In 2004, in a palace in Bhawanigarh, Rajasthan, priests capture an angry spirit set on attacking a member of the Thakur family, and trap it inside a room. The family abandon the palace, leaving it deserted.
Sometime in present-day Himachal Pradesh, Ruhaan Randhawa meets Reet Rathore, who is travelling home for her wedding to Sagar on a bus via Chandigarh. The two cut short their trip to attend a music festival. The bus they were supposed to be on falls into a ditch and all the passengers die. Reet attempts to contact her family, who assume she has died; over the phone, she overhears her cousin Trisha and Sagar and realise that they are in love. Reet decides to play dead for a while so that Trisha and Sagar can marry instead. Reet and Ruhaan reach Bhawanigarh and hide in the deserted ancestral palace, where the spirit is trapped.
The Thakurs catch Ruhaan in the palace and he convinces them that he is a psychic who was brought there by Reet's spirit. He claims that her spirit wishes to stay in the palace with her family and see her cousin get married. Ruhaan becomes famous in the village as Rooh Baba for his supposed powers and he and Reet fall in love. Anjulika, Reet's sister-in-law, warns Ruhaan to stay away from the locked room where Manjulika is trapped.
Manjulika and Anjulika were identical twins from Kolkata who came to the palace with their father after he got a job there as an accountant. He favoured Anjulika over her sister, leading to a jealous Manjulika seeking refuge in practicing black magic. Manjulika fell in love with Uday Thakur, but Uday chose Anjulika over her. Angered, she resolved to kill her sister after killing their father. Anjulika fatally stabbed Manjulika in self-defense. Since then, her spirit has killed eight members of the family and pushed Uday from the balcony, paralysing him. In 2004, a priest locked her spirit in a room.
One night, Ruhaan and Reet are seen by Chhote Pandit, a priest, which spearheads a search. Knowing it is the one room no one will search, Ruhaan and Reet open Manjulika's room and hide there, freeing the spirit. Anjulika is attacked by Manjulika and discovers Reet is alive. The priest who trapped Manjulika is possessed and kills his disciples before being killed himself. Ruhaan encounters the spirit and she pushes him off the top of a fort.
Ruhaan returns to the palace, now possessed and speaking in Bengali. As the family gathers, they discover that Reet is alive. Reet goes to protect Anjulika from Ruhaan, only to find Anjulika holding a knife to her throat, threatening to kill her. Ruhaan reveals that he was pretending to be possessed to bring out the truth. The spirit is actually Anjulika; Manjulika had been posing as her all these years. Ruhaan discovered the truth after the spirit spared him at the fort and told him to leave. On Anjulika's wedding night, Manjulika had switched places with her using black magic. It was Anjulika who was stabbed when she tried to attack her sister. Uday Thakur had discovered the truth but Manjulika pushed him off the balcony to keep him quiet. She also killed the eight family members because they too had discovered her true identity.
Anjulika's spirit brutally attacks Manjulika and traps her in the same locked room. She has a moment with her family and thanks Ruhaan for revealing her story. Stating that she has unfinished business with her sister, she disappears into the locked room to Manjulika's screams. The family once again leaves the palace.
