A terrifying childhood story surfaces in which a dark supernatural power, in the form of a Daayan witch enters the lives of the two children and their father. Bobo and Misha are shown to live with their Dad in the family apartment with their mother having died some time earlier. Bobo is seen reading a book of Witchcraft from which he discovers the number 666 and uses it to travel on the apartment elevator to some unlisted floor at the bottom of the building, which he confides to Misha as being the entry to hell. According to Bobo, each building has its own hell, where the bad people of the building are consigned for eternity once they are dead. Soon after Bobo and Mishas trip on the elevator, a woman named Diana Konkona Sen Sharma moves into the building. Bobo is convinced that she is a witch and that she has surfaced from down under following his and Mishas trip on the elevator.Diana immediately charms Bobos single father and agrees to babysit the kids. She soon becomes a part of the family by marrying Bobos father, although the paranoid Bobo still believes shes a witch. Meanwhile, Bobo learns from the book that the source of a Daayans power is her plait, while that of a Pishacha is his neck. On Dianas birthday during the night of the red moon she convinces the kids to a game of hide and seek in an attempt to sacrifice Misha in order to restore her dark powers. As she begins to look for the kids, Bobo peeks through his hideout to see what shes doing. Bobos father returns claiming to have forgotten his files and goes to look for them while Bobo goes to check on his sister. Finding the door locked Bobo begins to panic which brings his father to the door. Bobos father knocks down the door only to find Misha lifeless in the trunk and a now undisguised Diana hovering over her body. Enraged, Bobos father attempts to choke Diana but in vain as the now rejuvenated Diana kills him with her earpiercing screams. Diana moves to the window to perform the rest of her ritual. Bu
