Jenny, what happened?
Don't be scared.
No idea what exactly happened.
It was dark, buddy.
I did not see it coming.
Please let's not discuss this over here.
I said come on. Let's all go.
Go, go, go!
-Jenny, quick! -Come on, go.
Keep moving.
Sekar, open that door!
-Giri, come on. -Saleem, open the door!
Oh, my God! Open the door.
Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, open the door.
-Hey, Kannan. You go that side. -Jenny, Jenny? Sekar?
-Come on, get to it. -Okay.
-Hey, hey, hey! -Volga!
Let's go to the other door.
Come on, let's go over there.
Hold that door.
-Kannan, Kannan? -Open the fucking door!
Can you hear me?
Volga, Saleem, can you hear me?
Jenny, Jenny?
Vivek!
Can you hear me?
It's not clear...
Jenny, what happened?
-Hey, Jenny! -The signal is jammed.
I have no idea what to do. I'm not able to open the doors.
I'm not able to open the other door as well.
Is there another way out?
There are exits all around us.
Let's all spread out. Go, go!
Send the crew to the spot. We should be the first to break the news.
-Hey, come on. Over here. -Run faster!
Open the door!
An unfortunate incident occurred at the live telecast
of independent television channel Nam TV.
There has been one casualty.
I tried calling Kalai. She's not picking up.
I'm not sure what's happening out there.
-Jenny, Jenny, hello? -I'll check behind the house.
Buddy, open the door! Volga!
I'm not able to open the back door as well.
-What the hell are you saying? -It's locked from within.
I highly doubt they'll do that.
Oviya, please take these.
Fuck!
Our first priority is to save the people trapped inside.
-What's happening out there? -They're planning something.
-God! God! No one's picking up, man! -They're in big trouble. Do something!
We're doomed. All of us are trapped inside.
One person is already dead.
I doubt if we will really make it out alive.
Don't worry, Kalai.
Jenny, it's all because of you!
What did I do?
That's right. It's because of you.
You knew there was something wrong with this house.
Still you risked our lives.
Tell me, Jenny. You were aware, right?
Each one of us were aware before we got in.
Don't act smart.
You're not the person who makes decisions on other's opinions.
I know you very well.
Your obstinacy has got a person killed.
You knew there was something in here.
Tell me!
Fine, I knew!
So, you wanna do it here?
Generally, in locations like this,
film songs are shot.
I wanted our first time to happen in such a beautiful location.
That's my greatest fantasy.
You're such a brat!
What about you?
I am a very good girl.
Let's check how much of a good girl you are.
Shall we move to the back seat?
You truly are a good girl.
-What happened? -Hey...
I think someone's outside.
There's no one outside.
You must be hallucinating.
Killing the mood, damn it.
Rascal.
Karthik.
I'm really scared, Karthik.
Obviously, it's your first time.
That's how it is.
It's not that. I'm sure there's someone out here.
Please let's leave immediately from here.
Start the car.
Okay.
But later we're doing it, okay?
Okay, fine. Let's go.
No wonder. I had engaged the central lock.
Prema!
Karthik!
What happened?
Karthik!
Prema! Prema!
Prema!
Prema, come on, get up.
Prema, come on, get up. Quick!
Be careful.
Karthik, I'm really scared.
-Just a bit more. -I can't.
Come on, keep moving, come on.
Please try and make it.
Hey, Karthik!
Prema, don't cross that deity.
Don't come here! Go away!
-Don't cross that deity! -Someone please help us!
Go away, Prema!
-Help us! -Go away!
Don't come over here! Go away!
Don't come over here! Please go away!
Prema, go away! Go away!
-Karthik! -Go away!
Welcome back to Dark Tales. It's not a story but the truth.
With me, VJ Aravind.
You just witnessed how scary that video was.
It's really scary to learn that it's a true-life incident.
Yes, that's the specialty of our programme.
We go in search of such true horror stories,
along with additional information and research,
making us the only anchored programme in business.
Okay, we just watched Prema from that fictional video.
Now we have the real victim Prema with us over here at the studio.
So, please welcome Prema.
Hello, Prema.
Everyone witnessed what exactly happened.
What happened after that incident?
It was dawn when I woke up.
People who were passing by rescued me and took me to the hospital.
Based on the information I gave them, they helped me find the car.
But that car was not damaged at all.
Then we went looking for Karthik in the forest.
But we couldn't find him.
There was no evidence of such an incident happening.
The thing that attacked us, if it was human or animal,
magic or wizardry, I'm really not sure what it was.
It's been two years since that incident.
The hope of his return is dwindling by the day.
Prema, please don't cry.
Karthik, will return soon.
Be strong!
Viewers, this is nothing but black magic.
There's a small village called Mayang in Assam.
That's the capital of necromancy and voodoo.
Humans taking the form of animals
or vanishing into thin air
or hypnotizing animals to go wild.
There are many varieties of black magic being practiced.
The most important ritual is nothing but human sacrifice.
The belief that human sacrifice gives them supernatural powers
has led to many horrific murders.
Even though we live in an era of advanced technology,
there's a cult which wanders in the night to attain the extreme powers of black magic.
It's them who preyed upon Karthik and Prema.
For the safe return of Karthik,
my unit and I pray for him.
If you viewers pray for him too,
Karthik will definitely return.
I'll meet you guys again with yet another horror story.
Until then goodbye from your VJ Aravind.
Dark Tales. It's not a story but the truth.
Jenny!
I'd like to thank the Academy and the jury for this amazing honour.
I always wanted to say this and now I'm saying it.
I'm extremely grateful to my kick-ass team for having made this possible.
Cheers, guys.
You're the best!
And now Dark Tales is number one!
I always had this weird fascination for ghosts, black magic and supernatural stuff.
Questioning my belief in the same?
It's 50-50.
But my undiluted faith in my team is 200%.
And now over to my wife, Ashwin.
The cameraman of the show.
Hey, darling! Where are you, baby?
Honey!
That's how she is.
It's said that the relationship between a director and a cameraman
is of husband and wife.
She's just making that point.
We have been friends since our days in DFT.
If you ask about our relationship?
-Hi, Jenny. -Hey, what's up?
Selma.
Please leave.
Jenny, one minute. I'll be back.
Jenny.
Can you please close your eyes for a minute?
What?
I'll come back later.
Love you, Jenny.
Shall we get married?
Hey, get lost.
Go and do your job.
Jenny, what about college? Love?
-What about last night? -Not a chance.
So, did you check out the location?
First, check that out, then share the pictures on WhatsApp. Go.
Men.
That's about it.
She doesn't take anything seriously other than work.
Hi, I'm Saleem. I'm the editor of this programme.
I was their senior in college.
Since then, whenever they have an issue,
I'll be called in as their counsel.
Next is our writer of the show.
You can in fact call him my secret affair.
Shall I tell you a secret about him?
Boss lady, I'll handle my introduction.
Hello, I'm Kannan. The writer of this show.
She must've mentioned it.
I started off with stories, poetry and articles,
and now I've finished screenplays for two films.
Writing is my life.
But Jenny loves to make my life a living hell.
What the hell have you done?
Did you watch it? Isn't it awesome?
It's now the talk of the town.
Social media is on fire
wondering if it's actually the truth.
This is not my script, damn it.
Moreover, you declared him dead when he's actually alive.
You should've come to me if you needed any changes in the script.
Instead, you spun a fictional story
and credited it as "script by Kannan Ranganathan."
I'm talking to you, damn it.
The point is there's no thrill if he's alive.
Was what they said interesting?
-Or was my version interesting? -Of course, yours!
Then shut the hell up.
That's the thing about Jenny.
She'll go to any extent to get her work done right.
Let that be. Should I tell them that secret, or will you?
It's nothing. There's a girl in our team called Selma.
I have a little crush and then it turned into love.
I've been trying for days to express my love.
He's lying to you guys.
Who is that?
Not many days,
but it's been years since he's trying to propose. I'm that Selma.
I'm Jenny's first AD.
We studied together in the same college.
My parents live in Malaysia.
At present, I live with Jenny.
This guy is way too innocent.
I've been waiting forever for him to propose,
but he doesn't propose at all.
Hey, guys. I'm Volga.
I'm the producer of this show.
I was born and bred in Dubai.
I came down for higher studies and settled over here.
I'm the bridge of the channel.
And the show.
I believe in living in this moment.
Next, next, next.
Of course!
Hi, I'm Mike. Executive editor of Nam TV.
If you ask about me, I'm their support system.
In fact, I'm hosting this party right now.
Next is me. I'm Sekar.
I'm the art director of this show.
No, no, next is me.
Move that camera a bit.
A bit more. That's perfect.
Hi, I'm Kalai.
I'm the costume and make-up designer of this show.
Hold on, let me finish. Then you can introduce yourself.
Not a chance. How can I let you do it?
Next is me.
And the best couple award goes to both of you.
Thank you.
Nothing much. We have been in love since our school days.
"Have been" in love? "Were" in love!
She broke up over a silly matter.
What are you calling a silly matter?
It's not at all an issue. That chic asked for a massage.
Damn you! Why don't you guys be the judge?
-See if it's a silly matter. -Which matter is it?
Which one? I have no idea.
And cut.
Shot okay.
-Coffee, ma'am? -Hey!
-Are you feeling really cold? -Yes, a tad bit.
Cover yourself well.
Hello, hello, stop right there.
She's projecting the wrong point of view.
Gawking at girls is one of the traits of a man.
And I'm not a saint.
It's not fair to get angry over that.
You stop it.
You guys watch the entire clip.
-Then I'll get back to you. -Go ahead and watch.
-Hey, hold my hands. -Ouch!
Hey, hey, be careful.
Is it hurting?
Show me your leg. Come on, show me.
-Oh, no! -It's hurting right over there.
Cool, cool, dear. I think you need a massage, right? Yeah.
Okay.
-I'll give you a good massage. -What did I do?
Hello, we are here.
Brother, move aside.
Now, that's what I meant about the wrong point of view.
I said, "I think you need a massage."
I never asked, "Shall I give you a massage?"
Women are never broad-minded.
They make up fictional stories in their minds.
Then they create a scene out of it.
Then they bawl their eyes out.
Finally, break-up.
Just stop it.
Don't you think we know about men's fickleness?
Are you an art director or a production boy?
Serving her juice, taking her number,
speaking over the phone,
both your WhatsApp last-seen statuses,
and then the massage and other crap.
Damn, she knows.
How much can a girl take all of this shit?
Hereafter, we have nothing to do with each other.
You can offer your massage services to as many as you wish.
Welcome, Mr. Perfect!
You're always late for the shoot. Now for the party too.
Listen, is it not enough that you annoy me at the shoot?
Shut up.
Hi, hello. I'm Aravind.
The anchor of this show. You guys know me already.
I'm not just an anchor.
I'm starring as a lead in two films.
VJs from Vijay TV like DD, Ramya and Priyanka. I'm theirs forever.
I mean I'm their tough competitor.
I'm thirsty. Let me quench it with a peg. I'll be back soon.
So, now, guys, enough of this fucking bullshit.
Let the party begin!
Thank you so much, guys. This is DJ Skull signing off.
This is the last track of the night.
Do you guys watch my show?
I'm starring as a lead in two movies.
Two heroines.
You don't seem a good match for me.
Otherwise, you could've starred along with me.
But you look good though.
We'll take care of this later.
One minute.
Tell me, bro.
Is it?
Fine, I'll inform Jenny. Bye.
Don't go anywhere. I'll be back soon.
Just two minutes. I'll be back.
Hey, he seems nice.
Hey, go and profess your love to Selma.
You mean right now?
Yes, this is the right time. Only then everyone will know about it.
If you don't, she'll go off to Malaysia.
If you do, then you can settle down with her.
-It was even better. -No, no, it wasn't better.
Jenny, Deepa's serial promo has launched on Sky TV.
Is Deepa really so jobless?
She started doing TV so soon during her career.
Who knows? Fine, let's watch that promo.
Why do we have to watch that?
Listen, it's airing in our time slot.
-Dark Tales time slot? -Yes, my dear.
-Oh, shit. -Okay, come.
What do we do now?
-Watch me now. -Hold on for a minute.
Hold on, buddy. You gotta look smart.
You're right.
You look really handsome.
Victory is ours. Go and rock it, dude.
-Hey, hey, stay right here. -Go on, buddy.
You're going to nail it.
-Set that glass over there and go. -Thanks, buddy.
He's going to be dead meat.
Family. A mega serial.
Starting from Monday at 9 p.m. on Sky TV.
Hey, we don't have to worry about this.
Poor audience.
They're watching the same story on every channel with a different title.
Fine, it's getting late. I have to go.
-Okay. -Bye.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow at the office. Bye.
-Where did I put my keys? -What happened?
I'll take care of it. Bye.
Bye.
-Bye, Kalai. -Bye, Kannan.
Hi.
How's everything?
Yeah, good.
Actually...
Damn it, nightmare!
Just two minutes. I'll be back.
Kalai.
Kalai?
Where's Kalai?
Hey, we don't have to worry about this.
Bye.
-Bye, Kalai. -Bye, Kannan.
Hey, don't bend down. Hey, hey!
Kalai!
Hey, what is it?
Nothing, It felt like glass pierced my skin.
Hey!
Oh, no. Blood!
-Selva! -Sekar!
Kannan, please quickly come over here!
Please take him to the hospital.
Hey, be careful. Don't strain your hand.
Sekar!
