Plot
Raghava is a cameraman for the channel Green TV, where his crush Nandini works. He still has a fear of ghosts and lives with his mother. When Green TV drops to the second position in the ratings, Nandini advises shooting a horror program to bring their channel back to the first position. After the board members agree on this plan, Nandini decides on a location, Mahabalipuram, with a house near a beach with an intensely haunted look, without knowing that the house is haunted. She sets out with her crew: Raghava, his watchman Mayil, the boss's family doctor, Dr Prasad, two lighting technicians, Arnold and Aravind Swamy, and the show's anchor, Pooja, to complete the task.
While shooting on a nearby beach, Nandini discovers a Thali in the sand. After the discovery, mysterious events started taking place. The next day, when the group begins shooting at the house, they see a lunatic in rags running out and become scared. She decides to visit a sorcerer. The priest discovers that the Thali is haunted. He lets Nandini out of his room and returns the Thali to the spirit. Nandini does not seem to believe it, and the priest challenges her to check the place where she had taken it. After Nandini and Pooja disturb the Thali for a second time, it does not leave them and beats them up. She rushes to the sorcerer and helps her. As instructed by him, she prepares a coffin and a woman's corpse. They dress her like a bride, place Nandini's hair, clothes, and sand inside, and nail it shut. They move to a distance and shoot. They are shocked to see that the coffin splinters open. Subsequently, the dead woman gets dragged by the ghost.
All the members escape out of fear, and Raghava collapses. The priest gets killed, and the ghost possesses Nandini. Nandini talks to the Green TV Head about shifting to a different house. After, Raghava and Nandini move into another dwelling, where the haunted Nandini is planning something. To their surprise, Raghava's mother and Nandini's sister-in-law also came to stay there.
