What happens
The Perfect Husband is the debut feature film of Priya Singh Paul, an Indian-Jewish filmmaker. Trained in filmmaking in India and the US, she has built a considerable reputation for herself in India's competitive and demanding television scene. The film, a romantic comedy cum social satire, predominantly in English with a smattering of Hindi and Punjabi, is a modern and thought-provoking look at the Indian marriage 'game' – the quest for the only security symbol that most Indian women possess: a husband, perfect or otherwise! The film was invited to the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January 2003 and shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2004. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
