Little does he know that this tiny act will set in motion a chain reaction of mysterious occurrences in his home, which he at first attributes to the vengeful spirit of Kani. After talking to his neighbour, the traditional exorcist Madhusudanan Potti, Rohan’s search uncovers a dark situation involving Kani’s stalker, a hidden decaying body, and a desperate mother’s use of black magic that has trapped an angry spirit.

Unfortunately, the ritual has the opposite effect of what was intended—it binds the traditional, decades-old ghost Latika to Jeetu as his first supernatural wife. The result sets up a hilarious and chaotic love triangle between Jeetu’s modern, living ‘Gharwali’, Savi, and his traditional, ghostly ‘Pedwali’, Latika.
