The film is a remake of the Marathi movie Zapatlela (1993) which itself was inspired by 1988 Hollywood film Child's Play. The film was an average grosser at the box office.
In the film, a haunted doll is possessed by the spirit of a recently-deceased gangster. The doll starts killing people, while trying to gain a new human form. A ventriloquist is blamed for the murders and arrested.
Plot[edit]
The film begins with Gangaram, a deadly gangster, approaching the powerful wizard Malabar Baba and acquiring the knowledge of Parakaya Pravesha, which means one's soul entering another's body. After that, Inspector Mahesh, a sheer cop, onslaughts on him. Gravely injured, Gangaram lands at a post office and transfers his soul into a doll nearby. Besides, Rambabu, a ventriloquist at Eluru, is a nut who mocks everyone with his talent that pesters his mother Parvatamma. He falls for his neighbor Lakshmi, the daughter of Head Constable Nukka Raju. He blackballs their love affair, considering his avarice to knit Lakshmi with his subordinate Cola. As a flabbergast, Rambabu receives delivery of the doll holding Gangaram's soul, which his cross-cousin, Sowmya, bestows from the US. From there, it makes his life miserable.
Meanwhile, Sowmya returns to pursue a Ph.D. in Criminal Psychology. Accordingly, she is acquainted with Mahesh, and they fall in love. Once, Rambabu insults his house owner, Janardhan Seth, in the show, and he seals his belongings, including the Gangaram doll. Whereat, Rambabu furious stride on him, so far, the doll slays Janardhan Seth, perceiving the dirty deed. Just after Mahesh lands with Sowmya, he judges Rambabu as a hitman and arrests him. Gangaram currently absconds to Hyderabad and contacts Malabar Baba to transform into a mortal body. Affrightened, Baba reveals that he can attain 1st person who knows his secret, i.e., Rambabu. Hence, he backs up with his henchman, Deva. Parallelly, the post-mortem report frees Rambabu as nonguilty.
Here, Gangaram endeavors to gain Rambabu's body through various means when he freaks out, but the public announces him insane. Discerning the doll is the key driver of the mishap Sowmya has on hand to dispatch. The same night, it attacks her to seek vengeance on Mahesh, but she somehow skips. Next, she rushes to Mahesh and states the facts. During the interval, Mahesh finds Malabar Baba's whereabouts and approaches him. He proclaims the solitary way to destroy Gangaram is to shoot between his eyebrows before he enters Rambabu's body, and they speed. At last, Gangaram is an onslaught on Rambabu when Mahesh shields him by successfully eliminating Gangaram. Finally, the movie ends with the marriages of Rambabu & Lakshmi and Mahesh & Sowmya.
