Alidu Ulidavaru

Man, I can’t do it.

Go, dude.

Why don’t you go!

It’s your turn today.

Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!

Start the bike!

Turn it around!

Let’s get out of here! Quickly!

Wait a minute... Wait!

Amrita, listen to me! Don’t go inside!

Birth. Death.

Pain. Pleasure -

- are all consequential. There is always Reason.

Nobody worries about what is seen.

But,

There is always a misconception and fear of the unseen.

The things that exist... Why do they?

And the things that don’t... Why not?

Everything has a Reason.

Our quest for unseen Reasons continues with our show -

“KAARANA (The Reason)”

90ml of good alcohol gives you a nice buzz, apparently.

But we've got more than that tonight!

Let's dive into -

our 99th episode!

Look at this place...

Think of all the things that it has seen,

All the possible events that it might have sparked off...

All the possible energies that it might have channelled...

I wonder how many deaths it has witnessed.

At the end of this road is -

the place we will demystify tonight.

"The Beehive"

An abandoned guesthouse.

A few years ago, a lady was found dead here.

Then, a few days later -

Two young men.

And then,

a middle-aged husband and wife.

Over the next few weeks, the guesthouse gained a deadly reputation.

It was completely forgotten until recently when three young men decided to challenge the 'ghost'.

I have ended up making 98 episodes in search of this ghost, my dear viewers.

I hope I find him this time.

I hope my efforts finally pay off!

And it's not just that,

I'm like the main guy from Breaking Bad.

I want to walk to the ghost's house,

And knock on his door!

That's how he will know my name.

Anyway, ghosts don't exist and that is what we will prove again.

Let's go!

Gopal!

Coming, sir!

Gopal?

This way, sir.

Sir! Please come here.

Why don't you come inside, Gopal?

What's the matter?

Sir, I have shown you the house and I'm giving you the key. Just like my boss told me to.

I'm going to leave now, sir. You take care.

Why? Are you scared?

Yes sir. I must leave now.

Gopal!

Wait a second.

Here you go.

No, sir. It's OK.

It’s fine. Just keep it.

Thank you, sir.

So, my dear viewers!

Was that a ghost?

Let's take a small break!

Cut!

OK, superb!

Sir!

These are working hours.

Sorry, sir.

Focus on your work.

The episode must go on-air in three days.

Yes, sir.

Hi, Sheelam!

Hi, sir.

All done?

OK, ready for take!

Ready! Ready!

So, what exactly happened there?

The ghost was Gopal.

Gopal and his wife -

were the caretakers of the guesthouse.

Once, two young men who had come there -

raped and murdered his wife.

Who did this?!

Gopal's love for his wife -

transformed him into a murderer.

The murderous rage transformed him into a madman.

And now, he is in a mental asylum.

So, my dear viewers!

Gopal’s story -

and the mystery of The Beehive -

together give us the closure we need.

However, for me personally, it has been disappointing.

Even in this episode, I could not meet a real ghost.

It turned out to be a man yet again!

I'm more convinced than ever that man is the 'ghost' we are looking for!

Dear God, -

at least next time -

let me meet a real ghost. Please.

Good.

Very good!

Thank you, sir.

On one hand, there is the TRP ratings of all the other shows in our channel put together.

And then -

There is your show!

Your ratings are on a different level!

Thank you, sir.

I am really happy, Sheelam.

So -

the 99th episode is done.

The next one.

The big one!

The 100th episode!

Any plans?

Yes, sir. I am working on a couple of ideas.

Good!

Excuse me, sir. May I come in?

Come in.

OK, then.

Fine, sir.

Sheelam!

Remember... Numbers!

Take care of numbers!

Under no circumstances -

should your show’s ratings drop.

Other channels' GRP ratings must not even come close to ours!

All the very best!

OK, sir. Thank you!

Hey!

"Take care of your numbers..." -

"Numbers!" -

"The numbers should not drop!"

I will die before I let that happen, madam.

That animal definitely grew up drinking 'TRP-milk'.

He’s not an animal, he’s a monster!

One of these days, I will invite him to my cooking show and poison him on live TV.

Don't worry. When I take over as the boss, you'll be spared of all the trouble.

This guy again!

"Forward this message to 20 people -"

"- and make your future golden!”.

What nonsense!

Are you blind?!

Bumping into people like a mad bull!

This was a good opportunity to flirt with her, but alas!

Sorry, Guruji! Please don’t rain fire on me!

Siddesha, slow and steady wins the race.

No Guruji, slow and steady goes to the grave!

Why? What is the need to rush now?

There was a huge fight in the show between a husband and his wife.

The wife beat him with her high-heeled sandal.

His skull’s cracked open, I think.

I don’t know if I should take him to the hospital or to the graveyard.

Oh God! What about madam?

Chandrika madam - Is she OK?

She is completely alright, Guruji.

She knows exactly how far she needs to be from a fight.

She is always in control, you know!

Give me your blessings. I will leave now.

Bless me, please.

When your only purpose is TRP ratings -

then this sort of chaos is inevitable!

One cannot predict or control the future!

Not everyone is as blessed as Sheelam.

'Blessed'? It seems like you are fully in character for your 'future predicting' show!

It’s not a 'future predicting' show. That's not what I do.

My show is all about Spiritual Counselling.

When you talk about things like horoscope and astrology, people will want to know their futures!

That will never change, Guruji. Forget it.

We must stop engaging in mysticism and start living in reality.

Being alive is not the purpose of life!

Achieving high TRP numbers should be the purpose, you say?

That should be the only purpose! Of course!

Sir!

These numbers make or break a TV channel.

Numbers drive the channel. Channel drives the numbers.

Makes sense, Sheelam?

Yes, sir.

To explain it clearly to you, the FUTURE of a TV channel depends on these numbers!

Did you get the joke?

Very good, sir!

You know about that channel called “KA TV”?

Their astrology show -

gets better TRP ratings than ours!

They use things like amulet, coins and holy water to make it more thrilling!

What have you been doing?

Think of something like Doomsday!

I can’t be shameless like that, sir.

Guruji, people will watch only if you are shameless.

Look at the kind of sensational things that other Guruji does!

Watch him and learn!

Guruji, I have great respect for you and your beliefs.

But -

What about your numbers?!
