While he wishes his last book " KALCHAKRAJAN" to be the bestseller, the book even fails to attract any attention from the readers. Next in an award show, Sudip gets badly humiliated by an young bestseller author who got the best literary award for 2019 that very day. In completely blind anger, he slaps the author then and there infront of everyone and leaves the hall.

But the rituals of Bittalini are way more dangerous and creepy than one can even imagine. According to ' Triratnayana ' (a fictional Vajrayana cult), Bittalini is known as the 'Vrama yogini ', one who creates the deadliest illusions. As Sudip begins his 45 days long ritual, he gets deadliest hallucinations, paralyzing visions of his own dark past and witnesses horrible creatures from different realms of the universe. As the ritual progress, Sudip gradually looses his mental control and his Bittalini Sadhana becomes more and more difficult and deadlier than ever.
