| 18 | Maya (Sahi), the beautiful but extravagant wife |
| 19 | of a country doctor (Sheikh), craves a |
| 20 | glamorous life and has a series of love affairs |
| 21 | (Khan, Babbar) while becoming indebted to |
| 22 | Lalaji (Rawal). The film ends tragically when |
| 23 | her house is auctioned and she appears to be |
| 24 | engulfed by her fantasy life. The story is |
| 25 | narrated in flashback as a reconstruction of the |
| 26 | life of Maya (also meaning ‘illusion’). An Indo- |
| 27 | European co-production, the film is formally |
| 28 | and thematically ambitious, adapting Flaubert |
| 29 | while revisiting a range of Indian film and |
| 30 | television genres which are shown to shape |
| 31 | Maya’s fantasies. |
