Q1

Why did Raghavan steal the necklace from Demonte Colony?

Raghavan admits he stole the cursed diamond necklace from Demonte Colony to finance his own project. This personal theft directly connects him to the curse, explaining why the vengeful spirit targets him specifically during the Ouija board session.

  • necklace
  • theft
  • curse
  • john demonte
Q2

How did Sajith die if he returned with the friends?

Sajith actually died during the mansion exploration itself, though he appeared to return with the group. The Ouija board reveals he had already died the previous night. He was a ghost moving among his friends throughout the film, which explains his strange behavior and why he later carries the necklace back to the mansion.

Foreshadowing: The astrologer's reading for Sajith was incomplete, and the planchette ominously pointed toward Raghavan during the Ouija session.

  • sajith
  • death
  • ghost
  • ouija
  • mansion
Q3

What is the story behind John Demonte and the cursed necklace?

John Demonte, a Portuguese businessman, owned the estate and wanted to gift his wife a precious necklace. After she spiraled into madness due to being raped and becoming pregnant, Demonte murdered all his servants in rage. A fire erupted, killing Demonte and others. The locals say a curse binds the diamond necklace to the colony, anyone who tries to steal it will be killed, and the necklace always returns.

Foreshadowing: The friends encounter ritual-like experiences inside the mansion, hinting at the violent past.

  • john demonte
  • curse
  • necklace
  • fire
  • servants
Q4

Why did the astrologer die after contacting Srini?

The astrologer called Srini with urgent information but died before he could deliver it. When Srini plays the recording later, it reveals that Sajith had already died the previous night. This suggests the astrologer was killed by the curse for attempting to reveal its secrets to the friends.

Foreshadowing: Two friends had their thumbs read, which created a personal link to the supernatural warnings.

  • astrologer
  • death
  • srini
  • phone call
  • warning
Q5

How did the curse follow the friends to their apartment?

When the friends entered the mansion and interacted with its spaces, they unknowingly brought the curse with them. Raghavan's theft of the necklace made him the primary target. The supernatural disturbances began in their apartment, the TV playing their own conversations, power cuts, and the cold temperatures, showing the curse had crossed from the mansion to their living space.

Foreshadowing: Each friend had a spine-tingling encounter while inside the mansion, marking them all.

  • curse
  • apartment
  • haunting
  • supernatural
  • raghavan
Q6

How did Vimal die on the TV broadcast?

The TV broadcast showed Vimal dying in a violent manner that mirrored the original tragedy at Demonte Colony, when John Demonte murdered his servants. The curse rewrote their fates in real-time, displaying their deaths on screen as they happened, connecting the past violence to the present victims.

Foreshadowing: The Ouija board predicted none of them would survive the night.

  • vimal
  • death
  • tv
  • broadcast
  • murder
Q7

Why did the Ouija board point to Raghavan?

The planchette moved toward Raghavan because he was the one who stole the cursed necklace. His theft created a personal debt to the vengeful spirit, making him the primary target. His voice fading into static during the session confirmed the spirit was tormenting him specifically.

Foreshadowing: Raghavan's confession about stealing the necklace directly preceded the intensified haunting.

  • ouija
  • raghavan
  • planchette
  • curse
  • spirit
Q8

How did Srini become a ghost?

After the spirit overtakes Srini in the freezing cold apartment, he discovers a hidden doorway leading outside. He reaches a teashop but realizes no one can hear him, proving he has died and become a ghost like Sajith. His attempt to escape failed because the curse had already claimed him.

Foreshadowing: The room grew extremely cold, and the area where a god once resided seemed to be the key to escape.

  • srini
  • ghost
  • escape
  • curse
  • teashop
Q9

Why did the necklace return to Demonte Colony at the end?

The curse ensures the diamond necklace always returns to Demonte Colony. Sajith, who was already dead, carries the necklace back into the mansion, completing the cycle. This closes the loop: whoever steals the necklace dies, and the treasure remains bound to the cursed place forever.

Foreshadowing: Raghavan wrote a chilling message on the TV predicting Demonte's deadly return.

  • necklace
  • sajith
  • return
  • curse
  • demonte colony
Q10

Why couldn't the friends escape the apartment?

The curse created a supernatural barrier preventing their escape. Doors and windows refused to open, cries for help never reached beyond their room, and even electricity board attempts failed. The spirit wanted them to stay until their fates were fulfilled, just like the servants who were trapped and killed in the original mansion.

Foreshadowing: The storyteller's voice revealed how Demonte trapped his servants before murdering them.

  • escape
  • apartment
  • doors
  • windows
  • trap
Q11

What happened when the Ouija board burned?

As the Ouija board burned, Sajith stirred and feigned ignorance, pretending to wake up and go back to sleep. This revealed his true nature as a ghost who was already dead. The burning marked the point where the friends fully realized the supernatural threat was among them.

Foreshadowing: The Ouija board had already revealed Sajith died the previous night.

  • ouija
  • sajith
  • burning
  • ghost
  • death
Q12

What triggered the supernatural events in the apartment?

The events began after Raghavan revealed his theft of the necklace. The moment he confessed, eerie phenomena invaded the apartment, TV flickering with their own conversations, unexplained power cuts, and freezing temperatures. His personal connection to the stolen treasure activated the curse's full power.

Foreshadowing: Raghavan's thumb reading at the astrologer's hinted at his future.

  • supernatural
  • apartment
  • raghavan
  • confession
  • necklace
