What the story is about
A spirit once trapped in a bottle gets loose. In 2012 Arjun waits at the registrar’s office for his girlfriend Ayesha, who never arrives. Four years later he takes Kishore, a friend’s cousin who believes he is possessed after too many rejections, to a temple in Kerala for treatment, and there falls in love with a girl called Amala. What Amala is, and why the women around Arjun start to change, is the film’s puzzle.
