Very interesting. I saw a brother of this live in Laos in 2012, so happy to see this, although just the image.
This is either Cyrtosia nana or Cyrtosia javanica, both of which are known from India and are of smaller size like this.  
I need to see a better pic.
If I have to guess this could be Cyrtosia nana (owing to the widely open flower that i can see in one of the image), but cant confirm.
The seeds of this are supposed to be dispersed by birds in Japan and I assume it applies in India too.
Very interesting plant.
Thanks and regards
Pankaj

Cyrtosia javanica or C. nana. Not easy to make out from these pics, both are found in north east.
If I have to guess owing to faint colour of fruit i would say Cyrtosia javanica. But cant confirm.
