Aruna Shields Movie Mr Singh Mrs Mehta
The film is about two Indian couples living in London and ideally should have been shot as a bi-lingual or in English. Out of the four leading cast, two stars Aruna Shields and Lucy Hassan are Brit-Asian actors who don’t know Hindi.
Going bold and baring all, Aruna Shields nude is the most talked about pretty young thing in the entertainment fraternity.
Aruna stress that nudity is not highlighted in the film. It’s only shot from sideways. She says she has absolutely “no issues” with her nude scenes in the movie which is about adultery.
Society is not willing to take extra marital affairs, they take it as accidents which happends to others. You only get a jolt when it actually happens to you or to someone you know. It is a take on four dramatic characters. Mrs. Singh (Aruna Shields), an agony aunt columnist, is obviously agonized upon discovering her husband’s infidelity. Mr. Singh (Naved Aslam) and Mrs. Mehta (Lucy Hassan) are having an extra-marital affair, despite being ostensibly happy with their respective marriages. However his wife has confidence in Ashwin’s talent. This causes Mrs. Singh (Aruna Shields) and Mr. Mehta (Prashant Narayanan) to be drawn to each other and seek comfort in each other’s company.
Ashwin is an upcoming painter, however she is living his life own his wife. This puts him in a spot.
Considering that Bollywood has so few adult films to offer, this one’s a rare experience. In one way the film is a type of wife swapping, eventhough unintentional. And the fact that it is dealt with a degree of understatement and maturity, with a great music score (Ustad Shujat Hussain Khan and Sharang Dev) to translate the emotional quotient on to the screen, makes it a decent watch. Director Pravesh made sure that there were very minimal crew members are present while shooting the nude scenes. The film is filled with kissing and nude scence. Aruna Shields did a wonderfull job and the nude scence in a very comfortable manner. The movie is not meant to titillate anyone so there were no vulgar scenes. Every shot is done very aesthetically.
The film is a refreshing walk off the beaten Bollywood track and scores on its minimalist approach to matrimonial discord.
