Plot
Fifty years ago, Kundanlal was murdered, and his wife and child vanished on a dark night at the haunted bungalow surrounded by jungle on the outskirts of Bombay.
In the present day, three brothers — Kundanlal's nephews — live in the bungalow: Shyamlal, Ramlal, and Ramu. On the eve of Rekha's return from London, Ramlal's daughter, Ramlal is killed in a car accident suspected to be murder. The suspicion is reinforced when Ramu is found hanging in his bedroom on the same night. Post-mortem reports reveal that he had been murdered before being hanged.
Shyamlal and Rekha move out of the bungalow and into their home in the city. However, Rekha begins receiving threatening phone calls warning of her death. She meets Mohan Kumar, the president of a local youth club, after he defeats her in a music competition. Rekha soon confides in Mohan about the calls, and he begins investigating them. Rekha and Mohan soon fall in love.
