Mr and Mrs Iyer
Meenakshi Iyer (Konkona Sensharma) is travelling by bus with her baby son Santanam, and before boarding, is introduced to wildlife photographer Raja Chowdhary (Rahul Bose), who undertakes to look after them on the journey. The bus begins its journey through a remote and mountainous region in rural India but is stopped by an angry mob of Hindu extremists who are searching for Muslims. Born and raised in an orthodox Brahmin family, Meenakshi is shocked to learn that Raja is Muslim, but in order to save him, she lies, saying that they are a married Hindu couple 'Mr and Mrs Iyer.' As their religious differences are forgotten, they begin to be attracted to each other... Winner of Best Feature Film, 2002 Hawaii International Film Festival.
