Maa (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Glory to Goddess Kali!

The cloth. Hand me the cloth.

- What is it?

- It's a boy.

Wait.

She's having twins.

The other child is on the way.

Master. Master.

It's a boy.

But she's having twins.

Another child is on the way.

It's a boy.

Thank you, Goddess!

Thank you, Goddess!

This is all that was left to see.

How can a woman perform the ritual?

You are the village chief's son.

You come from a high-caste lineage.

Such a prestigious ritual.

You should have had the honor

of leading this sacred ritual.

Joydev, how could

your father allow this?

Father couldn't interfere.

She claimed Goddess Kali

appeared in her dreams.

So, she was given

the honor of performing the ritual.

It's a tradition.

It's a girl.

Shuvankar.

My daughter have mercy on her.

Return my daughter to me.

My daughter

Return my daughter to me.

Give her... No. No.

She is my daughter.

She is your daughter.

Don't take her away.

No!

No, don't do it. Don't.

Let me go!

Leave me! Let me go!

Don't take her away.

When the demon will spread its sins,

the tears of the daughter will

seep into the soil as blood,

the blood of the daughter

will annihilate the demon.

Women empowerment.

Feminine energy is represented by

Seven Goddesses.

And leading them is Goddess Kali.

Ambika ma'am, who is that?

That is Raktabij.

A mythological demon,

who defeated all the Gods

and cast them out of Heaven.

Gods? Defeated by a demon?

At the start of the w*r,

it was just him. Alone.

But whenever the

Gods struck him down,

and his blood would fall on earth

A new demon rose

from every drop of his blood.

Raktabij's blood

kept falling on earth,

and the demons kept multiplying.

Forming an army.

What happened next, ma'am?

Then the Gods sought help

from Goddess Parvati.

She was a mother.

All the Gods were like her children.

And what do mothers do

when children are in danger?

She becomes dangerous too.

Exactly.

So, in a fit of rage, Goddess Parvati

transformed into Goddess Kali.

Dangerous. Powerful.

And along with the seven Goddesses,

lay siege on Raktabij.

Goddess Kali would behead

Raktabij with her axe

and would drink his blood

before it could fall on earth.

By doing so, one by one, she destroyed

every incarnation of Raktabij.

Thank you so much.

- Come, children. Follow me.

- Thank you, ma'am.

- Come. This way

- Let's go

Let's go to the next section

Very impressive presentation, I must say.

Thank you.

The way you explained

everything with such passion

I didn't want to

take my eyes off you.

By the way, I am Shuvankar Das Gupta.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Das Gupta.

But what if your wife finds out

that you are flirting with me?

Well, in that case,

I'll tell her she can't blame me.

Your face is quite

similar to my wife's.

That is so lame. So lame.

Where is Shweta?

Over there.

Dad

Diwali vacations

are around the corner.

And my literature teacher has told us

to travel to our respective

village and find an old story.

The best one will be adapted

into the school play this year.

You just made that up, didn't you?

You can call the teacher.

Why don't we take a trip

to Shimla this year?

Excellent idea!

Snow-clad valleys. Enchanting views.

What do you think, dear?

Forget it, Dad.

You're trying to change the topic again.

You know where my heart is set to go.

Chandarpur is still stuck

in the stone age like me, dear.

There's no network or internet.

- Exactly.

- Yes. You'll get bored in two days.

Pick any other city,

sweetheart, we'll go there.

I just don't understand

what is wrong with Chandarpur.

Why can't I go there?

We will have to tell

her sooner or later.

She is only 12-years-old.

She won't understand.

She will.

And the sooner the better.

I guess, you are right.

Maybe for the first time.

Now, stop smoking and come inside.

- Come. Please!

- Coming. Coming.

Go ahead.

Yes, Bikash. What is it?

What happened?

Is everything alright?

I got a call from Chandarpur.

Dad passed away.

I am

I am so sorry.

I need to leave right away, Ambi.

Chandarpur?

Yes.

Why didn't he tell me?

I know why.

He didn't tell me

because I would insist on going.

It was an emergency, dear.

And you were sleeping.

What was the emergency, Mom?

He could have at least said bye.

Well

Your grandpa

He passed away.

My grandpa?

- You mean Dad's father.

- Yes.

My grandpa was alive all these years,

and neither of you ever told me.

That means Grandpa didn't

know about me either.

Right, Mom?

I stayed back to meet you,

Joydev da.

Is it?

It wasn't your father's time to go.

I was deeply hurt when he passed.

Joydev da,

can you suggest a good broker?

Broker? Why?

I want to sell this manor.

But why?

It's not just a manor,

it's your legacy.

Our legacy has been a curse.

And I've no interest

in taking care of such a legacy.

That too, in a village infested by demons.

Oh, that's history now!

No one believes in it anymore.

Children laugh at the lore of the daitya.

Alright.

I'll suggest you a good broker.

But you must think this over.

Wouldn't it be nice

if your family gets to see your legacy?

Your wife, your daughter.

I don't have a daughter.

I have a son.

No need to keep secrets from me.

Your father told me about your daughter.

But don't worry.

No one in the village knows this but me.

Yes, Ambi. Tell me.

Yes, Shuv. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm leaving in an hour.

You drove for hours.

- Why don't you stay there tonight?

- No, Ambi.

I've no interest in staying

here even for a minute.

I feel suffocated.

And we'll also sell this manor, Ambi.

I don't want any ties to this place.

Dada

Ambi, I have the keys.

So you can sleep.

I'll see you soon.

Okay, bye.

- Bikash.

- Dada

- Take care of Vimal da.

- Sure.

- And call me if you need anything.

- Okay.

Dada!

Dada

Oh, God.

- Did you get hurt?

- It's okay.

COME CAREFULLY

- Hello?

- Hello, Ambi.

Yes, Shuv.

Did you see the drawing?

Yes. Where did Shweta see this face?

- Where did she see this face

- Hello.

Hello. Ambi, can you hear me?

- Ambi.

- Yes, Shuv.

Hello, Ambi. Can you hear me?

Where did Shweta see this face?

Where has Shweta seen this face?

Hello, Ambi. Can you hear me?

I can't hear you. Shuv

Are you there?

Hello.

Hello, Ambi.

Can you hear me?

Hello, Ambi.

Hello, Ambi. Can you hear me?

Ambi. Ambi.

Hello. Hello.

Ambi Can you hear me?

Hello. Ambi, can you hear me?

sh*t!

sh*t!

He was exhausted.

He had parked on the roadside to rest.

Maybe his cigarette started the fire.

Greetings, daughter-in-law.

I am Joydev Bandhopadhyay.

The village chief of Chandarpur.

If you need anything,

don't hesitate to call.

I am here for you.

You have the support

of the entire Chandarpur.

Yes.

Take care.

See you.

Sweetheart,

eat something.

You haven't eaten since morning.

At times like these, it's

- Necessary.

- You haven't eaten either.

Come here. Come here.

It's okay.

I miss him, Mom.

I miss him too.

Ambi.

Ambi.

Ambika.

Mom, call for you.

Hello.

Hello, Shweta dear.

It's the village chief

speaking from Chandarpur.

Where is your mom?

Tell her I need to speak to her urgently.

Who is it?

It's from Chandarpur.

Hello.

Hello, daughter-in-law. How are you?

All good?

Yes, all good.

Tell me, was it something urgent?

Yes, dear.

It's been three months

since Shuvankar passed away.

But something has been bothering me.

Shuvankar said he

wanted to sell the manor.

Yes, I know. He told me.

Great. Half the work's done then.

A broker is coming over the day

after tomorrow to look at the manor.

If you could come here,

we could finish the paperwork.

Day-after-tomorrow seems difficult.

Why don't you handle it?

I'm ready to pay whatever

commission you want.

Please, daughter-in-law.

You are misunderstanding me.

I just want Shuvankar's

final wish to be fulfilled,

so his soul can rest in peace.

That's all I want. Nothing more.

I will try.

Alright. See you then.

Are we going to Chandarpur?

I am going.

You'll be staying with Riti auntie.

No, Mom. I am also coming along.

- You can't come, dear.

- Why not?

- You don't get it, it's...

- You don't get it, Mom.

I cannot leave you alone.

- It's only for two days.

- Even Dad went alone.

Don't you understand?

What if you also

I miss him so much, Mom.

I couldn't even say

a proper goodbye to Dad.

Please let me come along.

And I promise I'll never

even mention Chandarpur after this.

Okay.

When you are by my side

At every crossroads

The path does not worry me

I accept all the ups and downs

When you are my companion

You are my reason to smile

Your existence

Is like my heartbeat

O benefactor of mine

O benefactor of mine

I exist when you do

Tell me how am I going

To live without you

O benefactor of mine

I exist when you do

Tell me how am I going

To live without you

Mom!

Constantly up to some mischief

all day long.

- Couldn't you see the car coming?

- No, no

Don't scold her.

It was my fault. I am so sorry.

Are you alright?

Did you get hurt?

What is your name?

Deepika.

Deepika,

this is Shweta.

Say hello to her.

I am Bikash.

This is my wife Nandini.

Come.

This is my favorite chocolate.

Wow.

I love this place, Mom.

Is that Grandpa?

Yes.

He is your grandpa.

Sister, do you know,

there are thirty rooms in this manor?

That's a lie.

Why would I lie?

Let's count it. Come on.

- Listen.

- Yes.

Is she Shuvankar da's daughter?

- But...

- Quiet. Quiet.

Be quiet.

Go and make some tea.

- But

- I said go make some tea.

And that's room number eight and nine.

Room number ten.

Room number eleven.

Room number twelve.

- Bikash da.

- Yes?

Why is the temple locked?

Room number fourteen.

- Now, let's go upstairs.

- Yes, let's go.

It's been locked for forty years, sister.

Goddess Kali hasn't appeared

in anyone's dreams.

As in?

It's a tradition, sister.

When Goddess Kali appears

in someone's dreams,

only then are the temple doors opened.

And only the one who beholds

the Goddess in their dream

gets the honor to perform the rituals.

Such is Goddess Kali's divine play.

She hasn't appeared in

anyone's dreams for forty years.

How long have you been working here?

We've been working

here for generations.

My father served this

family for fifty years.

When he fell sick

a couple of years ago,

Nandini and I took his place.

Fifty years!

Can I meet your father?

My father? But what's the point?

He can't understand

a word anyone says.

He just lies there.

Okay, fine.

Since you insist,

I'll take you to him.

Father.

Room number twenty-seven, twenty-eight.

Room number twenty-nine

and that's thirty.

Greetings.

I am Ambika.

Shuvankar's wife.

You served our family

for so many years

and I want to thank you for that.

Grandpa. Look who's here.

She's my friend. Take a look.

Look.

Take a look.

See, that's my friend.

See

Have you lost it?

Is everything alright?

Yes, sister.

Everything is alright.

Come, I'll show you around the house.

You seem to have become friends

with Deepika pretty soon.

Yes, but I guess her mom

doesn't like me very much.

- Do you need anything else, sister?

- No. Thanks.

Was the food okay, sister?

Yes, it was nice.

Nandini is a very good cook.

How did you like the food?

It was nice.

Bikash da, the broker

is arriving tomorrow morning.

Inform me as soon as he does.

Okay, sister.

Goodnight.

We are doomed.

- Mom.

- Everything will fall apart.

It's all going to go wrong.

No one can escape this curse.

Everyone is going to die.

- Father, come.

- Everyone will die.

- It will all go downhill.

- Father.

Forgive him, sister.

He hasn't spoken for years.

And now suddenly

- Everyone, leave.

- Father, let's go

- We're all going to die.

- Father

Mom, what was he saying?

Nothing, dear. He's unwell.

I know that, Mom.

But what did he mean by what he said?

That Shweta, this is an unfamiliar place.

So don't wander off without

telling your mom, okay?

Very funny.

- Hello. Hello.

- Hello, daughter-in-law.

This is Satya Babu.

The agent.

- I mean

- Broker.

- Broker.

- Hello.

If you can get this sale done urgently

If there's a good offer on the table,

I am ready to make a quick deal.

What is this? A langur.

No. A monkey.

Now, show me one of your pictures.

- This one

- Okay

When did I make this?

Show me.

Did you go near the ruins?

Ruins? No.

Then how did you make this?

That's where this tree is.

The chances of getting

a good offer are quite slim, sister.

- What do you mean?

- Selling a house in this village is tough.

- Are you getting it?

- Hey! What are you saying?

You said something else to me.

And now you're telling

daughter-in-law a different story.

Chief, it's not me,

people from all the villages say this.

What do they say?

They say this manor is cursed.

Shut up.

Those people even say

that a witch in your village

devours children.

- Is that true?

- Yes.

Shut up. Don't talk nonsense.

Can you show me that place?

No, sister. I'll get a scolding.

No one goes there.

Why?

Everyone says it's the

dwelling place of the Daitya.

- Who?

- Daitya. The demon!

Daughter-in-law, it's all nonsense.

Don't believe all this.

- But, Chief

- Quiet.

I know it's all just a show

to bring the price down.

- Not at all. That's not the case, sister.

- Leave. Leave now.

- I said leave. Leave now. Go.

- Sister

Don't worry, daughter-in-law.

I am the village chief.

This village is my responsibility.

I will get it done.

I will find another broker.

Who are those people?

Hey

They never saw Shuvankar's family before.

I'll deal with it.

What?

What are you all looking at? Leave.

Daitya only exists in stories

and not in real life.

Now show me where this tree is.

No, sister, you don't understand.

It's okay, we'll watch from a distance.

- We won't go near it.

- No, no

Deepu, come quickly.

Do we have to go from here?

The ruins are right behind the manor.

The jungle can be seen from there.

Is this a fair?

Go home, everyone.

Go on. Nothing to see here.

Hey, go. Come on.

Come, move it.

Go on. Go.

Over there. That's the tree.

Come on.

What happened?

Why are you scared?

We're only going to take a look.

No, sister. We cannot go further.

The Daitya will see us.

Come on.

You go and take a look.

I feel safer over here.

I warned you.

So did I. But she didn't listen.

I only came to see that tree.

Let's go from here. Come on.

- Mom, let's go.

- You go I am coming.

I looked all over the village for you.

Why did you come here?

Normally, you stay

glued to me all day.

What changed today?

The city stuff's gone to your head.

- Come on.

- My stomach's hurting, Mom.

Stop making excuses, Deepu.

- Let's go home.

- Nandini.

Your daughter's stepping

into womanhood now.

Congratulations.

Protect us Goddess Kali.

Protect us Goddess Kali.

Oh, Goddess Kali

Did Deepika get her period, Mom?

Yes.

Then why is her mom so angry?

Just forget it.

We'll celebrate when you get your period.

Who celebrates periods?

There are several countries

in the world that do.

And it's an old tradition in our country.

When will I get my period?

You have turned 12 now.

So almost there.

Glory to Goddess Kali.

Protect us, Goddess.

Glory to Goddess Kali.

Protect us, Goddess.

- Mom, my eyes are burning.

- Protect us

Close your eyes.

Don't you dare open the window!

Sit quietly. I'll be back soon.

Protect us, Goddess Kali.

Protect us

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Deepu!

Deepu.

Deepu.

Deepu.

Deepu!

Deepu!

Deepu!

Deepu.

Deepu!

- Deepu!

- What happened, Bikash da?

Deepika is not in her room, sister.

She must be in one

of the other rooms then.

Daitya took her.

Amsaja took my Deepu.

What nonsense, Nandini!

Look properly.

Look in one of the adjacent rooms.

- There are so many rooms

- Sister,

Deepu never goes anywhere

without telling us first.

He took her.

Our daughter

Our daughter.

This is your fault.

This is Shuvankar da's fault.

Why did you even come here?

- What are you saying?

- Quiet! Zip it!

Deepu never wanders near the ruins.

She made her go there.

And the Daitya saw my Deepu.

My Deepu.

He must have seen you as well.

He will come for you too.

Just wait and watch.

- He will take you too...

- Enough, Nandini.

Bikash da, control her.

She is talking nonsense.

Quiet. Quiet.

- Go inside. Just go.

- Since you two arrived here,

terrible things have been happening.

I wonder

- We will find her. Come on.

- What that Daitya is doing with my Deepu!

This manor is cursed.

You ruined everything.

Come.

Daughter-in-law, meet Shekhar.

Chandarpur Police Station in-charge.

He will carry out the investigation.

- Hello.

- And she is my daughter-in-law.

Ambika Das Gupta.

Shuvankar's wife.

I am very sorry for your loss.

- Thank you.

- I took command ten days ago.

Right.

Their daughter's name is Deepika.

And she has been missing for an hour.

Can you tell me from the beginning?

Don't worry. We will do our best.

Whoever entered used the window

And took the child.

But he should have

left footprints in the soil,

which are missing.

Daitya doesn't have footprints.

Daitya?

The demon.

Demon?

Did a demon enter the village?

- Yes! Yes!

- Yes!

I am not lying.

Deepu is not the first girl to disappear.

In this village,

any girl who gets her first period,

Daitya takes her to the jungle.

- Village Chief.

- Yes.

Did you know about this?

Well, actually...

How long has this been happening?

Daughter-in-law,

girls have been disappearing

for the last three to four months.

- But...

- Hold on a second.

Not a single case has been registered

at the police station about this.

How can it be registered?

Girls disappear,

but they return home safe

and sound after a couple of days.

How can we file a case?

There is no problem.

There is a problem, Village Chief.

Her daughter is the problem!

- What are you saying?

- Even you know this.

Have you all lost your minds?

Everyone, quiet.

Joydev.

Three months ago,

both the men in their family died.

Since then,

Amsaja has been coming here

and bothering the girls of this village.

- Yes, it's true. It's true.

- What are you all saying?

- Yes, it's true.

- Everyone, quiet.

You all couldn't protect your daughters,

so you are easily blaming my daughter.

No, daughter-in-law...

There is no difference

between Shweta and Deepika.

And if you think Deepika

was taken by the Daitya,

then I am willing to go

to the jungle to get her back.

Yes, Nandini, will you go with me?

Daughter-in-law.

It won't be right to go to the jungle.

Das Babu's son went there

looking for his daughter.

His daughter came home,

but he hasn't returned to date.

Not the jungle, daughter-in-law.

Daughter-in-law, listen to me.

The jungle is infested

with wild animals at night.

Don't go there.

Daughter-in-law, I will call

the forest department tomorrow.

It's a police case now, Chief.

I will deal with your Daitya.

- But

- Chief,

if you are scared, then stay here.

Alright.

Deepika.

Deepika.

That way.

Deepika.

Deepika.

Deepika?

Deepika.

Ambika ma'am.

Are you alright?

Sorry, I lost my way.

Did you hear the sound

of children crying?

It's completely silent here.

We should leave, Ambika ma'am.

I don't think Deepika is here.

Come.

Shweta.

Thank God you are safe, Mom.

Relax, dear.

I am okay.

Did you find Deepika?

No, but she will be found.

Do you know

People were saying

all this was Dad's fault.

That demon came for me

but took Deepika.

The demon is called Amsaja.

Right?

Amsaja is just a story.

A myth that the villagers

of Chandarpur fear.

Don't believe them.

I won't, Mom.

Just tell me why you

and Dad would make excuses

whenever the topic

of Chandarpur came up.

Why did you two always lie?

What are you hiding from me, Mom?

I am so sorry, dear.

I won't hide anything today.

Even your dad wanted

You to find out everything.

What is it?

Do you remember the painting

of the seven Goddesses?

The one of Goddess Kali

and Raktabij?

Yes, I remember.

The people of Chandarpur believe

Raktabij's story did not end there.

Raktabij was indeed k*lled in the w*r,

but a drop of his blood

fell on Earth.

And a new demon was born.

Amsaja.

The place where

the drop of blood fell

is this.

Chandarpur.

Amsaja couldn't spawn

new demons from his own blood.

And he couldn't defeat

Goddess Kali alone.

So to fulfill his motive,

he laid his foul eyes on humans.

He began abducting

the daughters of Chandarpur,

because he wanted

to create new demons.

But none of the girls

could withstand him.

Several daughters from

the village fell prey to Amsaja.

The village was gripped

with mourning.

Then

One of Goddess Kali's

devotees prayed for help.

She showered her divine mercy.

And a drop of blood fell from Goddess

Kali's statue into the devotee's eye.

He was blessed with limitless powers.

He could defeat Amsaja now.

But Amsaja suddenly disappeared.

Everyone thought we'd won.

But that was not the case.

He was simply waiting.

Waiting for what?

Amsaja knew the devotee was blessed

by Goddess Kali's powers.

When he had a daughter,

the powers were transferred to her.

Now Amsaja could fulfill his motive.

He knew

That only that girl

could take his legacy forward.

When she turned 12,

Amsaja came back and abducted her.

When she was found,

she was pregnant with the demon's child.

Amsaja had put the girl's father

in a strange dilemma.

If the child had been born,

Amsaja would have won.

To stop that from happening,

the girl's father did

what no father could imagine.

What did he do?

He sacrificed his own daughter.

It's a really horrifying story, Mom.

But how is it connected to us?

Everyone in Chandarpur believes

That Shuvankar's family are the

descendants of that powerful devotee.

Our family.

Are you serious?

And because of this fear,

whenever a daughter

is born in this family,

they are sacrificed

on the first Kali puja.

Even I am a daughter of this family.

Your father never

believed in such stories.

In fact, when he came

to Kolkata to study,

he decided never

to return to Chandarpur.

Away from your grandpa

and this village,

we built our own safe, little world.

Shweta.

Father, come in.

It's a boy.

Glory to Goddess Kali.

Thank you very much.

We had broken a sacrificial tradition

that had been followed for centuries.

So, that means

The imaginary demon cannot harm me.

Right, Mom?

As long as your mom is with you,

no one can harm you.

Hey, Batul da.

- Village Chief. Hello.

- Hello.

- What brings you here?

- All good?

Yes.

- Is your daughter at home?

- Yes, she is.

The inspector needs

to ask her some questions.

I see.

Do you remember where

you were taken, dear?

Did you hear anything unusual?

Speak up.

Did you see anything?

No.

Do you remember who took you there?

None of the girls remember anything.

Who took them, where they were taken,

what happened with them

There is one child

who saw an old woman.

Daughter-in-law,

I fully suspect that old woman.

She knows black magic.

That's why she was exiled

from the village forty years ago.

A couple of people have

seen her in the village.

And these events started after that.

Which means she is behind them, right?

Shweta.

Shweta.

Shweta.

He left. Your husband left everyone.

He left.

Shuvankar just left us all behind.

Your father. He left everything.

He Right here

He used to sit right here

and hear stories of the Daitya.

Daitya's stories.

He would get scared.

Mom, he was telling me about Dad.

Come.

Take this.

It belongs to Shuvankar.

It bears the Goddess's command.

"When the demon

will spread its sins,

the tears of the daughter will

seep into the soil as blood,

the scepter of the Goddess

will be the biggest boon,

the blood of the daughter will

"annihilate the demon."

When the demon will spread its sins,

the tears of the daughter will seep

into the soil as blood,

the scepter of the Goddess

will be the biggest boon,

the blood of the daughter

will annihilate the demon.

When the demon will spread its sins,

the blood of the daughter

will annihilate the demon.

Sister.

Bikash da, you said

The temple will be opened

when someone beholds

the Goddess in their dream.

Yes, sister. Absolutely right.

Where is the temple key?

The key has always been

in the same place for forty years.

At the feet of the Goddess.

A miracle happened

after forty years.

The Goddess came in sister's dreams.

Are you serious?

Yes.

Praise be!

- Praise be!

- Glory to Goddess Kali.

Glory to Goddess Kali! Goddess

Glory to Goddess Kali!

Glory to Goddess Kali!

Glory to Goddess Kali!

Glory to Goddess Kali!

Glory to Goddess Kali!

Glory to Goddess Kali!

- Deepu!

- Deepu!

- Deepu, Deepu

- Where were you?

Deepu, how are you?

Are you hurt?

Speak up.

Deepu.

Deepika.

Are you alright?

Great. It's a miracle.

You see, daughter-in-law,

a miracle happened right

after the temple's door was opened.

Wow! Glory to Goddess Kali.

Glory to Goddess Kali.

Glory to Goddess Kali.

Glory to Goddess Kali.

Please have her wait outside.

I'll be there shortly.

Well, physical tests clearly prove

that none of the girls

have been sexually violated.

Thank God.

But

Their periods have stopped.

Are they pregnant?

No, they are not pregnant.

Then how can their periods stop?

Could it be because

of the shock, doctor?

See, the body can shut down

as a response to trauma.

But if that was the

case with a few girls,

I would have understood.

All the girls having

the same symptoms,

their periods stopping abruptly

To be honest,

it is beyond my comprehension.

Come on, dear, let's go eat.

I am not hungry, Mom.

You eat.

Why? What happened?

My stomach is hurting.

Where?

It wasn't there since morning.

It started half an hour ago.

It's okay. It'll be fine.

Deepu, where are you going?

Hey, listen! What are you doing?

Listen to me.

Why are you heading to the room upstairs?

Come down.

Dear, stop, stop, listen to me,

don't go upstairs

Listen to Grandpa. Step this way.

Don't go up. Come here.

Come down, come.

What are you doing? Listen to me.

Don't go there,

or we'll all be doomed.

Grandpa, look.

- Listen to Grandpa.

- Grandpa.

- Grandpa, look. Look.

- Tell me, dear.

Grandpa.

Come, let's play.

Come.

She will not let us go.

Come on.

Shweta?

Shweta.

Shweta.

Shweta.

- Fa... Father?

- Father?

- Father?

- Shweta.

- What happened, Father?

- Shweta.

- Father, wake up.

- Father! Are you okay, Father?

- Father.

- Shweta.

Father, wake up.

- Father.

- Father.

Shweta.

Shweta.

Mom!

Shweta! Shweta!

Shweta!

Shweta.

Shweta.

Leave her.

Leave her. Shweta!

Leave her. Let go of her.

Listen. Your daughter is next.

She will bleed.

Her first Kali puja is pending.

Sit. Sit.

This has gone too far.

We are getting out of here.

Are you leaving, daughter-in-law?

If you leave, who will perform

Goddess Kali's puja tomorrow?

Shuvankar was right.

This is a village of demons.

There's no place for humans here.

Everyone's been lying

to me since day one.

The entire village is in cahoots.

When did I lie to you?

You made us stay back

in the name of Kali Puja.

You intend to offer my daughter as a

sacrifice to break Chandarpur's curse?

Mom

Go away.

What happened?

I think I

Got my

Periods.

Go inside. Go in.

Please leave. Leave.

Mom.

My stomach is hurting.

It's your first time, dear.

We'll stop ahead when

we come across a hotel, okay?

Just a few more moments.

- Mom.

- Yes.

How much longer?

Just a little longer, baby.

Mom!

Mom.

- Shweta.

What happened, Bikash?

Inspector sir.

The Daitya k*lled

my father last night,

and also took my Deepu.

All the other girls are also missing.

Sister Ambika left

Without performing the puja.

All has come to ruin.

Daitya took all the girls to the jungle...

There is no Daitya, Bikash.

Someone else is doing this

under the guise of the Daitya.

Where is the village chief?

No one's seen

the village chief since last night.

Even his phone is unreachable,

so we called you.

The village chief is also missing?

He's police uncle, dear.

You must answer his questions.

Do you remember where

you were taken, dear?

Speak up.

Don't be afraid.

Did you hear anything unusual?

Did you see anything?

No.

There is one child

who saw an old woman.

Right! I fully suspect that old woman.

It won't be right

to go to the jungle.

Shweta.

Where is my daughter?

- Listen to me.

- Where is my daughter?

- Listen, you are getting me wrong.

- Where is Shweta?

You were there.

You are on their side.

I am not your enemy.

I went there to save your daughter.

But your daughter was already gone

when I got there.

Joydev took your daughter.

Joydev!

Hey, Joydev.

Yes?

Are you feeling alright, inspector?

From village chief to Joydev?

It's because of your actions.

What do you mean?

We cops also have a third eye.

And something was always off about you.

Stop this drama and tell me

where the girls are.

Wow.

You have three eyes.

Yet, you are blind.

You asked me about the girls

But forgot to ask who I am.

Demon. He was always a demon.

Forty years ago,

Goddess Kali came into my dream

just like She did in yours.

I was granted the honor

of Goddess Kali's puja.

But along with the honor

came a huge responsibility.

When the demon will spread its sins,

the tears of the daughter will seep

into the soil as blood,

the blood of the daughter

will annihilate the demon.

Priestess, why did you stop?

Follow the Goddess's orders.

This cannot be

the orders of the Goddess.

What?

What are you saying?

We made a big mistake

in understanding the Goddess's orders.

How can a Mother demand

the sacrifice of Her child?

Great.

Look at that.

She claims that

our ancestors did not know

the true meaning of the order.

I know she is an impostor.

If Goddess Kali had ordered her,

she wouldn't lie.

Goddess Kali gave those orders

to annihilate Amsaja.

But the meaning derived

by the men of your family

always seemed wrong to me.

What is the real meaning of the order?

Tell us.

We made a mistake giving such

a big responsibility to a woman.

You are weak, priestess.

Get out of the way.

This is a job for a man

Not you.

I broke the age-old tradition.

When Joydev wasn't satisfied

even after proving me a liar

He r*ped me

And cast me out of

the village calling me a witch.

I saved Chandarpur

by sacrificing the child.

Everyone was very happy with me.

I won everyone's trust

and became the village chief.

But I made a mistake.

I shouldn't have k*lled the child.

Ultimate Daitya.

You are real?

You k*lled that child.

Fool. Now you are going to die.

No, no

I only did it to show

that priestess her place.

I committed a grave sin.

But you are the ultimate Daitya.

Forgive me.

You don't deserve my forgiveness.

But your heart is corrupt.

You can be of some use to me.

Yes, yes,

what are your orders, master?

I will do everything you say.

The next daughter born in that family

will not be sacrificed.

Yes, yes.

When she is old enough

to carry my legacy forward,

you will bring her to me.

Yes, master. I will bring her.

I will do whatever it takes.

I want to fulfill your orders.

Give me powers, master.

Give me powers.

Give me powers, master.

Give me powers.

He chose me

And I chose him.

On his orders,

I kept an eye on Shuvankar's

family for forty years.

First, I k*lled his father

And then him.

So that Ambika could bring his daughter

here to fulfill his final wish.

Now do you understand?

My master is the ultimate power.

He is the ultimate truth.

Enough of your nonsense.

Where are the girls?

Fool.

You still haven't understood?

I am the jungle.

My girls are right here with me.

For centuries the Daitya

was waiting for this day.

Your daughter's period has started.

Right?

Tonight, the Daitya will try

to inseminate your daughter.

Your daughter will

carry his legacy forward.

She will become

the reason for destruction.

Joydev must have taken

Shweta to the jungle.

- I must go.

- He is the Daitya.

The soil of that jungle has turned red.

Even after devouring the blood

of little girls for centuries,

the jungle is still starving.

If you go there alone,

the jungle will devour you too.

Then so be it.

I cannot sit around

and wait for a miracle to happen.

Only Goddess Kali

can defeat that Daitya.

If Goddess Kali's puja is not performed,

then Amsaja will emerge victorious.

Forty years later,

Goddess Kali came in your dream.

It is a miracle.

You being here is

the will of the Goddess.

You must seek

the blessings of the Goddess.

You must perform

the Kali puja, Ambika.

Goddess Kali, the destroyer

Dark complexioned

Destroyer of demon clans

She is the destroyer, she is the destroyer

Goddess Kali, the destroyer

Dark complexioned

Destroyer of demon clans

She is the destroyer, she is the destroyer

When luck is bad and I suffer

Hours freeze, the world halts

A mother pleads

Only Mother Goddess will listen

Goddess Kali you dwell

In my mind and soul

May I conquer fear

Of life and death

May your power flow in my veins

Bearing Chanda and Munda,

Come, O Chandike

You alone are my refuge

Thick dark clouds

Darkness all around

Storm is blowing

And chaos explodes

Destroy unrighteousness

Slay demons

Pick up sword, bow, and spear

With shield of tantra and mantra

Rush to my help

Mother Goddess liberate me

Raktabij rose again

Drink his blood today

Drink it today

Kali sent you?

She didn't show up herself?

I am here for my daughter.

If you interfere,

you will face the same

consequences as Raktabij.

Raktabij was weak.

Neither am I Raktabij, nor are you Kali.

I am Amsaja.

And you are an ordinary woman.

You won't even be able

to lay a finger on me.

Glory to Goddess Kali!

Glory to Goddess Kali!

Being a mother is

the world's biggest weakness.

It's not a weakness.

It's a strength.

Earth.

Heaven.

Hell.

Goddess!

You, your Kali, and time itself

Will bow to me.

Your daughter will

carry my legacy forward.

My evil empire will spread

across the three realms.

Goddess!

You will see!

Finally, you did come.

Who are you challenging?

Goddess Kali?

Your existence is like a mere drop,

and you wish to devour the ocean.

Look around you.

Kali is everywhere.

She exists in you,

in me, and in this soil.

From the vast universe

to the depths of hell.

She is time-unbound.

If She wants She can stop time.

Turn the universe to dust.

Kali is destruction.

She is an unstoppable force.

In her calm state,

She is a loving mother.

And when She is angry,

She is death Herself.

If you are the descendant of Raktabij,

then even I am an incarnation of Kali.

I am Chamunda!

I am Durga.

I am Ambika!

Father.

- Father.

- Father.

- Father.

- Father.

- Father.

- Father.

- Father.

- Father.

Father.

- Mom.

- Father.

Father.

Your daughter

Is carrying the seed of Amsaja.

How can Goddess Kali demand

the sacrifice of another daughter?

If this is my test

Then it's Your test as well.

When the demon will spread its sins,

the tears of the daughter

will seep into the soil as blood,

the scepter of the Goddess

will be the biggest boon,

the blood of the daughter

will annihilate the demon.

Ambika!

Goddess Kali, forgive us.

You have blessed us.

You have freed us from the Daitya.

You are benevolent, Goddess.

Very benevolent.

Kali had blessed us with this axe

to fight against Amsaja.

But the cowardly men of this village

used it to sacrifice little daughters.

Today, a mother explained

the meaning of Kali's command to us.

The descendants of Amsaja

has been destroyed.

You won, Ambika.

Your daughter is purified.

Mom.

Mom.

Shweta.

- Glory to Goddess Kali!

- Glory to Goddess Kali!

Glory to Goddess Kali!

From the earth and the sky

To the seven seas

The entire universe exists in me

With my gestures

I control the stars

I'm the soul The supreme being

Do you know what is the

biggest stupidity of humans?

You think you have k*lled the evil

by k*lling the bad.

k*lled me!

But as long as man

is alive in this universe

Till then the devil inside him

will remain alive.

Devil!

Devil!

Devil!

Even death Kneels before me

I am the one and only
