The story begins with Ekendra Sen, accompanied by his close friends and frequent collaborators, Bapi (Suhotra Mukhopadhyay) and Pramatha (Somak Ghosh), embarking on a leisurely trip to Varanasi. Their intention is to enjoy the spiritual and cultural ambiance of the ancient city. However, their vacation quickly takes an unexpected and chilling turn when they become embroiled in a complex murder mystery.
The central mystery revolves around the death of renowned history professor and art collector, Professor Ananda Mukhopadhyay, whose demise is initially ruled a natural death. However, soon after, a series of strange and seemingly unrelated incidents, including other suspicious deaths and the disappearance of valuable artifacts, begin to occur. Eken, with his keen eye for detail and his signature, somewhat eccentric approach to detection, realizes that these events are interconnected and point to a larger, sinister plot related to ancient Banarasi artifacts and their dark history. The film blends elements of mystery, adventure, and the familiar humor that defines the Eken series, as the trio navigates the labyrinthine alleys and spiritual aura of Varanasi to uncover the truth behind the “Bibhishika” (horror) gripping the city.
