Amit Barot, the patriarch of the Barot House lives in a serene neighbourhood in Daman with his family comprising his wife, mother, and 4 children- a son and 3 daughters (and the fifth on the way!)
Amit Barot, the patriarch of the Barot House, lives in a serene neighbourhood in [[Daman, India|Daman]] with his family consisting of his wife, Bhavana, mother, and 4 children a son and 3 daughters.


All is going fine, when suddenly, on Diwali, one of the daughters - Shreya - goes missing while playing hide and seek. After one day, her body is found at a graveyard. Soon after, the family and its neighbours get plagued with more ill-fate as multiple killings start taking place in and around the Barot House. Things get complicated because everyone is a suspect. No-one can tell the guilty from the innocent.  
On [[Janmashtami]], one of the daughters, Shreya, goes missing while playing hide and seek. The following day, her body is found in a graveyard. Amit's younger brother Ajay and their neighbour Anthony are suspected for the murder of Shreya. Soon after, the second daughter of the house also dies, and the police suspect Ajay.


Trapped in the middle of thinking
Both Amit and Bhavana become emotionally drained and Amit starts suspecting his son Malhar for the deaths of his daughters after he apparently tried to drown his baby sister Sneha while playing, who was saved by Amit. Malhar even admits it when Amit violently questions him.
bloodfest, Amit and Bhavana's relationship gets strained. Amit's equation with his son Malhar takes a drastic turn. Amit changes from a loving parent to a violent one, often suspecting his 9 year old son to be the culprit behind all the killings, and makes a few failed attempt to kill the boy as punishment.
 
One day Anthony's son Roshan is murdered and Amit tries to hang Malhar to save everyone but he can't. The police question Amit about Roshan's murder and Amit says that Malhar is the murderer. Malhar also accepts it.
 
Malhar then admits himself to the juvenile home. A psychologist questions him to find the fact and fails. He is reluctant to see his father too. They find scars on the boy's back, and when he asks to draw something, he draws pictures of his father murdering the girls with him watching from a distance. But he throws away those drawings and shows one in which he plays [[tabla]]. The psychologist finds the drawings in the dustbin after watching Malhar through CCTV and believes that his father is the killer and Malhar tried to save his father because he worships him.
 
The police question the family again and it is revealed that Amit as well as Anthony's wife Sophia suspect Bhavana and Anthony of having an affair and Amit always suspected Shreya and Shruti to be Anthony's daughters. The police arrest Amit and releases Malhar. Amit tries to attack the boy, and because of this the police thinks he carried out the killings. Amit's wife also does not believe him.
 
After a few days, while Bhavana is upstairs, Malhar throws little Sneha into the well which Bhavana witnesses from upstairs and screams. In the epilogue, Amit is released from jail and Malhar arrested again. Amit and Bhavana adopt 3 daughters and name them Shreya, Shruti and Sneha. They move out of Barot house and never see Malhar again. It is assumed that Malhar has [[schizophrenia]], and he was very cunning for his age to lead the psychologists to believe in his innocence, without uttering a word. He even knew that he was being watched through CCTV. Malhar never explained the reason behind the brutal murders.

Plot[edit | edit source]

Amit Barot, the patriarch of the Barot House, lives in a serene neighbourhood in Daman with his family consisting of his wife, Bhavana, mother, and 4 children – a son and 3 daughters.

On Janmashtami, one of the daughters, Shreya, goes missing while playing hide and seek. The following day, her body is found in a graveyard. Amit's younger brother Ajay and their neighbour Anthony are suspected for the murder of Shreya. Soon after, the second daughter of the house also dies, and the police suspect Ajay.

Both Amit and Bhavana become emotionally drained and Amit starts suspecting his son Malhar for the deaths of his daughters after he apparently tried to drown his baby sister Sneha while playing, who was saved by Amit. Malhar even admits it when Amit violently questions him.

One day Anthony's son Roshan is murdered and Amit tries to hang Malhar to save everyone but he can't. The police question Amit about Roshan's murder and Amit says that Malhar is the murderer. Malhar also accepts it.

Malhar then admits himself to the juvenile home. A psychologist questions him to find the fact and fails. He is reluctant to see his father too. They find scars on the boy's back, and when he asks to draw something, he draws pictures of his father murdering the girls with him watching from a distance. But he throws away those drawings and shows one in which he plays tabla. The psychologist finds the drawings in the dustbin after watching Malhar through CCTV and believes that his father is the killer and Malhar tried to save his father because he worships him.

The police question the family again and it is revealed that Amit as well as Anthony's wife Sophia suspect Bhavana and Anthony of having an affair and Amit always suspected Shreya and Shruti to be Anthony's daughters. The police arrest Amit and releases Malhar. Amit tries to attack the boy, and because of this the police thinks he carried out the killings. Amit's wife also does not believe him.

After a few days, while Bhavana is upstairs, Malhar throws little Sneha into the well which Bhavana witnesses from upstairs and screams. In the epilogue, Amit is released from jail and Malhar arrested again. Amit and Bhavana adopt 3 daughters and name them Shreya, Shruti and Sneha. They move out of Barot house and never see Malhar again. It is assumed that Malhar has schizophrenia, and he was very cunning for his age to lead the psychologists to believe in his innocence, without uttering a word. He even knew that he was being watched through CCTV. Malhar never explained the reason behind the brutal murders.
