possible spoilers contained
even if the art-house crowd can convince themselves that there is something meritorious in this film i strongly refute it and suggest that life is way too short to sit through 90 minutes of this - the film could have been condensed into a 3 minute short and the same message would have come across - happiness while not guaranteed in arranged marriage is short-lived and ultimately doomed in adultery. the protagonists are uninteresting and under-developed, the long periods of protracted silence merely frustrate and the film's only positive (and it is not much of a redeeming feature) that i can find is the black and white cinematography
