On their third anniversary, Priya (Pooja Chopra) repeatedly tells Vinay that she loves him. Priya also refuses his suggestion that they retreat into the bedroom of their five-star suite, and informs Vinay that she is leaving him for good. The complication is that Vinay and Priya are both married, and while he has told his wife about his lover, Priya hasn’t managed to share the good news with her husband. What happens next? It involves a red suitcase. Neeraj Pandey’s Ouch is little more than a platform for Bajpayee’s seriocomic skills – watch his expressions change as Priya unburdens herself of one harsh truth after another. Chopra is good too, but the two-hander is about as memorable as a fling.
