brilliant brain comes up with a solution like never
before.

Synopsis
From racy America to his hometown in the interiors of
India, it was a long journey indeed for Siddharth (Shiney
Ahuja). But nothing could match the mind-boggling
journey that now lay in front of him. For it was a
journey into an astounding maze in which each step
meant mystery, discovery, surprise, shock and
revelation.
With open arms, his large extended family welcomes the
US based Siddharth & his newly wed wife Avni (Vidya
Balan) when they come home. But what the family
resists is Siddharth's insistence on staying in his
royal ancestral mansion during his stay. His uncle
Badrinarayan Chaturvedi (Manoj Joshi) particularly has
no qualms about voicing his displeasure. For it was
that very mansion that held in its realm, a deadly
secret that had repeatedly destroyed the family for
generations.
The scientifically inclined Siddharth pays no heed and
starts staying at the palatial mansion with Avni who
is equally modern in her thinking... But soon enough
the couple is forced to rethink their decision...
Unforeseen happenings, mysterious elements, horrific
indications and life threatening incidents swarm their
path. Suddenly it becomes a situation that urgently
had to be dealt with before it got too late.
Siddharth instinctively finds the solution in his
dynamic Doctor friend Aditya (Akshay Kumar). When Dr.
Aditya finds his way into the mansion, he is a man on
a mission. He just had to find the cause of all the
upheaval before the effects caused more harm than
could be imagined... Where did the answer lie??? The
Scientific world or the Mystical one??? The puzzle had
to be solved... It is not long before Dr Aditya
discovers that nothing is what it seems and what
seems, is not... and that the devastating reality was
enough to shatter all truths.
