Unfortunately, he read in the newspaper about the soul collector Fakeer. As a horror genre writer, he naturally was curious and wanted to know Fakeer’s story. When Madhav goes to meet Fakeer, his eyes were covered so that he could not use his powers. They make a deal in exchange for his story. Fakeer asks for a piece of wood from Madhav in exchange for telling his story. As Madhav kept on writing Fakeer’s story, Fakeer kept on carving a wooden doll from the piece of wood Madhav bought for him. Madhav wanted to take Jenny to the prison on Fakeer’s orders as Fakeer promised him to show his powers if he bought his granddaughter to the prison. Carol threatens to kill her own life if Madhav dare took her daughter to the prison. Madhav, after typing Fakeer’s life story, thinks that all of this is rubbish and tells the police officer to burn the pages he wrote. Madhav does exactly what Fakeer wanted him to do. The writer’s curiosity becomes Madhav’s ending. Madhav wanted to see if Fakeer comes back from dead as he claimed he would. So he asks Moses to bring his body inside his home after he is hanged.
