The story begins with Roy, a young man haunted by the mysterious death of his grandfather years ago. Neither the police nor doctors could determine the cause of his grandfather’s sudden demise, leaving an eerie question mark over the incident. Two years later, while cleaning the storeroom of his house, Roy stumbles upon an old, dusty box containing his grandfather’s diary. The words "Bhootiya Mahal" are ominously written on the cover.
Intrigued, Roy begins reading the diary. It details his grandfather’s visit to a hotel named Bhootiya Mahal in a small town in West Bengal, where he encountered strange, supernatural occurrences. The entries describe unsettling events, leaving Roy wondering whether they were real or mere stories penned by his grandfather.
The next day at college, Roy shares his discovery with his two best friends, Rick and Raj. He recounts the diary’s chilling tales about Bhootiya Mahal. Rick, the skeptic, dismisses it as fiction, saying, “Ghosts and haunted hotels don’t exist!” Raj, more adventurous, proposes a thrilling idea: “Since summer vacation is coming up, why don’t we visit this Bhootiya Mahal and see if it’s real?” After some hesitation, Roy agrees, curious to uncover the truth behind his grandfather’s writings. Rick, though doubtful, joins in for the adventure.
The trio plans to set out for the hotel in four days, once their college break begins. The diary mentions that Bhootiya Mahal is located in a small town in West Bengal. Raj, excited, says, “Perfect! We’ll explore West Bengal and investigate your grandfather’s mystery.” Rick teases Roy, “Stop overthinking, man. Let’s go see this so-called haunted hotel.”
Later that evening, the friends meet at a local tea stall to discuss their trip. Roy brings the diary, and as they flip through its pages, their curiosity deepens. Raj volunteers to book train tickets to West Bengal, while Rick remains unconvinced, insisting it’s all a made-up story. Roy, however, can’t shake the feeling that the diary holds secrets about his grandfather’s fate. “What if something really happened to him at that hotel?” he wonders aloud.
Four days later, Roy, Rick, and Raj embark on their journey to Bhootiya Mahal. As the train chugs toward the small town in West Bengal, questions swirl in their minds: Will they uncover the truth behind Roy’s grandfather’s mysterious death? Is Rick’s skepticism justified, or does Bhootiya Mahal hide a sinister secret? Their adventure is about to unfold, promising thrills, chills, and perhaps answers to long-buried questions.
