Kahaani

Kahaani (IPA: [kəˈɦaːni]; "Story") is a 2012 Indian Hindi mystery thriller film co written, co produced and directed by Sujoy Ghosh. It stars Vidya Balan as Vidya Bagchi, a pregnant woman searching for her missing husband in Kolkata during the festival of Durga Puja, assisted by Satyoki "Rana" Sinha (Parambrata Chatterjee) and Khan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui).

Made on a shoestring budget of 80 million (US$1.2 million),Kahaani was conceived and developed by Ghosh, who co-wrote the film with Advaita Kala. The crew often employed guerrilla-filmmaking techniques on Kolkata's city streets to avoid attracting attention. The film was noted for its deft portrayal of the city and for making use of many local crew and cast members. Kahaani explores themes of feminism and motherhood in male-dominated Indian society. The film also makes several allusions to Satyajit Ray's films such as Charulata (1964) and Aranyer Dinratri (1970).

Kahaani was released worldwide on 9 March 2012. Critics praised the screenplay, the cinematography and the performances of the lead actors. Following critical acclaim and word-of-mouth publicity, the film earned 1.04 billion (US$15 million) worldwide in 50 days. The film won several awards, including three National Film Awards and five Filmfare Awards. The latter included trophies for Best Director (Ghosh) and Best Actress (Vidya).

Murder

by: Gehenna

Thought you were indestructible
But now you have lost all control
Before this night is over
You will feel the power
Of my knife carving away at your gut
The blood gushes
Your life is fading
No remores in these eyes
Only the wish for you to die
I cause you pain
I murder
You stare with terror in your eyes
Beholding the instrument of your
Imminent demise
You stare in disbelief
You shiver with fear
Begging for your life
As your untimely death
Draws near
No remores in these eyes
Only the wish for you to die
I cause you pain
