Synopsis

Siddharth (Shiney Ahuja) returns to his hometown in the interiors of India with his newly wed wife Avni (Vidya Balan).

His large extended family heartily welcomes him back but is very perturbed by his insistences on staying his royal ancestral mansion because they believe that the mansion holds a dark and deadly secret that for generation had caused ruin in the family.

The scientifically inclined Siddharth and his wife Avni brush aside the concerns of the family. However, very soon they are confronted with inexplicable and dangerous happenings in the mansion.

At his wits end, Siddharth turns to his dynamic Doctor friend Aditya (Akshay Kumar) for help. A determined Aditya doggedly investigates and grapples with the mysterious happenings in order to sift reality from myth. He eventually discovers that nothing is what it seems and what seems and the devastating reality is enough to shatter all truth.
