Duvidha (1973)
“This hypnotic and enigmatic ghost story is derived from a Rajasthani folktale. A ghost seeking company fixates upon a beautiful young woman whose merchant husband is away on a business trip, so he transmutes himself into the man’s doppelganger. But the ghost’s plan goes awry when the husband returns home.”
