Such a misogynist movie. Clearly written by a man.
It was amusing to watch Jai's character being portrayed as the "poor husband being denied affection": the scene where he bought his wife a saree but she doesn't even glance at it and he gets all sad. Do you know why she doesn't have time to even look at the gift saree? Because she's busy preparing breakfast for him and their child, also packing lunches for all of them to take AND getting their child ready for school after which she has to rush to leave for her own job in the morning. He doesn't look at it as affection/care/love that she asks him to make sure he eats the breakfast she cooked for him before she's rushes off to work.
When he starts to "help" her with chores (out of guilt of the emotional affair with Aishwaria's character), his wife is pleasantly surprised, but she questions him why. You can already see here that she's probably not used to him doing his share of the chores in their marriage life. As both of them are working, why is it falling on the wife's shoulders to do the cooking cleaning, ironing and getting the child ready for school? This is indicative of why she doesn't give him the attention or affection that he craves, because she does not have enough energy after work and the chores and the child.
Aishwaria's character: my god this woman took a lot of abuse from the husband, and also the fact that her parents are not supportive. They got the right person to play her abusive husband, every time he smiled, he creeped out the audience. The only thing satisfying about this movie is that she took a bold step to leave this marriage and also, the satisfying slap she give him when she fought back.
Jai's character is portrayed as someone stuck in between but in reality he is a cunning guy who pretends be the nice guy. He is the one who asks for his ex's new number, pursues his ex to go for dinner and keep in touch. And at the same time he's also being intimate with his wife resulting in another pregnancy.
This movie could have done something noble where they could have actually addressed domestic abusive situations, shown support for survivors instead of making a domestic abuse survivor a villainous clown.
Hope the actresses chose a better script next time.
