Overview

Sins is a 2005 English-language Indian drama film directed and produced by Vinod Pande. It stars Shiney Ahuja and Seema Rahmani.

Deciding to keep their love story confidential, things take such a twist that their love story takes a perpetual transformation into a story marked by jealousy, hatred, and treachery. The film has a few controversial topless scenes, as a result of which it received an A certificate from the censor board of India. The film depicting a Catholic priest romantically involved with a young woman, was protested against by those that felt it was a negative portrayal of Catholicism and indecent.
