The film is praised for its storytelling and performances, particularly by Amruta, and its story.
Radha (Amruta Subhash) travels with her daughter, Saie (Avanee Joshi), to her ancestral house in the village. There, Radha discovers an old doll, after which she begins to behave strangely. Even after returning home, her unusual behaviour continues. It is revealed that Radha has shown such symptoms since childhood and has long been under the care of psychiatrist Dr. Dhananjay Kulkarni (Kishor Kadam). She later seeks treatment from Dr. Rashmi Pandit (Jyoti Malshe).
Meanwhile, Saie starts playing with the same doll and claims that it speaks to her. The family’s house help (Snehal Shidam) also senses something unsettling about it. Dr. Rashmi contacts Dr. Dhananjay after Radha recounts an incident from her childhood, leading to further revelations from Radha’s husband Shekhar (Vikram Gaikwad), her parents (Rajan Bhise and Seema Deshmukh), and Dr. Kulkarni.
The backstory reveals that in her childhood, Radha believed she was the victim of black magic performed by a woman named Ganguti (Anita Date-Kelkar), who lived on the upper floor of their ancestral home. Though Radha’s condition had temporarily improved, her episodes resurfaced after her marriage to Shekhar. It is also revealed that Saie is not Radha’s biological daughter.
The narrative then explores whether Radha is ultimately cured of her recurring condition and what role the mysterious doll plays in her and Saie’s lives.
