Gudia

In Gudia, Johnny, a musician, joins a ventriloquist troupe led by Hameed, who features a talking doll named Urvashi. When Hameed loses his voice, Johnny acquires Urvashi and returns to Mumbai, where he reconnects with his sweetheart, Rosemary. Johnny's successful performances with Urvashi take a dark turn as communal riots break out, and his songs reveal the culprits behind the chaos.

As the story unfolds, jealousy brews between Johnny and Rosemary, culminating in Urvashi's destruction during the riots. In a poignant twist, Rosemary steps in to comfort Johnny, taking Urvashi’s place on stage and becoming the doll herself.
