Plot[edit]
Seth Dharamdas has two daughters, Asha and Kajal. Dharamdas has struck a business deal with Dhanraj. Asha marries her love interest Vikas, but he dies in an air crash. Dharamdas cancels his plan to sell the factory and decides to dedicate the factory as a souvenir to Vikas.
Dhanraj doesn't want the deal be cancelled. He bribes Dharamdas's trusted employees Manmohan Saxena, Ashok Gupta and Rita to kill Dharamdas. Dharamdas is on his way to Nainital for a business trip. Dhanraj, Ashok and Manmohan approach him in the train and force him to sign an agreement that makes Dhanraj to be the sole owner of all his riches. The crooks then kill him and bury him nearby. During the fracas, Ashok's knife falls into the grave, but he is in a hurry and can't take it out.
Asha and Kajal are unaware of the truth. They beleive that their father has gone missing. Inspector Anand, an old friend of Vikas, is called to handle the case.
Suddenly, the ghost of Dharamdas starts confronting his killers and they are struck by panic. When they start dying mysteriously, Anand figures out that there is some connection between their deaths and the disappearance of Dharamdas. Anand sets up traps, thinking that Dharamdas is alive and is killing his associates for some unknown reason. When Dhanraj is killed, Anand sees Dharamdas and shoots him. The rest needs to be seen.

Legacy[edit]
- Saboot is considered as Ramsay Brothers most unique horror film out of the bunch of other typical horror films they made which were mostly about bhoot pret, cults, shaitan and chudail. Because unlike their other films this didn't have real ghosts or supernatural incidents but something more unique. The film is available on Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.
