Wait, princess.
Please wear your 'paduka'.
- Wear what? - 'Paduka.'
'Khadau'! Footwear.
If thorns prick your delicate soles,
it will pain me.
And this
hea...
Hea... What was it?
Heart? No...
What...
- I... - That was all the Hindi you knew!
No, I know more, but heart...
What was it? Something with h...
My 'padukas.'
Why are you roaming about with my sandals?
It'd have looked funnier if I wore them, right?
Wear them.
[wind whooshing]
"Written on the pages of love"
"is a story unfulfilled."
"It is not new."
"It started years ago..."
Hang on. I can wear it myself.
People make couple goals for no reason.
- They should make footwear goals. - Why?
Well, because there's no better couple.
If one is lost, the other one's life is over.
Hashtag "footweargoals".
Aren't you ashamed? Who cracks such lame jokes?
Aren't you ashamed?
- Who has such a bad sense of humour? - You!
- Did you leave your sense of humour in London? - You...
"Dakini!"
Koyal's doll!
[ominous music playing]
Mom, Mishti doll is not in the car either.
It's all right, Koyal.
- I'll get you a new Mishti doll. - What if that goes missing too?
This time, tie its hands around your neck
and sport it like a chain!
- Hmm. - Okay?
Now, go to sleep.
[solemn music playing]
'You want proof!'
'You are the proof, Mr. Choudhury!'
'Have you seen these marks?'
'And it was this locket that saved your life.'
'This locket...'
[unsettling music playing]
'Swastika.'
'Swastika!'
- [Bengali] 'What happened, Arnab? - [Bengali] What happened?'
'Did you give this locket to Ayaan?'
'Hey! You shouldn't have!'
'Arnab!'
'This locket should always be around his neck.'
'Arnab, please! It should be around his neck at all times!'
'Enough!'
'Shivam!'
'Take Ayaan inside.'
'Why don't you understand, Arnab?'
'Ayaan's life is in danger.'
'To save his life, Nandini gave this locket to him.'
'Dakini wants to put Ayaan under her spell, Arnab.'
- 'Arnab, please... - Stop it, please!'
'I feel that fraudster of a woman has you both under her spell.'
'Dakini does not exist.'
[zapping]
[white noise]
What happened?
She...
That girl Meera...
Whose daughter is she, Mom?
Who's her mother? Tell me!
[sad music playing]
Whose daughter is she, Mom?
Meera's mother was Nandini.
[unsettling music playing]
Mom!
That woman put the idea of Dakini in my wife's head!
My wife lost her life because of that woman!
Ayaan lost his mother because of her!
And you left my son with that woman's daughter!
You never understood Nandini, Arnab!
- That poor woman... - Don't empathise with her, Mom!
I must stop Ayaan from meeting that girl.
Where's my phone?
I'll call him, Uncle.
Pablo, go and get Ayaan home. Go.
Stop this foolhardiness!
Can't you see?
Ayaan gets disturbed if someone says anything
about his mother's house.
And now, by telling him all this about his mother,
you want to cause him more trouble.
Mother, what if whatever Arnab said about Nandini is true?
Ayaan should be with us right now!
I don't care who Ayaan is with
as long as he isn't in this house.
Until Meera is with Ayaan,
no harm will come to him.
[pensive music playing]
What's this doing here?
Oh!
- There's another problem. - What?
My family took the car. How will I drop you?
- You're one weird clingy guy! - What?
When did I ask you to drop me home? I'll go on my own.
Do you think Thakuma wouldn't give me a hard time if I left you here?
Then don't tell Thakuma.
What she doesn't know won't hurt her.
You're encouraging me to lie!
Don't ruin me by telling me to lie to my elders.
I'm a chivalrous, well-mannered and helpful boy.
Fine. I don't want your chivalry, etiquette or help.
The pressure to do everything alone and also the stress about your dad!
I know you're always angry.
I know the situation isn't good right now,
but the doctor said that your father is stable now.
He'll wake up from the coma soon.
So, just relax.
Things will be fine, don't worry.
The doctor already told me everything.
So, don't repeat it and...
"Written on the pages of love"
"is a story unfulfilled."
"It is not new..."
Tell me.
Is there one?
What?
A taxi service!
How will we commute?
Does this place have a taxi service or not?
Why do we need it? I have my own ride.
You have a ride! Where's it?
Over there. There it is.
[whimsical music playing]
[chuckles] Is this your ride?
Did you put a lock on the bike or put the bike on the lock?
[chain clanking]
I don't think anyone would steal it.
[whimsical music playing]
Hmm. Sit.
[chuckles] Really?
Do you really think I'd sit on this?
I don't want to go anywhere on this kid's bicycle!
Will you ride the lock then?
Why would I ride a lock?
There must be some mode of transport here.
Okay. Do one thing, this...
Here, take Koyal's doll with you.
[solemn music playing]
"Dakini!"
You know, I'm fond of cycling too.
I'd ride the bike in London to commute.
Riding bikes in London has its own charm.
Superb style, solid speed and pretty roads.
It's enjoyable.
Hello! The road's that side. Where are you going?
In the jungle!
[ominous music playing]
The jungle!
[eerie music playing]
[eerie vocalisation]
"Dakini!"
Hello!
[electricity crackling]
[lights flickering]
[malefic music playing]
Do you remember, Swastika?
I bought this bottle many years back.
I thought we'd celebrate
our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary
together.
Our wedding anniversary's here
but you went far away from me, Swastika.
And Mom has left our Ayaan
in that girl's care.
I miss you so much, Swastika.
[eerie vocalisation]
[blood dripping]
[eldritch vocalisation]
[music intensifies]
"Dakini!"
Why are we going through the jungle instead of the road?
This is a shortcut.
Why are all your shortcuts through the jungle?
Are you afraid?
Everyone's afraid of wild animals. Why? Aren't you?
Ishu is scared of being alone
and my fears are nothing in comparison to my sister's.
But if you're still scared, you can go back.
And leave you alone in the jungle? Wow!
Solitude is my childhood friend
and I feel safer with my childhood friend than in a crowd.
[sentimental vocalisation]
"Dakini!"
[eerie vocalisation]
Had there been a tiny road here for you and your childhood friend,
I'd have felt safer.
Listen.
[whimsical music playing]
- What happened? - This happened fifty years ago.
A man with a car came here from Kolkata.
He fell in love with a girl in this village.
They vowed to be together till eternity.
Then one day,
that man and his car were both gone.
That girl was lonely in love.
She cried incessantly until she died.
And so, it is said
that whoever drives a car on this route
sees that girl.
And they hear her calling out to them. "Babu! Babu..."
"Dakini!"
[laughs]
Sorry.
What does she say?
"Babu! Babu..." [chuckles]
There are better stories in Koyal's books!
Oh, hello! This is no story. It's the history of this village.
Besides, people tried hard to build a road here,
but trees fell and machinery sunk into the earth.
And yes! One time, a few workers died.
Meera Ghosh from customer care, this is a jungle.
There could be a quagmire here,
trees could fall and without precaution, people could even die.
Such rumours are circulated to prevent development, all right?
Wait a minute.
How is it opposing development if they tried to build a road?
And why is it so hard for you to believe
there's something here that causes obstruction?
Not everything has to have logic.
"Dakini!"
[eerie music playing]
Ah!
- What happened? - [clanking]
I don't know. The locket is making my skin burn.
You were fine until now.
Yes, but... Ah!
[tense music playing]
There's no logic to this either.
There is.
I'm probably allergic to this metal
and had a late reaction.
- I'll take it off. - No! Don't you dare!
Just a minute. No... Wait.
[romantic music playing]
[eerie vocalisation]
[romantic song playing]
[song fades out]
If your logic is rational, then you won't have a reaction now.
Let's go.
Hang on.
Where did Koyal's doll go?
[tense music playing]
I don't know. It must have fallen somewhere.
It's all right, let's go.
Why?
It'll take two minutes. Let's look for it.
[whistles tune]
[whistling]
[unnerving music playing]
[whistling continues]
Mr. Choudhury is quiet. Who's whistling?
[whistling continues]
[suspenseful music playing]
[whistling continues]
[leaves rustling]
[unsettling music playing]
- [ominous vocalisation] - [gasps]
[suspenseful music playing]
[music intensifies]
[screaming]
"Dakini!"
Found it.
[ominous vocalisation]
Ah, it...
- What happened? - Come on.
But what happened?
- Hey! - This doll is defective. I'll get Koyal a new one.
- Just come on, let's go. - But what happened?
Nothing, come on.
[spooky music playing]
[Bengali] "You are mine."
[Bengali] "Don't ever"
"leave me."
[Bengali] 'I am'
'Dakini!'
[suspenseful music playing]
[electricity crackling]
[eerie music playing]
[music fades out]
Please call your family.
Someone will come and pick you up.
Wow! You're throwing me out of your house.
- Yes. - Why?
What have I done?
Why don't you like me? Why do you hate me so much?
No.
I don't hate you.
It's really late.
I thought your family must be waiting for you.
[music playing]
[sinister laugh]
'Meera's mother was Nandini.'
'Dakini is responsible for Dad's condition.'
'Until Meera is with him...'
'There really is a spirit in Rajbari.'
- 'Nothing will happen to Ayaan. - Dakini is behind it.'
I am with you.
My life was full of questions.
You're the answer to all my questions.
I wish I could introduce you to my mother.
Don't you miss your mother a lot?
Do you want to meet her?
Ayaan!
Stop, Ayaan!
Don't listen to her, Ayaan!
Okay.
I'll take you to your mother.
Don't listen to her, Ayaan! Stop!
Ayaan!
Ayaan... Ayaan!
Ayaan! Oh, God! This...
Ayaan! Ayaan, get up!
I forbade you!
Ayaan!
Ayaan...
Ayaan! My son...
Where's my son?
Ayaan!
Ayaan! Are you all right, Ayaan?
[electricity crackling]
[Dakini] He is still alive.
Kill that girl!
Save your Ayaan.
Yes...
I will kill her.
[eerie vocalisation]
I will save my son.
[eerie vocalisation]
"Dakini!"
[music fades out]
