Good Wife Poster
Nearly one minute teaser of Good Wife opens to a wedding anniversary party in a hotel to a voiceover, “There is a couple here . . . who are celebrating their 16 years of happily wedded life.” In the visual we have glimpses of actors Priyamani and Sampath Raj having a pleasant family time with their children. Subsequently, we have actor Sampath Raj asking Priyamani, “Is not being truthful to each other the very foundation of our relationship?” We get a response from a hand puppet, “He is lying.”
Suddenly there is a frenzy among people in the hotel over a video clip. Someone says, “Taru . . . you got to see this.” We then learn it is a clip of Sampath Raj being intimate with someone else. Following which we see Sampath Raj trying to convince Priyamani, “Please do not believe it. Someone is plotting this to trap me.” In a scene we have Priyamani’s child telling her, “You may have a soft corner for him. Do you know how much embarrassment he causes me?”
