This is a Hindi language film starring Vinod Khanna and Dimple Kapadia.

Technically you may categorise this as a horror film, and yet there are no scary scenes in the film. The film is definitely haunting, because it'll stay with you forever after you watch it. Brilliant story, direction and performances are the highlights of the film. The lyrics by Gulzar (who was also the director) and singing by Lata Mangeshkar (who was also the producer) won National awards. Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Amjad Khan and Hema Malini are excellent in their roles - Vinod Khanna stands out! Set in the deserts of Rajasthan, Gulzar is at his best with his directorial skill - the story keeps moving while seeming slow, and doesn't feel boring at the least - instead keeps you intrigued until the end.

The film is about a government officer who has come to evaluate a palace in ruins. Strangely he able to connect and communicate with a spirit that is unknowingly stuck in time. How he goes about redeeming her and the challenges faced form the crux of the him. The questions and contradictions throughout including the end of the film justify the title.

A must-watch!
