This timeline FAQ helps explain when key events happen, how moments connect, and why the story unfolds in that specific order.

Q1

Why does Prerna say all newborns die after being born in the house?

A.

Prerna explains that her father, the old man who lives in the house, has been sexually abusing her for years and forcing pregnancies. All the babies born from this abuse were killed by him immediately after birth, which is why she says newborns cry briefly and then die. She has learned to expect this horrific pattern as her cruel reality.

Earlier, Prerna mentions the house has four occupants but seems emotionally detached when discussing the baby's fate, hinting at her traumatic history.

Q2

Who is the old man to Prerna and why is he dangerous?

A.

The old man is Prerna's father. He has sexually abused Prerna for years, repeatedly impregnating her and killing every baby born from this abuse. He maintains control through manipulation and violence, creating an environment of terror within the household.

The initial census visit shows Prerna appearing emotionally distant when discussing the house's occupants, suggesting a deeper, unspoken trauma.

Q3

Why were Anuja and Neha captured in the house?

A.

The grandmother signaled to the old man that the two women had ventured out at night, confirming they were trying to escape. This triggered the old man and Bhola to seize the women and hold them captive in the basement. The grandmother actively participated in the household's cycle of abuse and control.

Earlier, the women notice the old man sneaking to the shed at night and discover a bloodied chained man, clear signs the house harbors dark secrets.

Q4

What happens to Neha while she is held captive?

A.

During the second capture, Neha is separated from Anuja and raped by Bhola. The trauma is so severe that she attempts suicide afterward. She later receives help from Prerna and manages to escape, eventually participating in killing the old man and grandmother.

The women were separated into different rooms after recapture, which isolates them and enables Bhola's assault on Neha.

Q5

How does Anuja manage to escape from the house?

A.

When Anuja and Neha are recaptured and separated, Anuja uses the chaos and confusion to her advantage. She sets fire to one of the huts, creating disruption.

The women had previously discovered the chained bloodied man in the shed, confirming the house's danger and giving Anuja reason to fight desperately for freedom.

Q6

Why does Prerna help Neha escape?

A.

Prerna helps Neha escape because she wants to break free from her father's years of sexual abuse and control. Though complicit in the household's operations due to manipulation, Prerna ultimately chooses to assist the victims in hopes of ending her own nightmare. Her action marks the beginning of her resistance against her father.

Prerna initially appears resigned to her fate but gradually shows willingness to defy her father by warning Neha about the danger.

Q7

What do Anuja and Neha find in the shed?

Q8

What happens to Bhola at the end of the movie?

A.

When the old man orders Bhola to kill Anuja, she fights back and stabs him. She then leaves him wounded in the forest, where he is devoured by wolves. This acts as both survival and poetic justice for his crimes.

Bhola was established as the cook and loyal accomplice to the old man, referred to as 'bhayya' (brother), making his fate a consequence of the household's violence.

Q9

Why does Neha kill the grandmother with a sickle?

A.

Neha kills the grandmother with a sickle during the final confrontation because the grandmother has been complicit in the years of abuse and control. She enabled the old man's actions, signaled when to capture the women, and participated in maintaining the household's cycle of violence against Prerna and other victims.

The grandmother was the one who informed the old man that Anuja and Neha had tried to escape at night, directly leading to their captivity.

Their whispered exchange at night reveals a close, conspiratorial bond that predates the events seen in the film.

Q12

Why do Anuja and Neha return to confront the old man?

A.
