And all Arjun wants to do is disentangle that web and get Aisha out of an impending sticky mess. Who will succeed and who will succumb?

To restate a literary work set in the 19th century England through a film set in 21st Delhi requires finesse & depth – both at the intellectual as well as emotional level. One needs to have a fair understanding of the social values & psychological structures relevant to the time and place of the source as well as the adaptation. Debutante Rajshree Ojha’s Aisha is an adaptation of Jane Austen’s evergreen novel Emma, set in modern day Delhi. This abomination of an adaptation would have been inexcusable had the film not so overtly given away the fact that the combined IQ of the brains behind this project didn’t exceed that of Google Transliterate.
