               Main lead: - Sachet and Navya
               Janki: - Sachet’s mother

               Sachet is an upcoming violinist in Coimbatore, who encounters an accident while a girl is lying

               in a pool of blood. He rushed her to the hospital with the help of a car driver and a couple.
               However, it is too late, the girl passes away holding his hand. Depressed by the whole episode,

               Sachet comes home with one of her slippers. He then drives around the city in his red car while
               helping homeless people, unable to come out of the depression due to the girl’s death.

               After the accident, strange things started happening at sachet’s apartment, he began to feel a

               supernatural presence at his house. The house is cleaned up even though he makes it messy and
               his bottle opener goes missing whenever he tries to drink beer. With the help of his friend, he

               employs a spiritual man to exorcise the ghost but he turns out to be a fraud. When Sachet’s
               mother, Janki, comes to visit him, she is hit by a drunk neighbour, who is abusing his wife. The

               neighbour is then attacked by a mysterious ghost. That day, Janaki meets with a freak accident
               in the bathroom and is saved by the ghost who alerts the neighbours. But sachet mistakes that

               the ghost had attacked his mother and threatens the ghost that he would kill himself and come

               as a ghost to take revenge on her. Many rituals of various religions were performed by sachet,
               but everything is proven futile and the ghost continues to stay.

               Sachet is assured that the ghost of the girl whose life he tried to save is behind all these strange
               things and goes in search of her family.  He finds that the girl's name is Navya and her father

               runs a local ice factory. Sachet confronts the father and asks him to cremate his daughter to

               save him from her ghost. Sachet brings the father to his apartment to show him the ghost, when
               his mother calls from the hospital to tell him that it was actually the ghost who has saved her

               life. Navya’s father then tries to see if the ghost is actually trying to protect Sachet. When the
               ghost appears as expected, her father begs her to come home with him, but she remains at the

               apartment. Sachet understands that Navya’s spirit will never harm him in any way.

               Realising that the only way Navya can rest in peace is by bringing her killer to face justice,
               sachet and his friends attempt to solve the mystery of her death themselves. They track down

               the auto driver that helped sachet save Navya and he tells them that he saw a green car driving
               away after the accident. Then they were able to track down a green car in a shady working area.

               The driver turns out to be a young man, the driver’s cousin, who was in the car that day tells



                                                                                                      155
