The Perfect Husband is the debut feature film of Priya Singh Paul, an Indian-Jewish filmmaker. Trained in film making in India and the US, she has built a considerable reputation for herself in India's competitive and demanding television scene. The film, a romantic comedy cum social satire, predominantly in English with a smattering of Hindi and Punjabi, is a modern and thought-provoking look at the Indian marriage 'game' – the quest for the only security symbol that most Indian women possesses: a husband, perfect or otherwise!The film was invited to the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January 2003 and shown in Cannes Film Festival in May 2004.However, a court case on flimsy ground by the co financier stalled the release.
