Smrithi and Manohar had been separately living for the past 8 months. She supposes her husband having an extramarital affair, as he failed to show up the love they shared before and due to some random texts that she noticed on his phone.

Review by Julie C. Sheppard:

The short Twofold is an in-depth exploration of a struggling duo. Six months fly by after the opening divorce proposition scene of despondency and sadness. Marriage separation is accurately revealed as extremely painful. The heart wrenching narrative gradually explains that the husband may have been failing to support his wife due to a reason beyond his control – – a behaviourally challenging illness. The film exposes the challenges of health problems in a marriage, in addition to the toxicity of keeping secrets.

The two actors playing the roles of wife and husband perform with such conviction. The actress playing the wife wants to sever the virtually unbearable relationship but then transitions to desperation as she frantically begs for forgiveness and another chance to start again with her estranged husband once she hears about his illness. The actor playing the husband is able to maintain a lifeless and almost catatonic performance at times, as the reason for his marital negligence is discovered.

Eventual resolution in this moving screenplay is even sweeter given the well-edited flashback scenes of the couple’s relationship, full of love and laughter. Other effective filmic elements are the use of lulling vocals, and clips of the movie that the couple viewed together during happier days. Fortunately, the audience can breathe a sigh of relief when the duo is reunited once the truth is eventually exposed.
