Kaaya has been assigned the task of getting back Llahmo (Madan Bhiku), a 6 year old boy, believed to be the reincarnation of lord Buddha. Kaaya now travels to the city and becomes the witness to a murder.
Fate takes a twist, as Kaaya meets Inspector Shiven (John Abraham). Shiven decides to take care Llahmo and Kaaya back to Spiti but is wounded by an accident. When Shiven reaches Spiti the people wants him to stay back. And then it happens. Shiven and Kaaya get closer. Does it result in a calamity? Will Kaaya's father accept their relationship? What will Kaaya choose- love or spiritual life? You have to wait for 16 January 2004 for the movie to get released.
Pooja Bhatt has surely been a name to reckon for unconventional movies. After the success of JISM She works on Mahesh Bhatt's script in PAAP. Anu Malik along with some Pakistani music composers has composed the soulful music. PAAP introduces model Udita Goswami, highlighting a young girl's all-important decision of choosing the path of spirituality or love. Bipasha Basu was the original choice for the role. PAAP holds the distinction for being the first Bollywood movie to have its premiere in Kara Film Festival in Karachi 2003. For 21-year-old Goswami, playing Kaaya was the most difficult character a newcomer would have done. Shot in picturesque locales of northern Kaza in Spiti valley and Ladakh region, "Paap" has been one of the most awaited movies of the year.
