Mahal plot
Shankar, a handsome lawyer, moves to the Mahal, an old, dark and abandoned mansion with a tragic history. He notes that it bears a lot of resemblance to a portrait of the former owner. Shortly afterwards, he is approached by the ghost of Kamini, the mistress of the former owner. She orders him to either die or marry her incarnation, the daughter of a servant named Asha. Soon, Shankar becomes obsessed with the ghost, to the point where his concerned friend Srinath steps in and arranges a marriage between Shankar and the beautiful Ranjana.
