This is a mystery like no other, and I mean it. In story and suspense it is a class apart.
A newly married couple goes on a vacation to a heavenly spot and the wife goes missing. The husband goes to the cops and informs them about the missing better half.
The cop doesn't take it seriously as the couple had had a tiff on the previous night, he is sure she will return soon after her anger dies down.
And sure enough the husband gets a call from a priest saying that his wife has come to meet him at the church. The husband goes to meet his wife and sees that there is an imposter there pretending to be his wife.
He tries to explain to everyone that the woman is not his wife, but she knows so much about him, and she goes on to prove to the cop and the others that she is the original wife, and not a duplicate like the husband claims.
What's more, it seems that she is right! And everyone believes that she is who she says she is.
But then why is the husband lying? What is happening? Because only one of them can be right. If the husband is right, then the woman who claims to be his wife is an imposter and his wife's life might be in danger!
But if the woman is right, then why is the husband lying?
Or is there another, more deadly option between these two? Something more sinister, more lethal, more mysterious...
As this is a film which is a mystery, suspense from the get go there is a humongous twist in the end. One does know that in a film like this there will be a twist, and the climax does not disappoint!
The actor from Mash (Mike Farrel) plays the distraught husband here. I saw this film solely because he was the lead in it. It was Mike Farrel film, but I remember it now as a superb film which had Mike Farrel is one of the actors in it. The film is way greater than the sum of its characters.
Unfortunately, this film was remade in Bollywood once again, blatantly copied, slaughtered, murdered, killed, butchered... it was shamelessly called Khoj (Bollywood, I tell you!).
