The story opens with a group of college students visiting a big palace in small town of Vadhapur. People consider to be a haunted palace and all students are warned to not go on the second floor at any cost. One of the student in the group named Ruby ignores the warning thinking it is rumor and old superstition. The whole group reaches the destination and are stunned to see the beautiful palace. In the group another girl who is Ruby’s best friend Preeta also joins the tour to the palace.
Preeta looks at the exterior of palace very strangely and stares for some minutes. Her friend brings her to senses at the nick of time.
Ruby : where are you lost? come on
Veer (tour guide) : Guys we will stay here for some hours but nobody will go near the second floor room, got it
Everybody starts looking inside the palace while Ruby sneakingly goes to the second floor in spite of Preeta warning her.
Ruby : This is all fake, don’t worry I will come back soon, I will not get another opportunity to take pictures for my portfolio
Preeta : Please go carefully
Ruby walks to the second floor and is totally isolated without any noise. She looks around the hallway and gets lost in the beauty of the floor. She starts to get scared when she sees a big painting of a bengali dancer. Ruby gets lost in the painting when a small ball falls from stair and chill start to run in her spine.
The group starts to leave while Kaya gets worried when Ruby does not return after long time.
Veer: Is everybody here? Preeta, where is Ruby?
Preeta : Sir actually (Stammers)
Veer : Speak up Preeta, where is Ruby?
Preeta : She went to the second floor and did not return back (says with terrified voice)
Veer scolds Preeta for supporting Ruby and avoiding his warning. He tells the members to start looking for Ruby.
Veer : I will take strict against Ruby after we go back, you all are my responsibility, if anything happens you I will have to answer your families and authority.
Everybody starts looking for Ruby and finally finds her unconscious at the entrance of second floor.
Preeta : Ruby, are you okay (pats her face)
Rohit : Sir, I think she is in shock, lets take her to hospital
The group rushes Ruby to hospital but gets worried when doctor informs them about Ruby is under observation due to shock.
Preeta : what (shocked)
Doctor : Only prayers can save her, we are keeping her under observation
Rohit : Preeta, you don’t worry she will be fine
Preeta ; this is all my fault I should have not let go alone
Rohit : Its okay
Late at night it is silent in the hospital when the bottle of oxygen turns into blood. One of the nurse passing from the room sees a desk drawer moving and one of the vase falls on ground by itself. She immediately calls the security waking the staff too. Everybody gets horrified seeing Ruby in the air touching the celling. Her hair are loosed with dark black eyes and smiling smirky. She throws a table on one of the staff. The spirit throws Ruby down on bed when Preeta comes in with the God’s statue. The doctor tells Veer to take Ruby to avoid risking his hospital.
Ruby is shifted to her house where her family are tensed about the whole situation.
Veer ; We appointed a nurse but doctor said only prayers can save her now, I will take your leave now
Preeta travels back to her house near Vadhapur and gets scared after the incident with Ruby. Her father is out of town and is all alone in the big house. Late at night there is noise of bird on the roof of house. Preeta wakes up hearing a noise of an anklet and sees somebody’s shadow running outside the room. She tries to call somebody but in vain. She hears somebody calling her name softly while she walks in hallway. Her hair are blowed by somebody from back but she could not see anybody.
Preeta : who is there (goes near balcony)
Noise of wind from outside. Preeta sees the doors shutting and opening due to the wind outside. She goes out of the palace when she spots an old woman sitting on the bench. She goes near the women but gets scared seeing the eyes of woman and runs from there. She breathes heavily after reaching the road and gets unconscious. A silver accord car comes forward and person inside the car comes out and take her to home. The guy is none other than Karan who is Preeta’s childhood friend.
Karan : Doctor is she okay?
Doctor : She is just in shock, she will regain consciousness tomorrow morning don’t worry
Karan : thank you doctor, thank god I found her at this time
Doctor ; do you know her?
Karan : she is my childhood friend and my dad’s friend’s daughter
The doctor leaves and Karan lets Preeta take rest. Next day Preeta regains consciousness and finds herself in another house. Karan comes in the room and teases her as usual.
Preeta : What am i doing here?
Karan : Wow somebody lost their memory, at least try to remember me
” Even if I lose memory but I cannot forget you” says Preeta annoyingly
Karan : you are still that same, you never learnt how to say thank you to your savior
Preeta : I say thanks to people who save genuinely
Karan : You are always in mood of fighting, it is your hobby and by the way what were you doing in the middle of road
Preeta : Dad was not at home and there were strange noises coming but why am I telling this to you, modern NRI
Karan ; you are right, are you trying to say that ghost came to meet you yesterday but honestly he would run away from you (teases)
Preeta throws pillows on him and runs after him.
Karan : hey fatso
Preeta : how did you call me fatso ? I will kill you
Karan : see thats why I told you ghost would not dare to harm you
Preeta : shut up!!!
Karan : Okay stop fighting now, I need to talk something important with you
Preeta : what is it?
Karan : after yesterday incidence, you can stay here because your dad told me to take care of you
Preeta : I don’t need your help do you get it ?
Karan : Fine, then you can stay in your haunted house
Preeta : why do you need to joke for everything, it is serious
Karan : Come on, you are modern girl and stop believing all this things, it superstition
Preeta : I don’t care about your NRI thinking, I am leaving right now and thank you for saving my life
Karan : okay fine, I will not trouble you but till your dad returns you will be safe here
Preeta : I am only staying here only on dad’s insistence
Veer informs Preeta about Ruby’s condition is stable and not able to regain consciousness.
Karan : what happened?
Preeta narrates everything to Karan confusing him more. He tells Preeta about Ruby being in shock only due to trauma.
Karan : she might be sick thats why
Preeta ; I am telling you there is something more to it because she got unconscious after she went to that floor
Karan : maybe we can open that room on second floor and find out the truth
Preeta : have you gone crazy ? opening that room is inviting death (leaves) you will not do anything wrong
Karan : I cannot see you like this Preeta I will find out the truth as soon I can but before that I have to find out what is the secret behind that haunted palace
Karan goes to the haunted palace without informing Preeta . He sees the exterior of mansion and goes inside the mansion. By walking he reaches the second floor and sees the big paintings of all kings on wall. He sees the big door locked with all tantras. He also notices drops of blood near the door and find Ruby’s bracelet.
Karan : I am sure Ruby might have reached here and got unconscious, what would be inside this room
He meets a priest outside and asks about the key to the locked door on second floor.
Karan : I want to go inside that door, can I get the keys for it?
Priest : the person who has the keys is out of town
Karan : when will he come back?
Priest : I don’t know, maybe two or three weeks
Karan wonders another way of opening the door. Preeta calls Karan and asks his whereabouts.
Preeta : I told you not to go at that place why don’t you understand
Karan : That is the only way we can find out the truth, by the way how is Ruby ? did she regain consciousness
Preeta : yeah I got call from her sister, I was going there
Karan : I will come with you
Both of them reaches Ruby’s house and finds from her mother about Ruby’s worst condition. Her mother informs about Ruby not opening the door from long time. Everybody hears the noise of breaking glasses from room.
Preeta : Ruby open the door (knocks)
Karan breaks the door but everybody gets shocked seeing Ruby sitting in the corner with scared face. She hides her face behind the couch. Preeta consoles her friend.
Ruby : Preeta , I am very scared, something wrong is happening
Preeta : I will not let anything happen to you, I promise you but first you tell me what did you see that day
Ruby : That door (flashback of closed door with all tantras), big painting (big painting of king)
Later while going outside Preeta also goes back to her memory when she had dreams of those kind of things. She is about to lose her balance but is consoled by Karan.
Karan : Are you okay?
Preeta : That painting, door Ruby is telling, I used to get dreams of it from childhood
Karan ; whatever it is, this link is related with Preeta
Preeta : what are you thinking?
Karan ; nothing, lets go home
Both goes back to their home and have their dinner. Suddenly the lights go off which scares Preeta .
Preeta : I am scared of dark
Karan : Don’t worry, it might fuse problem I will fix it

Karan : what happened?
Preeta : there is somebody over there (shows him the place)
Karan looks behind but finds nobody and asks her to calm down.
Preeta : Trust me, I saw somebody over there
Karan : You need some rest, go to sleep
Preeta tries to sleep but sees somebody outside the window. She goes to see but cannot see anybody. She starts sweating hearing weird noises outside the palace. Karan comes from behind.

Pratap : If anything happens to you then what will I tell your father that I let you die, you are like my son thats why I cannot risk your life like this
Karan : then why didn’t you tell anything to Preeta
Pratap ; I sold that mansion after it started to haunt Preeta before you came back to India but I did not know that my daughter will have pay for our deeds, you can call me selfish but I am choosing my daughter’s life over her happiness
