Paap - 2004

Story

The movie begins in the beautiful mountainous valley of Spiti in Himachal Pradesh. Kaya (Udita Goswami), a quiet and reserved girl, is given an important task by her community.

It happened that the religious head ? Rimpoche ? from a monastery in Spiti had a vision about his master's reincarnation in New Delhi as a six-year-old boy Llahmo (Madan Bhiku). Kaya is given the responsibility of bringing the child to the monastery.

Kaya

has been raised in a disciplined environment by her stern Father, who believes that one must resist one?s desires and temptations to reach to the ultimate truth. Her has conditioned her to believe that she must sacrifice in this life to have a better next life in reincarnation.

So, Kaya comes to New Delhi but things become tougher for her after Llahmo becomes a key witness to a case involving the murder of a key police officer. The case is under Shiven (John Abraham), a righteous police officer. He is a practical man who doesn?t believe in superstitions and reincarnations.

He finds is difficult to believe that Llahmo is the reincarnation of Rimpoche?s master. On these issues Kaya argues with Shiven many times, but deep inside she also agrees with him. She feels drawn towards him, but she keeps repressing her emotions because of the values and principles she has imbibed from her father.

As the case gets more complicated, Shiven decides to help Kaya and manages to get her and Llahmo to Spiti. He even sustains few serious injuries in the process and is asked by elderly in the village to stay there for some time until he gets well again. But this stay will only increases the intimacy between him and Kaya, much to the chagrin of her priggish father.
