Someone says Muhnochwa is a human-eater animal. Someone says Muhnochwa is a ghost or monster. Someone says he has seen Muhnochwa. Someone says he has fought with Muhnochwa. But none knows the truth that who the hell is Muhnochwa? From where does he come? And where does he go? Due to Muhnochwa, air of fear and suspiciousness is there in the village. Villagers avoid going out after Sunset. They doubt on each other whether he is Muhnochwa? Police is helpless because they still couldn’t catch Muhnochwa. Day by day villagers’ fear is increasing… But there was a person in the village who was unafraid of Muhnochwa. He was drinker Sadanand. He remains intoxicated 24 hours. In fact Sadanand is happy with Muhnochwa because due to Muhnochwa, he is getting his wine easily. If some villager has some urgent work outside in night, he sends Sadanand or takes Sadanand with him. And in back Sadanand gets wine. Thus Sadanand was taking benefit from Muhnochwa. But there were some more peoples, who were taking benefit of Muhnochwa. Like Pandit Sahiram; He was afraid of Muhnochwa, but sells ‘Muhnochwa safety amulet’ to innocent villagers. Like moneylender Dukhiram; He begins to take double interest on given loan as ‘Muhnochwa risk tax’ saying that if the person is killed by Muhnochwa, then his money will be lost. Local thug Gulathi and Lukathi begin to plunder peoples by appearing in Muhnochwa’s getup. Police station in-charge Sherkhan too begins to take benefit of Muhnochwa. Sherkhan is too much scared of Muhnochwa. Brave constable Madhaw tries to encourage him. But Sherkhan exits police station in the name of catching Muhnochwa and comes to village with Madhaw. And he starts troubling villagers by demanding chicken, mutton, wine and money saying that he will free them from Muhnochwa’s terror. Madhaw heartily wants to catch Muhnochwa. But Sherkhan doesn’t allow him to go because Muhnochwa can kill sharekhan in alone. Shivanand 10 years old boy Aditya was in the crowd at that moment. Shivanand’s words had set fire inside him too. Aditya picked a stone and hit the police officer. To see this small rebellion, smile had appeared on Shivanand’s bleeding lips. Shivanand says that he won’t commit the mistake again, what he had committed 15 years back. He will fight his battle, he will continue his mission, but this time he won’t become the hero, he will make the citizens heroes. If there is one hero, he can be ruined easily. But if all citizens become the hero, then none can defeat them. The Truth Sometimes, when he sits for meditation, he feels that something reaches on the back part of his brain by passing through his back bone from lower end and suddenly he feels a flow of some peculiar energy in to his whole body and his flowing existence towards meditation just returns back with a great frustration. Antas Till now Antas had reformed innumerous thieves, goons, loafers, pickpockets, murderers, terrorists… Till now Antas had reformed innumerous corrupt police officers, corrupt public servants and corrupt politicians… and had made them honest, dutiful and loyal to country. Antas’ hypnotism was so wonderful that if once someone comes in his clutch; it was quite impossible for him or her to return without reformation! And it was the reason that criminals, corrupt officers and corrupt politicians were scared even of Antas’ shadow! Because they were fearful that if once Antas got the chance to hypnotize them, he will reform them. And nobody wants to get reformed! U R MINE…! Joy fears from a lizard but if there is a danger on Julie, he can fight with dinosaur. He can’t go alone in darkness but for Julie he can visit the graveyard in no-moon night. He can’t face the local baddy but for Julie he can challenge mafia. Yes, he loves Julie… He keeps trying to express his love to Julie but fails. And Julie, she uses to call Joy ‘Gogo’. …Buka can’t face the power of monks. And so is with Joy. Buka says to Joy –‘I know that you want to rescue Julie from Monks because you love her. And you know that I want to rescue Julie from Monks so that I would take her to jungle and would murder her for my beloved Maya… Later you can try to rescue Julie’s life from me, but our initial mission is one –‘to rescue Julie from monks’. We can’t do it individually because being a ghost, I have limitations, and being a human, you have limitations. But if we are together, we can do it.’ Joy agrees.
