A Peacock spreads its mesmerizing wings underneath the scorching blue sky. Vibrant puppets descend from the gnarled branches of an ancient tree. Golden sands of an endless desert keep on swirling. And a beautiful folk tale from Rajasthan comes to life in PAHELI. Once upon a time, there was a lovely girl who was married to a man who was only interested in making money. There was a Ghost who fell madly in love with her. On the wedding night itself, the husband left the home for five long years on account of his business. The ghost took on the husband's appearance and entered her life. A few years later when the husband returned home, the villagers and the relatives were bewildered how this situation gets resolved is the PAHELI.

Paheli is the dilemma of the girl who had to choose between the Ghost's Eternal love and her husband's insensitive monotone…

Paheli is the dilemma of the husband who had to face rejection from his own people…

Paheli is the dilemma of the Ghost who wanted to be Human and yet remain sincere and honest to his love…

Paheli is the dilemma of the parents who accepted an adorable son who was not their real son…

Paheli is the dilemma of the villagers who had to decide whether to live with the ambiguity or to resolve the riddle…

Paheli is based on a legendary story "Duvidha" written by literary Statwart Vijaydan Detha. Keeping the simplicity of the original folk form intact, Vijaydanjee has added contemporary dimensions in his story that stand monumental in Indian literature.
