Plot

Raheem and his well-trained pigeon Sara are alone in a coach aboard a train when a blind man enters and reached to door. Raheem saves the man, a killer, who in turn throws Raheem off the moving train to his death. Raheem's death is ruled a suicide, but Raheem's fiancee Sangeetha knows that Raheem had no reason to kill himself. The same night, Raheem appears in Sangeetha's dream and says that he was murdered. The following day, Raheem's case is forwarded to the CID at Sangeetha's request.

Shiva is a strict CID officer who is married to a thrill-seeker named Satya. The two live near a cemetery. Shiva is assigned Raheem's case and begins the investigation. The same night, Satya sees a ghost of child, and Satya is frighted by this. Shiva, however, cannot see that ghost and thinks that Satya is imagining it. The following day, Shiva visits Raheem's home to investigate Raheem's relationship with his father and with Sangeetha. Shiva suspects Sangeetha's father is responsible for Raheem's death.

Satya's behavior becomes erratic. She drives around the city while wearing a black dress, she's redecorated the house with green curtains and lights, and she has cooked Biriyani, even though she has never made the dish before. Later a house maid (Sadhu Kokila) and a few other maids tell Shiva about Satya's strange behavior. Shiva meets his friend Ashok, who is a psychiatrist. He advises Shiva to observe her behavior secretly. That night, Shiva returns home early. He hears a man's voice and smells a cigar burning. He heads to Satya's room and is shocked to discover that Raheem's soul has possessed Satya's body. Raheem warns Shiva, that he must solve Raheem's murder.

Shiva accesses the security footage at the Bangalore railway station and discovers that the blind man is the killer. Shiva tracks down the blind man and chases him, finally cornering him on a train coach with no passengers. Satya, who is still possessed by Raheem, enters and demands to know why the blind man killed him. The blind man tries to escape by jumping out of the moving train, but falls to his death. Shiva takes Satya to Darga, where they meet and informs Satya mother only. Baba (Pradeep Rawat) helps them to send raheem' soul out but not temporary. He tells Shiva that solving Raheem case is the only solution for helping Satya. Shiva starts the investigation piece by piece, and Raheem's pigeon Sara helps Shiva by giving clues. The film ends with Shiva solving the mystery by figuring out who killed Raheem and what their motive was.
