They confront Sarkata and sever his head but each dismembered part forms a new Sarkata and creates terror. Bhaskar comes to their rescue but they are still overwhelmed by Sarkata. Having no choice, the woman calls for Stree, who is revealed to be her mother. Stree arrives and presumably kills him by dragging Sarkata into lava, releasing the abducted women and disenchanting the men of Chanderi.

She finally whispers her name in Vicky's ears and promises to meet again.
