Lately, Anviksha Punjabi can't seem to get anything right. She is in the middle of ending her second marriage, is barely keeping any friends, and repeatedly getting into trouble at work. And as if all that weren't enough, she must put up with her gregarious and over-bearing 67-year-old mother as a housemate. Afraid that if this goes on, she'll finally unravel completely, Anviksha decides that she needs a break - a Bollywood style, solo-trip across Europe kind of break. What she doesn't expect is that her mother, Smita Punjabi, will insist on coming along. The unlikely duo embarks on a journey complete with nudists, an unwelcome blast from the past, a British dog named Bhindi, and several eligible bachelors, and slowly, what was supposed to be a soul-searching journey for one, turns into a life-altering experience for two.

Excess Baggage

Ravinder Singh

I have forty minutes. Exactly forty minutes! 1) To find my fiance Avantika, in a bungalow decorated for our big fat wedding tonight. 2) Break her heart by telling her that I can't marry her. 3) And then, finally, rush to the airport to catch my flight to the US. Welcome to my wedding!

The Runaway Groom

The pandemic has put the world under lockdown. Meera too sits in her apartment, bored and longing to be outdoors. Her only source of comfort is cooking for her family. And then she meets Kevin, who lives in the flat above hers. Unable to see each other, the two connect nonetheless, talking across their balconies. Soon, Meera finds herself sending baskets of food, recipes and messages across to Kevin, and waiting for his replies. But fate has other plans, and Meera and Kevin's story might not have a happy ending after all.

Love Bites

Aradhana has almost accepted her lonely and unhappy life - one in which her busy and distracted husband has no time for her, and her own existence feels devoid of purpose. That is, until a chance encounter in a stalled lift with a charming and immensely talented music teacher, Yash, brings colour and joy into her bleak life. She begins to take lessons from him and slowly the music brings them closer emotionally. Weeks later, Aradhana stands at the crossroads of life, unsure of her next step, when an unexpected twist of fate arrives to test her further. An Unfinished Melody is a moving story about love, happiness and fidelity.

An Unfinished Melody

Tara is living a blessed life in the maximum city with her husband Abhimanyu, the love of her life. At the pinnacle of her career, she is the apple of her parents' eyes and hasn't spotted a wrinkle yet - so far, the 30s are looking great! Nothing fazes Tara - not a foul-mouthed best friend or a food-burning arch-nemesis in the form of her maid - not even a landlady who chats with ghosts. And then, Tara discovers that she's pregnant, and suddenly, all that well-honed composure crumbles. It doesn't help that she's got an equally jittery (if supportive) husband by her side. Now, Tara must face her anxieties about parenthood as she navigates friendships, marriage and career, all the while dealing with the fact that her body and mind are steadily feeling like they belong to someone else. An irreverent, honest and funny journey down the road - potholes and all - to (accidental) parenthood!
