Their lives turn upside down when they discover that the room adjacent to theirs, which has been locked for years, might be haunted. The boys, driven by a mix of machismo and curiosity, decide to investigate. What ensues is a hilarious first half where the boys try to "exorcise" the ghost using engineering logic—creating traps, motion sensors, and even a "ghost catcher" made from discarded lab equipment.
The second half introduces a twist: the ghost is not a malevolent spirit but the restless soul of a former student, Janaki (Diana Miss Joy), who died under mysterious circumstances. Instead of being scared, the boys decide to help her move on, leading to a series of laugh-out-loud situations involving fake priests, misguided tantric rituals, and a climax that is surprisingly heartfelt.

For film enthusiasts and digital archivists, the specific release tagged as remains a significant reference point.

The Plot: When PG Life Meets Paranormal Activity The film revolves around a set of engineering students living in a chaotic men’s hostel—the "Adi Kapyare Kootamani" (a Sanskritized Malayalam phrase jokingly meaning "Great Mathematics Congregation," though used ironically here). The protagonist, Jayesh (played by the versatile Neeraj Madhav), shares a room with a quirky group: a religious fanatic, a casanova, a simpleton, and a senior who speaks only English.
