Kavita Daswani’s debut effort stylishly tells the story of an Indian girl and her saga of getting married. Anju, the daughter of a rich Sindhi jeweler, remains unmarried at the age of twenty-plus while her fellow girlfriends and even younger cousins are getting married in droves. With advancing age and no matrimonial offers, Anju’s parents, especially her mother, get frantic, incorporating the aid of their widespread family and intricate network of friends in order to garner eligible prospects. But it's all to no avail; whether due to bad planetary influence or Anju’s less than fair complexion -- or just plain bad luck -- no one knows. Not all the efforts of numerous swamis or countless fortune-tellers or famous matchmaking gurus in the world can help Anju snare a bridegroom.
