[edit] Plot

Life in Chunni's village is all peace and quiet, and great fun. She fools the village with her impersonation of her twin sister, Munni; she has a great friend in Mugale Azam, who does her homework and she also has all the opportunity to vex her masterji (school teacher), Kallu (the village butcher) and her father. There is one small problem, though.

In a mansion in the village, said to be haunted, lives the legend of a witch called Makdee (played by Shabana Azmi.) The legend goes that whosoever wanders into the mansion, comes out as an animal! No one in the village dares to enter the mansion. Of course, there is the exception...
