This is an amazingly honest film. Cuts out all the silly singing & dancing around trees , yet the music is awesome. The film gives one a feel of the intricate social fabric in India.The emotions, the angst, the pain , all seem from the heart. A must see if you like Indian films , also if you belong to a traditional society.

Awesome movie!!!
mpradhan7 September 2016
The film is a funny, sad, satirical, serious, compassionate, wicked revelation of the follies and foibles of a society that considers the birth of a girl, "a curse", where abuse by the husband is taken for granted, and a woman's worth is judged by three factors alone-- that she be married by the age of 25, that she should amply satisfy the monetary demands of her in-laws and that she produce a male heir within a year of holy matrimony! Jaya (Neha Dubey) is a 21-year-old bullied into auditioning for various male suitors and their families, while fending off the advances of the arrogant jerk next door. Meanwhile, Uma (Rajeshwari Sachdev), her 30- year-old aunt, whose asthma has made her unable to find a husband, falls for a visiting Brit (William Randall), to the matriarch's dismay. Performers and technical credits are no more than adequate.
