In the Ramayana, when Indra comes to Ahalya dressed as his husband and makes love to her, Ahalya, even being innocent was punished by her husband, Rishi Gautam for infedility and was turned into stone. And here, Radhika Apte in the role of Ahalya tried to take revenge from any man who tries to take advantage of her by turning them into stone. The main catch is, had if Inspector Indra not went back to take advantage of Ahalya,deceived as her husband, he would have been saved and not turned into stone. So every man who falls in the trap turns into stone.

Watch Hitchcock's "The Landlady", based on Roald Dahl's story.

Sujoy's Kahaani was a masterpiece but this one is such a rip off. In addition, there's the stupid reference to Ahalya's story "with a twist". What rubbish. Sahi se batao na kahan se inspired ho.

Theres no similarity at all with the Landlady. Just read the synopsis of both the short story and movie and they dont even come close to this short film!

This one is definitely inspired by Ahalya story, its a twist on the Ahalya myth.

Only here any guy who sleeps with another man's wife gets punished/ turned into stone whereas in the Ramayana story Indra who duped Ahalya doesnt get punished, she gets turned into stone.
