Gajraj is called in to investigate the mysterious happenings. His investigation leads him to Mary Mathews who is somehow linked to the disturbances that happens to Rawats.

It is then revealed that Dr. Aditya and Dr. Shruti Rawat killed a coma patient, Amy R Mathews and did a heart transplant to one Anjali Malhotra. The spirit of Amy goes into Anjali who becomes Mary Mathews. The Rawats confess their crime and go to jail while Amy's spirit is freed.

Bollywood Hungama gave 2.5/5, saying "Sabbir Khan's story is decent though it gets clichéd at places", and "The scene where the fan comes flying towards Aditya and Shruti is terrifying. One might guess that the film will take a certain path. But it doesn’t and that makes the suspense unpredictable." Performances of all actors is praised.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/adbhut/critic-review/adbhut-movie-review/adbhut-is-a-watchable-horror-film-despite-its-minuses/|title=Adbhut Movie Review: ADBHUT is a watchable horror film, despite its minuses|first=Bollywood|last=Hungama|website=Bollywood Hungama |date=15 September 2024}}
