I don't have change, ma'am.
It's all right. No problem. Keep it.
-Had your coffee? -Not yet.
-I'll send it over. -All right.
Just a little short of salt.
-There's no salt at all, Kalamma. -Then I'll just add some.
Did you call a mechanic?
-Yes, I did. -All right.
We are having this problem for the last ten months. It won't start.
Two mechanics already tried fixing it.
Tell me if the generator needs replacement.
-I'll check and let you know. -Take this, mister.
Yes, give it.
It's my room. I'll take care of it.
You don't know what goes where. Now go.
You could've finished cleaning in the time we have this argument.
Mustn't the house be cleaned at least for the New Year, Swapna?
Kala...
What happened?
It hurts a lot.
Feels like I'm being pricked by a needle.
Where? In the tattooed area?
Shall I apply ice to it?
Been a year since you got the tattoo, right?
The pain can't be because of that.
Some insect must've bit you.
Apply medicine on it. It will heal.
-How are you feeling now? Better? -Yes.
Get up.
Swapna, already started playing in the morning?
-Kalamma! -What is it?
-Where's the dryer? -In the bathroom.
It's not here.
That's why you shouldn't clean my room.
All right!
Check in the storeroom.
Kalamma?
-Kalamma! -I'm coming. What is it?
I bought the bulb two weeks ago.
Why is it not changed yet?
Come. Come along with me.
I'm there with you. Don't be scared. Come.
10, 9, 8...
...6, 5, 4
3, 2, 1!
Happy New Year!
What happened?
Nothing has happened! You're perfectly fine.
Nothing happened! No one else is here! Look.
I'll even shut the door, okay?
It's closed.
You're perfectly fine. I'm with you. Nothing will happen.
I'll also fix the bulb, all right?
I'm right here with you. The door is also closed.
I'll get you some water.
Calm down.
Take a deep breath.
But the appointment is on Friday, right?
Can you please reschedule it?
I was standing outside as there was no light inside the room.
Only she went in.
All of a sudden, I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak.
Only after five minutes, I felt normal.
When was the last time this happened?
It happened once before I met you for the first time.
Work? Stress? Deadlines? Is that the reason?
Actually, after a long time, work's going well for the last three weeks.
Been sleeping well?
She hardly sleeps.
She plays video games all night.
Where were you when this happened to Swapna?
I was with her, Doctor.
I was cleaning the room. She doesn't let me clean her room.
I asked her to let me clean the room as it's almost New Year but she refused.
-That's all. -Okay.
Shall we try a virtual reality session?
All right.
Please wait outside.
-Ready? -Yes, Doctor.
Can you hear me, Swapna?
-Yes, Doctor. -Just relax.
We'll take it slow.
The room you're in is completely illuminated.
As you move further, the lights will get dimmer.
The darkness will increase.
Okay, Doctor.
If you feel uncomfortable at any point, tell me.
Same as last time.
Shall we go to the next level?
Let's just try it once, Swapna.
In the previous session, you couldn't even enter this room.
Let's give it a try. All right?
Continue.
For a fourth session, this is a really good progress.
Can you hear my voice, Swapna?
Can you hear my voice?
I'll get you some water. Okay? Relax.
Your reaction in the storeroom wasn't just because of the darkness.
I tried this session for some more detail.
What you felt, happens to a lot of people.
When one loses someone who is close to them
or go through a breakup or a divorce
or have an accident...
Incidents like that which affect us mentally and physically
will be completely imprinted on our minds.
Whenever that day and time comes around every year
our body and mind begin to react to it without our knowledge.
As that day draws closer, we feel more restless.
Anxiety rises. We'd be upset for no reason.
Those who had accidents will hesitate to drive that month.
They'll even be afraid to step out.
They'd be afraid of this incident happening again.
Those who've been through a breakup, gets upset on just hearing certain songs.
Everyone faces this situation once in their lifetime.
On December 31st last year, an incident left you mentally disturbed.
Something in your subconscious mind gets triggered when December begins.
When Kalamma suggested to clean the house for the New Year
the words New Year triggered something in you.
You will feel stressful for a few months after the New Year.
What should I do, Doctor?
I would say nothing in particular.
Celebrate New Year with them. It'll heal by itself.
I have a lot of work, Doctor.
If you worked in office, that'd be different, Swapna.
You'd always have people around you.
In this state, I think it will be helpful if you are with your family.
You said that your parents have been trying to contact
and meet you for many days.
Maybe this is the right time to meet them.
Even they need some time to process what you went through.
We can resume therapy next month.
I can see great progress even without medication.
-I kept juice on the table. Did you drink? -Yes.
Speak to your father. He had called earlier today.
Why don't you talk to him once?
He wants to meet you.
He asked me if he could come tomorrow.
I'm meeting the dermatologist tomorrow.
How about the day after tomorrow?
Swapna?
Go sleep, Kalamma.
Has the generator been fixed, Mr. Anwar?
As it wasn't used for a long time, the machine had got jammed.
That's why the generator didn't start.
It has been fixed.
But he suggested a diesel change every month.
This contains two litres.
-Kalamma. -Yes?
All right.
Kalamma?
Why didn't you wake me up?
This was in the storeroom.
For the past few months, in and around Gurgaon
many cases have come up where young girls have been beheaded
and their bodies have been burned.
Every site is gory and these horrific acts have incited fear in the public.
Who is behind it? Why are they doing it? The police still do not know.
There was a similar case a year ago.
It happened in the 16th sector of Gurgaon.
A girl named Amrutha was ruthlessly killed in the same manner.
Her body was found burned.
Her head was found in a football field.
The police have been investigating for a year, but there's no progress.
Keeping these incidents in mind, the police have set up a special squad.
-Kalamma! -What happened?
-Get some ice cubes. -What is it?
Swapna!
Wait, I'll get the ice.
Stay tuned to our channel for further updates.
-Hi. -Hi.
Can I speak to Varsha?
No, but she knows me.
Swapna.
Varsha.
Hi.
It hurts a bit more than it did when I first got the tattoo.
It was fine till now, so I thought I'd check with you before I go to the doctor.
-It's been a year, right? -Yes.
Had there been a problem, the reaction would've been immediate.
It wouldn't take this long to surface.
The tattoo definitely has nothing to do with your pain.
But, just get it checked.
-Swapna? -Yes.
I tried contacting you that day after you came here.
But I couldn't reach you.
I even came to your house.
You weren't there.
Can we sit and talk?
When a loved one dies
some get tattoos in their memory.
Over the past few years, this has become a trend.
They ask us to mix the ashes of the deceased into the tattoo ink.
The notion being that even after death, they're still with us.
The belief being that by doing so, a part of them will always be with us.
But why are you telling me all this?
Because the tattoo on your hand was made from the memorial ink.
This is why I've been trying to reach you.
The same day you came here, a lady had come with ashes to get a tattoo.
With the ink that was made for her
I, by mistake, used on you.
Only a small amount was mixed, Swapna. Don't worry. It's completely safe.
The thing is... One second. Listen to me.
I've experience with memorial tattoos, Swapna.
-Nothing will happen. -Wait.
The remains of someone is mixed in my blood and you say everything is fine?
This tattoo has nothing to do with your pain.
We can remove your tattoo if you want.
The tattoo has nothing to do with your pain!
Listen to me!
Swapna, listen to me.
Nothing happened for a year.
It's been hurting from just few days, right? It's no big deal.
Let's consult a good doctor, Swapna.
Don't you understand, Kalamma?
Ever since I got this tattoo, everything's going wrong in my life.
Have you forgotten everything?
Swapna, I agree that woman made a huge mistake. I don't deny that.
But what does the tattoo have to do with whatever happened to you? Tell me.
Let it go.
Did you ask whose ashes was mixed into that tattoo ink?
How does that matter?
Tell me. Does it really matter?
All right, never mind.
If you wish, let's go meet a good doctor.
I'm not saying this to appease you.
Remember what the therapist said two days ago?
You'll completely recover. You've to bear this only for a few months.
Listen to me, Swapna.
It's been a year since that happened.
That mongrel who made you suffer is in prison.
So what if he is in prison?
Tell me!
I can't be in a dark room for more than two seconds.
It's been months since I slept peacefully, Kalamma!
When I close my eyes, I feel like someone's grabbing me hard.
New Year's Day comes and goes every year.
Everyone joyfully celebrates it.
Only I'll be at home, cowering in fear
until I die, right?
Everything is fine, isn't it?
Nothing like that, Swapna.
It's not that, Swapna.
Can I get an appointment for this morning?
It's quite urgent.
Swapna, eat before you leave.
Food is ready. Eat and go.
How long will it take to remove it completely, Doctor?
Usually requires a minimum of two sessions.
I'll tell you at the end of this session.
You'll feel a slight pain, okay?
What's wrong?
It hurts.
How is that possible?
I haven't begun the procedure yet.
-How long since the gel was applied? -Fifteen minutes.
Shall we begin?
What happened now?
It hurts a lot, sir.
-Did you apply the gel properly? -Yes, sir.
Then how did this happen?
It's all right. We'll take a small break.
We'll resume after lunch.
All right? Just relax. It's fine.
Give her an ice pack.
Remember the girl from that video?
Which video?
The New Year video. She even has the tattoo in her hand.
It can't be her.
-It is. Look carefully. -No. Are you crazy?
Her hair was left loose in the video. Now it's tied up.
-What nonsense. Be quiet. -Good grief!
Hold on. Just a minute.
Look at this!
Same girl, right?
-Yes, it is. -Told you so.
-She's watching us. -Is she?
-Shall I go and ask her? -Madam!
I can't help myself.
-Stop blabbing. She's coming this way. -All right.
She is staring as if you'd devour her.
Oh, man.
This is spectacular.
She is staring at you.
When did I say that it was your fault?
I'm just saying that you could've avoided it if you wished.
Try to understand.
Aren't you aware of what's coming in news every day?
The situation is getting worse.
This is why I forbade you from going out on New Year's eve.
If only you had listened to me.
No one says anything to guys who have tattoos all over their bodies.
But if a girl gets one--
What are you saying, Geetha?
What does the tattoo have to do with this?
Don't talk rubbish.
I'm just saying that if she hadn't gone out to get the tattoo
this wouldn't have happened.
Everything could've been fine, Mom.
I could've stayed home.
Or when I sensed something wrong, I should've been more careful.
It was fine if I died, but I should have at least fought harder.
But I didn't.
I can't change anything that happened, Dad.
All I can do is cry over
what I could've done differently.
I can't change the past.
I can't change anything.
Open the door, Swapna!
Why is the door locked?
Swapna, what are you doing inside?
Swapna?
What are you doing inside, Swapna?
Open the door, Swapna!
Don't be scared, Swapna! I'm right here.
Just open the door, Swapna!
Swapna, open the door!
It's okay... Don't be afraid. Nothing's wrong.
Don't be scared. Nothing happened.
Take a deep breath. Calm down.
Your mother had called.
I didn't say anything.
She's coming this evening.
I didn't tell her anything.
She's coming over on her own.
She saw some photos on the internet.
She wants to talk to you about that.
-Swapna. -I'm just going to the doctor.
Come quickly! See what happened!
Quickly lift her up!
Call an ambulance!
I'm not in the mood to meet anyone, Kalamma.
She knows everything that's happening to you.
That's why she wants to meet you.
It's her daughter's ashes that's in your arm.
How many times have I told you to not disconnect a call when you're busy?
It wouldn't ring beyond 30 seconds.
Listen up.
Tomorrow, come directly to the tattoo studio from the airport.
It'll be late if you come home first.
I've made an appointment at 10 a.m.
I've picked a small and cute design for you.
It won't pain at all. It'll be done in about 15 minutes.
You'll come, right?
No cheating this time. You have to get the tattoo.
December 5.
Amrutha's 27th birthday.
I wasn't in town that day.
I was on my way to Jaipur to attend a reception.
I was in great agony that I couldn't be with her.
I got a call at 2:30 a.m.
that she was murdered.
I didn't even get to see her. All that remained was a handful of ashes.
Who did it?
Why did they do it?
To this day, no one knows.
I didn't have the heart to immerse the ashes of my daughter.
It was the only thing left of my daughter.
Amrutha was very brave.
Always been one.
At such a young age
she fought and beat cancer thrice.
That was nothing less than a miracle to me.
They used to call her 'Hot Wheels' at the hospital.
She organized support groups and inspired hope in many.
I still get letters from them.
Every time she beat cancer
she'd go straight to the tattoo studio.
Each time, she inked the image of a heart onto her arm.
She didn't refer to them as tattoos. She called them trophies.
It was very difficult for me to go to the tattoo studio alone.
So I took her along.
My dearest Amrutha was in those ashes.
I wanted to keep her with me.
I wanted her to be a part of me.
That was when they told me about memorial tattoos.
And I agreed to get one.
Get well soon and you'll get another tattoo.
I hear it from everyone.
All used to say, "Amrutha hasn't gone anywhere. She is right here with you."
Thank you.
Today, I believe it.
When I learned that Amrutha had cancer
I gave her this card.
I always carry it with me.
I want you to have it.
In the form of this tattoo, I believe my daughter is still with you.
In this battle, I don't know if you will win or lose.
But I believe Amrutha will want you to fight.
Drink it.
Shall we go home tomorrow?
I'll ask them to come here.
Pack our things. We'll go there ourselves.
What time do I say we'll be there?
We'll leave early in the morning.
-Kalamma? -Yes?
Can you cut an apple for me?
Be careful.
Why you little...
Swapna and I are coming home tomorrow morning, ma'am.
Kalamma?
Kalamma!
Yes! I'll check it.
Mr. Anwar?
Kalamma?
Nothing to worry. He's right outside.
Kalamma?
Mr. Anwar?
Mr. Anwar! Help!
Help!
Help, Mr. Anwar!
Kalamma!
Mr. Anwar!
Don't go outside, Kalamma!
Listen to me, Kalamma! Don't go outside.
Hold on.
Mr. Anwar?
Listen to me, Kalamma! Please don't go outside!
What is it, Swapna? Why are you shouting?
Everything is fine. He's outside.
Kalamma!
Swapna, what happened?
Why did you break the bottle?
I'm speaking to you.
The wind is rattling the bedroom window. That's all.
Did you see it?
If not me, who else?
Where are you going? What has gotten into you?
Mr. Anwar?
-Give me your address. -House number 152, sector 19. Dead end.
Saw anything else besides the dead body?
The killer was wearing a mask.
He had a long knife and a camcorder.
Lock all the doors.
Stay inside. We'll be there in ten minutes.
I'll be right back.
How do you know so much about the killer of Mr. Anwar?
Tell me, Swapna.
-The tattoo... -Tell me, Swapna.
Kalamma.
Don't be afraid, Swapna.
Everything's fine. Don't be scared.
Nothing will happen. Stay calm. I'm right here with you.
All will be well. Don't be scared.
The lights are on in the hall. Let's go there.
-The cops are on the way. Let's go. -No!
-Come along. -No.
He's out there, Kalamma. He'll kill us.
Okay. We'll stay here until the cops arrive.
Don't be scared. I'm with you.
Ma'am?
Ma'am!
The room behind has caught fire.
Ma'am?
-Kalamma! -Ma'am!
Open the door, ma'am!
-Chandra! -Help!
Ma'am!
Open the door, ma'am!
Help!
Chandra!
Help!
Ma'am, quickly open the door.
Kalamma!
Take her outside, Chandra.
Note the address, Gupta. House number 152, sector 19.
-What was the street number? -Seventeen.
Street number 17.
There was fire but it didn't spread a lot inside the house.
-Where's the ambulance, Chandra? -Ten minutes away, sir.
Might be stuck in traffic as it's New Year.
He's still alive, sir!
He closed the drapes, sir!
Chandra.
Get her out of here.
-Chandra! Take her to the station! -What's wrong?
Get going, I said!
What's wrong, ma'am?
Everything could've been fine, Mom.
I could've stayed home.
I can't change anything about the past.
I can't be in a dark room for more than two seconds.
Been months since I slept peacefully, Kalamma!
When I close my eyes, I feel like someone's grabbing me hard.
In the form of this tattoo, I believe my daughter is still with you.
In this battle, I don't know if you'll win or lose
but I believe, Amrutha will want you to fight.
There are three of them, sir.
They already killed the security guard.
-The sooner you can get here, the better. -All right.
Lock all the doors.
Stay inside. We'll be there in ten minutes.
-Hello, sir? -Yes, tell me.
There's a shortcut on the backside of the CSI church.
If you take that route, you'll reach in five minutes.
Kalamma.
It can take five minutes for the cops to get here, or even ten.
They may save us
or they may not.
Pointless to think of what I could've done differently after I'm dead, isn't it?
It's all right even if I die.
But we'll definitely fight.
Close the window!
Call the control room!
Go inside...
Go inside, I say!
Connect me to the Assistant Commissioner. It's urgent.
We need backup.
Don't come here!
-Go inside! -Kalamma!
Don't come here, Swapna!
Why don't you listen to me? Get back inside!
Come inside, Swapna! Come here!
Go inside.
Come along, Swapna!
Get in there! Go quickly!
Kalamma!
Swapna!
