It’s interesting to see women directors in India pushing the envelope to explore themes. After we had Farah Khan doing a ‘boys’ film (Main Hoon Na), the following year, Vinta Nanda, a past master at TV soaps, turned the tables on the macho brigade in Bollywood by doing the kind of angst-laden film on suburban paranoia that would normally go to a male director like Mahesh Bhatt.

Since then, there have been shades of love in the game play of Pavitra and Eijaz. The makers also got Jasmin's alleged boyfriend Aly to boost her game and then there was a marriage proposal on national television by Rahul Vaidya.

For many, the relationships are a game for survival, some "fake romance" their way into the game and some are just antics to boost viewership ratings.

Even though Bollywood started dealing with the subject of Dostana, it is the Sanjay Sharma-directed Dunno Y... Na Jaane Kyun that will be a more serious attempt at portraying the cause.
