  • Midway through the trailer, the protagonist Chintu Tyagi, played by Kartik Aaryan, rants about his sex life to his friend, and in the process, makes mockery of marital rape.

    "Biwi se sex maang lein toh hum bikhaari. Biwi ko sex na de toh hum atyachaari. Aur kisi tarah jugaad laga ke usse sex haasil kar lena toh balaatkari bhi hum hai," he says.
