Plot
Balagopal is an alumnus and professor in a college. He is engaged to Anjali, an heir to one of the royal families who owns a huge estate and bungalow in Ooty.
Her father's brother tries to extort her. Balagopal goes to Ooty to help Anjali. On the way, he meets a girl Rosy who asks for a lift. On the way, they get to know each other and become good friends. After dropping her, Balagopal notices a sweater left by Rosy. He goes back to return it to Rosy. While at Rosy's home, he realises that she was long dead. On coming back to the bungalow, he meets Rosy's ghost who was waiting for him. She opens up to him about her past: "Rosy was a student in the same college as Balagopal and she had a huge crush on him but never expressed it openly to him or met him in person. She decided to express her desire to him after getting permission from her parents, but on the way she meets with an accident and passes away."
Balagopal sympathises with Rosy and treats her as a friend. Rosy even helps Balagopal when goons sent by Anjali's uncle attack him. It all changes when she realises that Balagopal is in love with Anjali; she becomes possessive of him.
When Anjali and her family come to Ooty to stay with Balagopal, Rosy attempts multiple times to threaten her and kill her. To find a solution, Anjali approaches a priest in the church, who guides her to Fr. Rosario who hails from a family of fabled exorcists. Fr. Rosario arrives and prevents many attacks of Rosy. He tries to talk to Rosy during a prayer session during which he realizes that Rosy had denounced God and her powers were becoming evil. When he discusses it with another priest, Fr. Rosario learns that Rosy had not been baptized since her father was an atheist. It also was the reason for Rosy's spirit to denounce God. When Rosy's father learns of his daughter's fate, he accepts to undergo baptism for her benefit. Fr. Rosario plans to agitate Rosy and bring out the evil in her so that when her body is baptized, it dies. Fr. Rosario plans to conduct the wedding of both Anjali and Balagopal. During the wedding, Rosy attacks in full fury becoming a total evil spirit. However, she returns to her calm form after being baptized.
