[edit] Blurb
The evil don Sir Judah has his eyes on the estate and business empire of the eminent businessman Shanta Prasad Verma. But Shanta Prasad's son Ravi Verma foils Sir Judah's attempts to take over the estate. Sir Judah is mute (and communicates by tapping on glasses or tables, interpreted by his henchman Mac Mohan). He recruits the barmaid Kamini to seduce Ravi, marry him, eventually murder him and then take over the estate. Kamini seduces Ravi and they marry. They are on their way home to the Verma estate in Ooty. Ravi plays a somewhat sinister melody on his guitar. (This tune eventually comes back as the super hit song Ek Hasina Thi... that holds the key to the movie. Music, it turns out, plays a very important role in this tale.) Their jeep suddenly runs out of water. Kamini seizes the opportunity and brutally murders Ravi (by running him over with the jeep) on the lonely highway. The only witness to this event is a small stone statue of the goddess Kali. Kamini then usurps the Verma estate and banishes the original Ranimaa (Shanta Prasad Varma's wife, played by Durga Khote) and daughter Jyoti from the mansion. She takes over the entire estate, thus effectively double-crossing Sir Judah.
Flash forward to 25 years later. Ravi Verma is now reborn as a young and successful singer named Monty Oberoi. Though Monty and Ravi look different their soul are exactly same (he was born so he can exact his revenge with Kamini). He was born and orphan but was taken in by the cunning businessman Mr. Oberoi. Mr. Oberoi exploits Monty's talent to his selfish personal gains and treats Monty without affection or respect. Also, Monty suffers from hallucinations and nightmares, usually triggered whenever he listens/plays that familiar tune. The psychiatrist advises Monty to take a vacation. Monty picks Ooty as his vacation spot.
As Monty travels around Ooty, he finds many of the sights and sounds more than familiar: the hills and valleys, the Verma estate, the lonely highway (where the old Kali statue has now become a small temple), they trigger something in Monty's subconscious and intensify his hallucinations. Monty now has a slight suspicion about the new Ranimaa/Kamini. Monty also meets his lady love Tina. Tina's uncle Kabira is a small time crook. He engages in petty thievery and extortion with his two henchmen Daiyan The Right and Baiyan The Left. Kabira was present at the Verma estate the night of Ravi Verma's murder; he knew there was something sinister about it (connected to Kamini) but didn't know exactly what it was.[1]
