When two sisters-in-law come to realize they are married to the biggest jackasses in all of India, they do what comes naturally and explore one another. Before you get too excited, it's not too steamy, and it's not a comedy, either. What is it? Well, more soap opera than anything else, full of wringing of hands and lots and lots of talking. Snooze. Feels like a film-school special.
