Arjun Ashokan's character opens the two-minute, twelve-second film by bragging about encountering the infamous ghost Sumathi while on one of his road trips. However, he is also depicted as a scaredy cat who is plagued by dreadful images of this ghost and the Sumathi Valavu road, which seems difficult to navigate at night. In the meantime, the locals in their town similarly characterise Arjun's character and his pals as carefree and unemployed young people. Soon, the trailer offers a terrifying look at Sumathi Valavu's story. Overall, it suggests that moviegoers will have a harrowing experience in theatres this weekend.
