High
flying
businessman
and
casanova
Karan
Mittal
(Rohit
Roy)
sees
Mitali
(Rituparna)
at
a
fashion
show
and
flips
for
her.
He
strikes
a
friendship
with
her.
Very
aggressive
in
his
approach,
he
tries
to
take
her
to
bed
in
a
very
short
time
but
Mitali
doesn"t
allow
him
to.
She
also
distances
herself
from
him.
But
then
after
a
few
months
time
he
makes
re
entry
in
her
life
and
proposes
to
her.
Though
she
is
not
prepared
for
a
marriage
with
him,
she
eventually
decides
to
get
married
on
her
over
enthusiastic
mom"s
(Reema
Lagoo)
insistence.
Her
mom
doesn"t
want
to
let
go
of
such
a
big
well
known
business
house.
But
problems
crop
up
immediately
after
marriage.
Mitali"s
mother
in
law
(Dolly
Thakore)
is
the
typical
high
society
types
who
looks
down
on
Mitali"s
middle
class
up
bringing
and
leaves
no
chance
of
insulting
her
every
day.
But
Karan
finds
fault
in
Mitali
for
the
same
and
gets
abusive.
When
Mitali
resists
making
love
to
him,
he
forces
himself
on
her.
From
then
on
marital
rape
becomes
a
daily
thing
by
Karan.
Finally,
Mitali
decides
to
call
it
quits
and
leaves
his
house.
Aided
by
a
women"s
organization
she
decides
to
take
him
to
court
for
marital
rape.
She
is
helped
by
lawyer
Karuna
Maheshwari
(Suchitra).
But
their
fight
is
against
one
of
the
most
cunning
defense
lawyer,
Salunkhe
(Gulshan
Grover)
who
on
behalf
of
his
client
Karan
leaves
no
opportunity
to
insult
Mitali
in
the
court
of
law.
Mitali
is
almost
on
the
verge
of
losing
her
case
but
finally
the
tables
turn
on
Karan
due
to
the
appearance
of
Karan"s
hideous
past.
The
film
may
be
well
intended
but
it
is
badly
executed
by
director
Karan
Razdan.
It
talks
about
marital
rape
but
the
camera
goes
voyeuristic
during
the
rape
scenes.
Instead
of
making
the
audience
feel
angry
about
the
rape,
it
tries
to
titillate.
However,
it
is
during
the
court
room
scenes
when
the
film
becomes
more
serious
and
bearable.
Some
important
questions
are
raised
and
the
subject
thereon
is
tackled
well.
Technically
the
film
appears
shoddy
as
production
values
are
very
average.
Music
by
Shamir
Tandon
is
a
big
bore.
Rituparna
enacts
her
part
well
and
brings
out
her
helplessness
effectively.
Rohit
Roy
suits
the
role
to
the
T.
He
is
extremely
natural.
Gulshan
Grover
as
the
cool
as
cucumber
defense
lawyer
is
simply
excellent.
Suchitra
Krishnamoorthy
enacts
her
part
well.
Dolly
Thakore
is
again
a
perfect
casting.
The
makers
need
to
be
applauded
for
bringing
on
screen
a
necessary
subject.
However,
the
film
could
have
been
much
better
and
a
recommended
watch
had
it
not
been
for
the
frivolous
execution
of
the
marital
rape
sequences.
