      Plot



      Akira (Raai Laxmi), a sound designer, is arrested as a suspect, but she claims she is innocent. She had come to a hill station to record the sounds of a few rare birds for a Hollywood project. She finds a Cinderella costume in an antique shop and brings it home and has paranormal experiences. Meanwhile, Ramya (Sakshi Agarwal), a rich girl, is killed and her mother becomes the next target of a ghost. At the police station, a man is arrested for assaulting Ramya's mother Sandra. When leaving the station, Akira bumps into Sandra, who is shocked to see her. She contacts her manager, requesting for an appointment with Saint Gonzalves. The movie then jumps to a flashback.
      Thulasi, Akira's lookalike, works as a maid for Sandra and Ramya, who berates her. She once sees a Cinderella costume and saves money to buy it. Meanwhile, Ramya falls in love with her dance choreographer Robin. Robin on a visit to Ramya's House, sees Thulasi dancing and admires her. Later during Ramya's birthday party, Thulasi wears the Cinderella costume, and Robin falls for her. He later proposes to her, angering Ramya. Later that day, Ramya and Sandra kill Thulasi. Thulasi's spirit goes into the gown, and a possessed Akira kills Ramya. Sandra, with the help of the Saint, tries to ward off the ghost.
