37th tiatr Competition 2011 - ATAM KONN?

What type of love marriage is this?

Lover turned husband soon started changing colours .
He, an MBA degree holder is superstitious too. Like his father, he too has problem with ‘Tiklem’ (or Tikttem – A girl child born after 3 males /brothers brings bad luck to family etc) . The girl is not ‘tiklem’ but the story very well cooked up by his father for she did not bring in enough dowry. Girl’s brother did managed to give half of the dowry and working very hard to pay the remaining half.

Father, the dictator, rules the house. He even sent his younger son James back to Bombay the very next day he arrived for not supporting his father's superstitious views. He studies there and came home for vacations.

Doubting husband started torturing his pregnant wife, now wants divorce, he drives her out.

Father now seen very happy with his second Son’s wife Cynthia. Their marriage took place in Bombay without even informing at home.

Cynthia’s birthday Party (backed by her father-in-law) where everyone is invited including her brothers. It’s time for introduction - Cynthia introduces her brothers –
‘my elder brother Fr. Noel, Dr. Romeo my second brother, Leo the third and I am the youngest’
