Shukranu- Hui Emotion Ki Nasbandi is a recent release on Zee5 platform. The film is set in one of the darkest phases of Indian democracy, at the time of emergency, when a lot of young men were sterilized against their wishes.
Our protagonist Inder (Divyendu Sharma) is one of such many men. What worsens the situation for him is that his marriage gets fixed, right after he had his forced sterilization.
In trying to handle this, he lies, escapes situations, does stupid things but somehow manages to hide this fact from his wife. All the miscommunication, mistrust and assumptions all lead to a whole lot of engaging chaos.
As the plot develops, an interesting chapter unfolds and we get to know that Inder is having an extramarital affair. His life goes on a roller coaster from there on as Inder tries to hide everything from his innocent wife who is starting to realize that something is wrong.
