Paheli (transl. Riddle) is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language fantasy film. It is a remake of the 1973 Hindi movie Duvidha by Mani Kaul based on the short story written by Vijayadan Detha in Rajasthani. It was also reported to have been partially inspired by the 1997 Kannada movie Nagamandala based on the play of same name by Girish Karnad.[2] Directed by Amol Palekar and produced by Juhi Chawla, Aziz Mirza, Sanjiv Chawla, and Shah Rukh Khan, who also plays the male lead, the film tells the story of a wife (Rani Mukerji) whose husband (Khan) goes on a business trip and is visited by a Jinn, disguised as her husband, who is in love with her and takes her husband's place. Detha's story, which had earlier been adapted into the 1973 film by Mani Kaul, is folkloric in origin.[3] Paheli diverges from its source material and the earlier adaptations in giving the plot and its lead female character a more feminist agency.[4]
