It was released on 22 July 2011, while a dubbed same-titled Telugu version was released a week earlier in Andhra Pradesh. The movie is about a jobless man who suffers from an irrational fear of ghosts and retreats to the safety of his home after sunset.

He gets possessed by a ghost and starts behaving weirdly. His family angrily confronts him, when it is revealed that there are actually three ghosts who have possessed him: a violent woman, a Hindi-speaking Muslim, and a mentally disabled boy. The ghost of the woman, trapped, reveals her story. She is a transgender woman who was disowned by her parents. She adopts another young transgender girl named Krishna alias Geetha and works hard to support her financially. Kanchana buys a plot of land where she intended to construct a hospital for the poor, but it is unlawfully taken by the crooked MLA Shankar.
