Synopsis:Kaalo was a witch who lived in Kulbhata during the 18th century. She was killed and buried by angry villagers for sacrificing young girls to satisfy her greed for immortality, but her fear lived on. Years later, villagers spoke of Kaalo’s sightings yet again. They claimed she was even more angry and dangerous, and she was back to finish what she left incomplete. Kulbhata was vacated overnight by scared villagers.All roads leading to Kulbhata were sealed by horrifying tales of Kaalo killing anyone who dared to enter the village, until a bus carrying eleven passengers on its way to Kuldevi had to pass through Kulbhata.

One of the passengers on the bus was a twelve-year-old girl named Shona (played by Swini Khara of Cheeni Kum), who was travelling alone to spend her vacation at her grandmother’s house in the neighbouring village.

Shona was clever, witty and cheerful. She soon became the life of the journey. Everyone loved her endearing manners. Especially the reclusive and reticent Sameer, who was travelling with a bag loaded with gun powder to blast a small hillock which would give way to a water canal for his drought-hit village.

Badly disfigured and thirsty for blood, Kaalo could smell the girl from miles away, and headed straight for the bus. She would kill everyone who came in her way. When the passengers realised they were staring into death, everything changed. From being the life of the journey, Shona became their very reason for dying. Everyone wanted her out of the bus. Some even used her as a bait to lure Kaalo away. But, one man stood up to Shona. For Sameer, it didn’t matter if Kaalo was a creature or a witch. All he knew was that he has to protect Shona, and time was running out!
