This is a Hindi film based on NRI couple based in London. The leading ladies of the movie are not able to speak Hindi well, however the movie is made in Hindi language.
In the movie, Aruna plays a wife who finds out that her husband is having an affair with another woman, and she in turn sets out to have an extramarital affair with the husband of that woman. According to Aruna nudity is not the highlight of the movie. There is nude scenes in the movie but is shot from sideways, or pixeled out.
Society is not willing to take extra marital affairs, they take it as accidents which happends to others. You only get a jolt when it actually happens to you or to someone you know. It is a take on four dramatic characters. Mrs. Singh (Aruna Shields), an agony aunt columnist, is obviously agonized upon discovering her husband’s infidelity. Mr. Singh (Naved Aslam) and Mrs. Mehta (Lucy Hassan) are having an extra-marital affair, despite being ostensibly happy with their respective marriages. His wife however has full faith in Ashwin’s talent that one day he will be a very rich and famous painter. Drawn together by shame and anger, they find comfort in their growing friendship even as they resolve not to be like their unfaithful mates.
Ashwin is an upcoming painter, however she is living his life own his wife. This puts him in a spot.
Considering that Bollywood has so few adult films to offer, this one’s a rare experience. is it a case of crisscrossed adultery, an unintentional spouse swapping. Director has approached the subject with maturity and causoin, this makes the film a good one. This film has ample nude scene and kissing seqences. Pravesh made sure that there were very minimal crew members on the sets while shooting the nude scenes. Though Aruna Shields was cool about being in her birthday suit, it was Prashant who kept fumbling and fluffing. The movie is not meant to titillate anyone so there were no vulgar scenes. Every shot is done very aesthetically.
Director Pravesh Bharadwaj leaves an open end for the viewers to exercise their own brain muscles and draw their own conclusions, not something Bollywood patrons are used to.
