Plot

The story begins with a beautiful woman being manhandled by some goons outside a local cemetery. The goons are interrupted by a police inspector played by Inspector Vijay. Since Vijay is not in his police uniform, the goons take him for a nerd and try to scare him away from the scene. Mithun beats them up and saves the girl. The girl has no relatives and is new in the town. Vijay and Renu come along on the same note and begin dating each other. Soon they decide to get married and settle down. It's not very long when Vijay is transferred to another town (Mangalpur?). Promising his newly wed wife a quick reunion at Mangalpur, Mithun leaves for his destination. A few days later, Renu receives a telegram from Mangalpur. Vijay has asked her to come to Mangalpur all by herself. Renu takes a bold decision of going to Mangalpur. Upon her arrival, she finds that Mangalpur is a desolate town with strange people. She decides to continue her further journey by foot, but ends up at a large wilderness where a strange tanga is waiting for her. Bewildered by the reigning silence of the wilderness, Renu decides to board the tanga, but goes helpless when the tanga takes her to a creepy grove, where she is murdered. When Vijay learns of her arrival and later death, he decides to investigate the matter. Renu's corpse is devoid of blood and this looks strange to Vijay. With permission from his superiors, Vijay begins to look for the clues. His investigation ultimately leads him to the deranged family of Thakur, who with his brothers lives a secretive life. They say that those who try to sneak into his Haveli are never seen again. Whenever Thakur or his family members are out on the streets, they are barked at and chased by the street dogs. Something is seriously different about this family that happens to have a plan of exploiting their victims for a common, but highly sinister cause. They are vampires thriving on human blood.
