Once upon a time, there was a wealthy business tycoon named Sameer. He lived a lavish life with his beautiful wife Tanya and their two children, Bunty and Sweety.

One day, Sameer decided to take his family on a vacation to a farmhouse he had recently purchased. The farmhouse was located in a remote area, surrounded by dense woods and eerie silence.

As soon as Tanya and the children settled in, they began to explore the farmhouse. Tanya was amazed by its beauty and grandeur, but something caught her eye that made her uneasy. Everywhere she looked, there were mirrors installed. Some were large and ornate, while others were small and simple, but all of them seemed out of place.

She couldn't shake off the feeling that the mirrors were watching her. She tried to ignore it and enjoy the vacation with her family, but the mirrors continued to haunt her.

As the days went on, Tanya began to notice strange things happening in the farmhouse. Every time she looked into the mirrors, she saw something different. Sometimes it was her husband and children, but other times it was something sinister and terrifying. she realized that the mirrors were not just reflecting her reality, but also a twisted version of it.

Tanya couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off about the farmhouse. Every time she looked into the mirrors, she saw ghostly figures staring back at her. She tried to brush it off as her imagination, but the sightings persisted.

One day, she confided in Sameer about her experiences with the mirrors. She begged him to leave the farmhouse, but he laughed it off and dismissed her concerns. He told her that she was just imagining things and that they should enjoy the rest of their vacation.

But Tanya's experiences with the mirrors only intensified. She began to see ghostly figures everywhere she looked. They seemed to be following her, haunting her. Tanya became increasingly distressed, but Sameer refused to listen to her.

As the days went on, Tanya's mental state began to deteriorate. She became paranoid and withdrawn, spending most of her time locked in her room. Sameer, meanwhile, was completely unaware of the distress his wife was going through.

One night, Tanya couldn't take it anymore. She packed her bags and left the farmhouse, leaving Sameer and the children behind.

As Tanya left the farmhouse, Bunty and Sweety went missing as well. Sameer searched everywhere for them, but they were nowhere to be found. He became increasingly worried and began to regret not listening to Tanya's warning.

As he searched for his children, he began to notice strange occurrences happening in the farmhouse. Objects would move on their own, and he would hear strange noises coming from the mirrors. He realized that the mirrors were not just reflective surfaces, but portals to another dimension.

One night, as he was searching for his children, he heard a strange noise coming from one of the mirrors. As he approached it, he saw the ghostly figure of his children trapped inside. They were reaching out to him, begging him to save them.

Tanya, who was now possessed by the ghost, returned to the farmhouse, her eyes were empty and her skin was cold and pale. She stood in front of Sameer.

Sameer was desperate to save his family and himself from the spirit that had trapped them in the mirrors. He knew he needed help, so he reached out to an old friend, Ravi, who had previously owned the farmhouse.

Ravi was shocked to hear about Sameer's experiences at the farmhouse. He revealed that he had known the farmhouse was haunted, but he had been unable to find a buyer and had been forced to sell it to Sameer. Ravi felt guilty and deeply sorry for what had happened. Sameer contacts a local priest who was known for his expertise in exorcising spirits. The priest arrived at the farmhouse and immediately sensed the presence of an evil spirit. He performed a series of rituals and prayers to banish the spirit but the spirit was powerful to be exorcised easily.

As the Priest began the exorcism at the farmhouse, he quickly realized that the spirit was not just a random entity, but it was a powerful ghost. He learned that the ghost's name was Maya, and she had been wronged in life.

Maya's ghost refused to leave Tanya's body and held her children captive. She had a new demand, she wanted her former fiancé, Amit, to be brought to her.

Sameer, desperate to save his wife and children, reached out to Amit

As Amit entered the scene, it was revealed that Maya was not the innocent victim she had appeared to be. She was a self-obsessed young lady who was obsessed with her own beauty and would spend hours staring at herself in the mirrors. She was also incredibly controlling, always trying to dictate every aspect of Amit's life.

Amit had grown tired of Maya's behavior and her constant demands. One day, in a fit of rage, he killed her and buried her body in the farmhouse's backyard. He then fled the scene, leaving behind a trail of lies and secrets.

The Priest knew that in order to put Maya's spirit to rest, her body needed to be found and given a proper burial. After a search, Maya's body was discovered in the backyard of the farmhouse, buried shallowly.

With Maya's body was finally found and given a proper burial, her spirit revealed the shocking truth to the Priest. She revealed that this farmhouse was actually her own and it was where she had been killed not just by her fiancé Amit, but also by her Stepbrother Ravi. . Maya explained that Ravi was jealous of her beauty and her relationship with Amit. He feared that she would take away his inheritance. So, he plotted with Amit and killed her in a fit of rage.

Maya's spirit was filled with anger and wrath. She revealed that she had been using the mirrors in the farmhouse to tell her story and to seek revenge. She had been possessing Tanya and controlling her children, Bunty and Sweety, to make the family suffer as she had suffered.

With this new revelation, the family was horrified and couldn't believe what they had just heard. Amit, feeling guilty and ashamed of his past actions, begged for forgiveness.

The Priest was horrified and couldn't believe what he was hearing. Maya's spirit finally had her revenge. She killed both Ravi and Amit in the farmhouse.

The family was finally able to find closure and move on with their lives, but the memory of what had happened at the farmhouse would stay with them forever.
