Ayesha and Jackie Shroff have made films like Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehtaa Hai (directed by Mahesh Manjrekar) and Grahan (directed by Shashilal Nayar). While the former was a light musical love and family drama, the latter was a psycho-thriller. Both the film, unfortunately, bombed at the Box-Office leaving Jackie with dilemma whether he should continue to produce films or not.

But now, after a considerable gap, he is all set to bounce back with films like Sandhya and Boom. Sandhya is again a thriller film but according to sources, this is one of the really different movies Bollywood has made in years. Interestingly, Sandhya is written by late Amjad Khan's actor-turned writer son Shadab Khan.

Sandhya is the story of a doctor Singhania (Ashutosh Rana). He is a renowned doctor who owns an institution. Things were moving fine until one day when his entire family is brutally murdered by an unknown killer. Shaken Singhania becomes a psychic case due to this incident and admitted in his own institution for treatment.

Slowly, he recovers from the trauma and becomes normal to an extent. But the grief and painful memories of losing his all loved ones is still alive in his heart. He decides to convert his house into a nursing home and names it Sandhya. While he carries on his routine as best as possible, the nearing death anniversary of his family members starts upsetting him once again.

When the pain reaches its peak and Singhania feels he cannot live with it, he decides to do something which is too difficult to accept. He decides to get himself killed on the death anniversary of his wife and to execute this job, he employs one Jaggu (Jackie Shroff). Jaggu is a man who could do this work quite easily. But this easy job turns out to be a shocking episode very soon as unexpected incidences start taking place. And what follows is truly a gripping and attention-grabbing story.

Sandhya is directed by Sangeeth Sivan who has made name for himself with some good movies in South India. The music is composed by Anand Raj Anand.. Sandhya is one of the most eagerly awaited movies of the year and one can wish that it works at the Box-Office. As such, thriller films have ruled the Box-Office and who knows Sandhya can repeat the same success story once again.
