Purani Haveli

In a remote stretch of rugged coastline, a forgotten haveli looms over an untamed forest, its stone walls and echoing corridors hinting at centuries of unspoken history. The isolated setting is drenched in a quiet, gothic atmosphere where the sea wind carries whispers of old legends, and the very air seems to pulse with a lingering sense of unease. This brooding backdrop becomes the focal point for a story that weaves family expectations, forbidden love, and a hidden menace together.

Anita has been raised by her uncle Kumar and his wife Seema ever since her parents died, sharing the household with Vikram, Kumar’s younger brother. While Seema envisions a convenient marriage between Anita and Vikram to secure the family’s estate, the young woman’s heart belongs to Sunil, a modest photographer whose world is far removed from the mansion’s looming grandeur. Their divergent aspirations set up a delicate tension between duty and desire, casting everyday interactions with a subtle undercurrent of longing and resistance.

When a group of friends arrives to celebrate, the merriment is tinged with curiosity about the old house’s secrets. Unbeknownst to the guests, the haveli houses a centuries‑old entity, sealed away beneath its foundations, that is said to awaken under certain circumstances. The very notion of an ancient, unseen presence adds a layer of latent dread, turning the seemingly idyllic retreat into a place where the line between the ordinary and the uncanny blurs.

Against this moody canvas, the film balances tender human drama with an atmospheric suspense that never fully reveals its darkest corners. The interplay of romantic hope, familial pressure, and the silent, looming threat creates a compelling tension that invites the viewer to wonder what might emerge when the past refuses to stay buried.
