The Perfect Husband is the debut feature film of Priya Singh Paul, an Indian-Jewish filmmaker.

The Perfect Husband is the beautiful story of Jaya [21], who, inspired by the Shakespearean ideal of "the marriage of true minds" and heavily influenced by the American trend of "finding your own mate," rebels against tradition and family.

She sets out to find a man who truly loves and values her – one who does not treat her like a vassal meant only to satisfy his needs, like some men do !

The film is a funny, sad, satirical, serious, compassionate, and wicked revelation of the follies and foibles of a society that considers the birth of a girl "a curse," where abuse by the husband is taken for granted, and a woman's worth is judged by three factors alone—that she be married by the age of 25, that she should amply satisfy the monetary demands of her in-laws, and that she produce a male heir within a year of holy matrimony!
