Director: Anurag Basu
Sensitivity meter: In one of the multiple parallel stories strung together, Shikha (Shilpa Shetty) is stuck in a loveless and bitter marriage. Neglected by an indifferent husband and bogged down by family chores, she finds comfort in the arms of an upcoming artiste, Akash (Shiney Ahuja). However, later, she feels guilty about straying and returns to her husband. The director, through Shikha's character, presented the large majority of women who fail to muster the courage to quit a loveless marriage.
Hit or not: This critically acclaimed film was an average grosser at the domestic box office, the collections mostly aided by worth-of-mouth buzz.
