What happens

Woodstock Villa is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language neo-noir mystery thriller film directed by Hansal Mehta and jointly produced by Sanjay Gupta and Ekta Kapoor. Loosely based on the 2000 Japanese film Chaos, it stars debutants Sikandar Kher and Neha Oberoi, alongside Arbaaz Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Gulshan Grover and Sachin Khedekar. Sanjay Dutt makes a guest appearance. The film follows an unemployed man who helps a woman plot her own abduction in order to test her husband's love and dedication towards her. The soundtrack was composed by Anu Malik. It was filmed in Mumbai and Mauritius. The film was released on 30 May 2008, and was a box-office failure. Kher's performance received praise, while the song placement was criticized. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
