Story
from wikipedia
The movie is narrated by two puppets, voiced by Naseeruddin Shah and his real-life wife Ratna Pathak Shah. Enthusiastic young Lachchi (Rani Mukerji) is to be married to Kishen (Shahrukh Khan), the son of the rich merchant Bhanwarlal (Anupam Kher). Kishen is a dutiful son who honors his father's wish to start a new, far-away business on a predetermined auspicious date, which happens to be the day after the wedding ceremony. On the wedding night, Kishen turns away from his wife to finish his bookkeeping, and in the early morning hours sets off on a business trip that is to last five years. Lachchi is devastated; Gajrobai (Juhi Chawla), her husband's sister-in-law, consoles her, empathizing on the grounds that Gajrobai's husband (Sunil Shetty) has also disappeared. The next day, a ghost appears, having taken Kishen's shape and voice because of his own attachment to Lachchi.
Lachchi is thus presented a riddle (hence the title "paheli") between the representation of all of her desires in the form of the ghost and her real husband. She takes this new, fond, sexual, magical, social, self-confident version of Kishen as hers. As Kishen, the ghost befriends all of the real Kishen's family and keeps Bhanwarlal happy by providing him with magical, possibly illusory, gold coins. His only blunder is in his treatment of the messenger Bhoja, who is perplexed by the idea that Kishen has sent a letter from his business trip only to receive it himself in his own house and offended when the ghost (who appears as Kishen) does not offer him a drink of water. Lachchi's bliss goes on until four years later, when she is pregnant and the real Kishen realizes that he misses his wife. He returns to find the ghost in his (Kishen's) own form. Kishen's family is unable to determine which of the doppelgangers is the real Kishen (the ghost refusing to confess. They decide to visit the king so that he can arbitrate. On the way to the king they meet an old shepherd (Amitabh Bachchan) who helps them out. He asks the real son of Bhanwarlal to pick up hot coals, asks the real husband to gather the sheep, and asks Lachchi's real paramour to enter a water-bottle. The real Kishen is found out and everyone returns home. Lachchi is devastated over the loss of the ghost. In the very end it is revealed that the ghost has escaped the bottle and taken control of Kishen's body in order to live with her. By now Lachchi has given birth to a daughter, Looni Ma, by whose identification the ghost exposes his identity to Lachchi.
Reviews
1. BBC by Jaspreet Pandohar
The mere presence of superstar Shah Rukh Khan is usually enough to make millions of Bollywood fans across the world jump with glee. But when he's playing a friendly ghost dressed in a comedy turban and moustache, you can bet your bottom dollar you are in for a treat. However Amol Palekar's Paheli, a romantic fairytale about a spirit who takes on human form after falling in love with a young Indian bride, is more subdued than supernaturally spectacular.
Lachchi (Rani Mukerjee) is distraught when husband Kishen (Khan) leaves her the morning after their wedding under the instruction of his greedy father (Anupam Kher).read full review...
2. Planet Bolleywood, by Abid
On the whole ´Paheli´ is fantasy joyride for the whole family, with a slightly slow first half (though livened up by some excellent special effects) and a thrill a minute second half. But the lovely Hariharan song ´Khali hai tere bina dono ankhiyan´ should be edited out as it slows the pace of the movie. Shah Rukh´s scenes with Rani are wonderful, specially their romantic scenes and the one where he owns up that he is not a human. The final climax scene standout, not to mention the light scenes between Shah Rukh, Anupam and Rajpal Yadav.
Muneesh Sappal´s sets bring authentic Rajasthani ambience to the screen and Ravi K. Chandran´s cinematography is there to capture it in the rich and vibarant colours (which are not gawdy) and will rate amongst his finest works. read full review...
3. Apun ka choice by Nitika Desai
The moment Paheli begins, you know that it is a fairytale. The sandscapes of rural Rajasthan, the vibrantly colorful dresses of its denizens, the rustic ambience, all of it transports you into a mirage-like world.
And yet, when the movie gets going, you find yourself completely immersed in it as if it were real life. Such is the mastery of Amol Palekar, who has adopted a simple and thought provoking folktale onto celluloid for this unforgettable cinematic experience called Paheli. read full review...
