The story revolves around the demon
Ifrit and Auladhchakra, a
satanic cult in
Bangladesh that seeks to perpetuate the bloodline of Ifrit. The cult abducts women and summons a male demon to have intercourse with them, so that they may be impregnated with the demon’s offspring. Professor Qasim Ali once led a group of vigilantes who tracked down women impregnated by Ifrit, held them captive until they gave birth, and then immediately killed the demonic infants by decapitating them and sealing their heads in glass jars. This drew opposition from the villagers; despite some initial support, the group was ultimately disbanded due to its violently radical methods. Rukhsana is the daughter of one such woman, a victim of the ritual who escaped captivity before Professor Ali could kill her child. Arnab is a young man who owns and operates a printing press. Piyali, a nurse, is due to enter into an arranged marriage with him. While returning home in heavy rain, Arnab and his parents accidentally run over an elderly woman. After the woman dies, the police search her home—an old hut in the forest—and discover a dishevelled Rukhsana chained inside. Feeling sympathetic and responsible upon realising she has no one, Arnab takes her in. Rukhsana knows nothing of the modern world and is frequently troubled by demonic visions. Arnab finds her strange but endearing, and as they spend time together, she falls in love with him. Meanwhile, a mortuary assistant discovers that Rukhsana’s mother bears the cult’s mark on her skin and informs Professor Ali, who has been searching for Rukhsana for years. One night, Rukhsana falls ill. Although Arnab mistakes this for her
period, in reality her body must expel the poison it produces each month due to her demonic blood. She secretly kills a dog by biting it and releasing the poison. Later, she confesses her love to Arnab, and the two have sex. The following morning, Professor Ali confronts Arnab with the truth about Rukhsana, but Arnab refuses to believe him. The mortuary assistant fights Arnab and injures him. In retaliation, Rukhsana kills the assistant and then positions herself between Arnab and Piyali, overcome with jealousy. When Arnab argues with her, she seizes him by the throat and lifts him off the ground. Disturbed, Arnab realises that Professor Ali was telling the truth and begins researching Ifrit. He learns that Ifrit offspring are born after one month rather than nine. Arnab contacts Professor Ali, who arrives with his men. At that moment, Rukhsana reveals to Arnab that she is pregnant with his child. The professor’s men restrain and torture her so that she dies from her own poison. Although she cries out for Arnab, he leaves in despair. Three weeks later, Piyali visits Arnab at his parents’ home, and he tells her the truth about Rukhsana. Through this conversation, he realises he should not have abandoned her, as it was he who impregnated her, and the child is his. After enduring repeated beatings, Rukhsana breaks free and kills the professor before making her way to Piyali’s home. She injures Piyali but then goes into
labour. Unable to kill her, both because she is a nurse and due to her own past experience with an
abortion, Piyali instead helps Rukhsana deliver the baby, which is born with an
umbilical cord. Rukhsana leaves the child with Piyali and disappears. Arnab rushes to the old hut, where he finds Rukhsana close to death. He embraces her as she struggles against the urge to bite him and release her poison, choosing instead to keep it within her body. Before dying, she tells Arnab that their baby is human. In the end, Arnab concludes that Rukhsana’s love made their child human, rather than Ifrit’s hatred, and he resolves to raise the child himself. ==Cast==
