meat you are!

Father, insert your hand.

Jesus Christ!

"We ogle and goggle

We dress up in style."

"We rule as kings, dude

With a swag attitude."

"This is our address always

to have fun in all ways."

"Beat the drum, play the flute

Life is meant to enjoy, dude."

"Our room is so small

Size of a coconut shell."

"Just 1 plate of rice, we share as well."

"We take life as it comes

We are rock & roll chums."

"We live life to the maximum

Together we gather momentum."

"No fence in being jolly

Hypocrites we don't pretend to be."

"We don't need any chick

dumping us double quick."

"We ogle and goggle."

"Hey! We show off dressing up in style."

"Closer to midnight

In candle light."

"Share a fag or drag with delight."

"One and only bottle

for which we will battle."

"Our dreams raise hell

This is a 5 star hotel."

"There is never a shortage

of 'gana' songs at any stage."

"Listen to this folk song merrily

Your worries will willingly flee."

"We live as one big joint family."

"We exchange our dresses freely."

"Come, we have got this new junction."

"No tension, machi."

"Life is full of function muchy."

"We ogle and goggle

We dress up in style."

"We ogle and goggle

We dress up in style."

"We rule as kings, dude

With a swag attitude."

"This is our address always

to have fun in all ways."

"Beat the drum, play the flute

Life is meant to enjoy, dude."

"Our room is so small

Size of a coconut shell."

"We live life to the maximum

Together we gather momentum."

"No fence in being jolly

Hypocrites we don't pretend to be."

"We don't need any chick

dumping us double quick."

Boss.

We kidnapped the boy.

What, sonny?

Do you remember me?

How will you remember?

You flicked a lump sum

amount of Rs 50,000.

Dai! Get a 2' stool.

How dare you cut my call

if I ask you for the money I lent?

Do you know who I am?

'Started from square 1'

'Interest' Indiran.

Sir, I know you.

Narrow escape Thank you, God

I didn't know how to reply

That's why I cut your call.

- Sorry, sir.

- Throw your 'sorry' into the gutter

[LOUD FART]

What's up with him?

'Stinko bag!'

Just because I said 'gutter'

will you bring that stink here?

Don't you know I fart

when I am tense?

When I am tense

I get back my cash.

When you are tense

it is only stinko-gas!

Listen, I want my money back.

Sir, that scumbag isn't picking up my call.

He is missing from hostel

I'll pay you as soon as he's back

I didn't lend you money

trusting that chap

I lent money because

you signed his bail bond.

'Shell out the money'

I don't have cash

to pay my food bill, sir.

Where will I go for Rs 50000?

Hey! I know boys like you inside out.

Did I lend you thinking

you have cash in your pocket?

I took all the spare parts

in your body as guarantee!

If you don't settle

the money you owe me

I'll rip every spare part in your body

and send it to different States.

Make sure you pay me.

Sir... sir, please, sir.

Instead of begging me

make arrangements to repay.

Otherwise your organs

won't be in your body.

He will sign for a bail

like a martyr it seems.

'This number can't be reached right now'

'Please call later'

[MOBILE RINGING]

- 'Hello?'

- Dude?

- 'Tell me'

- Indiran kidnapped me.

'For what joy?'

If I don't pay him by tomorrow

...he will sell my organs

in various States it seems.

How could you even sign

a bail bond for Prem Raj?

I stupidly fell for

his silly sentiment story.

How did I know?

- 'His phone is not reachable'

- Don't get too perturbed.

'Come back to the hostel

We'll hatch some plan'

'One - two'

- Three.

- Bye, da.

Four.

Five - six - seven.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Hey!

Hello?

1 minute.

- Wha-

- Aiyaiyo!

Excuse me.

Wait.

God!

- I asked you to wait.

- I swear I didn't see anything!

I didn't see whatever

you claim you didn't see!

You didn't see, huh?

Then why are you chasing me?

To solve your problem.

Any financial problem?

- Huh?

- Do you need money?

Yes.

How do you kno-

That isn't important.

How much do you want?

I need... around... Rs 50,000!

- I'll give you.

- Hey!

Don't play the fool

I'm very serious

I can give you.

Not knowing me from Adam and

without even asking for an ID proof.

You are kind enough

to give me Rs 50,000.

That is God in human form!

- You think no strings attached.

- Then...?

I need a favor from you.

You are the angel giving me 50,000

Don't be formal, shoot.

You have to take me

into your hostel tonight.

That's all, fin-

Whaaat?

Tonight.

You have to take me

into your hostel.

That isn't a coffee shop

It's a boys' hostel.

Do you want Rs 50,000 or not?

Offer cash and check-mate!

Why go to a boys' hostel?

That is-

Experience.

Don't I need some fun in life?

Shall I do something else

for this Rs 50,000?

Why don't I come

to your hostel?!

That will be an experience

Lots of fun too!

Chee! You are such a scaredy-cat.

Bye, see you

I'll get a man with spunk.

Hello... hello.

You think you can find anyone

more gutsy than me in my hostel?

Deal okay, but stick

to your end of the bargain.

Tell me your Gpay ♪

988-473

Advance now.

After you bring me out in 1 piece

I'll settle the full amount.

Adhirshta Lakshmi.

Oh! I'm Kadhir.

Kadhir...?

When you see your father next week

in his home town, give him this bottle

I'm leaving for Dubai today

I don't have time to come to your house.

Is it a problem for you

to keep it in your hostel?

I am inviting trouble if Father finds out

But I will somehow manage, uncle.

You father is a hard core boozer!

If this bottle doesn't reach him.

He'll bring the roof down.

'Look who's talking of my dad'

'My dad is to blame

Such a cheapo!'

- What are you thinking so deeply?

- Nothing, uncle

I'll deliver this to my dad.

- Shall I leave then?

- Okay, uncle.

- JD, machi.

- Yes, dude.

That's guzzling down

our throats for sure

[MUTTERING UNDER HIS BREATH]

Even zipping my pee in is easy.

I must zip that old hag's lips.

- Get down, quick.

- Wait.

Someone may see us

Get down, fast.

Are you planning to elope, my boy?

Will you send us off?

- Get lost!

- Aiyo!

Old woman, won't you shut up?

What do you mean

'why did you come here?'

An entire block in

our college hostel collapsed.

So we shifted the boys here

How does it affect you?

- She won't let go of you.

- Your granddaughter?

Sh... she.

Who is it?

Listen, I handle 100 boys

in the hostel on a daily basis.

Can't I manage one wisp of a girl?

Just shut up and lie down quietly

I'll pit my wits whoever it is.

She will come.

Gawd! My pee went on reverse mode!

Stop ringing this silly bell

I said I will deal with it

I have to pee urgently

I will handle her

whoever she may be.

Don't start off again

I'll punch you in your mouth.

She won't let you off.

Don't keep harping on a 'she'

Our boys are already hard up.

This is our secret entrance.

Hold this.

Where are you going?

No one around, come in.

Hey! Watch your step.

A little tough Hold my hand.

Hold.

Pccht! Move aside.

Who are you, dear?

Sssshhhh!

Hey! Why are you standing here?

Came to admire the room?

We have to move fast.

Someone might see us.

LET GO OF MY HAND!

Why are you shouting?

Come... this way.

Aiyaiyo!

Didn't you hear a girl's voice?

I heard her too.

Some chap must have walked down

after watching an adult film.

Go to bed.

Hey!

Do I sound like some star

in an adult film?

As if that's the 'matter' now!

Let's get to my room, quick.

I'm so relieved now!

Someone has hustled a girl inside.

Well and truly caught!

- What, da?

- Nothing, senior.

- Scoot now.

- Okay.

Hey! Come.

He won't remember you, get in.

Hey!

Did you see any girl here?

Girl, huh?

In our hostel?

Can anyone escape your hawk-eye, sir?

Even the dust particles in the air

can't get in without his permission!

Did I ask you for a certificate

on my abilities as a warden?

Go to your room.

You must be watching

too many Telugu dubbed films.

Praising me sky-high!

'I thought they came this way'

'Did they vanish into thin air?'

'Or is it my hallucination?'

'I am puzzled'

'Is all this a truth or lie?'

'But if I get my hands on them-'

CHEEE!

I've never set eyes on

such a disgusting, dirty room.

That's how boys' room will be.

Like it, stay Lump it, go away.

Thank your stars

I brought you in safe.

Why are you yelling at me now?

You have to make sure

I get out of here.

- That's our deal.

- Hello! I know how to get you out.

But don't send me out

once and for all.

Shut up and sit here.

'Swollen headed swine!'

Shit!

Yuck!

I've kept an alarm

for 3:00 a.m sharp.

- Leave as soon as the alarm rings.

- I don't need an alarm

I can't sleep even for a second

in this disgusting pig-sty.

Chee!

[LOUD SNORE]

[ALARM RINGING]

"Your glass bangles, my dear

Their jingling sound I can hear."

"In my dream, pretty miss

my cheeks you lovingly kiss."

"In this area, no one else I can see

as sweet a treat as you, girlie."

"In this area, no one else-."

Kadhir.

Hey!

Open the door, da.

Someone's knocking

Hide under the bed.

Don't do something stupid

by letting that Indiran terrify you.

Not doing anything

I'm coming, da.

You won't see sense

I'll break the door open.

Three... here I come.

What took you so long to open the door?

Final semester is fast approaching.

'I was studying

Applied Thermodynamics'

'Fast approaching?'

Semester exams are 6 months away.

Expect me to believe

you have started studying?

Something is wrong!

What do you want?

Paste?

Paste.

Dude, my paste is empty too.

We are respected as long as

the paste is in the tube.

Just watch me squeeze it out.

How can I hold a brush

in this love-spot?

Hey... hey careful!

- It's getting late for college.

- Let me brush my teeth.

Father wanted to see you.

Go... go.

Is this how your wonderful alarm rings?

A good alarm should

wake you up at the first ring.

You rolled over

before it could ring.

How you let your tongue run

You can't sleep in a pig sty like this.

I guess I was too tired.

What to do now?

[KNOCKING]

Hide... underneath.

- Under the bed.

- I'm going.

- Dude?

- Boodhapandi, how are you?

I know you are good, but even if you ask me

so early, I won't give you the JD.

- See you later.

- Not that, hey-

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Ask me to come out

after you send off the whole gang

[WHISTLING]

- Hi, dude.

- Wait... wait, Joshua.

Did you hustle some glam doll here

without my knowledge?

Scared the wits out of you?

I was just pulling your leg.

Then, what's up?

You missed the movie yesterday, dude.

Oh my God!

A different level altogether.

That too Smitha came in that rain scene

with her sari clinging wet to her body.

It was too hard to control

All were like a dog on heat!

- Why don't we discuss this later?

- Why are you feeling shy?

The entire hostel knows your weakness

is the 'girl in the shower' scene, dude.

Hey! Who said so?

Why should anyone tell me?

Last week you took us for a 'Live' show

of bakery uncle's mistress bathing.

Forget that too.

You bought binoculars

from Amazon just for that, dude.

Only then I understood

your dedication, machan.

- Hey! What, dude?

- Get out.

- Let me finish my story.

- Out.

How dare you blame a poor boy

who respects women like God.

- Bloody fool.

- What... God?

Er... these boys are quite jobless.

So jealous of me

for being a dutiful diligent boy.

Stop your performance.

Will you help me get out of here?

I'll go mad if I stick around here

even for a single second more.

We can't step out immediately.

The boys will go

to class by 9:00 a.m.

Then we can easily escape.

Get down and verify

whereabouts of the girl.

Did you see this girl anywhere?

This girl, huh?

Show me some other photo.

Am I a pimp or what?

Take a good look and tell me.

Take a good look, huh?

- I've seen her.

- Really?

When? Where?

Tell me, man.

She bought a 'churidhar'

in my shop last month.

You're dead meat, man.

- Have you seen this girl?

- No.

You haven't?

Aiyaiyo!

- Did you see this girl?

- No.

You didn't, eh?

- 'Hello?'

- Boss, I'm Arivu speaking.

Did you find her?

Boss, I've sieved and

searched entire Chennai.

- No sign of her.

- It's only half hour since you left.

How did you search

whole of Chennai?

Boss, with the help of Google map

I jumped into action.

Beans spilled brilliantly!

Who the hell named you 'Arivu'?

Means 'Brilliant'

So I named myself.

- Moron!

- I'll change it to 'moron', boss.

Don't stand in front of me

without bringing her back to me.

Yes, boss.

- What happened?

- No one has seen her here, boss.

Is she sending me

on a wild goose-chase?

I know how to catch her

Hey! Drive me to the college.

Hey!

Transfer the money right now

I'll freshen up and come

I know all that Come back soon

[MOBILE RINGING]

Hey! Come on.

Boss, that boy isn't inside.

In haste, our man hit a student

creating a ruckus.

- Let's scoot, boss.

- Get in.

- Quick.

- Start the car.

- Move it.

- Make it fast

[MOBILE RINGING]

- What, da?

- 'What, Mr Indiran?'

You are cutting my call?

I'm preoccupied now

I'll call you later Hang up now

I'm not your girl friend to tiptoe lightly

around you adjusting to your mood.

Kadhir.

As if I maligned you Hang up now.

Will do.

Listen to me clearly

before I cut the call.

- What?

- 'I will pay you back'

'In just 1 hour'

But don't show your rowdyism

to students like me.

'Mr Indiran'

'Fattening yourself

like a beefy buffalo'

By lending money

at atrocious interest rate.

And threatening the poor victim.

'You may be boss

to innocent people'

But to Engineering students like me.

Not even close to

the dust on my feet-

He's a big shot in this city.

Hang up now, L.Balu!

His name is Indiran, da.

Boss, more than 'Indiran'

'L.Balu' sounds more-

- Swag!

- Sarcasm, eh?

Ridiculing... mocking me.

- Taking a dig at me!

- No tension.

Can't control it.

Father has gone for his prayer

Sathappan is nowhere to be seen.

Best time for us to go

Transferred the money?

I'm asking you, girl

Have you transferred the amount?

- A minor problem.

- Whaaat?

Account blocked!

Then my money?

Sorry, forgive me.

How can you say it so flippantly?

To top it all, I called and needled him

with my rhyming punch dialogs!

He would have planned to kill me.

Father, I'm sure this must

be their work too.

They have created a secret exit

to go out at night.

Sathappa, don't accuse

without evidence.

You need proof

if you point a finger.

Isn't this building very old?

The rods must have got rusted.

- Is your dress okay?

- Needs to be adjusted-

- Step out.

- Why are you yelling?

I've come with a mission

Blabbering, not knowing the facts.

You are the next Phoolan Devi

Rebel with a cause!

Clear out now

Get out of the hostel.

Jack in the box!

Come.

Quick.

'Yes, Father'

Why are you silent, Father?

Father... Father, Kadhir.

Kadhir, why didn't you attend class?

Father... er... hmmm

I have a bad stomach.

Loosies.

How many times?

I can't buy this story.

Will you come to the loo?

- I'll show you proof.

- Follow you to-

Did you hear that?

Look how rude he is to me.

My stomach is rumbling again, Father.

Sometimes eating your food

even I have the same problem.

Is there any other exit?

Father and Sathappan are here

Let's escape via the main entrance.

Hey! Welder, come here.

You have to solder it here.

Come... come.

- Escape!

- What?

"More trouble on the way

Go and hide right away."

"Like Usain Bolt the sprinter

bolt for your life, mister."

"Hurry... hurry, double quick."

That's a girl for sure!

You are dead meat.

"Don't get caught, fly

Or else you will die."

"Run... run for your life."

"Run from all this strife"

'Scoot, dude'

"Dart, dash, hurry

scoot and scurry"

'Machi, escape'

"Run, race and speed up

Shoot, hotfoot, don't stop"

'H-U-R-R-Y!'

"Scoot and scurry swiftly

Quick on your toes, girlie."

What is the problem?

How do you think I'll know?

Father... Father.

Sathappa, why are you flustered?

College strike

That's all, right?

I got this information long ago.

Aiyo! Not that.

Some fellow has hustled

a girl into our hostel.

- SATHAPPA!

- Sorry, Father

I was doubtful till yesterday

But today my news is confirmed

I saw a girl in our hostel.

Are you suspecting

our dear dickheads?

Not ours, Father.

- Dic-

- Stop it

I wanted to say

they are dictators.

I won't believe

this story of yours.

Father, if you don't come with me.

Any problem crops up

in the future.

Father is not running a hostel

but a brothel!

- What do you mean?

- People will gossip like that.

Come, Father.

- Strike, huh?

- Yes.

- Why?

- You know our Prem Raj.

He eloped with a girl it seems.

Her father brought rowdies over

to create a ruckus in our college.

So college is on strike

See you, bro.

Strike, huh?

- I'm well and truly caught.

- You're caught, huh?

I'm the one in a royal mess.

If a person is going through

a bad phase.

Even a stationary shovel will fly

in mid air and pierce him.

Maintain decency.

Why didn't you say 'no'

if you couldn't do it?

If a chap is ill-fated to face

the malefic effects of Saturn.

Who can prevent it?

- Am I the jinx in your life?

- Do I have to spell it out?

How dare you!

I am like Saturn to you.

- My hair!

- You are the jinx of a jerk.

You are the malefic effect.

If you had escorted me in time

will I be in this fix?

Father, I'm sure he has

that girl hidden in his room.

- How are you so sure?

- He's holding the book upside down.

Hey! Just you wait

I'll find the proof and

make Father beat you to a pulp.

Nothing, huh?

'Hey dude... Kadhir'

'Kadhir... this is Joshua

Open the door, damn you'

- Get under the cot.

- I won't, get lost!

'Open the door, quick'

'Kadhir'

- What?

- Father and Sathappan are on a rampage.

Some girl issue Forget all that.

Give that Jack Daniels

I'll keep it in safe custody

I'll handle all that, go

I'll keep it saf-

Gone... gone.

Sathappan knows you are here.

Where will I hide you?

Aiyo! My life is gone down the drain.

Gone with the wind

My studies, respect, dignity.

Serves you right.

- How dare you call me 'wretched'?

- Have a heart!

- I did all this to help you.

- My left foot!

- 'Kadhir?

- Father is here'

Kadhir, can you

please open the door?

Your Father!? I'm not even

scared of my own father

- I can't hide.

- Open the door.

Father is waiting.

That was stupid of me

I lost my cool I guess

I'll touch your feet

and apologize.

'Open the door?'

'Can't you hear me?'

'Will you open now

or shall I break open the door?'

Hey!

Why did you shut the door now?

- Father, any problem?

- Yes.

Sathappan swears

he saw a girl in this hostel.

A girl, huh?

In our hostel, Father?

- How is it possible, Father?

- Hey!

Is this an act in front of him?

Father, ask him to open the door.

A girl in the hostel

under Father Kuriakose?!

Even if she got past you

won't Sathappan catch her red-handed?

I'm here because I caught you.

Come in, Father.

Please come.

How is it?

Room is empty?

She isn't under the cot either.

Sathappa, you have looked

in every corner, high and low.

You didn't find

any girl here either.

- Only 1 place left.

- Which one?

Septic tank

- I'll get to the bottom of it.

- SHUT UP!

Father, I swear I saw a girl

with my own eyes.

Sathappa, change your suspicious mindset

I'm going for the prayer meeting

trusting you'll be a good warden here.

Don't ruin my faith in you

I swear I saw a girl.

SATHAPPA!

Sorry, Father.

Dai...!

Hey!

Father.

Vanished into thin air?

'Oh gawd!'

Maybe she worked

in Gemini Circus earlier?

Why are you staring blankly?

Thinking it's an old building

I pulled the rod, it just got dislodged.

It was a bit too high for me to jump

Otherwise I would have escaped.

Why will I come back to you?

No one can take her away from us.

From 'us'?

From me

I brought her in here

I'll be the first person

to make my mark on her!

That's okay, I'll have a go after you.

But can she gratify both of us?

For sure, dude.

She may seem bitter.

But you taste her essence, Mia Kalifa!

Alcohol mixed with chemicals

will rule the roost temporarily.

After that.

Only this herbal product.

No side effects.

How they fooled even me!

Sathappan brother.

Showering respect

mountain-high on me.

Come to the point.

We snitched on you 2 years ago

when we were freshers.

You tend to think ill of us

till date because of what we did then.

We are like your own brothers.

Father is attending a prayer meeting.

Shall I ask him

to get you a Bible?

No.

For both fight and

waving the flag of truce.

Booze is top priority, right?

Good philosophy.

- So what?

- So if we get together.

We can booze and become friends.

Oho!' You' means me inclusive?

Asking Sathappan to be

the messenger of peace?

I am the proverbial dove.

You are my brother

from a different mother

I'm not angry with you at all

- I prefer foreign liquor.

- I'll get it ready, sir.

- Why is your hand trembling?

- Mark of respect

- I'll take care of it, bro.

- Okay, go... go.

Best quality booze, eh?

Did that cannon-nose chap

agree in a jiffy?

Better for us to be on our guard

Joshua, did you tell Kadhir about this?

- Will he bring JD?

- I already asked him.

He won't come it seems

Neither will he give us the booze.

Even that's forgivable.

It seems he is now

a total teetotaler!

He says he has stopped drinking?

Our Kadhir, huh?

You're Mr Film-buff

and he is Mr Boozer.

- Our entire hostel knows.

- Shut up.

'Something wrong'

He's up to some mischief.

No need injection.

Yov! Look like a beefy buffalo

and petrified of a tiny injection

I'm terrified of injection

right from my childhood, sister.

Can you make it painless?

- Aren't you a father of many kids?

- Only one.

You can't do a good job

No pain, no gain.

Show your butt.

- Sister?

- What?

What does it matter if it goes in

through my mouth or my bum?

- One and the same.

- Cha!

Then will you eat

through this hole?!

Hey! You know whom you're talking to.

Don't you dare

raise your tone here.

- This is my area.

- So what?

You act over smart,

I'll poison you to death.

'Cauldron-mouth!'

Didn't he beat this nurse's husband

who didn't pay the interest?

- Yes, bro.

- This is tit for tat.

My family will be

looking for me by now.

If they find out I'm here

things will blow out of proportion.

Main entrance is the only way

we can escape.

Sathappan and the boys are

boozing on the terrace.

After they get piss drunk, I intend

slinking away with Sathappan's key.

Till I am back like a good girl.

Keep licking this lollipop.

Drink... enjoy

[SPLUTTERING]

Come, my dear Kadhir dude.

You lost your way

and landed here, huh?

No, I just wanted to

show my head here.

For us to pick out lice?

He is one of us

Don't take a dig at him.

Kadhir, join the fun

and lose your senses.

No, thank you, Sathappa

I don't drink.

Taste the appetizer at least.

If you don't booze

you aren't eligible for side-dish.

- Put that back.

- Do it.

Why are you being mean to him?

You don't know, Sathu.

- Do you know how he has insulted us?

- What harm did I do?

Is it a crime to be studying

in my room like a good boy?

Only if we study and

come up in life.

Father and Sathappan

can be proud of us, huh?

Enough of buttering me.

Drink this beer instead.

No, Sathappa.

- You drink, Satha.

- Dai Sathan!

Hey Sathu.

Having a teetotaler around

when you are boozing.

Placing a bomb under you

are one and the same.

No one will know

when it will explode.

- Not boozing, get up and go.

- Well said, dude.

What if he sneaks to Father

about Sathappan drinking with us?

- If he does?

- Hey!

- Why are you scaring me?

- No... no... no.

- They are teasing you.

- Sathu bro.

Either ask him to booze

or ask him to vamoose!

Go down, Kadhir.

- Why don't you drink?

- What now?

I must booze That's all?

Yes, dude.

- Pour me a drink.

- Where is an empty glass?

Small peg

I'll drink less

You guzzle all of it down.

Drink all you want

Foreign liquor.

- Open your mouth.

- That's the way.

Well done, dude.

Wait, let me check

if he is fully sozzled.

What, dude?

That's all, huh?

"Dude, when we guzzle a peg or two"

[AUTOMATED MESSAGE]

Mica buddies, huh?

Totally flat out.

You had the gall to drink

and smoke in front of me.

You think you can wave a truce flag

under Sathappan's nose!

Your youth is rollicking?!

I'll crush all your gala time.

You asked me for proof, Father?

I'll give you photos as evidence.

My pocket is 1 mile long.

I must mend the hole in my pocket

I'll get my phone and

click snaps, crucify you.

Wait and watch.

Terrace booze party, huh?

Don't underestimate this Sathap-

[BANGING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

Who is in there?

Are you deaf or what?

Will you open the door please?

Aren't you a girl?

Yes, I am a girl.

'Open the door'

Were you the one

roaming around this hostel?

Yes, of course.

Will you open the door now?

We can discuss the rest later.

If I open the door

will you show me your face?

I'll show you any damn thing

First open this door.

Will you?

Stuck with Father

...even my life is

like a rusty iron particle

I must get into 'service' mode now.

You don't worry

I'll get the key and save you.

Lady Luck, help me find the key.

Open the door.

Darling!

Ouch!

Is this what you promised to show?

Hey... hey! Kadhir.

Get up.

Major problem down there.

Open your eyes, da.

Damn you!

Adhirshta Lakshmi!

Aiyaiyo!! God help me.

'Kadhir has some magic up his sleeve'

'I can hear some sound insde'

He is here.

Father?

What is the noise

I can hear inside?

Must be a bandicoot, Father.

- Open the door.

- Father, how can I-

Give me the key.

Father, key is missing.

You go to your room, Father

I'll get a locksmith to open

and then I'll call you, Father.

Key is missing Can't unlock now.

Father is leaving it seems

Leave way for him... move aside.

Here, da.

- Whose?

- Key.

- Your room key.

- This isn't mine.

You left it on the terrace.

It isn't mine

Trust me when I say so.

- Open.

- It is your key, dude.

Dead meat!

Whose underwear is that?

How long since you washed it?

Sathappa, what is up with you?

Father, I saw that girl in this room.

Dismiss Kadhir first.

'Do it right now, Father'

Idiot!

Forever harping about

wine and women

I've always told you

have proof before you accuse.

Father, I swear on our Christ

I saw a girl here

with both my eyes.

'Trust me, Father'

She hit me, tied me up and fled.

Sathappa.

Even if you lie

you should make sense!

How can a girl hit and tie up

such a big hulk of a man?

Where did she hit you?

Trust him to ask me something

I just can't answer.

Sathappa.

If you keep repeating like this

losing your marbles

I'll send you to a hospital

from our hostel.

In a mental hospital.

Boys.

No illegal activity can go on

without my knowledge.

'This man is in his own world'

These boys are reveling in

a separate paradise of their own

I know very well.

One of you is the culprit

who tied up this Sathappan.

He won't believe me!

There's a limit to all your pranks.

If this prank is repeated.

You won't see this compassionate Father.

You'll see my hidden Hyde side

of Colonel Kuriakose.

- Okay?

- Okay, Father

- I didn't hear that.

- Okay, Father.

- Louder!

- OKAY, FATHER.

God bless you all

I didn't hear that!!

- Must be a fan of 'Bigil'

- I heard it, Father.

Dai!

I saw that girl in Kadhir's room.

'I swear I did!'

If I tell you what transpired.

You'll laugh for 1 whole week.

But still, let me tell you

One swift blow.

She squashed my lineage, da

I knew you would laugh

I must get myself bandaged in Puthur.

- Can they bandage down under?!

- Hey! Shut up.

That isn't priority, Sathappa.

First your hand has to

be bandaged properly.

- What do you mean?

- Sathappa.

No one can see this image

in our entire hostel.

Imagine if only you can see

what does that mean?

You have a special paranormal ability.

That means?

- That means...?

- He means it is a spirit.

- Spirit!

- Careful.

You mean a real ghost?

It is the symptom of a spirit

possessing your body.

I don't believe in ghosts and ghouls.

How can you be so flippant, Sathappa?

Spirits in Tamil Nadu are evergreen.

If you want, ask Lawrence master.

Forget that!

Sathappan bro.

Did you see her face?

She just aimed at my base

Didn't show her face.

Then confirmed she is a ghost.

She won't let go of you

I believe you now.

Even that old lady keeps repeating

about supernatural activities

I told you so.

Jeeva, the only property I own

is my beloved body

I can't donate it to ghosts.

Do something.

Why do you worry, Sathappa?

You know Koshy's father?

He is the ex head priest of

Chottanikkara Devi temple.

We can get an amulet from him

and tie it around your wrist.

- You will be well protected.

- Only hitch, Sathappan bro.

You have to shell out Rs 3000

- 3000?!

- Only then your body can be saved

98... 99

- What happened?

- 100.

- Nothing.

- Something missing?

- Nothing.

- No

I thought you fell

for Sathappan's fib.

And looking for a girl in your room?

Chee! As if I'll flip for that crap?

Are you mad or what?

Dude, after hearing Sathappan's accusation

can't you smell the scent of a girl here?

No girl stepped in here

I never said a girl came in here

I commented only on

a feminine scent!

Why are you blabbering?

Dude, how long will he try

to pull the wool over our eyes?

I forgot what I wanted to share.

My aunt's son is visiting me.

Weren't you studying

'Applied Thermodynamic'?

He has a doubt, just go

and clear that alone?

- Now?

- Yes.

- Right now.

- I'm a bit busy now.

- You go, I'll follow you.

- No... no... no.

- You get busy after 10 minutes.

- I'll follow soon.

Come on, man

Stop your performance.

Go in and clarify the doubts

once and for all, eh?

Aiyo!

TRAITOR!

Backstabber!

You've smuggled a girl in

without our knowledge.

Who is she?

She is like a sister.

- Sister to whom?

- All of you!

Son of a gun! She was in

your room for 2 whole days.

- What did you do?

- Damn your dirty mind.

- Matter of Rs 50,000

- Whaaat?!

Even if beauty queen, still 50,000

for 1 night is king's ransom!

Moron! She is the one who has paid me

Rs 10,000 to come with me.

Paid you Rs 10,000

You aren't worth it either.

- To enter the hostel, da.

- What is her job in a boys' hostel?

I don't know.

- What is the matter?

- He hustled a girl into his room.

Hey! He isn't capable of all that.

Of course I brought her he-

I swear it's tru-

- Tell us the truth.

- I swear I don't know.

She said it was for fun.

Did you really come into

our hostel just for fun?

What's your name, babe?

Adhirshta Lakshmi.

Beauuuutiful name!

If you want us to help you

get out of here safely.

Confess to us now

your real purpose.

Hello... hello

Don't waste our time.

'Action block' is waiting.

Dude, day before yesterday.

What is his name?

Interest Indiran

I went to his house

and threatened him.

He panicked and promised to

come and ask for my forgiveness

I'm the one who has

kept him waiting.

But if that scumbag shows

his rowdy frame of mind.

We should be well prepared.

- Keep our tools ready.

- Yeah... yeah, ready.

Listen.

Who are you?

Why did you come here?

- Confession time.

- I am Adhirshta Lakshmi.

We know how 'lucky' you are!

- My initial is I.

- Hiii!

My dad's name is Indiran.

His nickname is 'Interest' Indiran.

I took this broom

only to sweep this floor.

You mean... I...?

Alyalyo!

He is the groom.

Appa, I'm in love with someone

I will marry only him

Not anyone else

I was wrong to pamper you

for being a motherless child.

In 2 days, you will marry

the groom I have chosen for you.

- Hi Bhujji.

- Listen

I wasn't able to convince my dad.

He has finalized some groom.

- Wedding is fixed 2 days from now.

- What do you mean?

Then won't our life move

from love to marriage

I can think of only 1 way.

We have to

...elope.

Prem Raj started avoiding me after that.

'I called him so many times

but he didn't respond even once'

'I couldn't accept the fact he ditched me'

'I decided to come here to

teach him a lesson he'll never forget'

That's when I met you in my house.

Sir... sir... please, sir.

Instead of begging me like this

try to get the money to repay me.

Prem Raj wasn't here when I came.

You came here to

tear Prem Raj to tatters?

Thooo!

How could you even think

he's worthy of your love?

Chee!

What does it matter

whom she falls for?

If they know

you are here with us.

- All of us will be bashed up.

- Why are you dragging us into this?

- That's your fate.

- Okay.

So here's the deal.

If you escort me out of this place

I'll spin some tale

to my dad and cover up.

Dude, I can't take this any longer.

You have to help me

send her out somehow.

Of course we will

What are friends there for?

- Thanks, machi.

- Friends, da.

Hey! What?

Oh! Machan... dude.

We have to dig deeper into this matter.

- What?

- Jack Daniel.

Let's go to Kadhir's room

and plan how to resolve this.

Dude, get ready with the appetizers.

Be a sport, da.

You must guzzle raw JD

Put that down.

Rascal!

My father will kill me.

Has your father ever tasted JD?

- No chance at all.

- Then why fret and fume?

If you add sanitizer to

Ayurvedic immunity booster.

You'll get the same taste!

We can fill up the bottle with

Rs 105 booze, matter solved.

- 'Give me your glass for refill'

- Dude.

Anyway you've opened the bottle.

Can I have a peg or two?

At least a shot, small one.

No way, buddy No chance at all.

You'll get it from me.

Going overboard.

Even I haven't tried this brand ever.

Okay... guys.

Let's start the plan

[LOUD YAWN]

- This is our hostel.

- What about that?

I meant the plan of our hostel.

Our plan is enclosed in this.

"Meenatchi Meenatchi

Do you love our buddy?"

"Meenatchi Meenatchi

Do you love our machi?"

"You haven't said 'yes'

He's waiting for 4 long years."

"Accept his love, my dear

Tell him loud and crystal clear."

Sathappan bro.

You'll feel the effect

as soon as I tie it on your wrist.

- Shall I tie it?

- Go ahead

I wonder whose son are you!

Going out of your way for me.

Just as you said, as soon as

this amulet touched my skin

I have this effect of something

erupting from somewhere within.

The boys are in Deva sir's room.

Father is praying

Joshua will take

care of Sathappan.

Right time for us

Let's sneak out.

Adhirshta Lakshmi, come.

Jeeva, come

Oh! Silly me, I am Jeeva.

Where the hel-

Only 20 rooms here

Where can she hide?

Come.

- Come.

- Hey Kadhir.

Hey Kadhir!

Idiot! Come on.

Oh! You are here.

Get lost!

What now?

The boys are playing in the ground.

- What to do now?

- Don't know.

Wait here for a moment

I'll try and cover up.

Come along.

- What is it?

- You come and take a look.

I told you.

Oh my goodness!

Sundar C!

Shall I do something?

Hit all of them senseless.

Aiyaiyo!

Murder... murder!

Murder... I murdered someone.

Run... scoot.

All of you escape or else

you'll end up as a corpse.

Run... run for your life.

Run.

Where are they running, bloody lunatics?

Herd mentality!

Come, hurry up.

Come out... make it fast.

'Stop!'

Who is that girl?

I'm asking all of you.

Answer my question.

Show me your face, dear.

Good morning, Father.

What kind of disguise is this?

Dressed as a female, Father.

Drama for College Cultural program.

We are rehearsing.

'Who is inside the Purdah?'

That's the name of our drama.

Hey!

Think you are Manisha Koirala

who starred in 'Bombay'?

Huh?

Is this some Hide & Seek game?

I know how to catch you.

Just wait and watch.

Very good! I appreciate your diligence.

But stick to your room

with your disguises.

Don't loiter around like this.

Praise the Lord, Father.

God bless you.

Didn't I say I will catch you?

You broke the bulb

You had better fix it.

You have only 1 way to do so.

Just come to my room quietly.

Or else I'll drag you

to Father's room.

He is a Holy terror

worse than me.

Don't waste your energy

getting breathless over here.

Save it all up.

They painted you out to be a spirit.

But your structure with all its curves

going in and out is something else!

Show your face.

I am trying to woo you

and you're breathing in and out.

Hey you!

You think you're Sunny Leone?

Show me your face, damn!

My dearest

I love you.

If Father had really seen her.

What will be our plight?

We would have been insulted

and branded as Casanovas.

He would have disgraced us

in front of our family.

That's why I suggested a rehearsal

I'm telling you

trying to fool Father.

And ushering her out of

the main gate is an impossible task.

All because of this female.

So many decent boys

exist in this world.

Ignore all of them.

You choose Prem Raj of all fellows

to fall in love and give us a hard time!

Hey! Was it social service you did?

- I paid you for bringing me in.

- Talk softly.

You paid me in millions!

You went back on our deal

She lies through her teeth, dude.

Hey! If you demean me

I'll become a demoness.

You don't know my true colors.

You are Indiran's daughter

I know you inside out.

What do you know about me?

Your attitude from the begin-

Dude, girls are software.

Shouldn't use hard words to them.

He'll use a string of bad words

on you, shut up.

First let us plan

how to get her out of here.

Then the figure I saw

was a real ghost? Tell me.

I can see the string here.

Where is the hair, da?

Moron of a woman!

Tell me clearly.

Where did you take this string?

This is an amulet with special powers

to bless me with good luck.

- Idiot!

- Hahn?

This won't bring you good luck.

But lure you to fu-

Hey! Act your age

Don't let your tongue run.

Why did you untie the string

tied on that tree?

- On what tree?

- Her hair is missing from the amulet.

No wonder the tamed spirit

has gone wild now!

Whom are you referring to?

What you saw isn't a regular

terrorizing spirit.

She is a deadly lover-spirit.

Her name is 'Purdah' Parvin.

What kind of filmy name is that?

Do spirits also have

an adjective as prefix?

Listen to my flash back.

- Tell me.

- Rewind approximately 18 years

I don't have time to listen to

your flashback visually like 'Baahubali'

Give me an oral account like

'Onaayum Aatukuttiyum'

'Parvin lived with her family in

the building which is your hostel now'

'She always wore a 'Purdah'

So she was called 'Purdah' Parvin'

'She used to cover her face

even when she was asleep'

- Such a striking beauty, huh?

- You saw her, right?

Oh yes! I saw her.

'Her parents saw many grooms for her'

'No one came forward to marry her'

'In her angst of

being a virgin-spinster'

'She started roaming at night

and then started screaming in fright'

'Unable to bear her plight

I told her, a man loves her'

'I lied to her saying he will come soon,

'see' her formally and marry her'

'Hearing my words

she jumped with joy'

'Who is my knight

in shining armor?'

'When will he come to

lift my 'purdah' and see my face?'

She started nurturing buds of lust

in her mind and heart.

- How long can I deceive her?

- Very true.

Where will a man who doesn't exist

come from nowhere.

So I had to lie to her, he was

involved in an accident and he died

I gave her this amulet saying

this was all we found of him.

She yearned for the dead man who would

have lifted her 'purdah' and seen her face'

'This was combined with

an unreasonable rage'

'I didn't get married

when I was alive, right?'

'I shall become a ghost'

'I will live with a man I love

at least for 24 hours'

'She wrote down her vow in a letter'

'And hung herself to death'

'Only after she became a spirit

her atrocities intensified'

'Not a single man could

travel freely in this area'

'To suppress her antics

and tame her spirits'

'I indulged in black magic on her strand

of hair and this amulet string'

'We nailed it to this mango tree'

'She will try to come out'

You released it without any reason.

If I remove this amulet

she won't haunt me, right?

You should not have lifted

her 'purdah' and seen her face.

- So what happens?

- For the first time.

You were the one to lift

her 'purdah' and see her face.

She wants to start a family with you!

On Full Moon night due now.

She will take a human form.

She won't let you go

without having a go at you!

'Having a go' means?

Her first night with you

when she'll no longer be a virgin.

- Never!

- He doesn't even know this, idiot.

Man and spirit

meet and mate, huh?

This will never happen.

You dimwitted fellow!

She is in the depths of libido.

You cannot stop her

She cannot be subdued.

Is there no other way to exorcise her?

Only one who has

immense faith in God.

And who is an expert exorcist

...can save you.

So only Father can save me?

Father... Father

Please come with me.

- Why at this time of night?

- Don't ask me anything.

- This is life or death for me.

- Let me wear my pant.

Before you wear this

she will poleaxe me!

- Father, come.

- Where are you taking me?

Is your pant important?

Or my life?

Come, Father.

Where are you dragging me now?

- Ask how that old hag is connected?

- Sathappa!!

Hey old woman

I've brought Father here.

Tell him what you told be

Word to word, verbatim.

He has come pant-less, for my sake.

Father, you will believe me

if you hear it from this lady's mouth.

All my problems will be solved.

Now just watch me Old woman...?

Grandma?

Usually you stutter, stammer

talk by ringing your bell.

Grandma.

Old lady.

Father, check what's wrong?

Oh lady, talk to me.

Oh gawd!

Why is it throbbing

like a lorry engine?

This is my wrist, Father.

What happened, Father?

She reached the feet

of Christ long ago.

Aiyaiyo! You messed up my life and died.

- God help me.

- Hey Sathappa!

You are the one who killed her.

- Me...?

- Then what!

You told her a ghost story

and made her a ghost!

SHE is the one who told me

a ghost story, Father!

- She mumbled and muttered.

- I'll call for the ambulance.

You left me lamenting like this.

Whom will I go and lament my fate?

You died without knowing my plight.

'Beloved!'

Did her relatives

get to know so soon?

- YOU?!

- I was the one who killed the old hag.

WHAT?

Whoever steps into

our space of happiness

I will dig a grave for them.

What kind of twisted logic is this?

Is Father the next victim?

I won't let you kill him.

Father!

Adhirshta Lakshmi.

We understand your situation

But kindly reciprocate the same.

We are planning to

somehow get you out safely.

But some spoke in the wheel

messes our plan royally.

Don't worry.

Whatever happens tonight

I'll see that you reach home, okay?

Please eat.

Luxy, I got 'set dosa' and

thick coconut chutney just for you.

Shall I feed you?

Even Father won't believe me.

All because of-

Hey you in there!

'Open the damn door'

Sathappan, da.

- 'Open the door'

- Get under the cot.

I'm your Lord of Death from today.

Open the door.

- Hide fast

Why are you following her?

- Keep her company.

- My slipper will speak!

How long will I bang on the door?

Sathappa, we are doing

serious group studies now.

Why don't you come back tomorrow?

- We are studying.

- I know what you'll be up to.

- Chee!

- You're dead meat, da.

Where did you flick this amulet?

Flick, huh? I paid Rs 3000

to a seer in Chottanikkara

3000 bucks, right?

- Tell him.

- Yes, Sathappa bro.

We paid Rs 3000.

Not even worth 30 paise.

Why are you lying through your teeth?

Tell me the truth

Don't test my patience.

Didn't you pluck this off the mango tree?

Mango tree So what?

Look closely.

Without even spending 10 paise

a soooper vintage amulet is ready

I thought you gave me this amulet

to make spirits exit from my life.

You've given me a ghost

waiting to enter my body and soul!

Had a go?

Go... goddamn goons!

Sathappa, what are you blabbering

about ghosts and ghouls?

He has been acting weird

for the past few days

I'll ask Father to refer you

to a good psychiatrist

- I'll tell him.

- I need to consult a shrink.

You dug my grave and

want me to see a shrink!

You should be-

What is it, Sathappa?

I can smell that spirit's

perfume even here.

- How will a spirit use perfume?

- 'Of course'

Sathappa, you are so obsessed

your nose is working overtime.

- Consult a good doctor.

- I won't spare you, warning you.

Don't think I'm leaving

because I'm scared of that ghost.

Are you senseless?

- Will you play your pranks with him?

- As if we knew the outcome.

Shall I lift you up?

Doesn't matter, come, sit.

- Problem solved.

- Lux, got scared?

This is a common feature

in our hostel life.

If Kadhir hadn't interfered

I would have killed that Sathappan.

In your dreams!

First get into your underwear.

'Good lord! Did I give her a free show?'

How will I make Father understand?

Aiyo!

I didn't cut all these vegetables.

Who is in this kitchen?

My dear, this is my section.

Your section is 'something else'

Why do you say it with a drawl?

But the 'son' you said now

will never happen.

Only THAT will happen, darling.

You are spared

because you are a spirit.

Or else I'll hit you, mind it

I'm waiting for you

to hit on me!

Why is her reply 'pun intended'?

Why are you appearing only in front of me

and taking the life out of me? Tell me.

Because-

You are my better half.

She's making it even worse!

"I am a lotus waiting to bloom & smile

I haven't slept in a long long while"

'Why is she dancing like this?'

I lost my sleep thanks to you.

- Target missed.

- What, darling?

Your aim is going haywire.

Have a go, 'bingo'

Wait and watch this time.

Don't divert with

your villi laughter!

Get lost!

- Jesus Christ.

- Aiyaiyo!

Father!

[MOBILE RINGING]

- Who is it?

- Boss... moron!

How dare you call me a moron!

Boss, I'm 'moron' speaking.

You, huh?

Speak up

I found someone who saw your daughter

get into an auto with her lover.

Really?

I've caught that auto driver.

Stay put there

I'll come over right away.

Yes, boss.

Sharp indeed.

Nothing major Just a small bump.

Are you feeling sad

you didn't fling it with more force?

As if I will even think

of hurting yo-

Hey!

You just missed my rolling pin!

Why are you torturing me like this?

When did I torture you, da?

I wasn't talking to you, Father

I beg of you Please believe me.

What do you want me to believe?

A spirit is standing behind me.

Sorry, Father.

- Hey.

- Bingo!

You are such a pro.

No one can stop our 1st night

together tomorrow.

After hurling a rolling pin on to my head.

You branded my buttocks now.

Wait, Father Listen to me.

If you hassle me like this

I'll fling hot oil on your face.

- Get out of here.

- I get it now.

Using the ghost as excuse

you aimed at my head.

Scalded my butt

Now you want to throw hot oil?

Will I ever betray you?

You already did.

FATHER

He won't believe me.

If only I can get proper proof

to make him believe me

I can make him the exorcist.

Why are you cussing me

with your mind voice?

I will tell you loud and clear.

- You are a blind cat.

- SATHAPPA!

Don't shout, Father

You know to yell only at me.

So many misdeeds

behind your back.

All you want is proof, right?

Come with me.

Come, I'll show you.

Harping on proof for no reason.

That damn thing.

Father.

Here... please wait.

- What can be hiding here?

- Wait.

It's missing

- I know I stuffed it here.

- 'You' did?!

I mean 'they' did Please wait

I'll show you.

Take a look Porn books.

Look at all the booze bottles.

We can exchange them for cash

in a local scrap shop.

So many bottles.

Why didn't we find these

during the raid?

If we announce

how will you catch them?

You must do a sudden attack

like Flying Squad?

Hey! Jeeva, da

Open the door.

- What?

- We are well and truly caught.

Sathappan fabricated evidence

and snitched to Father about us.

Father is raiding all the rooms

Lux, let's go

- I'm not coming.

- Sit down.

Royal pain!

Sathappan is suspicious of

this room from the beginning.

Best is to take her to my room.

Your room?

Go there and do what?

I have an idea Come, let's go.

Come... come.

- Tell us your idea.

- Wait.

Before... before that.

One of us should go out and

give a heads up on Father's arrival

I'll go.

How will you inform us?

- Phone, dude.

- Call me

[PRE-CALL COVID MESSAGE]

Before you can warn us

Father will close our chapter!

What do we do now?

I have an alternative idea for that too.

No one in our hostel

has thought of this idea.

No one can find out either

I'll signal in a different sound

made by an animal.

Go and do your signaling.

Go

I'll come one last time for you.

If we don't find anything

Matthew Chapter 7, verse 7.

Ask, and it shall be given you;

Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

'Seek and you will find'

is the actual text.

Let's search one last time.

Aiyo!

Hey! Who are you?

Looks like you landed

from Kailasa this morning

1st year student, senior

I'm sitting on guard here

to give signal when Father comes.

You too, huh?

Tell us your plan.

This is my plan.

If I saw these rods, she can

climb out and hide on the sun shade.

Seriously!

Why the hell didn't you say so

when we were in that room?

'As if you can saw your way out'

'What is she doing?'

I've removed these bars

in that room already.

She's an expert in this.

That's my Lux!

Senior, don't you have

an 'item' in your room?

Item, huh?

Yes, senior, we saw what you hid.

Everyone knows, huh?

Senior, after you have had enough.

All of us would like one shot each!

We don't have any item in our room.

Item for sure We saw, remember?

You actually saw?

JD, full bottle.

Wasted wastrel!

- You meant booze?

- Then what?

What did you think?

I thought it was that gir-

Shut up and look out for Father.

Somehow bait them

[ANIMAL CRIES]

[HOWLING LIKE A WOLF]

[BRAYING LIKE A DONKEY]

Is this his different animal sound?

Mr Muddle messed up as usual.

What is this?

Hostel or Vandaloor zoo?!

Careful, Father.

You go, Father

I am so puzzled by these sounds.

If you were crystal clear

you can catch the ghost.

Don't know which floor Father is in?

It makes sense for

one of us to check outside.

Come

[WEIRD CRIES]

Lock up, quick.

Prai... praise the Lord, Father.

Where are you off to

locking your room?

We finished studying in this room.

So we thought we'll go to

the next room to study.

Hey! Whichever room you study

the syllabus is the same.

'Too good to be true'

Father, somehow I am

suspicious of only him.

We should check his room

before we go in to Joshua's.

Sathappa.

We checked his room

only yesterday.

- Let's check Joshua's room now.

- Okay, Father

Joshua.

Father, can we check this room later?

- Why?

- We just locked this room.

Let the door take some rest.

We can come back here

after checking all the other rooms

Joshua, open the door.

Shouldn't we give time to exit?

- Who will exit?

- For the air to exit and enter.

The boys have bombed the whole room after

eating the gourmet meal you served us.

SHUT UP!

AND OPEN THE DOOR

Hey Kadhir!

Father wants to check

only my room first, right?

Yes, Joshua.

You said it loud and clear.

'Yes, dude'

Aiyaiyo!

I dropped the key.

How could you?

- Where is the key?

- Why did you drop it?

'Take the key, man'

'Hey! One of you

pick up the damn key'

Father, I am dead sure

someone is hiding here.

'What are you doing, dude?

Making father wait for so long'

Will you pick the key or not?

Pretending to clean the floor

instead of opening your door.

Open now.

Open the door.

Come, Father Come in.

Go ahead and search.

Please search.

Where do I find any proof?

If he clasps the bar

we'll all be counting bars!

What to do now?

Father!

Nothing, Father.

What are you hiding?

Move aside.

Who is this?

Mia Kalifa, Father.

Hustle... shuttle player, Father.

I know, I've seen her too.

Even I am fond of her, Father.

Very good player.

- Didn't find anything.

- Did you check thoroughly?

Not even a single clue?

'Which is the next room?'

He's sniggering at us.

- Lead the way, idiot.

- Please come

I know you are up to some mischief.

Wait and watch.

Have you joined the gang too?

Be ready.

Next is your room, go.

Hold it, damn you.

- Father!

- Found anything?

Perfume scent of that spirit.

- Here?

- No.

- In Joshua's room.

- WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO

...when we were there, Father.

What does it matter

when I say it, huh?

Ignore him, Father

For my sake, just once.

Sathappan has gone mad.

He said a girl is in Kadhir's room

Today it's a ghost in Joshua's room.

Tomorrow he'll say you have

an 'item' in your room.

- Jesus Christ!

- He will blab something, Father.

He is the blabber-mouth, Father

I swear in Joshua's room

I smelt the ghost's perfume.

For my sake

Just once... please.

First let's search in

the room we are in now.

Then go to a room

we have already checked.

- You won't find any clue here.

- Move aside.

'Father and Sathappan are

returning to Joshua's room'

- Oh gawd!

- What is it?

Return of Father part II.

- Aiyaiyo!

- What is it?

- You said he's back.

- Stop aiyaiyoing!

What do we do now?

Shall we send her out

through the window again?

I can't do it again.

What do you think I am?

Girl or snake gourd?

Fat hopes!

I won't go.

- You look like a snake gourd anyway.

- What to do?

Let's take her to my room.

After Father and Sathappan come here

we'll shift to Boob's room.

- Correct move?

- We are searching in the wrong room.

Instead of nowhere

let's go now-here, Father!

Let's go.

Hey!

Come, quick.

Come, Father.

As soon as you enter the room

...the spirit's perfume

will invade your nostrils!

Can you smell the perfume?

Inhale and check.

Hey!

That same 'purdah'

Hey! Who is that 'As-salam alaykum'?

- Er... er.

- No one.

That girl next to you.

- Which girl?

- What is he talking about?

I caught you red handed!

Father, enough of sniffing

Come out and see.

- Come.

- What?

You always asked me for proof, right?

Here's my proof

right in front of your eyes.

They are having fun

with a girl, Father.

- Is that a girl?

- What?

Yes, Father.

Is that a girl wearing a 'purdah'?

- Y... yes.

- Did you see?

- N... no, Father.

- I have checked.

Under that 'purdah' is Boo-

In which gap did you see?

One track mind in double meaning, eh?

- No.

- That's Boothapandi in a 'purdah'

- Boobs as in Boothapandi.

- Yes, you're bang on.

- Boothapandi, changed so soon?

- Isn't he shorter than this?

Don't you have a decent hour to

rehearse for the Culturals?

Perfume smell of the ghost is in here?

- Yes.

- Come.

- 'Hey Jeeva'

- Father?

Next is your room.

Okay, Father, it is wide open

You can step in anytime.

Hey! Don't pl-

- 'SATHAPPA'

- Coming, Father.

- Sathappa.

- Father?

You blabbered about

some perfume and a ghost.

No smell or stink here.

I can smell it, Father.

If I am able to smell

for sure your nose-

You have a stuffy nose

Shall I get you a balm?

SHUT UP!

If you open your mouth

about ghost or spirit

I'll feed you to the vultures!

Kadhir.

Kadhir?

'Open the door'

- Father.

- Kadhir?

If you don't open the door now

I'll keep banging till my hands break.

Kadhir.

- It is locked on the outside.

- Kadhir.

KADHIR!

- Can't you see it is locked?

- Oh! Yes.

Someone has latched

Sathappan's mind too.

That's why he is confused.

My confusion is

thanks to all of you.

Come in, Father.

Father is in Kadhir's room.

The boys have got

the set-up ready, let's go.

You stay put.

Where?

Let me search.

Sathappan... constipated?

Bull!

Bull in a china shop!

I just want a single piece of evidence.

Then I will, not me.

Watch how Father will crucify you!

Sathappa, I trust my boys

They are genuine.

And faultless.

YOU ARE JUST WASTING

MY PRECIOUS TIME

How did we find porn books

and booze bottles there?

Did a crow throw it

down that pipe?

- That's a right question.

- Father.

You've checked all the rooms

Only 1 is left for you to check.

- Are you implying my room?

- Oh! No, Father.

Praise the Lord, Father.

Sathappan.

- 'Oh My Kadavule'

- Yes, Father.

Even I feel bad asking.

But at least your clouded mind

will be cleared once and for all.

Trial by fire for me Sathappan, huh?

But I will win

like the eternal phoenix.

Come, da

I'll prove to you I have been

blessed specially by our Lord

Jesus Christ, help me.

What can you find in my room, Father?

Only Bible and the Holy water you gave.

Please seek and you'll find.

Listening to immature boys.

My bureau has the Bible

and Book of Psalms.

Give that to the boys

so they can read and be blessed.

'Why is he messing up

my neatly stacked clothes?'

Not on the top rack.

Look under the pillow.

Prepare for the shock.

Let me see.

'The lonely banyan tree'

You have a whole library

of such dirty books in here?

'Aiyo! Father'

- 'How did these turn up?'

- Bad smell.

Oh my God!

- What is this?

- I swear, Father

I have no clue

how these turned up here.

Trust me, Father.

Sathappa.

- Aren't you the only occupant?

- Yes... yes.

Who could have done it?

Did I hide all these here?

'Locked her door, lass so naive

after midnight at 1:05'

- Is there such a book?

- That's a proverb.

Stop explaining

AND JUST GET OUT!

Father, I'm telling you the truth

I am in no way connected to this.

Who am I?

Retired colonel

I have dedicated

my entire life to Christ

I am here For what joy?

Even if students fail in their exam.

They should pass in life's exam

I'm teaching discipline to my students.

When you lack this discipline.

WHY YOU SHOULD BE HERE?

JUST GET OUT!

I'm innocent I haven't sinned.

- Mr Innocent?

- 100 %.

You are not a cent innocent

Will you stop this nonsense?

Whatever truth I speak

you won't believe me.

What am I supposed to believe?

You said the boys hustled-

Ushered a girl in here.

- That's a lie.

- True that!

Then you said, not a girl

but a ghost, that was also a lie.

You said the boys are boozing

Another lie to your kitty.

All the facts are stacked here.

Father, poor Sathappan

Forgive him and let him go.

Pardon in Tamil is the only word

Father does not approve of.

- Yes.

- Father.

That's a dialog from 'Ramana'

Even a murderer can be forgiven.

But a man with no morals

can never be pardoned.

Father, you don't have to pardon me

Give me just 1 day time

I will myself prove

I am 100% innocent.

Father will give a chance to

even a prisoner on Death row.

- But.

- Yes.

Shut up!

- Sathappa.

- Father

I'll give you 24 hours grace time.

If you don't prove even one

of your wild accusations

I'll personally roll you

out of the main gate.

You can't roll me out.

This is more than enough for me

I'll prove my innocence

I swear on YOU... ONLY YOU!

Are you Sathappan

or 'small mummy'?

Looks like you will

kill me with your promises

I have to be alive

to believe your proof!

- Move.

- Don't-

Okay, please go.

Father... Fath-

He has gone.

You guzzle down booze

and read porn books.

And blame it all on me, huh?

If you turn into Shakuni

this is your fate, Sathappan.

He tickled me?

That too wrong touch!

You maligned me as Shakuni

the antagonist in Mahabharat?

This Sathappan will turn into Chanakya!

Sathappan will watch us like a snake

because of his challenge to Father.

Every second she's here

is a major risk.

We'll send her according to our plan

lowering her down from the terrace tonight.

Tonight? Okay.

- Let me go.

- Shut up.

Why are you hitting him?

- Take your hand off.

- You'll get it solid very soon.

- Is he that auto driver?

- Yes, boss.

Your daughter eloped in his auto.

Where did you drop her?

Tell me the truth

[OVERLAP OF ANGRY VOICES]

"Pray only to our Savior always."

Trying to confuse

and crucify me, huh?

I know how to con you, boys.

Your illegal activities increase

only in total darkness

I'll catch you.

"Pray only to our Lord Jesus."

Looks like someone is walking there.

Who can that be?

Maybe Sathappan's theory is true?

Who is that?

Father.

It's me... Sathappan.

Why are you also scaring me?

That means something else

scared you before you saw me.

Nothing of that sort

I saw a figure

Wondered if it's a girl-

You think may be a ghost?

You must have imagined it.

Shouldn't talk without proof, Father

- I saw a figure.

- Not possible.

You're a retired colonel.

Can a girl or ghost step into

our hostel defying your hawk eyes?

Don't accuse

without proper proof

I know I saw

right in front of me.

Must be your

fertile imagination!

You shouldn't say anything

without proof, Father

I swear on you I saw a figure.

Even if you beat me to a pulp

you shouldn't speak without proo-

Back answering my 'proof' dialog

back at me, huh?

[MUFFLED VOICE]

You're annoyed, right?

I had this same feeling

of annoyance past 2 days.

Now do you realize?

- Now do you see?

- I saw, man.

Will you believe me

at least from now on?

- Er... huh.

- Why this doubt?

Fine, do I have a choice?!

- That's better.

- Let's get our facts right.

- Which side did it go?

- Terrace.

Come.

The shoe bites the wearer, huh?

- Go.

- Tie it real tight.

It is strong enough

to bear her weight I think.

Hurry up.

- Here.

- Lower it

Lux, my responsibility to

lower you down in a luxurious way.

You don't be worried.

Don't trust them

I'll hold you real strong.

Let's go.

Shut up and stand here.

Come here.

Lower yourself carefully.

Thanks.

Hold this

[MUFFLED VOICE]

- Wait... wait.

- What now?

I heard something Let me check.

'Watch your step'

Come... come.

Father and Sathappan are coming up.

- Good Lord!

- Father, huh?

Attend to her first.

- This drum.

- Hide in here.

Once, one last time.

Wha... what are you doing?

- Super hiding place.

- Careful... watch it.

- Keep an eye on them.

- Tuck your legs in.

Seeing the proof with your own eyes

you are coming up this far.

- Come, Father.

- Go... go.

What are they doing here?

- Praise the Lord, Father.

- Something fishy!

Why are you here

at this time of the night?

Group study, Father.

We should uphold your name, right?

- In pitch darkness.

- Under the moonlight, Father.

Yes, he's right.

Hey! Expect me to believe, you are

so talented to study in this moonlight?

'Tell me'

It isn't about talent, Sathappa.

- Then what?

- 1-2-3!

"God's ultimate grace."

"God's blessings on us"

[TRENDING DEVOTIONAL SONG]

"God's ultimate grace."

- Father.

- Sathappa!!

I'm sorry, Father.

Let's clarify the doubt

we came for.

Father saw another figure with you.

You saw just us, Father.

- Sathappa.

- Father?

They are studying seriously

even in this darkness.

- We shouldn't doubt their sincerity.

- Holds good for genuine students.

Achoo!

[GROUP SNEEZING]

What is this sneezing spree?

It is the mist in the air

So cold, Father.

Okay, don't catch a cold

[SNEEZING]

Whose is the 5th sneeze?

- Echo.

- ECHO!

Is that so?

Let me check out

Echo or psycho, come.

No need

[OVERLAP OF FLUSTERED VOICES]

- No need.

- Don't go, Father.

Father... Fa-

I'll prove it to you, Father.

Come

[SNEEZING]

Who is this sneezing?

[LOUD SCREAM]

Father got spooked

seeing a spirit.

What will I do now?

Who will help me?

Oh gawd!

A ghost is here Come down.

Oh my God!

Ghost, huh?

[FLURRY OF VOICES]

Why is Father so spooked?

'Bro... bro'

Hey! Stop it.

- You dropped her here?

- Looks vaguely familiar.

- How familiar?

- I was drunk that night, bro

I dropped that Bhai's daughter here.

Boy daughter.

- Boy or girl?

- Bhai's daughter.

- Tell me if boy or girl?

- Bhai's girl

I'll rip you apart Be specific.

Bhai's daughter, bro.

- Male or female?

- Bhai's daughter.

Boy... girl.

Boy or girl?

Both are the same, bro.

How can both genders be one?

Mad or what?

- Boss... boss.

- This girl in the photo, right?

Not this face, that night

I dropped a Bhai's daughter, bro.

She was wearing a 'purdah'

You mean a Muslim Bhai's daughter

I am so sorry

I hit you, my dear bro.

Moron of a motley gang

I'll smash your face.

He dropped a Muslim girl and you take

this poor chap on a wild ride, you morons!

Boss, what if the Bhai's child

is actually your daughter?

Clean hand, da.

- Are you insulting my morals?

- Sorry, boss.

He doesn't know to explain.

What if that 'purdah' girl

is your daughter in disguise?

Hey! Soooper, da.

Travels, boss.

What if she has left the city?

All of you seem to have

sat under the Bodhi tree!

Goosebump moment for me

Good chance you are right.

If I get to know

where she has gone

I'll bring her back in a jiffy.

Boss, very simple.

We'll ask the Travel office

tomorrow morning.

- Sensible.

- Then we can go home now?

If your head is full of hair

how will your brain work?

Have you forgotten I've vowed

not to go home till I find my daughter?

Till then this car is our home

Get in and settle down.

- Okay, boss.

- Don't keep asking questions.

- Boss... boss.

- Why are you 'boss'ing me?

Shall we just check inside

the boys' hostel, boss?

First my daughter, only then

that boy who has to pay up.

Get in and sleep

Don't be over sincere.

'Moron, he wanted to go into

the hostel to look for your daughter'

Mind voice, huh?

Obsessed with your mind voice

1-track mind, get in

I have to trust him

and exorcise that spirit.

Let me give it a shot.

Good lord!

My dear husband-to-be.

Tomorrow is Full Moon night

when we unite mind and body as one.

Never mind any moon

I won't let any union happen.

Neither will I.

Let us wait and watch.

Full Moon lights the whole city

'No moon' darkens my life.

Father.

We lost the rope Our last hope.

Must think of a new plan

- I have an idea.

- Bad idea

I didn't even say it, da.

Anyway it will be bad, but shoot.

Why should you go?

- Stay with me forever.

- Dude, pick up that slipper.

Scoot from here or else

I'll pound you to a paste.

Can't you zip your lips, dude?

Hey! Let's set fire to the hostel.

When everyone is terrified and running

for safety, we'll escort her out.

- How does that sound?

- Did you become like this now?

Or bonehead from birth?

Listen to my idea.

Father believes a ghost

is roaming around here.

Let us brainwash Father.

Under the pretext

of exorcising the spirit.

We can send her out.

Sketch it out in detail.

'Ahaa?!'

One glimpse of her you have the chills

and you need a blanket and fomentation.

How many times

I've been hounded?

How many blankets will I need?

Drink this.

Father, it is confirmed now

a steamy spirit is roaming around

I can see the steam

I know the coffee is piping hot.

No time for comedy, Father

I meant that spirit.

Why are you reminding me now?

Father

I have a sound idea for both of us

to escape from that spirit.

Why are you

adding me to your list?

Just listen to me.

Let's give up this building to that spirit.

Let us shift our hostel

to some other place, Father.

- SATHAPPA.

- FATHER!

Don't raise your voice

That spirit may overhear.

- Father.

- She has got us.

Aiyaiyo!

God help us.

- You boys, huh?

- What happened, Father?

The problem is-

I suddenly caught a cold.

Why did you come here

at this time of night?

Father, we have to drive out

the ghost haunting our hostel.

How do we do that?

With the help of an Ouija board.

Ouija board means that-

Father, you have all the facts

in your fingertips

I browsed online and found, like how

we contact one another via phone.

This Ouija board is a tool

to contact spirits.

Tomorrow if we contact that spirit

and fulfil its desire.

It will vanish of its own accord.

Kadhir, whatever

she's asking can't be given.

Sathappan, we'll know

only tomorrow night.

Aiyo! Listen.

She is asking 'me'

Sathappan, we can fulfil her wish tomorrow.

Father, did you get what I said?

She is asking 'me'

We will know who she wants

and what she desires only tomorrow.

He's thinking like a blind cat

circling in a circle.

'My life is in shambles'

Father, you are still thinking.

Not really, I mean what if

this ghost has a human mindset?

What if it doesn't go away

even after its wish is granted.

How is that possible?

We've already planned everything.

You have planned?

No... no, Father

I told you about the Ouija board.

He meant that plan of ours.

Inspite of all our efforts

if that ghost doesn't go away.

To chase her away for good.

You are here for us, Father.

Me...?

'If only he can help-'

Father!

Can you of all people

hesitate like this?

'All the lands drought-ridden get consoled

by seeing the river that never dries up'

'If that forever flowing

river dries up?'

Father, you are not just a Father.

You are the direct messenger of

our Almighty God, hallelujah!

My dear boys.

I accept this challenge between

this spirit and me tomorrow.

My beloved?

Not just an Ouija board.

Be it a boot-licker or betrayer.

No one can detach me from you

[SPOOKY LAUGHTER]

There is a deadly demoness spirit

roaming around our hostel.

Last night she spooked

the living daylights out of our Father.

They are spinning a fast one.

We are driving her

out of our hostel tonight.

So no one should step out tonight.

If you disobey

...it will send you to an early grave.

You expect us to believe this?

Why not?

You don't believe us?

Then what?

Nowadays where do you find

ghosts, ghouls and spirits?

Are you taking a dig at us?

All those who wish to die

step out tonight.

Let me see who survives

an assault from a spirit.

You warn them, dude.

If you live through tonight.

See you tomorrow.

- See you.

- Father, son.

- Holy ghost.

- Amen

[SNEEZING BOUT]

It is broad daylight now.

Aiyo... aiyo... aiyo!

Wake up, all of you, get up.

WAKE UP!

- Get up.

- Ask for tea, boss.

T... tea!

Get up right now

I should slipper my head

for trusting you, I'll handle it.

Hey tail end 'beedi'!

When does this office open?

What do you mean 'haen'?

Jerk of a junkie!

When will this Travel office open?

You have to do the honors.

Why should I?

I will be mistaken for a thief!

It isn't even locked

[LOUD TERRIFIED SCREAM]

Jesus saves.

Spread out the board.

Before we begin, the main gate and

compound gate should be opened, Father.

Why?

For the spirit to exit.

Usually the devil can disappear

as a puff of wind in a small gap.

That's an ordinary ghost, Father.

This is.

- EXTRA ORDINARY ghost.

- I'll open the gate right now.

Sathappa, without my permission?

Didn't you hear him say

'extra ordinary' ghost?

Why are you behaving

like a lunatic?

If we don't exorcise it

diarrhoea will be my exercise

- I'll open the gate.

- Sathappa!

This isn't the time to ask

for forgiveness, I can't.

Key.

My bad luck

fidgeting with the key.

At last I managed to open it.

Ghost, please go.

Tail

[MOBILE RINGING]

Hello? You are tense

about your missing daughter

I'll tell you where she is.

- Where is she?

- But 1 condition.

What is your condition?

I always keep up my word.

First tell me where she is.

She's in the boys' hostel

disguised in a 'purdah'

My daughter is in the Boys' hostel it seems

[SOUND OF A BANSHEE HOWLING]

I opened up both the gates.

Even a lorry can exit.

You can start now.

Close your eyes and pray.

Father.

What's happening?

She is ready now.

Ask her where she has come from?

- Ready?

- Is this some race?

Ask her.

Where are you from?

Tell us.

- Please tell us.

- ANSWER.

Chennai

Chennai it seems, Father.

Ask her name.

Must be Kavitha or Kamala.

Oh God!

Light is flickering.

Letter 'P'

'A'...'R'

'V'...'I'...'N'

Parvin.

Aiyaiyo!

I told you.

She's the one, Father.

Father, I don't know why

Coin moved by itself.

Come... hurry up

[MOBILE RINGING]

Adhirshta Lakshmi

Best time to exit is now.

Make a dash for it.

Ask her what she wants.

- What she's asking... me!

- That's exactly my question.

Who made you 'Father' I wonder?

- No need that question, Father.

- Are you scared?

I'm already voicing my woe.

What do you want?

I told you so, 'S'

'S-A-T-H'

'SATHAP'

Don't you know even now?

Sathappan doomed'

Run for your life.

Who are you?

Wearing a 'purdah' just like me.

AAWWWWW!

[SPOOKY LAUGHTER]

We haven't helped our boss

Not even the slightest bit.

We have to find her daughter.

- Follow me, boys.

- Okay, bro.

Where did you disappear

abandoning me, Interest Indiran?

Hey Adhirshta.

My daughter.

Adhirshta.

'Waaait'

Stop!

I won't let you slip away.

Turn and look at me.

Hey runaway rascal, what's wrong

with the groom I saw for you?

Sorry, you are too late

- I have fixed a groom already.

- Whaaat?

You sound like a parrot

repeating this to me.

What is this new disguise?

Why has your face changed?

When did my face change, man?

Was it my mistake?

Was lifting your 'purdah' a crime?

Ma, sorry, I'm like your father.

Who are you, my dear?

Veiling yourself with a 'purdah'

you are making me wail in pain!

God help me.

Amma... ouch!

[SOUND OF BASHING]

You have ripped me apart.

Hereafter my body

will end up as RIP!

I'll go... one.

Two.

Three.

Some chap disguised as a lady

has beaten our boss to a pulp.

Disguised as a lady?

As if you were a witness.

- Moron!

- Yes, boss.

That was a cuss word 'moron'

I didn't call you by name, moron!

Someone masquerading

as your daughter ripped you to pieces

- I swear I will kill him.

- Cylinder, don't.

Your body can't take it

Don't go inside.

As if I don't know.

You'll pay us only if we work sincerely

Allow us to be sincere, boss.

Follow me, boys.

I warned them and they still went in

waiting to get bonus blows.

Where is that 'purdah' female?

Wasted wastrel!

How dare you beat up our boss!

Who the hell are you?

How many of you will claim to be

boss's henchman and lift my 'purdah'?

Think your ghost disguise

will send us running for cover?

If you change your face and speak

in a base voice, as if we'll get scared?

Look at this loser in 'purdah'

You hit our boss

Try the same tactics with us?

Got scared.

Foolish fellows!

Rubbing salt on to the wound.

- What?

- That isn't our daughter.

- Ghost, boss.

- That's exactly what I said

I warned you not to go

Did you pay heed to my words?

Morons! My fault to have

employed men in 'churidhar'

Adhirshta... my daughter.

Boss, that isn't your Adhirshta.

- Ghost in a 'purdah'

- Whaaat?

I'll pee in your mouth!

The ghost is in here.

That was my daughter.

Go and find her now.

- Ghost hasn't left by now?

- She should have gone by now.

- That's the plan.

- Plan, huh?

Why do you keep using

this word 'plan'?

- How are you linked with that spirit?

- Is that important now?

Ghost has to be exorcised

Shut up, Father.

- Father.

- Sorry, Sathappa.

Ask if the ghost is in or out?

She will go automatically.

- No, huh?

- Oh no!

Ghost is attacking us here

Run for your life

[FLURRY OF FRIGHTENED VOICES]

I'm your boss here Open the door.

- Won't you shut up?

- Boss, why are you hitting me?

I pay you, right?

Open the door.

Open the door, damn you.

Looks like she's coming back.

Sit... sit down.

- Looks like she is coming.

- Lie low, pipe down.

Boss, I feel I have to download

I already did.

No, boss, you got me wrong

I can't hold my fart any longer.

Wait for 5 minutes please

I'll pay you Rs 500.

Even if you double that amount

I can't control it, boss

I'll hold it in for you

[LOUD FART]

She was leaving silently

You sounded her with your bomb.

Did I do it on purpose?

It automatically got released in tension.

She is equally in 'tension' mode.

Bend down

[LOUDER FART]

My hand is numb

touched by the foul gas!

Boss.

I'm so sorry, boss.

Why are you apologizing,

my dear boy?

My favorite pet!

You backfired even a ghost

and sent her backing out.

Sackful of garlic granted

every month as anti-gas remedy.

Thank God we managed

to send her in one piece.

- Look here.

- Hey!

What are you doing

dilly-dallying here?

- Go soon.

- Where do I go?

Till my vow is fulfilled I won't go.

Have you taken a vow to torture us?

Adhirshta Lakshmi

Our respect stops here.

Are you deaf or what?

Standing still like a ghost?

Reserve some kicks for him.

Is this Adhirshta Lakshmi?

She isn't our normal intruder.

Paranormal immigrant!

- That means?

- GHOST!

Oh my ghost!!

This is all the respect

she deserves, I'll chase her.

- Sathappa, come with me.

- No, I'm not coming.

- Take Kadhir if you like.

- Leave me out.

Bloody timid chickens!

You can be a bold rooster

for all I care.

Father, somehow save me.

Oh God!

She has come.

Father, save me from that savage spirit.

Show the Holy Cross.

Pour the Holy water on her face

She will run for her life!

Yov! Standing like a statue

Lunatic Father!

Do something, man.

Leave this place, my dear

I won't go.

Don't be scared

No one will stop you.

Go away from here

I won't go leaving

my 'mama' behind.

She loves calling me 'mama'

I am not 'mama' I am Father.

Being my father, you are ruining

your daughter's life

I am not THAT father

I am church Father.

Why do you split hairs?

Still means you are a parent, right?

Am I not right, 'mama'?

Oh! Again 'mama'!

I am Father.

Yov! Did I talk to you?

What are you doing here?

Go... go, I'll deal with this.

How dare you wink at me

in front of my fiancé?!

You here?

Then who is up there?

There's a real ghost in this hostel.

Ghost?

Oh gawd!

Shoo... shoo!

What 'choo choo'?

Is he driving out

a ghost or a dog?

Father, save me.

If you hadn't disturbed me

I would've rested in peace

uniting with Sathappan.

Is this what you told me yesterday?

Yes, Father.

Couldn't you have been crystal clear?

I said it loud and clear

It didn't sink into your numbskull.

Even now it isn't too late

Enough of being 'Father'

Don your retired colonel avatar.

'Finish this ghost with the same hand

that held the gun and killed our foes'

Pour Holy water on that ghost.

This is injustice.

Atrocious.

How can a ghost and a man mate?

Even if I'm a ghost

I'm also a girl.

You seem like a spirit to my eyes.

No one can prevent

my union with my beloved.

Daaarling... here I come.

How will you cross him and come?

Gentle words won't work with you.

Go away from here, Satan.

Go away from here.

What is my name?

Pa... Pa... Parvin.

Why are you showing this to me?

This will reduce you to ashes.

Splash it all over her

Let her smoulder to smoke.

'You'll die Good riddance'

'Sprinkle it all over her'

'Be generous'

Drinking Holy water

like our distilled water

[LOUD BURP]

"'Father, was it really

remedial water?"

Gentle treatment

won't work with you either.

I AM A RETIRED COLONEL

Sathappa, save me.

Father, first save me from her.

Don't underestimate Father.

He will squeeze Satan

like sweetlime and make lemonade.

Spirits like you, he will pickle to pieces.

He won't make me a prey to your lust.

'What do you say, Father?'

Good Lord!

Don't try your Vittalacharya antics

with him, 'purdah' Parvin.

You'll be reduced to ashes

in Father's hands.

Sorry, darling.

Sorry, huh?

Hey!

Father, what happened?

'Jesus, save me'

When those boys spewed filmy dialogs

of drought and river flowing

I anticipated this disaster.

'Father, I hope you aren't hurt'

We have to mate and

consummate our union tonight.

If anyone prevents it.

Whether father, grandfather, Godfather.

Big father, whoever steps into my space.

MASS MASSACRE!

Where is my 'mama'?

I am not who you think

I am Father.

I will myself do the honors.

Father, she rolled you

down the stairs too.

Sathappa, are you hiding here?

Kindly don't tell her I'm here

I will fall at your feet if need be.

You pinned me into her web.

She is making an entry

like a hero to hit on me.

What the hell?

Where is my 'mama'?

- Traitor!

- Bear the pain for 2 minutes.

Didn't you get me caught?

Now it is tit for tat.

Don't... don't, Father.

Please spare me Leave me alone.

That Sathappan you were

looking for is in there.

- 'Mama'

- Go, ma.

Father, you call yourself

God's messenger and betray me?

- Maaama!

- 'Lord Rama!'

Are you here?

'Father'

'You shut the door on me

just because she twisted your leg'

What will I do now?

Were you hiding, dear?

You can't escape from me, my dear man.

Don't you feel sorry for me?

How can we make out

if I feel sorry for you?

Jesus Christ, my Lord.

Save Sathappan.

This is what is meant by

ghostly ghastly union?

Beloved, why are you

in such a tearing hurry?

Hurry, huh?

- Let's do it again.

- Can't take it.

Hey!

What are you doing here?

You left this behind

I thought I'll return it in person.

You came all the way for this?

What else?

Nothing else?

Nothing else

I checked my room fully.

You didn't leave anything else.

Okay.

Bye.

I have to come back home

with my vow unfulfilled! Cha!

Why is the front door open?

Boss, maybe your daughter is back?

Daughter or monster

Likelihood of neither.

Must be a thief, boss.

Rinse your jinxed mouth!

My child would have come back

because she loves me so much.

Adhirshta... my dear 'lucky' mascot.

'You came looking for me

I came back home promptly'

Back to our home, sweet home.

Are you up in your room?

I'm coming right now.

Your dad and his thugs are back

What do we do now?

'Adhirshta'

'My dear daughter'

Where are you go-

Where do I hide?

- 'Have you slept, dear?'

- Gawddd!

- Tell me a safe place.

- Sssssh!

Hide under my cot.

You want ME to go down under!

Didn't I do the same

in your hostel?

My room is much cleaner, hide.

'I will take good care of you, dear'

If I hide now

when will I get out?

'My precious gem'

Early morning 3'o clock

when everyone is fast asleep.

You can go home
