1. The Mysterious Beginning The story begins in a grand, ancestral palace (Aranmanai) belonging to a wealthy Zamindar family. The family’s patriarch, Krishnasamy, lives there with his son and their extended family. Strange events start occurring in the palace: a child falls ill, and the family cows stop giving milk. An astrologer warns the family that their guardian deity is angry and that a child born into the family is in grave danger. He advises them to conduct a special pooja at a temple in a distant village to save the child.
2. The Arrival of Murali The family decides to send a young man named Murali (played by Siddharth) to perform the ritual. Murali is the heir to the family fortune but lives in the city. He travels to the village with his fiancée, Anitha (played by Trisha), and his friend. Upon arriving at the ancestral village, they stay in the massive palace.
3. The Spirit Awakens This is where the horror element kicks in. Unbeknownst to the family, a vengeful spirit resides in the palace. The spirit seems to be targeting the family members one by one. It specifically targets the women in the house. Anitha notices a painting of a beautiful woman in the palace and feels a strange connection to it.

Strange accidents happen: a swing moves on its own, shadows appear in mirrors, and people get locked in rooms. The comedy track runs parallel, involving the palace caretaker and a clumsy exorcist, providing relief from the tension.
4. The Flashback (The Truth) The twist in the tale is revealed through a flashback. The painting Anitha saw is of a woman named Easwari (played by Hansika Motwani). In the past, Easwari was a kind-hearted young woman who was deeply in love with a man. However, due to family politics and greed for the inheritance, she was brutally murdered within the palace walls.
Her soul was trapped, and she was wrongfully blamed for things she didn't do. The "guardian deity" the astrologer spoke of was actually a cover for the sinister deeds of the family members. Easwari’s spirit is now seeking revenge against those who killed her and their descendants. The story revolves around a family haunted by
5. The Climax Murali discovers that the spirit is not trying to harm him or Anitha, but trying to reveal the truth. A relative who seemed helpful is actually the main antagonist who orchestrated Easwari's murder years ago.
In a high-voltage climax, the spirit of Easwari possesses Anitha to confront the villain. Murali fights to protect Anitha while the spirit exacts her revenge on the murderer. In the end, justice is served. The family realizes their mistake, the villain is killed by the spirit, and Easwari’s soul finally attains peace (Moksha), leaving Murali and Anitha safe.
