Plot

Ayan Sengupta, an ad director, visits a palace-like house for shooting his new ad. His dream is to make a movie but he doesn't have enough money. A man named Biplab Dasgupta, who he encounters in the house, narrates a story to Ayan. The story is about an old decrepit house called the Chowdury Mansion, which was haunted by the spirit of its last owner, before other wandering ghosts settled down.

A shooting of a movie named 'Antarjash' was happening where Madhumita Sanyal, the lead actress, lost consciousness while she gave shot. When she regained consciousness, she said that she saw the reflection of a unknown woman in the mirror.

The first section of the story, describes the ghosts familiarizing with each other and as their initial hostility towards each other disappears, as they start to regard each other as friends. Unfortunately, this atmosphere of peace and tranquility is destroyed when the ghosts discover that a greedy, plot dealer had made up his mind to convert the large, old house into a deluxe shopping mall. It is then upon the ghosts to figure out, how they will go about trying to save the house that granted them shelter, even after their deaths. Will they be able to save Chowdury Mansion from the prying eyes of the selfish dealer? Will Ayan be able to identify who this Biplab Dasgupta is and make his film debut?
