It matches.
Are you looking for someone?
I...
You shouldn't be here at this hour.
This place is haunted by a demon.
And blood-sucking bats as well.
Dozens of people have come to this jungle.
But they... were never seen again.
The demon's spirit craves blood.
And-- - I see...
If this jungle is so dangerous,
Then what are you doing here?
Me?
I live close by.
I saw you coming here,
so came here to stop you.
I have been here before.
Back then I dropped my phone here.
But somehow it landed back in my house.
Someone kept this in my room,
and also ate my Pudding.
How would I know who did that?
But I never said that you do.
I think it must be the jungle demon.
He returned my phone,
and ate my 'pudding' in return.
He doesn't seem so bad.
No. The demon is very bad.
That's why he is called the demon.
I see.
Do you want to call someone?
I know it's a basic phone.
My smartphone used to have more features.
But--
Hey, what are you doing?
You could have broken my phone.
Hello.
Yes, mom.
Yes, I gave papa his dinner.
I am on my way home. Yes.
Don't stare at me like this.
And you please don't come here.
This jungle is a scary place.
I don't believe in ghosts, spirits and demons.
These are imaginary stories
to scare children, and keep them away from the jungle.
By the way, can I give you a lift?
Let's go.
Don't come back here again.
This place is filled with danger.
Enough about that.
How will you get home now?
I live close by. I'll manage on my own.
I see...
Ohh, I forgot to ask your name.
What is your name?
Thank you.
Edison.
Ma'am! You?
When did you get here?
How are you?
I am okay, ma'am. How are you?
Me...
I am good.
Did you see the posters in the city, ma'am?
Of the Circus?
It's everywhere.
So the Circus has begun preparing.
They made it all the way to the jungle, ma'am.
And see what I found there.
They were trying to burn down the jungle.
What?
Burn down the jungle.
Idiots.
They were goons for hire, ma'am.
Came up with this stupid idea.
They wouldn't know the importance of the jungle.
But, don't worry, I... took care of them.
Good, Edison.
Any idea where these posters were printed?
Look.
Yes.
This...
I don't know where these posters were printed.
But I do know which machine was used to print these.
Rotogravure machine.
Nearly 60 years ago,
these machines were used to print calendars and comics.
Comics?
Do you still read comics, Edison?
No, ma'am.
I don't read or create them anymore.
Anyway, find out where this was printed.
I am on it, ma'am.
Edison.
How is your son?
I saw him as a kid.
He has Sonia's eyes.
That's the only similarity they have, ma'am.
He doesn't have a grain of sincerity.
He has time to waste on everything except for his studies.
So did Sonia.
Remember. One day you will be proud of him.
Hope so.
Please, find that out.
I am on it, ma'am.
Take care, ma'am. - Take care.
Any luck arranging the money?
No, Johnson.
I don't think I have that kind of money.
Leave it.
I want to talk about yesterday-- - Parth.
Parth. Parth.
Sometimes you must take tough decisions to change the world.
Big success, and big change,
often demands a big sacrifice.
What is your plan, Johnson?
My plan is very simple.
When senior George won't be at home in the afternoon,
we shall lay siege.
Like Bhagat Singh and gang did with the British.
Understood?
You can pick locks?
How?
My mom taught me how to.
She was way cooler than my dad.
Whose money is this?
My dad, of course.
He was saving this money to import a printer.
This is that money.
So you are stealing your dad's money.
I am not stealing it.
Just borrowing it.
It's called stealing, Johnson.
Keep it back-- - Chill.
What was that noise?
I think ma'am taught us this. - Yes.
So it's important.
Ma'am said we must revise this. So, please...
Hi, dad. Meet my friend Parth.
Hello, uncle. - Hello.
We...
We were doing group studies.
Group studies.
You barely study for your exams.
And group studies on the third day of school?
Good.
And you?
Aren't you Dr. Negi's son?
Maintain your distance from him.
For your own good.
Now I've no regret stealing his money.
My father deserves this.
No, Johnson.
Stealing is wrong. What if you get caught?
I know you are the apple of your parent's eyes,
but I didn't know you were a wimp.
I don't care what you call me, Johnson.
This doesn't seem right to me.
You see, Parth, even if we weren't repeating class 9,
we could never find a job, that paid 10,000 a day.
So, in case you have a better idea, let's hear it.
And yes, if you want,
I can borrow 5000 for you from papa's fund.
Then you will have to arrange only 5000 more.
Think about it. No hurry.
These comic books.
Yeah, these belong to my father.
"Wolfa."
"Super Cop Manu."
"Naagrani." (Serpent queen).
I've read them several times.
Secretly.
Why secretly?
Well... dad used to write comics himself,
and he also ran a comic store.
But he would never let me read it.
It's the height of hypocrisy.
And you never asked him why?
Dad became pretty annoying after mom's death.
So I never asked.
But he dreamed to become a comic book artist.
He was also writing a book.
'Vann Rakshak.'
I don't know where he stashed it.
I will read it at the first chance I get.
'Vann Rakshak?'
Yeah... the spirit of the jungle.
'Vann Rakshas.'
It was about him.
He turned him into a superhero.
Johnson, I have to speak to you about that.
That demon...
I think I saw him--
Wait a second. Did you see a ghost?
No, I didn't see him, but I had this feeling someone--
Parth, full stop.
Don't tell anyone at home that you saw a ghost.
Or else they will think,
the pressure of failure is driving you crazy.
Well, when I failed the first time,
even I saw scary things.
I saw Hooda sir in my dreams.
Sheila ma'am looked like a serial killer to me.
But I got better when dad took me to a shaman.
You don't believe in ghosts, do you?
No.
That's it then. Once we get promoted to class 10,
you will stop seeing things.
Do you know, when our mind's not in place,
we start seeing things we think about.
Imagine if I had thought about Disha Patni,
I would have seen her. Sight for sore eyes, right?
Hello, Nysa.
You?
I was at your house. You weren't there.
Why?
And how did you know where I am?
Lafu knows where to find anyone,
anywhere at any time in Bheem Mukteshwar.
The winds here whisper to me.
Basically, you stalk people.
Absolutely not, Nysa.
I was passing by and noticed you.
And I had to deliver your parcel as well.
How do you have my parcel?
Do you work as a delivery boy as well?
Actually, the poor delivery boy fell sick.
So my heart and I thought
we should help the poor boy out, and that was it.
You like helping people, don't you?
Always.
I've a very soft heart.
He hasn't changed at all.
Sir, theoretically, scientifically or realistically,
nothing is making sense.
Fourth-stage cancer patients are recovering, Sir.
It is a miracle.
Rawat, you are a man of science.
You should scratch off words like 'miracle' from your dictionary, please.
Doctor...
Doctor, it's Mr. Vyas.
Impossible!
How can it happen?
Go inform Dr. Vineeta. Now!
Angry?
Well... so am I.
You wasted all these facilities, machines, and equipment,
in keeping me alive for 10 years.
When, in fact you could have used this technology,
for these young children.
Mr. Vyas--
Call me Mrityunjay, doctor--
Dr. Arjun Negi, Sir.
Sir, I hope you're feeling fine.
I am the senior most doctor here. Dr. Vineeta Saankla.
I think I should call your trustees.
Dr. Vineeta.
I woke up from a coma after 10 years.
Do you think after waking up,
my accountant is the first person I would want to meet?
I would be happier talking to these kids.
Come on, help me catch up.
What happened in these last 10 years?
Come on, Doctor, tell me.
Mr. Vyas, I think you should rest.
Okay.
Dr. Negi, you are a very serious guy.
Rude people often have unhappy wife.
Anyway...
Nurse, let's go.
Take me to my boring room.
Let's go.
By the way, who is the Prime Minister?
Don't be disheartened, Heema.
These selectors are not too smart.
Yeah... even Micheal Jordan couldn't get selected for his school team.
Yet he became the greatest basketball player.
Hi, Parth.
Hi.
I have an idea.
Blame the demon for your failure.
You guys believe in him, don't you?
Say that he jinxed the selections.
Be quiet, Johnson!
Don't make fun of these things.
Look at that.
I gave her an idea and she got mad at me.
She works hard, and you make fun of her.
Heema's bag. She left it,
I'll go give it to her.
So, my dear child.
See, hard work doesn't guarantee results.
But you can use a shortcut to leap ahead.
What say?
Grandma.
This requires you to be slow and careful, isn't it?
Yes, one wrong stroke,
and all your hard work goes in vain.
So, Grandma.
Isn't there a shortcut?
Some things must be given the time they require.
And what if we have to take a shortcut to get to our aim?
It depends.
We can get to our aim using a shortcut,
but it doesn't guarantee a win.
Meaning?
It means...
Okay, let me tell you a story.
Maybe you'll understand.
Yo, grandma.
Hi... yo.
Here's the stuff you asked for.
Thank you. Thank you. Right on time.
Sit. Story time.
Yes.
This story is about Pushpmati and Puru.
In the ancient city of Almoda,
lived a beautiful and smart florist,
Pushpmati.
She was so beautiful,
that kings and princes from far and wide,
wanted to marry her.
But Pushpmati was as smart as she was beautiful.
She wanted to marry a warrior,
who was brave, strong and intelligent.
So Pushpmati announced a condition for her marriage.
Whoever will bring her the head of Mahasingha the ferocious lion,
the venom of Naagdant the deadly snake,
and the Agniheera diamond that shined brighter than the sun,
will win her hand in marriage.
Prince Puru of Janpat city accepted all three conditions.
He asked for 30 days.
And when he fulfilled all of Pushpmati's conditions on the 28th day,
Pushpmati was overjoyed.
The entire city got busy making arrangements
for Puru and Pushpmati's wedding.
A day before the wedding,
Pushpmati and Puru went into the woods for a hunt,
where a ferocious lion attacked them.
Puru couldn't land a single arrow on him.
The lion ferociously leapt on them.
Pushpmati grabbed Puru's sword in the nick of time,
and tamed the lion.
Pushpmati realised that Puru is keeping secrets from her.
Puru finally confessed,
that he doesn't know archery or swordsmanship.
Pushpmati was stunned.
She asked how did he manage to get,
Mahasingha's head and Naagdant's venom.
Puru said one of my soldiers got them for me.
I am a prince. I don't need to do any of this.
And anyway, you never said I've to get these things personally.
Pushpmati immediately stopped the wedding arrangements with Puru.
And she announced that she will marry his soldier instead.
Why is that?
Because Puru...
Took a shortcut? - He took a shortcut.
He achieved victory through someone else's hard work.
The hard work and time we invest in reaching our goals,
makes us wise and disciplined.
Shortcuts let us reach our goal,
but don't let us go too far.
Understood?
Yes, grandma.
Now, pick up the brush and give me a hand.
Add some green here.
Hello, Johnson.
Did you arrange the money?
Because I am on my way, to give Laffu my share of the money.
And, I also brought 5K for you along.
How soon are you coming?
No, Johnson. I don't want to get promoted like this.
Even if we use this shortcut to get to class 10,
and if our class 9 concepts are only not clear.
We will get stuck in class 10 again.
Stop preaching all the time.
I am allergic to it.
Allergic to excuses made by weaklings.
Understood?
Call it whatever you like, Johnson. I don't want to take shortcuts.
I don't want to be part of it. - Okay, fine. Go to hell.
Idiot.
So handsome... - Hi brother.
Did you get the money? - Yes, money.
Here are eight plus two.
That's ten. My share.
What about Parth?
Show some respect for the one that showed up,
stop grieving over the one that didn't.
Okay, my angry young man.
So I am getting promoted to class 10?
What did I tell you?
Yes.
Guarantee.
Okay, relax. - Yes.
Go. - Yes.
Mother...
Have you seen the posters?
The Circus is back in town.
And surprisingly,
patients at the cancer research centre are recovering on their own.
This cannot be a coincidence.
I am telling you,
the time has come.
Got that.
Careful. Careful.
Hi.
You know, wimps don't suit on back benches.
Johnson, please.
Look, sir is here. Get up. Get up. Get up.
Good morning, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Johnson. Parth.
What's wrong with you two?
You two haven't said a word to each other since morning.
We can talk and sort.
Talking can solve everything.
I don't want to talk to wimps.
That's your problem, Johnson.
You try to be a hero where it's not required.
You don't want to accept that your idea can be wrong.
Yes. Because I'd rather be wrong than be a wimp.
Understood.
Come, Mr. Bugs Bunny.
I will show you my exclusive comic book collection today.
And only special friends have access to it, okay?
Okay. Come on.
Heema, do you want to come along?
No. I am leaving.
I have no interest in comics.
This is for all of you.
How sweet?
Apple pie.
Kids love it.
They will be overjoyed.
Oh, wow. Interesting.
What is this?
It's an old hobby. I've been doing it since my college days.
I make a concoction of these special herbs.
We missed you at breakfast today.
I would have too,
if grandma hadn't sent breakfast at home.
Where is Parth? I don't see him.
He hasn't returned from school yet.
Parth is pretty intelligent.
He can grasp things very easily.
Even difficult topics.
You know, actually, he can speak freely in front of you.
Can't utter a word in front of Arjun or the teachers.
You are God sent.
Happy to help.
But I am really worried about Parth.
Post his results, his self-confidence has completely shattered.
I want to talk to him,
but he doesn't say a word.
How do I talk to him?
Don't worry.
That's how teenagers are.
Moody and prudent.
This is a difficult age for every parent.
Trust me.
Hi, Parth.
Hi.
Shall we begin the lessons?
Yes.
I'll be back. - Yes.
Be gentle.
'Naagrani'!
It's an iconic comic book.
Written by?
My dad.
Exactly. Wait, let me read it out for it.
It's free of cost for you.
Class nine is so confusing.
There is chemistry in Maths.
Greek and English in Maths.
Sin, Cos, Theta.
Trigonometry is fun, Chunky.
You just have to-- - Remember the formula.
Anyway, I'll mug this up too.
Or... remember it in a fun way, huh?
What do you say?
Parth, do you have some formula.
Actually, I do.
"Pandit Badriprasad Hari Hari Bole,"
"aur Sona-Chandi Tole."
Did you mistake Trigonometry for Hindi, big brother?
Look.
PH...
BH...
PB.
P for Pandit is also perpendicular.
B for Badri also Base.
And H for Hari and also--
Hypotenuse.
"Sona-Chandi Tole."
Meant Sine ø, Cos ø, Tan ø.
Wow...
Amazing.
I didn't think about this.
See... there is a trigonometry genius in your own house.
Yeah.
Okay, that's all for today.
We'll continue the remaining class tomorrow, okay.
But I am going to finish this first.
Okay. Best of luck, Chunky.
Bye, see you.
Bye.
"Pandit Badriprasad... "
I didn't want to ask you in front of Chunky,
but, Parth--
How did I fail?
Right?
I don't know.
I study everything properly, even revise.
But forget everything as soon as I reach the examination hall.
I even prepare well.
But can't remember a thing while answering the question paper.
Don't worry.
Together we will find a solution to this also.
Okay?
Don't worry.
Hello.
Hi. - Hi.
Nysa, this must be your time to study.
I just came to say hi to Parth.
I am on a break.
Ohh... nice, nice.
Come on, Parth, let's talk in the open.
Fresh air, right. We'll come, Nysa.
But, brother Laffu--
Listen to me, Parth.
Something terrible happened. - What happened?
I found out that Faizal Mirza is a fraud.
He ran away with several people's money.
Along with Johnson's-- - The money that Johnson gave him.
So this is how you say hello?
Is this why you were trying to get rid of me?
Do you extort money from kids?
I didn't take any money, Nysa.
I thought you are a decent guy.
But you are-- - No, no, Nysa, I am a decent man.
I was just helping...
Tell her. I was just helping you two. - Yes, yes.
Nysa, I will get the money.
Even if I have to risk my life for it. I promise.
Save your dialogues for later.
First, go and save their money.
Does he have your money too? - No.
Good.
I will get the money back.
Yes.
What?
I will catch that rascal--
The evil guy right now.
He was spotted at the bus stop near the highway.
I will go get him.
Brother Laffu. - Yes.
I am coming with you too. - Come on.
Nysa, my friend is in trouble. I must go.
No, Parth, you won't go alone.
I will come too.
I don't trust this boy at all.
Let's go. - Did you call Johnson?
How do I tell him?
He treats me like an older brother.
I will tell him. - Yes, you do that.
And stress on he will get his money back.
Call. Wait a second.
Wimp.
See... the good boy finally learnt his lesson.
'Johnson. Faizal Mirza ran off with your money. '
What are you saying?
What happened, Johnson? - 'Come quickly.'
Johnson is dead!
Why? - My money.
My money.
If Wednesday wasn't bad enough, now my Saturdays are jinxed too.
Laffu. - I think I've been blessed with bad luck.
Hey.. - The bus is gone.
First, catch that Faizal Mirza. Laffu.
Yes. Johnson's gonna end with RIP today.
Brother Laffu. Brother Laffu. - Yes.
The bus is gone.
We cannot catch the bus on foot.
Laffu! - Yes.
We cannot catch the bus on foot. - No, we cannot.
Then do something. - Let me think.
He won't do anything.
Johnson. - My money.
Laffu.
Harry.
Harry, not a word. Not a word.
My reputation is at stake. I will be back before you know it.
Laffu, even I have to be somewhere.
Go on, no one's stopping you. Go.
I will recharge your phone, okay. Consider it done.
Nysa, Robin, Johnson and I will take the jungle route.
That route will get us to the bus stop before the bus.
Let's go. - No, I won't let him go alone.
He is a very crafty guy.
Okay, we'll go. Come on. - Go, go, go.
Let's go, we'll miss the bus.
No, we won't.
Nysa, how can we miss the bus?
Watch how I talk to the wind.
And another thing, Nysa.
What?
You might get nervous.
Hold me tight, okay.
Don't worry, I am here.
Let's go catch him.
Hurry up, or we will miss the bus.
Parth.
Sorry for insulting you.
And yet you showed up to help me.
Thank you so much.
Doesn't matter, Johnson.
Let's go catch Faizal Mirza.
We might miss the bus again if we waste time talking.
Let's go.
This Bugs Bunny always says the right thing.
Doesn't waste time with emotional scenes.
Come on, let's go. - Come on.
Hurry up, Johnson.
Can't do it.
Come on, Johnson. We must catch Faizal Mirza.
Let's go, Johnson. Let's go. Let's go.
Can't do it, Parth.
Johnson.
What's wrong, Johnson?
Johnson. - Johnson.
Johnson.
Where does it hurt? Here? - It's too painful.
You will be fine.
Some Tribals dig such ditches in the jungle to catch animals.
You are going to be fine, Johnson.
There is no network here. We cannot call anyone for help.
You know what, Robin. - Yes.
Get to the highway.
Get any kind of help like the police, ambulance, or anything.
I will wait with him here. - Yes.
Johnson.
Open your eyes, Johnson.
Keep talking to me, Johnson.
Don't lose consciousness, Johnson. We will catch that Faizal Mirza.
Johnson.
Wake up, Johnson. Keep talking to me.
I forbade you from coming here.
Why did you come here?
I... I...
He is my friend and he is hurt.
Robin, my other friend.
He will get someone to help us.
Then we will all leave.
No, it's dangerous to stay out here.
Hurry up and leave.
But I think he's fractured his leg.
My friend is in immense pain.
I don't think he can walk.
Then... leave him here and you go.
No. He is my friend.
I cannot leave him here alone like this.
Johnson. Johnson, wake up.
Johnson.
I wonder who dug this ditch.
What if something happens to him?
Wake up. Talk to me.
Fine.
What are you doing?
His leg is--
