Synopsis
Young, beautiful, and intelligent Maya lives with her father in a palatial mansion in rural India. When her father suffers a stroke, she calls for local Dr. Charu Das, who arrives on his bicycle and prescribes treatment for her father. He continues to come to her house often, more on the pretext of seeing her than her father. Eventually, they get married. Years pass by and Charu is engrossed in treating patients, leaving Maya alone to reflect on her own fate and life. It is not long before a young man named Rudra enters her life and an affair follows. This does not last long though, as a much younger man, Lalit, enters her life and they begin another passionate affair. But again, Maya is not satisfied as she longs for more than carnal needs. Time and time again, this bored housewife gets attracted to costly objects and spends recklessly on clothes and furniture, even if she has to borrow money. She eventually is forced to mortgage her house to a man Lalaji. Finally, reality catches up with her. Lalaji brings a court order to take possession of her house. Rudra and Lalit desert her and this leads her to drink a mystical drink that was earlier being advertised on the streets to give you one wish on the condition you had a pure heart. The drink causes her to flash brightly and disappear. This leaves two investigators to probe who or what really killed Maya.
