Ek Hasina Thi (English: There Was A Beautiful Woman) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language neo-noir action thriller film directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Ram Gopal Varma. Urmila Matondkar and Saif Ali Khan star in the lead roles. The screenplay was by Sriram Raghavan and Pooja Ladha Surti. The film borrows elements from the Sidney Sheldon story If Tomorrow Comes.[3] In her review, critic Ronjita Kulkarni said it's "loosely based" on Double Jeopardy, while "the film also adapts a scene from The Bone Collector."[4] The film premiered at the New York Asian Film Festival.[5] The film is usually considered one of the best works of Urmila Matondkar, Saif Ali Khan and director Sriram Raghavan.[6]
