The film focuses on a supposedly haunted house and its resident family. The house's original owner was murdered and his immediate family disappeared without a trace. Half a century later, two of his heirs are murdered and a third one receives death threats.

Fifty years ago, Kundanlal was murdered and his wife and child vanished on a dark night, at the haunted bungalow surrounded by a jungle in the outskirts of Bombay.

In the present, three brothers are living in the bungalow, who are Kundanlal's nephews. They are Shyamlal, Ramlal and Ramu. On the eve of the return of Rekha (Ramlal's daughter) from London, Ramlal is killed in a car accident which is suspected to be murder. The suspicion is reinforced when Ramu is found hanging in his bedroom on the same night. Postmortem reports claim he was murdered before being hanged.

Shyamlal and Rekha move out of the bungalow to their home in the city and live there. However Rekha receives threatening phone calls about her death. She meets Mohan Kumar, the president of a local youth club, when he defeats her in a music competition. She soon confides to Mohan about the phone calls and Mohan begins to investigate into the calls. Rekha and Mohan soon fall in love with each other.
