Plot
Ajay Patil, a successful copywriter, appears to lead a stable married life, but his relationship with his wife Sonia is strained by constant mistrust and conflict. Sonia is overly suspicious and controlling, particularly regarding Ajay's professional association with his boss, Mona Mondkar, whom she believes he has romantic feelings for. She also resents Ajay's close friendship with his best friend, Bhagwan Kale, further escalating tensions within the marriage.
The conflict reaches a tragic point when a heated argument between Ajay and Sonia leads to her accidental death. Believing himself freed from the oppressive relationship, Ajay attempts to move on with his life. However, his relief is short-lived when Sonia's vengeful spirit returns and possesses half of his body, preventing him from finding peace. As Ajay begins to develop feelings for Mona, he is forced to contend with the supernatural turmoil caused by Sonia's lingering presence, which continues to control his life even after death.
