==Plot==<br />
The beautiful Sanjana is a divorcee who moves to a hillside house as she cannot afford a house in the city. She runs her step father's antique shop. However, it is not long before strange occurrences begin near and in her home. One day a Tibetan old lady gives her an antique locket at her antique shop and leaves. Sanjana sells it to a tourist couple for Rs.500. Sanjana finds the lady on the way to her home to return the money but she discovers that the lady was dead. The locket is returned to Sanjana by the tourist as the Tibetan lady keeps haunting the couple to make them return it.<br />
<br />
Sanjana is mentally tortured and physically molested by an invisible demon. Her dog is also possessed and attacks her and Vicky, her younger brother. Sanjana consults a psychiatrist who brings a parasychologist. Sanjana comes to learn that the demon comes from an old well, where tribals used to push and kill criminals as punishment. Due to lightning striking the well, one soul escapes and haunts Sanjana. The demon also takes her younger daughter. The parasychologist opens the well from which all the evil spirits come out and attacks him.<br />
<br />
Sanjana jumps into the well to bring back her daughter. There all the spirits get combined into a huge demon. Sanjana throws the Tibetan locket to hit the demon which then dissolves. The soul of Sanjana's father comes as an angel and returns her younger daughter.<br />

==Critical reception==<br />
Taran Adarsh of [[Bollywood Hungama]] gave the film 2.5 stars and claimed that 'the film merges two lethal aspects, sex and violence, which should prove a path-breaking exercise for the Hindi viewer.'<br />
Suraj Das of Planet Bollywood, gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and said that 'Self-respecting moviegoers looking for quality film rather than shameful sexual exploitation should steer far clear of this compost.'<br />
Anjum N from [[Rediff]], gave the film a negative review and said that 'Tabu is the only saving grace of the movie', and 'it's rather sad that all her effort has been wasted in a movie like Hawa.<br />
