Valley Of Flowers
*2007* 1CD XviD + Eng Sub, Mirrors

Synopsis:
A greatest Asian love story, an unforgettable tale about passion, death and reincarnation.
A mesmerizing Himalayan epic that spans two centuries, from the Silk Route of the early
19th century to the bustling metropolis of modern-day Tokyo.

Along the highest mountain passes of the Himalayas, tough, intrepid Jalan (Milind Soman)
and his gang earn their living by stealing from unsuspecting travelers.
Abiding by their own, unique codes of honor and dividing the spoils equally, all
is routine until the arrival of the mystifying, beautiful Ushna (Mylene Jampanoi).
Appearing mysteriously after the raid of a pilgrim caravan, Ushna adheres to Jalan,
claiming to have seen him in her dreams, and refusing to leave his side. Sensing
the unease of the rest of the men, Ushna offers to help them in their endeavors,
under condition that they not ask why or how she is able to guide them to success.
In the time that follows, Ushna leads the gang to tremendous exploits, gaining
the respect of the men, and the admiration of Jalan, who begins to fall passionately
in love with this mysterious woman. As their success increases, seemingly unstoppable,
so the love between Jalan and Ushna mounts in intensity, until they seem to have
entered a world of their own. No longer heeding of the world around them, Jalan
and Ushna venture too far in their exploits, progressing from the theft of material
objects to tampering with elements that should never be tampered with; stealing energy,
luck and even the powers of levitation, the two cross over into the bounds of the
supernatural. Word of the duo and their strange exploits reaches the shrewd,
robust Yeti (Naseeruddin Shah), who takes after them with his three experienced
bounty hunters. In the confusion of pursuit, Jalan and Ushna face a temporary
separation, the shock of which drives each to desperation. Having lost luck,
wealth and friends, the fated two are nevertheless fortuitously reunited.
Their passion running higher than ever, they vow never to be separated again,
even if this entails deceiving fate and cheating mortality. But life always
reserves surprises.
