Just finished watching “No Other Woman”, a well celebrated local film. This movie was a hit ! You’d think that it’s the usual “Mistress” movie where everybody ends up hating the mistress & wish her dead. To my amazement it’s not. On the contrary, I “feel” for the mistress, but wait ! I don’t even think she was one.

The story started with a regular married couple having their marital woes due to domestic disturbance from the in-laws. Here all the characters are well off, so there’s no Heaven & Earth Love Thing. The domestic disturbance was also very mild,no real threatening events,The only conflict was that the wife’s father think that the husband is not good enough for her. Boring!

Then comes the heiress. Husband gets a jackpot busines deal due to an attraction with the hotel magnate’s only daughter. A typical “what I want I get” kind a girl. It was all her idea, no strings attached, just having fun. In fact she even told the husband to never dare fall in love with her. Karma ! As the story progress, she ends up falling crazy in love with the husband. Wife finds out, acts all confrontational (not to mention hysterical).So typically everybody would want the husband & wife to reunite right ? Right. So husband dumps the heiress, heiress chases the husband, husband gets to a car accident. Husband wakes up in the hospital, reunites with the wife. The End. Happy ending ? Not really. Although the heiress was the antagonist, I feel that she was very much a victim here. She was just fooling around, doing her usual scheme. But the husband made her feel special, and we women are a sucker for this. No matter how beautiful, wealthy & successful we are. There’s really a truth to the saying- little things means a lot. He made her fall in love with him ! The monster !

In my honest opinion, the wife & heiress should have left the husband & went on with their lives. They both deserve better. So simply put, I don’t like how the story ended, and my favorite character is the Heiress. But that’s me LOL

The story’s setting was wonderful, the resort was picturesque. The houses were delightful. The clothes hmmm not bad for the wife, stunning for the heiress. And lastly, the tête-à-tête were just perfect. They were candid yet significant.

Overall, the ratings were right! It was a great movie! A collector’s item!
