In an attempt to seduce her he ends up being killed by the lady who turns out to be a ghost. Later, Raj Mohan (Krishna Kumar) and his wife Thara (Sindhu) and their friends Reshmi (Mayoori), Govindan (Indrans) come to summer palace for celebrating their honeymoon. They are greeted by the palace caretaker Chinnasami(Prathapachandran) and his grandson Shambhu (Hari Nair). Summer palace was very dangerous place. One day Mohan Raj became possessed by a ghost. Its name was Gazzal (Ansil). In the back story it is revealed by Thara's grandfather Raveendran (Devan) that Advocate Gazzal Babu (Ansul) was in love with Rajani (Anju Aravind) and wanted to marry her. Gazzal's parents are summoned by Raveendran and murdered by him. Gazzal later approches Raveendran seeking revenge for killing his parents but he too is eventually killed by Raveendran. Gazzal turns into a ghost post death seeking revenge thereby haunting Summer Palace ever since. The ghost was awaiting Raveendran's arrival. When the haunting persists, the family is paid a visit by Aadiseshan (Rizabawa) who is the City Police Commissioner as well as an exorcist with mastery in Tantrik Rituals. In between this, a soap opera script writer Mega Bhagyaraj Andipallikavu (Jagadish) visits summer palace seeking for lodging facilities but are rejected by the family. He later ventures into a tribal settlement whereby he ends up as their captive and is forced into marriage with a woman on allegation of him enticing her. When Aadiseshan enters the palace, the ghost comes up with all tactics to stop him. Aadisheshan performs an exorcism on Raj Mohan at the same time providing 'Rakshas' or protective wearing to all inmates of the palace in order to prevent any imminent possession during the exorcism. Raveendran does not wear the raksha making it easy for the ghost to kill him. In the end, the ghost extracts it's revenge by killing Raveendran and then leaves Mohanraj's body.
