Spoilers ahead

On the edge of a quiet village, a curious boy named Shyam stumbles upon an old, abandoned lighthouse near the outskirts, a place the locals avoid because of whispers of a haunting. The lighthouse sits like a beacon of secrets, its weathered stairs and salt-dried walls telling stories of forgotten days. Drawn by a mix of courage and teenage impulse, Shyam steps inside and unknowingly awakens a friendly spirit who lingers there, a ghost affectionately known as Bhoot Unkle. The ghost, Jackie Shroff brings a warm, almost mischievous presence to the otherwise eerie silence, revealing himself as the soul of a kind man who was betrayed and killed under murky, unresolved circumstances.
