The group runs away from them because they think that they are serial killers. After an intense chase, the group of friends camps at a river at night. After some chatting time, Lidi goes to check out the forest. After some distance walking, Lidi finds the two painters and she runs away until she trips and falls towards the ground and goes unconscious. The painters come there in time and see the girl, and they carry her and help her by bringing her with them. Eventually, another girl from the group watches the painters carrying Lidi. The girl they also found a dead person misunderstands and thinks that they are abducting Lidi. She runs back to the camp site and tells everyone about the incident. The boys go to look for Lidi but find the painters' jeep leaving with Lidi. The next morning, Lidi wakes up in the jeep, is shocked when she sees the painter, runs away, and again trips and falls. The painters again help her and tell her their real identity. Lidi is relieved and goes with the painters. The group of friends finds the house where Lidi was staying. The group thought that Lidi had joined the killers. They went to help her but lost two men. One ran away and got eaten by someone and the other one was hit by an axe.

The painter on the other side found another girl lying on the ground when they accidentally knocked her down with their jeep. They brought her with them. When they arrive at the house Vikram is confronting Lidi that the painters are killers. The rest of the group came to help the others who are inside the house.

Reception

''Times of India'' wrote "On the whole, the film, which is competently shot, might seem mildly interesting for those who haven't seen its Hollywood inspirations, but even then, it is a trip that needs to be taken with caution." ''Behindwoods'' wrote "Trip heavily misses out on engagement, but debut director Dennis Manjunath's uninhibited style of storytelling is fresh." ''Sify'' called it "a below average forest-based thriller".Avinash Ramachandran
o

wrote, "It is heavily inspired by famous slasher flicks like ''Tucker and Dale Vs Evil'', but director Dennis Manjunath disarms any criticism on this count by beginning the film with the famous Quentin Tarantino quote — “I steal from every movie ever made”"
