This new Korean drama consists of 10 episodes, with one episode released every Friday and Saturday.

Would You Marry Me Episode 3 Recap

The episode begins with Woo-joo’s relatives almost catching Me-ri when Sang-hyun suddenly asks where his wife is, unaware of the chaos that has unfolded. Luckily, Me-ri hides just in time while Woo-joo quickly distracts Sang-hyun and leads him away. When Woo-joo’s relatives find Me-ri’s phone on the ground and try to return it to her, thinking she is a stranger, she pretends to be possessed and manages to grab her phone back, frightening them enough to run away.

Later that night, Woo-joo advises Me-ri to find another place to stay since Sang-hyun’s watchful eyes could land them in trouble. She contacts the only friend she knows in Seoul, only to discover he has joined the army. With no other option, she checks into a long-stay motel that looks rather suspicious and uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Woo-joo’s grandmother gives her approval to Jin-gyeong’s feelings for Woo-joo, unaware of the complicated truth her grandson is hiding. After a meeting at headquarters, Woo-joo’s team invites Me-ri out for dinner. Everyone drinks, and both Woo-joo and Me-ri make sure that no one discovers they are the fake married couple who won the Beaute Department Store contest.

When Me-ri gets very drunk, Woo-joo steps in to save her from his colleagues, who try to make her pay for their karaoke session. He takes her back to her motel and quickly realises how strange and unsafe the place is. When he returns to her room to collect his car keys, suspicion makes him act impulsively, and he accidentally punches the motel owner, thinking the man is harassing Me-ri. In reality, the owner is only trying to help her after she burns her foot with hot water. Feeling guilty, Woo-joo decides to take Me-ri to the house they won and tells her to stay there quietly with the lights off.

Me-ri follows his instructions and hides carefully, not wanting Sang-hyun to discover her. However, she is unaware of the sound-sensitive lights in the house. When she claps to kill a mosquito, the lights switch on, and Sang-hyun, who has planned to visit the newlyweds to keep up appearances, notices something is off. He helps Me-ri understand how the lights work, but becomes suspicious when he sees no trace of Woo-joo around. Me-ri lies, saying they have not had time to unpack yet. Sang-hyun tells her he will visit again next week to see how the newlyweds are settling in.

Me-ri informs Woo-joo about everything, and they decide to take a wedding photo to make their story more convincing. Meanwhile, the company’s criminal mastermind, Han-gu, fears his embezzlement will be exposed. To cover his tracks, he plans a deadly accident for one of the company’s hardworking employees who knows the truth. His plan succeeds, and the employee dies in a tragic car crash.

The next day, Woo-joo and Me-ri go for their wedding photoshoot. As they pose together in wedding attire, they both feel an unexpected spark. Just as they are about to leave the studio, Woo-joo spots Se-jung and panics. He rushes back inside and kisses Me-ri to stop Se-jung from recognising him, making it look like a couple sharing a private moment. When Woo-joo finally pulls away, Me-ri notices Se-jung entering the room and quickly pulls him in for another kiss. The episode ends with both of them blushing, unsure whether it was all just an act anymore.

Would You Marry Me Episode 3 Review

This episode of Would You Marry Me? was pure chaos wrapped in cuteness. From Me-ri’s hilarious “possessed” act to her hiding in a dodgy motel, the comedy was on point. Woo-joo, being the accidental hero (and part-time troublemaker) just added to the fun. Their fake marriage is turning into something suspiciously real, and every small glance between them makes it harder not to root for these two clueless sweethearts.

The ending totally stole the show. That unexpected double kiss? Absolutely adorable and awkward in the best way possible. Woo-joo and Me-ri are clearly falling for each other, even if they won’t admit it yet. With office gossip, secret missions, and romantic tension building up, this episode was a perfect mix of funny, flirty, and heartwarming, the kind that leaves you grinning long after it ends. Man, this series gives pure 2016 vibes, and I’m loving it.

The Perfect Neighbor Review: A Hard-Hitting Documentary That Leaves You Reeling

The Perfect Neighbor Review: An escalating altercation between neighbours in Florida takes a lethal turn over children playing in the neighbourhood. The documentary pieces the situations together and brings the shocking truth to light.

The Perfect Neighbor Netflix Director

Geeta Gandbhir

The film has a runtime of 96 minutes.

The Perfect Neighbor Review

The Perfect Neighbor is somewhat of a unique watch on Netflix in that it consists of no interviews, no voiceovers and mostly no context. We watch 96 minutes of bodycam footage that pieces together the escalating fight between two neighbours in a sleepy neighbourhood over children playing on the street with devastating consequences.

The documentary pieces together seemingly insignificant situations between the two neighbours, initially leaving us to wonder why this is part of a documentary film. However, the situation slowly builds into something horrifying as the building tension leaves you with goosebumps and with a whole lot of confusion.

The Perfect Neighbor Review: Still
The Perfect Neighbor Review: Still

The documentary is unassuming and thoroughly fantastic. It’s so shocking, and the sheer lack of context or discussion adds to the tension of the film, and you wait with bated breath as things go from bad to worse. Of course, there comes a discussion surrounding gun laws in America that has been a big problem for the last couple of years. I mean, the consequence of having freedom results in a general lack of safety for those who don’t have the means to protect themselves from them, but hey, at least we can freely hold and shoot guns, right?

The documentary film is absolutely harrowing and will leave anyone on edge. It’s one of the best documentaries I have watched in a long time because it doesn’t over dramatise, gives us the facts, but also makes sure that the pacing is not too slow for viewers to lose interest. Its intense storytelling can border on uncomfortable, and viewers will find themselves constantly on edge and hoping for a happy resolution. But, of course, there’s none of that to be found here.

Apart from gun laws, the documentary also brings to attention discussions surrounding racism and how power, paranoia and prejudice can lead to a terrible and avoidable tragedy. I think without saying a lot, the film showcases the hard-hitting truths in an impactful way.

Final Thoughts

The Perfect Neighbor Review: Still

The Perfect Neighbor is a terrifying watch that will leave you on edge as soon as it starts. Its unique storytelling adds to the tension that you feel throughout the runtime of the film as things go from bad to worse over the most simple thing.

Greater Kalesh Review: A Half-Baked Diwali Drama That Needed Some Time

Greater Kalesh Review: Taking place over Diwali, Twinkle’s surprise visit home turns into a mess when it reveals unexpected tension that will reveal what it truly means to be a family.

Greater Kalesh Review

In Greater Kalesh, we watch a typical family overcome their obstacles over the course of a few days in Diwali as many secrets come out in the open and the family, through love and understanding, come to terms with their own lives and struggles.

The film is a simple and convenient affair for viewers who like to watch simple stories. At 52 minutes, it’s a crisp and enjoyable watch, but unfortunately offers literally nothing new. Twinkle visits her home to find that she has missed out on everything in her family’s life, and it’s turned into one big “kalesh.” Her arrival turns everything on its head as the family starts to heal and listen to one another, and, in a convenient last act, things are back to normal and all the problems are solved.

Greater Kalesh Review: Ahsaas Channa, Poojan Chhabra
Greater Kalesh Review: Ahsaas Channa, Poojan Chhabra

Although it’s a nice, light-hearted watch that won’t add or subtract anything from our lives, Greater Kalesh is an idealistic version of Indian families where we can wear a tiny blouse in the midst of gossiping extended family, and our parents are cool enough to accept our same-sex relationship. It’s just not a thing that can happen, and thus, it makes things feel half-baked and unrealistic.

Although fine, considering the 52-minute runtime, the film doesn’t invoke any real emotions because it rushes through all the plot points, trying to get to the end. Viewers will constantly feel like they are in a race against time to end all of the plot points within the designated time, instead of it being a natural progression.

Also Read: Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas Ending Explained: Is the Murderer Caught? What Happened to the Missing Women?

Some of the plot points are quite relatable, and the idea of there constantly being something or the other happening in Indian families is entertaining, but that’s about it. It never makes an impact because there is no time to explore anyone’s points of view or emotions as we race to the finish.

Final Thoughts

Greater Kalesh Review: Poojan Chhabra, Ahsaas Channa, Supriya Shukla
Greater Kalesh Review: Poojan Chhabra, Ahsaas Channa, Supriya Shukla

Greater Kalesh is fine, but that’s about it. Its short runtime might be tempting, but it doesn’t do anything to create a realistic and memorable story out of Diwali shenanigans. I guess it’s fine for a one-time watch, but nothing more.

She Walks in Darkness Ending Explained: Is Amaia Dead or Alive?

Netflix’s She Walks in Darkness is a tense political thriller that grips from start to finish. Directed by Agustín Díaz Yanes, the film dives deep into Spain’s long and painful history with the Basque separatist group ETA. With its slow-burn tension and emotional depth, the movie’s ending is both haunting and powerful.

She Walks in Darkness Ending Explained

The story follows Amaia, a young Guardia Civil officer who has been living undercover within ETA for more than a decade. Her mission, called Operation Mayhem, is to gather intelligence on the group’s activities and locate their hidden weapon caches known as “zulos”. But the years of deception have taken a toll, Amaia’s loyalties blur, her mental health frays, and she begins to lose her sense of self.

In the final act, tension reaches its peak when ETA leaders begin to suspect that there’s a mole among them. Their paranoia grows after several failed missions and sudden arrests. Amaia knows her cover is at risk, but she continues to send coded information to her handler, Colonel Sánchez, who works secretly within the Guardia Civil intelligence unit.

She Walks in Darkness Ending Explained: Susana Abaitua, Andrés Gertrúdix

The turning point arrives when ETA leader Anboto discovers clues revealing Amaia’s true identity. She orders that Amaia be eliminated under the guise of a simple errand, a drive to a safehouse that’s actually an ambush. However, Colonel Sánchez has anticipated this possibility. To warn Amaia without exposing himself, he arranges for a special song, “Parole Parole,” to be played on a radio programme that Amaia listens to. The song had been established earlier in the film as a secret signal, a final alert meaning: Run. You’ve been compromised.

As the familiar melody plays over the radio, Amaia realises the truth, she’s been found out. Panic sets in as the car veers toward the woods. She escapes before it’s too late, running through the dark forest while gunshots echo behind her. The sequence is both thrilling and heartbreaking, symbolising her desperate bid not only for survival but also for freedom from the lies she has lived.

At the same time, Colonel Sánchez initiates the final phase of Operation Mayhem. Through Amaia’s intelligence, Spanish authorities close in on several ETA strongholds, leading to the arrest of high-ranking figures including Anboto. The editing between Amaia’s flight and the simultaneous arrests adds a poetic symmetry: while she’s fighting for her life, her years of sacrifice are finally paying off.

She Walks in Darkness Ending Explained: Susana Abaitua

By dawn, Amaia reaches a quiet country road, exhausted but alive. She looks up as sunlight breaks through the trees, a subtle yet powerful image suggesting liberation. However, the film doesn’t grant her full peace. She’s still alone, her identity fractured beyond repair. She has survived, but the cost of survival is immense. The camera lingers on her face, neither triumphant nor defeated, just haunted by everything she’s lost.

To Wrap Up

The ending of She Walks in Darkness avoids the simplicity of clear victory or defeat. Yes, Amaia survives, and yes, her mission succeeds in dismantling a part of ETA’s operations. But the emotional resolution is deliberately uneasy. Amaia has lived so long pretending to be someone else that she no longer knows who she truly is. The title captures this perfectly, the darkness is not just political, but personal.

She Walks in Darkness Ending Explained: Susana Abaitua
She Walks in Darkness Ending Explained: Susana Abaitua

The film’s final message lies in the conflict between duty and identity. Amaia’s story is not just about espionage; it’s about the psychological cost of loyalty. Her survival feels less like a happy ending and more like an escape from one nightmare into another — a life where she must now live with the memories of deceit and the ghosts of the people she betrayed.

Agustín Díaz Yanes crafts the ending with quiet precision. There’s no grand explosion or emotional outburst, only the soft, unsettling silence of aftermath. Ultimately, She Walks in Darkness ends not with clarity but with reflection. Amaia’s survival mirrors Spain’s own turbulent healing, a nation emerging from decades of conflict, scarred but still standing. The light that finally touches her face in the last frame is both literal and metaphorical: she walks out of the darkness, but its shadow will always follow.

27 Nights Review: A Feel-Good Film That Does Its Job

27 Nights Review: 27 Nights (27 noches) is a 2025 Argentine drama film directed by Daniel Hendler, adapted from Natalia Zito’s acclaimed 2021 biographical fiction novel Veintisiete noches. Co-written by Hendler, Martín Mauregui, and Agustina Liendo from an initial adaptation by Mariano Llinás, the film stars veteran actress Marilú Marini.

This is about Martha Hoffman, an eccentric, wealthy 83-year-old woman whose free-spirited nature and unconventional choices spark concern from her family. The narrative unravels a delicate and emotionally layered exploration of ageing and the societal boundaries placed on women as they grow older.

Premiering as part of the opening lineup at the 73rd San Sebastián International Film Festival, 27 Nights competed for the prestigious Golden Shell award on September 19, 2025. Following its festival debut, the film will be available for global streaming on Netflix beginning October 17, 2025.

The runtime of The Time That Remains movie is 1h 47m approx.

27 Nights Review
27 Nights Review: Marilú Marini

27 Nights is a refreshing and entertaining film that is essentially based on real-life events and explores the themes of ageing and freedom. Here, Martha comes off as an unorthodox and free-spirited old lady, for whom life is more of a party, even at her age. She does not care what other people think and lives her life to the fullest. This also includes spending money carelessly, investing in random businesses, taking in multiple young lovers with questionable intentions, and partying all the time.

However, that becomes an issue for her daughters, who think that her age is finally catching up to her and she needs supervision. Without her consent, they sent her to a psychiatric clinic on the grounds that she has dementia, based on very shoddy reports that essentially mean nothing.

Thus, it becomes the job of Casares, an expert assigned by the court to decide whether Martha should get her freedom back or she should spend the rest of her life in confinement.

The movie does a fine job of keeping the spontaneous mood alive with a fast pace and interesting background music. From the moment it begins, it has a whimsical quality to it that symbolises the nature of the main heroine, Martha herself. Contrasting her personality is Casares, who is a straight-laced, token good guy who must understand the true issue here. It is a high-profile case where the daughters are hell-bent on proving their mother does not deserve financial freedom, as Martha just wants to live her life the way she wants to.

27 Nights Review
27 Nights Review: Still

The movie definitely brings some serious questions about age and whether somebody truly loses all rights to have fun after they grow up. On top of that, if somebody has spent their entire lives earning money, do they not have the liberty to spend it however they want? Though there is no clear answer to this, the movie does a fine job of drawing a conclusion that satisfies all parties.

The actors are brilliant in this movie as they make a simple storyline like this into a fun watch experience. It is also very realistic and grounded in its approach despite having all the impulsive qualities.

Verdict

All in all, this is a nice and fun movie that does not have a mind-bending narrative, but entertains you thoroughly. It is delightful, quirky, and comes with a great message, so definitely give this film a try.

She Walks in Darkness Review: A Haunting Tale of Secrets and Shadows

She Walks in Darkness Review: This is a Spanish Netflix thriller directed and written by Agustín Díaz Yanes. Set between the 1990s and 2000s in the Basque region, the story follows Amaia, a young Guardia Civil officer who goes undercover inside ETA, the Basque separatist group. Her mission is to find secret weapon stores hidden across southern France.

The film combines history, mystery and personal struggle, showing how far one person can go when duty and conscience collide. With its mix of emotion, suspense and realism, it stands out as one of Netflix’s most serious and thoughtful thrillers of the year.

She Walks in Darkness Review

From the very beginning, She Walks in Darkness draws viewers into a tense and shadowy world. The story is heavy with emotion and filled with moral questions. Cinematographer Paco Femenía captures the gloomy beauty of Spain and southern France perfectly. The grey skies, misty roads and quiet towns help create a mood that fits the story’s dark tone. The film was shot in several real locations across the Basque Country, which gives it a sense of truth and depth.

Susana Abaitua gives a strong and heartbreaking performance as Amaia. She plays a woman torn between loyalty to her country and her own peace of mind. Living undercover for years, Amaia slowly begins to lose herself. Every choice she makes costs her a piece of her identity. The film handles her psychological struggle with care. Her silence, her tired eyes and her small gestures all speak louder than any words. She becomes both a hero and a victim, trapped between two worlds that she can no longer separate.

The story moves at a steady pace, building tension without relying on constant action. There are moments of danger and violence, but the quiet scenes leave the strongest impression. We feel Amaia’s fear of being caught and her loneliness as she keeps her true self hidden. The writing focuses on the emotional weight of her secret life rather than on fast chases or shootouts. This choice makes the film more realistic and moving.

At times, the film slows down, especially in the middle section. Some scenes feel stretched or unnecessary, but the beautiful camerawork and atmosphere keep the audience engaged. The background of ETA and the political conflict could have been explored more deeply. For viewers who do not know much about Spanish history, some details might be unclear. However, the emotional core of the story is strong enough to hold attention throughout.

The supporting cast, including Andrés Gertrúdix, Iraia Elias, Raúl Arévalo and Ariadna Gil, give believable performances. Each of their characters adds to the tension and shows a different side of the same conflict. The sound design and music also deserve praise. The score is quiet and haunting, building suspense without ever becoming too loud or dramatic. It matches the film’s tone perfectly, keeping the audience on edge until the very end.

She Walks in Darkness Review: Susana Abaitua, Raúl Arévalo
She Walks in Darkness Review: Susana Abaitua, Raúl Arévalo

Agustín Díaz Yanes’s direction is careful and precise. He focuses on the people rather than the politics, showing how violence and secrecy affect ordinary lives. The film’s strength lies in its honesty. It never turns into a simple tale of good and bad. Instead, it presents a world where every decision hurts someone and where truth and lies are often the same.

Final Thoughts

She Walks in Darkness is a thoughtful and emotional thriller that stands apart from typical political dramas. It focuses less on explosions and more on the quiet destruction of a person’s soul. The story of Amaia reminds us that courage can also be painful, and that some victories come with deep loss.

The film is not without flaws. It sometimes lacks pace and does not fully explain the complex politics behind the events. Still, its emotional depth and strong performances make it memorable. Susana Abaitua carries the story with grace and honesty, and her portrayal of Amaia will stay with viewers long after the film ends.

Overall, She Walks in Darkness is powerful, personal and beautifully made. It offers a haunting look at what it means to live in constant fear and to keep walking forward in darkness. It may not be an easy film to watch, but it is one that deserves to be seen and remembered.

She Walks in Darkness is streaming on Netflix.

Good News Ending Explained

The film opens with passengers getting on a plane that is about to be hijacked. Things soon go off the rails soon enough but hilariously, the inexperienced hijackers have done no research and, thus, have no idea how to get to North Korea and nor do they have any idea about how much fuel it takes to get there. The pilots, sensing their lack of preparedness, take advantage and tell them that they must refuel in order to have a chance to reach Pyongyang.

In the midst of the chaos is Sul Kyung-gu’s Nobody and Hong Kyung’s Seo Go-myung, along with the US Intelligence Agency, who look up an elaborate scheme to have the plane never reach Pyongyang and give up the hostages as well. With Park Sang-hyeon’s blessings, Go-myung goes ahead with violating international aviation laws while trying to figure out the plane’s path. They eventually do find it, but mismanagement and a breakdown of communication among all parties result in things getting a bit messy!

Go-myung eventually catches the plane on the emergency frequency while on a duel with the North Koreans and is able to divert all communication to their own frequency while they turn Gimpo International Airport in Seoul into Pyongyang and deceive the plane into landing in South Korea and save countless lives.

Is the plan successful?

The initial plan is unsuccessful because the hijackers figure out that they are in South Korea and not the North. The hijackers call Go-myung to the plane and threaten to kill the hostages if they don’t let them fly to the North. After a conversation with the First Lady, the South Koreans promise to let them go to the North if they let the passengers out, but the hijackers refuse to believe the boy who cried wolf.

In the end, with all the different bureaucrats refusing to take responsibility, Go-myeong decides to rush to the plane to stop them from blowing the entire thing up. Thankfully, on the way, Shinichi Ishida, the Japanese Deputy Minister of Transport, decides to make an exchange – him in place of the 100 passengers.

The plane eventually goes to the North, where nothing truly happens. It turns out that the hijackers were only carrying fake guns and had no intention of killing anyone, and received asylum in the North. Go-myung doesn’t get the honour that he had hoped to receive because, after a talk with the US and the Soviet Union, South Korea officially refuses any involvement in the matter, thus rendering all of their sacrifices null and void. However, at least his conscience is clear.

Good News Review

A plane being hijacked is always a terrifying situation, one that movies and shows turn into a watch full of dread and tension. However, Good News, based on the Yodogo Hijacking Incident of 1970, is hilariously chaotic, and the dark comedy elements added to it make for a delightfully tense yet hilarious watch.

From the first minute of its runtime, the editing and direction choices make it clear that the creators wanted to make this as chaotic as possible, and it works in favour of the film too well. Every minute of the runtime is hilariously unhinged as the confused officials on the ground make one silly decision after another, including leaving a jet plane parked in front of the hijacked plane and making a run for it. The reasons seem confusing and foggy, but what follows is nothing short of hilarious.

Good News Review: Ryoo Seung-bum
Good News Review: Ryoo Seung-bum

What works for the drama is its sharp satire and humour that goes beyond a simple political thriller and goes above and beyond to be something more than that. It discusses nuanced topics with a lot of humour that will keep viewers interested throughout the runtime, focusing on complex bureaucratic relationships, what it truly means to be a communist establishment, and the weight of politics in such dire situations will give viewers something intense to witness.

However, the film does a great job of breaking through the weighty subjects with a lot of humour that never goes overboard. It gives the seriousness of the situation enough time to process itself while cutting through the tension, increasing the entertainment factor quite a bit. Moreover, with fantastic performances from the entire ensemble cast of talented individuals, it’s difficult not to be enamoured by the story.

Lastly, the film is based on a real-life hijacking incident, which definitely adds to the intrigue of the situation. Although fictionalised, the film grounds itself thanks to the real-life incident and makes this even more dire while finding the humour in the bumbling mess that is bureaucracy. In the end, thus, viewers will find themselves waiting for more and to see where the story goes as things go from hilariously bad to worse.

Hollywood Hustler Review

When you’re looking in from the outside of a Ponzi scheme, you wonder frequently how someone can fall into something this transparent. However, interestingly, in Hollywood Hustler, we see how difficult it is to actually figure out that you’re in a scheme when there’s no reason for you to doubt the person selling you dreams in any way.

With three short episodes, this Prime Video docuseries follows former actor, film producer and convicted fraudster Zach Horwitz, known by his stage name Zach Avery, as he lies, cheats and schemes his way to realise his dreams while defrauding friends, family and other investors of millions of dollars.

The series, surprisingly, focuses a ton on Horwitz’s life, and particularly on his romantic relationship with his wife and mistress, and leaves us feeling rather disgusted from the start. However, the deeper we delve into the schemes and, eventually, into Horwitz’s mind, viewers will be left shocked by how easily he was able to con several people without a thought in the world.

The three episodes detail how he defrauded everyone around him, and his background, shedding light on how and why he was the way he was and how he ended up manipulating so many people into doing his bidding. You are also left to question over and over again how his victims never looked deeper into what they were getting into, as the tall claims feel a bit too far-fetched from the start and are quite unbelievable to boot.

Things just keep getting more and more extreme until they eventually fall apart, like how Ponzi schemes always do, and viewers are left to take in a rather curious and thrilling series full of questions. It does a great job of showcasing the downsides of greed and how the smallest glimmer of fame can make people lose all semblance of reality. However, we also learn that the conniving goes deeper for Zac, and the ties with his mother are nothing short of juicy.

As with every other true crime documentary, the series brings forth all of these truths through interviews, archival footage and call recordings that will give you goosebumps and tells a complicated tale of how Zac effortlessly got so many people to do his bidding. It’s truly mind-blowing and a little disturbing, especially the call recordings, and will leave you curious about the whys and hows of the entire situation. I think the interviews are very interesting as well, especially the conversations with his wife and mistress, that paint a very personal picture of the scammer.

Final Thoughts

All in all, this one’s quite entertaining.

Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas Ending Explained

The film starts off with Vishwas Bhagwat being transferred to a small town after he beat up a criminal. Disappointed, he quickly gets neck deep into a missing person’s case wherein a young woman, Poonam, is nowhere to be found for days. He is immediately interested and starts to investigate the case, but with very little evidence to point him in the right direction, things get a bit slow.

Even then, he pushes on and eventually, from her call records, is able to find a phone number that she frequently called late at night. It’s rumoured that she was dating someone and might have run away with him, but Bhagwat still decides to get to the bottom of the situation. The phone records lead him to someone’s phone, and from there, he finds out that several other women have also been similarly missing over the course of a few years, who are all connected to Poonam in some way.

They also pay a visit to Kavita, whose number they find in the mystery phone’s call records, and from her, they learn that a friend of hers might be involved in the situation. At this time, Bhagwat thinks that this is a case of human trafficking, and soon realises that there are deeper matters at play.

On the other hand, one of the IMEI numbers that he was investigating suddenly turns out, and the police nab two young college students who tell him that they found the phone after an altercation with a man driving a scooter with a politician’s face on it. From the photos that the perpetrator left in Kavita’s studio, they realise that it’s the same man and, eventually, find Rajkumar Siritiya’s name, who has been lying to Kavita for years.

After she corroborates that it’s the same man, Bhagwat easily nabs him with his force and decides to interrogate him over the Diwali weekend. When threatened with putting his wife, Sumitra, in prison, he confesses to killing 19 women so that his wife can be spared.

Why did Rajkumar kill all of these women?

Rajkumar had no job and two wives and had to bring in the money from somewhere. Thus, telling the lie that he’s a college professor, he won women’s trust and started a relationship with them, eventually promising to marry them if they ran away with her. The truth is, he has only ever loved his second wife, Sumitra, and he killed all the other women to steal their valuables and keep up the ruse.

What is Meera’s connection to this incident?

Throughout the runtime of the film, we see Sameer’s budding relationship with Meera. Although viewers think that it’s happening in the present day, we learn in the end that the Meera incident happened years ago. In the present, Meera is the only woman who was able to escape Sameer’s clutches after she didn’t consume the cyanide capsule that he gave her and ended up in a coma after only licking it. She is now married with a young daughter, but lives in fear of what Rajkumar/Sameer did to her.

Does Rajkumar face justice in the end?

Although it initially seems as if Rajkumar will find a loophole and get out of jail, in the end, Meera arrives in court after days of anguish to testify against him and stop him from killing other women. Although the last scene tells us that Rajkumar was sentenced to prison and even a death sentence for the 19 murders, he is delaying justice by appealing to different courts in hopes of wiggling his way out of the system.
