Wajood - 1998

Story

Malhar (Nana Patekar), who is born to a poor typist clerk, is a versatile character who wins trophies in dramas but is never appreciated by his father. While writing and directing dramas in his college he meets Apoorva (Madhuri Dixit), a very rich girl, and falls madly in love with her. When she wins the Best Actress Award, she calls upon Malhar on stage and gives all the credit to him. Malhar misunderstands this gestures as Apoorva's love for him.

Meanwhile Apoorva and Nihal (Mukul Dev) fall in love with each other. Nihal's father, who is a wealthy bureaucrat, decides to get them married. Malhar assumes that this marriage is against Apoorva's will and in his protest Nihal's father is accidentally killed. Malhar is sent to jail. As Nihal loses his identity and status by his father's death, Apoorva's father breaks off her engagement. In jail, Malhar spends his days thinking of Apoorva, getting married to her, having a child and living happily with his father; all in one family.

Malhar escapes the jail and then starts making quick money out of wrong ways. He starts seducing rich women and then looting them. Nihal, a police officer now, happens to meet Apoorva, a journalist now, to solve the mystery of the 'stranger murderer' in the city. Finally when Malhar comes face to face with Apoorva, she tells him that she'd never loved him. Heart-broken Malhar is then caught and dies in the end.
