Xen (Rehaan Engineer) is a popular hairdresser with a curious gift -- he can read the thoughts of people by touching their hair. Of course, such ability comes at a price. Following a bizarre accident, which took the lives of his parents at a young age, Xen has emotionally withdrawn from his surroundings, save the insights he experiences by handling hair. His regulars include Tanya Ruia, a wealthy socialite who is afraid to reveal that her finances has slipped; Mittal, a business professional who enjoys inflicting pain; a pair of college friends secretly in love with each other; and Xen's friend, Rage, whose dreams of film stardom are rapidly vanishing. Eventually, he meets Nikita, a beautiful debutante who seems to have no inner life at all. Soon Xen finds himself attracted to her and the silence that she brings. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Anita Gates, New York Times
Very little of consequence can be said of the film ... other than that it is quieter and more realistic than the Bollywood spectacles that are India's best-known movies.
-
David Blaylock, Village Voice
Bose shows depth when he deals directly with Xen's loneliness.
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
Satisfyingly offbeat.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Smartly designed and richly photographed, this film is an idiosyncratic charmer -- and a lot more.
-
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
The film is not strange in the David Lynch-Nicolas Roeg psycho-puzzle sense, but it does feel like an experiment in a my-first-movie sort of way.
