About the trailer

The trailer begins with the wedding of Mrunal Thakur and Avinash Tiwary. As they begin getting intimate in their bedroom, the door creaks open and an unseen presence enters. While Avinash seems to be unaffected and addresses her as his granny, Mrunal is scared and worried as she cannot see anyone who Avinash is talking to. Later in the trailer, it is revealed that Avinash’s grandmother is dead.

When Mrunal says this, she is told, “Woh guzri nahi hai, sirf marr gayi hai (She has not passed away, she just died).”

Janhvi Kapoor, on the other hand, plays a nurse named Sameera, who takes care of an elderly patient, played by Surekha Sikri, this segment is directed by Zoya Akhtar. She seems to be anxious by unexpected loud knocks on the door.
