Commercially, the film was a blockbuster. It ran for over 25 weeks in Mumbai and over 50 days in major cities like Pune, Nashik, and Kolhapur. It proved that Marathi audiences were hungry for genre cinema beyond social dramas and mythologicals.
The story follows Lakshya (Adinath Kothare), a young boy who moves into a new bungalow with his mother. Unbeknownst to them, the house is haunted by the spirit of a ruthless gangster, Tatya Vinchu , who was killed by a police officer. Seeking vengeance, Tatya’s ghost possesses a vintage ventriloquist’s dummy—transforming the innocent-looking puppet into a chilling, wisecracking, and bloodthirsty villain. zapatlela marathi picture
