Run Time: 108 minutes
Summary: Ashok runs a family business that sells takeout food that also has a video
rental store at the side. Ashok's extended family
includes his wife Radha, his brother Jatin, their ailing mother Biji and their manservant Mundu, all living
under the same roof. Jatin, at the
insistence of Ashok and their mother, Biji, agrees to marry the beautiful Sita in an arranged marriage,
although he is actually in love with Julie, a Chinese-Indian. At first glance, you see a happy middle-class
family going through the normal paces of everyday life. However, as the layers are slowly peeled
back, we find a simmering cauldron of discontent within the family, with almost every family member living a lie. Both marriages
in the family turn out to be emotionally empty, without love or passion. While Ashok is an ascetic
who has taken a vow of celibacy, Jatin is a handsome ladies' man who is still openly seeing Julie even
after his marriage to Sita. Ashok has pledged his total devotion to a religious holy man, a swami, in
order to purge his life of worldly desires and temptations. Radha, bound by her sense of duty to her husband, agrees to go
along with his wishes. As you can imagine, with both husbands ignoring their spouses' emotional and sexual
needs (albeit with reasons that are totally opposite from each other), it is only a matter of time before
Radha and Sita look to one another for comfort and to satisfy their own passions. In this environment,
it is only natural that Sita and Radha become fast friends, and, in time, much more than that. But their love is not without its share of painful obstacles. (From imdb.com)
