RUDRA

Now I have been doing some research

of my own. And I found something

very interesting.

Rudra pulls out an old, crumbling, cheap book.

RUDRA

This town ka puraan!

VICKY

This town has a puraan also?!

RUDRA

Yeah. Written by Shankar Shastri.

-- Rudra flips through the book --

VICKY

That senile old writer who used to

live by the creek?

Rudra stares Vicky down.

RUDRA

Before he lost his marbles, he was

a vidhwan.

Vicky nods.

Rudra sifts through the book -- filled with sketches along

with prose.

SHOTS OF the corresponding sketches as he reads in a sing

song tone --

RUDRA

“Many years ago.. blah blah blah..

a beautiful prostitute decided to

marry her lover.. blah blah.. Whole

town was furious and jealous at

this decision..”

Yeah, sure!

“they banished her and decided to

punished her and treated her like

she was a witch..”

Oh God.. these humans! Such brutal

creatures!

“She loved him with all her heart..

Blah blah.. And married him against

all resistance.”

Way to go girl!

“But in a tragic turn of events,

the people of the town hunted her

down..”

Bloody bastards..
