Major and Gullu are two unemployed young men who aspire of becoming exorcists and ghostbusters in order to earn their living after watching a lot of horror movies since their childhood. They stay at a rented house where they always pray to their close friend 'Raka' to help them alleviate their poverty through a statue of Raka that they had obtained while digging across a hill. One fine day they decide to host a ghost Halloween party at midnight after seeking permission from Raka and they make arrangements for the same. At midnight, Raka's glowing eyes suddenly shut down. In order to mend Raka's eyes, Major and Gullu illuminate the light source of the eyes by connecting it to a live wire. Unfortunately, both of them are electrocuted during this maneuver and fall unconscious to the ground.
During their state of unconscious, they enter into a different realm of the dead altogether, where they happen to meet Ragini, a benevolent ghost who promises to help them achieve their desires and wealth in return for a favor that she would ask them to do later on, which they aren't supposed to refuse at any cost. Mesmerized by her beauty and charm, both Major and Gullu fall flat for her and agree to help with her business dealings. The deal was to help attain moksha (salvation) for depraved souls by exposing the criminals who had wronged those souls while they were living. In return for this favor, both Major and Gullu would earn a lump amount of money and they would have to contribute a certain proportion of their earned money to the families of those depraved souls so that the souls are satisfied and they attain salvation. After Major and Gullu regain consciousness, they are surprised to see Ragini in their house who had appeared in their dream. It is now that they realize that they had tampered across the netherworld during their state of unconsciousness.

Inspired by Ragini's idea both Major and Gullu start their own "Phone Bhoot" company and Ragini helps them in their business. Their business eventually grows and the phone booth company attains enormous fame. This is envied by Atmaram, an evil Tantrik who learns of the Phone Bhoot company and plans to destroy them by summoning certain witches and ghosts. But Atmaram's attempts to harm Major and Gullu are thwarted by Ragini. Soon Atmaram learns that this ghost Ragini who is protecting both Major and Gullu is none other than the deceased lover of the late king "Raja Dushyant Singh" and both were murdered on the highway through a car crash which was actually an evil plot designed by none other than Atmaram himself in order to end Dushyant's reign as king and thereby confiscate his power and wealth. So Atmaram captures Ragini in a bottle during the day of the lunar eclipse using his evil Tantrik powers as Ragini's powers were weakened during that time. After the capture of Ragini, both Major and Gullu feel dejected and deceived because they later realize that Ragini had used them to their advantage and manipulated them to seek revenge on Atmaram for the murder of her lover Dushyant whose soul was now held captive by Atmaram in his treasury of magic bottles.
When they are about to part ways, they are confronted by another benevolent ghost whom they had liberated during one of their past exorcisms using Ragini's help. This ghost reveals to them that Ragini is in dire trouble and requires their help for one last time in order to free many souls from the trap of Atmaram including that of Dushyant. On learning this, both Major and Gullu enter Atmaram's cave and confront him in a severe magical battle where they deceive him through sinister tricks and liberate Ragini and Dushyant who in turn liberate the other souls that are trapped. The combined powers of all the souls then manage to push Atmaram to the underworld where he is caught up in hell fire. Ragini and Dushyant reunite happily in their metaphysical form and assure Major and Gullu of future help whenever needed.
