Raiquen Courcelle
A young, enthusiastic Rajasthani village girl, Lachchi (Rani Mukerji), is married off to Kishan (Shah Rukh Khan), the son of the wealthy merchant Bhanwarlal (Anupam Kher), from a distant village. While travelling from her home to her in-laws' home, the party stops to rest at a dharamshala (spiritual dwelling), where a ghost sees Lachchi and falls in love with her. Later that night, it is revealed that Kishan, who is a dutiful son, will honour his father's wish to begin a new, far-away business on a predetermined auspicious date, which happens to be the very next day. Kishan turns away from his wife at night, 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 aunt, consoles her, empathising on the grounds that Gajrobai's husband, Sunderlal (Suniel Shetty), has also disappeared. The next day, the ghost appears in Bhanwarlal's house, having taken Kishan's shape and voice because of his own attachment to Lachchi.
Despite pretending to be Kishan in front of everyone else in the house, the ghost reveals his true identity to Lachchi at night. Lachchi is thus presented with a dilemma between the representation of all of her desires in the form of the ghost who has taken the form of her real husband. She takes this newfound, sensual, magical, social, self-confident version of Kishan as hers. As Kishan, the ghost befriends all of the real Kishan'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 (Rajpal Yadav), who is perplexed by the idea that Kishan 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 Kishan) does not offer him a glass of water.
Lachchi and the ghost live blissfully together for four years, during which he also keeps her in-laws happy and solves many problems of the family and the village. Lachchi then, becomes pregnant with the ghost's child, and the real Kishan returns to see if the rumours about his wife's pregnancy are true. He returns to find the ghost in his (Kishan's) own form at the same time that Lachchi goes into early labour and gives birth to a daughter, Lunima. Kishan's family is unable to determine which of the doppelgangers is the real Kishan (the ghost refusing to confess) and decide to visit the king so that he can arbitrate. In the meantime, Sunderlal also returns home and apologises to Gajrobai for his sudden disappearance for so long and reunites with his family.
On the way to the king, Kishan's family meets an old shepherd, Gadariya (Amitabh Bachchan), who helps them out by placing three tests in front of the real Kishan. He tells everyone that the one who can pick up hot coals will prove himself as Bhanwarlal's real son, the one who can gather his sheep in time will prove himself as the real husband of the bride, and the one who can enter his water bottle will prove himself as the real lover of the bride. Kishan tries his best to perform the first two, which the ghost does not even bother to try. When Gadariya says "the real lover of the bride", the ghost performs the third, impossible feat and enters the water bottle, simply to prove his love for Lachchi. Thus, the real Kishan is found out and Gadariya quickly closes his bottle so the ghost cannot come out of it. Following this revelation, the real Kishan throws away the bottle in the middle of the desert, 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 possessed Kishan's body to live with her. While Lachchi tries to confess to her husband that the ghost had not actually fooled her, the ghost exposes his identity to Lachchi by reminding her of the name they were originally going to give their daughter. Thus, Lachchi begins living happily with both her real husband and her ghost lover in the same body. The puppets end the story, remarking that this is a very old folk tale.
In 2004, Palekar went to Shah Rukh Khan with a request for a hearing. After listening to the script, Khan asked Palekar if he could produce it as well as star in it. According to Khan, Paheli is a woman's liberation film that deals with the issues of marriage and asks whether a woman must stay with a man only due to marriage and not out of love.[7] Paheli was shot entirely in Rajasthan (Jhunjhunu district) over a period of 45 days. A scene involving Bachchan and Khan in the desert was shot in Mumbai on a helipad. One of the scenes was filmed at the Hadi Rani Kund (often confused with Chand Baori) of Todaraisingh.
Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave it 4/5 stars and said: "On the whole, Paheli is one of the finest films produced in recent times. A film like this proves yet again that we don't need to seek inspiration from outsiders [read Hollywood], when Indian literature is rich enough to provide us with captivating stories."[8] Raja Sen from Rediff.com called it "A breathtaking dream!", and said: "First things first, this is the best-looking Indian film in a very long time, and ranks up there with the finest ever. Palekar has crafted a delectable fairytale that is incredibly well-shot. Ravi K. Chandran's cinematography is spellbinding as he casts us into the fabulous sandscapes of Rajasthan with fluid harmony. Each frame of the film is picture-perfect, marinated in intoxicating colour. Watching Paheli is quite an experience, and it's from the very opening shot of the film that its sheer, magical palette overwhelms us."[9] It was featured in The Ten Best Indian Films of 2005 list by Rediff.com, ranked third.[10]
The film's soundtrack is composed and produced by M. M. Keeravani with lyrics by Gulzar. The soundtrack for the film released on 6 May 2005. The song "Dheere Jalna" is based on "Nadira Dhinna" from Okariki Okaru (2003).[15]
This casting is perfection and, once again, Balachander manages to beautifully meld the personality of his stars with the personality of his characters. Hema Malini, 36 in real life and decades into her career by the time this film came out, and yet still more beautiful and attractive than most younger actresses, perfectly captured the confidence and mature strength combined with femininity required by the character.
Kamal Haasan surprised me here. He convinced me as a man of action, and of chivalry. Most of all, a sort of exploding with youth sort of man. He leaps and runs and fights and shouts and generally believes that the world can be forced to change to fit the pattern he desires.
I knew what the ending would be, I think it was even included in the one sentence plot description I got from Netflix. But I was able to almost forget it while I watched the film because the journey was so engrossing.
The romances are handled beautifully. No one acts older or younger than they are, Hema is still clearly a mature woman while Kamal is a young man brimming with youth. And Padmini is sweet and a little funny and naive, while Raaj is old and experience and suave. But their personalities are such a beautiful meshing, the age seems like a bonus, not a detriment.
Meanwhile, Raaj Kumar has decided to marry Padmini, but he wishes to get permission from her mother, who he has learned is alive but estranged, before they wed. Like Kamal, he is hiding something from the woman he loves because he feels it is the right thing to do. Building a relationship with someone in her life before she has the chance to do so.
But at the same time, it also gives us in the audience time to get used to the idea. We continue to see these characters interact, be in love, and plan their lives. What at first seemed shocking and disgusting slowly becomes normalized, something we can live with and hope they can as well. We want them to be married, to sweep this under the rug. And so we feel with him the pain and difficulty of Raaj Kumar revealing the truth to them all.
In the end, this is a story of father and son. Raaj and Kamal are the ones to sacrifice all happiness. Hema and Padmini are reunited, that pain is healed for them. Hema gets the completion she desired for her earlier romance, and can now live a life as a widow (since Suresh has died). Padmini can continue to grow up and, perhaps, someday, learn to love again. But Raaj and Kamal are still separated from each other. And, now, also from the women they love.
Kishanlal marries the beautiful Lachchi, but the day after the wedding, he leaves on business for five years. When Kishanlal reappears only a few days later, Lachchi is delighted, but this new Kishanlal is in fact a spirit who has taken the form of Lachchi's husband, after having seen her by chance and fallen in love with her. Four years later, the real Kishanlal returns and the townsfolk must determine who is who.

was expecting this to be much more overwrought/dramatic/depressing but it's fairly chill and cute with a good bit of humor, aside from the poorly aged animation it was pretty and appropriately whimsical. could have used 2 or 3 more songs i think!! (farah khan choreograpy!) my kid picked it out but it was on my queue because i saw an old SRK interview where he briefly talks about it - the idea that you can't expect a woman to be faithful by force or obedience, that it can only come from mutual respect and love. not sure how much of that came across in the final product but the theme is definitely "men are trash". what's sad is that the ghost with magic powers, this fanciful phantom perfect man who doesn't exist, doesn't do much beyond be kind and complimentary to his wife and family. it's a low, low bar folks!!
