Gaami

Gaami

Shankar, an amnesiac Aghora suffering from haphephobia, is banished from his Ashram after the other Aghoras mistake his condition for a curse from Lord Shiva. Guided by Sudama, an empathetic ashramite, Shankar travels to Prayagraj in search of Kedar Baba, the Aghora who once brought him to the Ashram. There, Kedar Baba's disciple informs him that he has died, but reveals the existence of Maalipatram, a bioluminescent mushroom hidden in the Himalayas that can cure his condition if consumed within a specific 15-day period occurring once every 36 years. Jahnavi, a doctor researching the mushroom's medicinal potential, joins Shankar on the journey. Elsewhere, Durga, a terminally ill Devadasi in a South Indian village, wishes to reconcile with her estranged daughter Uma, who resents her for abandoning her during childhood. Uma eventually learns that Durga became a Devadasi to ensure her safe birth during a difficult pregnancy, and the two reconcile. After Durga's death, however, the village chieftain forces Uma to succeed her mother as the village Devadasi. Parallelly, in an illegal medical facility known as C. A. T, a captive identified as CT-333 undergoes brutal conversion therapy under Dr. Bakshi and his assistant Tara. CT-333 attempts to escape with the help of another inmate, but the plan fails. Later, during an electrocution procedure, the system malfunctions, leaving him severely traumatized.
