RESTRICTED VILLLAGE

These dilapidated buildings prove the fact that long back a city flourished here.

But, it's been almost 2 centuries since this town has had any inhabitants. Nor did those 84 nearby villages, where Paliwal Brahmins used to live.

Those Paliwal Brahmins who turned this village into a prosperous town. Then, all of a sudden, what made this village secluded overnight?

Why even after 200 years people are scared to come here after 6 o'clock in the evening?

What exactly happened in Kuldhara that people are so terrified by its history?

Why even today people can hear the sound of anklets and bangles in Kuldhara during the day? Won't you wanna know why?

"Found it!"

Whatever happened in Kuldhara till now.. Prabal was listening to it on his mobile phone.

The way he shouted.. Caught his friends' attention who were sitting besides him.

One of his friends' Aditya, asked him, "What made you scream at the top of your lungs?"

"Oh Aditya! I'm telling you, I've found a concept that can be a superhit!

A village in Jaisalmer, from where 5000 people vanished overnight."

Prabal had hardly finished speaking, when Zoya interrupted and said, "Aren't you talking about Kuldhara, Prabal?

Prabal replies in a romantic tone, "Yes, my dear baby! You got it very right."

Suddenly Vivaan interrupts and says, "Oh! Man..! you're also stuck in a centuries-old village.

Ouija is trending these days. We can talk to various spirits while sitting in this room."

"Hey Vivaan. You can just communicate with one spirit through Ouija.

But we'll be able to see so many spirits in those ruins of Kuldhara, or if not, at least we'll get 2-4 millions views as the location appears too dangerous."

Aditya laughed and replied to Prabal, "Don't know what kind of footage you will get there.

Meanwhile Zoya interrupted, "we can go there at night too, right?"

Zoya had a gleam in her eyes, as if she's desperate to go to Kuldhara.

But everyone had a frightened expression on their faces even though they were creating horror content.

They didn't have the guts to go there at night, that too at a place where no one had gone for two centuries.

And even if they gather the courage, they can't go to Kuldhara village after 6 pm.

And when Prabal said this to Zoya, she started provoking her.

Vivaan thought this was the right time to leave an impression on Zoya. So he said,

"Zoya, leave these cowards alone! Let's go together, and we'll manage to enter somehow."

Prabal also agrees to go to Kuldhara village with him because he didn't want Vivaan to become friends with Zoya.

Next morning, they all take a few essentials and leave for Kuldhara in a car.

A few kilometres before Kuldhara, they spot a signboard and an old woman.

Prabal stops the car near the vehicle. The moment Zoya looks at the old woman, she says,

"Why have you come here? Go away! They'll also die because of you."

Prabal moves the car forward after listening to her dangerous voice, and tells Zoya,

"I think she is your relative. She is angry because you're seeing her after a long time."

Everybody laughs at this, but Zoya is still looking at the old woman through the rearview mirror of the car.

But the old woman vanishes in a few moments.

When they reach the gates of Kuldhara village, a man wearing a white cloak stops them.

He takes money from them and says, "Come back before 6 o'clock in the evening, because the gates will be closed after that, and you won't have a single soul here."

Prabal tells him, "He need not worry as all his friends will come back soon" and takes the car inside.

The car itself leaves Kuldhara village at around 5 in the evening. Other people had also left the place.

The man closes the gates of the village at sharp 6 in the evening, and leaves.

Slowly, Kuldhara village is engulfed in the darkness of the night. Prabal reaches back to the village,

and only he and Aditya come out of the car. One with a hammer in his hand, and the other has a camera.

They wanted to show the world that they were the real daredevils who were capable of spending a night at a haunted place like Kuldhara.

They try to open the lock of the gate so they can reach where they left Zoya and Vivaan,

so that they can shoot from 6 in the evening till their arrival.

They installed cameras at different places inside the village so that they get the footage of the entire night.

Meanwhile, Vivaan got a chance to express his feelings to Zoya before Prabal.

Both of them reached the house that was related to the story of Kuldhara village.

As soon as Zoya entered the house, wind started blowing and Zoya fainted. A swarm of bats were flying in the room.

Zoya looks more beautiful as her hair flies with the wind. Though Vivaan is himself scared of all this,

but to show his heroic side to Zoya, he says, "Zoya, don't be scared. I'm with you."

He holds Zoya's hand and as soon he touches her, she faints. Vivaan is shocked to see her faint in front of him and he tries to wake her up.

But as soon as he realizes that she had just fainted, he stares at her body with lustful eyes.

He lies beside her and starts touching her.

But before he could do anything, Zoya wakes up. Now Vivaan tries to convince her that he was just waking her up.

But suddenly Zoya says, "What do you think of Salim Singh? Can you do anything with me? You'll never be able to satisfy your lust through me."

Suddenly, Zoya is having those clothes which girls used to wear centuries ago.

Meanwhile, Vivaan's body starts twisting in a weird way as if someone has possessed him.

In a few seconds, he also transforms into a state's minister.

Meanwhile, Prabal and Aditya also reach Kuldhara, and fix their entire setup near a temple,

from where they watch the live footage of all the cameras installed in the village.

Aditya is busy watching the footage, whereas Prabal still has a concerned look on his face.

He is worried that Zoya & Vivaan are together, and they haven't reached the designated place yet.

Suddenly, an idea strikes him and he decides to take the help of the footage to know their whereabouts.

As Prabal was thinking about all this, suddenly Aditya screams and calls him with a frightened expression on his face.

He was terrified after what he saw on the screen.

The village that was totally secluded in front of them…, he could see it fully populated on the screen.

He could see so many people in the village. Suddenly, he notices a horse on another screen, and he zooms it.

He is none other than Vivaan who is looking like a minister. He is holding Zoya tightly, and they are surrounded by few soldiers.

Prabal is puzzled to see all this, and he is not able to understand whatever that's happening on screen.

How are there so many people in this village? What are Zoya & Vivaan upto?

He can see a huge problem approaching them.

He suddenly notices the noise coming from the screen. Vivaan as Salim Singh says,

"People of Kuldhara, this village might belong to you, but only I rule here.

This is why it's your duty to serve me, and this girl who is in my control. Please don't mistake her as a criminal."

"Because I'm her real culprit, who cannot control his lust because of her.

But I don't want to keep her strictly with me. Instead, I want to marry her and be kind to her.

If anyone objects to it, I will kill him and their objection with this sword of mine."

Vivaan left Zoya on the floor, and said, "I'm leaving her today, but I'll definitely come back.

Until then, you all must be ready with your consent. Otherwise, I will take control of this entire village and you all will be the captives.

So, it's better if you keep her ready in a bride's dress."

After saying this the minister comes out of Vivaan's body and leaves with his team.

As Prabal looks up from the screen, he sees that old woman right in front of him.

They get scared as hell to see her, and they start running from there. But suddenly a lot of people smeared in blood are coming towards them.

They look like zombies who are thirsty for their blood.

They are so panicked to see them coming that they collide with each other.

They don't even have the courage to get up and stand.

Then, that old woman comes and shakes her stick which makes all the zombies stop and turn to the other direction.

The old woman says in a shrieking voice, "I told you not to come here! I told you all to go back, but you didn't listen."

Now Prabal was sure about the fact that only the old woman can save them now.

So he begged in front of her and asked her about everything that was happening, and how to save themselves..

The old woman replies, "All this has been going on here for 200 years, and now you also have become a part of this."

"As far as escaping is concerned, you all are trapped here because of that girl, and now only she can save you.

Everyone will leave this village at night in order to save that girl from Salim Singh.

You also should leave along with them, or else Salim Singh won't spare you.

And make sure the crowd you leave with, is not able to know that you are different from them."

Prabal looked at the screen again to check where they were, and they got to know their exact location.

So, they disguised themselves as the villagers, and joined the crowd.

They started walking with the crowd and now Prabal was quite close to Zoya.

Then he suddenly noticed that there were tears in Zoya's eyes.

There was also a sense of shame on her face as if everyone was leaving the village because of her.

Suddenly, Prabal heard people's voices and he saw that Aditya had a mobile phone in his hand.

The villagers saw it and came to know that he was a crook or Salim Singh's spy.

The villagers started beating him. Before Prabal could do anything, Aditya killed himself, so that no one notices Prabal.

Prabal felt helpless watching his friend die in front of him. But as he saw the villagers moving forward, he ignored his feelings,

took a glance at Aditya, and entered the tunnel which was a way to get out of the village.

One by one, everyone was getting out of the village,

and they cursed that the place they were leaving, no one else would be able to settle there.

Everyone was getting out of the tunnel, but in reality only Prabal and Zoya came out.

As soon as Zoya came out, the spirit left her body, and she fainted.

As Prabal was trying to handle Zoya, he noticed the tunnel was closed with iron bars.

Prabal took Zoya and started leaving from there.

He was sad that he couldn't save Aditya's life. But, he never tried to save Vivaan

because he witnessed what Vivaan was trying to do with Zoya when she fainted.

He looked behind and saw that same old woman who again told him, "Don't ever come back to Kuldhara again."
