Miss Meena, formerly Asha, returns to her native village Pichampuram after two decades to make her final film. She is now an iconic film star. In the intervening years, Pichampuram has descended into a state of dire poverty. With news of Ms. Meena`s arrival there is a new burst of energy and hope in the village and she is hailed as their saviour, while Ravi, her former lover, now a prominent shopkeeper, is pushed to appeal to her on the village`s behalf. After all, the villagers reason, Ms. Meena must still harbour some `feelings` for Ravi mustn`t she? When Ms. Meena finally arrives, she promises to make the villagers prosperous beyond their wildest dreams but in return demands a terrible price. `Ms. Meena` is based on an original story written by Rashmi Ruth Devadasan, inspired by the classic play `The Visit (1956)` by the Swiss-German Playwright, Friedrich Durrenmatt. In our story, we have introduced an important element namely cinema, which was absent in the original. The essential lure of cinema and its promise of untold prosperity exerts a fatal attraction on an entire village and leads them into moral and ethical compromise. They play is not entirely serious however it uses a combination of laughter and pathos to seduce the viewer as much as cinema does. In the process, the distinction between real and reel becomes tenuous and both serve to lead the story to its inevitable end.
