1921 opens in 1927 England, with drunk pianist Ayush (Karan Kundra) slashing off his wrists before a grand performance. Flashback and he arrives freshly off the shores of Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) to master his craft at the York Music School. One night, while going over his notations, a door of his Victorian guest house mysteriously cranks open.

 

Outside the window, across the moonlit lawn, a spirit skirts the air. Inside, more doors open, a blackened ghost with mini-bulb eyes tip-toes across the hall, and thunderous jump scares paint a perennial unease on Kundra’s puckered lips.Enters Zareen Khan, playing a mystery babe named Rose. Rose can communicate with ghosts and spirits who have unfinished business on Earth. Many of them simply want their unpaid cheques but, Rose is too naïve and trusting for that. “Why don’t you show your face?” She shouts at a shapeless entity, then promptly repeats her lines.

 

Slowly, Ayush and Rose peel the layers of this vintage horror-romance. Dark secrets are revealed, complete with lavish and unwarranted songs. More doors open onto nothingness, and devilish laughter fills the countryside.
