A Suitable Arrangement: A Tale of Love in 90s Mumbai
This is the story of Anjali Deshpande and Aditya Kulkarni, two individuals brought together not by choice, but by the age-old tradition of arranged marriage in a rapidly changing 1990s Mumbai.
Anjali, a bright and unassuming girl from a humble, yet culturally rich, Maharashtrian family in Girgaon, lives a life steeped in tradition and simple joys. Her world is defined by close-knit family bonds, academic pursuits, and the romantic solace found within the pages of Marathi literature. She dreams quietly of a life with purpose, though she knows her destiny is largely in the hands of her well-meaning, conservative parents.
Aditya, on the other hand, is the sophisticated scion of the influential and wealthy Kulkarni industrialist family from Dadar. Having studied abroad, he embodies the modern, globalized India, navigating boardrooms with ease and envisioning a future of innovation. Despite his progressive outlook, he remains deeply rooted in his family's expectations, particularly when it comes to marriage.
