Kanchana

In a modest neighbourhood where everyday chores mingle with whispered superstitions, Raghava lives a life defined by an irrational dread of the unseen. His fear is so acute that he clings to his widowed mother Sarala’s side, refusing to stay alone after nightfall and even sharing a bedroom to keep the darkness at bay. Though unemployed, he finds joy in the simple rhythm of cricket, gathering friends for impromptu matches that momentarily lift the weight of his anxieties. A budding romance with Priya, the spirited younger sister of his sister‑in‑law, adds a tender counterpoint to his otherwise nervous existence, hinting at a future that could finally ease his apprehensions.

When construction forces the gang to abandon their usual playing field, they stumble upon a neglected plot of land long rumored to be haunted. The eerie ambience of the site, coupled with an unsettling shift in the weather, suggests that the ground holds secrets darker than its overgrown weeds. Unbeknownst to the group, the very act of setting up a makeshift pitch awakens something that begins to linger in Raghava’s home, turning ordinary creaks and cold drafts into a persistent sense of being watched. The family, uneasy but hopeful, turn to the familiar comfort of ritual, inviting priests to probe the unseen and restore peace.

As strange disturbances grow, Raghava finds himself behaving in ways that feel alien—his temperament softens, his gestures become oddly graceful, and the line between his personality and an unfamiliar presence blurs. The once‑lighthearted household is thrust into a delicate balance of love, fear, and curiosity, as relatives scramble to comprehend the nature of the intrusion while Sarala and Kamakshi cling to their protective instincts. The atmosphere swells with a mix of comic relief and creeping dread, inviting the audience to wonder how far the unseen will push a man already terrified of the night.

The film weaves a distinctive blend of horror and humor, using the familiar setting of a close‑knit family to explore larger questions about fear, identity, and the unseen forces that linger behind ordinary lives. Its tone oscillates between laugh‑inducing mishaps and spine‑tingling suspense, ensuring that each moment feels both relatable and oddly otherworldly. This delicate dance of emotions keeps viewers on edge, eager to see whether Raghava can unravel the mystery that haunts his home without surrendering the very humanity he cherishes.
