Story

A married couple from Kolkata, Deboshree (Anu Choudhury) and her husband Sumit (Abhishek Chatterjee), move to a village. There, they move into a supposedly haunted mansion which belonged to Sumit's ancestors. Deboshree then goes into the restricted room and finds out that there was a dancer named Chandramukhi who had been killed by a zamindar (a Persian word meaning "landlord"), who lived in that mansion. After mysterious occurrences in the mansion, which appear paranormal, Sumit calls his psychologist friend Dr. Agni (Prosenjit Chatterjee) from USA, as he believes that there is not a ghost. He believes that Malini (Rachana Banerjee) who could not get married to him is mentally-ill and behind all those incidents. But Dr.Agni makes more comic misunderstandings. Also, Dr.Agni starts liking Malini. In the climax, it is revealed that Deboshree suffers multiple personality disorder and because of her sympathy for Chandramukhi, she starts believing that she is Chandramukhi. She thinks that her husband is the cruel zamindar responsible for Chandramukhi's death, and she must take her revenge by killing him. Dr.Agni devises a plan and makes Deboshree 'kill' a doll instead of Sumit. Thinking she has killed Sumit and exacted her revenge, the personality of Chandramukhi 'leaves' Deboshree. At the end of the movie, a hypnotized Deboshree regains consciousness as her usual self. And Dr.Agni gets married to Malini.
