After giving blockbusters like Raja Hindustani and Dhadkan, the Bollywood filmmaker Dharmesh Darshan is back again with his latest flick Bewafaa - The Unfaithful. The film’s all-star cast includes a number of big names that have witnessed success recently. There’s Anil Kapoor (whose performance in Musafir has been appreciated), Akshay Kumar (whose film Mujhse Shaadi Karoge has become a big hit), Kareena Kapoor (who is riding high thanks to the success of Hulchul) and Sushmita Sen (who benefited from the success of Main Hoon Na). It also stars Manoj Bajpai and Shamita Shetty in important roles. Since the movie can boast of big stars, director and producer (Boney Kapoor)… is it destined to set the box office on fire?

SYNOPSIS:

The film looks at a desi family living in Montreal Quebec. The parents (Nafisa Ali and Kabir Bedi) have brought up two beautiful sisters - Anjali (Kareena Kapoor and Aarti (Sushmita Sen). The siblings share a close bond and share the deepest secrets with each other.

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, Aarti dies after giving birth to twins and Anjali is abruptly married to her sister’s husband, Aditya (Anil Kapoor), who is an older business tycoon. They migrate to India but Aditya being workaholic neglects his wife. Anjali feels isolated and finds some love from her sister’s cute children. But the film takes a U-turn when Raja returns to the scene as a big, successful singer. Anjali has to choose between Aditya and children or her ex-lover Raja… a difficult dilemma!
