Whistle

The tranquil grounds of SJ Arts and Science College become a crucible of dread after a tragic student suicide sparked by a brutal ragging incident. Whispers spread through dorms and lecture halls, fuelled by an old campus legend of a vengeful spirit known as Naga, whose presence seems to pulse beneath the ivy‑clad walls and the charred remains of an abandoned laboratory that burned decades ago. The atmosphere is thick with uneasy curiosity, as students wonder whether folklore has awakened or if a darker reality is lurking in the shadows of the campus.

A close‑knit circle of friends finds themselves at the heart of this unease. Jeeva and Anjali navigate a tentative romance while their classmates add layers of complexity: Vikramaditya, the diligent magazine editor, whose lover Gayathri Raguram shares his passion for campus media; Bharath, the easy‑going presence; Vinod, the ever‑prankster who pushes the limits of youthful bravado; Meera, quietly battling personal demons; Sharmi, whose room‑mate duties keep her tethered to the group; Mayoori, working behind the college radio; and Maya, the charismatic RJ whose voice drifts through the airwaves. Their interactions are colored by typical campus life—friendship, rivalry, and the lingering guilt of past missteps—yet the growing sense that something unseen watches them all.

Adding intellectual weight to the myth, Professor Pannerselvam openly acknowledges the Naga legend, treating it as more than mere superstition, while Inspector Syed arrives to probe the unsettling series of mysterious deaths that have begun to punctuate the college’s routine. Their presence introduces a tension between rational inquiry and the uncanny, as the students grapple with whether fear is a self‑fulfilling prophecy or a signal of an ancient curse resurfacing.

The film weaves a brooding, atmospheric tone that balances the mundane rhythms of university life with an ever‑tightening knot of suspense. As rumors swell and the boundary between legend and reality blurs, the audience is left to wonder how deep the roots of fear run in a place where youthful ambition collides with haunting folklore.
