Synopsis
Newly-promoted Inspector Ghote is thrilled to be granted casual leave until he takes up his post, as it allows him to spend time with his heavily pregnant wife, who is desperate to watch a showing of "Hamlet" at the cinema.

Ghote is determined to investigate further, with a Hamlet-esque awareness of how deceiving appearances can really be...
