Storyline

Mumbai-based Sunil Arora is in Marketing, while his wife of 10 years, Malti, is in Sales Division. Both have a son, Avi, who studies in Arya Vidya Mandir. When their U.S-based friends, Shefali and Harsh, come to visit, Sunil finds out the secret behind Harsh's attitude - which is spouse-swapping. He attempts to convince Malti to do the same - in vain initially - but succeeds rather dramatically after a few days. He goes through a number of classified advertisements and subsequently meets a couple, Kalpana and Vinod Khanna. He then convinces his wife to accompany him to their residence - with hopes that this joint meeting will not only spice up but also change their lives forever.

User Reviews

A superb story about a happy couple put in a very awkward situation due to the lack of excitement from their partners.

Beautifully directed! It's a story about a normal middle class happy couple. A man after 10 years of marriage wanting something different 'sexually' but he doesn't know what. That what leads him to being fascinated with his friend's story about 'wife swapping' & he thinks this is what is missing in their mundane normal married life.

Some people fail to understand the constitution of marriage, where ups & downs are very normal sexually or otherwise & they try to complicate the situation in order to add the excitement. Some times it works & other times……………… It definitely leaves a mark & provokes your thoughts It's a must watch. Very natural acting & superb direction
