Infamous for his dramatic films idolized after retro Bollywood cinema, director Dharmesh Darshan is returning after three years in his grandiose "Bewafaa". A great deal of time and effort has been put into this Boney Kapoor produced venture, and quite obviously, there is a lot riding on it. You don´t put together Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpai, Sushmita Sen and Kareena Kapoor and call anything less than big. This year´s much anticipated drama is expected to be big, and after hits like Raja Hindustani and Dhadkan (and duds like Mela and Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya), Dharmesh has a lot to live up to and prove as well.

Framed, but not replicated from, the 1960´s ´Gumrah´, "Bewafaa" traverses through traditional Indian culture to modern day times. Infedility vs. cultural faith are all explored in the east vs. west. dramatization. Anjali (Kareena Kapoor) is from Canada and has grown up a western young girl who believes in modern day culture despite her family being the traditional Indian family. While she has found love in a musician, Indian Raja (Akshay Kumar), her family is arranging for the marriage of her elder sister Aarti (Sushmita Sen).

The man she is marrying is the succesful Aditya (Anil Kapoor), a wealthy man who is filled with self awareness and strong business sense. Aditya has no one really but his best friends, Dil (Manoj Bajpai) and Pallavi (Shamita Shetty) who are the ones closest to him. His awaited marriage to Aarti is somewhat of a second coming for him where he can leave all that he has done for his professional life and begin planning a loving family.

And that he does until tragedy strikes. Aarti faces complications during the birth of their first child, twins in fact, and passes. This propels Anjali´s family to push her into marriage with Aditya, not only to fill the void of a wife but of a mother to take care of the new twins. Anjali is forced to accept and moves to India to be with her new "husband", leaving Raja and his heightened musical career behind. Anjali must now drop her modern characteristics and try to be a traditional Indian wife all the while pining for her real love Raja in Canada.

Bewafaa describes her struggles which are heightened when Raja comes to India. Will she embrace him as a friend or lover?
