Unhooked English 2012

Unhooked Single and zesty Anamika revels in courting the men she fancies, but with words alone, careful not to indulge her physical desires. She is determined to lose her virginity to that man alone who commits. Uday, her married friend, based in Amsterdam, thinks differently. Strongly attracted to her, he cajoles her to give in to him; for her own good, he claims. Denying the body is wrong and unnatural in his view. But Anamika believes her latest find, Shekhar, a MNC professional, is getting serious about her and will soon propose. She waits it out, supported by her two chums -- Mohini, a divorcee who has affairs as a matter of necessity, and Preeti, a careerist, now seeking marriage desperately. But Shekhar seems in no hurry to commit. Uday meanwhile steps up his pursuit with frequent mails and calls. Anamika is in a dilemma. Should she nail down Shekhar? Or should she finally accept Uday's proposition and venture into the unknown?
