In this attack on male chauvinism, a housewife who has lived by all the rules of her position is shunned when it is discovered that her husband is not the father of her son. Although the husband has been unfaithful in the past as well, it is the wife who suffers most. Lead actress Tabu won the critic's award for Best Actress at India's Film Fare Awards. Hindi with English subtitles.  110 minutes.
