    The Affair

    An unfaithful wife becomes jealous when his lover is going to marry a girl. Her husband is tolerant all the way even knowing her infidelity. On the other hand, a self made businessman is eager to know the meaning of an English word his banker considers him.

    Spoiler ahead!!!!!!

    Two parallel story. One is, Mosharraf Karim, a businessman, looking for a word meaning buying a dictionary. The English word his banker told him. His son argue with the banker for correct meaning. However, Mosharraf Karim is the best, even in foreign, he proved it.

    The other one is, Abir Chatterjee, where he is a good-for-nothing husband of Nusrat Jahan. His wife is making love with another man, but knowing everything he has no feeling, no reaction, no backwash, not a single word. He is infirm all in all. His wife making sex with her lover and then when her lover got married, she comeback to her husband and then she makes sex with her husband. Her husband has no reaction, no huff, just doing sex and forget everything, forgetting this, that his wife once (may be several times) slept with another man, and he has nothing to say. One of the least self-respect and stupid man in the world. By the way, the unnatural lips of Nusrat Jahan worsen the movie experience.

    The authority gives a message to the society that, even your wife does anything in your absence, even your wife sleeps with anyone, don't take step to get back her, just wait for her comeback and forget everything. Thus, promoting Adultery, Extramarital affair, Extramarital sex. How ridiculous!

    A good film(if your expectation is low)

    I think some people are rating highly than the film is !some people are getting too harsh !! I would rate this film 6/6.5 ...For me ,Abir's performance was the poorest .Nusrat acted good but dialogue throwing is not that good ..maybe she should work more on his voice ..she can do better I believe ...I loved most Mosharrof Karim .. His part of story was too good ....If that part was bigger ,I would rate this film at least 8 !! But I think it had potential ,but not worked on that with the most hardwork !! But you can watch one time with less expectation.
