At the beginning of the movie, we see a man cutting his hand with a blade and drawing
a satanic symbol on the floor with his blood, and then bowing before it.
We are then told that in the near future, the country has changed.
Sectarian violence has reached a crisis point, secret detention centers are established,
and a military clampdown is in effect.
We then see an abandoned hotel that is a suspected terrorist safehouse, and a military force
is raiding that place.
The soldiers move forward following a sign and on going some further, they hear some
sound from a room.
They all get alert, and a man starts moving toward them saying everyone is dead.
Captain asks him to put his hands up, but he keeps moving toward them and the captain
gets an order that they want him alive.
Captain asks him to stop where he is, but he comes close to them, and they get shocked
to see that satanic sign on his abdomen.
Captain asks him where is Ali Saeed?
to which he says back there.
The force moves forward to that side, and they find Ali Saeed in a room, but they see
that the room is filled with many dead bodies.
Now when the captain goes near him to check if he is dead or alive, Ali Saeed wakes up
and says there is something he needs to know.
He then whispers something in his ear, and the scene cuts here.
The movie now shifts one month ago, where we see Nida and her dad Shahnawaz Rahim.
He tells her that soldiers came into their neighborhood and threw them out of their houses.
Whatever they could find, they took it all away, and the reason they gave them was that
this was anti-national.
Nida sees that he is secretly carrying seditious literature with him and tells him that what
he is doing is treason.
The government just wants what's good for them, and somehow their community has always
been brainwashed.
Only then a check post comes ahead and she asks her dad to calm down, but he tells her
that there are lecture notes for his students in his bag as well.
An officer then comes to him and asks him to show his ID, and seeing his ID, the officer
asks him to step out as they need to search his car.
But when he refuses, the officer forcefully drags him out and tells him that if there
is anything he is hiding from them, it will be good for him to tell them about it right
now.
Now seeing the situation getting worse, Nida comes out of the car and shows them her military
ID card telling them that he is her father and he is dropping her back to the academy,
and seeing it, the officer let them go.
We then see Colonel Sunil Dacunha, giving a lecture about terrorism to the newly recruited
military officers.
He tells them that it is their responsibility to look out for illegal activities, anything
that looks suspicious and report it to their seniors.
Even if the person in question is a family member.
Now because Nida was finding her father suspicious, so she informs her seniors about this and
the military force arrests him.
He is then brought in for interrogation, where he asks the officer why he has been arrested.
Nida is also watching this interrogation and she asks a senior officer if they will let
him go soon? to which he says yes, but it takes a little time to make an intellectual
understanding.
She then enters the interrogation room and asks him to listen to them and do as they
say.
He says what she is doing is wrong and making a mistake, and then the officers take him
away from there.
Nida is then taken for an assignment, where she is told that her father is doing very
well in his re-conditioning process and that This assignment is on the orders of Colonel
Sunil Dacunha, and is extremely confidential.
The scene now shifts to Meghdoot 31, an advanced interrogation center, where they inform Colonel
Sunil that Nida is joining duty from today, and the package will arrive tonight.
He tells Major Chawla to process Nida as a new recruit as she can help them with the
interrogation.
Hearing this, Major Laxmi Das gets shocked and says all the information that they have
about Nida and about her religion, it would be better not to play these games and extract
as much information from her as soon as they can, as she think she is connected to all
this, but Colonel Sunil says they will do it his way.
The team then brings Nida to the interrogation center, where Major Laxmi completes her joining
formalities and welcomes her there.
She asks her that her religion will not give any problems, as there are a lot of Muslims
in the group with which they are fighting.
Nida says they think they are Muslim, but Islam forbids the murder of innocent men,
women, and children.
These prisoners here are nothing but murderers and terrorists.
Major Lamba and Major Laxmi then give her a tour of the building and tells her that
this facility was built soon after the First Emergency, to be used as a bunker in a nuclear
attack, but this place has never been used, and there is no mention of this place in government
records too.
Currently, there are 5 prisoners and 12 soldiers.
She asks him why are there so few prisoners?
to which Major Laxmi tells her that they don't have permission to keep anyone in custody
for more than three weeks.
Only then she sees 2 soldiers bringing a prisoner named Ahmed and lock him in a cell, and she
asks them why isn't he kept in a cell like the rest of the prisoners?
to which they tell her because he hasn't opened his mouth yet.
They then take her to their main interrogation chamber, where she meets interrogation officers
Mathur and Babloo.
After the tour, major Laxmi brings her to Colonel Sunil, who tells her that Ali Saeed
will be here today.
He is the last unit member of All their prisoners rotting here.
He shows her the confession tapes of dangerous anti-socials, saying this is the result of
their interrogation techniques and years of hard work, and he wants to see one more confession
in there.
She has been posted here to get a confession out of Ali Saeed.
Now after she leaves, major Laxmi says its really foolish to trust this woman, because
she is a suspect, to which he says it's his final decision and now it's an order for her.
Meanwhile, Major Chaudhary and Gupta get into an argument as Gupta thinks Ahmad is innocent,
to which Chawla says No prisoner here is innocent, and Ahmad is making a fool out of all of them
by being mute.
He explains to him not to let them mess with his head and that they are only doing their
duty.
Later, the alarm goes off, and Rajan says they are bringing Ali Saeed, to which other
prisoner says it's impossible because they will never be able to capture him alive.
Then one of the other prisoners says it's possible, but only if he planned his own capture.
Now the whole team comes to the main gate to welcome Ali Saeed and they are accompanied
by their dogs, But as soon as Ali Saeed comes out of the van, Nida notices that the dogs
are scared of him, and as he sets foot on the ground, all three dogs sit down in silence.
They then bring him inside the facility, where Chawla asks him his name and age, but he doesn't
say anything.
However, he suddenly looks at Nida, After which Colonel orders them to take him to the
interrogation room, and when they are taking him there, all the prisoner asks them to leave
him.
Now in the interrogation room, they hang him with chains and Major Laxmi asks Nida to go
ahead.
She asks him his name, and she was about to hit him, He says Nidu, which she gets shocked
to hear.
Laxmi asks her to hit him, but she backs off, and Laxmi says she knew it.
Later, Colonel tells his team that Command has given them only 24 hours to make Ali Saeed
talk, and he asks Ray to set the interrogation room temp to 45, then reduce it to 5.
He also asks him to make the music louder so that Saeed doesn't fall asleep, and the
rest of the ream can sleep for 4 hours.
Now that night, we see that everyone in the facility is disturbed and having nightmares.
Nida sees her father in her dream and she shoots him to blow his head, and Ali Saeed
is clapping standing there and his eyes are completely black.
The next day, while she is at the canteen, She overhears Gupta telling Chaudhry that
he also had a nightmare, and Chaudhry says he also had the same dream.
Later, Gupta, Chaudhry, and Nida go to the interrogation room to interrogate Saeed, where
they take him out of the box and make him sit on a chair.
They then start their interrogation, but Saeed asks them if they can hear the voices like
a baby is crying.
Now the three present in the room can hear the cries, but the officers sitting outside
in the recording room cannot hear anything.
Gupta says he can't hear anything at all, and Saeed asks them if it was their idea?
they ask him what idea? to which he says they brought them both here, beat them, tortured
them, raised their weapons, and shot them.
He then looks at Nida and asks her how is her father?
and she sees that his eyes are completely black.
only then does the camera malfunction and the screen gets stuck, and here Chaudhary
and Gupta start fighting blaming each other.
They try to kill each other and Nida tries to stop them, and by the time Chawla reaches
there, Chaudhary stabs Gupta with a knife and says this is all his fault.
They then take him out of there, but while leaving, Chaudhary says Saeed is messing with
their minds and asks him how he knows all this.
Now colonel reaches there and tells Gupta that everything will be alright, but the says
they are all guilty, and then dies.
After that, they take his dead body from there, and Colonel asks Nida to leave the room.
He then takes the matter into his hands and tells Saeed that in his very first order,
his 14-year-old son and wife Lubna, they will be brought here and tortured right here in
front of him.
Saeed then begins to chant something, But the colonel doesn't understand anything, and
he asks him to speak clearly.
But Nida gets suspicious and goes to the old prisoner and brings him with her to the recording
room.
She asks him what language is Saeed speaking.
to which he says it's ancient Aramaic.
A language from before the time of their messenger.
However he knows Saeed since his childhood, and he doesn't know this language.
He is repeating the same thing, like, Finish the task.
He asks her to tell the Colonel to get out of that place right now, but only then Saeed
takes Colonel's wife's and daughter's name.
He gets shocked to hear this, and now Saeed begins speaking some of his private things
in his wife's voice.
Colonel gets furious hearing all this, and He prepares to torture her by electrocuting
her, but Saeed asks him if that is how he felt when he beat his wife for the first time.
He angrily sets terminals to Saeed's tongue, and switches on the power, and tells him that
he has spent his whole life fighting for and serving this country.
Now after some time, Saeed starts frothing from the mouth and due to a short circuit,
the lights of the entire facility go off.
Nidu from the recording room hears the colonel saying there is no pulse, and asking chawla
to get the crash trolly, but after that, she hears someone crying, and recognizes it as
her father's voice.
She goes to the interrogation room, where she finds Saeed lying on the floor.
She tries to wake him up and asks him what he knows about her father.
She then goes to shut the door, but when she turns, she gets shocked to see that he is
not there.
She then finds him standing in a corner facing the wall, and when she goes near him, she
gets terrified to see his demonic form and falls down.
She then lit a torch, and hear his screams from all around the room but couldn't see
him.
She then sees him right in front of her asking her in her father's voice how could she send
him here to rot.
Only then major laxmi comes there Colonel and others and Nida see that Saeed is lying
on the floor in front of her.
Colonel is also gets shocked to see Saeed alive, and she tells the colonel that Saeed
is not a human.
Laxmi and Lamba pick up Saeed and the colonel says that he himself checked that he had no
pulse.
He then orders Lamba to send the message and call in Faulad Singh.
Now Faulad Singh arrives at the facility and begins the interrogation.
Meanwhile, Nida goes to that old prisoner and asks him what is the truth.
to which he tells her that In Arabic mythology, Ghul is mentioned, and the one locked in their
cell is Ali Saeed is not a human but a Ghul.
Any seeker who makes this sign with his blood surrenders his soul and then summons the Ghul.
It shows them the reflection of their guilt and then uses their own guilt against them
to destroy them.
And its most powerful weapon is that the last person's flesh he eats, he then takes that
person's identity.
On the other hand, Faulad Singh had tortured Saeed badly, and meanwhile, Colonel comes
to know that Saeed's dead body is found in one of his own safe houses and had been partially
eaten.
Unknown to all these things, Faulad Singh unchains Saeed and he reveals his demonic
form.
Only then do Nida and the prisoners hears screeching and snarling sound from the interrogation
room and they get terrified.
The door opens and faulad singh comes out walking, and Nida hides there and then He
opens the doors of all the cells before leaving.
and when she goes to check the interrogation room, She finds faulad singhs dead body hanging
upside down and his head lying on the floor.
After this Ghul comes in front of her and starts moving toward her, and she presses
the emergency button and tries to escape from there.
ghul now starts chasing her, but before it could reach her, her team opens the door and
she comes out.
She tells the colonel that he has opened all the cell doors and released all the prisoners
and was trying to kill her.
She tells him that Ghul is in Faulad Singh's body, but Laxmi doesn't believe her.
Colonel then goes to check and finds that Nida was telling the truth, and they also
get shocked to see Faulad Singh's dead body.
She then goes to Ahmad's cell and tells the colonel that the prisoner thinks that this
man has summoned the Ghul.
They then hear a scream, and when they come out, Laxmi blames Nida for all this saying
She came down here without permission, released all the prisoners, and they together vented
their anger on Faulad Singh.
She is the only daughter of a traitor, who has come to this place to avenge her father.
Hearing all this, Colonel points his gun at Major Laxmi, but she also does the same.
He tries to explain to them that they all know there is an imposter in their midst,
and he orders his team to arrest Major Laxmi until they don't find out the truth.
However, Major Laxmi along with a lady soldier Ashima warns the soldiers, that whoever supports
the colonel will also be considered a traitor.
Now except Chawla, all other soldiers also turn against Colonel and ask him to drop the
gun.
Major Laxmi then orders them to throw Nida and Ahmad into the chamber right away and
find the escaped prisoners.
Now Nida encounters those prisoners inside the chamber who tries to attack her, but she
fights them back.
She says she will kill Ahmad if they come any closer, to which the old prisoner tells
her that he is not a member of their group.
He also reveals that Chaudhary and Gupta brought his wife and child over here to scare him,
and Chaudhary killed them in front of his eyes.
She then notices that it's an execution chamber and Here she understands that his father was
also brought here and killed.
Only then the team starts coming towards the executive room after checking the entire facility,
and all the prisoners try to block the door.
Meanwhile, ray and kapoor find a dead body of a prisoner who is impossible to identify,
and when they inform Laxmi, all the prisoners also hear this and get terrified to know that
one of them is ghul.
Now they all start doubting each other and in the meantime, Nida helps Ahmad to escape
through a furnace.
Rajan says he thinks he knows who the ghul is, And only then Ghul who was in the form
of an old prisoner attacks a prisoner and kills him.
Here Ahmad escapes, and when he was pulling Nida out, ghul catches her and bites on her
leg, and then drags her down.
but after a while she comes back out of the furnace.
Now when the team enters the interrogation room, they find Nida there who asks them not
to shoot her.
Laxmi asks her where did that mute go? to which she points them to aside and tells them
that the ghul bit her and went after him.
Meanwhile, Nida tells Ahmad that officers must be looking out for them so they should
get out of there.
Here Lakshmi beats Nida and asks her what is her connection with Ali Saeed and she doesn't
want to hear anything about demons and ghosts.
She asks her to come closer to her, and suddenly bites her ear.
She then asks her why she has been suspecting her ever since she got here, and during this,
Ashima accidentally shoots Chawla and runs away from there.
Lakshmi tells her that when Ali Saeed was captured, he just kept taking her name.
On the other hand, Nida and Ahmad were hiding in Colonel's office, when ahmad speaks and
says she is different from others.
Only then Mathur comes there and Kapoor asks him on the radio to come over, but then he
notices that someone is behind the couch, and suddenly the ghost in form of Nida attacks
him.
Nida asks the colonel if her sudden posting here was all planned?
to which he says he wanted to how Ali Saeed reacts when he sees her, and that Ghul is
here only because of her father.
Only then laxmi tries to attack Nida, but the colonel shoots and kills her.
He then reveals that when his father was here, he would repeat the same thing again and again,
about making a deal by offering blood, and then out of the smokeless fire of hatred,
the ghul will rise, and the man we see at the beginning of movie performing a ritual
was her father only.
They then set out to find Ahmed as he is innocent, and in his office, they find the rest of the
soldiers.
He orders them to stand down, and asks them what's going on here.
They tell him that they killed ray thinking of him of ghul and meanwhile, the colonel
grabs a grenade from his drawer.
Babloo says Ahmad must be the ghul, but Nida asks him to move saying that Ahmad is innocent
and Ghul is here for them to take revenge.
She then asks Ahmad to find the tape of Shahnwaz Rahim and put it in the player and forward
it till the end.
Ahmad does the same and they all hear her father saying that Ghul will come and her
betrayer daughter Nidu will bear witness.
The colonel in the tape then says that he is not a terrorist, but still orders Ray to
take him to the execution chamber.
She says she suspected this all along, and that she knows that the ghul is among them
right here.
Her father summoned him to teach her a lesson and she has learned her lesson.
He came here to complete a task, so now, her job is to help him with that.
She then shoots the bulb causing the room to get dark, and ghul then starts attacking
and killing them.
She then shoots a window and breaks it open, and jumps out of the room with Ahmad.
and when ghul goes to kill the colonel, he explodes the room with a grenade.
Here Nida sees that the reinforcement team has reached there, who tells her that this
whole area has been totally surrounded and asks her the status.
She tells them Everyone is dead, but only then the colonel comes limping from behind,
and she asks him to stay down.
She tells the team that it's not the colonel, but he says he has killed the Ghul.
He somehow managed to get behind the desk when the blast happened, but she says he is
a monster and shoots and kills him.
After this, during her interrogation, she tells her seniors that the entire unit was
operating illegally, to which he says Colonel and his entire division were all just following
the state policy and it was she who was illegal, and that the daughter of a terrorist can be
nothing but a terrorist.
He asks her if she wants to fight the entire state now? and then we see her in prison,
cutting her hand to summon the ghul.
