#Phobia hindi movie story series

Following the success of her previous films Manjhi - The Mountain Man and Ahalya Apte was contracted by Rajani to play the main character in the film. Pre-production work on Phobia began in the last quarter of 2015 when Viki Rajani announced his plans of making a new project with debutant Pawan Kripalani. The film was made under the collaboration with Eros International and Next Gen Films. The film was directed by Pawan Kirpalani, and the screenplay was written by Pawan Kirpalani and Arun Sukumar. Amrita Bagchi as Jiah, Mannu's girlfriend who suddenly disappears.Nivedita Bhattacharya as Anusha Deo, Mehak's sister.Satyadeep Mishra as Shaan, Mehak's friend.Radhika Apte as Mehak Deo, a young, gifted artist suffering from agoraphobia.

In the climactic scene, her vision once again coincides with reality, as we see a painting she created earlier, showing hands reaching out to her, mirrors the situation in which she is injured and goes out in the open for help, overcoming her condition. She locks up Shaan in her bedroom and exits her building in a daze finally having overcome her fear. Shaan calls for an ambulance after preserving her severed digit in her freezer.

Shaan's attempts to calm her result in her finger getting severed accidentally. In a paranoid delusional panic she attacks him with a knife. She then concludes that she's the one who's going to be killed by Shan (who she realises is the intruder and that she is the wounded woman with her finger severed). During the resulting confrontation between them, since the exact sequence of events occurs just like her visions, Mehak realizes that they were premonitions of her future. When Shaan confesses that he has always loved her and tries to kiss her, she spurns him and berates him furiously, accusing him of exploiting her weakened state of mind. Jiah then reconciles with a reformed Manu, confirming that Mehak was mistaken leaving Mehak questioning her very reality. Jiah suddenly arrives and confronts them regarding Mehak's call to Jiah's parents. This prompts her to call Jiah's parents to convey her suspicions, though Shaan is sceptical.

Mehak concludes from the diary that Manu killed Jiah, convinced by Jiah's sudden departure, Manu's seemingly questionable behaviour and a series of vivid visions she has of what seems to be Jiah's death like a severed finger in her freezer, a red knife on her bathroom floor (identical to one she saw in Manu's hands earlier), a male intruder in her bedroom and a wounded woman in her bathtub. Mehak comes across Jiah's diary chronicling her tempestuous and abusive relationship with Manu due to his temper issues. Jiah had earlier lived in Mehak's new apartment and suddenly disappeared without a trace without paying rent and without claiming her advance deposit back leaving behind most of her belongings. Manu is devastated because his girlfriend, Jiah Khurana (Amrita Bagchi), has left him. Her other neighbour Manu (Ankur Vikal) is working on anger management issues and is part of a community laughter club. At the new apartment, Mehak befriends Nikki ( Yashaswini Dayama), a college-going girl who lives in the neighbourhood. Shaan (Satyadeep Mishra), a close friend, takes Mehak to an empty apartment, on the assumption that living alone for a while might benefit her. Mehak's sister Anusha ( Nivedita Bhattacharya), initially supportive, becomes exhausted with her eccentric behavior, especially when it starts impacting her own 5-year-old son. An unfortunate traumatic event - being molested by a taxi driver, causes her to develop extreme Agoraphobia, a condition in which the individual is paranoid about being in public places and dislikes socializing with large groups of unknown people.
