Thus Mahesh begins to recount to three strangers he meets his obsession with an ill-fated couple. Skeptical, then intrigued, Arvindbookseller, recently married, stifled by yet comfortable in a joint family, banker Ranjansurface polish, seething passions; and Dev Reddydisenchanted left-wing editor desperate for immortality will interpret Maheshs confession according to their own insecurities and fantasies, pushing each to actions that will alter their lives and their dear ones irrevocably. Mahesh too will not be the same again.
