I am Kiran.
I am 18 years old.
I am my mother's only daughter.
My mom loves me immensely.
But she isn't aware
that I've been kidnapped.
I didn't make any mistakes.
Despite that, for the next few days,
I will have to live in complete confinement.
I don't know if I will be able to survive or not.
Where to, ma'am?
I will drop you off.
They will have you out in two minutes.
I am right here.
It has been 19 days.
My mom visits the police station every day
with one question.
Where is my daughter?
There is hope in her eyes every day.
She knows that I am somewhere.
But no one can tell
where I am.
Tell me!
I have been coming here for so many days now.
Nowadays, children don't listen.
She is a girl who was out so late at night.
Parents should be strict.
I've been told every day
that parents need to be strict
and that girls should stay home at night.
Once Kiran is back home, I will talk to her.
I will be strict with her. Please look for her.
I’ll follow your instructions to the letter.
We are looking for her everywhere.
Kids these days tend to do whatever they want.
She will be back once she learns her lesson.
Stand up!
Mr. Shukla.
Has there been a demand for a ransom?
We have found no evidence or corpse.
No report has been recorded at any nearby police station.
You don't remember the alphabet, but you're having fun in class.
Sing.
I asked you to sing.
Show me your hand.
He is Mr. Swaroop.
He is very strict.
He is extremely strict.
He believes that kids these days are spoilt.
According to him,
punishing them is the only way
to get them on the right track.
Go and sit.
There is no mercy in his eyes.
You are only meant to study in class.
He was strict
and had a peculiar mindset.
That a person can mend his ways only by suffering pain.
Were you thrown out of college,
or did you run away?
No… No, Dad. I…
I told you that I would be on a break soon.
Yes!
Come inside.
Every time I call your college hostel,
you are never there,
You have new friends in college now.
You forgot your best friend, right?
Kids grow up too soon.
Roohi!
You've come home after a long time.
Won't you hug your dad?
While hugging a person
you either feel a sense of security
or you get overwhelmed both physically and mentally.
Despite him being Roohi's dad,
Roohi would get overwhelmed just by being around him.
MISSING! KIRAN AWASTHI.
Yes, Mom.
Yes, I've signed the papers.
There is no way to back out and I don't wish to do that.
You get some rest. We will talk tomorrow. Okay?
Ms. Purna,
go home and get some rest.
How can I rest?
I don't know where my daughter is
and what state she is in.
Has she even eaten anything?
Is she sleeping?
Just imagine, how she will feel
if she sees you like this when she returns.
Will she return?
You go home, ma'am.
I will find Kiran.
Kavya, are you fine?
-Tell me what happened? -Her head is injured.
Take her to the hospital. Carry her.
-The ward boy was here. -Which ward boy?
The one who was at the hospital. He…
He switched my medicines.
I lost my child because of him. He…
He was here.
-Where was he? Where did he go? -He was here.
I…
If you want your daughter alive
arrange five lakh rupees.
Who are you?
Where is Kiran?
I want to talk to her.
I want to talk to her. Hello!
Hello! I…
Is the money ready?
Hello! Who is speaking?
-I want to talk to Kiran. -I will call later.
Hello, talk to me.
Have you arranged the money?
I want to talk to my daughter first.
I will not give you any money.
Believe me.
Okay!
I will send her corpse to you.
No! You want five lakh rupees, right?
I will give it to you.
Please don't hurt my daughter.
Six o'clock. Som Market.
Ma'am, I've returned from the crime spot.
The road is entirely clear.
There are no stores or CCTV cameras.
This means there is no lead on surveillance.
No, ma'am! But as per Ms. Mishra's theory, the girl is 18 years old.
What if there is a lover involved?
I think at this age children leave without informing their parents.
Okay! Let's look for the lover.
My bag!
I will break your bones.
-Speak up! -Hold on! I will tell you.
I will tell you!
I will tell you everything!
Mr. Shukla.
Enough.
Oh! He thrashed you really hard.
What do they say in your region, Mr. Shukla?
What do you say?
Landscape!
He transformed the landscape of your face.
I will tell you the truth.
You have to tell the truth.
I figured
that since she’s mourning her missing daughter,
she would give whatever I asked for.
She'd give me the price I quoted.
That's why I took this step.
I have no information about her daughter.
You don't know anything!
But you know how to take advantage of an old, helpless woman.
People use autorickshaws as a means of transportation.
Do you think your license won't be revoked
if they don't feel safe?
Get it revoked right now.
I will slap you!
What did you find out about Kiran's phone records?
Nothing much, ma'am.
There were outgoing and incoming calls from her mom.
There are chats with her friends
where they are discussing reality shows like KBC.
Okay.
Leave the detailed report on my desk.
Mr. Shukla, hit him some more.
He knows nothing, it seems.
Kiran is 18 years old.
She is much smarter than me.
Nowadays, children are quite smart.
They should be given freedom.
That's why…
But I have no idea where she has been
for the last 29 days.
I don't know where she is and what state she is in.
Jasbeen ma'am, put pressure on police officers
and ask them to find Kiran as soon as possible.
I am locked up here like an animal.
I get food only twice a day.
And then I am left alone again.
Fear is always with me.
Darkness and silence.
I miss my mom a lot.
Raghav!
Why did the police come here again?
Same reason.
For Kiran Awasthi's case.
Do you need something, sir?
Since when have you known Kiran?
When did you meet her last?
Ma'am, did you note any difference in her behavior?
Did she look scared or was she just unusually silent?
-What is your name? -Navya!
Navya, tell me something.
Did Kiran have favorites? Did she like someone?
Ma'am, I don't know all this.
I was told that Kiran and you were best friends.
Best friends share everything with each other, right?
Ma'am, we used to
only talk about studies.
I don't know anything about her personal life.
-Okay! -Ma'am, may I please go?
Sure, please go.
We will summon you if we have more questions. Okay?
I am certain she is hiding something.
She is either hiding something
or she is simply nervous about the police being around.
This is the issue, Shukla.
In our nation, the police are meant to safeguard women,
yet they feel intimidated by them.
-Anyway, who is next? -The Hindi teacher. Swaroop Kashyap.
Kiran Awasthi, a student from your school,
has been missing for quite some time.
I have heard she was a brilliant student.
Yes, ma'am.
She is a very promising, smart,
and intelligent girl of our school.
Can you tell us anything more about her?
Nothing much but,
she used to always seem lost
and confused.
You know a lot about the nature of the children.
Ma'am, I have a daughter of her age.
-What is her name? -Roohi.
Fine.
MISSING KIRAN AWASTHI
Who told you to tell this story?
Please find out
who came in this hospital room and who told him to tell this story?
Hang on a second, ma'am. Anyone can tell a story.
Anyone can lie.
Why do I believe that you are telling the truth and he is lying.
Why…
Why would I tell a story?
No, sir.
Kavya, please tell me what happened?
You are here…
Are you waiting for your boyfriend?
No, ma'am. Actually,
-I just… -What?
I got your dad's number from the school.
Does he know
that you are out on a date and you will be a bit late today?
Ma'am, what are you saying?
I am not saying anything, Navya.
It would be good if you start speaking now.
Tell the truth clearly.
Ma'am.
We just played a small prank.
Nouns are the words
that name a thing, person or a creature.
25 DAYS AGO…
Yes, Kiran. What is the question?
-I wanted to say something to you. -Yes, tell me.
This combination of jacket and the shirt looks great on you.
Kiran, focus on your studies,
not on the combination of my shirt and jacket.
Sit down.
Kiran.
I have to agree… I mean
you said it directly to sir
Well, I had to fulfill my end of the bargain.
You will have to give a lunch party now.
Done.
-Man. -Maths!
I don't like anyone other than Mr. Bachchan,
but he was okay.
Hey, listen. I'll come back from the staff room.
-Sure. Love you. Bye. -Bye.
How do I look today? Does this shirt look nice?
Tell me, Kiran.
Sir, what are you doing?
I saw your picture on social media.
It was beautiful.
Well,
I can give compliments too.
I sent you a friend request on social media.
You didn't accept it.
My account is private. I cannot do it.
Accept it.
-Sorry, sir. -I told you to accept it.
I'll do it.
What about Laddoo?
When he grows up, he will understand that
I am doing it all for his future.
I…
-Jai Hind, ma'am. -I'm in the office right now.
I am working, Mom.
I'll call you later.
I'll hang up now. I'll call you later.
Did you find something out about Kiran?
It has been 19 days, Mr. Shukla.
Please save me. Who are you?
I am Roohi.
Roohi, please save me from Mr. Swaroop.
Please untie the rope. It's hurting me a lot.
Roohi!
What are you doing here?
She is my student.
A bad student.
-She will get the punishment. -Dad… Dad, please.
You go to your room.
Please, don't leave me here. Please, save me.
Roohi, go to your room.
No! Please, don't.
No… Please.
Please, save me. Please.
-Dad, she is the same age as me. -Roohi!
-Please, don't. -Roohi.
The keys.
Your hand.
Put your hand forward.
-Dad… -You have made a mistake.
So, you will be punished.
Go now.
No… Please, don't.
Please, don't.
Roohi.
No.
Roohi.
You do a lot of pranks.
My feelings were a prank to you too.
No, sir. Please forgive me.
I won't do it again. Please, sir.
I will forget everything.
The police won't forget anything. They will make you say everything.
No.
Things have gone too far.
No.
Nothing is under my control now.
-You made a mistake. -No.
You should be punished.
-Please forgive me. -No… No!
Forgive me.
No. This…
This is not my daughter Kiran.
Ma'am, this is not my daughter Kiran.
-Are you sure, Poorna? -Yes.
She has a mark on her neck.
My daughter Kiran doesn't have that.
Yes.
Dad.
-Dad. -If anyone gets even a sniff of it.
I will burn you down.
-I will burn myself too. -Dad.
Dad, please don't hit me. Dad, please.
I won't say anything.
I won't say anything to anyone.
I will stay quiet.
I didn't tell anyone even when it was about mom.
I won't say anything. Dad, please.
MISSING KIRAN AWASTHI
Please, don't leave me here. Please, save me.
Mom, I have told you many times.
You should knock before entering my room.
I am 18 years old now.
Do I not have my privacy?
Hello. Who is it?
Kiran, is it you?
Please, talk to me.
Kiran.
Roohi.
Come here.
There's food on the table.
Give it to her.
Why are you scared?
You should be brave just like your father.
Are you still upset?
This girl made fun of your dad.
She laughed at your dad.
She should be punished, right?
Dad, all this…
How long will this continue?
Till tomorrow.
That's it. Till tomorrow.
She will be out of our house by tomorrow.
Now, go.
Go and give the food to her.
Go.
This is the Hindi teacher.
The profile is private.
Why is this girl connected to her teacher on social media?
That too, at this age.
I will look at Swaroop's profile.
Everything is normal.
It's very normal.
Hey, Shukla.
Kiran has a Hindi teacher.
Yes, Swaroop.
Find out everything about him.
-Jai Hind, ma'am. -Jai Hind, ma'am.
Ma'am, we have gotten all the information about the Hindi teacher.
He had a wife. She died falling down the stairs 13 years ago.
He has a 20-year-old daughter as well.
Roohi.
He seems like a very cunning man.
He has maintained a great image in the society.
You know a lot about the nature of the children.
Ma'am, I have a daughter of her age.
We just played a small prank.
This combination of jacket and the shirt looks great on you.
These predators
are in our societies too.
SWAROOP KASHYAP HINDI TEACHER
Hurry up.
Surround the house from all sides. Come on.
Go that way.
He must be at the school. Let's go.
Break the lock, Shukla.
Shukla.
-Ma'am. There's no one here. -Not here either.
Roohi.
You are here. Where is Kiran?
Dad, don't.
-Dad, please don't. -Roohi, go away from here.
-Dad, please. She is just a kid. -Roohi, I said get away from here.
Dad… Dad, please.
-No. -Roohi, go away from here.
-Dad, please don't hit her. -She deserves it.
-Don't stop me. -Help!
Help!
Dad, please.
No! Move!
-Dad, please. -Get away from here.
Dad, please.
Roohi.
Dad!
Dad, please. Dad.
Dad!
Shukla, connect with the cyber cell unit.
Trace the phone. Track the location. Hurry up.
He won't have gone far away.
Mishra, we will need an additional team.
I am sending the location.
Please let me talk to my dad once. Please.
-Beta. -If I tell him.
He will surely surrender, ma'am.
Sit with us.
Hey! Swaroop.
Dad. Please don't kill her.
Stop it, Swaroop.
Don't come near me. I will kill him.
Let go of the knife, Swaroop.
-Roohi, move away. -Let her go, dad.
-Move back. -Don't come near me.
Dad… Dad, please.
Roohi, move away from there.
-Go away. Don't come near me. -Dad!
-I'll kill her. -Dad, please let her go. Please.
I am giving you one last chance.
Let go of the knife.
I will fire the bullet. Your daughter will become an orphan.
I'm giving you a last chance.
Let go of the knife. Down.
Kiran.
Kiran, my child.
I have been crying for my daughter for so many days.
I thought I had lost her.
Kiran, open your eyes.
Kiran.
Are you all right, my child?
Roohi.
Your dad cannot trouble you anymore.
He was doing the same thing with me
for all these years.
Roohi.
Whatever bad stuff had to happen has already happened.
Roohi.
Whatever you did to save me,
I will forever be grateful to you for that.
Roohi, you are my friend now.
Can I say something to you?
I have a lot of regret about two things.
First,
I took the pranks given by my friends very seriously.
Because of that,
a predator like Mr. Swaroop
trapped me.
The second one.
Mr. Swaroop
sent me a request on Buddies Book.
I didn't inform my mom about it.
Parents are always there for us.
We should talk to them openly.
I know
that you miss your mom a lot.
Thank you so much for saving me.
Or else my mom
would have missed me all her life. ds very seriously.
