Premise and structure

The story follows Amrutha (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar), an investigative journalist searching for her father Kalidas (Sathyaraj), a respected archaeologist who disappears during an excavation. Accused of stealing a valuable artifact and labeled a traitor, Kalidas was last seen entering an old mansion from which, according to local accounts, no visitor has returned alive. Amrutha enters the mansion to find him and clear her family's name.6 • 8

Inside, she meets a watchman, Seetharam (Rao Ramesh), who recounts a series of ghost stories tied to different rooms of the building. The season is structured as a horror anthology with a common thread: each episode carries a room number as its title (504, 203, 605, 409, 307, and 24), and the individual tales cover a drugstore girl killed by her married boyfriend, a family awaiting a dead matriarch's resurrection, a classical dancer hearing a baby's cries, and a sculptor who draws on real women for his work.2 • 9 In the final episode, Amrutha tells the watchman what really happened in room 307, and the room numbers turn out to be the key to the mystery of her father's disappearance in room 24.2 • 10
