What begins as a journey of faith... ends as a fight for survival.
Four close friends - Ajay, Kiran, Sneha, and Ramesh - set out on a sacred pilgrimage through the dense forests of Kerala, seeking divine peace and spiritual answers. But a wrong turn leads them into Pathalapuram, a cursed and forgotten village buried in the shadow of failed rituals and restless souls.
As night falls, devotion turns to dread. They encounter ghostly visions, haunted symbols, cryptic rituals, and whispers of a priest's broken vow. One by one, their bond is tested by fear, faith, and forces beyond the physical world.
To escape, they must uncover the truth behind an ancient yagna, confront lingering spirits, and complete a ritual abandoned long ago. But salvation comes with sacrifice - and the goddess isn't finished with them yet.
Pathala Yatra is a deeply atmospheric horror-thriller that blends realistic spiritual horror with ancient temple lore, guilt, and redemption. With emotional weight and chilling suspense, it asks one question:
Can devotion survive when the gods go silent?

One Last
Fifteen years after a reckless childhood ritual unleashed an ancient curse upon their remote village of Nilgiri, five friends-Nahid, Nishita, Mukta, Adil, and Keya-reunite at the urging of their once-fearless leader. Drawn back to the abandoned village nestled in Bangladesh's mist-shrouded hills, they confront the malevolent force they unknowingly awakened years ago at the cursed shrine of Bhuter Thaai-the "Spirit's Seat." As the group navigates the decaying, sentient house and the eerie silence of the forsaken land, they realize the curse never left. Shadows twist into unnatural forms, whispers echo from the earth itself, and the village's hunger grows. Bonds fracture under the weight of guilt and fear, and one by one, the friends succumb to a darkness that consumes both body and soul. Told through Mukta's harrowing perspective, One Last weaves a chilling tale of supernatural horror, where the land itself is alive with ancient wrath. Trapped between survival and sacrifice, the friends must confront not only the entity stalking them but the secrets they buried long ago. As the line between reality and nightmare blurs, the final question lingers: Can anyone escape the grip of Nilgiri, or will the mountain claim its last soul? Themes: Haunting pasts, cosmic horror, the price of curiosity, and the fragility of human resilience. Tone: Eerie, suspenseful, and claustrophobic, with an atmosphere steeped in dread.Complete
