The Sharma family re-locate to a semi-urban locality in a house that has a "reputation". The Sharma family consists of Mr. Sharma, his wife Shalini Sharma, only daughter Manisha Sharma or "Mini" as they affectionately call her; and their grandchild Bunty, as his parents had been killed in an accident. Strange things start happening, with a return of a dead kitten, and the brutal murder of Manisha's friend, Reshmi; an attempt to kill Mr. Sharma and Manisha's boyfriend, Deepak. What is the force behind these brutalities? Is it natural or supernatural?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
RGV made this after Bhoot and before Satya, proving horror could be 'prestige' in Bollywood without songs or stars dominating.
The cat resurrection scene used practical effects so convincing that animal rights groups initially investigated the production.
