Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship

Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship

Meera's third birthday is celebrated on the Sea-Bird by the ship's merchant crew. Drawn away from the party by a noise, Meera is attacked by a ghost and screams. Years later, shipping officer Prithvi Maurya (Vicky Kaushal), with the help of his friend and colleague Riaz, elopes with his pregnant girlfriend Sapna. Prithvi foils a human trafficking operation, but Riaz warns him against such dangerous adventures. Sapna gives birth to their daughter, Megha, and they are shown raising her. Some time later, Prithvi is living alone. He and Riaz investigate the Sea-Bird, which was mysteriously found abandoned at an unmanned port, and recover its logbook. A couple is shown on a romantic adventure on the ship before being killed by a ghost. The body of a girl is found buried on the beach. Prithvi and Riaz attempt to tow the Sea-Bird away for disposal, but their salvage ship is damaged. Prithvi is injured while saving a drowning man and sees a girl through a hole in the ship. While recovering, Prithvi hallucinates the ship, as well as Sapna and Megha. In a flashback, it is revealed that they drowned because of improper safety equipment on a river-rafting holiday he had planned. Disturbed, he consults Professor Joshi (Ashutosh Rana), who is researching the afterlife and has hallucinations of his own dead wife and daughter. Prithvi returns to the ship and finds a video camera in the engine room; the ghost attacks him, but he is saved by Riaz.
