Synopsis
Young, beautiful and intelligent Maya (Deepa Sahi) lives with her father in a palatial mansion in rural India. When her father suffers stroke, she calls for local Dr.Charu Das, who arrives on his bicycle and prescribes treatment for her dad. He comes pretty often, more on the pretext of seeing her than her dad. Eventually they get married. Years pass by and Charu is busy engrossed in treating patients, leaving Maya alone to ponder her own fate and life. And it is not long before a young man named Rudra enters her life and an affair follows. This does not last long, as a much younger man Lalit (Shah Rukh Khan) now enters her life and begins another passionate affair. But again, Maya is not satisfied as she longs for more bodily needs and it is perhaps this that leads to her sudden death leaving two investigators to probe who or what really killed Maya.

The movie has a controversial topless scene of Deepa Sahi which was cut from the theatrical release version due to objection from the censor board...
