Synopsis: 9 Jakhoo Hill is set in the Shimla of 1962.

It explores a number of themes

which continue to have as much relevance today as they did in the sixties: changing
values; conflicts between old and new; family relationships and attendant tensions that
come to the surface when skeletons in cupboards begin to tumble out....

As love, laughter, loneliness, betrayal confront each other in this powerful drama, a
moment of truth compels each character to reckon with her/his personal demons and
transforms their lives irrevocably.

My Two Cents: It is a story of two neighbors who migrated from Lahore during partition.
Amrita, an aristocrat widow lives in Jakhoo Hill, Shimla with daughter Ansuya and
younger brother Karan Chand. She is a socialite, mostly stuck in the past, is unable to
manage her finances and in huge debt, on the verge of losing their ancestral house.
Amritha invites her friend and neighbor in the past, Chitra (the one from Lahore) and her
son, Deepak to celebrate Diwali with them. Ansuya and Deepak exchange letters often;
theirs is a childhood love. Karan Chand/Mamu nurtures incestuous feelings towards his
niece who loath Deepak. The company Deepak works for wants to expand their business
in Kolkatta and certain Rai Saheb is the key to help. Rai Saheb, a bureaucrat works for
the government of India and Amrita's close friend. The story sets in the midst of Indo-
China war. Love blossoms between Deepak and Ansuya. However, Chitra,
Deepak's manipulative and overbearing mother is against it solely based on
Ansuya's current financial status. They all play the game of "Truth or Dare" that unravels
truth in a nasty way.
