The movie begins with three friends Sameer (Shreyas Talpade), Ravi (Abhiram Bhadkamkar) and Bharat (Bharat Jadhav) who arrive in an Osadwadi, a small village. They are working in a bank and have been transferred to this village branch.

Many transferee's had left the job and left the village due to strange things happening in the wada.
According to villagers the wada is haunted by the ghost of DurgaVandana Gupte, who was killed when she slipped into the well. After few days' break, the trio meet police inspecter Mahesh Jadhav at restaurant who tell them that that Durga death was not an accident. In fact, she was pushed by someone from behind when she was drawing water from the well. The story flashback to 16 years ago. Inamdar (Dilip Prabhawalkar) was a rich man who owned the wada. He stayed with his mentally deranged son, Babya (Ameya Hunaswadkar) and his trusted aide Kirkire (Vijay Chavan). Inamdar plans his son's marriage in a village far away from theirs. The fact that Babya is not of sound mind was concealed from the girl's parents and the wedding was fixed at the Temple of Narsobachi Wadi. But during the wedding Durga who was an old friend of the girls mother tell everyone that that Babya was mentally deranged and this fact was hidden by Inamdar. The marriage is broken and the irrate invite attacked Inamdar in which Kirkire is killed. Babya is sent to a mental hospital where he commits suicide and this results in Inamdar getting a fatal heart attack. But before he died he swore that he would come back from the dead and take revenge on Durga and would not allow Durga's daughter Manisha (Ashwini Kulkarni) to get married or let any auspicious event happen in Durga's house. A few years passed and Durga too died suddenly by slipping and falling into the well in her compound. It was rumored that the ghost of the Inamdar pushed her into the well. Her daughter is now looked after by Durga's brother-in-law and Sister-in-law, who brought her up as their own daughter. Even today it is believed that the Ghosts of Inamdar, Babya and Kirkire haunt the Inamdar Wada.
