Set in contemporary India, the story unfolds amid modern technology: a train network, CCTV footage, smartphones, and current police procedures. The timeline follows Raheem's murder from the initial incident to the CID investigation and the evolving supernatural turn. The period emphasizes urban crime procedure blended with elements of the supernatural.

Set across Bangalore and Mysore, the film sweeps through crowded stations, city streets, and a quiet Mysorean house overlooking a cemetery. Bangalore serves as the bustling transit hub where the murder investigation begins, supported by CCTV and urban anonymity. Mysore provides a somber counterpoint with its quieter neighborhoods and the cemetery-adjacent home that shapes the investigation's mood.

🕵️‍♂️ Investigation

Raheem’s murder triggers a tight police investigation led by a disciplined officer who relies on evidence, not assumption. Clues from security footage, witness accounts, and motive assemble a web of possible culprits. The case navigates misdirection, forcing the team to re-evaluate seemingly straightforward alibis. The tension comes from the pressure to solve the mystery before more lives are at stake.

👻 Supernatural

Raheem’s spirit disrupts the living world, possessing Satyabhama to reveal hidden motives and push the investigation forward. The supernatural intervention blurs the line between rational inquiry and otherworldly intervention. The demonologist’s guidance provides a temporary solution, suggesting that truth can depend on spiritual as well as factual evidence.

⚖️ Justice

Justice in the film emerges not just through arrest but through uncovering the truth behind a murder that was disguised as suicide. The narrative examines how personal relationships and jealousies can drive a killer to act, and how evidence must withstand emotional manipulation. The resolution hinges on piecing together clues that others overlook.

💔 Jealousy

Romantic rivalry and unspoken desires fuel the plot: a jealous classmate, a protective fiancée, and a cunning killer all contribute to the crime's complexity. The film reveals how envy distorts perception and motivates deceit, leading to tragic consequences. Sacrifices and betrayals ripple through the relationships, intensifying the thriller’s emotional stakes.
