Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: No markdown, asterisks, headings, or bullet points.
Constraint 4: Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Constraint 5: Word count target: 280-380 words.

Series Info: Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot (2026), TV-MA, Comedy. Alisha is the protagonist, rooted in logic and science.
Characters: Giri, Alisha, Tapish.
Key Objects/Locations: Rakshapal statue, medical slip, abandoned theatre.
Plot Points:
1. Alisha seeks answers about the Rakshapal statue.
2. Giri warns Alisha.
3. A medical slip reveals Tapish's old treatment.
4. Alisha hears voices inside an abandoned theatre.
The synopsis is extremely brief (only three sentences).
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Conflict: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding "fluff" that violates the "no inventing/guessing" and "only verifiable facts" rules.
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided in the sources (the series premise) while strictly adhering to the synopsis. I will describe the series context and then detail the specific events of the episode. However, even with the series context, reaching 280 words using only these facts is mathematically difficult without being repetitive.
