However, the show underwent a significant transformation with the introduction of the Vikraal Aur Gabraal segment, and subsequently, the Trikaal and Darr, Sabko Lagta Hai arcs. This shift marked the transition from pure horror to a mix of horror and fantasy. The introduction of characters like Vikraal (a ghost buster) and Gabroo (his reluctant assistant) added a layer of camp and comedy to the narrative. While the die-hard horror fans missed the pure terror of the anthology episodes, this new format allowed the show to explore longer story arcs. It introduced concepts of good versus evil on a cosmic scale, bringing in mythological elements that resonated deeply with Indian audiences accustomed to stories of Dev (gods) and Danav (demons).

"Ssshhh Phir Koi Hai" explored various themes, including reincarnation, karma, and the supernatural. The show delved into the idea that the soul continues to exist even after death and that past life experiences can shape our present. The series also touched on social issues like family values, friendship, and love.
