Plot

The story is about lovers from previous lives meeting in India. The narrative unfolds with a young village girl, Urvashi, and a man named Chandra, captured by a local sculptor, Gregory. Forced to pose in compromising positions, they fall in love, but tragedy strikes when Chandra is fatally injured by Gregory. In the modern era of the 1990s, in India, a local prince marries Reeta, a girl revealed to be Urvashi's reincarnation. Simultaneously, Jeff, an architect in the US and Chandra's reincarnation, experiences nightmares of a sculptor's threat.

Jeff visits India for an archaeological site trip, discovering the same cave where the tragic events unfolded in their past lives. Unaware of their shared history, Jeff and Reeta bond, and they eventually realize their past connection. The narrative takes a dramatic turn as the prince, embodying the sculptor's essence, poses a threat. In a climactic confrontation, the prince is defeated, leading to the lovers' reunion.

Tragically, an earthquake seals the cave entrance, trapping the lovers inside. Accepting their fate, they express the enduring nature of their love, reminiscent of Chandra and Urvashi. The film concludes with the implication that their love transcends lifetimes.
