Aakasha Ganga is a 1999 Malayalam horror film by Vinayan starring Divya Unni and Mukesh & Produced by Aakash Films.
Years ago, Devan(Madhupal), a member of the 'Maanikesseri' royal family, fell in love with Ganga(Mayuri), a 'dasi'(servant) girl and gets her pregnant. On hearing this, Devan's family members get outraged and in a fit of rage, his father, Thampi(Spadikam George), beats and kicks Ganga, making her unconscious. Panicker, a loyal servant of the family, tries to revive her, but fails. He comes to the conclusion that Ganga may be dead. So Thampi and Panicker decide to cremate Ganga, but while doing so, she regains consciousness, asking for water. The merciless Thampi sets the pyre ablaze and burns her alive.
Later Ganga's soul becomes a 'yakshi' and starts haunting the family members. Devan kills himself too. Ganga gets hold of Thampi and kills him. Fearing her wrath, the Maanikesseri family members hires an exorcist, 'Mepaddan'(Rajan P.Dev), who successfully gets hold of the spirit and imprisons her in a banyan tree. Meppaddan warns the family that the male members of the family should now lead a life of celibacy and that if the spirit is freed, then nobody, even Meppaddan himself, can't stop her.
Years roll by, the family remains true to their word. But trouble starts brewing when Unnikuttan or 'Unni'(Riyaz), befriends and falls in love with Maya(Divya Unni), a girl whom he met in the sets of a movie shoot. She too reciprocates his feelings and requests his family to get her married to him. After a lot of persuading, the family members arrange for their marriage only in name, provided that the young couple should not consummate the marriage, to which Maya promises.
One day, when the young couple were shopping, a man named James(Mukesh) interrupts them and identifies Maya as Daisy, his missing fianceé, which Maya opposes. Though the family members think James maybe nuts, Panicker sensed something wrong. In the process, Maya kills Panicker, who reveals that she is actually 'Ganga' but in the body of another girl. Things go haywire; Maya begins attacking family members who suspect her identity, seducing Unni and becomes pregnant. When things become unbearable, the family consult Meppaddan along with Father Mikhayel, another priest, about Maya.
