Run (2020) - full transcript

On their wedding anniversary Sundeep is waiting at a restaurant for his wife Shruti to arrive. But in a shocking turn of events, she is dead. Is it a murder or a suicide?

'Hi Sandeep, what are you
deep in thought about?'

When we are in love
it is just the 2 of us

But our future
if we get married...

...our families play an important role

I was able to give you
everything as a lover but-

As your husband, to give you
the safety net of a family

I don't have anyone

Listen, Sandeep

The love you shower
on me as a single man

...no big family can substitute

I'm always there for you
Don't ever say you don't have anyone



From now on, it isn't you and me

It is us, 'we'

We are 'family'

We don't need anyone else

I am happy with
just you in my life

Let us get married

Cheers!
I love you

I love you too

"Thanks to you and only you"

"I am alive, my love so true"

"Won't you come to me, dear?
My heart is yours forever sincere"

"My dear soul, stay with me, here"

"Every moment in time
I spend with you sublime"

"Belongs to me when you are mine"



"This bond with you like this"

"You and I all these days in bliss"

"My eyes consider it a blessing
to see you again and again, darling"

"I can't be without you, never
You are my equal half forever"

"My mind knows that is totally true
My thoughts will never go beyond you"

"Each and every memory treasured
Swirls only around you, rest assured"

Sunil

Sunil, pass me the auto sys file

Thanks

Sunil, backup of the auto sys files
and extension files are on my desktop

Dude, this is your presentation
at the meeting, why give it to me now?

- I've got a lunch date I can't miss
- Lunch date, huh?

- With Vandana?
- No, bro

With Shruthi

We know you love your wife very much
but why miss this important meeting?

Today is our wedding anniversary

- Congrats, man
- Thank you

But I forgot about it this morning

You can be punished in any which way!

She didn't punish me
Just wanted a lunch date

- If I don't go now, imagine my fate then?
- Don't say another word

A date is a lesser punishment
than a divorce, bro

- Go, I'll take care
- Thanks

And by the way convey my wishes to Shruthi

- Sure
- Enjoy your lunch, bro

Not picking my call

- Drive faster
- Yes, sir

'From office she has
gone to the restaurant'

Cha! I am late

How are you, sir?

- Has Shruthi come?
- Not yet

You can take
your regular table

- I'll send the server over
- Yeah, thanks

- Good morning, sir
- Hi

- Hello, sir
- Hi

- Greetings, sir
- Hi

Madam will join you I believe

Shall I order madam's favorite dish?

- Go ahead
- Okay, sir

'Excuse me'

'Sandeep Reddy is here?'

Hi Sandeep

I'm Rosy

Hi, er-

You are?

I am Shruthi's colleague

Shruthi hasn't come with you?

No

She hasn't come?

She's busy at work

She asked me
to give you this letter

Bye

[mobile rings]

Tell me, aunty

'Sandeep, where are you?
Come home at once'

Why, aunty?
Why do you sound flustered?

'Shruthi is dead'

Sir, he is Sandeep

Sandeep, stop right here

We haven't finished our investigation

Please try to understand

Sandeep, control yourself

- Sandeep
- Shruthi...!

Control yourself

- Listen to me
- Sandeep, stop

Sandeep!

Sandeep

Control...control

Shruthi...my daughter

Wait

This isn't a natural death

Kindly cooperate
till we complete our investigation

Blood is still wet, sir

Approximately 4 hours
since she was murdered

And when she was killed
victim has struggled a lot

Yes, sir

Assailant was really strong

So you are sure it is a murder?

Of course it's a murder

What was the need for Shruthi
to commit suicide now, aunty?

How do you know it was a suicide?

How can you be so sure
this is a suicide, Sandeep?

Actually today is our
wedding anniversary, sir

We wanted to have lunch together

Shruthi said she would meet me
directly in the restaurant, sir

Maybe she left office early today?

Or maybe she didn't even go to her office?

No, sir, she went

No, sir, Shruthi madam
didn't go to work today

She herself told me

I'm not going to work
I've taken off

Take your time
Come in the afternoon

Okay, madam

No, sir, look at this proof

She went to work for sure

She sent this letter
through her friend for me, sir

Can't stay with you anymore

Good

So you are in possession
of your wife's suicide note too!

It isn't that easy

For her to have slit
her own throat like that

Confirmed, this is murder

You didn't commit
this murder, did you?

Is this Shruthi's handwriting?

Yes, it is Shruthi's

If the wife dies, automatically
you suspect only the spouse?

Why would I murder my Shruthi?

Sir...sir, come with me
just once to the restaurant

Everyone saw that lady
You'll know if you come with me

Come, sir
Please come with me

By the way, after all this
why hasn't Sandeep's family come?

Sandeep's family is as good as
not being there, sir

- That means?
- His dad is a business tycoon in Vizag

Sandeep is very fond of fine arts

Painting, drawing, etc

His dad isn't too keen on art

'So he drove Sandeep
out of the house as a kid, sir'

As Shruthi's mother I can vouch for him

Sandeep can't be the murderer

He can't bear Shruthi being hurt
Even the slightest scratch on her

He would have never done this

This is the manager
You can ask him

- Manager, was he here today for lunch?
- Of course

- What happened, sir?
- Then a lady in a red dress came

Remember you pointed to me
and sent her over?

A lady in a red dress?
Sorry, sir

I didn't see anyone like that

Sir, someone has murdered Shruthi

And trying to frame it on me

- Excuse me, sir
- Chintu

- Chintu?
- Sir

Remember you ordered a special dish
when I came here for lunch today?

Yes, I do, sir

Remember a lady in a red dress
spoke to me after that

Red dress...no, sir
I didn't see anyone

Chintu

Go and attend to your work

Something is wrong with you, Mr Sandeep

You seem very disturbed

I know you came here

But I didn't see any lady-

What are you saying, sir?

You needn't vouch for me
CCTV is fixed here

Sir, check that footage
You'll find out for yourself

Sorry, sir
CC camera isn't working

Past 2 weeks we have a technical issue

CC camera isn't working?
Lady in a red dress didn't come here?

Do you know what a terrible plight I am in
trying to prove I didn't kill my wife?

Sir, please tell them the truth

Why are you protecting
that lady in a red dress?

Is there any link between you
and Shruthi's death?

Sandeep!

Reason you brought us here is different
from whatever you are saying now

You better stop it

Listen, Sandeep

You can't cast aspersions
on someone like this

You are unable to prove your story

I'm beginning to suspect you now

If the CC camera was working
you could have seen for yourself, sir

Everything seems to
be against me, sir

The victim is my wife, sir

Please help me, sir

Sorry, Mr Venkat

We seem to have troubled you

Let's move

Sandeep, it would have been ideal
if that lady in red was not fiction

My constables and I are fed up
of running behind criminals

Sandeep, whatever you said
has been proved false

Will you come to the point now?

Or you want us to
treat you in our style?

Sir, please believe me
A lady in a red dress met me here

Better to question you in our station

That lady in red claimed
she was Shruthi's colleague, sir

Let's go to Shruthi's office

Trust me, please

No way Sandeep would have killed Shruthi

Because he isn't the kind
to fight with anyone

'In fact he is quite reserved'

'He is very kind hearted'

If you ask me

...he is the best husband
I have ever seen, sir

Sorry, sub inspector sir
I don't agree with her

'As far as I have observed'

I can't credit Sandeep
to be 'best husband'

Because I have never seen
such a clumsy husband, never in control

I don't understand you

Shruthi is very attractive

And she enjoyed all the males
falling all over her

Knowing all this, if Sandeep
was least bit possessive

A man unable to control
his wife or reprimand her

How can he be soft hearted, sir?

He must be either weak or careless

So what do you think?
Who could have killed her?

I don't know that
but Sandeep didn't kill her

Why do you say so?

Because he's a scaredy-cat

Sir, you don't understand

Sandeep is very naive

More sensitive than women

Hello, where is Rosy?

Rosy

Excuse me...hello!

Rosy

'Sandeep, behave yourself
This is office'

Sir, that lady came here-

Hello, what's going on?

What's happening here?

- I am the branch manager
- Sir, I am Shruthi's husband

- Doesn't a lady by name Rosy work here?
- Yes, she does

Didn't I tell you, she gave me
a letter this morning?

Letter?
Where?

Restaurant, a while ago at lunch

She is busy with client meeting
right from this morning

What are you saying, sir?
I met her personally

Please call her here

Okay, first relax

Relax...relax

- Hello, call Rosy
- Okay, sir

'Mr Sandeep
Rosy here'

Sir, this lady isn't Rosy

I didn't meet this lady

See, Mr Sandeep
She's only Rosy

You can check her ID, man

Sir, you have another Rosy working here?

- Call her, sir
- Only one Rosy works here

- He is lying, sir
- Enough, Sandeep

What is the need for all of them to lie?

You are the one lying to us

And trying to prove it's true, right?

Sir, why should I lie?
My wife is the one who has been killed

- Sir, please call Rosy
- See, Mr Sandeep

My entire staff is here
Please check for yourself

Mr Sandeep, noticing how flustered you are

...I'm getting even more
suspicious of you

As far as I know
Shruthi didn't come to work today

She's on leave

- Leave?
- Yes

She mailed yesterday
saying she is taking off today

'Yes, bro'

Shruthi didn't come to the office today

When I spoke to her, she said she was
meeting Aneendra in the morning

And she had planned to have lunch with you

Aneendra

We are meeting for lunch today

Couples usually plan to go out
for dinner on their anniversary

My mom has invited us for dinner

That's why lunch

I may not be able to make it, baby

I have a client meeting
Please try to understand

Every time you come up with
an excuse like this and skip it

You never spend time with me

Okay, we'll have lunch together

That too, in your favorite restaurant

'# you have called is switched off'

Mr Kamal, I need some
information about Shruthi

Her behavior, timings

'Her reaction to the police
Will you tell us the details?'

Hello, Sandeep
Where are you?

- Everything is okay, right?
- Not okay

Someone has murdered Shruthi
and is trying to frame me

Is that so?
How do you know?

I have my doubts on these police officers
Bharath and Shankar Reddy

They seem over familiar with the managers
in Shruthi's office and the restaurant

Calling them by their first names

- I am very suspicious
- What? Are you sure?

Sandeep didn't attend office today?

Hey! I'll call you back

- Sir
- Hello-

You've been lying all along
and wasted our precious time

Sir, I'm not lying, someone has
given you wrong information

Please come with me to my office
I swear I went to work today, sir

Please come and you'll know

- Be alert
- Ravi

- Sir
- Any information?

Yes, sir, we have
unlocked Shruthi's phone

Sandeep has called her 5 times
after she was dead, sir

But what is more interesting is...

...Shruthi has called Aneendra
18 times before her death, sir

Who is this Aneendra?

Sandeep's friend, sir

'I need all the information
about him also'

Oh hello! Move your butt
What are you thinking about now?

Hatching another plan?

Move it

Sir, this is his mail
applying for leave today

He didn't come in
to work today, sir

I didn't come?!
Call Sunil

Is anyone by name Sunil
present here at least?

I met him this morning and
even gave him my presentation, sir

He is lying, sir
Come with me, sir

Sir, Sunil is here

Sunil...didn't I come this morning?

I gave you my laptop
before going out for lunch?

- Tell them
- Cool, dude, calm down

Are you high on dope or what?

You didn't even come here today

What are you saying?!

You said you had some urgent work to do

I even typed out
your leave application

Sir, he is lying through his teeth

- Return my laptop
- Which laptop?

Hey! My lap-

Look how he is over reacting, sir

He has my password, sir

Enough, Sandeep
Stop your melodrama

We've given a patient hearing
to all your lies and drama

Come to the station

Get into our car

You are a clever manipulator
pretending to be innocent

You know when to act naive
and get sympathy accordingly

'Now it's clear'

That you are the murderer!

Sir?

Go now

Come

Move

Move your butt

Come on-

Hey Sandeep, don't repeat
the same mistake here

- Let her go
- Sandeep, no

Listen to me
Don't do this

Sandeep...no

- Sandeep, listen
- Let her go

Stop!

Hey Sandeep!

Stop, Sandeep

Sandeep, sit
Hurry up

[siren wailing]

Actually who are you?

Asking you
Who are you?

I took all the trouble of
stealing this bike and saving you

Instead of thanking me
why all these questions?

Khaleel, you always save me
when I am in trouble

Khaleel, police!
Let's go

Search thoroughly
We shouldn't miss him

Sir, his bike is here

Yes, this is his bike

- He must be inside
- Let's go and check

Search...search

- We missed him, sir
- He is very smart

He has parked his bike here
just to mislead us

Come on, let's move

Under no circumstances
should we miss him

Why did you throw the phone out?
I was trying to reach Aneendra

Enough of messing up
from this morning

- Don't talk like a lunatic now
- What's wrong?

Don't you know the police can easily
track your calls if you switch it on?

Wonder where he escaped

- One of his friends must be in the loop
- Yes, sir

He would've helped him

- We have to catch him
- Yes, sir

What happened?
Why did you stop?

No one will come here

This is my den, come in

Hey Sandeep

Come on, man

Trust me, no one will come
looking for us here

Come on in

Come in, this is my secret hideout

You can relax here with no worries

No one will dare touch you here

'Come'

Yes...relax

I'll handle everything from now on

Care for a drink, huh?

Let's both have a shot

'Imported vodka'

'For special occasions like this'

Khaleel, cops may follow me here

Hey! That's dangerous

I love to play with danger

I'm so happy today

I'm so happy you killed that bitch

How dare you!

Calling my wife a bitch?

You are the one who killed her

You killed that bitch

I didn't kill her

I love my wife

She was your wife

'Was' as in past tense

You have killed her

No, I didn't kill her

Who else would have
other than you?

You mean to say I killed her?

If you raise your voice
everyone will hear, that's it

But no one will believe you

You are the murderer
till you prove you are innocent

Only the man who kills
will be on the run

You are totally screwed up

Sir, there's no necessity
for Sandeep to kill his wife

You are suspecting him
without any reason

Stop it, Ranjani

How can I not defend Sandeep?

Stop it now

Sir, if you don't mind

- I need to talk to her personally
- Sure

'Okay'

Come in for a minute

He's always like this
Forever suspicious!

So annoying

Why are you talking like a lunatic?

The police will figure out
about Sandeep's involvement

Stop showing your soft corner
for him, got it?

You are the one behaving
like a lunatic

Sandeep is your friend

Instead of being concerned for him
you are misunderstanding me

Your behavior gives wrong signals
as if Shruthi's death is to your advantage

If Sandeep had died
isn't it to your advantage?

You and your big mouth!

Disgusting fellow!

Sir, actually there has been some minor
disturbances between Sandeep and Shruthi

'Sir'

It is quite common for
any couple to have minor tiffs

But it isn't right to make it
sound like major rifts

They were always-

Harini madam, wait

What is the rift?

Sir, I know a person who can be
of great help in this case

He can provide you
with maximum information

In this entire case

One man has been elusive

Aneendra

Being his friend if he hasn't turned up
after all this has happened

Something is wrong

I need to go to Aneendra's house right now

Something is happening
without my knowledge

Relax for the night
You can go tomorrow

No, I have to go now

Sandeep...wait

Hey! Who are you?

How did you get Shruthi's note?

Hey! I am asking you

Why is everyone trying
to keep you hidden from me?

Tell me

Don't trust that guy

What?!

Don't trust him

He will let you down

Hey! Stop

Bloody bitch!
Stop the car

Fucking female!

Bloody bitch!

Who is she?

Who?

Rosy...the lady who gave me the letter

Letter, huh?

What did she tell you?

What did she tell you about me?

She told me not to trust you

That's why I told you
All girls are bitches

All women with no exceptions

That's why I hate women

Come on

Is Baba there?

Sandeep?

How are you, my dear?
Ages since I saw you

What's up?

You look troubled?

I am okay
Can you give my room key?

I'll open it for you, wait

Khaleel?

- Khaleel?
- Khaleel, huh?

He came with me

He will come of his own accord
Let's go to your room

Forever fiddling with your mobile!
Why can't you study?

Come, sit down

What happened to you, son?

What is bothering you?

Why are you so perturbed?

Please tell me

Someone killed Shruthi, Baba

And wants to frame me

[sniffles]

A lady gave me a note from Shruthi

Now they are saying
there's no such lady

Claiming the CCTV footage didn't work
they are trying to frame me, Baba

I don't understand any of this

Don't worry
Lie down now

We will tackle this tomorrow

Rest up

'I can't stay with you anymore'

[thumping on door]

[thumping continues]

Son of a gun!

Did you think you could
escape from my clutches?

I won't spare you

You can't escape from me now

You deserve this encounter

- Run, son
- Let me go

I'll handle him
Get away from here

- Let go of me
- Escape, son, go

Sandeep, stop

Hey Sandeep

Stop

Come on, fast
Start the car

Follow his car

Sandeep...Sandeep

Stop

Sandeep, get into my car

Listen to me

Sandeep, get onto my bike

Don't listen to him
Get into my car

You just shut up

Shut up, bloody female
Don't listen to her

- Get on to my bike
- 'Get into my car'

Go fast

Don't listen to her
All women are bitches

You come with me

Sandeep, wait

Shruthi?

Why did you do this?

You always share
everything with me

Why did you commit suicide now?

- Tell me
- He killed me!

He didn't like us living
under the same roof, Sandy

Who?

Khaleel

My dear boy
Drink this coffee

Did Khaleel come here?

He came after you had slept

He created such a ruckus asking me
to wake you up, I refused point blank

He is a bit weird

You be on your guard with him

Saw this, Ravi?
His house # is 302

Yes, sir

Section 302 murder case

Come on, let's search

- Don't miss the details
- Yeah

- Ravi?
- Sir

See this

Aunty, I need to talk to you

- Sandeep
- Open the door, aunty

Let me come in
I want to talk to you

Come to the swimming pool
I'll meet you there

She meant the world to me, aunty
Now she has left this world and me

I have no one now, aunty

Sandeep, we are all there for you

Don't ever think you are all alone, okay?

Aunty, did Shruthi tell you
anything about Aneendra?

No, she has never
discussed him with me

[mobile ringing]

- Hello?
- Aunty, I'm Aneendra speaking

Aneendra

Turn on 'speaker' mode

- Tell me
- Sorry, aunty

Very sorry

Why didn't you attend the funeral
and at least see Shruthi one last time?

I had some urgent work and
I had to rush to Vizag yesterday

'That's why I couldn't come'

Aunty, I need to tell you something

Tell me

I don't know if Shruthi has
shared this with you or not

Both you and the police need to know this

Police?

What is this information?

You mean Shruthi didn't
tell you anything, huh?

Regarding Sandeep

No, what is it?

I'll tell you in person, aunty

Ask him to tell you now

- Tell me
- No, aunty

I'll tell you in person

Insist on knowing now

Tell me right now, Aneendra

Aunty, is someone with you?

No, go ahead, tell me

Sandeep is with you, right?

Shit!

Why are you so eager to know
what he has to say?

Shruthi has called Aneendra
18 times yesterday before she died

Whaaat?

The police found out
when they checked Shruthi's phone

Sister, are you in there?

Police officers are here to talk to you

They have come here
looking for me, aunty

Go this way and escape

What is the matter, sir?

We came to confirm
a piece of news with you

- Tell me
- Were they planning to have a baby?

- Do you know anything?
- Whaaat?!

Why are you so shocked?

We found a pregnancy kit in her bathroom

Impossible!

Why is it impossible?

This is a natural outcome after marriage

Sir, no chance of Shruthi being pregnant

She doesn't have uterus!

Aiyo amma!
Are you sitting here?

I've been looking for you
all over the house

What has happened now?
Why are you so upset?

You won't understand
even if I tell you

Amma, I know everything

Take this also in a positive way

No uterus means no tumor

And no periods

Don't you know how much I suffer
with cramps during my periods?

Now I can be carefree

I was brooding over the fact
how I can find a suitable groom for you

Aiyo! Amma, there must be a man out there
who'll understand my health issue and me

To fall in love is
to understand each other

No one would have been
more understanding than Sandeep

Even I couldn't have found
a better match for my daughter

In fact we met a groom earlier on

But when he knew
about her health issue

...he rejected her

After this rejection
Sandeep walked into Shruthi's life

'I love Shruthi very much, aunty'

I just want her to share my life
I don't want anything else

You don't understand, Sandeep
She can never conceive

You won't be blessed with
a baby who will call you 'dad'

But won't I share
a lifetime with her, aunty?

Please, ma, accept his proposal

- Shruthi
- We can always adopt if we want a baby

Shruthi won't be just my wife, aunty

I'll cherish her as my breath!

Shruthi may have found out
Sandeep is having an affair

Not wanting that matter to leak out
Sandeep may have killed Shruthi

It's very clear

Did you kill Shruthi?

Is this your own doubt?

Or did someone create this idea?

Shruthi told me in my dream last night

You ended up confused to such an extent
you are believing even your dream

If you tell this to anyone
they will brand you a lunatic!

Do you know why you dreamt like that?

That wasn't 'just a dream'

Shruthi featured in it

She speaks only the truth to me

Dreams don't come true

You are mentally disturbed
because of your wife's demise

You've been thinking
of only that all the time

Remember this, Sandeep

Whatever troubles us in reality

...will feature in our sleep

At that same time
bloody bitch Rosy

She has the gall to warn you
not to trust me!

So your brain is working overtime
and going viral now

But you dislike Shruthi, right?

I dislike all women!

But I can't go around
killing all the females, right?

What are you deep in thought about?
Take that phone from the dashboard

Do you know Aneendra's #?

[mobile ringing]

- Hello?
- Aneendra, I am Sandeep

I need to talk to you urgently

Regarding what?

You wanted to tell
Shruthi's mother something

Tell me about it
Please, what is it?

I'll tell the police

Aneendra, please
You are hiding something from me

She has called you 18 times
before she passed away

What was the matter?
Aneendra, tell me

Did you and Shruthi have an affair?

You've really gone bonkers

Yes, I have lost it

If you were in my shoes
you would react the same way

Please, Aneendra, tell me

Sandeep, you are really sick

Whatever I say now
will go above your head

I must go to the police now
I'll talk to you later

Hello...Aneendra

Aneendra!

Hello...Aneendra

If you are so soft and naive
no one will give you any answers

If you change your style of interrogation
you will automatically get your answers

Means what?

How do you know Aneendra's house?

That is not important now

You go and find out the truth
before he goes to the police

Get down, go in

- Hello
- Hello Aneendra

I am sub inspector Ravi Varma speaking

- Are you in your house?
- Yes, sir, I was coming to meet you

No...no
You don't come

Stay right there
I am coming over now

Okay, sir
Come soon

'Aneendra?'

Sandeep?

Sandeep?!

Hello...Aneendra

Aneendra, is Sandeep at your place?

Sandeep?
Where are you?

Hello, Aneendra
Are you there?

Hello

Sandeep

'Aneendra'

Sandeep

I know you are here

Sandeep

I know you are right here
You had better show your face

Aneendra

Come on...come on
Fast...move

Bharath sir, come immediately
to Aneendra's house

Sandeep

Sandeep

Aneendra...Aneendra

Who did this to you?

I'll take care of you
Don't be scared

Sandeep!

I'll take you to the hospital
I'm here for you

Aneendra

[siren wailing]

Shit!

Sandeep

Oh my God!

Sandeep must be here
Search thoroughly

Come on...fast

Khaleel!

Sir

Sir...!

Khaleel?

Sandeep, hurry up
Get into the car

What are you doing here?

Cops will catch you
Get into the car

We can talk later

You first get down

- The police will nab you
- You get down now

Get in fast
The cops are here

Sir, Sandeep escaped

Sir, look at this
Sandeep!

This is proof Sandeep has murdered Aneendra

Speed up

I told you to get down
Why did you come here?

If you wander around
in this blood stained shirt

...the police will nab you easily
First change your shirt

- Even I took off my shirt
- Why did you take it off?

I killed someone

What? You killed someone?
Whom did you kill?

Why get into that now?
Focus on the road and drive

- Tell me
- My friend's father

His father was hitting him with
a bat and I lost my cool

I grabbed the wicket
and banged his forehead

I kept hitting him
till he bled to death

- Get out of the car
- I'll get down but you take this

Cover yourself with this, or else
you'll get caught by the police easily

Hey! Get down

Radhakrishna
6th Avenue

King George street

Do you recognize this address?

No, I have no idea

Do you know where Sandeep lived
before he married your daughter?

That was-

- Ravi...?
- Sir?

We got the information

Old City

Laad Bazaar

Baba Hostel

Go and enquire there

[mobile ringing]

- Hello
- Sandeep

Baba, I'm busy now
I'll talk to you later

'Please listen to me'

You can lead a happy life

That Aneendra who was troubling you

I finished him off

You're the one who killed Aneendra?

Why are you troubling Sandeep?

You shouldn't be alive
You have to die now

- Be happy now
- Where are you?

'Hostel'

No, please don't harm me

Baba, you good for nothing lout!

Why did you murder Aneendra, huh?

Baba...!

Baba...?

Where is Baba?

I won't spare you today

Baba...!

Otherwise I'll kill you right now

Tell me, why did you kill Aneendra?

Why did you do it?

Sandeep, move

Why did you kill him?

I won't let anyone hassle you

Whatever I do
is only for your good

Will you kill anyone and everyone?

He's such a troublemaker!

He brews trouble wherever he comes
Should we stay or leave?

Does it mean you killed Shruthi?
Did you kill my wife?

Tell me, did you kill Shruthi?

Aren't you the one who killed Shruthi?

- Sandeep, let him go
- Tell me the truth

Hello, police station?

I am calling from
Baba Hostel, Laad Bazaar

There's disturbance in our hostel

Send your policemen over immediately

Hey! Did you murder my Shruthi?

- Did you kill her?
- Listen to me, son

Sandeep, he'll die
Don't strangle him

Sandeep, he will die
Let go of him

Are you out of your mind?
Let go of him

You killed Aneendra?

Sandeep, let go

Mad or what?
Have you lost your mind?

Do you know what you are doing?

In order to prove
you haven't killed 1 person

...you're becoming a serial killer!

'In the end you killed Baba who raised you
like his own son from when you were a kid'

Finally you are becoming a murderer

'How many more people will you kill?'

'How many times can I save you?'

Initially you said I killed Shruthi

Now it is Baba

In the middle you suspected Aneendra

Remember this, Sandeep

Suspicion is more dangerous than truth

Why would Baba kill Shruthi? Tell me

That means Baba didn't kill Shruthi?

NO

But we must find out who killed her

I don't know what I am doing
because of my love for Shruthi

Right from my childhood he always
understood my pain even if I didn't open up

But when you were about to say something
I paid no attention and killed you, Baba

I don't understand
what I'm doing, Baba

Control, Sandeep

This wasn't a deliberate act

It was an impulsive emotional reaction

We must escape from here
Hurry up, Sandeep

'Leave this place'

- Sandeep, open the door
- Someone has come

I know you are inside

You can't escape from me

Sandeep, the police is here

Get up...let's go, come

Sandeep

We got a complaint
about some fight here

But everything looks normal

They were yelling till now, sir

They just quietened down

How many are there?

No idea, sir

But he yelled out 'Baba'
as he went up the stairs

- Go
- Please come, sir

Sandeep

Sandeep

Open the door

Hey, stop the car

Sandeep, let's go

Get in
Let's move

Unnecessarily I killed Baba

Shhh...don't talk here

[mobile ringing]

- Hello...?
- Hello

Hello Ranjani, this is Sandeep

Sandeep?
Where are you?

Do you know what is happening here?

Aneendra is dead!

I know, it was Baba who killed Aneendra

Baba? Who is this Baba?

He took care of me in the hostel
when I was a kid

He is very fond of me

He did it for me

Sandeep, do you know anyone
by name Radhakrishna?

Radhakrishna?

Doesn't ring a bell, why?

- 'Not that'
- Give it to me

Hello madam, Sandeep is in danger

'He is getting himself into
a bigger mess by the hour'

'He needs a safe place immediately'

- Can you arrange any shelter for him?
- 'Who are you?'

Please, Ranjani
I need a place to stay

At least for tonight

Yeah, okay...okay

My mother has gone to Tirupati

You come to my mother's house

Okay, Ranjani

- Thank you
- Okay, see you

- Hello
- Rahul

I have to go for a party
I'll be home late tonight

Party?

Why party at this time?

I am feeling low

So my friends called
and I'm going

'Let's try to be normal'

Rahul, it's very annoying if you keep
suspecting me for everything everyday

Whatever I say will annoy you
but I shouldn't be bugged with you, right?

I don't want to argue
and spoil my mood further

'If it gets late
I'll stay there tonight'

Order your dinner through Swiggy

Okay? Bye

Wily-nily female!
Lying through her teeth

Come on, Sandeep

- Thank you, Ranjani
- It's okay

By the way, who was with you?

My friend Khaleel

He had some work
So he got down on the way

He saved me from the police

He has been saving me

Okay, come

Sandeep, you freshen up

I'll dish up some dinner by then

Thanks

Khaleel will be calling me, I'll keep it

Verifying the address you gave me

Radhakrishna Kakarlamudi
a psychiatrist lives there

Sir

Ravi

Radhakrishna Kakarlamudi

He's a psychiatrist

Psychiatrist?

Get an appointment for tomorrow morning

- We will meet the doctor
- Okay, sir

We need to go to the doctor today

Please, Sandeep, you have to come

'Hello'

He is fast asleep

If you come now
we can get him

Otherwise he'll leave in the morning

Come fast

We can take him to
Dr Radhakrishnan

Okay

What is the connection
between Kamal and Ranjani?

Excuse me...hello?

Hello...hi-

Sandeep, get in
Don't waste time thinking

Kamal will come anytime

Come on

Hey! Why did you bring me here?

- Why did Shruthi give you the letter?
- Why are you asking me?

Don't you know?

[mobile ringing]

- Aren't you Sandeep?
- Yes

And you?

Hi, I am Dr Radhakrishna Kakarlamudi

Psychiatrist

Psychiatrist

Don't be worried

We have never met

- I've seen your photo in Shruthi's mobile
- Okay

She said she would
bring you over to meet me

Why would she want me to meet you?

To make you realize
you have a problem

I have no problem
You are lying

Sandeep, relax

I was about to say the same

You have absolutely no problem

Problem is with Shruthi

What is her problem?

- What are you saying?
- She has schizophrenia

You mean to say my Shruthi is mad?

Sandeep, try to understand the situation

- And start a new life
- What new life?

What do you mean 'new life'?
There's no life without Shruthi

Life without her is no life!

I'll tell the police
about Shruthi's problem

You will be safe

'Go somewhere and be happy'

'Believe me
Don't trust anyone'

'I will save you'

By the way, do you know anyone
by name Radhakrishna?

You mean Dr Radhakrishna Kakarlamudi?

Yes, I do, I was the one
who introduced her to Shruthi

Really? We must go there immediately, come

Let's go

Khaleel, I must meet
Dr Radhakrishna urgently

Why there?

She claims my Shruthi is mad
I need to have a clear picture

Sandeep, you relax
I'll take care

Khaleel, don't-

'Dr Radhakrishnan'

- What happened?
- Someone attacked the doctor

'He has been badly injured
and rushed to the hospital'

- Sandeep
- Khaleel, what are you doing here?

I'll tell you
Come with me

Hey listen!

Khaleel, stop
Talking to you

Khaleel

Hey, this is for you

Shruthi has proved you are
a lunatic in this document

So you killed the doctor
for this document?

I was so enraged
I wanted to kill her

But I didn't have to kill her

Rosy warned me not to believe you

You are a dangerous fellow!

Why am I dangerous?

You murdered Baba

You are the dangerous fellow

No, you are not my friend

I get into more trouble because of you

- Fuck you!
- Get lost!

- 'Constable
- Sir?'

Urgent, take him to the hospital

- Come, sir
- Please go

Kamal, be on your guard

We shouldn't forget anything

All of you should be alert

Kamal, let's scoot from here

Whatever I say-

Ranjani

- What are you both doing here?
- We have an appointment, sir

For both of you?

Seeing you both together
I'm getting really suspicious

Come, before the doctor gets
First Aid treatment and returns

...I need some clarity

Looking at you both,
there's something fishy!

Come

Don't worry, let's go

Hey! Who are you?

You did the right thing
by throwing away the file

Now no one can identify you

But who are you?

You belong to Khaleel's gang?
Or Ranjani's gang?

Aneendra's or Kamal's gang?

Why are you framing me
for my wife's murder?

- Who are you all?
- Sandeep, I'm trying to help you

Indeed, all of us are trying to help you

I don't need any of your help

Tell me now

How are you both connected?

Why did you come here?

For Sandeep's sake, sir

Kamal...!

We don't gain anything
by hiding facts any longer

Hiding won't get you any solution

'Someone should tell the truth'

Otherwise only suspicions will increase
and nothing will be solved

I will have to blurt out
the whole truth then

That's better for you too

But can't confess everything, can we?

Think twice before you speak

Stop it

First tell me everything you know

Otherwise I will extract it
in my own police style

Let me call your husband Rahul

Sir, Sandeep needs help

Can you be more specific?

Sir, actually yesterday
when Sandeep called me

I felt someone else grabbed the phone
from him and spoke to me

'Give it to me'

'Hello, madam
Sandeep is in danger'

But the voice resembled Sandeep

I was a little suspicious right then

'He needs a safe place immediately'

'Can you arrange
any shelter for him?'

After that when Sandeep came over
wanting to clear my doubt...

I asked him about the person
who spoke to me over the phone

- 'By the way, who was with you?
- Khaleel, my friend'

'He had some work
Got down on the way'

Then he took his mobile
and called up Khaleel

I became suspicious again

I checked the number
in Sandeep's mobile

Sir, this is the present #
Sandeep is using

The number Sandeep called me from

'The number he called Khaleel'

Both are same

What are you implying now?

What I understand after noting all this

In reality Khaleel doesn't exist at all

Sandeep is Khaleel

Sandeep, stop

Sandeep, I need to talk to you

Wait for me, Sandeep

Start the car

- Hurry up
- Wait-

Speed up
Don't stop

Do you realize what you're saying?

You said he called up some # and
then you say there is no such person

Do you both want to
make a fool out of me?

Sir, listen fully to what I'm saying

Then the pieces will fit
properly into your puzzle

Actually he said the person
who killed Aneendra

...was Baba who lived
in the same hostel with Sandeep

'It was Baba who killed Aneendra'

'Who is this Baba?'

'He took care of me in the hostel
when I was a kid'

'He is very fond of me'

Sir, before we came here

...we got the hostel address from
Shruthi's mother and we went there

When we went and enquired
we found there's no one by name Baba

- Tell me, my dear boy
- Baba?!

I know you have a soft corner for Sandeep

I think you want to let him escape
by spinning yarns like this to me

But I won't leave him

You can come up with any story
But I won't believe you

'You have to believe!'

What they told you is true

Hey...you-
Stop the car

Where do you want to go?
I'll drop you

Stop, I want to get down

To explain Sandeep's situation

Shruthi came and met me

She told me how perturbed she was
by Sandeep's behavior

So often I just don't
understand Sandeep one bit

'Sometimes he takes good care of me'

'Sometimes he behaves
as if he hates the sight of me'

Am I unable to understand him?

Or isn't he able to understand me?

I really don't know

I feel so lost sometimes

I get scared

I don't know why I'm even alive

Sandeep is a case of
multiple personality disorder

DID

We call it Dissociative Identity Disorder

It's accrued in a state of schizophrenia

'In certain occasions he will step
into another person's shoe'

Yes, even I have observed that

- Actually
- Kamal

Let me speak

When Sandeep came
to drop Shruthi at work

Kamal got introduced to Sandeep

From then on, they developed
interest towards each other

That's how a relationship
blossomed between them

How did you know so clearly
about his multiple personalities?

Sir, actually we are very close

He will keep mentioning a name

What the hell, you bloody bastard?

What business do you have with Sandeep?

Don't try to act smart with Khaleel

Each day a different name

He will behave according to that name

You are still thinking about him, baby

About that Khaleel, huh?

Forget him

I'm there for you

Who are you now?

Your darling Rosy

'I thought it was some kind of
role play game of his'

But gradually...one day

Where is that bastard?

Who are you today?

Just answer only my question

Whom are you asking about now?

Where is that bastard Sandeep?

Was he searching for his own self?

Yes, sir
Exactly

Which personality was he on that day?

That day alone he claimed he was
police officer Shankar Reddy

Shankar Reddy, huh?

- Do you know him?
- Sandeep mentioned him once to me

- When?
- He called me

He said Shankar Reddy is
investigating Shruthi's murder case

And Mr Reddy is deliberately
framing him to be the murderer

'I have my doubts on these police officers
Bharath and Shankar Reddy'

'They seem over familiar with the managers
in Shruthi's office and the restaurant'

- No chance
- Why, sir?

No one by name Shankar Reddy
is handling this case

'What are you thinking about now?'

Sandeep

This case is being handled only by me
and sub inspector Ravi Varma

We must somehow nab him this time

SANDEEP!

Hey! Start the car

- Sir
- Yes, Ravi

- Any information?
- Yes, sir

I got the address of Sandeep's family
in Vizag from that paper, sir

- Sandeep's house address?
- Yes, sir

When I enquired about him
to his neighbors

I learnt his father passed away
when Sandeep was a kid

- When he was a kid?
- Yes, sir

The latest information I got,
the killer was not a stranger

- Sandeep himself
- Whaaat?!

Yes, sir, he hit his father with
a cricket stump and killed him

Then he escaped from Vizag

Actually why has he created
so many characters, doctor?

Whenever he thought
he has a problem

...to save himself from that mess

...he will create a new character

To be imprecise

'When his father used to hit him
when he was a kid'

'...he made up his mind
he has to retaliate in the same way'

'But he was unable to'

- Father, don't hit me
- Listen

- No, dad
- My dear, don't

- Will you kill him?
- Shut up!

- You've spoilt him
- Is this how you punish?

Be kind and loving

Gawd!

Oh my dear!

That little boy is a figment of
his imagination of his own childhood

After he escaped and landed here

He felt he had no one
to shower love and care on him

'But how will you feel if you had
someone to love you unconditionally?'

'From that thought
emerged the character of'

'Baba'

Baba was always by his side and
attending to every single need of his

That's how he created that character

Right...right

Even that hostel owner
mentioned Baba to us

To delve deep into uncontrollable
rage, anger and suspicion

And flush these strong emotions out
he needed an assertive character

So...to exhibit that anger and
fury he fashioned out Khaleel

Whenever he needed to be
rescued from a royal mess

...Khaleel will appear from nowhere

Sandeep was very fond of children

But knowing he can never have
babies through Shruthi

...he imagined himself to be a woman

...through whom he can have babies
and be a happy family and loving father

That's how Rosy came to life in his mind

Looks complicated

But seems to be true

We deciphered, the pregnancy kit we found
in his house had traces of male urine

And next is officer Shankar Reddy

He created all the fears he had
within himself in Shankar Reddy's character

'He fled as far away as possible
from him in order not to get caught'

When Shruthi figured out
his mental afflictions

...she decided to take him
to a psychiatrist

'She said she would
bring you over to meet me'

To ascertain he has no problem whatsoever
he created an imaginary doctor

'Sandeep, relax'

'I was about to say the same'

'You have absolutely no problem'

'Problem is with Shruthi'

When he knew he was getting
headlong into a problem like this

...to save himself from the mess
he has created these 6 characters

Sandeep, don't trust anyone

I'm there for you
Stop the car

Sandeep, my son, listen to me
Please don't trust him

'Stop the car
Baba, stop!'

Sandeep, stop

Sandeep...please stop

Sandeep, you must forget everything

Forget everything about Shruthi

'She tried to brand you a lunatic
I was the one who saved you'

Hey Sandeep
Son of a gun, I'll kill you

No one can save you, Sandeep

No one can harm you
I'm there for you

Please listen to me

'Stop, Sandeep'

Though none of them are
intertwined with each other

...these 6 characters are figment
of his imagination in Sandeep's mind

Doctor, out of these 6 characters
who killed Shruthi?

- Sandeep, wait
- Sandeep, stop

'Sandeep, stop'

'Sandeep, listen to me'

[overlap of imaginary voices]

Sandeep, wait

Sandeep, wait

- Sandeep, wait
- Please stop

Sandeep, stop

Sandeep, wait

Please wait
Listen to me

Sandeep, stop

Wait, listen to me

Sandeep, come out
Son of a gun!

Open the door
Otherwise I'll kill you

- Open the door
- I raised you like my own son

I'm there for you, son

Yes

Superb!

Send your force immediately
We will also leave right now

Did they find out Sandeep's hideout?
You ordered a team to be dispatched

Using the # Ranjani gave
we were able to track him

- Chapter closed
- Let's go

Come out
Don't be scared

- I am there for you
- Go away

- Come out
- Get lost, I don't want anyone

'Don't trust any of them, son'

Come out, better open the door

I am talking only to you!

'We are trying to save him
What are you doing, Khaleel?'

- Don't trust anyone
- Please shut up!

You shut up
Saving him?

- Yes
- You are the cause of his problems

You should have been killed long ago

'Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?'

Are you really friends?

'He's a good man
Such an innocent soul'

You've ganged up, made him a murderer

- Blaming us?
- It was all your fault

You killed Aneendra and
framed Sandeep for that murder

If you truly love Sandeep
where were you when his father hit him?

What the fuck are you doing, huh?

'Sandeep, open the door'

Listen to me, Sandeep

- Go away
- Listen only to me, Sandeep

I don't want any of you

Sandeep, forget about Shruthi completely

Just remember you did nothing wrong

The fact Shruthi is dead
and even how she died

Forget everything

- 'Step out'
- Sandeep, please

'Listen to me'

'Shruthi won't be just my wife, aunty'

'I will cherish her as my breath!'

Please come out

Come out
For my sake

Sandeep, relax

Forget everything

Forget EVERYTHING!

How can I forget something I don't know?

You know everything

It is all locked in your mind
safe and sound

Recollect

Try to rewind

Please try

When was the last time
you spoke to Shruthi?

Try and recollect that occasion

Think it over calmly

Try, Sandeep, try

'We need to go to the doctor today'

'Please, Sandeep, you have to come'

You must somehow make it today, Sandeep

You need to know about yourself

We'll keep it confidential

Please, Sandy

We need to know what is reality
and what is fantasy

Hey! No, Shruthi
I told you 1000 times

Don't irritate me

Don't force me again
to consult a doctor

What happened to you, Sandy?

You take care of me so well sometimes
Suddenly you change like this

I am not able to fathom you

How can you change so quickly?

- Tell me, Sandeep
- I have changed

I have changed

Happy, huh?

How many times have I told you?
Sandeep is innocent and to leave him alone

You bitches don't listen, right?

Doctor is right
You're mentally ill, Sandeep

You are maligning my friend Sandeep

He won't come anywhere

Baby...please listen to me just once

- Please, baby, please
- Leave me alone

- Just this once
- LEAVE ME!

Leave me alone
Don't you get it in your thick skull?

Should it always be your way?
Won't you ever listen to my wishes?

One time, you will love me madly, deeply
Then you will behave like a lunatic

You are mentally ill, Sandeep

I love you, baby

For my sake, only this time-

FUCK YOU, BITCH!

Don't you get it?

She won't understand!

I hate women

Hey! What are you doing?

Nothing should happen
to my friend Sandeep

Get away from me

Sandeep, if you've really loved me
you must come with me

Come with me to the clinic

Otherwise I will kill myself right now

You want to die, my love?

I will let you die

No...no

I didn't kill my wife

I didn't kill Shruthi
No...no...no

That's fine, buddy
You killed that bitch

- All these bitches
- I didn't kill my wife

- You are lying
- I will kill you

You are the one who killed everyone

I tell you

You are the murderer

Stop it!

This isn't the time to be arguing

- Just stop it
- Any need to fight now?

[siren wailing]

Sandeep, don't listen to any of them

- Please trust me
- Hey! Stop it

I can hear the police car's siren

Come on, move...move, fast

Surround the entire area

Go, cover the entire area

Sandeep, time to surrender

Sandeep, escape now

- Sandeep, open the door
- Come with me, son

- Come with me
- Surrender!

- Sandeep, come
- Escape, my son

Run, Sandeep

Baba

- Sandeep
- Sandeep, he is dead

The cops are here, run

Run, Sandeep
Listen to me

Shit!

The cops are here, Sandeep

- Run for your life
- Hey! Sandeep

Just shut up! Enough of torturing him
You've been doing it all his life

- Hey Sandeep
- Not listening to me

You run, Sandeep

Sandeep, stop

Sandeep...go

Get away from here

SANDEEEEP!

Khaleel

Khaleel

Sandeep

Go now

Escape

Surrender, Sandeep

Get away from here, Sandeep

Khaleel

- No
- He is the bloody murderer

'I don't want any of you'

Khaleel

Khaleel!

Sandeep

'Did you think I was dead?'

'Khaleel will always be with you'

'Always a part of you'

'Keep this in mind always'

'Don't trust these bitches!'
