The Sharma family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Sharma, their daughter Mini, and nephew Bunty, move into a spacious house in the city to start fresh. Shortly after arrival, Bunty discovers a black cat in the backyard and becomes attached to it, but the cat is accidentally killed when Mr. Sharma runs it over with his car. The family buries the animal without telling Bunty to spare his feelings. Days later, Bunty finds another cat that looks identical to the dead one, which deeply unsettles the family and marks the beginning of their supernatural troubles. Mini, who is romantically involved with a young man named Deepak, begins experiencing strange episodes. During one outing, their motorcycle gets a flat tire, and when Deepak leaves to fix it, he returns to find Mini sitting by a pond, crying and displaying reddened eyes with an altered, disturbing demeanor. In this state, she pushes Deepak into the pond before immediately returning to normal with no memory of her actions. This incident establishes the pattern of Mini's possession, during which an external entity takes control while her conscious self remains unaware. The situation escalates tragically when Mini's close friend Rashmi is found dead with her neck twisted completely backwards in an unnatural position. Police investigate Mini as a suspect when they observe her playing with a doll and methodically twisting its head in the exact manner matching Rashmi's fatal injury. This disturbing behavior, combined with her blackout episodes, convinces the authorities that Mini may be responsible, though her parents struggle to reconcile their loving daughter with these horrific acts. Mr. Sharma, representing a modern, rational worldview, insists that Mini's condition is psychological and arranges consultations with a psychiatrist. He refuses to entertain supernatural explanations, believing that science and medicine can address whatever mental disturbance his daughter is experiencing. The psychiatric evaluation yields no clear diagnosis, and Mini's episodes continue to worsen in frequency and intensity. She exhibits inhuman strength during these states, her voice changes dramatically, and her physical contortions suggest something beyond ordinary mental illness. Mrs. Sharma, increasingly desperate and convinced that medical intervention is failing, turns to traditional spiritual explanations against her husband's wishes. She believes her daughter is genuinely possessed by a demonic entity and seeks help from Sharji, an exorcist with experience in dealing with supernatural afflictions. This creates tension in the marriage as the parents' conflicting approaches to their daughter's crisis reflect broader cultural tensions between modernity and tradition, Western medicine and indigenous spiritual practices. Sharji examines Mini and confirms Mrs. Sharma's worst fears, identifying the presence of a malevolent spirit that has attached itself to the girl, likely connected to the death and mysterious reappearance of the black cat. He explains that the entity is strengthening its hold and will eventually consume Mini entirely if not driven out. The exorcist prepares for a ritual confrontation, warning the family that the process will be dangerous and that the demon will fight violently to maintain its host. The exorcism sequence forms the film's climactic confrontation, with the possessed Mini displaying full demonic behavior, speaking in altered voices, demonstrating supernatural strength, and physically attacking those trying to help her. Sharji performs traditional rituals involving mantras, sacred objects, and spiritual authority to weaken the entity's grip. The demon causes Mini's body to levitate and contort in impossible ways, while objects in the room move and break as the spiritual battle intensifies. Mr. Sharma, witnessing phenomena that defy rational explanation, finally abandons his skepticism and supports the exorcism process. Through sustained ritual effort and the family's unified emotional support, Sharji succeeds in driving the possessing entity from Mini's body. The demon is expelled in a violent final confrontation that leaves Mini physically and emotionally drained but fundamentally herself again. The ordeal ends with the entity banished, though the film suggests that such forces remain present in the world, their defeat in this instance offering no guarantee against future supernatural threats. The Sharma family, traumatized but intact, must rebuild their lives with the knowledge that the boundaries between the natural and supernatural worlds are far more permeable than they had believed, and that some threats cannot be addressed through modern rationality alone but require acknowledgment of older, spiritual dimensions of existence.
