Meanwhile, Kartik (Reef Karim), tries to maintain a long distance relationship with his friend Rachna (Pooja Kumar) and bored housewife Sangita (Sireesha Katragadda) is neglected by her workaholic husband (Gaurang Vyas).
She makes a call to her Telugu-speaking mother and works on housework. Sangita’s husband had been laid off and had lost her job without her knowledge, but he was too ashamed to tell her.

Flavors Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 7.2 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 429.
Flavors is the new gold-standard for Indo-American cinema, and sets the bar *very* high. This is the most grin-, guffaw-, chuckle-, and howl-inducing film I have seen in a very long time. Directors Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru have accomplished something that I have long suspected and seldom seen – that comedy can be fast-paced, clean, heartening, and insightful without compromising the genre.
So go see Flavors for the chattiness and character-development of Robert Altman, the non-linearity and parallel storylines of Quentin Tarantino, and the quirkiness and ultimate humanity of R K Narayan. And then go see it again, this time with a shameless grin of anticipation plastered all over your mug!
Critics Rating by Rotten Tomatoes User, from Rotten Tomatoes give 2.5 star out of 5 Star.
