Mr Singh Mrs Mehta is a Hindi Film based on Indian couple based in Loondon. The leading ladies of the movie are not able to speak Hindi well, however the movie is made in Hindi language.
In the movie, Aruna plays a wife who finds out that her husband is having an affair with another woman, and she in turn sets out to have an extramarital affair with the husband of that woman. According to Aruna nudity is not the highlight of the movie. It’s only shot from sideways. She says she has absolutely “no issues” with her nude scenes in the movie which is about adultery.
Society is not willing to take extra marital affairs, they take it as accidents which happends to others. You will get shocked when it happens to you. The movie has four main characters. Mrs. Singh (Aruna Shields), an agony aunt columnist, is obviously agonized upon discovering her husband’s infidelity. Mr. Singh (Naved Aslam) and Mrs. Mehta (Lucy Hassan) are having an extra-marital affair, despite being ostensibly happy with their respective marriages. However his wife has confidence in Ashwin’s talent. Proceedings become interesting when Mrs. Singh and Mr. Mehta meet.
While he is confident in his art, in his personal life Ashwin is unable to stand up for himself. He is someone who is living on his wife’s money and loves her so much.
Considering that Bollywood has so few adult films to offer, this one’s a rare experience. In one way the film is a type of wife swapping, eventhough unintentional. Director has approached the subject with maturity and causoin, this makes the film a good one. The film seems to be generating a lot of buzz only for the kissing and the nude scenes. Even though there are many nude scenes involving Aruna Shields, she was very professional and did a wonderful job. The movie is not meant to titillate anyone so there were no vulgar scenes. Every shot is done very aesthetically.
Director Pravesh Bharadwaj leaves an open end for the viewers to exercise their own brain muscles and draw their own conclusions, not something Bollywood patrons are used to.
