Plot
The movie starts with the flashback of an incident which took place 70 years ago, in Dorothy bungalow, where Dorothy carries a trunk filled with blood (where she killed her husband Fernandez and his lover Grace) and kills her driver. She then drops the trunk and the driver into a well situated in the lower right room and leaves the place.
The story shifts to the present day, where Thomas Kutty buys the bungalow in Ooty with the cash which he received in 2 Harihar Nagar, with the intent of converting it into a resort. The property is believed to be haunted by the ghost of the mistress who was killed 70 years ago. Thomas Kutty proves to his friends that these ghosts can be easily made by men, by keeping some men and women and disturbing Mahadevan, Govindan Kutty and Appukuttan in their sleep. He also tells them that he had stayed there many days before he bought the bungalow, all alone. The three agree to stay with Thomas Kutty in the bungalow and bring their wives along.
In the middle of the journey they see Father Dominic, who warns that the foursome are in the path of bad things. They do not pay heed to his words, but then the housekeepers employed by Thomas Kutty leave on the pretext of the house being haunted. At this point Thomas Kutty reveals that he had lied to the others about having stayed alone in the days before purchasing the bungalow. This revelation startles the four, who start fearing for their own and their wives' safety. After a series of unpleasant events, the four decide to apologise to Father Dominic and ask him for help.
Fr. Dominic accompanies the four to the house and attempts to exorcise the house. But things sour on their first meeting, when Dominic mentions he is in no way associated to any church and he is a person involved in paranormal activities. However, before Mahadevan and Govindan Kutty leaves his house, he warns of a threat from fire to one of their wife. This turns true, when Thomas Kutty's wife Jessy's dress catches fire, but she is rescued in the nick of time by Dr. Christopher, who was sent by Father Dominic.
Post this incident, the priest visit's the house, after his earlier advice to stay away from alcohol, meat and women is not followed by the friends, leaving Father Dominic injured in the left hand by an unknown force. Here things takes a bad turn, when the maid servant Marathagam gets possessed by the ghost. While exorcising the ghost, Father Dominic suffers a heart attack, and is declared dead. Thomas Kutty sells the house to Dorothy for half the price.
On their return journey, Mahadevan receives a call from Father Dominic, who says he faked his death. Dominic reveals Dr. Christopher is his partner and Marathagam was one of his minions, who had a twin sister. However, Mahadevan reveals that he realised Dominic was cheating them. After his first encounter with the ghost in their house, Dominic bandaged his right hand instead of his left. Similarly, Appukuttan reveals he knew the doctor had lied about his death, as he had checked his pulse and he hit on his chest, so that Dominic can die and he kicked Marathagam also. Govindan reveals they bribed the registrar with double the amount, after he realises that Dominic was dressed up as Dorothy. Finally, Thomas Kutty reveals they have the property and the amount he has the full amount he paid to Dominic for purchasing the property. The friends rejoice and head for Dorothy Bungalow.
As they get inside, the gates close on their own, indicating the presence of a ghost.
