Plot

Aasif does not believe in ghosts. He lives with his wife Rashmi and his late brother’s son Shaan. They’re invited to Rashmi’s parents’ Ratna and Sachin’s house for their silver jubilee. Rashmi’s father disapproves of the couple as Rashmi, a Hindu, had eloped with Aasif, a Muslim, but her mother is kind to them. They meet Rashmi’s brother Deepak and his wife, Ashwini. Aasif and Shaan visit the grounds next door that are believed to be haunted. While he is putting stumps into the ground for a game of cricket, the stumps hit a buried body. Blood gets on the stumps but Aasif mistakes it for wet soil and washes it off into the house’s lemongrass plant.

Following this, Ratna, Ashwini, and Deepak all have supernatural experiences in the house. Following a priest’s instructions, they confirm that there is indeed a spirit present among them. Aasif makes lemongrass tea with the same plant he washed the blood in. When he drinks it, the ghost possesses him, and he begins to act effeminate, and goes on killing sprees at night, alerting the family, who now all accept Aasif, that something is wrong. It is revealed that three ghosts have kept him: a violent transgender woman, a Muslim man, and a mentally disabled boy. Aasif’s family hires an exorcist who drives the main spirit out of his body; trapped, the ghost reveals her story.

Laxman Sharma alias Laxmii was disowned by her parents as a child for being transgender. She is taken in by a kind Muslim named Abdul Chacha, who has a mentally disabled son. Regretting that she could not become a doctor because of her parents’ lack of support, Laxmii adopts another transgender girl named Geeta and works hard to support her financially. When Geeta leaves to study medicine abroad, Laxmi buys a plot of land to construct a hospital. The crooked MLA Girja unlawfully seizes her property. When Laxmii angrily confronts Girja and his wife, they brutally murder her, Abdul Chacha, and his son, and bury the bodies in Laxmii’s own land, the grounds that are now next door. Laxmii has already killed Girja’s henchmen while possessing Aasif earlier.

After hearing her story, Aasif is heartbroken at the lack of justice for her. Thus, he willingly lets her possess him once more to complete her revenge. Laxmi kills Girja’s wife and bodyguards but Girja seeks refuge in a Goddess Laxmi temple, which Laxmii cannot enter, being a ghost. However, Aasif, being human, can enter, and has Laxmii leave his body before forcibly dragging Girja out. Laxmii returns and finally kills Girja. Three months later, Aasif has constructed the hospital as per Laxmii’s dream. It is revealed that Laxmii now exists symbiotically in Aasif’s body to help him out when the need arises.
