Henna is a 1991 Bollywood film produced and directed by Randhir Kapoor and starring his brother Rishi Kapoor, Ashwini Bhave and Zeba Bakhtiyar (of Pakistan). It was shot in Kashmir. This film's project was planned and started by legendary director Raj Kapoor but due to his demise during the filming stage, the remaining portions were directed by his son Randhir Kapoor. The film was an Indo-Pak project, hence the dialogues of the film were written by the Pakistani legendary writer Haseena Moin on Raj Kapoor's personal request. The film was a critical and a commercial success and was also India's submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The story revolves around the mistaken straying (due to a car accident which also caused him to suffer amnesia) of Rishi Kapoor into the Pakistani side of Kashmir from his own home in Srinagar . He falls in love with a native girl Henna (Zeba Bakhtiar), amidst the controversial Indian-Pakistani tension on Kashmir which leads him to be suspected by the Pakistani police of being an Indian spy.
