Soon, Revathi, who suffers from [[claustrophobia]], deduces [[poltergeist]] activity in the house, and so, she tells Bala that they have to go back to [[Chennai]]. Anand enjoys the presence of the ghosts and does not find any problem. Problems come up between the couple that they had never thought of when they ~~had~~ love marriage. Soon, Revathi discovers that they did not come on holiday, but in fact, came to escape some rowdies that Bala owes money to. This is when Bala's classmate and business partner Jeeva arrives to stay with them. His company had borrowed 40 lakhs from a rowdy, and over the months, it had increased to 50 lakhs, but he is unable to pay back any money as his agent, who was supposed to give him two crores, runs away and is nowhere to be found. With the help of ghosts, Bala and his family find a way to escape from being kept under [[house arrest]]. Bala's partner, who has been jealous of him, had the money the whole time to pay the rowdies. ~~With~~ the ~~help of~~ the ~~ghost, Bala takes revenge~~ of ~~his partner and family and destroys~~ the ~~curse left upon the house~~.		15 years after an accident in which Bala's parents died, Bala returns with his wife Revathi and son Anand to his hometown.
