Plot
Four childhood friends—Naina, Kalyan, Vinay, and Aparna—run a channel dedicated to debunking paranormal claims and exposing fraudulent spiritual practitioners. Firm believers in rationalism, they set out to investigate cases of alleged possession and supernatural activity.
During one such investigation, they encounter Dr. Aadidev, a former neurosurgeon who now practices as a spiritual healer near the Andhra Pradesh Orissa Border, claiming to treat individuals afflicted by supernatural forces. Initially dismissive of his methods, the group attempts to expose him as a fraud. However, a series of unexplained events begins to challenge their skepticism.
As they delve deeper, the friends experience disturbing occurrences that defy logical explanation, including visions, behavioral changes, and apparent instances of possession. Their investigation gradually uncovers links between Aadidev's practices and a series of past incidents involving unexplained deaths and occult rituals.
The group becomes entangled in a supernatural conflict that tests their beliefs and threatens their safety. As the boundary between reality and the paranormal blurs, they must confront forces beyond their understanding while attempting to uncover the truth behind Aadidev's activities and the entity known as “Eesha.”
