The film is about two Indian couples living in London and ideally should have been shot as a bi-lingual or in English. The main cast is done by Prashant Narayanan, Aruna Shields, Naved Aslam, Lucy Hassan.
Going bold and baring all, Aruna Shields nude is the most talked about pretty young thing in the entertainment fraternity.
Aruna stress that nudity is not highlighted in the film. It’s only shot from sideways. She says she has absolutely “no issues” with her nude scenes in the movie which is about adultery.
Extramarital affairs are like accidents that you keep reading about in the newspapers. You will get shocked when it happens to you. The movie has four main characters. Mrs. Singh (Aruna Shields), an agony aunt columnist, is obviously agonized upon discovering her husband’s infidelity. Neera singh and Ashwin Mehta – atalented painter finds that, their other half is having an affair. However his wife has confidence in Ashwin’s talent. This brings them together, and try to find comfort each other, and decides not to be unfaithfull like mated.
While he is confident in his art, in his personal life Ashwin is unable to stand up for himself. He is someone who is living on his wife’s money and loves her so much.
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.
