She wants to find the love of her life before she is past marriageable age. She has only one friend in life is a musical ghost named Aatma (Namit Das).
One fine day she comes across a book Laal Pari and reads it back to back. Strange events begin to happen in her life from there on.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie in my free time because it looks average from the trailer.
At a time when the horror-comedy genre needs reinvention, this is an interesting premise, despite being a remake of a foreign film. However the screenplay gets repetitive and fails to get you hooked. While you wait in anticipation for something to happen, when it does come it doesn’t shock you at all. Yes, the film has an interesting twist in the end but getting there seems long and laborious.
Aafat-e-Ishq is quite fresh in terms of the central idea. It features a unique angle that is highly relatable because of its small-town setting, beliefs, lore, and quite a unique ending with Japanese folklore adapted to Indian storytelling. Positioned as a romantic comedy horror this film suffers as the elements overshadow each other and don’t blend in well. The story starts to get repetitive, more so when it becomes clear that several characters and subplots have been introduced into the narrative with the sole aim of lengthening the runtime. But for the viewer it gets tedious and boring to watch the same thing over and over again. We know the fate of the poor humans beforehand and it does get boring sooner rather than later. My view on this movie Not Recommended
