action

The young Indian policeman Indra Sen enters the house of the famous older artist Goutam Sadhu to investigate the case of the disappearance of a man named Arjun, about whom the last known news was that he had paid a visit to the artist. He is greeted by his beautiful young wife Ahalya. In the reception room he immediately becomes aware of a few decorative dolls that are placed on the mantelpiece, because two immediately fall down and make noises. Ahalya has an answer to this, because every time someone new enters the house, something like this happens, a real puzzle. While the policeman waits for the owner, he discovers that the doll that is at the very edge looks exactly like the missing Arjun. Ahalya's husband Sadhu then appears, who explains that all these men once posed for him personally for it. In the same room there is a sand-colored stone behind a small glass cabinet. Indra Sen learns something unbelievable, that the stone has magical powers and that everyone who touches it transforms into who they want to be. Sadhu also reports that Arjun knew about it and claims that he may have used it. The artist himself had to leave the room briefly to bring his wife the cell phone, which she forgets every time. When he returned, the visitor was gone and the stone was on the ground. Indra Sen finds this story unreliable and now has to arrest the older artist because he is responsible for Arjun's disappearance. Sadhu then asks him to use this stone himself. If there really isn't any truth to it, the policeman can prove that the older man is guilty. But if what sadhu said does happen, he is innocent. It gets a little creepy for Indra Sen, but eventually he does. After touching the stone, he goes to Ahalya to bring the cell phone back to her. When she arrives, she begins to talk seductively to him, as if he were someone close to her. The policeman then looks into a mirror hanging next to them and sees Sadhu on it. Indra Sen finds out that the stone really transformed him. Ahalya tells 'her husband' to chase the policeman away and come back to her immediately. Indra Sen is completely confused. In the hallway he takes a few breaths and returns. For a moment he still has the orientation where they sit in bed together, only to find themselves stiffened on it and cast in stone on the same mantelpiece where the other dolls are already standing. A new visitor is received by the Sadhu and Ahalya. A cry for help from Indra Sen, beyond human reach, and the decorative figure, Sadhu's newest creation, falls down as a riddle that happens every time someone new enters the house.
