I am lost. I spotted the lights... so I came. Can I have some water?
Hmm? -Hmm
Neha... can’t find a fresh glass...
No, no... I don’t need a glass. I can drink from the bottle.
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
Are you guys from Bengal?
Hmm... Mishti doi! Roshogolla!
Is it necessary to stereotype us?
No, no... I didn’t mean that.
Which part of Bengal are you from?
Kolkata.
You?
Hazaribagh! I had come here on business. But see... I’m in such trouble now.
Neha? -Hmm
Hello! Nitin Kumar! I’m sorry I disturbed you so late...
Actually his car broke down. –Okay.
He had come here on business. –Hmm.
Actually, I was thirsty so I wanted to drink some water.
I’m done now, I was about to go...
Where will you go so late in the forest...?
I was trying to call a mechanic... but the network here...
Yes, it’s difficult to get network here.
Yes, I needed that to navigate my way out of the forest.
But I lost my way in the forest. I saw lights here, hence...
One of us can guide you out... –Yes.
If you’re not in a hurry then you can stay back. Everyone’s been drinking!
No drinking and driving.
You can sit down.
Thank You -Hmm
Cool! Reunion just back on track!
Why did you ask him to stay?
Sam, this is Nitin. His car has broken down, so he’s asking for help.
Okay, first of all, he’s a stranger.
"I’m a traveller, friends. I don’t have an address..."
Kishore Kumar!
Just ignore!
And secondly, this is Rishi’s house. So, only he’s allowed to say who can stay over here.
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to...
It’s okay. Come. –No, thank you!
Shit! What the f**k is up with this network, man?
There’s no sigal here. What nonsense is this?
I think I should just go out and get the signal back... –Tani, Tani, we’ve got a guest.
Umm...I'll just come.
Nice place.
Yes. Our friend Rishi. It's his bunglow.
So you guys are here on a vacation...
Yes. Sort of.
That's nice.
It’s nice to be on a vacation
Nowadays, people don’t even have the time to catch up for two minutes.
It’s nice that you’re here to spend the holidays together.
And it’s even better for the tourism of the country... that people should go on vacation.
Yeah right. –So do you come every year or occasionally?
No. I think last time we came when we were in college. –Oh!
Six years back? –Oh!
Sir, some fries for you all.
Please help yourself.... –Sure.
The weather here is quite pleasant before the summer.
Actually, that’s when we visit.
Tell us something about yourself! –Hmm?
You’re a businessman, right? –Yes, right. Should I?
Yes please.
Contractor! –What are they building inside the forest?
Roads. There are no alternate roads here... hence, that’s what we’re making.
PWD. Same boring stuff. Supplying stone-chips. That’s all.
But the caretaker was saying that the work is on hold. There are some legal cases on environmental issues...
Yes
It is on hold. The government asked us to put it on hold so we have to...
but ultimately we are the ones who suffer the losses.
All our materials stay in the open for days without security and supervision!
That’s why I come. Can I take one more? I hope there’s no need to ask.
But the government reimburses, right?
[Explosion]
Shit, Shit, Shit! Mangal! –Yes sir!
We need water! –Rishi, Rishi! Rishi don’t!
Who the f**k did this? Let me go... –Rishi, Rishi!
Leave me. Let me go! -Rishi please!
We were just playing a game guys! How did this happen?
[Rishi screaming and crying]
You'll have taken the game too seriosuly.
It’s just a game, guys. You don’t have to take it so f**king seriously!
What are you trying to say? –Please, don’t interfere.
Hey what the f**k are you saying?
What the f**k am I saying, huh? –Yes.
You guys all feel insulted and offended by the truth I just spoke a few minutes ago...
and I come outside and my f**king bike is burning.
Come on! –There’s no one here around for miles! So it’s obvious!
One of you has done this to teach me a lesson.
Rishi don’t fight, man. –No Rishi!
Oh shut up! Where were you?
I watched you coming inside. What were you doing out? Snorting drugs?
Whatever I do, wherever I go, it’s none of your f**king business!
Yes it’s my f**king business!
Rishi... please shut up! Mangal, you were outside, didn’t you see anything?
No ma’am, I was in the kitchen.
How would Mangal see? I’m telling you. This f**king bitch, she did this.
How dare you f**king talk to me like that you f**king asshole...
I’m done with your f**king shit! F**k you!
You...! –Leave me!
Rishi, what are you doing? –Come on guys!
This is too much! –Oye! Keep your mouth shut.
If you involve yourself too much then you’ll have to be taken to trauma care!
Rishi!
Leave me. Where were you when my bike was on fire? Where were you? Did you burn it?
I? –You did it?
No we’re all inside when it happened. –Exactly!
Oh!
And who are you exactly?
Who is this arsehole? Who let him into my house?
I don’t even know you, yet you’re talking back to me!
Rishi his car broke down, we just gave him shelter.
Oh! The great Neha. You’re so concerned about others! Is it because there’s no one to care about you?
Rishi, man listen... calm down, calm down, please calm down. We’ll fix up your bike.
Okay? Sam! –Huh!
Rishi, I think you’re overreacting. Okay!
Go and bring your Macbook here, let me burn it and see how you react.
So immature.
Ritwik!
Hmm. -Where are you going? You are drunk!
Yeah, I am not drunk man, I just had a couple of drinks.
Arre... - Ritwik!
What?
Holy F**k!
Shit! -Tani!
Don’t you dare touch me! – Hey, wait, hey.
Tyres are slashed! -Taani, Taani....
What? -See.
Oh shit! –Who could have done such a thing?
Oh shit!
F**k
Shit! Even this one.
F**k...F**k
Mangal, - Huh?
Isn't the landline working?
No Sir, It hasn’t been working for two weeks.
It is not working for two weeks and now you are telling me that! Huh?
It has been two weeks since the ration was brought, so...
When will the ration be delivered ? – Tomorrow.
How is the delivery of the ration connected to this?
Here, nobody wants to move around the forest much, so one person comes once a month to deliver the supplies.
So, till the the man comes with the supplies tomorrow, we are...
We are stranded here. – Stranded, my ass.
Hey! New guy! Come Here. Come here. What’s your game? Huh? What’s your game?
Game? I...I – I...I, what I...I are you doing? Huh?
I am just a petty contractor. The car that I have...
Car, where is your car? Say, where is your car?
Arre, that’s exactly what I am saying. I have no idea where my car is.
I got lost in the forest. I saw the lights here, so...
And ever since you have been here all this shit has been going on.
Listen, from the time you have come here all this chaos has been taking place.
Arre, but, I was inside the house with all of you, wasn’t I?
Yes, but that doesn’t mean that you couldn’t have planted anyone outside the house.
I think we should break his f**king face first then he will spit out everything.
F**k... -You...You...What are you doing?
Guys, guys, who the f**k is that?
Who’s that? – Kunal!
Hey babe. – Who is this?
That's Kunal, Taani’s fiancé.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I just, I just wanted to...Is everything alright?
No. – Its okay, I’m here now. I’m here now.
You guys have been here before, right? If there are elements like this we need to call for some help.
Yeah, but there is no cell tower. Ah...Nitin, You do keep coming here often, don’t you have a local number?
Yeah, I did try to make a call when I was in the forest, I was able to get the network as well but the call didn’t go through.
You can try to make a call once more.
Guys, I can’t trust this guy.
Arre, again you are...
What again? – Arre, I am telling you, right! I didn’t do anything.
I am an outsider so it's quite natural for you all to suspect me. But what can I do?
Okay, okay, okay. Going to the forest at this time of the hour is not a great idea guys.
We all should stick together. – I agree.
No guys. We don’t know who’s outside. What’s their plan? What do they want from us?
Do they have weapons or not? We don’t know anything.
Hey, one second, one second. Kunal, did you see anything on your way here?
No. -You people can go to hell! I will have to leave right now.
I cannot just sit around here and whine. This is my house and you guys are my responsibility.
Mangal, let’s go.
Arre, but one second, where are you going to go?
To find help! Police or mechanic whatever we can get.
Mangal...do you know the road through the forest? -Ritwik!
You come with me. You can show me the way.
Yes... - Why are you still standing? Let’s go.
Sir, it would take at least five hours to reach the nearest market.
Kunal, you have a car, right?
Yeah! -It would take more time to go by a car.
Shit! Right. We have a car! Kunal, come.
Ma...ma...Maoist! – Maoists?
[Chorus] Maoists?
Yes. There is danger of Maoists in this area.
It has been showing in the television since a long time. Haven’t you seen it?
Do you think we are all arseholes?
If there had been Maoists in this area, don’t you think they would have already attacked us by now?
There is nothing in this forest other than the trees, the animals and us.
Exactly. And I am a journalist, so I know that the Maoists leaders of this area are either dead or they have fled.
Exactly! That’s what I am saying.
All the leaders have fled. But the smaller groups are still operating and they have weapons with them.
Previously, they used to demand freedom and now they demand money.
Look, guys, I don’t know about Maoists but this is really scary. We can’t be heading out at this hour.
No, Kunal, it’s not an option. Sitting here like this is not an option and I am telling you that
I shall go right now and call the police. It all ends right now.
We don’t even know how much time it will take to convince the police and bring them here. Man, we have girls in here.
Have you guys lost it arseholes? -Rishi!
What are you guys saying?
Rishi! - Go to hell!
What are you guys saying?
Mind your language. -What are your saying, man?
One minute! Priyanka is trying to say something guys.
Listen, we have four cars here and all the four cars have spare tyres.
So if we can fix up another car, then we can all leave together guys.
Yes! It’s...it’s a brilliant idea.
Yeah, makes sense.
Come on guys! Quickly.
The stepney is punctured! -What?
What? -F**k!
F**k! – We don’t have four tyres, then.
Arseholes! These people have fiddled with things inside the car as well.
No, no, no. This must have been like this from the beginning. Tani didn't you check?
No, I checked it but I rented the car so I assumed that you know.
Oh God! She assumed! God! F**k
Rishi, man. It’s not helping, please.
Not again.
We are back to f**king square one now.
No, we are not back to f**king square one now.
You have a car, don’t you?
How far is it from here?
May be an hour and a quarter.
You were lost. So you think it’s that far but I think it won’t be more than 10-15 mins from here.
But I don’t even know where my car is.
You don’t know where your car is. F**k it.
We have one car. Kunal, give me your keys.
How come I didn’t see the car?
Give me your keys!
Quickly. –Yes, yes.
But Rishi we were all supposed to stick together.
Arre, Annie, this is different, man. They need to go. We need help!
Rishi, I’m coming with you. -Yeah
Hey, Mr. Namit, come. - Nitin.
Mangal, let’s go. -Yes Sir.
Hey? You okay? It's okay. Dont worry.
Sam, aren’t we supposed to be a little alert right now?
I am alert Neha. But you please stop micromanaging everyone.
Annie, are you alright?
No. I need to go to my room.
Wait Annie, wait. Annie, we should stick together now.
Even I said the same thing, didn’t I?
Annie, but that was different, man.
No, it’s not different. I don’t want to talk about it. I am going.
So, what does that favourite hero of yours say? Taani partner!
I’m not in the mood, man.
Come on, you love Shahrukh Khan. -So does the whole world.
So, should I leave you the room?
No, stay.
Taani, I know you are scared. We all are.
No, man, it’s not that.
Are you upset? I'm here now Taani.
It’s just Rishi, just...
You dated Rishi? –What? No. Are you mad?
Okay, I...Ritwik and I, we had a college fling.
Rishi, just keeps bringing it up all the time and I am like...listen...listen to me.
I know I should have told you this before.
I should have. But these guys just keep bringing it up all the time and I am like...
Listen...
The only thing that matters to me is you.
What do you want?
I...I just want to go home.
I don’t even know why I have come here.
I mean they were all acting like wild animals there.
Screaming, shouting, abusing each other, accusing each other.
Sam, Rishi, all over again, the same.
Nothing has changed, nothing.
Okay. You know what? When they get back, we leave. Because you tried and it’s not your fault, okay?
Yeah.
Yeah? -Yeah.
Oh shit, -Oh man!
[car crashes]
Sorry. – Can’t you come on time even for a day?
You remembered?
It's damn pretty.
Won’t you help me wear it?
Happy Anniversary. – Happy Anniversary.
Thank you! I’ll never take it off.
Really! Not even in front of your dad?
Yeah, okay, may be that.
So, you are not going to admit it, right?
Man, I am telling for your own good.
Ya right.
We have just completed one year today. If my father comes to know about this...
I will even convince your Hitler dad.
With tears in his eyes, he would say, “ Go, Taani go, live your own life.”
Stupid.
I will definitely not open it, then.
Seriously?
Ya Seriously!
I was just joking. You don’t have to take all that pressure, you know.
Such a coward. I’ll just come.
Hey!
Hey, I’m not a coward, okay?
Mmm. Ok.
Babe you haven't changed?
I was just waiting for you.
[Moaning sounds]
Come, don’t be scared. Nothing will happen.
Come here. Come to me.
Come...Come...
Come...
Sit.
Sit down.
You have to promise me dear that you won’t tell anyone about your uncle.
Promise me.
Calm down.
It's okay.
So, you were telling something about going out with your friends.
It's Tani’s engagement so Neha is making a plan with everyone.
When are you going?
I don’t want to go.
Okay.
So, isn’t that your friend Rishi’s bungalow?
Hmm.
So the last time you went there, that’s when your insomnia started, right?
Is this the reason why you don’t want to go back there or you have some other reason?
Did something happen there?
Look, Ananya, you were in college back then. Now you all are adults.
And even if something did happen, you would have to get past it, and you would have to move on, right?
Rishi?
What happened?
Rishi?
You are hurt.
Rishi.
You sit in the car.
I’m coming.
Mangal, are you okay?
Yes.
Did you see?
What, sir?
Did you see a girl?
A girl? -Now?
Just now...just now a girl went from here.
No. There is no girl here.
Where did these guys go Ritwik sir?
Where is my torch?
F**k.
You know what, something’s not right.
What do you mean?
All this Maoists, dacoits, it just doesn’t add up.
What do you want to say?
Where are these people?
Why are they not attacking?
May be they are waiting for the right moment. They will attack once they get an opportunity.
Then, why did they burn the bike?
They could have punctured that too.
But after making us feel their presence by burning the bike, how come they are sitting in silence now.
So are you trying to imply that somebody is trying to scare us?
Exactly!
Somebody is just trying to scare us.
Rishi saw that girl in the forest after which all this had started.
But why?
That’s exactly what we have to find out.
Wait, Neha, Where are you going?
Neha.
See, there is no Maoist outside. All four of them have gone and now everyone is separated.
If they really wanted to attack, they would have done that by now.
So that’s why I am going outside.
Where will you go in the forest at this late hour?
I’m not going in the forest, I’m going to Mangal’s quarter.
Mangal?
But he is a faithful servant to Rishi.
How does that make a difference?
Because when the bike was burning we all were inside except Mangal.
But, why will he do such a thing?
Okay, let us assume that Rishi saw some girl in the forest, okay?
So, that means Mangal was lying.
Because if there is really a girl then that means Mangal should know about her, shouldn’t he?
Because Mangal stays here all the time.
And none of us burned Rishi’s bike, only Mangal was outside.
So you see everything’s very fishy and I really need to know.
Okay, okay. Let’s assume.
But you wait for some more time. Let them come back and then you can....
Yes, they will come and we will leave. But why?
What are we afraid of?
He is drinking alcohol, Annie is in the room and Taani is sulking.
Priyanka, someone is trying to play a game with us.
And I cannot sit idle like this. I need to find out.
Wait, Neha! Sam, say something.
Let her go. Madam is our investigative journalist. Let her investigate.
And what were you saying? That we haven’t changed.
Have you seen yourself in the mirror?
You haven’t changed, you are still the same.
You are still the same. The leadership trait that you had inside you is still there.
Go, man, go and control everyone, micromanage everyone, what else can you do well?
Your job is to poke your nose in other people’s business.
F**king investigative journalist.
The girl who was here last time. -There is no girl here, sir.
What do you mean there is no girl?
