The teaser opens with the chilling melodies of ‘Ami Je Tomar,’ instantly transporting viewers back into the eerie atmosphere of the franchise. A nod to one of the original film’s most iconic moments is evident when Manjulika, in a display of her supernatural strength, lifts a heavy chair in a fit of rage, echoing her earlier act of lifting a bed with ease.

A pivotal moment in the teaser features Kartik Aaryan’s character, who dramatically questions, ‘Kya Laga tha kahani Khatam hogayi?’ (Did you think the story was over?).
