Previewed by Manish Gajjar, Bollywood specialist

Roshni (meaning light) opens on the banks of the river Thames, with a distressed Rohan.

He is waiting for the outcome of the rescue operations that are taking place around him for his wife, Roshni (Kiran Zaveri).


	Bikram Saluja as Rohan

When he reveals the picture of his wife to the police, we are taken through a flashback in time when Rohan and Roshni first met.

London born Rohan (Bikram Saluja) goes to India to attend his cousin's wedding. But during his visit he falls in love with an Indian girl Roshni and marries her.

Upon their return to London, newly married Roshni gets a taste of Rohan's reckless nature. As a result their love for each other begins to disintegrate.


	Milind Soman in Roshni

Rohan ends up having an extra marital affair.
Whilst Roshni is heartbroken to learn the truth about her husband's brazen admission - his preference for London bred Maya (Kashmira Shah) and her lifestyle.

Roshni accepts her husband's new female partner but the more she gives in to her husband's aggressive nature, the more the obsessive Maya tries to possess her husband, Rohan.

This leads to their inevitable divorce. And suddenly a lonely Roshni finds herself on the cold streets of London.


	The happy couple in Roshni

It is at this point that she meets Ajay (Milind Soman), an unemployed lawyer who utilizes his legal expertise to get back what she has lost.
It is not long before Roshni emerges as a confident woman.

She becomes a close friend of the lawyer who by now is secretly in-love with her.

The film now focuses on how Ajay is all out to see Roshni get all that is due to her from her ex-husband.

So as the image of the past fades away from Rohan's mind, what emerges next is an edge-of-the-seat emotional thriller.

A must see this summer due to the presence of a galaxy of Bollywood stars.
