Beautiful Lachchi (Rani Mukherji) is engaged to a miserly man whose every move is driven by his insatiable love of money. When Lachchi's husband departs for a five year business trip on the night of their wedding, her supernatural admirer takes on his appearance and thus begins an elaborate ruse. All is well until Lachchi's husband returns home five years later, bewildering the villagers and forcing the confused wife to make the most difficult decision of her entire life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
