Mirch

Mumbai-based Maanav is disappointed when film producer Nitin rejects his story, and asks him to write an erotic one. Maanav decides to adapt some stories from the Panchtantra - tales from ancient India - written at a time when no subject was taboo. He narrates a story about Kashi and his seductive and seemingly faithful wife, Maya; as well as of naive, and elderly Raja Nirgun Singh and his younger wife, Lavni. Nitin appears disappointed and asks him to write about life during the 21st century. Accordingly, Maanav includes a tale about Manjula and her suspicious husband, Manjul; and of a parsimonious Sindhi married male, Asu Hotmal, who seeks sexual intimacy from a prostitute in a hotel room. Maanav will face another challenge when Nitin will ask him to include a common link between the four short stories.
