Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh (English: Me, My Wife and Him) is a 2005 Indian romantic comedy film, directed by Chandan Arora, starring Rajpal Yadav, Rituparna Sengupta and Kay Kay Menon as the leading actors. The film released on 7 October 2005. The story was loosely based on the 1989 Malayalam movie Vadakkunokkiyantram. Singer Mohit Chauhan used his song Guncha Koi from his album 'Sapney' in this movie.

Plot[edit]

The movie is about a qualified but short middle-aged man named Mithilesh (Rajpal Yadav) and his insecurities about his height and personality when he marries Veena,(Rituparna Sengupta). He had never thought such a woman would marry a man his height or looks. As his married life progresses with his loving and devoted wife, his insecurities continue to grow. He becomes jealous of his friend Saleem, (Varun Badola), Veena's childhood friend Akash, (Kay Kay Menon) and others who he claims are infatuated with his wife. Slowly, he suspects a change in Veena's behavior and starts believing she wants a divorce. Being a loving husband he confesses his fear to Veena and frees her from all her duties. But the hidden truth, disclosed at the very end, ultimately brings the couple closer.
