1920: Evil Returns (2012)

In 1920, Jaidev Verma is a famous poet who lives as a loner as Jaidev is unable to meet the love of his life, Smriti. Jaidev and Smriti got to know each other through an exchange of letters and slowly fell in love. While travelling at night, Smriti is attacked by a Possessed Badrinath, Smriti's driver. One of Smriti's employee visits and informs Jaidev that Smriti had died in an accident. Jaidev's sister, Karuna keeps Jaidev motivated. Jaidev finds an unconscious girl near a lake and brings her home. After gaining consciousness, she is unable to remember anything from her life except Jaidev's poems. Karuna becomes skeptical of her presence in the house and gets even more skeptical when an undertaker warns Jaidev and Karuna of an evil spirit inside the girl.

Jaidev is insistent on keeping the girl at home since Jaidev feels a connection with the girl. Jaidev names the girl as Sangeeta. Sangeeta experiences frightening phenomena, vomiting iron nails and seeing ghosts in her room. Jaidev takes Sangeeta to a hospital but the haunting continues. As the doctor is unable to treat Sangeeta, he suggests visiting another advanced hospital in Shimla. Jaidev and Sangeeta stay in a hotel on their way to Shimla. Outside the hotel, Sangeeta gets attacked by Possessed Badrinath, regains her memory and understands that she is Smriti. Sangeeta is possessed by the ghost and Jaidev brings Sangeeta to his house. Jaidev turns to the cemetery keeper, who warned about the possession earlier, for help. With the cemetery keeper's help Jaidev understands that Sangeeta is actually Smriti. Jaidev visits Smriti's address to find out the truth and discovers that Karuna had come to Smriti's house earlier, asking about Smriti. Jaidev returns home and finds Karuna's body hanging in the forest with suicide notes around.

From Karuna's suicide notes, Jaidev learns that his best friend, Amar, who envied Jaidev's success, had a sexual relationship with Karuna. When Amar discovered that Jaidev loved Smriti, he stole one of the love letters to find Smriti's address. Karuna confronts Amar about the letter. But he blackmails Karuna and she hides everything from Jaidev. Amar went to meet Smriti, posing as Jaidev, and took Smriti to his new residence which is under construction in Shimla. Eventually Smriti understands Amar's deceit and confronts him. Amar confesses his plan to Smriti while assaulting her. Smriti pushed Amar away and he fell to his death. Smriti and one of the employees hid Amar's corpse inside his residence. Amar's spirit is now possessing Smriti. Jaidev burns Karuna's corpse.

The cemetery keeper warns Jaidev that the spirit is very vengeful and has to be deceitfully taken to the place where Amar died. The cemetery keeper explains that once Smriti touches Amar's corpse, Amar's spirit will have to leave Smriti's body and return to Amar's corpse and the corpse can then be set on fire, destroying Amar's spirit. While doing this, Smriti must not know where Smriti is being taken; else the spirit will also know. Smriti is fully wrapped in a sacred cloth and taken to Amar's partly constructed house by Jaidev, the cemetery keeper and two of Jaidev's employees. The floor cracks and one of Jaidev's employees trips and the sacred cloth moves away from Smriti, awakening the spirit. The possessed Smriti kills all except Jaidev.

Jaidev is badly injured in the battle against the spirit. The spirit in Smriti's body eats the remains of the cemetery keeper's body and seemingly burns Amar's corpse, thus forever remaining in Smriti's body. Jaidev helplessly pleads with the spirit to kill him, since there is no meaning in letting Jaidev live if the spirit will take Smriti from him forever. Amar's spirit refuses, saying that this is exactly what Amar wanted: for Jaidev to suffer. Jaidev cuts a rope attached to a loft in the ceiling; a corpse falls on Smriti. It is revealed that Jaidev and the group had hidden the real corpse of Amar in the ceiling as a precaution. Amar's spirit leaves Smriti's body and enters the corpse. Enraged, Amar's corpse tries to kill Smriti, but Jaidev saves Smriti and sets Amar's corpse on fire, thus destroying Amar's spirit. Jaidev and Smriti consummate their union.
