When Shekhar Kapur's musician-daughter approached him with a request to direct her upcoming video, the filmmaker recalls being disturbed. "She's 17, and I wanted to know where those words came from," says Kapur, of Kaveri's song Smell Of The Rain.

"She told me that it's about how most of the mistakes that people make are because they reject their dark side. I knew then that I'd have to take it seriously." Shekhar took inspiration from Kerela's Kathakali dance form, which, he says, represents demons too. "I wrote a story of a young girl who tries to run away from her dark side. She then accepts it, and finally becomes it."
