Boo: What happens at the end?
The plot of Boo centers on Kiara and her friends as they celebrate Halloween and come across a strange book titled “Halloween Stories.”Despite the book’s warning to read all the chapters without stopping, they embark on a journey into its ghostly tales. As they go deeper, they find themselves meeting the characters from the stories in real life.
After facing several unsettling twists from the book in real life, Kaira revealed that it was a prank for her friends. Her servants were pretending to be ghosts to create a frightening and immersive experience for the Halloween party. The next morning, Kaira woke up to the sound of her doorbell ringing where she was greeted by her servants. One of the servants revealed that they never actually come to her house the previous night for the prank. They informed her that she was the one who had called and canceled the plans.
So, when she went to check her phone, she discovered that not only were her friends’ phones missing, but she also had 89 missed calls from her friend Riya. Following Riya’s request, Kaira turned on the news and realized that her friends – Kavya, Aruna, and Rithika – were killed in a tragic accident. The CCTV footage showed Kaira alone in the house, seemingly playing by herself, at the time of the accident.
Towards the end of Boo, Kaira was seen trying to cope with the grief of her friends’ deaths. To help her move on and heal, her mother insisted that she meet a potential suitor arranged by her father.
Kaira finally met the mysterious suitor, but she found him a bit too familiar. So, when he introduced himself as Akash, the paranormal scientist, she realised he was similar to the character from the final chapter.
Were Kaira’s fears real?
There are endless possibilities of how Kaira found herself in this situation. Her encounter with the Ouija board could be the reason as she must’ve unknowingly opened a doorway to the supernatural. Also, her deep immersion in the supernatural world could have influenced her friends’ actions.
Another possibility is that the paranormal might have consumed Kaira’s mind. She had started hallucinating, which blurred the boundaries between reality and fiction for her. Her intense belief in the supernatural could have manifested itself in the form of ghostly appearances.
A third possibility is that Akash, the mysterious suitor, had a connection to one of Kaira’s friends. One of them could’ve encountered a fate similar to Meera’s in the book’s final chapter. While Akash may not have ill intentions towards Kaira, she was still concerned. The book’s supernatural elements could have seeped into Kaira’s world.
So, it is understandable that the events throughout Boo were nothing but extraordinary coincidences, with no direct connection between the book and Kaira’s friends’ deaths. However, without any evidence, each theory remains speculative. Boo is now streaming on JioCinema.
