Soon, she is possessed by the spirit of Savithri (Kaveri / Mithila Naik), who was ditched by her fiancé Nanjappan / Mahendra (Riyaz Khan). With the help of Kaali, it is the now the turn of Savithri and her brother (Ganja Karuppu / Sharan / Ali) to take revenge.

==Critical reception== ;Tamil version ''Sify'' wrote "The special effects and graphics are just ok; otherwise there is nothing in the film.

;Kannada version ''Deccan Herald'' opined that "With most films boasting of superior, state-of-art technology, "Bombat Car" looks like a pathetic attempt to win back the traditional audience of such films - women and small children.
