Movie Plot

A thief steals some antique items, which include a box with Jewish inscriptions. The box seems to have supernatural power. The unseen power kills a worker in the shop where the box is kept for selling.

Assistant Commissioner of Police, Syed Mohammed (Manav Kaul), looks into the matter. However, he does not get any lead about the murder.

Ranjan Mathur (Emraan Hashmi) is a nuclear waste management specialist.

He lives in Mumbai with his wife Mia Ranjan (Darshana Banik). Mia purchases the box and brings it to her home. Pronominal activities start in her house as soon as the strange box enters the house.

Ranjan is an orphan. His Uncle (Denzil Smith) has taken care of him since childhood. He informs Ranjan that the box is a Dybbuk, and the name of Abraham Ezra is written over it in the Hebrew language. Dybbuk (in Jewish folklore) is a wandering spirit that enters and possesses the body of a living person until expelled.

Ranjan now starts investigating Abraham Ezra. He comes to know that Dybbuk only possesses people with mental stability or children under three (3) years. Dybbuk becomes the worst enemy of those who try to expel it from the body.

Ranjan learns that his wife (Darshana Banik) is pregnant. He realizes that Dybbuk will possess his child. Ranjan now decides to save his future child.   However, he is completely blank as to how to deal with supernatural power.
