Pizzas

Michael Karthikeyan is a pizza delivery man who shares a small life with his girlfriend, Anu, an aspiring novelist. He is a practical skeptic who does not believe in the supernatural, but he harbors a deep-seated fear of anything paranormal. Anu teases him with forecasts of unseen presences, insisting that the world soon will reveal its otherworldly side. The tension between belief and doubt becomes a through-line as the couple navigates love, trust, and danger.

The story kicks into a sharper edge when Michael learns that a spirit has seemingly possessed his boss, Shanmugam’s daughter. The claim unsettles him, and his disbelief clashes with a string of uncanny events that follow. As Anu becomes pregnant, the couple moves toward marriage, attempting to anchor their future in ordinary milestones even as something ominous lingers in the background. The normal routine of delivery rounds and everyday life begins to feel uneasy, as if the line between the living and the unseen is thinning.

One evening, Michael returns to the restaurant covered in blood, muttering Anu’s name in a disoriented haze. He recounts a harrowing night at a bungalow where he was sent to deliver a pizza to a woman named Smitha. She asks him to wait downstairs while she fetches money, but the moment the lights die, the house seems to close in around him. A scream, a murder, and the chilling discovery of a missing slice of pizza set the scene for a nightmare that grows more tangled with each moment. The front door is mysteriously locked from the outside, trapping Michael inside with the grisly scene.

Smitha’s husband, Bobby, arrives on the scene, suspicious of an affair and desperate to understand what happened. Michael uses a mobile link to communicate with him, trying to call for help and to rationalize the inexplicable danger he faces. Yet the situation escalates as Bobby vanishes from the threshold and is later found murdered in the same room, with more pizza slices missing—the sustenance that once symbolized routine now becomes a macabre clue. In the midst of fear, Michael encounters a child, a girl named Nithya, whose presence mirrors the haunting name whispered in his tale and seems tied to the same unsettling force.

With the police involved, the investigation becomes a tense mix of superstition and suspicion. Officers reveal that four people died at the bungalow—Smitha, Bobby, their young daughter, and a girl named Anu—and that Michael himself has become a suspect in the case. He struggles to believe what the authorities claim, and a dizzying sequence follows in which the police appear to be drawn into the same trap they’re trying to solve. Michael’s frantic flight back to the restaurant becomes a grim carousel of fear, confusion, and denial as his friends begin to notice inconsistencies: his home lacks any evidence that he lived with Anu, and no one seems able to confirm her presence in his life.

The twist unfolds through a late-night phone call, revealing a plan that reframes everything. The Income Tax Department had once planned a raid on Shanmugam’s restaurant, where diamonds valued at around 20 million were hidden inside a candy box. Michael and Anu decide to exploit the chaos: they conspire to pull off a theft and pretend that Michael “forgot” the pizza bag at the haunted bungalow. Anu flees toward Kochi via Bangalore with the diamonds, intending to settle abroad, while Michael becomes entangled in the fatal consequences of their deception.

As the truth surfaces, Michael heads to another delivery that echoes the earlier night, only to encounter a house and a girl who resembles Nithya once more. Trapped inside, he confronts the same eerie atmosphere and finds himself in a room where the lights abruptly go out, leaving the fate of everyone involved shrouded in darkness and unanswered questions. The film lingers on the consequences of deception, the fragility of trust, and the blur between a haunted legend and a calculated scheme, inviting the viewer to question what is real—and what is merely a carefully constructed story designed to hide a far more dangerous truth.

The narrative maintains a relentless tension as it traverses the boundary between horror and human greed, showing how fear can masquerade as proof while a pair of lovers teeter on the edge of ruin. In the end, the film leaves a raw impression of how easily a simple pizza delivery can become the backdrop for a deeper, more perilous mystery—one that may haunt the characters long after the lights return.
