Premise
The series is set in the fictional village of Aravangad, where Sub-Inspector Vishnu, an ambivalent and "cowardly" police officer with a mysterious past, is transferred to a local police station. The police station is forced to move its operations to an abandoned, dilapidated government property known as the "Inspection Bungalow," which is widely believed to be haunted.
What starts as a mundane relocation quickly devolves into a series of bizarre crimes, ghostly occurrences, and supernatural events. Vishnu, along with the assistance of Mythili, a paranormal researcher played by Aadhya Prasad, attempts to uncover the secrets and mysteries buried within the bungalow's walls. The narrative blends elements of suspense and horror with situational comedy and fantasy.
The series was written by Suneesh Varanaad and directed by Saiju S.S.[5] The trailer was officially released by Malayalam actor Dileep on November 4, 2025. It premiered on the streaming platform ZEE5 on November 14, 2025.[6]
