Scene 1: Harsha's Nightmare
Harsha wakes up and finds himself in a place engulfed in total darkness. He starts panicking, unable to understand where he is or what's happening.
He shouts,
"Is anyone there? Joel, are you here? Where am I? Excuse me?! Is anyone here?!"
Suddenly, the sound of a swarm of bats fills the air, and they rush past him. Harsha finds himself teleported to a strange and eerie place. When he looks ahead, several shadowy figures appear. They quickly surround him and forcefully cover his face with a black cloth, making it impossible for him to see anything.

Scene 2: Jaideep's Nightmare
Jaideep opens his eyes and finds himself standing at his home. Confused, he looks around. Then, he hears the sound of someone crying. He follows the noise and sees a boy being beaten with a belt by an older boy. The younger boy cries out,
"Please don't hit me! I'm your little brother! Please stop!"
The older boy angrily replies,
"Yes, you are my brother. But a step-brother…"
He continues whipping the younger boy with the belt. Horrified, Jaideep rushes forward to help — and suddenly realizes the younger boy is none other than himself at age six. When he looks up at the older boy, he recognizes his stepbrother Aditya, who was thirteen at the time.
The young Jaideep cries out,
"But why are you hurting me?! What did I do?"
Aditya coldly responds,
"I'm angry. That's why I'm hitting you. And every time I get angry, I'll hit you again."

"Fill this bag with all the money or I'll shoot every one of you — starting with this lovely little girl!"
He fires his gun into the air. Everyone ducks in fear. Khwaish's dad starts crying and begs the robber to release his daughter. But the robber kicks him away.
The bank staff quickly fill the bag with money. As police sirens wail outside, the robber grabs Khwaish to escape. She screams,
"Dad! Daddy! Please save me!"

Scene 4: Sahil's Nightmare
Sahil opens his eyes and sees Yamraj, the god of death, standing in front of him.
Yamraj says,
"I've come to take you with me."
Terrified, Sahil tries to run, but his legs won't move. Crying, he begs,
"Please let me go. I'm just a kid! Take my grandma instead—she can't even walk anymore! Please let me go!"
Yamraj replies,
"Let's play a game. If you win, you live. If you lose, you die."
Sahil refuses, saying,
"You play it yourself! I want to go to my mom! Mooooooom!"
Yamraj growls,
"You have no choice. Play or die."
Sahil, trembling, asks,
"Isn't there a third option?"
Yamraj warns him,
"If you say one more word, I'll kill your mom and dad too."
Sahil goes silent instantly. Yamraj asks,
"Do you want to play the death game? Answer me!"
Sahil remains quiet. Enraged, Yamraj slashes Sahil's shoulder with a knife and roars,
"WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING?!"
Sahil screams in pain,
"Ahhhhhh! Okay! I'll play! I'll play! I'll die anyway if I don't!"
Yamraj explains,
"There's a gun on the table. It contains seven bullets: six pink (life) and one black (death). If you shoot a pink, you live. If you shoot a black, you die. And if you fail to shoot at all... you know what happens to your parents."
He holds the bullets while Sahil nervously watches.
Sahil jokes,
"Excuse me, sir... maybe you forgot your glasses? There's no gun on the table."
Just then, a gun magically appears. Shocked, Sahil pinches himself and realizes it's not a dream.
Yamraj warns,
"Mock me again and your parents die."
Suddenly, Sahil's mom and dad appear in front of him. Yamraj waves his hand, and they start suffocating. Panicked, Sahil pleads,
"Okay! I'll do what you say! Just don't hurt them!"
Yamraj hands him the gun and loads it: ask him to shoot himself if a black bullet hit him he dies but if pink bullet hit him he will survive.
"Six pink bullets. One black. Let fate decide."
Sahil thinks of a clever trick —
"What if I fire the bullets into the air first, hoping the black bullet comes out early, and only pink ones are left when I point it at my head?"
He starts shooting into the air:
1st bullet — pink
2nd — pink
3rd — pink
4th — pink
After 4th bullet sahil got panicked in anger and decided to shoot himself with 5th bullet.
Right before firing the 5th bullet at his head, Yamraj warns him:
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that. What if this is the black bullet? You'd be finished."
Sahil glares at him with anger, raises the gun to his head, and fires.
Two bullets fire out one after the other—both pink.
Yamraj begins to laugh wickedly and says,
"Well, now what will you do?"
