Raghava is a careful cameraman for Green TV who still carries a childhood fear of ghosts and shares a small, affectionate home with his mother. His professional life takes a hit when Green TV slides from first place to a disappointing second, and the only spark of hope comes from a bold plan proposed by his colleague and crush, Nandini. To turn the tides, she pitches a high-stakes horror project designed to draw in viewers and reclaim the top slot. After the board agrees, Nandini logistics an expedition to Mahabalipuram, selecting a house perched by a beach that looks more haunted than humanly possible. The location becomes a character in its own right—the kind of place that makes the air feel heavier, the waves louder, and the sense of foreboding almost tangible.
The crew assembled for the shoot includes the steady presence of Mayil, the watchman who keeps a wary eye on every creak and shadow; the boss’s family doctor, Dr Prasad, who tries to stay practical amid escalating unease; and the show's anchor, Pooja, whose on-camera calm belies the creeping tension inside the house. The two lighting technicians do their best to illuminate a place that seems to resist even the best equipment, while the atmosphere of the house grows increasingly claustrophobic. As the team begins filming near the shoreline, Nandini makes a disquieting discovery—a nuptial chain half-buried in the sand, an old token that seems to carry a stubborn, old sorrow. From that moment on, strange events begin to unfold with escalating intensity, brushing the line between the living and the dead.
When they move the shoot to the haunted house itself, the group catches sight of a lunatic figure in ragged clothes sprinting through the yard, a sight that sends everyone into a hush of fear. Nandini decides to seek help from a local sorcerer, and the priest who appears to him confirms a troubling truth: the nuptial chain is haunted by a restless spirit. He warns her to stop disturbing the relic, and insists on returning the chain to its rightful resting place. Yet curiosity—and perhaps a stubborn determination to grab a ratings boost—drives Nandini to press forward, disturbing the chain a second time. The chain retaliates, beating them and refusing to yield, forcing the crew to confront a reality far beyond their understanding.
Desperate, they turn to the sorcerer once more, who guides them through a grim ritual: constructing a coffin that holds a corpse dressed as a bride, and then nail it shut. The plan is to create distance between the living and the haunting, but the coffin shatters open, and the dead bride is pulled away by an unseen force. Panic erupts as the ghostly presence asserts itself, and the team bolts for safety. The priest is killed in the ensuing chaos, and the house seems to move with a life of its own. The spirit then possesses Nandini, causing her to act with a cold, unnatural certainty that unsettles even the most seasoned professionals. The film crew narrowly escapes with their lives as the haunting tightens its grip.
Shaken but determined, Raghava and Nandini relocate to another dwelling, hoping the change of scenery will blunt the malevolent force. Yet the disturbance follows them, touching even the most ordinary moments with a chill. The haunting becomes personal as Nandini’s behavior shifts—she begins to smoke at night and mutters the name Shiva under her breath. The possession deepens, and the ghost drags its grip toward Raghava as well. The tension culminates in a confrontation that pushes the entire group toward a church, where a desperate struggle between living and spirit culminates in a violent, nightmarish sequence. The escape from the church ends with a sharp, painful truth—the pair must reveal their full backstory to understand why the spirits have chosen them.
Backstory unfurls in a series of painful echoes. Ganga, a crippled young woman, organizes a wedding and counts herself fortunate to have a friend like Gayathri, whose family supports her. But tragedy strikes when Marudhu, a ruthless mastermind, targets Ganga and her world after insult at a cancelled wedding. He tries to force Ganga into an arrangement with his insane son Shankar, and Shiva—Ganga’s true love—arrives to defend her. The attempt ends in a brutal chain of killings: Shiva is stabbed by Marudhu and Shankar, Shiva’s ally is murdered, and Marudhu’s forces mete out relentless revenge that culminates in Ganga’s murder by strangulation with the wedding thali. The bodies are buried along the beach, a haunting move that hints at the unbreakable link between love, vengeance, and the sea.
In the present, the cycle of vengeance resurfaces. Raghava, still bound to the living through the spirit of Shiva, defeats Marudhu’s brother and triggers a chain of events that a tantrik later revives Shankar to finish what Marudhu started. The clash between Shiva and Shankar is brutal, and the struggle ends with Shiva prevailing. Ganga’s spirit returns to right the wrongs of the past, exacting her own retribution by killing Marudhu. With the cycle broken, Raghava is returned safely to his family, and the pair—now bound by an unshakable pact—promise to come back whenever their strength is needed. In the end, the haunting tale of Shiva and Ganga is enough to restore Green TV to its former glory, proving that courage, history, and the supernatural can intertwine to rewrite a channel’s fate.
This bold, sweeping horror-tinged saga blends a newsroom’s ambition with a village’s legends, weaving a thread that connects past tragedy to present peril and, ultimately, to redemption. The film’s atmosphere lingers long after the screen goes dark, inviting you to wonder what echoes from the shore might still be listening—and waiting.
