What's it about: 1990u00a0-- A woman wastes away in a mental asylum in Mauritius. Her husband comes to meet her. She mumbles something about making it all stop and go away. Then she picks up a chair, smashes it into a mirror behind her, picks up a shard and slits her neck. Helpless hubby watches on.



Present Day: A star's wife isn't dealing too well with the rumours surrounding her man. They quarrel and he sleeps on the couch. He wakes up to a phone call. His father-in-law has suffered a heart attack. Star and wife head off to Mauritius to visit. They stay at the family mansion filled with huge, eerie paintings of the former inhabitants (they rarely come there). She tells him she's pregnant. Later, she tells him she sees her dead twin sister. The family's dog (who has been caring for it in their absence?) Tracy meets with a nasty end. Wife's behaviour changes. If she was frigid first, she's positively icy now. Next, it's the best friend's turn to die. Star wises up soon enough to dead best friend's fianc ufffde's warning at the funeral: "Your wife needs help." How Bobby Deol (who plays Vic, the film star) goes about helping his wife, Pia (Mugdha Godse) exorcise her demons after nearly drowning her to death, is what the film is about. In the spirit of this film's repetitiveness, he gets help from the parapsychologist (Shreyas Talpade) who had issued the warning mentioned earlier.
