Esha Deol Movies

True to form for a Bollywood star, actress Esha Deol crossed numerous genre boundaries in her role selection, often essaying many genres in a single project. Born into one of the most famous show-business families in India -- the child of thespian parents Hema Malini and Dharmendra, granddaughter of producer Jaya Chakravarthy, and half sister of celebrity actors Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol -- Esha studied at the Jamnabai Narsee School, then did undergraduate and graduate-level work at Oxford University, majoring in media arts and computer technology.

Deol subsequently returned to India and debuted onscreen with a role in the 2002 feature Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche; though the film underperformed at the Indian box office, Deol's work in it received high praise and not only enabled Deol to win the Lux New Face Award for her contributions, but secured a bright future for the burgeoning actress. Subsequent projects included the 2004 Yuva, the 2005 Shaadi No. 1, and the 2006 Ankahee. In 2008, Deol joined co-stars Tusshar Kapoor and Paresh Rawal for a plum role in director Ashwani Dheer's crime comedy One Two Three. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Upon departing from their hometown of Bangalore for the rolling hills of Ootay, Abhay and Sachdeva will come into contact with a number of people who have strong opinions concerning the institution of marriages.

Veer (Zayed Khan), Raj (Fardeen Khan), and Aryan (Sharman Joshi) are three close friends whose lives have taken a turn for the worst -- all three have lost their jobs, and all three have wives who are too busy with their own lives and careers to tend to their husbands in the bedroom. Diya (Esha Deol) is trying to launch her career in show business, Bhavna (Ayesha Takia) is obsessed with her spiritual side, and Sonia (Soha Ali Khan) is occupied with her law practice. Things are so grim for the husbands that they begin pondering suicide, but one Mr. Kothari (Satish Shah) comes to the rescue when he gives them jobs, and then asks a very special favor of them.

Veer, Raj, and Aryan are happy to go along, but ending their relationships with the beautiful and willing women proves more difficult than they imagined, and the situation becomes stickier when the eligible bachelorettes strike up a friendship with the three betrayed wives. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
