==Plot== The story is about a young widow named Drishti Nair. She is a psychic and has the gift of seeing into the future of anybody. After her breakup with boyfriend Manav, who truly loved her but had to move away to a different city, Drishti moves to a small, remote village, where she meets Mohit, an eccentric car mechanic who needs psychiatric treatment due to years of abuse at the hands of his father. Mohit has a crush on Drishti, which Drishti is unaware of. She performs the job of Tarot card reading to locals, one of her customers being Rhea Trehan. Rhea is a young woman who is repeatedly beaten up by her husband Sunny. Rhea pleads for help from Drishti, who agrees. However, one day, when Drishti's son comes home from school, he is harassed by Sunny, who calls Drishti a witch and tells her son to stay away from his mother.
