Did 'Delulu' love Prabhendhu?

Initially, to earn money, Prabhendhu works as a part-time priest with his cousin. However, things soon change. One night, after performing a puja, he feels something strange and encounters a ghost. However, the ghost behaves friendly. Prabhendhu names the ghost Delulu (Riya Shibhu). Unlike horror stories, Delulu does not harm anyone, but gradually becomes a part of Prabhendhu's life. Gradually, Delulu begins to impact Prabhendhu's daily life. She gives him courage, motivates him, and helps him face his fears. In fact, Delulu also helps him better understand his emotions. As the film progresses, Prabhendhu begins to fall in love with a woman named Sadhya. Delulu notices this and often teases Prabhendhu. However, something is amiss, leading viewers to believe Delulu is connected to Prabhendhu in some way that has yet to be revealed.

Why is 'Prabhendhu' surprised after listening to 'Delulu'?

As the movie progresses, viewers see Prabhendhu and Delulu returning from meeting Sadhya. At that moment, Delulu confesses her feelings to Prabhendhu and confesses that she loves him.

Later, Delulu begins to reminisce about her past, recalling her meeting with Prabhendhu and the moments they spent together. Only then does she discover her real name, Maya Mathew, a woman who died with unfulfilled and unresolved feelings. After revealing her name, Maya finally finds peace and begins to disappear, indicating that her soul has finally been set free.
