Plot

Raheem and his well-trained pigeon Saara are travelling alone in an empty coach aboard a train. A blind man who is also in the coach looks for a toilet but is nearing the open exit mistaking it for the toilet and nearly falls out. Raheem saves the man, who is really a paid killer, he throws Raheem off the moving train to his death which is witnessed by his pigeon, Saara. Raheem's death is wrongly ruled a suicide by the transport police. Raheem's fiancée Sangeetha knows that Raheem had no reason to kill himself and kicks up a fuss so that his death is further investigated. That same night, Raheem appears in Sangeetha's dream and tells her that he was murdered. The following day, Raheem's case is forwarded to the CID at Sangeetha's request, and Shiva is asked to head the investigation. Shiva is a strict officer who is married to a thrill-seeker named Satyabhama. The two move to Mysore and stay at a house overlooking a cemetery. Shiva begins the investigation into the death of Raheem. The same night, Satyabhama sees a ghost of a child and is frightened by this. Shiva, however, does not see the ghost and thinks that she is hallucinating. The following day, he visits Raheem's home to enquire about his relationship with Sangeetha and her father. Shiva suspects Sangeetha's father to be responsible for Raheem's death.

Meanwhile, Satyabhama's behaviour becomes erratic. She drives around the city frequently, redecorates the house with green curtains and lights and even cooks biryani, though she has never made the dish before. Later, a house servant tells Shiva about her strange behavior. Shiva meets his friend Ashok, who is a psychiatrist. He advises Shiva to observe her behaviour secretly. That night, Shiva returns home early. He hears a man's voice and smells a cigar burning. He heads to Satyabhama's room and is shocked to discover that Raheem's soul has possessed her body. Raheem warns Shiva that he must solve Raheem's murder.

Shiva accesses the security footage at the Bangalore railway station and discovers that the blind man is the killer. He concludes that the man, David, only faked blindness to kill Raheem. He tracks him and chases him before cornering him on a train coach with no passengers. Satyabhama, still possessed by Raheem, enters and demands to know the motive behind his killing from David, who tries to escape by jumping out of the moving train, only to fall to his death. Shiva takes Satyabhama to a dargah, informing only her mother about her condition. A demonologist helps them send Raheem's soul out of her body but tells them that it is temporary. He tells Shiva that solving Raheem's case is the only way to save Satya completely.

Shiva resumes the investigation, with Saara helping him by giving him clues. He interrogates Satyabhama at the CID conference hall regarding Raheem. Satyabhama reveals that Raheem retrieved her iPad, which is stolen by a thief on a bus, who unbeknown to her is chased by Raheem. Raheem retrieves her iPad and tries to return it. When Raheem finally gives back her iPad outside her college, she takes his picture for the sake of friendship. Her classmate Rahul who secretly loves Satyabhamal, but is always ignored by her, witnesses this and out of jealousy and wanting to ruin her life, makes a call pretending to be Raheem on her landline asking her to meet him at a particular location. Satyabhama's father, who was already spying on Satyabhama, answers the call which makes him angry and he decides to kill the innocent Raheem. After unveiling the truth, Raheem's ghost possess Satyabhama's father and kills him instantaneously.
