That Thing Called Love: An Unusual Romance and the Mumbai Rain

A male chauvinist who has no qualms about cheating on his wife; a dutiful husband who waits patiently for his wife to shed her emotional baggage from a past relationship; a coquettish receptionist who is also a call girl; an adventurous gay who is always on the lookout for casual flings ... Such indeed are the characters around Mayank Sahai, the twenty-nine-year-old adsales manager of a leading match-making website. Mayank lives in disillusionment, looking for that perfect woman who would bring alive his dream of true love. The irony arises when he finds his ideal partner in an older happily married woman. The dreamer in Mayank sets aside ground realities to flow with natural impulses, leading to a dangerously complicated relationship. That Mayank s love affair with Revathi unfolds during the course of one Mumbai monsoon, the first that he experiences, only makes it an even more surreal experience. Will Mayank s romance ever strike a balance between fantasy and reality?
