Synopsis

After 8 years of marriage, the life of a married couple turns upside down when the wife begins to exhibit alarming behaviour. Her husband tries to find out whether she suffers from a personality disorder or something more sinister. [5]

Sharad and Kussum Abhyankar are a loving couple married for 8 years, and both partners are successful. However, the couple has been childless and Kussum has been complaining of excruciating stomachaches from time to time for the past 8 years.

Eventually, Sharad discovers that Kussum is being possessed by the spectre of Savita Damodar Paranjpe. Flashbacks reveal that Sharad and Savita were great friends. Savita used to flirt with Sharad, but he didn't take it seriously. Sharad fell in love with Savita's best friend Kussum and their parents consented to the marriage. Savita was unable to accept this turn of events and her love for Sharad transformed into an obsession. Sharad vehemently spurned Savita's advances and she immolated herself. Sharad silently blamed himself for Savita's death and since then, remained slightly distant from Kussum, leaving her sexually frustrated.

It is revealed that Kussum's miscarriages are caused by Savita. While possessing Kussum, Savita expressed her desire to sleep with Sharad's friend, Ashok, to sow discord in Sharad's marriage. Kussum, Ashok, and Sharad oppose this. Devastated on learning the whole truth, Kussum decides to immolate herself to end the misery. However, Sharad prevents her and tells Savita that although he acknowledges her love, she must respect his marriage to Kussum. Savita leaves Kussum and everyone rejoices. However, Sharad is suspicious that Savita would give up so easily. The movie ends with Sharad discovering that Savita has possessed his younger sister Neetu, and his troubles are far from over.
