And you thought a 40 year old divorced woman with two kids in India leads a shitty abandoned life ??

Welcome to the new India.....

This 40 year old smashing divorcée with two kids ( Deepshikha )wears miniskirts and even more exposing clothes , has parties with friends where she has male admirers who wish they hadn't been married so they could flirt with her , makes women younger than her jealous of her beauty and charm , keeps herself fit by running a dance school where sexy babes and goodlooking hunks vie for her attention , and goes to exotic vacations with her friends.....

......And while doing all this , does the job of being a good mother to her two kids.....

.......All of which calls for the attention of a goodlooking younger man who falls for her hook ,line and sinker......

And then life turns into a bed of roses , with candle-lit dinners , champagne on the beach and those midnight sessions on the double bed the kind of which leave lovebites on the body and an exhausted feeling of physical happiness in the mind....

And the young man then charms his way into the hearts of the children who yearn for his company , all under the encouraging eyes of liberal , indeed liberated grandparents who don't mind their daughter getting her second chance of love in her life......

To complete the circle of happiness , all this has the approval of her friends , including even the men who had dreamt of being unmarried so that they could one day flirt with her , but now are happy just seeing her joy.....

It all seems a dream......

Well actually , it just is that--its just a dream......

For then enters the dragon......

Actually the dragon enters in the form of the mother of the young man who scowls at the relationship and dins into his head the fact that this backward and primitive society we live in is never going to accept a younger bachelor's marriage with an older woman with kids.....

And she puts her foot down and demands that he call the whole thing off.....

But not so easy !! He's a young man in love.....

On the other hand , there's also the ex-husband ; the real father of the kids , who is sorry over his earlier behaviour which led to the divorce and wants his wife back......

So what path does our lady choose ?? --The husband or the lover ??

Go and watch the movie for that......

Actually , don't watch--for the ending is disappointing , and disappointing ends make disappointing movies.....

And movies which don't disappoint are a rarity to find......

Just as rare as husbands who really accept their past mistakes , and as rare as boyfriends who have the guts to go against the society.....

In fact , such husbands , such boyfriends , and maybe even such movies don't exist.....

What exist are dreams , but dreams don't ever turn into reality.....

So , don't go to this movie and disappoint yourself.....
