Geeta, a woman with wild fantasies herself matches up to Aditya's desires. Aditya tricks both these women and experiences a playboy dream. Aditya promises to marry Geeta soon after divorcing his wife, Ashwini.

This results in Geeta's accidental death after her head collides with an object. Terrified, Aditya disposes of her body and returns home, thinking that the worst is behind him. But he realizes that he was wrong. With vengeance and unfulfilled dreams, Geeta returns as her ghost and begins to wreak havoc in Aditya's life. There is one spine-chilling scene when Geeta appears near Aditya when he is about to make love with his wife. This movie has not been labelled as a thriller nor a drama, but it is both.
