Seas of the Banished
Sherdil Shergill aka Major (Siddhant Chaturvedi) and Galileo Parthasarthy aka Gullu (Ishaan Khatter) are two unemployed young men who aspire of becoming exorcists and ghost busters in order to earn their living after watching a lot of horror movies since their childhood. They want to make a career out of their fascination with the morbid. They have tried many ideas such as a horror themed restaurant, A scare based singing show, birthday parties for kids with ghost uncle and bhoot-tube. They stay at a rented house where they always pray to their close friend 'Raka' to help them alleviate their poverty through a statue of Raka that they had obtained while digging across a hill. One fine day they decide to host a ghost Halloween party at midnight after seeking permission from Raka and they make arrangements for the same. At midnight, Raka's glowing eyes suddenly shut down. In order to mend Raka's eyes, Major and Gullu illuminate the light source of the eyes by connecting it to a live wire. Unfortunately both of them are electrocuted during this maneuver, and fall unconscious to the ground. During their state of unconscious, they enter into a different realm of the dead altogether, where they happen to meet Ragini (Katrina Kaif), a benevolent ghost who promises to help them achieve their desires and wealth in return for a favor that she would ask them to do later on, which they aren't supposed to refuse at any cost. Ragini reveals that she is a ghost. While coming back from the party, the duo hits Chikni Chudail (Sheeba Chadha) on the road. As she lays unconscious, the duo notice that her feet are backwards and they to fix it by turning her feet around. But the feet keep springing back into the original position. Ragini watches this secretly, that the guys were not scared or disgusted by the Chudail. The guys like Ragini's plan, but don't like the fact that they will be defrauding people, as Ragini pretends to enter their bodies as a ghost and Major & GUllu would act as exorcists to get her out.. They want to be legit ghost-busters. when Major & Gullu explain their plan to be ghost-busters to their parents, they are both ridiculed. Their parents demand the money that they spent on their educations, which comes to rs 5 crores (with GST). If they fail to repay the amount in 3 months, they would have to give up the ghost business forever. Major & Gull set up their entire operation and start their company. They don't get a single client in many days. A lady then calls saying her daughter is acting weird. They go to her home, excited to have their first case and find a little girl, Dolly, locked in her room, and flying around, possessed by a demon. Gullu brings the ghost, Lavanya (Anuksha Suguna Pushparaj), under control when he figures out that the ghost is Tamilian and by showing her a picture of Thalaiva. Gullu orders Lavanya to leave the girl's body. She reveals that she wanted revenge from Dolly's dad, who had killed her in a hit and run. Due to her death, her parents are living a life of poverty. Thats when Ragini arrives and convinces Lavanya to leave Dolly alone and in exchange Gullu & Major will give half of their fee (from the job) to her parents. This will be her route to salvation. The guys ask for Rs 10 lakhs as fee and give the entire amount to Lavanya's parents. Lavanya leaves the mortal realm, in peace. Mesmerized by Ragini's beauty and charm, both Major and Gullu fall flat for her and agree to help with her business deal. The deal was to help attain moksha (salvation) for depraved souls by exposing the criminals who had wronged those souls while they were living. In return for this favor, both Major and Gullu would earn a lump-some amount of money and they contribute a certain proportion of their earned money to the families of those depraved souls, so that the souls are satisfied and they attain salvation. Inspired by Ragini's idea both Major and Gullu start their own "Phone Bhoot" company and Ragini helps them in their business. Their business eventually grows and the phone bhooth company attains enormous fame. This is envied by Atmaram (Jackie Shroff), an evil Tantrik who learns of the Phone Bhoot company and plans to destroy them by summoning certain witches and ghosts. Atmaram uses depraved souls to perform evil tasks for him, in exchange for salvation. But instead of salvation, Atmaram would only capture their souls in a bottle, and keep them in storage forever, and hidden from the other depraved souls still working for him. Rahu (Manuj Sharma) & Ketu (Shrikant Verma) are his minions. Ragini senses that Atmaram has figured out Gullu & Major's location. She tells them her story. She was a doctor and met Raja Dushyant Singh when he was injured in a polo match. Dushyant proposes to Ragini, but soon after both are hit badly in a road accident. Ragini died. Dushyant went into depression and now has decided to commit suicide at the same spot where Ragini died. Ragini wants Gullu & Major to stop Dushyant from killing himself. They all travel to Dushyant's area, where incidentally is also Atmaram is based. Atmaram senses that the trio are entering his area. Atmaram's attempts to harm Major and Gullu (via his strongmen Lady Diana (Daayan) (Nidhi Bisht)) are thwarted by Ragini. Soon Atmaram learns that this ghost Ragini who is protecting both Major and Gullu is none other than the deceased lover of the late king "Raja Dushyant Singh" (Armaan Ralhan) and both were murdered on the highway through a car crash which was actually an evil plot designed by none other than Atmaram himself in order to end Dushyant's reign as king and thereby confiscate his power and wealth. So Atmaram captures Ragini in a bottle during the day of lunar eclipse using his evil Tantrik powers as Ragini's powers were weakened during that time. After the capture of Ragini, both Major and Gullu feel dejected and deceived because they lately realize that Ragini had used them to their advantage and manipulated them to seek revenge on Atmaram for the murder of her lover Dushyant whose soul was now held captive by Atmaram in his treasury of magic bottles. When they are about to part ways, they are confronted by another benevolent ghost whom they had liberated during one of their past exorcisms using Ragini's help. This ghost reveals to them that Ragini is in dire trouble and requires their help for one last time in order to free many souls from the trap of Atmaram including that of Dushyant. On learning this, both Major and Gullu enter Atmaram's cave and confront him in a severe magical battle where they deceive him through sinister tricks and liberate Ragini and Dushyant who in turn liberate the other souls that are trapped. The combined powers of all the souls then manage to push Atmaram to the underworld where he is caught up in hell fire. Ragini and Dushyant reunite happily in their metaphysical form and assure Major and Gullu for future help whenever needed.
