In the 1980s, a meteorite crashes near Shambhala, a village known for its deep history and folklore, triggering a series of disturbing events. Villagers begin behaving strangely, with some harming or killing themselves, leading many to believe that an evil force has arrived. A scientist named Vikram comes to investigate, relying on science rather than superstition. As he studies the meteorite, hidden secrets about Shambhala’s past, its deity, and the mysterious woman Devi start to unfold, revealing the truth behind the strange deaths and the village’s dark history.
