The plot is linked with its previous film Bhoothnath. When Bhoothnath alias Kailash Nath (Amitabh Bachchan) enters Bhoothworld (Ghosts' world) he is mocked there and questioned about his abilities as a ghost as he was unsuccessful to scare any child. In order to redeem himself he goes back to Earth where he tries his best to scare kids and is unsuccessful again. Only a boy named Akhrot (Parth Bhalerao) can see him in his true form. Akhrot is not scared of Bhoothnath and helps Bhoothnath to scare a few children. In return, he asks Bhoothnath to act scared of him and to run away from a haunted house while he chants mantras in front of his friends, so that his friends can accept him in their cricket team. Bhoothnath decides to help him further by helping him earn money by scaring ghosts out of under-construction high rises. In the process, he gets to know about Bhau (Boman Irani), a former criminal who is now a corrupt politician. After having seen the amount of corruption in India and encouraged by Akhrot, he decides to contest the upcoming elections. Soon, the rivalry between Bhoothnath and Bhau heats up, to the extent that Bhoothnath sacrifices his powers in order to win. One day before the elections, a Parivartan rally is to be held by Bhoothnath to encourage a high turn-out on election day. Bhau's men threaten to kill Akhrot unless he prevents the rally from happening. Akhrot refuses and is ready to face the consequences. On the day of the rally, Bhau's men injure Akhrot grievously for his non-compliance. Bhoothnath leaves his rally to be with Akhrot in the hospital. He goes to Bhoothworld and begs for Akhrot's life. They tell him that if Bhoothnath wins the election, they will spare Akhrot's life. Meanwhile, Bhau uses Bhoothnath's absence at the rally to his advantage and tries to influence the audience to vote for him. However, on election day, we see that the majority of the public gave their vote to Bhoothnath. The next day, waiting anxiously for the results, Bhootnath suddenly sees Akhrot's heartbeat rising and realises that he has won the elections. The film ends with Akhrot regaining consciousness and everybody celebrating the success of Bhoothnath.
