The first story is about a young film-buff named Satish (Manoj Pahwa), living with his mother. Satish has an habit of watching an Bollywood movie in theaters every friday, on the last show of the day. He decides to watch the film Darna Mana Hai. His mother warns him not to take the graveyard shortcut because it's Friday the 13th, a no moon night, and witches might appear. He insults his mother, and takes the shortcut. He safely arrives at the cinema, buys his regular snacks, gets some change back, watches the movie and returns home. On his return, he once again uses the graveyard shortcut. Walking through the graveyard, he hears clinging footsteps and begins to run. He sees an witch and falls to the ground in terror. His fear leads to his death, and it turns out the footsteps were actually the change coins jingling in his pocket as he walked. And the witch he saw was actually a poster for an movie. That movie was the upcoming sequel to the film he watched in cinema.
