Kaalo

Between the 11th and 18th century,

witchery/witchcraft was practiced heavily in Europe, Africa and Asia

It has been found that over 46 thousand witches...

...were killed during this period.

Every incident had a story... One such incident had occurred in.

...Northern India in a village named Kulbhata.

During 18th century, this village, surrounded by a desert,

was tormented by a witch named Kaalo.

Kaalo wanted to sacrifice nubile girls to satisfy...

...her greed for immortality.

One day she was stoned to death and buried by angry villagers...

...but her fear lived on in and around Kulbhata.

Years later some villagers spoke of Kaalo's sightings yet again.

Kulbhata was vacated overnight by scared villagers.

All roads leading to Kulbhata were sealed by horrifying tales...

...of Kaalo killing anyone who dared to enter Kulbhata.

It is said, Kaalo still roams in Kulbhata...

...in a more ferocious form than before.

And it is believed that since that incident...

...no one has gone to Kulbhata.

Until a bus carrying some passenge on its way to Kuldevi...

...had to pass through Kulbhata

Respected father,

I am coming back.

I id not reply to any of your letters until now

because I myself didn't have any answers.

But I do now.

I am bringing joys for the village with me.

I have a whole lot of explosives.

We will dig a well in our village.

No one will lack water now, father.

We will have everything.

Your son, Sameer.

People love to live when they are old and like to die when young

You are riding many lives along with yours.

At least take care of theirs.

Taking care of others lives, my life has become dreadful.

Now get in.

Show me your ticket... Go take your seat.

Excuse me, that's my seat.

My father told me not to take the window seat,

the sunlight will hurt my eyes. Look how hot it has become.

Even the breeze comes in through the window. Please.

Arrogant!

She's calling you arrogant.

Why are you making her sit in the sun? Try to understand.

He's too much. He's turned a deaf ear.

Let it be, aunty, he's a kid.

Conductor, how much longer will you wait? Blow your whistle.

Driver, move.

Oh God, protect us.

Whatever hurdles may come our way, may we never stop.

Everybody listen to this important information.

You all are welcome on board.

No one remove your hands out of the window,

you may get hurt. I've warned you now.

And, it will take us 10 hours to reach Kuldevi,

if the bus is not stopped every now and then.

Information over.

I'd given this information to everyone already. This was for you

Formality. Understand?

Do you know why I brought you to t Indian desert for this photo shoot

Why? - Because I wanted to use the sand dunes,

the camels, the humps, the hounds, and the arcs.

Sit down, Hasmukh.

What is it?

You don't open your mouth, at least open your hand.

Thank you.

What a pain he is!

Arrogant uncle.

What are you thinking? Missing your grandson?

I wish to fly and reach him,

and hug him.

It's just a matter of a few hours.

You can shower your love on him as much as you want.

Ms. Aggressive, keep away those needles of yours.

They're hurting me.

Thank God. At least something hurts you.

What was I saying? - I'll hit you!

Okay! Take it as a joke. - No.

Let people talk. Just relax.

What is this?

If you have finished keeping your luggage, please take your sea

A family will board the bus ahead. Those four seats are booked by the

What are you doing? Can't you understand what I'm saying?

I asked you to take the seat behind.

Hey! Are you trying to threaten us

No no... I was only saying, will you set everything here itsel

Leave something for the journey ahead.

Damn the driver! If he drives like this, we'll miss Omi's weddin

Guddu, even Omi is getting married now.

Will my turn also come? Will I also get married?

You will surely get married, but the children will be mine.

What will this nincompoop do in life?

Where did the travelers go?

They must have gone to attend nature's call.

Are they going to finish everything today?

Come on, Hasmukh.

What are you doing? - Making a line.

At least do this job well.

Guddu is the perfect wooer.

If that photographer acts smart, I'll kill him.

Amazing. - Very good.

Well, I'm a professional photographer.

Guddu, your...

babe. - Reminded me of her again?

Boss, how long will we wait for them? Let's go.

Wait. If I'd gone to attend to nature's call,

would you leave me behind? - Not at all. - Then wait.

Is this a ditch or a gorge?

Wonder how this gorge was formed over night.

What will we do now? - Just see.

When God shuts one door, he opens another.

Another door?

Don't worry, sir, there is another road.

Look, we will not take the other road.

We'll turn back. - Back? But why?

Because that road passes through Kulbhata.

Kulbhata!

It is said, whoever has taken the Kulbhata route,

has never returned alive.

Never.

Now come. Think of the good and bad in the bus.

Shall we go, boss? - Let's go.

The whole world worries about the hole.

Damn the hole!

Look, don't abuse the hole.

Hey Chhotu! Have you gone to sleep again like a log on top of the bus

It's better if I put him to sleep for life.

Let it be. He's a kid.

Kid? He's a burden on earth.

Wake up, Chhotu. - Hey Chhotu! - Wake up!

Wake up!

Arrogant uncle, thank you.

It's okay.

Mr. Conductor, you must have come on this route many times befo

Tell us some horror story.

Good idea. - I'll narrate a true incident.

Life is moving on

People are living in love and peac

Everyone here is unaware of death

No one knows when the journey may end'

But life is dear to everyone

Hey! Stop scaring everyone with your nonsense.

Uncle, don't be afraid, it's just a story.

Only a story.

What happened? - I feel something amiss.

I feel something terrible is going to happen.

I'll have to do something.

You're impossible. Look, there are no ghosts.

It's just a fear of the mind.

Wrong! Spirits exist.

What is this lemon chilly?

Hey old man, what is that?

Uncle, we played with those things in childhood.

Want to see the power of this string?

Until Goddess Kuldevi's blessings are here,

no trouble can enter this bus.

Amazing!

Nonsense!

It's fire proof! - See, we can make a costume out of it.

And you can put me on fire. - Brilliant idea!

It will be a photo shoot on fire.

Nikhil, what this old man is saying... - Relax.

Chhotu, what happened?

Even I smoke, but it's forbidden in a bus, right

Thank you.

What happened? - Great! - What was that hero saying?

What happened? - We have a flat tyre.

Get down all of you, we have a flat tyre.

Damn this bus!

They should not leave the bus.

They shouldn't.

They don't know what a big risk they are taking.

Chhotu, what's happened to you?

It's nothing, just a flat tyre.

Come, let's have a smoke. - Damn him.

Come on. Come! - He's such a sissy.

Why do you bring him along? I told you not to bring him.

Why are you always after him? - Bury him alive.

Come on!

What? What are you up to?

That's the problem with me.

Whenever I see a girl dressed as a bride, even I wish I had one.

Take, smoke.

Give.

This other girl in the shorts, I think her trousers shrunk.

Or it must be today's fashion. I don't know.

1, 2, 3!

Come close. - No.

Shall I tell you something?

We're on our honeymoon.

Oh, God.

Shona, you are travelling alone.

Aren't you scared?

I've been coming to my grandma's house since childhood.

Oh.

Even you are travelling alone. Don't you get scared?

I used to be scared earlier, not anymore.

You are with me, my grandma.
