, another film based on the similar theme of extra sensory perception.
After shooting her last video she decides she wants to go home. Despite the darkness, she discovers a dead body on the middle of the road.
From this moment on Divya has visions from the future, rather than an art it becomes like a curse for Divya, all she sees is brutal murders. In her visions all she's is dance-bar girls being stabbed, strangulated, suffocated to death by a killer whose face continues to elude Divya’s clairvoyance.
Then comes a cop, Rohan (Ashmit Patel). He is investigating murders of bargirls in the city. A serial killer is on the loose and Rohan has the case to nab him.
Rohan buys Divya’s story (about her visions of murders) but his female assistant Sujata (Koel Purie) does not. Taking help of Divya’s clairvoyance, he begins to zero down on prime suspects that include a doctor, a fugitive and an eccentric-alcoholic uncle who frequents bars regularly.
As the movie goes on Divya is next for the murders list. Could this be the same person that killed the person on the road that night?
It turns out that Sujata is the serial killer. Her husband slept with a bar girl who passes AIDS to him. And in turn he gave the disease to Sujata. From then on, she develops a dislike for the bar girls in the city and goes on a killing spree. She dies at the end by falling off a building.
