PLOT
Two brothers, Vibhooti “Vibhu” Vaidya (Saif Ali Khan) and Chiraunji “Chiku” Vaidya (Arjun Kapoor), run a fake exorcism business, conning people by exploiting their superstitions. They arrive in a Rajasthan village to “exorcise” a girl, but Vibhooti discovers she’s faking possession to avoid an arranged marriage. They help her by staging a fake exorcism.
Later, at a Tantric fair, Chiraunji deciphers an ancient book that belonged to their father, Umedji Vaidya a.k.a. Ullat Baba (Saurabh Sachdeva), a legendary exorcist. While attempting to escape from Inspector Chedilal (Javed Jaffrey), they meet Maya “Mayu” Kulbhushan (Yami Gautam), who seeks their help with a supernatural problem in Dharamshala.
Maya explains that 27 years ago, their father banished a malevolent spirit, the Kichkandi (Kalsang Dolma), from her family’s tea estate. Now, the Kichkandi has returned, terrorizing the workers. Despite Vibhooti’s skepticism, they investigate and learn about the spirit’s tragic past. Vibhooti accidentally releases the Kichkandi, leading to Maya’s possession.
After initially planning to fake another exorcism, Vibhooti realizes the ghost is real. The brothers discover that Kichkandi is searching for her daughter, Titli Meena (Youngykar Dolma), a ghost Vibhooti had encountered earlier. With their father’s knowledge, they reunite the mother and daughter, freeing their spirits.
The film ends with Maya and her sister Kanika “Kanu” Kulbhushan (Jacqueline Fernandez) reconciling, and a hint at a sequel involving werewolves and vampires.
