Story
Varun, a 20-year-old boy living a lavish lifestyle in Ahmedabad with his parents, is sent to the home of a family friend, Beena, in Kerala. Beena is a mysterious woman who welcomes him with her unsettling demeanor. Varun has a few secrets of his own; specifically, he has a special girlfriend named Nisha (though the details remain personal). Beena’s home contains a room that holds dark secrets about her true identity. She lies about the room, claiming it has been locked ever since her husband, David, died in a car crash because it was their shared bedroom.
