Taqdeerwala (1995)

This fantastic mythological saga opens with Lord Brahma ccoming down heavily upon the god of death, Yamraj and his assistant, Chitragupt, as they have misplaced 'Bhavishya Vani', a book of prophecies, with the ability to predict every one's future, and gives them an ultimatum of 30 days to travel down to Earth and retrieve the book, or face the prospect of living out the rest of their days as mortals on earth.

The two descend to Earth, and find out that the book is in the possession of Suraj, a clever and ambitious young man, who is unwilling to give up the book as he has read the prophecy about his mother's dying.

This refusal is catastrophic as Yamraj cannot plan anyone's death, and no one will be permitted to die unless and until the book comes in his possession. At the same time there is an evil man named Chota Ravan who is trying to possess the book in order to spread his control over Bombay. How will this extraordinary problem be resolved? Can Suraj ensure that he is able to negotiate in such a way that his mother's life and his future are made secure?
