Raw Punishment

K, a confident, narcissistic and arrogant businessman in his 30s, is addicted to smoking. K's friends, Abbas and the doctor, offer to set up an appointment at a rehabilitation centre called Prayogshaala (lit. 'Laboratory'), but K ignores their advice. His addiction strains his relationship with his wife Anjali. After K cannot make love to her without having to stop to light up a cigarette, she leaves him. K decides to check out Prayogshaala, and meets Shri Shri Prakash Guru Ghantal Baba Bangali Sealdah Wale there, the man running the rehabilitation centre. The method Prayogshaala uses to cure their patients is based on fear and psychological manipulation. Each time a patient gives in to their vice, Baba makes sure that something shocking happens to them, which includes: 1. Almost killing one of his loved ones, by keeping them in a chamber full of cigarette smoke he has smoked in his entire life for five minutes, 2. Cutting his finger, 3. Killing one of his loved ones, 4. Taking his soul. K is forced to pay for his treatment by Baba and his disciples. Baba then tells K that he is free to leave, but he must abide by the rules or he will suffer the consequences. K tries to keep to the terms but fails twice, and is punished. He is now conscious about the third time. After some time, K meets an old friend, Alex, who is now a Cuban cigar seller. At an event, K is forced to place a cigar in his mouth to appease Alex. Seconds later, he receives a phone call from the police, informing him that his wife is missing. He calls Baba, and is told that for smoking, his wife will be killed. He protests that he did not actually smoke and Baba apologizes for the mistake, but says that it is too late. K asks Baba to tell the police about this, but the line dies out, and the phone number is non-existent on dialling. K's protests are ignored and the police believe that he is delusional. Trying to make them believe, he seeks out Abbas, who had lost a finger, only to find that he has all of his fingers intact. Mocking him, the police forces K to smoke. Shortly afterwards, K gets a phone call about his brother committing suicide due to his chain-smoking. K raves angrily at the police and is thrown in jail, but is eventually bailed out. K learns that Baba permits smoking during a period known as 'Zero Minute'. He attends such an event, where he lights up a cigarette. Suddenly, K wakes up in a Russian army base with a call from his wife, and she asks him why he believes she is dead. Confused, K escapes from the base by jumping into the water and ends up in a ragged room, from which he sees himself staring out from a hospital room. He also sees his wife and Baba. He calls out but no one can hear him, and he is told that it is because his body no longer hears his inner soul. The final punishment is complete. K wakes up in his home, with Anjali sleeping beside him. When he goes to the bathroom, he finds out that he is missing two fingers. In a mid-credits scene, K, who has since gotten his finger back, is seen recommending Prayogshaala to a friend.
