That’s her? - That’s her!
When should we give you the stuff?
Ok. Will be done.
Damn the timing! Why?
That one is reaching here at 6 itself.
So we should finish by 4.
You want us to kill foreigners?
Our trigger looks at their colour.
Our bullets are costly.
You pay, we kill.
Come. Have a look.
(Speaking Bengali) This is a good place to bring your girlfriend.
Perfect to hangout!
I can call her and ask her to come here.
She would have finished her work by now.
Great advice.
This is a nice place. Nicer with a girlfriend.
What’s your problem?
If only I was on my terrace, gulping booze from my plastic cup.
This place lacks that charm.
If you only had a girl,
You would know what is charming.
Excuse me sir. Anything else?
Do you serve country liquor?
Sorry sir?
Country liquor...
Keep quiet!
Nothing. Thank you!
You know what your problem is?
Loneliness.
You are lonely.
Thank you doctor!
For your problem,
I have the right solution!
The solution is already in my glass.
Not that.
Do you know Koena from our office?
She apparently has feelings for you.
To make you two hook-up, I’ve invited her here.
What say?
If I knew this before, I’d never be here.
Look.
You quit studies mid-way and came here 6 years ago.
You’ve not even looked towards Karnataka since then.
You have a good business.
You’re making good money.
For whom is all that?
How long will you look like a jilted lover?
Forget the old, Onward march buddy!
Hi!
Hi Koena!
See! One day she’ll make you drum-stick stew!
Onward march buddy!
What?
Nothing.
You seem to be lost in your own world.
(In Kannada) I have been lost since 6 years.
I don’t understand what you’re saying.
But I feel you are strong at heart.
And you’re nice and decent.
I.. I like you.
This lie called love…
I don’t like it.
Sorry. Don’t take me wrong.
Waiter! Bill please!
Hi Adi.
How are you?
I assumed that you still use this mobile number.
Adi…
Adi I need your help!
I can’t explain over this message.
I have no one but you.
Please.
Will you come to Bengaluru?
I’ll wait for you.
Remember what you said to me?
“I’m just a wrong number away?”
You are going to Bengaluru?
I’m speaking to you!
Mother, it is the wedding of my cousin Rashmi’s daughter.
Will it look good if I don’t go?
If they were your own relatives, would you not go?
You are only throwing a fuss because it is my dad’s relatives.
Tell me Rashmi’s daughter name?
Not for the wedding.
You’re going there for “her” isn’t it?
The ghost of her memory still haunts you.
Even after 6 years You cannot forget her?
I could have told you if you were little.
You’re a grown man now.
Will you heed my advice?
Be careful.
Those BRK, He made them tensed just by seeing his watch..
Your eyes will fall out.
Your stomach will hurt.
Don’t overdo it.
Who’s ogling at him? You or me?
Adi Shankar’s number!
You’re a wily one!
No. I’ll call him from my number.
If I let you call him, you’ll bag him!
It is ringing!
Hello. Shankar?
Who’s this?
I’m Parvathi.
Sorry wrong number.
Shankar!
I’m your Parvathi.
Beside me, is Ganga too!
Give it to me!
What dude?
Twirling your moustache,
heaving your chest and wearing fancy clothes.
That makes you the kingpin of the college?
How many Casanovas have I seen before!
Who are you?
Come forth if you dare! Come I say!
Wrong number!
Daddy?
Don’t believe everything the principal says.
He tends to add spice.
He or you?
Damn this guy!
Why is he coming now?
There’s another thing.
I met a young investment banker a few days back.
I wanted to tell you.
His name is Rajiv.
Greetings and salutations!
Daddy…
Remember my friend Urmila?
This is her close friend.
She lies through her teeth sir.
Urmila and Sharmila are old friends.
Now, it is you I like!
There are three reasons.
The first one, your character.
What?
Beauty with brains!
Most girls in our college are bothered about make-up and clothes.
You discuss how smart they are.
Remember the fashion show?
I like it!
When we were talking about the fashion show in the canteen,
Were you there too?
Yes. Second reason, your heart.
Because your friend Urmila didn’t have money,
You paid her exam fees last year.
This year, you even paid her college fees.
You saved on your pocket money and paid for her, say my sources.
Am I right?
I like it!
Look here!
The third reason is physical!
What?
I mean your smile.
When it springs out of your heart and slips out of your lips,
It feels like waves are crashing about in my heart.
I like it.
But I don’t like you!
Then you must be her dad!
Hello uncle.
Remember this face.
You might find it useful in the future.
I take your leave, uncle.
Bye.
Nobody around here needs any introduction to me.
But just for you,
I’m Aditya Shankar.
I’m just a wrong number away.
Let me tell you!
Silence please!
There are three things I don’t like about you.
First one.
You ambushed me in front of my dad.
That’s a terrible thing.
Second.
You grabbed my dad’s hand and shook it.
Unnecessary bravado!
Third thing.
You have stalked me everywhere.
Such behaviour is truly bad.
But,
There’s one thing I like about you.
Your honesty in front of my father.
I like it.
My mobile number.
If you behave like a psycho just because I gave you my number,
I’ll cut you to size.
Nobody here needs my introduction.
But for you,
I’m Sangeetha.
This is my favourite spot.
When dad was busy at work,
My mom used to bring me here.
When mom died, I was seven years old.
After that,
My dad became both my father and mother to me.
Adi…
That’s what I’ll call you!
You might be Shankar for the rest of the world.
For me, you are Adi.
I love you.
If I don’t say that,
Will you still love me?
I told you that I love you.
You don’t have to say anything back.
My love doesn’t have conditions.
My parents also fell in love and eloped from their families.
Once they got married, all their relatives ostracised them.
From my childhood, I had no cousins to play with.
No relatives to pamper me.
Just Dad, Mom and me.
That was my whole world.
After mom died,
Me and my dad, were my world.
Maybe that’s why…
I can’t understand what love is.
Love is not to understand.
It is to experience.
Whenever I think of you,
There’s a sweet pain in my chest.
Remember.
I promise on this pain.
I’ll always be there for you.
Remember.
“I’m just a wrong number away.”
I promise on my love.
Hi.
How can I help you sir?
I have a reservation in the name of Aditya Shankar.
Shankar? Yes Rashmi Akka?
Did you reach?
Yes. I just checked in.
Sure.
Junior, give me the spanner!
This damn thing is rusted.
Excuse me.
Shoo!
I have no small change.
Business is already dull.
Boss, it is a customer!
Sir!
If I have a close look at you,
I remember seeing you before.
I used to come here often.
Loverboy!
You used to come here with your girl on your bike!
Where were you all these years sir?
I live in Kolkata now.
I’m in Bengaluru for a few days now.
I wanted a car to travel around.
Do you have any identification?
Will the Aadhar card work?
Works super sir!
So, what will be the rent?
Not much sir.
About 4500 bucks per day.
Add to it fuel and maintenance... about ten thousand bucks sir.
Mister,
I’m not here to buy the car, I’m looking to hire it
You got me there sir!
Hi Sangeetha.
Hi Adi.
Are you fine?
Are you fine Sangeetha?
Yes.
I’m fine.
How are you?
Looking dapper in your jacket.
Bengaluru has changed. So have I.
And so? Your wedding, children, family…
My family is me, my mom and friends.
Do you have children?
I have a daughter.
Aadyaa.
Nice.
Princess of good fortune for your house.
Sangeetha…
You said there was something important.
What is it?
I need your help Adi.
What is the matter?
It was Aadyaa’s first day at school.
She was fussy and refused to go.
I cajoled her to agree.
Little one!
You shouldn’t cry on the first day.
You shouldn’t fuss.
You’ll meet lots of friends inside.
Are you afraid my darling?
You’ll be every teacher’s favourite.
Want to hug your teddy?
Go. Get it.
Yes. We just reached.
Aadyaa!
Someone kidnapped my child Adi!
Will you please find her?
I know you will help me.
Please Adi!
Find me my child!
Every day I’m losing any hope of finding my Aadyaa.
There has been no response.
I have no proof whatsoever.
No one is helping me.
How much can I struggle alone?
I remembered what you once told me.
I promise on this pain.
I’ll always be there for you.
Remember.
“I’m just a wrong number away.”
After all these years…
You might hate me for calling you when I’m in trouble.
I had no other way.
For two months I have been wandering like a mad woman.
“Have you seen my daughter?”
I’m asking at every nook and corner.
She was playing about here remember?
Have you seen my daughter brother?
The ACP is personally handling the investigation madam.
We can’t find any clues.
Give us time.
I even spoke to the police.
Sir, did you get any information about my child?
Haven’t you spoken to the ACP?
Even my husband Rajiv is doing nothing.
Where is Aadyaa Rajiv?
Nobody believes me Adi.
What happened to the police investigation?
They say they have done everything.
They say the search itself is over.
Our top officers have investigated.
Don’t trouble us further.
Please sign here.
Without finding the child, how can they close the case?
How are you feeling now madam?
Did you find out anything sir?
You can go.
If we find anything, won’t we inform you first madam?
Even after so many days, you are not giving me any information sir.
This case has been closed.
What can I do about a closed case?
How can you speak so carelessly?
Who are you?
A friend.
How are you her friend?
He’s a family friend sir.
What is this madam?
You bring your family, family friends and neighbours to the police station.
Is there a wedding happening here?
It is irritating madam.
Isn’t this your job sir?
Look here…
Hello?
Yes, little one?
I told you right? No.
Hey Hero! Who asked you to touch the file without permission?
You there, come here.
Take this and seal it inside.
Yes sir.
Instead of teaching me my job,
It is best you mind your business.
Please leave madam.
Sir, madam wants to see you.
For the world, this case might be closed.
But for me?
Do you have any photos of Aadyaa?
A passport sized photo?
Sangeetha,
Among your family or friends,
Or for Rajiv professionally,
Are there any rivals?
We haven’t had any such dispute Adi.
After the kidnap, were there any ransom calls?
That is what is surprising.
I got no such calls.
Ok…
Do you recollect the ones who assaulted you?
No. I was unconscious.
Like I told you before,
I have no proof.
What does your husband Rajiv say about all this?
He behaves like Aadyaa never existed.
He has drowned himself in his work.
Can I speak to him once?
About you…
I mean, about us, I haven’t told him anything so far.
For someone who ditched you six years ago, now you want to risk everything?
What is this fancy of yours? You have ignored your work and gone there.
This is not about Sangeetha.
This is about a child.
Are you god?
You’re getting embroiled in such a case!
You don’t understand the situation here.
I don’t know that situation.
But I fully understand your situation.
Shut up and return by the next flight.
You’re not an employee here.
For a company that employs more than 300 people, you are the owner.
If you dig in Bengaluru, it won’t yield water in Kolkata.
You have to be here to run your company.
Listen to me and return at once.
Ever since you left, you know how much your mother is suffering?
It is not right to endure pain yourself and hurt others as well.
You’re coming and that’s all there is.
Here’s your money and car key.
What was the hurry for this sir?
Where are you headed sir?
To the airport.
The airport?
Let me drop you then!
Why do you take the trouble?
No one offers to give you a free ride in Bengaluru! You’re lucky.
My wife is from Devanalli near the airport.
Her brother got caught watching porn.
I’m going there to pay him a visit.
The boy has grown!
Those who saw porn in the assembly went scot free.
This boy got caught!
Can I ask you a straight question?
You used to bring a girl before.
Sangeetha was her name right?
Did you marry her finally?
No. I didn’t.
Let her go to hell sir! Good riddance!
Don’t say that.
Sorry sir.
Money, women and wine.
They are a boon and a curse for men.
When it comes to them, listen to your heart.
The heart says one thing. The mind says something else.
The heart doesn’t lie. The mind confuses you.
Are you god?
You’re getting embroiled in such a case!
I need your help Adi.
After all these years…
You might hate me for calling you when I’m in trouble.
Turn the car around.
Where to sir?
Head back to the hotel.
Buddy, cancel the flight ticket.
I’m not coming to Kolkata.
On June 11th, a little girl was kidnapped near your school.
Kidnapped?
Yes.
She was brought to be dropped. The kidnap took place in front of your school.
That’s impossible.
How can you say that madam?
There was a police complaint and an investigation too.
But you.
No Mr Shankar. There was no such incident near our school.
Maybe it was another school.
You are misinformed.
How was that child related to you?
I wanted to enrol my child here.
So I wanted to clarify about the incident.
Rumours!
Every child’s safety is our responsibility here.
Inside the school, we monitor every area.
You can enrol your child here without any fear.
No madam. A kidnap took place.
The child is missing.
See. This is the child.
Aadyaa is her name.
Such a cute child.
But she’s not from our school.
Poor child.
Excuse me, a child was kidnapped in this road two months ago.
Do you know anything about it?
Who are you? I don’t remember seeing you.
Is he a cop?
Security! Send him away.
Sir, I’m talking to you.
Hey. How dare you?
Do you know who you are talking to?
Security! Get rid of him.
Can’t you speak Kannada?
I can. Please leave. I’ll lose my job sir.
Why can’t he answer my question?
How can I speak for him sir?
Where are you Sangeetha?
I’m at the balcony Rajiv.
I was feeling suffocated inside.
I’ve told you many times not to go to the balcony.
You don’t listen.
Get back inside. Rajiv Please.
Close the balcony door! Now!
Listen to what I say Sangeetha.
Adi.. It was… when did you…
I went to the school.
The principal says she hasn’t heard of any Aadyaa.
She says no child by that name studied there.
She also knows nothing about the kidnap.
If she admits to the kidnap,
Will people ever send their kids to that school?
Do you have any other photos of Aadyaa?
In your phone, or on Facebook or Twitter?
Rajiv deleted the Facebook and Twitter accounts.
From the beginning I didn’t have friends or relatives.
My social network is zero.
You don’t have a single photo in the entire house?
Sunny is coming!
You have to leave!
Who is Sunny?
Listen to me. Leave now!
He is Rajiv’s brother. He is big trouble.
Please go.
I can smell it!
There was a human in this house!
My brother is bond.
James bond.
He asked me to come here and take a look.
And so, here I am!
I was at a superb party yesterday.
Not a political party.
It was a rave party.
There was fresh “stuff”.
It blew me away.
Wanna try some?
Shall I call your brother?
But he doesn’t like all this no?
Sunny!
What are you doing?
Get out! Get the hell out of here!
Keep all this outside.
Don’t tell Rajiv.
Leave now!
Rajiv has gone to Dubai on work.
He keeps sending his brother Sunny to keep an eye on me.
But who will keep an eye on him?
More than he protects me, he troubles me.
I want Sunny’s phone number and address.
Why Adi?
Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you don’t get into any trouble.
But…
Give me his number and address.
Hello sir.
You must be Pruthvi?
Yes.
Do you know Sangeetha and Rajiv? Yeah from the 6th floor.
Their child was so cute. Wasn’t it?
What child?
Have you never played with your kids?
Look mister. I’m not yet married.
Still searching.
I know the floor they live in. But we are not in touch very often.
Who are you though?
Hello. Speak.
Sunny, your niece was kidnapped two months ago right?
Who are you? A cop?
Hello?
I’m a reporter for a tabloid.
Hello? Hello?
Shankar?
I hope you remember the wedding ceremony this evening?
Yes sister. I’ll be there.
How is the food at the hotel where you are staying?
Your mother will be angry with me otherwise.
The hotel is comfortable.
Sister, there is something I wanted to ask you.
What?
A child was kidnapped near Kanakapura road two months ago.
Do you know anything about it?
There are two kidnaps every day in Bengaluru.
The crime rate of the city is soaring like the price of onions.
Honey, do you know anything about this?
There is only one kidnap I know of!
You sister kidnapping me!
By the way Shankar,
You were studying well here.
You suddenly left for Kolkata, without completing your studies.
Why? And it has been 6 years since!
Don’t you know when to ask what? Keep quiet!
Why bring it up now? -I only asked why he he left all of a sudden.
Adi…
After your engineering,
Will you go back to your parents in Kolkata?
No.
I’ll go to your dad.
I’ll tell him “Uncle I love you.” “I love your daughter too.”
“And I want to marry her.”
You think it is that easy?
I love you.
Will you still not tell me that you love me?
Dad is calling.
Sangeetha!
Let’s go home.
Why did you come here?
Sangeetha. Get inside.
Just a minute Sangeetha.
I’m in love with your daughter sir.
But I don’t love you.
Look here young man.
You might like these filmy dialogues. I don’t.
Right in front of me, you talk of my daughter’s physique, character and smile.
You might like speaking like that. I don’t.
You’re an uncultured fellow I say.
Culture has to be in one’s heart, not just in words sir.
I can’t live without her, nor she without me sir.
Please allow us to marry.
I request you sir.
I have already fixed Sangeetha’s marriage.
The boy is qualified.
He is hardworking.
He has his own company, respects his elders and is an orphan.
I wanted to ask Sangeetha before I fixed the marriage.
But I don’t need her permission anymore.
Sangeetha, will you marry me?
You idiot!
Think about it.
This is my mother’s saree.
And now?
Let us run away and get married. Like my parents did.
What happened priest?
This is not an auspicious time.
There is no auspicious period till tomorrow.
In the temple, before god, what more can be auspicious sir?
Let god guide us forward.
Sure. We will do as you believe.
As far as good things happen.
Shankar.
Sorry. This is all we could manage given our time.
Hello.
After college, let us have a grand celebration.
What do you say?
Why wait till college ends?
Let us get this done. Her own father will come running to get them married.
Which Hospital?
How is he?
Oh! God.
Sangeetha!
Where is Bhaskar Bhat admitted?
Don’t cut the phone.
I want to hear what is happening.
Ok.
Dad!
Stage Four.
Remember I always complained?
Kept saying there was a problem?
Now I found out.
They say I might not live very long.
The cancer is at a very advanced stage.
What is all this?
Where are you missing Shankar? We are all waiting. Come soon.
I’m coming.
Sister.
Sorry. I hope you’re not hurt?
Boss, your wallet!
U. P. Police. Ajit Kumar.
Boss! Your wallet.
What brother?
Sleeping or working?
You again?
Come when my boss is around.
Won’t even let me sleep!
Lazy bum. Do you know who I am?
Oh? Police!
Spill the beans on the kidnapping that took place in that school.
I swear I know nothing about it sir.
But your CCTV cameras will know.
8:30…
The footage is skipping.
What sir?
You fool. The footage between 8:30 and 8:45 is missing.
That’s when the kidnap took place!
Sir, your own people spoke to my boss and took some footage.
It may be the same thing.
That’s all I know.
Where can I find that footage now?
My boss…
Screw your boss! You tell me.
The backup of this is in my boss’ office.
It is very difficult to get it from there sir.
How much should I pay you to make it easy?
Sir, are you really a cop?
Why?
Cops only know to take, not give. So I asked.
Sunny?
When the investigations were on, did the police take Sunny’s statement?
I think they did, Adi. Why?
I need Sunny’s statements.
Will explain everything later.
What is going on Adi?
All I have now are questions.
But I think we are close to the answer.
I’ll call you later.
My wife!
I cut and brought it just the way I wanted.
I have to wash away proof of this killing.
Where is the washroom please?
Wait! What are you doing?
Chicken!
My wife wanted me to bring chicken.
I went to the meat store.
The butcher didn’t know how to cut chicken properly.
So I cut it the way I wanted it.
I need to wash myself, please tell me where the restroom is.
That way. Thanks.
What a bloody morning!
Hello sir.
Greetings!
When did you come to Bangalore?
I arrived on the day before.
Bangalore is very cold.
Tucked myself in bed…
Who is this officer?
He is my assistant, Prathap Patel.
Ah Patel! Greetings!
Do you know anything about me?
A know a bit sir.
That’s great!
By the way, the police in this city…
What do they talk about me?
Mad guy, loafer, etcetera, etcetera?
Nothing like that sir.
Tell me Patel.
Sir, they say you are eccentric.
Damn them!
Which son of a gun called me eccentric?
Get me his phone number.
Sir. Please. I can’t.
Patel give me his number.
I’ll be in trouble sir.
I won’t tell anyone. Give me the number.
I beg you sir.
Madam is calling you sir.
Madam calling!
I’ll be back in a jiffy.
Stay here.
Let’s have a cup of tea together.
Everyone told you he was crazy. Why did you have to test it? Loafer!
Hello madam.
Hello Mr Loki.
Give him the Anekal case files.
So?
You’re known as the tiger of Hubli.
This is Bangalore.
A whole different game.
Good luck!
How does it matter where the game is played madam?
The game and the player are the same!
Good afternoon ma’am. Give this to Giridhar.
Madam…
Sangeetha is here. She wants to talk to you.
Sure. Send her in.
You can come in Mrs Sangeetha.
Mrs Sangeetha, please come.
Have a seat.
So, how are you?
I wanted to talk to you.
Ok.
Madam…
What happened ma’am, she went away crying?
Day after day, her mental state is deteriorating.
It worries me to think of it.
Kariya?!
Who are you?
I say stop there!
Why are you following us?
Where is Aadyaa? What is that?
Where is Aadyaa?
(Mumbles)
Tell me where is Aadyaa?
Brother Shankar!
Come.
Who are those Africans?
What Africans?
The ones you exchanged cars with.
No idea boss.
If I inform the cops, maybe I’ll get to know everything.
The cops huh?
Go tell them sir!
Also ask them if 15% commission is enough.
From Kathruguppe to Koramangala,
Yeshwanthpur to Nayandahalli…
In every police station, I’m world famous.
Threats don’t work with me boss.
I stealthily sell stolen cars.
You think I scare so easy?
Hey!
Why are you following us?
Brothers!
Why why? What problem?
Why is he following us?
He not follow you. He follow me. Me me!
Why?
What is it to these guys?
You know English, say something!
What?
He gave me money. I didn’t return.
So this childhood friend followed me.
Not you.
You’re dark, I’m dark. We’re like children of the same mother!
No shoot. No shoot.
Stop following us! Or you’re dead.
Ok Ok!
Listen you software guy.
A lot of what happens here is rough stuff.
If you mess with them, you’ll end up with a bullet in your head.
You got saved today, thanks to me.
Finish what you came here for and go back to where you came from.
I came here for her.
Sangeetha’s child.
She has been kidnapped.
I have no idea boss.
It is unnecessary for us to be involved.
Unwanted hassle.
If this was your child?
I thought you were a good man.
Think about this child’s mother too.
Hello there!
Do you remember me?
Ajit Kumar?
You said the hotel was nice. So your sister booked me a room here.
I wanted to ask you something.
You will join us for lunch tomorrow, won’t you?
Oh yes.
Now that you’re here. Let’s chit chat a bit.
You’re the bride’s side. I’m the groom’s side.
Karnataka – UP.
I also studied in Bangalore.
Hence I can speak a bit of Kannada.
Let’s have a drink?
No. I don’t drink.
Ok. Let’s have dinner together.
I just ate.
Okay!
They say it is a sin to disturb solitary people.
Let’s meet tomorrow.
Here are the clothes your sister sent for you.
Our dress code for tomorrow - Black shirt and blue jeans.
Ok? Bye.
Bye.
Hello?
Mr Ajith Kumar,
We got the photos and material you sent.
It will go into print tonight. Ok?
Hello Sangeetha
Aadi! You?
Why did you do this?
Which number is this?
A new number. For Aadyaa.
If Rajeev comes to know, it will be my funeral.
Nothing will happen.
The advertisement has no other information.
Don’t be scared.
Listen to me.
We will surely find Aadyaa.
Trust me.
Did you go to the police station?
I couldn’t go.
You should have gone. It is very important.
Go there and let me know what happened.
Brother!
Breaking news!
Give me a minute.
Hey Shankar!
I saw your ad in the paper and called.
Do you have any information?
I think I saw the girl in some movie!
What is this? You have been on the phone since you came.
Sorry sister. These are important calls. I can’t miss them.
Excuse me.
Hello
Hello?
I saw your ad in the paper.
Sir do you have any information?
How dare you put my child’s picture in the newspaper?
Who are you sir?
Hey, Shankar
Hello?
Mr Ajit Kumar?
I’ll call you back sister.
Look sir, my daughter’s photos.
6 months ago when we went to Goa, Aadyaa drowned and died.
Now you have published this picture in the paper.
The photo looked like my daughter.
I felt it was strange. So I came looking for you.
How come you are not in any of these photos?
Because I took those photos myself.
I loved to take my child’s pictures.
Is this your child? Yes sir.
Stop playing around and tell me the truth!
Are you all trying to make a fool of me?
Sir, that child is mine!
Hey! Who gave you these photos?
Sir, truly that is my own child. I took those photos.
Tell me the truth!
I have the death certificate!
What?
See the death certificate.
Death certificate sir.
Here is the school marks card.
A copy of the police F. I. R.
Hello?
I’m Rajeev. Sangeetha’s husband.
I wanted to speak to you. Can you come to my office?
I’ll send you my location by WhatsApp.
Sir! Listen!
Sorry sir. I’m really sorry.
Here. Wipe yourself.
Thankfully half the tea was over.
Otherwise the full cup would have spilt on you.
Hey Punji. Look there!
Ajit Kumar. UP police.
Black shirt. Blue jeans.
That’s him.
Inspector Ajit Kumar.
It says you are from UP. How can you speak Kannada?
I lived in Bangalore as a child.
So I learnt Kannada.
How do you know Sangeetha?
I overheard her speaking about Aadyaa in a restaurant.
That the child was missing.
So I volunteered to help.
The other day in our apartment…
Was it you talking to my neighbors?
I thought talking to neighbors would give me information.
Is it wrong?
The newspaper ad that you published today..
Would have let the whole of India know.
Mr Ajit,
I don’t think you know the whole issue.
What do you mean?
We don’t have any children.
What?!
We don’t have a daughter.
Two months ago,
On June 11th,
To car thieves,
Brutally attacked Sangeetha.
She was in coma for 7 days.
The minute she came out of coma, she began asking for her daughter.
She imagined and built a story in her head.
First, the police refused to believe me.
I then took her to a psychiatrist.
Doctors said it was trauma.
My wife started suffering from a mental illness.
A delusional disorder.
Sangeetha!
Please open the door!
Sangeetha!
We really don’t have a child.
It is impossible for us not to have children.
Our daughter exists.
Aadyaa exists.
You are saying,
Whatever Sangeetha said so far,
was a figment of imagination?
You spoke to her. What do you think?
Is her mental condition alright?
Sunny is here. You go!
How are you feeling madam?
By publishing the ad in the newspaper today,
you have disturbed our peace.
Hello Rajeev.
Hello Madam. Please come in.
I saw the “missing” ad in the newspaper.
Looks like you are re-opening a closed case!
He was the one who published it madam.
Inspector Ajit Kumar.
Oh? You’re a policeman too?
Hello.
Let’s talk.
Madam coffee. Thank you.
Section 416.
Impersonation.
For pretending to be someone else, a person can jailed for 3 years.
Madam?
That you are not a policeman is written all over your face.
Why this drama?
I had no other way.
Sangeetha needed help.
Is yours an old love story?
Speak the truth.
Or this will be a criminal offense.
This is a question of your life Sangeetha!
It is a question of my father’s life and death Adi.
During college,
Me and Sangeetha,
were in love.
I know his condition well.
I don’t have the courage to say no to him.
What about Rajiv?
What about me?
The boy’s name is Rajiv.
I’m marrying him this week itself.
I’m leaving.
Sangeetha! Good bye Adi.
No wonder.
She lost her mother as a child.
And then her father.
She couldn’t marry the boy she loved.
And finally when doctors said she can’t have children,
She couldn’t bear the sorrow and lost her mental balance.
Meaning?
Psychiatrists call it a delusional disorder.
It is a mental illness.
Some women are affected by it.
When they can’t face reality,
they create a world in their imagination and believe that to be true.
It might have happened once she came out of her coma.
Or even when her head was injured.
Aadyaa?
Sangeetha!
Rajiv!
Where is Aadyaa?
Aadyaa?
And so, Sangeetha created an “Aadyaa”.
Come! Come!
A passport sized photo?
Sangeetha’s husband took her to a psychiatrist.
They gave her medicines, counselling…
I’m not mad!
But she wasn’t in any condition to accept the truth.
I’m not crazy!
Aadyaa is her illusion.
Till she understands it, she won’t stop.
The madness can get extreme and it can be very dangerous.
Shankar.
You say Sangeetha trusts you.
Try to make her see the truth.
She might come out of her illusion.
So do try.
Take care Shankar.
It has been a while since Urmila settled in London.
She keeps talking of all the fun you guys had during college.
By the way,
What brings you here after so many years?
Nothing uncle,
I had some personal work in Bangalore.
That’s why I’m here.
Please ask Urmila to give me a call.
Here’s my visiting card.
Excuse me.
Sir, I’m the security person from the Jarkiholi home.
I have the video footage that you wanted.
Come.
Sangeetha, there is not a single picture of Aadyaa in your house.
Not in your mobile or social media either.
The police aren’t accepting your complaint.
The school principal knows no girl named Aadyaa.
Rajiv himself says you don’t have children.
Who do I believe?
I even checked the CCTV footage of your attack.
Even there I couldn’t see your child.
Aadyaa was in the back seat of the car, hugging her teddy bear.
Two strangers came and stole her from me.
It was not Aadyaa who was stolen.
It was your car.
If you don’t come out of your illusion even now…
How will you manage Sangeetha?
Aadyaa doesn’t exist.
There is no Aadyaa.
Please Adi!
Believe me!
Please!
The photo you gave was not of your child.
It was someone else’s child.
The father brought the death certificate to prove it.
He’s lying!
Everyone is lying!
Are you telling the truth?
Did you get Sunny’s statement?
Why didn’t you go to the police station?
I did go.
But even they don’t believe me when I say I have a child.
Even Rajiv doesn’t believe me.
Why didn’t you tell me?
I was afraid Adi.
Everyone calls me mad.
I was afraid even you will think I’m mad.
Stop it Sangeetha.
Stop it.
Just close your eyes once. And think if you have a child.
Tell me the truth.
My child exists.
Aadyaa exists.
Even you don’t believe me do you?
Get out.
Please leave me alone.
Get out.
Adi,
Even if no one believed me,
I counted on you at least to believe me.
Sangeetha…
These height markings…
Sangeetha!
A suicide in an apartment in Bengaluru
has shaken the entire city.
Reports say a young woman jumped off a high rise and committed suicide.
Is this murder or suicide?
Investigations are on
Recent reports indicate,
Doctors are saying that the woman was suffering from depression.
Is he the apartment owner?
Yes sir.
Greetings sir.
For this investigation to succeed,
your cooperation is essential.
Understood?
First, stop smoking in front of me.
Smoking kills.
Do you have a lighter sir?
A lighter!
Give it to me and be blessed.
Yes mister.
Why did the wife commit suicide?
Why did she commit suicide?
Patel!
Who lives in your house?
Me my wife and two kids sir.
Saw that?
How quick the answers came.
Why didn’t you answer?
If I hit you,
Your teeth and the answer, will both roll out of your mouth.
Tell me mister.
Why did your wife do the high jump?
I returned from Dubai just this morning.
What were you doing in Dubai?
Our main office is in Dubai.
Main office or your love nest?
Patel, check it.
Will do sir.
I met the watchman before coming here.
Apparently your brother comes here often.
Is that true?
Why will my brother come here?
Let’s ask the brother then!
Oh brother!
Oh wayward brother!
Sir, why will my brother come here unnecessarily?
Let me tell you why.
You!
You’re to blame for all this.
Listen guys.
It’s an open and shut case.
He is the one responsible.
Don’t you have any common sense?
Let me call my lawyer.
You can speak to him.
Cut the phone brother.
Cut the phone you son of a…
If I shove it up your backside on the vibrate mode,
Ringtones will come out of your mouth.
Once the post-mortem is done, we will talk again.
Keep your phone on and charged till then.
If you step out of Bengaluru,
I’ll have you shot.
When I summon you, come and have a cup of tea at our police station.
This is not a request.
It is an order.
See you again.
Take care.
Check the height.
Patel, send the call records to the officer.
This is Sangeetha’s mobile phone.
Check the last call, let Patel know.
Hello.
It's me Urmila,
I’m calling from the UK.
Came to know of Sangeetha’s death.
It makes me very sad.
Urmila,
Were you in touch with Sangeetha?
No.
Since I tried to get you both married,
Her father cut her off from any contact with her friends.
I wasn’t even at her wedding.
The last time I saw her,
was at the hospital.
Sangeetha!
She had brought her child.
Her child?!
How are you?
Is this your child?
Yes.
But we couldn’t speak much.
Her husband took her away.
Sir, here is the call records from Sangeetha’s phone.
The last call is from a person named Shankar.
It’s a new sim card.
That’s the number and alternate address.
And before Sangeetha died,
We found CCTV footage of a visitor.
Mostly that was this Shankar.
Mostly?
That must be Shankar.
Such shoddy work. There are dry flowers there.
Greetings Madam
Can we speak to Shankar?
Who is this?
We are calling from Idea mobile.
We wanted an idea from him.
We even have a nice offer for it.
I’m not interested.
Don’t reject it without hearing our offer sister!
What is it?
Two silk sarees,
3 kilos of gold,
And two utensils too!
Door number 294,
2nd cross, 3rd main.
Banashankari 3rd stage.
Bengaluru – 85.
Kariya?
I wanted to speak to you.
I’ll meet you later.
If I had told the truth when you showed me the child’s picture,
maybe Sangeetha madam would still be alive.
I’ve done a lot of bad things for money sir.
From garbage to drugs and criminal gangs.
Sangeetha madam...
had a child sir.
Hey!
What time did I ask you to come?
Why did you come so early?
You said you’ll give an Audi car brother!
I pulled up my pants and rushed here!
You got the work done?
Yes. You got the car and the kid.
What will you do with the kid?
Hey Blade!
Boss?
Take it inside.
That is when I saw the child for the first time.
Brother! The child!
Just mind your own business.
If you try to be nosey, I’ll cut you to size.
There should be nothing of the car left.
Dismantle and sell every part.
Poor Sangeetha, helplessly went around looking for her child.
I used to get information about it.
The police are lying.
Her husband Rajiv is lying too.
Knowing all this,
Why didn’t you tell me the truth before?
I knew I had made a mistake sir.
But only now I know how big my mistake was.
I let someone I knew die.
And you who loved her, are suffering.
What can I say?
I came to atone for it sir.
Aadyaa is alive isn’t it Kariya?
That is the last I saw her.
I haven’t seen her since sir.
Sunny will know.
Whom are you calling?
Sunny.
His mobile is switched off.
Sir, I know where he is.
Who is this sir?
He has committed suicide!
Ajit Kumar.
It’s not a suicide. It’s a murder.
They killed him thinking it was me.
We have to catch Sunny somehow.
Let’s go.
Idiots! You killed someone else!
Yes sister?
Where are you Shankar?
The police have come home looking for you.
I’ll be right there sister.
This is not the one I met at the hotel.
Didn’t you see my message?!
They are asking about some suicide,
murder and investigation.
The police have come to my sister’s house.
It is not a small whirlpool.
Everything is enveloping me.
Sunny will have the answers to all these.
Do me a favour.
Tell me sir.
Find Sunny, wherever he is.
Why did you come here?
I tell secret!
I’ll kill you!
No no no!
I know who killed your brother!
What?
Sunny!
Sunny killed your brother.
Sister?
Is he the one?
Father of lord Ganesh himself?
God bless us.
Do you smoke sir?
Good.
Smoking leads to cancer.
Let me come straight to the point.
You were the last one to call Sangeetha
Why did you call?
If you continue to mourn,
we might have to jolt you out of it.
Were you her boyfriend?
Did Rajiv know of your affair?
Listen smart ass!
Don’t you follow my dialect of Kannada?
Fine. Let that be.
Did you enjoy “it”?
I meant your lunch today.
Stop blurting nonsense for your perversion.
A man’s biggest gift is his patience.
And considering you are losing your patience,
I know it is you!
Hey Patel!
It’s him!
You think you can talk shit with me?
Let’s go to the police station.
Get your hands off.
What?
Is Sunny there?
Why is he here?
Sunny asked him to come.
Why did you kill my brother?
What the heck are you doing here?
I’m in hiding.
What are you doing here Kariya?
Why did you kill my brother?
What?
I lied for wrong things all these days.
Today I’ve lied for a good cause.
He’s lying!
No no! I tell truth!
He angry on me!
He’s sentimental about his brother.
He has come here prepared for revenge.
He’s crazy now.
You can jump all you want.
Today you are finished.
You scoundrel! I’ll finish you!
See?
He’s telling he killed your brother!
Bad, blood!
My brother died badly, your death will be worse!
No no no!
Don’t shoot. Just punch.
If I had let my guard down you would have got me too right?
Caught with your pants down...
with Sangeetha!
Ok fine then!
Tell us why you called her.
Madam he won’t open his mouth.
I’ll put wires up his backside and turn on the power.
Let’s hear the sounds that emerge from him!
Loki..
Ok. Let that be.
Where did you come from brother?
Why were you staying at the hotel?
What’s the connection between you and Sangeetha?
When Sangeetha performed her high jump,
Where were you?
When her child was kidnapped,
where were all of you?
Right here,
Swimming in Kengeri lake.
Was caught in a whirlpool and it took me time to get out.
You’re the one sitting on the hot seat here.
I’ll ask you a billion dollar question.
Think and lock the right answer.
Or I’ll lock you up!
Got that?
I heard she was crazy?
Not her.
You are all crazy!
Shall I prove it?
Hey!
Sit down!
Does he suffer from Piles?
He keeps getting it up!
If a nobody like you, can be so jumpy...
You think a cop with power...
Can’t push you right back to the ground?
Shall I prove it?
Stop it!
Calm down!
Sit down.
These are police tactics.
Loki doesn’t know much about this case.
He has joined us recently.
Sorry.
Shankar…
We are also eager to know why Sangeetha committed suicide.
So we need your cooperation.
Please help us.
It is two months since her child was kidnapped.
You didn't care then.
Why do you care now?
It has been a month since this case was closed.
She didn’t have a child.
I even told you what Sangeetha’s problem was.
Repeating like a tape-recorder.
How many millions did her husband Rajiv pay you?
You’re speaking emotionally, I’m being practical.
There is no proof that Sangeetha had a child.
What if I prove it?
Who is this straw man?
He’s Rajiv’s brother Sunny.
If you arrest him,
We will know where Aadyaa is.
What evidence do we have, to arrest him?
Someone who goes around with such stuff,
Can surely be arrested madam?
Is that enough evidence?
Can they hear us?
No. They can’t hear us.
Where is Aadyaa?
She was right in my jacket pocket!
Must have fallen off!
He looks weak-nerved.
But he has nerves of steel.
Look properly.
Give me a drag man. I’ll tell you.
He gave me 3 lakhs to keep quiet about the child.
You son of a…
When I’m in a good mood, People have seen my comic side.
If you make me lose my mood,
tragedy is guaranteed.
I’ll speak!
I’ll tell you!
I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!
In these two fingers….
Please touch one sir.
He will kill Sunny!
Shut up and let us do our job!
Then do your damn job!
Hey! Stop it!
Shit!
Loki…
Ask now,
the dog will bark.
Where is Aadyaa?
Let me go! Please!
Don’t shoot me!
This monkey won’t open his mouth.
Get the electric chair ready!
Listen to me Loki!
Keep quiet!
Madam…
Shall I shoot?
Shall I shoot now?
Sunny drop the gun.
Shall I shoot?
How can it be a lock-up death madam?
It is self defence!
I’m the witness.
Send the body for post-mortem.
I’ll speak to you later.
Shankar
I don’t know why Sangeetha died.
I don’t care if Rajiv is lying or speaking the truth.
Remember one thing.
Whether I do wrong,
or someone else does.
A wrong is a wrong.
Punishment for it,
is destined.
Shankar…
I need to speak with you personally.
Ok Madam.
Poor thing.
So Sangeetha
committed suicide because she couldn’t find her daughter.
In Sangeetha’s house,
you can find height markings of the child.
And...
there is this photograph.
It is Sunny who kidnapped Aadyaa.
But that piece of junk died without giving any clues.
I want to find Aadyaa.
I need your help.
Please.
Fine.
Tell me what I should do?
You should apprehend Rajiv.
What happened with Sunny,
shouldn’t happen with Rajiv.
For that, you have to take him into custody.
Do this.
Go to your hotel and wait.
I’ll call you.
Make sure you pick up whenever I call.
I’ll summon Rajiv to the police station.
OK?
Thank you.
Kariya, let’s go.
Hello?
Hello Shankar. Where are you?
We just came into the basement of our hotel.
Hello? Hello?
Hello madam?
Madam I can’t hear anything you are saying.
Hello madam can you hear?
Since it is the basement, the mobile network is weak.
That way!
Kariya!
Come!
Don’t shoot!
Please!
Please don’t shoot.
About the child you’re searching.
I know.
My name is Rajesh.
I’m a writer.
I’m ACP Shruthi’s husband.
I’m trying to stop the disasters that Shruthi is creating.
I’m trying to save her from herself.
I don’t understand.
Aakruthi…
Anusha….
Anjali…
Anuradha…
Anitha…
Ankitha…
Aadyaa…
Aadyaa?
Aadyaa…
Nice name isn’t it?
Shruthi was once pregnant.
We lost the child.
It was a miscarriage.
Doctors said
she couldn’t be pregnant again.
But there are a lot of possibilities in medical science today…
You can get a surrogate mother too.
Or you could even adopt a child.
Can’t Shruthi herself bear a child again doctor?
I’m sorry sir.
That’s impossible.
The doctor’s words…
They had a huge impact on her mind.
She had many dreams for her child.
That is when it started.
Ok, Let us eat?
Open your mouth.
Aadyaa!
Don’t be a brat.
Whom are you talking to?
Look who’s here!
Father is here!
Say “Hi” to him!
They call it a delusional disorder.
Her mind is in trauma.
It is a delusional disorder.
Psychiatrists call it a delusional disorder.
Shruthi began to build her own imaginary world.
She believed it to be true.
When they can’t face reality…
They create an imaginary world
and believe it to be true.
For the world outside,
She was a strict police officer.
A strong woman.
But at home and in her mind,
It was a different story altogether.
I tried everything.
Medicines, counseling.
Sangeetha’s husband took her to a psychiatrist.
They tried medicines, counseling…
It didn’t stop there.
She spent lavishly for this illusion.
Not her own money.
But money she earned from corrupt and nefarious ways.
She bought a farm house outside the city.
She went there every evening.
She lived there with her imaginary child.
Shruthi listen to me.
What you are doing is wrong.
If the world outside knows,
your reputation will be ruined.
Please.
Get out!
Are you trying to separate me from my daughter?
We don’t have a daughter Shruthi.
You shouldn’t stay a moment longer in this house.
Get out!
I couldn’t see her in that state.
I stayed away.
That was my biggest mistake.
Her mind worsened.
It went to an extreme.
I should have stopped her.
That’s when I saw you.
To let you know about all this,
I followed you everywhere.
But it is too late.
After all this,
everyone will realize the truth about Shruthi.
Do you know where I can find Aadyaa?
She’s still in the farmhouse.
I just hope the child is safe.
Pick up, pick up Loki. Pick up!
Sir. Truly, that child is mine sir. I myself took those photos.
Hey!
Wrong route!
Drop the gun Shankar.
Drop it!
Walk.
Move.
Where is Aadyaa?
What did you do to her?
I’m putting a silencer on my gun.
You put a silencer on your mouth.
Aadyaa is asleep.
Let Aadyaa go.
I’m here to take her.
Aadyaa!
Where will you take her?
To her father?
You probably just know the headlines,
let me give you the news.
Breaking news!
Sangeetha was not a victim of attack or car-jacking.
It was an attempt to murder.
Rajiv hired the killers.
Not to kill Sangeetha.
But to kill the child.
Are you wondering how I know all this?
When should we give you the stuff?
If my work gets done early, I’ll be there by six.
OK madam.
You’re early madam.
Is there an auspicious time for crime?
I’ll give you three days.
Finish the job and call me.
Don’t use your brain. Just do what I say.
Ok madam.
What’s that?
Nothing madam.
Mother!
That child called me “Mother”.
Don’t shoot!
What’s your name?
Aadyaa.
It was the name I wanted to give my child.
Aadyaa.
How does it matter whose child it was?
Since the child called me “Mother”.
Aadyaa is my child isn’t it?
You know the pain of losing a loved one.
I had lost once.
I didn’t let myself lose again.
Aadyaa….
Who else knows about the child?
Rajiv and the Africans know.
Tell me what you want.
I want Aadyaa.
Our trigger is based on color.
Our bullets are costly.
Ok.
Bang bang!
I had the Africans killed.
I got Jharkiholi to delete footage.
I got the F. I. R. closed.
Close the case.
It’s a waste of time.
I got rid of anyone who came in my way.
Rajiv…
Where is Aadyaa?
Which Aadyaa?
Where is Aadyaa, Rajiv?
Actually,
I wanted to bump of Sangeetha when she was in coma.
But her husband had a soft corner for her.
He saved her.
Aadyaa is not your child.
She is Sangeetha’s child.
Poor thing.
Sangeetha died because of you.
Sangeetha was in coma.
She couldn’t save her own child.
She was living like a vegetable.
Her husband Rajiv didn’t want the child.
He followed my instructions like a devoted student.
The son of a….
He removed any trace of Aadyaa in his house.
We paid the school principal for her silence.
They killed the child.
Sangeetha is also in coma.
On waking up, if she learns of Aadyaa’s death…
She doesn’t have the strength to bear that loss.
The doctors and police have advised me correctly.
I will tell Sangeetha that we never had a child.
I don’t think that is a good idea Rajiv.
What other solution do I have?
I have already lost my daughter.
Now…
Now if I lose my wife…
Relax. Relax.
Before his friends and family,
He said just what I told him to say.
No one would speak a whimper.
Poor thing. Your Sangeetha!
Aadyaa’s photos were here!
Where is Aadyaa Rajiv?
Where is our child Rajiv?
Have you seen my child?
She began to roam around crazily looking for her child.
Look here.
Don’t insult me by asking about your non-existent child.
It is better if you are silent.
At least, you please trust me.
I have a daughter.
Her name is Aadyaa.
Mrs Sangeetha…
What you need is not a police station…
But a mental asylum.
When she was crying and miserable,
Rajiv was happily telling me about it.
What a scumbag!
Not just Rajiv.
You are a scum too.
Say what you want.
You should appreciate my brains.
What do you say?
Beauty with brains?
To erase someone’s identity is not easy.
Just when I thought I had handled it all,
You came to dig everything I had buried, you worm!
And yet,
I was always a step ahead of you!
This monkey won’t speak.
Get the electric chair ready!
Listen Loki!
Will you keep quiet?
But still, I came here.
I know your truth.
Even while dying you won’t stop blabbering?
Don’t shout.
The child is asleep.
Afraid?
Fate catches up silently.
You might kill me.
But you can’t escape.
Aadyaa will live...
Or die with me.
No one can take her from me, not even you.
I have a question.
What?
Why did Rajiv want Aadyaa killed?
Because Aadyaa….
Was not Rajiv’s child.
Goodbye Shankar.
Remember one thing.
Whether I do wrong,
or someone else does.
A wrong is a wrong.
Punishment for it,
is destined.
You smart ass!
You really thought the world will believe
that your daughter never existed?
I told ACP Shruthi a thousand times.
Where would she agree?
She kept insisting that she can fix everything.
She was mad.
I knew I would be caught one day.
But tell me…
Why did you want to kill your own daughter?
Aadyaa is not my daughter at all.
Mr Rajiv…
Sangeetha’s reports are perfect.
But you are sterile.
What are you saying doctor?
You can't have a child.
Look,
I already have a child.
I just took her for school admission…
As I said,
there is no chance that you can have a child.
You can get a second opinion.
That is when I realized…
Aadyaa is not my child at all.
It belongs to some other fellow!
No one believes me Adi.
You might be Shankar for the world.
But to me you are Adi.
Aadyaa…
Now do you realize Shankar?
Why Sangeetha called you, to find Aadyaa?
Goodbye Adi.
Sangeetha!
My daughter sir!
You?
Who are you?
