In a nutshell the film, the film is a love story interlaced with spiritualism. It's a love story between a high caste girl, Shwetambhari (Urmila Matondkar), and a low caste guy, Soham (Ashmit Patel).

The story even goes to the next level. When the guy is mysteriously murdered, his fiancé, Shwetambari becomes a spiritual person. So now we don't need to tell you that it's a depressing kind of film.

Although one tried hard to watch the film knowing what to expect, we have to say that it was below our expectations. At the end of it all, we walked out of the cinema hall with a desperate yearning for an entertainer. But to give credit to the maker and the main actors, they've done a superb job.

The story- Shwetambari (Urmila Matondkar) is the daughter of rich Brahmin parents, (Dimple Kapadia and Raj Babbar). She studies Physics at the Benaras Hindu university. Soham (Ashmit Patel) is a low caste music teacher at the University. We forgot to mention Babaji (Naseeruddin Shah), who's been dead for years but assumes a human form at times to help people in need. He is hovering around Soham most of the times as his guardian angel.
