Spoilers ahead

Long-time lovers Mohini, [Poorna], and Harsha, [Harshvardhan Rane], marry and move into a newly bought house in a quiet, close-knit community where Harsha’s parents come to stay for a few days to oversee the rituals and ensure the marriage is not consummated before the auspicious time. Initially, the house feels welcoming, almost warm, but an unseen presence lurks within its corners. A voyeuristic spirit seems to drift through walls and hallways, and it becomes obsessed with Mohini, watching her with an unsettling, relentless curiosity as she changes clothes and takes showers. The atmosphere grows tense, and a sense of being constantly observed begins to gnaw at Mohini’s comfort, turning the home she thought would be a sanctuary into something almost accusatory and unnerving.
