His mother cautions him not to take the route via the graveyard because the occasion was AMAVAS KI RAAT but he doesn't listen. Through the graveyard he hits trees and makes fun of the dead. After a while when the film was over not that interesting and no incident he takes the graveyard route again. But this time he hears clinking sounds. Someone seems to be pursuing him. Then he sees a witch face that's scary and dies of cardiac failure. It is then revealed that the clinking was just coins in his pocket and the witch face was just a poster of the new movie Darna Zaroori Hai.

At times, this 'invisible person' rushes to the kitchen. Sometimes, he makes himself comfortable on the chair. Is the professor hallucinating? The professor tries to explain the situation to a student of his (Ritesh Deshmukh), who revolts and in fact advices him to seek psychiatric help. As the student is about to leave the professor finally is able to show the 'invisible man' which appears to be a ghost like reflection of him (the professor) in the mirror.....

A leading film-maker, Karan Chopra (Anil Kapoor) wants to change lanes. After making a couple of family dramas, he is keen to make a horror film next. He has thought of a main concept: a lone lady who is actually a ghost, takes lifts from men on the highway, enters their house and kills them. He decides to write the concluding portions of his script at his bungalow in Khandala. Before leaving, he tells his crew to shortlist a girl for the film. En route, he spots a lone lady (Mallika Sherawat), she asks for a lift till Khandala. When they reach the film-maker's bungalow, the lady tells him that she's a ghost.

On a rainy night, Ajay Doshi (Randeep Hooda) accidentally bumps into a woman. He is petrified. The next morning, when he opens his eyes, he finds himself in the police lock-up. He is accused of murdering a man. He claims he's innocent. The cop (Zakir Hussain) refuses to buy the story. The mother of the victim (Rasika Joshi) arrives at the police station. Ajay Doshi suddenly is possessed by the spirit of the woman whom he had bumped into earlier. The cop still refuses to believe the fact that Ajay Doshi is possessed. In a turn of events the spirit enters the Cop and now he is possessed by the spirit of the woman. He draws a gun and kills the mother of the victim (Rasika Joshi). Finally the cop realises that it is actually a spirit and they bury the body of the mother of the victim (Rasika Joshi) and Ajay Doshi heads back to where he was going (the woman is actually murdered by the mother, father and her husband). Ajay Doshi had actually committed the murder when he was possessed.
The old lady and five children. Director: Manish Gupta.
The seventh story is the overarching story that contains the other six stories. While the old lady narrates the stories, the children make excuses to go to the bathroom or have a drink of water. When they return to the group they seem strange and aloof. The last boy doesn't seem scared and tells the old lady that there was nothing really scary about her stories. The old lady smiles eerily and tells him that the last story is the most scary, the one in which the lady is the ghost. The boy tries to run at the end when he discovers that he had been sitting alone all the time and all his friends are dead. He tries to open the main door but the handle comes off and eventually is killed by the old lady who is perhaps a witch or ghost.
The lady in the end tells kid that she had told him 6 stories not 5....whereas at that time she had not told him the story of the man who went to take medicine....she told children that he has gone and will come back.....the story was told in the end by the servant himself to the police..
