    Ahalya - The Beauty; This Movie - A Beauty.

    In Ramayana, Ahalya was deemed to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She was married to Gautama Maharishi, a man much older than herself. Once when Gautama was away, Lord Indra approached her disguised as her husband getting her involved in infidelity without her knowledge. She was cursed by the sage and turned into stone for her adultery.

    In this brilliant make of Ahalya, a radiant young woman is seen married to an older man. When Inspector Indra arrives at the household of this couple while investigating a missing person's case, he is seduced by Ahalya's beauty. The household is mysterious, and there is something eerie and amiss about the accounts that Sadhu gives the inspector.

    Amidst the interrogation, Indra's gaze is all over Ahalya. But this time, she is ready to turn the tables around. Would Indra give in to his desires over his morale?

    Stuck In The Middle

    It wasn't a thriller at all. At least, it got a few things right, like the soundtrack, the plot and the action. It is quite annoying the fact that it's both in Indian and English. You start losing interest. Anyway, the main character was my point of attention. He did his job well and had a really good interpretation.

    One of the best Shorts!

    Wonderful Scripting...Character names have reference to hindu mythology...such a beautiful interpretation. Indra, Ahalya, Goutam...loved it fully...The direction of the story will hold you to the last...very unpredictable conclusion...loved everything about it...

    Bollywood should move on to Short Movies concept.

    After watching this short film I have google'd the word "Ahalya" because I was totally unaware about the concept behind it, and I found this

    """In Hindu mythology, Ahalya (Sanskrit: अहल्या, IAST Ahalyā), also known as Ahilya, is the wife of the sage Gautama Maharishi. Many Hindu scriptures say that she was seduced by Indra (the king of the gods), cursed by her husband for infidelity, and liberated from the curse by Rama (an avatar of the god Vishnu).""""

    The short movie was brilliant with it's core meaning, Mr Sujoy Ghosh has made a brilliant attempt to make this. It is really shocking for me that how could a 14 minute movie made me so much enthralled with it's story. Radhika Apte being the hot chic was also sincere in her act.

    Bollywood people surely needs to move on to the short movies concept!!!

    Blatant copy

    The writer director has blatantly copied the entire concept of Room 8 and garnered accolades for himself.
