Paap

The story is about a young girl, Kaaya, living in the valley of Spiti, waiting to join a Buddhist monastery—an idea that has been fed to her since childhood by her father and one that she has never questioned. When Lama Norbu, a senior lama from the monastery, has a dream that the Buddhist teacher Rinpoche has been reborn, he sends Kaaya to Delhi to bring him back to the monastery. Kaaya goes to Delhi and manages to get the child, but just when they are about to return home, the child witnesses the murder of a police officer in a hotel. The investigations are taken over by another police officer, Shiven, who prohibits Kaaya and the young boy from returning home. During this time, the boy identifies Raj Mehra as the murderer. Soon Shiven finds himself in a web of intrigue and deceit where he can trust no one. He is forced to escape to Spiti along with Kaaya and the young boy, whom he is now determined to protect. Shiven has, however, seriously been injured, and upon reaching Spiti, he has to undergo treatment at Kaaya's home. While nursing him back to health, Kaaya is attracted to Shiven, an exciting feeling she has never experienced before. Shiven too finds himself drawn to Kaaya, a girl unlike any he has ever known. Kaaya is caught in a dilemma, for she has too long subdued her basic instincts and desires in her search for the 'ultimate truth. ' A sexual attraction is one that her conditioned mind sees as a sin, but one she cannot deny.
