Spoilers ahead

Nayaki centers on the lingering soul of a woman named Gayathri, a presence haunting a village since the 1980s. The area is effectively shut off by the Government of India because locals keep vanishing while touring the village, and the mystery of why this spirit has clung to the place for over three decades drives the film. The setting builds an atmosphere of quiet fear, as villagers exchange whispered legends about unseen watchers and unexplained occurrences that occur after sunset.
