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.
