In Bollywood, the film capital of India, the grisly murder of Dhartiraj, India's most famous screen villain, has plunged the Hindi tinsel town into chaos. But with the help of an ever resourceful gossip columnist, Ghote has soon assembled a list of some very likely suspects: a fading star who stood to inherit many of Dhartiraj's roles; India's number-one superstar, who was Dhartiraj's rival at the box office (and in bed); and last but hardly least, the actor's trusted stand-in. Ghote could easily make a case for each of them wanting the great Dhartiraj off the boards and into permanent retirement.
