The narrative pivots around the relationship of two sisters, older sister Anjali (Shabana Azmi) is a successful professor with a powerful personality. She is the anchoring rock for her family and carer for her sister Meethi whose progression into schizophrenia has been speeded up by traumatic experiences. Anjali has always dominated the life of her attractive younger sister, and jealously warded off Meethi's handsome fiancé Jojo (Rahul Bose) with fear of Meethi's impending illness. Years later when Meethi and Anjali are on holiday in the Hills there is a chance meeting with Jojo, now with his new wife and children. He is shocked to discover that Meethi does not now recognize him, but lives in a world visited by an imaginary husband and children of her own.

a masterpiece work of art. The tight direction, strong performances, realistic background sound/music can hold any art movie lover till the end. The ending has been handled in the most practical way possible which leaves everyone thinking about - 'whose reality is more real' ? Defenitly a must watch for Konkana sen and Shabana Azami fans.
This is a masterclass in the world of cinema by Aparna Sen. The movie has been beautifully scripted and for the intellectual mind offers an endless array of thoughts to ponder on after having seen the movie. I would recommend this movie over and over again!
