Plot



Karthik (Ashiq Ameer), Aru (Meera Nair), Jenny (Kalyani Vidya) and Hari (Balaji Jayarajan) are four friends. Karthik plans on making a documentary on Alzheimer's and visits Alex (Dain Davis) for the same. All five of them go to Karthik's old teacher's tharavadu for the shooting. Karthik's teacher Malathi teacher (Gautami) and her daughter Athira (Nitya Naresh) live a traditional life with temple, music and yoga. Also Athira was Karthik's childhood sweetheart. Malathi teacher has Alzheimer's and is supported by Athira. But after some days of their arrival, they start facing paranormal activities and understand that Malathi teacher is possessed by a spirit named Bhargavan. Jenny receives a book from a box in which a symbol is present. Athira realizes that the symbol is present on the back of her neck and shows it to Karthik proving that she was the third girl who was to be sacrificed by Bhargavan for the process of immortality since the symbol will only be present on the third girl to be sacrificed meaning the first two girls were killed. Then they understand that Bhargavan was killed by Malathi teacher for hypnotizing Athira and trying to sacrifice her in her childhood. To remove Bhargavan's spirit from Malathi they had to find Bhargavan's bones and had to destroy it in fire before Pournami night which was the very same day. They find the bones with the help of Anna's (Elsamma's daughter) paintings. But Bhargavan(Malathi) hypnotizes Anna and brings her for the sacrifice. Before Anna gets killed Karthik burns his bones thus destroying Bhargavan's spirit. The film ends by showing Karthik, Aru, Jenny, Hari and Alex leaving when Malathi teacher asks about when they are going to come again to the tharavadu for the completing the shooting to which Aru replies that they will surely return looking at Karthik and Athira meaning that they have fallen in love.
