All marriages have 7 phere. But this one has a half extra. Director Isshaan Trivedi’s movie ‘7 1/2 Phere’ is a fun flick that takes a look into a household filled with colorful characters amid marriage preparations.
The film has Juhi Chawla playing Asmi Ganatra, a first time director who has been given the task by her company to cover a reality show on the marriage of a Joshi family in Mumbai.
The Joshis don’t know how to react to Asmi’s proposal to cover the marriage of their daughter for a TV network. Though the bride's father is willing to go along with the idea, there are some characters in the family who are thoroughly opposed to the idea.
And there is Manoj Joshi (Irfaan Khan), the bride-to-be’s youngest
uncle who develops a soft corner for Asmi. Getting an inkling of Manoj’s feelings, Asmi decides to use him for the project.
With his help she gets hidden cameras installed in the house. Then, as the hidden cameras begin to roll, the inner life of the Joshi family is captured on reel, unknown to them.
Slowly but surely, skeletons begin to tumble out of the Joshis’ closet as the cameras catch the well-kept secrets of some characters in the family. Chaos and confusion reigns supreme, until Manoj realizes that he has opened up the Pandora’s box.
Besides Juhi and Irfaan, ‘7 ˝ Phere’ also stars Anang Desai, Neena Kulkarni, Lalit Tiwari, Manish Choudhary, Manini De. The film has music by Shantanu Moitra.
