Maya Memsaab

Synopsis

Young, beautiful and intelligent Maya (Deepa Sahi) lives with her father in a palatial mansion in rural India. When her father suffers stroke, she calls for local Dr.Charu Das, who arrives on his bicycle and prescribes treatment for her father. He comes pretty often, more on the pretext of seeing her than her father. Eventually they get married. Years pass by and Charu is engrossed in treating patients, leaving Maya alone to reflect on her own fate and life. And it is not long before a young man named Rudra enters her life and an affair follows. This does not last long, as a much younger man Lalit (Shah Rukh Khan) now enters her life and they begin a passionate affair. But again, Maya is not satisfied as she longs for more than bodily needs. All the time this bored housewife gets attracted to costly objects and spends recklessly on clothes, furniture etc even if she has to borrow. She mortgages even her house to Lalaji. Finally reality catches up with her. Lalaji brings court order to take possession of her house. Her friends (Rudra , Lalit) desert her and it is perhaps this that leads to her sudden death, leaving two investigators to probe who or what really killed Maya.
