Ghoul is based on the Arabic folklore monster ghoul, and the myth of jinns.
A dreaded terrorist Ali Saeed (Mahesh Balraj) is sent to a new prison at a military detention centre. While being interrogated by a new interrogator Nida Rahim (Radhika Apte), he behaves very weirdly and exposes the shameful secrets of his captors. When Nida starts the hunt for the truth, it turns into a battle for survival as this ignites a series of horrifying and supernatural events.
