So students, what is the distance around
a simple closed figure called?
I will be back in five minutes.
If you make any trouble,
you will be punished.
Sarthak!
Sarthak!
What's wrong with him?
No idea. He's been petrified
since that day.
What did the psycho do to him that day?
I have an idea.
Sarthak...
see what I can do.
Look.
Bro, it's so cool!
Stop writing, bookworm!
Let him be.
This will make him wet his pants.
Dhruv!
Strange things keep happening
with that student.
First the puppies, now that boy.
What else do we have to witness?
Can't you see?!
You?
Hey, musician!
Hey!
-Hey, musician!
-What the fuck, dude!
Have you lost it?
Why are you getting so mad?
I was joking, bro.
Everyone was busy pranking
each other all night.
No wonder Suyash is still asleep.
We need to rehearse the play, guys.
He went to bed early.
He wanted to get some beauty sleep
now that his beauty has dumped him.
Who the fuck did this?
Did one of you do this?
Bro, relax. What is this?
What the fuck!
Obviously, Rajat didn't do anything,
because he can't even touch books.
Guys, I'm serious.
There's something wrong. You...
Just... touch it.
Oh, God!
It's just you, dude!
Give it back.
-It's normal for them.
-Yeah!
I'm hearing these voices.
I'm seeing things.
I'm losing my mind, doctor.
Okay, listen to me.
If it's getting too much then come back.
I can't come back, doctor.
I pinned all my hopes
on this goddamn reunion.
He's not even here.
Ninad didn't even come.
Adhiraj, let's get on a video call.
It could be a side effect.
He still hasn't forgiven me.
The closure you're looking for
isn't with Ninad, it's with you.
Please listen...
It's me!
I'm sorry, I wasn't eavesdropping.
I just came to check if you're okay.
Do you get anxiety attacks?
Do you remember this, Malvika?
It's Ninad's graphic novel.
Please tell me I'm not crazy.
You know how they are! Just forget
about it, Adi. It was just a prank.
Fine, it was a prank.
But why didn't he show up, Malvika?
Adi, you made a mistake 15 years ago.
If you could take it back, you would.
How long will you punish yourself
for that?
It doesn't matter why he didn't come.
Just let it go.
I can't let it go, Malvika.
I've lost everyone I loved.
I can't bring them back.
But I can bring Ninad back.
I need answers.
Ancient scriptures say...
souls can travel from one body to another.
-Oh!
-Weapons can't destroy it,
nor can fire burn it.
We die but our souls live on.
When we die, we die!
That's it.
There's a saying in English,
"Everything is theoretically impossible...
till it is done."
Being a psychologist you'd know,
even scientific belief leaves a margin
for the possibility of impossibility.
When you see it,
then you will start to believe.
Does that mean you saw the Dean's spirit?
What I saw is beyond my understanding
to explain.
But an incident took place
in your class today.
A student harmed himself with a compass.
We too are inviting trouble
by not organizing a sacred ritual.
Ninad Raman, 2007.
Are you sure about the name?
Of course, ma'am. I'm sure.
Guess the server is down.
There must be some student records
around here.
There are. All records
before the 2010 batch
are in the archive room.
But the admin is busy today.
The staff is performing after all.
Thank you.
-I'll see you.
-Bye.
We might get an address
or phone number in the old file.
I spoke to the admin and was told
records before 2010
are in the archive room.
They're all busy with the play
for now so...
What's wrong?
Last night...
I met a scared Vedant
in the dining hall.
He wasn't eating or talking to anyone.
He reminded me of Ninad.
Shadow Boy.
I came here to meet him.
But I feel he's not here because of me.
Supriya, what if you get one chance
to fix the biggest mistake of your life?
Talking to Ninad would mean
the same to me.
Please help me.
Please.
What's the name?
Ninad Raman.
You did it again, didn't you?
What?
Cracked me emotionally!
You're good. Come.
Thank you.
Sarthak!
Sarthak!
Dhruv is getting bandaged.
Go quick!
Miss, Dhruv didn't do this.
Yes, Sarthak. What...
The doctor will check on you
in the evening.
Okay? Take rest.
Suyash!
Fuck!
Dude, seriously!
You're hiding in the corridor
to scare people!
-What?
-Grow up!
-Disgusting!
-What are you so mad about?
Fucking baby.
Suyash!
Where is he?
Good morning,
today your beloved teachers
will present a play for you.
The title is,
"What if we fail?"
No longer to wait for any much more.
Let us start to begin.
Doofus Chandra can speak English!
These are your lines.
Then I come in and say this. That's it.
-Guys, I'm tired.
-Cool.
I checked all the dorms
but I couldn't find Suyash.
I don't know where he is.
You don't know where he is means what?
Look at this, what's happening?
-Dev, can you please call him?
-I'll call him.
Look, Malu.
-Oh, that looks really bad. Show him.
-Yes.
-See.
-Go wash your hands first.
Shit!
Some issues with the network.
Guess he went to apologize to Nancy.
He should've informed us.
Old Malvika is back!
Hey! Relax.
Malvika,
can someone replace Suyash in the play?
Is there anyone?
I told you.
We need to work as a team
to find the address.
God! This isn't even labeled!
After all the staff is very busy
performing plays.
Where should we start?
I think I'll start here.
Why aren't you in the play?
Two minutes with them,
and I get headaches!
So the play is out of the question.
Not a big fan
of the Nilgiri Valley School?
Not like the Old Boys.
You guys have great things
to say about the school,
as if everything here is perfect.
Away from the world,
amid the freezing mountains,
add to that rubbish chatter
of the stupid staff members.
Ghosts, spirits, rituals!
Ritual it seems!
Adhiraj...
Adhiraj?
Adhiraj?
Adhiraj!
You scared me!
I thought only stupid school teachers
fear ghosts.
It is just a...
silly old Nilgiri Valley School prank.
These pranks are the reason
boarding schools need counselors.
You know we never forget
our childhood traumas.
We consult psychologists as adults
to heal childhood wounds.
Who better than me to vouch for it?
I lost my parents when I was ten.
I'm sorry.
Enough about me.
Why did you join here as a counsellor,
away from the world,
in this cold weather?
Who are you escaping from?
Sorry, I hope that wasn't too personal.
No.
My son Abhi... is five years old.
He lives with his dad.
I couldn't prove my financial stability
in court and lost custody.
Maybe with this job, I can...
Do you get to see your son often?
Not often enough.
Let's find that file.
No luck.
Found anything?
-Got it.
-Really?
Current address, Raman Cafe.
This was last updated in 2007.
Raman Cafe closed down years ago.
The other address is Kotagiri.
That's where Ninad's grandparents lived.
He'd visit them in the holidays.
They might guide me to Ninad.
Or... you might just find Ninad there!
Kotagiri is one hour away.
Yes.
-What if we fail?
-What if we fail?
See you all at 5:00 p.m.
at the Chauhan Lawns
for the inauguration of Dean Vyas' statue.
Thank you very much.
Come on, guys. Last night. Let's drink.
-Let's go, alright.
-Alright.
-Come on.
-I'll serve you whiskey on the rocks, bro.
-Come.
-I really can't.
Hurry up if you're buying
everyone whiskey.
Hey.
It's just a silly play.
Who cares?
Silly play!
The play is silly and so am I.
-Right?
-That's not what I meant.
That's exactly what you meant.
I should've never come back here.
Why did you bring me here?
You're the trustee.
They're here to meet you.
-I mean nothing.
-Okay.
-I...
-To anyone.
I can't do this right now.
I've to go meet Dean Swamy.
Talk to you later, okay?
Dev, just leave me alone.
Dev, I said just...
Sorry.
Are you okay?
What happened?
You look harrowed.
Are you okay, Malvika?
Did they prank you too?
Did they?
That must be it.
These guys...
Where were you?
I was looking for you.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Do you remember the last day of school?
Well, look at this letter.
This is Ninad's writing.
But this says
his grandfather fell ill,
so his parents requested the school
to let him leave
for Kotagiri by bus that night.
They'll receive him there.
Coach Vyas was to drop him to the bus.
He got the letter signed and stamped
and took his custody saying that...
he spoke to Ninad's parents.
So what's the problem?
If Ninad's grandfather was sick,
he would've told me.
Yeah, but he didn't.
You two had a fight, right?
They could have called my grandpa,
he'd have sent a car.
His parents were simple cafe owners.
Your grandfather was
a high-ranking officer.
Maybe they didn't want to seek favors.
But it doesn't make sense.
It does!
This is his handwriting, Adi.
What is it that you can't accept?
That he left without a word?
He forgot you?
Or that he didn't turn up to meet you?
Basically, all the things you did to me,
right?
And you know what the funny thing is?
We're standing in the same spot
where I broke up with you 15 years ago.
Because I realized, he wasn't
the third wheel in the relationship.
I was.
I'm sorry, Malvika.
But...
this is important for me.
I need to...
I'm going to Kotagiri.
I'll be back by tonight.
Listen, Maheshwar.
All the deliveries made so far.
I want a list.
Show me the register.
We need to deliver...
Raman Uncle!
Adhiraj!
It's you!
How are you, son?
It's been years!
Where is Ninad?
I'm here to meet him.
Where is he?
Don't you know?
Ninad...
has been missing for 15 years.
Missing?
Missing?
We were waiting for you
and Ninad that day.
It was late so I called your grandfather.
He said you had reached home,
but you were angry
because Ninad left without meeting you.
Then we called the school,
and asked for Ninad.
They started questioning us instead.
Apparently, we called to inform them that
Ninad's grandfather was ill
and we're leaving for Kotagiri.
So help him board the bus to Kotagiri.
We'll receive him.
They showed me a letter written by Ninad.
Is this the one?
But this letter makes no sense.
It is Ninad's handwriting,
but why would he write this?
His grandfather didn't fall ill.
Even so, why would we leave without Ninad?
You'd never appoint Vyas as his guardian.
Never.
Grandpa knew about this
but he told me nothing.
He hid this for years.
Why?
Adhiraj, you'd lost a lot at a young age.
Losing Ninad would shatter you.
How could he just vanish?
Nobody in the school knows about him.
Why didn't you get this investigated?
We did.
We did everything, Adhiraj.
The police appointed Anil Joshi
to investigate the case.
FIR, missing person's report,
in fact, I pasted my child's picture
on every wall in Ooty.
We spoke to the driver of the bus...
Ninad boarded.
He said, "Ninad got off a few stops
before Kotagiri."
He got violent when stopped from doing so.
They investigated the school too.
They interrogated Coach Vyas.
But he kept showing this letter.
The cops believed him.
One day the school said,
we've to stop creating a scene every day.
Giving into the school's pressure,
the cops closed Ninad's case.
They said Ninad didn't go missing.
He took off willingly.
We did everything we could.
We used up all our money.
We sold Raman Cafe.
But I don't understand one thing.
What exactly happened to Ninad that day,
that he left us all?
-Let's take a photo.
-Adu!
-Photos can wait.
-Why?
I've to make sure you reach
Ling's by 2:00 p.m.
But why?
Listen, if I say a word,
your girlfriend will kill me.
You know how bossy she is.
She's been planning a surprise date
for two weeks.
And she even made me buy ribbons
for your present or something. I mean...
Oh shit.
Listen, I've said too much.
You better act surprised
when you see her.
Ninad.
I'm supposed to feel bad too, right?
Because I'm going away from Malvika.
I mean, I love her...
but then, why don't I feel as sad as her?
Adu...
the person leaving is never sad.
It's the person who gets left behind.
You don't need to be sad at all.
You've faced too much sadness already.
It's time for you to be happy now.
Party away in America.
I'll miss you, buddy.
You'll come to see me, right?
-You'll buy my tickets, right?
-Buzz off!
You have a million-dollar
graphic novel idea.
Come on your own plane!
Anyway, it's not 2:00 p.m. yet.
And I don't know when we'll meet again.
At least this will help me
remember your face.
Stop thinking, come in.
Come!
Adu, listen!
-Listen!
-Did you just try to kiss me, Ninad?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Listen, Adu,
let's not make a scene here.
Oh, God.
Adu, listen.
Listen to me, please.
Adu, I didn't mean to.
Adu, I didn't mean to. Listen to me.
Listen to me.
-Adu!
-Adi!
Adu, listen to me, please.
Ninad!
Malvika, I'm sorry but I promise
I'll make it up to you.
Adu!
Adu, listen to me.
Adu! Let me explain.
I'm sorry, Adu.
Adu!
Hey, homo!
-Adu, please!
-How could you, Ninad?
I thought you were my best friend.
And this whole time!
This whole fucking time!
Adu, listen.
Adu, let me explain.
Now I have to give a speech
in front of the whole school,
but I'm so fucking embarrassed!
Where the fuck did I keep my speech?
Where the fuck is my speech?
-Where the fuck is my speech?
-Let me...
Stay away from me!
Why did you do this?
What were you thinking?
-And why on the last day?
-Exactly!
Because it just suddenly hit me
that we might never meet again.
And I just couldn't let you leave
without letting you know how I felt, Adu.
Adu, I'm sorry but...
maybe I should've told you first...
Maybe?
Maybe, Ninad?
Adu, I thought you'll understand.
-Listen, you just can't leave like that.
-Stay away from me, you homo!
You're just like the rest of them!
I was thinking that
we might never meet again...
but now...
I hope we don't.
Fine.
From the mountains to the sea
We sing the songs of Nilgiri
Of our honor, of our pride
Of our strength and our might
Of those who came before us
And those who will follow after
The valley echos with our hope...
Malvika, I...
Dev, I shouldn't have said all that.
I know you love me.
Or I wouldn't be here.
Don't even think about it.
Together
Hand in hand
-We look up to the sky
-Sky!
Mr. Jamwal, please.
Thank you.
Rajat.
Suyash!
-Suyash!
-Come down.
-Suyash!
-Come down.
-Suyash!
-Come down, Suyash.
Suyash!
Oh no!
Take the children away.
-Teachers.
-Come on, guys!
Mr. Jamwal?
-SSP Joshi wants to speak to you.
-Sure.
It's okay.
I am here. I'm here with you.
SSP...Dean Swamy...
How did this happen?
He was missing all day.
We thought he went to make things alright
with Nancy.
He was on the clock tower.
He got the key from the peon,
to drink up there.
I shouldn't have told him
all those things last night.
I know what it is like to get bullied,
and I did it to him.
He was depressed and...
Fuck!
Fuck!
Vedant?!
Adu, I'm fighting back.
---
So students, what is the distance around
a simple closed figure called?
I will be back in five minutes.
If you make any trouble,
you will be punished.
Sarthak!
Sarthak!
What's wrong with him?
No idea. He's been petrified
since that day.
What did the psycho do to him that day?
I have an idea.
Sarthak...
see what I can do.
Look.
Bro, it's so cool!
Stop writing, bookworm!
Let him be.
This will make him wet his pants.
Dhruv!
Strange things keep happening
with that student.
First the puppies, now that boy.
What else do we have to witness?
Can't you see?!
You?
Hey, musician!
Hey!
-Hey, musician!
-What the fuck, dude!
Have you lost it?
Why are you getting so mad?
I was joking, bro.
Everyone was busy pranking
each other all night.
No wonder Suyash is still asleep.
We need to rehearse the play, guys.
He went to bed early.

Obviously, Rajat didn't do anything,
because he can't even touch books.
Guys, I'm serious.
There's something wrong. You...
Just... touch it.
Oh, God!
It's just you, dude!
Give it back.
-It's normal for them.
-Yeah!
I'm hearing these voices.
I'm seeing things.
I'm losing my mind, doctor.
Okay, listen to me.
If it's getting too much then come back.
I can't come back, doctor.
I pinned all my hopes
on this goddamn reunion.
He's not even here.
Ninad didn't even come.
Adhiraj, let's get on a video call.
It could be a side effect.
He still hasn't forgiven me.

We might get an address

I spoke to the admin and was told

They're all busy with the play
for now so...
What's wrong?
Last night...
I met a scared Vedant

Cracked me emotionally!
You're good. Come.

Sarthak!
Sarthak!
Dhruv is getting bandaged.
Go quick!
Miss, Dhruv didn't do this.
Yes, Sarthak. What...
The doctor will check on you

Okay? Take rest.

Some issues with the network.
Guess he went to apologize to Nancy.
He should've informed us.
Old Malvika is back!
Hey! Relax.
Malvika,

Is there anyone?

We need to work as a team

You two had a fight, right?
They could have called my grandpa,
he'd have sent a car.
His parents were simple cafe owners.
Your grandfather was
a high-ranking officer.
Maybe they didn't want to seek favors.
But it doesn't make sense.
It does!
This is his handwriting, Adi.
What is it that you can't accept?
That he left without a word?
He forgot you?
Or that he didn't turn up to meet you?
Basically, all the things you did to me,
right?
And you know what the funny thing is?
We're standing in the same spot
where I broke up with you 15 years ago.
Because I realized, he wasn't
the third wheel in the relationship.
I was.
I'm sorry, Malvika.
But...
this is important for me.
I need to...
I'm going to Kotagiri.
I'll be back by tonight.
Listen, Maheshwar.
All the deliveries made so far.
I want a list.
Show me the register.
We need to deliver...
Raman Uncle!
Adhiraj!
It's you!
How are you, son?
It's been years!
Where is Ninad?
I'm here to meet him.
Where is he?
Don't you know?
Ninad...
has been missing for 15 years.
Missing?
Missing?
We were waiting for you
and Ninad that day.
It was late so I called your grandfather.
He said you had reached home,
but you were angry
because Ninad left without meeting you.
Then we called the school,
and asked for Ninad.
They started questioning us instead.
Apparently, we called to inform them that
Ninad's grandfather was ill
and we're leaving for Kotagiri.
So help him board the bus to Kotagiri.
We'll receive him.
They showed me a letter written by Ninad.
Is this the one?
But this letter makes no sense.
It is Ninad's handwriting,
but why would he write this?
His grandfather didn't fall ill.
Even so, why would we leave without Ninad?
You'd never appoint Vyas as his guardian.
Never.
Grandpa knew about this
but he told me nothing.
He hid this for years.
Why?
Adhiraj, you'd lost a lot at a young age.
Losing Ninad would shatter you.
How could he just vanish?
Nobody in the school knows about him.
Why didn't you get this investigated?
We did.
We did everything, Adhiraj.
The police appointed Anil Joshi
to investigate the case.
FIR, missing person's report,
in fact, I pasted my child's picture
on every wall in Ooty.
We spoke to the driver of the bus...
Ninad boarded.
He said, "Ninad got off a few stops
before Kotagiri."
He got violent when stopped from doing so.
They investigated the school too.
They interrogated Coach Vyas.
But he kept showing this letter.
The cops believed him.
One day the school said,
we've to stop creating a scene every day.
Giving into the school's pressure,
the cops closed Ninad's case.
They said Ninad didn't go missing.
He took off willingly.
We did everything we could.
We used up all our money.
We sold Raman Cafe.
But I don't understand one thing.
What exactly happened to Ninad that day,
that he left us all?
-Let's take a photo.
-Adu!
-Photos can wait.
-Why?
I've to make sure you reach
Ling's by 2:00 p.m.
But why?
Listen, if I say a word,
your girlfriend will kill me.
You know how bossy she is.
She's been planning a surprise date
for two weeks.
And she even made me buy ribbons
for your present or something. I mean...
Oh shit.
Listen, I've said too much.
You better act surprised
when you see her.
Ninad.
I'm supposed to feel bad too, right?
Because I'm going away from Malvika.
I mean, I love her...
but then, why don't I feel as sad as her?
Adu...
the person leaving is never sad.
It's the person who gets left behind.
You don't need to be sad at all.
You've faced too much sadness already.
It's time for you to be happy now.
Party away in America.
I'll miss you, buddy.
You'll come to see me, right?
-You'll buy my tickets, right?
-Buzz off!
You have a million-dollar
graphic novel idea.
Come on your own plane!
Anyway, it's not 2:00 p.m. yet.
And I don't know when we'll meet again.
At least this will help me
remember your face.
Stop thinking, come in.
Come!
Adu, listen!
-Listen!
-Did you just try to kiss me, Ninad?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Listen, Adu,
let's not make a scene here.
Oh, God.
Adu, listen.
Listen to me, please.
Adu, I didn't mean to.
Adu, I didn't mean to. Listen to me.
Listen to me.
-Adu!
-Adi!
Adu, listen to me, please.
Ninad!
Malvika, I'm sorry but I promise
I'll make it up to you.
Adu!
Adu, listen to me.
Adu! Let me explain.
I'm sorry, Adu.
Adu!
Hey, homo!
-Adu, please!
-How could you, Ninad?
I thought you were my best friend.
And this whole time!
This whole fucking time!
Adu, listen.
Adu, let me explain.
Now I have to give a speech
in front of the whole school,
but I'm so fucking embarrassed!
Where the fuck did I keep my speech?
Where the fuck is my speech?
-Where the fuck is my speech?
-Let me...
Stay away from me!
Why did you do this?
What were you thinking?
-And why on the last day?
-Exactly!
Because it just suddenly hit me
that we might never meet again.
And I just couldn't let you leave
without letting you know how I felt, Adu.
Adu, I'm sorry but...
maybe I should've told you first...
Maybe?
Maybe, Ninad?
Adu, I thought you'll understand.
-Listen, you just can't leave like that.
-Stay away from me, you homo!
You're just like the rest of them!
I was thinking that
we might never meet again...
but now...
I hope we don't.
Fine.
From the mountains to the sea
We sing the songs of Nilgiri
Of our honor, of our pride
Of our strength and our might
Of those who came before us
And those who will follow after
The valley echos with our hope...
Malvika, I...
Dev, I shouldn't have said all that.
I know you love me.
Or I wouldn't be here.
Don't even think about it.
Together
Hand in hand
-We look up to the sky
-Sky!
Mr. Jamwal, please.
Thank you.
Rajat.
Suyash!
-Suyash!
-Come down.
-Suyash!
-Come down.
-Suyash!
-Come down, Suyash.
Suyash!
Oh no!
Take the children away.
-Teachers.
-Come on, guys!
Mr. Jamwal?
-SSP Joshi wants to speak to you.
-Sure.
It's okay.
I am here. I'm here with you.
SSP...Dean Swamy...
How did this happen?
He was missing all day.
We thought he went to make things alright
with Nancy.
He was on the clock tower.
He got the key from the peon,
to drink up there.
I shouldn't have told him
all those things last night.
I know what it is like to get bullied,
and I did it to him.
He was depressed and...
Fuck!
Fuck!
Vedant?!
Adu, I'm fighting back.
