Aaaah is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language horror anthology directed by the duo Hari & Harish. The film follows three friends—Thamizh, Cherry, and Singaram—who are drawn into a wager by a wealthy former classmate named Prosper. To prove ghosts exist, they must capture evidence on camera at five supposedly haunted locations: Japan, Dubai, the midsea of the Bay of Bengal, a highway in Andhra Pradesh, and a remote ATM booth in Tamil Nadu. They fail to record any apparitions, risking a 60 crore prize. However, they learn of a pen drive belonging to Bosskey, a security company owner, that shows footage of a ghost killing an ATM watchman. Bosskey demands 50 lakhs for the drive. Cherry seeks the money from Prosper, but he harasses her instead. That night, Cherry receives a panicked call from her lover Salim, who utters "accident." The trio finds Salim dying; he recounts how he and friends watched an unreleased movie from a CD, and the events onscreen began happening to them in real time, killing them all. Salim buried the CD, but before the three friends can retrieve it, the ghost kills them. Prosper wins the bet, claiming his prize—a Yamaha RX 100—but is then killed by the ghost at his door. The film stars Gokulnath, Bobby Simha, Meghna, and Bala Saravanan, and was released on 28 November 2014 to mixed to positive reviews.

Reader's Guide
The friends later learn of a video footage showing a ghost killing ATM watchmen, stored on a pen drive owned by Bosskey, the security company owner. Bosskey demands 50 lakhs for the pen drive. Cherry approaches Prosper for the money, but Prosper behaves indecently with her. That night, Cherry receives a call from her lover Salim, who utters 'accident' in shock. The friends find Salim dying; he records a narration about a CD containing an unreleased movie that causes real-life incidents to mirror the film, leading to the deaths of his friends. The three friends are killed by the ghost before they can retrieve the CD. Prosper wins the bet, reclaims his prize—a Yamaha RX 100—and is killed by the ghost after answering the doorbell.
