Ripples Entertainment's last venture, Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar, certainly succeeded in keeping the audiences in their own homes. But they bounce back with Roshni, which promises to be "a love triangle with a fresh look". The "Fatal Attraction" theme was last successfully executed in Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya.
Although the essence of Roshni hints at a similar theme, it seems the film is a little more complex. By adopting a murder mystery streak and an extra angle to the love triangle it successfully steers away from comparisons with its predecessors.
The film opens up on the
banks of the river Thames, London, with a distressed Rohan (Bikram
Saluja) awaiting the outcome of the rescue operations that are taking place around
him, for his wife,
Roshni, (Kiran Zaveri). When he reveals the picture of his wife to the
police, who are interrogating the unfortunate incident, we are taken back to the time when
Rohan and Roshni first met.
The affluent Brit, Rohan, returns to India to attend his cousin's wedding where he falls for Roshni and marries the Indian girl in quick succession. On returning back to England as Rohan's bride, Roshni soon learns of Rohan's recklessness.
His impulsive ways encourage
him to engage in a post-marital affair with a sultry Londoner,
Maya (Kashmira Shah). Roshni's accepting of and adapting to this new
woman in Rohan's life allows room for Maya to dig her claws in more.Divorce is inevitable
which puts Roshni on the streets of London. In solitude she fortunately meets an out of
work Lawyer,
Ajay (Milind Soman), who uses his "know how" to get Roshni her due
rights.
As Rohan's memories bring us to present day we are confronted with what guarantees to be a fiery and soul-searching finale; as the tag-line suggests "Love is silent... Sometimes violent"!
