And as each woman strives to find her own truth, they find in each other an unexpected understanding and the sliver of a bond.
3. Decoupled
Cast: R Madhavan, Suvreen Chawla
Director: Hardik Mehta
Genre: Relationship drama
Synopsis: Arya Iyer is a man who suffers from chronic objectivity, extreme clarity, and the debilitating capacity to see in any situation what others are trained to ignore. It gets him in trouble with people wherever he goes. Naturally, his marriage is over, but he has persuaded his estranged wife to continue living with him in a large villa in Gurgaon to create the myth of family for their tween daughter, who is terrified of their divorce.
Arya, as the second highest-selling pulp fiction writer in India, after his old foe Chetan Bhagat, is a celebrity who has everything a man wants — fame, money, a daughter who adores him, a home run by a woman, and a hot young girlfriend.
