One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
- nine, ten. - What? Are the crackers too few?
No, Dad. You have got me these. I am happy.
And you told me bursting too many crackers is bad.
Very good. (laughs)
(matchstick strikes)
Dad, he is still limping.
Hey, kiddo! Please wait.
Hmm?
(Harishchandra) If you leave it unattended, it will become septic.
How did this happen?
It's just... I fell. That's it.
I don't know how this happened.
Don't neglect it though.
Small wounds, if neglected, can become fatal.
It wasn't too painful.
That's why I didn't bother.
Okay. Stay here. I will get you some medicine.
Please don't. I am going home.
Then I will go to the police station.
I have been watching you since you moved into this house.
Your parents haven't stepped out.
Your leg is injured, but you don't want to go to the hospital.
Are your parents beating you?
Are they torturing you?
No...
My mom would never do that to me.
Please get me the medicine.
I will wait here.
Megha, stay here.
- Okay, Dad. - I will go get it.
(firecrackers crackle)
Look at those colours. They look so pretty, don't they?
Hmm?
"Pretty"?
"Adjective.
"Attractive or pleasing to the eyes, which is lovely and sweet."
Am I right?
"Adjective"?
They haven't taught me such a difficult word so far.
"Pretty" is all I can think of.
That's all.
(chuckles)
Wow! Finally, I see you smile.
(firecrackers exploding)
(title music)
(sentimental music)
The surgery went well.
He is very lucky.
He'll be fine.
Raghav...
Dr. Aruna is waiting for us. Shall we go?
(Devika) Raghav! Stop the car!
(tyres screech)
Raghav!
You knew about the man Rishi was talking about, didn't you?
He was the one who had killed the witness, right?
Why do you have so many secrets?
You think I won't help you if you tell me?
I know you will help me if I tell you.
But I also know I will regret it.
Regret telling me?
Regret telling at all.
(suspenseful music)
(girl groaning)
(cop) What?
Is the girl drunk again? Huh?
Your aunt gets older every year. But this remains the same.
Anyway, it's quite late. Go home.
Sure, sir.
Uh, by the way, you know Raghav's brother, Rishi?
- Hmm. - Someone stabbed him.
He is in the hospital.
We just got the information.
Okay. Drop her safely.
(tense music)
(phone ringing)
(tsks)
(grunts)
(playful music)
Hello?
(Gautam) What's wrong with you? Why are you using my car for a chase?
Anyway, I don't care what's happening.
Return my car and say goodbye to me and my car.
- Gautam... - Hey, don't tell me anything.
I find it very hard to manage my dad.
I just want my car back.
(tsks) It's not that.
I am hungry.
Why don't you get me something?
Why didn't you say it sooner?
Shall I get you chicken biryani?
Uh...
Prawns may be better.
Why not mutton biryani?
- No. - Hang up!
Hello... hello!
(playful music continues)
Did he hang up or did it get disconnected?
(sighs)
(suspenseful music)
Is the body identified?
Do you remember?
Sri Purnima.
The lady who has been absconding after the fire at the hospital?
Yes?
Yes.
The woman with the ring.
(eerie music)
The ring is not the only suspicious thing here.
The woman herself is suspicious.
They said it's been three years since she fled from the hospital.
But she has been dead for four or five years.
(eerie music rises)
The records show she worked at the hospital until three years ago.
Yes. That's why I checked it several times thoroughly.
Have you checked the fingerprints? Are you sure?
I'm 100% sure.
If she has been dead, who was working at the hospital?
(eerie music continues)
(lift door clangs)
(footsteps)
(eerie music)
(suspenseful music)
(grunts)
(laughs)
I knew it.
Though you cursed me and hung up, you would still come for me.
Did you really get me biryani?
It's prawns, right?
Huh?
(Megha) Can I come out and talk?
Huh?
(romantic music)
(Rishi) Hey, hey...
(melodious music)
The forensic report says Sri Purnima was killed four to five years ago.
This impostor used her original ID and worked at the hospital.
If she could work at the hospital using a fake ID,
she could have killed the others.
It's also possible that she killed Renu, the woman in the suitcase.
Possibly.
So, let's keep the option open.
And I... will look for the woman with a ring.
Huh? A ring?
No ring was mentioned in the file.
- A witness has told me. - A witness?
But who it is
I don't have to tell you.
Guys...
My priority is to find out who killed this Sri Purnima.
- Yes - Hmm.
In case you get any information, keep each other updated.
- Yes. - Okay, sir.
Devika, I am going to see Rishi.
I will call you after.
(both sigh)
I saw him for the first time talking so casually to you.
Right! Did you feel the same?
Somehow... when he gets casual, it feels different.
- (laughs softly) - (romantic music)
They say idiots have more courage.
I am worried I may turn into an idiot.
If you take me for an idiot, I can understand.
(chuckles)
Why do you feel you are becoming one?
In the process of helping you, what if I become an idiot too?
So?
Will you help... (grunts in pain)
Have you decided to help me?
Hmm.
And I have come to tell you that.
Hmm.
- But... - Hmm?
I will ask you about my dad only when I get confident enough.
Done!
- Done. - Hmm.
Once you are up and about, come to my police station.
In the meantime, I will think about how to improve your skill.
Hmm? Bye.
- Megha! - Huh?
(sucks teeth) Please don't thank me.
Because I am doing this for myself.
Me too.
I am doing this for you.
(both laugh)
Take care.
Yes!
(officer) Excuse me, ma'am.
Here it is.
Traffic camera footage of the truck used by Rishi's assailants.
(tense music)
Is that all?
No photos of the suspects?
No, ma'am.
Only the truck is visible in the CCTV footage.
The suspect's face is not clear.
We checked the vehicle number and it's fake.
What about the spot where Rishi was stabbed?
There are no CCTV cameras there, ma'am.
What about the street cameras?
Did you check the shops close by?
Uh, when we went there to investigate,
we found that Raghav sir had already collected the footage.
(sighs)
Hey!
(kisses)
(Gautam) It's been so long since I last saw you!
I am here.
It's all fine now.
- Hey! - Is he taking good care of you?
Are you coming or not?
Ah, I am coming.
(engine revving)
Why did she bring me here?
In general, how long do you think it takes to master something?
(chuckles)
I don't know in general.
For me, it takes two to three days.
- (sighs) - That's all.
It takes ten thousand...
hours.
- Huh? - That applies to you too.
So, now...
all these ten thousand hours...
will you make me sit in the library?
Yes.
Before I return from the station,
read at least one of them, and whatever you feel, note it down in this.
(chuckles) I... I don't usually like to touch used books.
I know.
But you have to.
Reading these books is a waste of time.
But what I have is a superpower.
Because it's a superpower, whether you touch objects or people,
you see the memories associated with them.
But why are you not able to decode them?
Because you don't have the necessary basic knowledge.
That... you will gain by reading these.
(tsks) If I were a good reader,
wouldn't I have fared well in college?
Two minutes into the book and I doze off.
(tsks)
Hey!
Why don't we watch a movie instead?
(Megha tsks)
Rishi!
Weren't you excited to help find the lady in the suitcase?
Hmm. (laughs)
Have you ever thought of her even once?
Who could she be?
Who could be her family?
How did she land in a situation where she was killed?
How scared she must have been while dying?
Dead bodies are not just things to use your superpowers on.
They all had a life behind them just like you and me.
Hmm. Read.
(announcer) Inmate number 3145!
- (sighs) - (sentimental music)
Quite a long time since I saw you.
Sorry, Dad. I couldn't come earlier.
Nothing wrong with that.
I hear you are a cop?
Your aunt told me.
I am very happy for you.
You smile in happiness, but I can only see pain.
Dad...
I... am trying.
I will reinvestigate and prove you are innocent.
For sure.
- Megha... - Dad!
I know that you will dissuade me.
I am already wasting my life here.
Don't waste yours.
What are you trying to say, Dad?
Do you want to be in prison forever?
With you rotting in jail, how can I be happy out there?
Even if you find the time, don't ever come to see me.
So many of them in the apartment died because of me.
(crying)
(sad music)
Sir, we have been told that
the body present in the suitcase is of Sri Purnima.
Can you confirm it for our viewers?
We are still investigating. I cannot give you any details right now.
(reporter on TV) Sir, our sources have told us that she,
Sri Purnima, is living outside with a fake identity>
and this lady is someone else.
I am not here to offer clarity.
I have a request to the public.
Any info on Sri Purnima in the last few years...
Please come to us and talk to us. Thank you.
Why do these authors use classic Telugu words?
Damn. I can't understand half the book because of them.
Hmm. Are you really interested in reading or not?
Uh, I have read a few.
Sure, I can see.
Will you believe me if I show you the results?
Come.
- Where? - (Rishi tsks)
Devika has called me. Let's go.
Hmm? Okay...
- (beeps) - (door opens)
Hmm.
- (whistling) - (plastic rustles)
Bad smell. (sniffing)
He must have come here some ten times.
You know what he saw the first time?
- Undergarment sizes... - Stop it!
Hey! Don't flatter me. It's okay. Forget it.
But then they proved useful to the case.
The undergarments that Rishi saw were brought by the fake Sri Purnima.
Really?
The woman with the ring? It was her.
- The fake Sri Purnima? - Uh...
- I saw it on the news. - Huh?
An impostor used the identity of the deceased lady, right?
Yes.
So, I had to call him again, though I have no faith in him.
Just like the ring, he might see other minute details.
Whatever you might see...
just give me a proper lead.
Hmm.
(suspenseful music)
Rishi, wait.
Actually, I somehow feel this is not right.
What?
I mean... when he touches her, he might see how she died.
Or he might see what she had done before dying.
Uh, but he will be equally confused.
So?
So... it takes ten thousand hours of research.
Huh? Meh...
(Megha) It's not that.
This case is a huge opportunity for us too.
If you don't mind,
can you give us the old files of the case and an hour's time?
When he gets a better grasp of the case, he'll see clearly.
Trust me. Please?
Hmm. Okay.
I will get the files. Please wait.
Where are you taking the case files?
Megha and Rishi are in the lab.
They want to study the case before Rishi touches the body.
Definitely, this isn't Rishi's idea.
Megha asked for it.
(emotional music)
It was Megha, right?
The right person who Rishi met?
What made you think it was her?
You won't tell me anything?
This is unfair, isn't it?
How much ever I hold back, you find it all reading my face.
But I can't see a thing on your face unless you tell me.
Harishchandra.
Megha's father.
He is the main accused in the Maruthi Apartments fire case.
(tense music)
Go to the lab.
I will go get the fake woman's sketch.
(eerie music)
(door thuds)
(metal box thuds)
- File... - (ominous music)
(Raghav) Megha's father.
He is the main accused in the Maruthi Apartments fire case.
(Devika) Does Rishi know this?
(Raghav) No.
Can we see the case files of Godavari Hospital?
We can get details of the fake Sri Purnima.
Ah! The woman with a ring.
Uh, actually,
we have the sketch of the fake person too.
Raghav said he would bring it.
- What? - Huh?
- Is Raghav coming? - Yes.
Since you two are here, he said he'd come.
He may get angry that we are here without his permission.
Hello! I handle this case as well.
My permission is good enough.
Don't worry.
When he heard you both were here, he smiled.
I have never seen such a sincere smile on him.
Oh!
(door lock clicks, screeches)
(dark music)
(dog barking)
(door thuds)
- Thanks. - Okay, sir.
(dark music continues)
(intriguing music)
(music turns electrifying)
- (loud thuds) - (blood squelching)
(Kabir) Renu... Sri Purnima...
I need both your names.
(hammer clangs)
(exhales)
(woman whimpering)
Aren't you dead yet?
I don't want to kill you either.
(Kabir) But what can I do?
My client won't be pleased.
I am sorry.
(hammer clangs, loud thud)
(grunts)
Renu, Sri Purnima... collapsed bleeding from the head.
Tell me whatever you have seen. Every detail.
Black suitcase.
(grunting in pain)
This is the guy who killed them both.
Kabir?
- Are you sure? - Yes! This is the guy.
Why did he kill them?
And why was he killed?
Sure, sir. I will meet you in the evening.
I still remember.
He spoke to Raghav, and when he was coming to meet us, they killed him.
(Devika) Why did they kill...
Rishi, Rishi... Rishi, are you okay?
Rishi!
Rishi...
- Rishi? - Rishi!
- What happened? - Rishi!
(door click opens)
- (Megha) Get up, Rishi. - Raghav...
So, Kabir bludgeoned them both to death with a hammer.
Yes.
He said his client wouldn't be pleased if he didn't kill them.
You mean... Kabir was the killer.
But there was someone else involved.
Can I have the sketch, Raghav?
Did you see this lady?
(eerie musical sting)
Uh-uh.
- Is she the fake Sri Purnima? - Hmm.
Could she be Kabir's client?
(suspenseful music)
I mean... maybe she got her killed to steal her identity.
So, Kabir's entire statement is false.
(Rishi whistling)
It feels weird.
How can you not recall anything from such an important case?
It's been three years since this happened.
What is weird is to remember all the details.
Remembering such details helps your psychometry.
Hey...
(phone ringing)
(continues whistling)
- Hello? - (Aunt) Megha.
Your dad attempted suicide in jail.
(tense music)
Dad!
Why did you come?
(crying)
I... told you not to come.
Consider your dad dead.
How can you talk to me like this?
I don't want you to waste your life for my sake.
(Megha tsks)
Please don't come to see me.
Dad! Please don't talk to me like that.
When you stay strong here, I can fight stronger.
Dad...
you told me something when I was little. Remember?
The smallest wound, if unattended, could become fatal.
(gasping)
Dad, I am attending to it.
Please trust me.
I will get you out.
You committed no crime, Dad.
Dad...
Please...
(crying)
My dad is not a criminal.
Slow down your drinking.
Megha and Rishi are unaware of their connection, right?
They will discover it slowly.
Why should they?
Why are you putting them together while making them discover it?
Once Rishi's skills are developed,
if psychometry is tried on Megha,
Rishi will find out who was behind the fire accident in those apartments.
Megha will find out whether her father is innocent or not.
Whatever happened back then, everyone will now learn the truth.
If Rishi finds out Megha's father is to blame for his parents' death...
or Megha finds out her father is a criminal,
they won't be able to take it.
Though unbearable, certain truths must be learnt.
(melodious music)
Bye!
(laughs)
Hmm...
How is uncle?
Hmm?
I mean... I saw you cry for your dad.
He is fine.
Thanks.
(bustling traffic)
- (electrifying music) - (gasps)
(intriguing music)
Rolly!
(Rolly whining)
Hey! Here you are!
Someone was here, right?
You are okay. You are okay. Calm down. Calm down.
You are okay. You are okay.
Was it around 7:00?
Because there was a complaint about your dog barking at that time.
- At 7:00? - Yes, sir.
Was there a theft?
Take out the CCTV footage.
Uh, sir... CCTV maintenance was going on at the same time, sir.
- Was it scheduled or sudden? - It was sudden, sir.
Thanks.
Hey! It was definitely that guy.
I checked the entire house. Nothing is missing.
Except one.
Did he take your photo?
You know who he is.
But you won't tell me, right?
(Raghav) After I put you in the orphanage,
I decided not to come back.
Only because of him...
What do you mean?
Did you run away because of him?
Hmm.
Why did you come back now?
I have come back for him.
I'll find him.
And kill him.
(music intensifies)
(music fades out)
