Aarav gets impressed with her simplicity and selflessness so much that he immediately offers her a dream job in his plush Dubai hotel. In the diary, Hari mentions about Aarav (Emraan Hashmi), the multi millionaire business tycoon and also an owner of a whopping 108 hotels! It was actually a love at first sight for Aarav the very moment he sees Vasudha, who works as a florist in his Mumbai hotel. Also to act as an everlasting memory, he gets a tattoo done of his name of Vasudha's arm. The 20 years flashback shows Hari leaving Vasudha within a year of marriage, but not before making his presence 'felt' in her life. But before leaving the home with the ashes, he leaves a diary for his son (and the audience) to tell the unknown tale of Vasudha. When everyone is fast asleep, he escapes with Vasudha's ashes to be immersed in Bastar and not in river Ganga. That's when he visits his son's home to do the last rites of his dead wife… only to be shooed away by his son.
Amidst that time, he gets to know that Vasudha has set for heavenly abode. On the other hand, her old and weak husband Hari (Rajkumar Rao) is pouring his heart out to a doctor emphasizing on the fact that Vasudha did visit him wearing a red dress, something that the doctor rubbishes as his hallucination. The film starts off with the old, tired and worn out Vasudha Prasad (Vidya Balan) who is almost on the verge of collapsing on the streets of Bastar district. Will it give a new dimension to the 'concept' of onscreen 'extra-marital affair' or will it turn out to be a dead affair at the box-office, let's analyze. This week's release HAMARI ADHURI KAHANI also treads on the similar lines (if not the same). Examples to this are in the form of classics like ARTH, SILSILA to the recent ones like MURDER, KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA, etc. A classic example of the same is that, while on one hand, showing an 'extra-marital affair' was never the in-thing here on the other hand, it was never even outdated! There have been many films that have been made on the sensitive yet bold topic of extra-marital affair. Hamari Adhuri Kahani Review & Review Rating
