116. Forget about all that.
I'll take you to Khandala.Copy !req

133. I'll let you know.Copy !req
134. There's no staff here.Copy !req
135. I'll put Aunty to sleep.Copy !req
136. Of course, you're an expert at that.Copy !req
137. The room here is better
than any hotel room in Khandala.Copy !req
138. You're killing me.Copy !req
139. So, come, then.Copy !req
140. I will. See you.Copy !req

146. I had a brooch just like this one.Copy !req
147. I was young once, too.Copy !req
148. I used to get many gifts.
But it doesn't matter anymore.Copy !req
149. All the things I once valued
are lying in a corner, unloved.Copy !req
150. It's easy to say that
when you have everything.Copy !req
151. Don't you have everything?Copy !req
152. I was abandoned
at the Mysore railway station...Copy !req
153. wrapped in a rag.Copy !req
154. I grew up in an orphanage.Copy !req
155. I had nothing then,
and I have nothing now.Copy !req

167. What's that stench?Copy !req
168. That's my life.Copy !req
169. Is Armaan here?Copy !req

176. Right?Copy !req
177. Just imagine,Copy !req
178. if we had a house like this...Copy !req

180. I told you I would buy you a house.Copy !req
181. So, I will.Copy !req
182. Did you hear that?Copy !req
183. - What was that?

What else could I do?Copy !req
187. Are you scared?Copy !req
188. Is that why you forced me to come?Copy !req

199. What the fuck's going on?Copy !req
200. - She's awake.
- What?Copy !req
201. Who wakes up like that?Copy !req
202. - Let me check. You stay here.
- Are you crazy?Copy !req
203. Let's get out of here. Let's go.Copy !req
204. Are you scared?Copy !req
205. No. My mood's shot.Copy !req
206. My mood's shot.Copy !req
207. Guddu, she can't even move.Copy !req
208. There's something weird about this house.
Don't stay here.Copy !req
209. I have to. I work here.
They will fire me otherwise.Copy !req

219. Aunty, what is this?Copy !req
220. - I was asleep.
- You were not asleep!Copy !req
221. Aunty, please don't shout.Copy !req
222. You'll wake up the whole apartment block.Copy !req
223. Shouting won't help.Copy !req
224. Your son left two days ago.Copy !req
225. Do you think I'm a fool, you bitch?Copy !req
226. I heard him outside.Copy !req
227. There's no one outside.Copy !req

448. he watched them being eaten.Copy !req
449. Don't trust him, Uncle.Copy !req
450. He never tells the whole truth.Copy !req
451. You're from Bigtown.Copy !req
452. Why didn't you eat him?Copy !req
453. I saw my dad eat them.Copy !req
454. I had come to Smalltown with him.Copy !req
455. I saw it happen.Copy !req
456. I've lost my appetite ever since.Copy !req
457. I don't feel like eating.Copy !req
458. Come in.Copy !req
459. The cow is dead.Copy !req
460. It had been starving for weeks.Copy !req
461. If he can go out, why can't we?Copy !req
462. You won't make it out alive.Copy !req
463. Be quiet!Copy !req
464. You scrawny little pest.Copy !req
465. Enough with this nonsense!Copy !req
466. To hell with this!Copy !req
467. To hell with this!Copy !req
468. This infernal job.Copy !req
469. "Ate my dad!Copy !req
470. Eat raw onions, drink spoiled milk!"Copy !req
471. Ma'am?Copy !req
472. Where can I find
the Block Development Office?Copy !req
473. Ma'am?Copy !req
474. Don't move!Copy !req
475. There's something wicked happening
out there.Copy !req
476. The kids are in danger, sir.Copy !req
477. Why are you here?Copy !req
478. - Please don't leave us.
- Get inside.Copy !req
479. - Get inside.
- Why?Copy !req
480. Just get inside.Copy !req
481. Bolt it.Copy !req
482. Is everyone crazy here?Copy !req
483. I just told a man what's going on.
He just upped and left.Copy !req
484. - Told whom?
- Is there a blind school here?Copy !req
485. The teacher was here.Copy !req
486. The Principal!Copy !req
487. From here?Copy !req
488. From Smalltown?Copy !req
489. Some Smalltown people ate others, too,
so they would be spared.Copy !req
490. What do you mean by "spared"?Copy !req
491. They don't eat those who also eat.Copy !req
492. First, they lose their sight.Copy !req
493. Then they can't hunt on their own.Copy !req
494. This is where my dad
ate the Geography teacher.Copy !req
495. That was the first time.Copy !req
496. It all changed after that.Copy !req
497. Why did he eat him?Copy !req
498. Her father has a temper. That's why.Copy !req
499. Why did the teacher have to say,Copy !req
500. "This is a school,
not the Bigtown parade ground."Copy !req
501. Why did your dad have to say we need
Bigtown's permission to live in Smalltown?Copy !req
502. Dad is a councilman in Bigtown.Copy !req
503. - You need his permission.
- So, your dad—Copy !req
504. Dad...Copy !req
505. Dad, please don't eat us.Copy !req
506. We'll have to stay here from now on.Copy !req
507. We're human.Copy !req
508. They are animals.Copy !req
509. We have higher intelligence...Copy !req
510. They are on guard.Copy !req
511. Listen.Copy !req
512. Listen.Copy !req
513. You're a smart kid, right?Copy !req
514. You know everything about them.Copy !req
515. What was it you said?Copy !req
516. What was it? If we move...Copy !req
517. They see us.Copy !req
518. What else?Copy !req
519. If we speak...Copy !req
520. They see us.Copy !req
521. What else?Copy !req
522. If we eat...Copy !req
523. We'll smell of her.Copy !req
524. Perhaps they will believe we've eaten her.Copy !req
525. They don't eat those who also eat.Copy !req
526. Children!Copy !req
527. Children!Copy !req
528. They ate the children!Copy !req
529. Children!Copy !req
530. What happened to him?Copy !req
531. Hey!Copy !req
532. They ate my kids.Copy !req
533. Who ate them? Who did?Copy !req
534. Tell us what happened.Copy !req
535. - Calm down.
- They ate the kids.Copy !req
536. - Where are your kids?
- Back there.Copy !req
537. Here? In Smalltown?Copy !req
538. This town has been empty
for a month, Uncle.Copy !req
539. Are you alright? Are you lost?Copy !req
540. Come on, eat.Copy !req
541. You need to build up your strength.
Come on.Copy !req
542. This is a Bigtown delicacy.Copy !req
543. What brought you to Smalltown school?Copy !req
544. I had to file a report.Copy !req
545. Too many kids are failing.Copy !req
546. That's Smalltown kids for you.Copy !req
547. Even their Principal
has moved to the Bigtown school.Copy !req
548. See?Copy !req
549. The syllabus has changed.Copy !req
550. The town looked as if it had been burned.Copy !req
551. If you play with fire,
you will get burned.Copy !req
552. Don't mention Smalltown.Copy !req
553. The boss lost his daughter
in the troubles back there,Copy !req
554. despite him being a councilman.Copy !req
555. Don't worry.Copy !req
556. You're safe.Copy !req
557. You're with us now.Copy !req
558. Do you like history?Copy !req
559. Bigtown was once a touchstone mine.Copy !req
560. It was the capital of the whole state.Copy !req
561. Of course, sir.Copy !req
562. We will be great once again.Copy !req
563. I'm very attached to this house.Copy !req
564. Well, direct questions
always intimidate me.Copy !req
565. Why?Copy !req
566. No matter what the answer is,
it always seems like an excuse.Copy !req
567. I learned on Facebook
that you have a lot of friends.Copy !req
568. I saw on Instagram
that you are very beautiful.Copy !req
569. - On Twitter, I found out that you...
- That I...Copy !req
570. Well,Copy !req
571. let me tell you,
people who seem super bright,Copy !req
572. are extremely stupid
in their personal lives.Copy !req
573. Shall I elaborate or will you run away?Copy !req
574. I have all the time in the world.Copy !req
575. So, my first boyfriend...Copy !req
576. Let's just say that
he's made his home in rehab.Copy !req
577. I was thinking of cheating on him.Copy !req
578. But I found out about his affair first.Copy !req
579. Direct question.Copy !req
580. But it's my turn now.Copy !req
581. Shall I elaborate or will you run away?Copy !req
582. We were just about to send out
a search party.Copy !req
583. I don't know about the two of you,
but, Ira...Copy !req
584. I love your parents.Copy !req
585. Anyway, take all the time you need.Copy !req
586. Absolutely.Copy !req
587. And when you do decide,Copy !req
588. then all we have to do
is ask for Granny's permission.Copy !req
589. Unfortunately, she died 20 years ago.Copy !req
590. So, how will we get her permission?Copy !req
591. I'll talk to her.Copy !req
592. Remember, I promised
to attend all of your weddings.Copy !req
593. Isn't it very quick?Copy !req
594. Why the big rush?Copy !req
595. Good fucking?Copy !req
596. Hey, listen.Copy !req
597. But a talk show with a dead granny
is a bit of a freak show.Copy !req
598. No, it's not like that.Copy !req
599. Dhruv was very attached to his granny.Copy !req
600. Well, I just hope a new relationship
will change old habits.Copy !req
601. Shanti Ma, what a beautiful wedding!Copy !req
602. Ira looked gorgeous.Copy !req
603. I couldn't take my eyes off her.Copy !req
604. Me too.Copy !req
605. Granny always said,
never trust a woman with a sharp nose.Copy !req
606. "Sharp nose"?Copy !req
607. You mean, sharp intentions?Copy !req
608. "Intentions"?Copy !req
609. Only Granny can tell us that.Copy !req
610. Come on, go to bed.Copy !req
611. I always listen to this song
when I'm happy.Copy !req
612. Is this some kind of role-play
or are you playing the blushing bride?Copy !req
613. You were such a tiger at my house.Copy !req
614. - What's happened now?
- But this is my house.Copy !req
615. Yeah, so what's different?Copy !req
616. Everything.Copy !req
617. Sorry, I didn't hear you knock.Copy !req
618. Yes, the wedding ceremony was nice.Copy !req
619. Granny says good night.
Say good night to her.Copy !req
620. To whom, Dhruv?Copy !req
621. To whom shall I say good night?
I don't see anyone.Copy !req
622. No, don't be upset, Granny.Copy !req
623. She's new here.Copy !req
624. She'll understand soon.Copy !req
625. You just had to say good night.Copy !req
626. Sorry, my dear.Copy !req
627. She is asleep.Copy !req
628. You should get some sleep, too.Copy !req
629. His mom is a corpse, his granny is a ghost
and your husband is a dick.Copy !req
630. I'm telling you, I heard a noise...Copy !req
631. like a walking stick...Copy !req
632. It's an old house, babe.Copy !req
633. It's full of creaks and squeaks.Copy !req
634. - How did the door open?
- The breeze.Copy !req
635. It was the breeze, my darling.Copy !req
636. You're imagining things.
There are no ghosts.Copy !req
637. Sit down and talk it out with him.Copy !req
638. I got held up at the office.Copy !req
639. I get a little over-sensitive
about Granny.Copy !req
640. I know you love your granny a lot.Copy !req
641. And I want you to know,
that since we've met,Copy !req
642. it's been amazing.Copy !req
643. I've fallen madly in love with you, Dhruv.Copy !req
644. Me too.Copy !req
645. But I can't figure out
this Granny business.Copy !req
646. I mean, you having a relationship
with a dead person.Copy !req
647. Granny is not dead, Ira.Copy !req
648. Please have some faith, for your own sake.Copy !req
649. All this will affect our relationship.Copy !req
650. Why don't we buy a new house?Copy !req
651. Somewhere close to here.Copy !req
652. Our own life, together.Copy !req
653. Our own memories.Copy !req
654. New home, new relationship, new energy...Copy !req
655. So, when?Copy !req
656. Only Granny can tell us that.Copy !req
657. Right?Copy !req
658. We were just talking,Copy !req
659. and Ira thinks we should move
to a new place.Copy !req
660. It will be close to here.Copy !req
661. And for a change,
I'll come over to say good night.Copy !req
662. That's not true, Granny.Copy !req
663. Just give her some time.Copy !req
664. This is Granny's room.Copy !req
665. Yes, I was just taking a walk.Copy !req
666. There's a huge garden outside.Copy !req
667. Shanti, how long have you worked
in this house?Copy !req
668. As many years as I have teeth in my head.Copy !req
669. Thirty-two.Copy !req
670. Then you must have known Granny
really well.Copy !req
671. Really well.Copy !req
672. What was she like?Copy !req
673. She is an amazing woman.Copy !req
674. She has enchanting eyes.Copy !req
675. People are enthralled by her.Copy !req
676. - And Dhruv?
- She loves him more than life itself.Copy !req
677. Dhruv is her life.Copy !req
678. Even after her death?Copy !req
679. What happened, Shanti?Copy !req
680. What happened?Copy !req
681. Dhruv and GrannyCopy !req
682. used to play a game every evening.Copy !req
683. What was the game?Copy !req
684. And one evening,
Dhruv pushed Granny accidentally...Copy !req
685. and she fell down the stairs.Copy !req
686. The fall broke all her bones.Copy !req
687. Her knees gave way.Copy !req
688. She could neither sit nor walk.Copy !req
689. All she did was lie in bed.Copy !req
690. She'd only let me see her.Copy !req
691. She allowed Jesus into her life.Copy !req
692. She adopted a new religion.Copy !req
693. Despite all her pain and depression,Copy !req
694. she would muster all her courage
each night and leave her bed.Copy !req
695. Clutching her cane,
she would visit Dhruv in his bedroom...Copy !req
696. just to hear those two words...Copy !req
697. How did she pass on?Copy !req
698. She didn't pass on.Copy !req
699. She only died.Copy !req
700. But how?Copy !req
701. I did a full background check.Copy !req
702. Respected in the community,
a thriving business,Copy !req
703. and there's a road named after Granny.Copy !req
704. She didn't pass on.Copy !req
705. She only died.Copy !req
706. Granny's not dead, Ira.Copy !req
707. If you are here, show yourself.Copy !req
708. Sorry, I was a little distracted today.Copy !req
709. Why?Copy !req
710. Granny didn't come here to say good night.Copy !req
711. Why didn't she come?Copy !req
712. She must be asleep... finally.Copy !req
713. Never joke about Granny again.Copy !req
714. Okay?Copy !req
715. Mom...Copy !req
716. for the first time in 20 years,
Granny didn't wish me good night.Copy !req
717. Are you alright?Copy !req
718. I'm leaving for work.Copy !req
719. What is it?Copy !req
720. I have this weird pain in my stomach.Copy !req
721. Lie down.Copy !req
722. It will all be okay.Copy !req
723. Okay.Copy !req
724. It's hurting a lot.Copy !req
725. It's alright.Copy !req
726. It's alright.Copy !req
727. Lie down.Copy !req
728. Try to sleep. The pain will ease up.Copy !req
729. Go to sleep.Copy !req
730. Want to hear a story?Copy !req
731. Shall I tell you a story?Copy !req
732. I never finished telling Granny's story.Copy !req
733. What happened was,
the pain kept increasing with the years.Copy !req
734. Just like this.Copy !req
735. Granny couldn't take it anymore.Copy !req
736. She begged me to put an end to it all.Copy !req
737. How could I refuse my boss's request?Copy !req
738. She told me to grind some castor seeds
and mix it into her breakfast.Copy !req
739. Yes, in her breakfast.Copy !req
740. So that no one would find out.Copy !req
741. And I did as she said.Copy !req
742. I can see you.Copy !req
743. Why?Copy !req
744. Because, now, you are in my world.Copy !req
745. Dhruv is a very good boy.Copy !req
746. I used to go in the mornings.Copy !req
747. Just release me from here...Copy !req
748. Dhruv didn't do anything wrong.Copy !req
749. These people had no faith, either.Copy !req
