- Dad - Yeah?

Why is everyone so scared of Padmini Thampuratti?

If you hear her story... will you be scared, my boy?

I'm not that scared, Dad.

Okay

Long ago, in Kallur Mana,

there lived a beautiful young Thampuratti named Padmini.

With her music and her love,

Padmini Thampuratti embraced everyone alike.

To them, she was a divine beauty.

Dathan Thampuran was Padmini Thampuratti's cousin.

He was a cruel man.

He was a sinister practitioner of dark magic.

And his Mana was guarded by evil spirits.

Dathan Thampuran, her own kinsman,

desired Padmini Thampuratti...

and went to any lengths to possess her.

But all his efforts were in vain.

But her heart belonged to...

Suryan Namboothiri of Aryanattu Mana.

Skilled in martial arts and mystic lore,

Suryan Namboothiri was someone

...the young Padmini Thampuratti deeply admired.

They fell in love in their childhood...

and decided to marry and build a life together.

Suryan and Padmini's love became a torment

that stole Dathan Thampuran's sleep.

He tried every possible way to get rid of Suryan Namboothiri...

but failure followed him at every turn.

While Suryan Namboothiri... was absorbed in his prayers,

When he remained lost in his rituals...

Dathan Thampuran ensnared Padmini Thampuratti...

through another plot and killed her.

Padmini Thampuratti, who died young

with her dreams unfulfilled...

returned as a Yakshi...

and killed many in that land.

She brutally killed Dathan Thampuran as well.

Unable to live under her terror,

people fled the village.

After she became a 'Yakshi,'

that land has lost its prosperity.

With his mystic powers, Suryan Namboothiri performed an elaborate ritual...

and sealed Padmini Thampuratti into a Panchaloha idol.

Suryan Namboothiri then carried the idol,

along with his ring,

from Kallur Mana to Aryanattu Mana.

From that day on, that idol was never seen again.

Somewhere in the dark cellars of this mana...

that idol still remains.

With immense power and fury,

Padmini Thampuratti remains bound within that Panchaloha idol.

Mom

Yes?

Who's this Padmini?

Son, where did you get this from?

I heard it from my uncle... and everyone else too.

No one here dares to speak that name.

Why is it like that, Mom?

Long ago,

Padmini was a Yakshi who sought...

the total destruction of this Mana.

Even speaking about her fills everyone here with fear.

Son!

AROOPI

Niranj!

Son!

Niranj!!

Thank you, Uncle.

- Thank you! - What's it, dear?

Your doll fell?

I never expected the project to be this well set up.

There's a lot going on here that you don't know about.

Look, our Youth Star's already here!

What's with everyone...

starting gossip first thing in the morning?

- Congratulations, sir! - Thank you.

We're all so happy that you got the project.

Thanks, have a seat.

Where's our Sakshi?

Not ours...it's yours Sakshi!

Good Morning!

Good Morning, Sakshi

So only Niranjan sir gets a 'good morning', huh?

Don't we get one?

I said good morning to everyone.

Fine, you guys talk.

I'm leaving.

Err...I'll leave too.

Can I leave, sir?

Yeah, alright.

- See you at the office. - Yeah, sure

Hello?

Okay, sir

Sure, sir.

Sir?

Niranjan sir?

What's it, Malli?

Sir...are you daydreaming?

Some dreams are never enough... no matter how often you see them.

MD is asking for you.

What happened?

No idea. He wants you in his cabin.

I'll go, you can leave.

Okay

- Good Morning sir - Yea, good morning

Sir, why did you call me?

There's something I have to tell you

What's the matter, sir?

Already we have done our project.

And, it has significiant risks,

Okay

If there's no caution,

it could impact us severly.

I'm putting all my trust on you.

Sir, our team is well equipped to handle this.

There's no chance of a lapse from our side.

This project is already facing a lot of problems.

So don't take it lightly.

Sure sir, okay.

Yeah

Oh, is that how it was?

Of course!

Hi!

I'll call you on sometime

- Want a puff? - No

I've been noticing you since this morning,

What happened to you?

- Is the project stressing you out? - Not at all

Forget that

Any plans for this evening?

I don't know, Niranjan

I think you're hiding something from me.

Nothing like that

I have my own space...

I just keep moving around in it.

That's all.

I know...I won't really be there in any of it.

Anyway,

I forgot to say you something

Our colleague Ameya,

It's her birthday

And we're going.

Should I come?

Yeah, you should definitely come.

Fine, I'll come

Just give me a call. I'll be ready

- Okay? - Okay

- Alright - See you in the evening

Bye, see you

Bye, see you.

Hello! I'm ready.

Oh! I forgot my keys.

No, no! Listen, we're already getting late.

Let's leave, Niranjan.

Come, let's go.

I said come!

Come on

Why do you seem off?

Such a spectacular character you are.

What happened to you?

Nothing at all.

Maybe you're imagining it.

Or maybe after a few drinks...

I have been noticing for quite some time now.

You've been drinking too much lately.

Move, I'll help you.

That's my scooter. I'll do it.

Move!

You can't walk and you want to posh it seems

"You are my heartbeat"

"You live in every thought"

"Are you the breeze that softly touches me?"

"I'm close to you, you're close to me"
