In Barrackpore, near Calcutta, three men with good reason to escape their pasts come together and decide to disappear into the convenient world of godmen. The supposedly holy city of Allahabad, where such artful charlatans converge to prey upon the insecurities of the religious and not so religious, is their next natural choice of destination. But their journey doesn’t stop there. After a whirlwind tour of the country dispensing their peculiar wisdom to the richest in the land, and opening a grand moneylaundering ashram, it is Mansuri that eventually attracts their  louche attention.  Are any of these supposed sadhus—or all—behind the murder of the secretive, housebound sisters?

In this grisly tale of deception, cruelty, sexual deviance and greed, popular storyteller Sudhir Thapliyal once more displays his skill at dramatic presentation.
