Me too 😆

I remember liking it then but I was too small to comprehend the seriousness of it all.😆

Then there was another, Out of Control starring Riteish Deshmukh.

Not only do they normalise cheating men. They are so problematic and equate modern and independent women with not being wifey material & housewives to be a paragon of virtues. Like how Sushmita dumps Salman for Saif because he earns better now  😆

Hmm I understand your point, there are a lot of things wrong with movies, but then they are supposed to be taken as movies, just for entertainment purposes, we need not take them so seriously. Afterall we are sensible enough to differentiate reel from real 😆

Most people are not. The movies are just reflection of the attitudes and thinking of people in general. "men will be men but women have to tolerate and be good". Patriarchy is so seeped in our psyche we miss it. Movies/ media etc is never innocent - it's a way of reinforcing that - men behave a certain way and women are supposed to be naive and gentle. 

Had it been the other way round, the innocent house wife sleeping with someone else while husband goes out to work - then he tries to win her back, she is the one not satisfied.. the movie wouldn't have been accepted by the audience.

I notice this in Pakistani shows too - women are never given a second chance. They are not allowed to make a mistake.

Possible he was projecting his real life frustration into his work. Didn’t even in Biwi No1 he still made karishma’s character responsible for EMA too because she didn’t give sex to her husband for years? I watched that movie so long ago so don’t remember that part but saw someone mentioning it once in this forum. 

My be David's wife also never gave him any and stayed busy with pooja path. 

More like cheating no.1 

Another forgettable one
