Yug, a poor young fisherman, takes refuge in an abandoned haveli. Little does he know that the haveli is haunted by a family of ghosts. Although he is initially terrified, with time, he establishes a rapport with them. Yug’s developing rapport with the spirits is sure to tug at your heartstrings. While the ghost family makes use of every chance they get to frighten Yug, it is also they who give him the warmth and affection he has missed out on in his life so far. If you want a comedy that can make you laugh and cry both at once, this one is worth adding to your watchlist.
