Plot

Two decades after Sardar Jagtap (Vasant Ingle) passed away, his lawyer, Pradhan (Shriram Lagoo), finally went to Sardar's house to read his will. The house had been taken care of by the loyal servant, Ramsharan (Nilu Phule), who stayed there all these years. Pradhan was waiting for Sardar's family members, aged between 20 and 30, to arrive.

When everyone was there, Pradhan started reading the will, which was in three envelopes. The second envelope revealed that Padma (Ashwini Bhave) would be the owner of everything. Pradhan didn't bother opening the third envelope because Padma seemed perfectly normal.

But then, weird things started happening in the house. Ramsharan said he saw the spirit of Sardar's dead son Shekhar (Ashutosh Gowariker), and the night became stranger. Pradhan even disappeared, and another mysterious figure joined the spooky happenings. The whole night turned into a spooky and confusing experience for everyone left in the house.
