Plot
Harsh Tandon, a workaholic businessman, announces a new merger to his subordinates. His daughter Tanu, a model dating photographer Rahul Saxena, returns home to flickering lights and a strange voice from her brother Sam's room. She finds a skull in his closet and an ominous figure scares her; Tanu calls her mother Shalini, and the figure is revealed to be Sam, who announces he will run away to America because no one appreciates his jokes. The next day, Shalini asks Harsh for a family road trip, but he refuses due to business focus. On his way to work, Harsh sees a young girl crossing the road, stops the car, and finds no one; he asks his chauffeur to drive elsewhere instead of the office. Harsh consults a psychiatrist, who suggests hallucinations and a break from work. On a date, Rahul asks Tanu about her father's distant behavior. At his office, Harsh hallucinates a spectral figure staring at him. After the psychiatrist's advice, he decides to go on a family vacation. He learns his manager died on-site from an accident, gives subordinate Tyagi responsibilities, and has a small talk with a man named Satish. The Tandon family prepares for vacation, and Tanu convinces Rahul to join. They stop at a petrol station; Tanu buys snacks and bumps into a mysterious man in black. Sam tells a joke to liven the family, but no one laughs. After fueling, the road is blocked due to an accident, so Harsh takes a longer route without signs or lights. The family spots the same man from the petrol station on the road; he asks their destination, but they do not respond, while Sam jokes about having a corpse in the car.
