The Psychological Thriller Approach

Consider the short film Kshamapana or the anthology Mithai (Kannada segment). These stories don't glorify open relationships; they dissect them. One significant segment featured a veteran Kannada actor playing a husband who enters a "swinging" agreement with his wife to save their dying marriage.
