When Dev finds out his wife is cheating on him, he secretly blackmails his wife and her lover as a form of revenge. Dev, a toilet paper salesman, in an attempt to spice up his rather monotonous and boring married life, returns home early one day to only find his wife in bed with her lover, Ranjit.

Missing

Missing is a film directed and written by Mukul Abhyankar and which stars Tabu, Manoj Bajpayee and Annu Kapoor in main roles.
Sushant Dubey checks in at a beach resort of Mauritius late night with his lovely wife Aparna and three-year-old daughter, Titli, who has high fever. As Aparna wakes up the next morning, she is horrified to find Titli missing. The distressed couple goes from pillar to post in a vastly spread resort to search for her, but Titli seems to have disappeared. The police is informed and the most reputed police officer Ramkhilawan Buddu of the Mauritian police force enters the scene. Different people, different viewpoints, different versions about the child going missing turns into a cat and mouse game.

A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place is a 2018 American thriller film directed by John Krasinski, who also stars in the film with Emily Blunt, his real-life spouse. The screenplay was written by Krasinski, Bryan Woods, and Scott Beck, based on a story by Woods and Beck. The plot follows a family of four who must live life in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt by sound.
A Quiet Place is a monster-movie allegory for parenting in a world gone very, very wrong. A couple with kids in real life, Krasinski and Emily Blunt here play parents in a world where even the slightest noise can lead to sudden, violent death: Training their children to be self-sufficient without making a sound is as unique a challenge as well. Opening with a card that reads "Day 89," the movie finds our unnamed family gathering provisions in an upstate New York community that has become a ghost town. As they sign to each other — the daughter is deaf, and presumably, knowing sign language helped them keep each other alive as their neighbors were killed — we learn that the spidery creatures who have wreaked havoc have exceptional hearing. Being blind, that's the only way they can locate things to eat. Two parents and three children start the long walk back home. In a beautifully staged, heartbreaking scene, one of the children makes a mistake and is killed. A little over a year later, Mom is pregnant. Who would bring a child into this world — and how would one even manage labor and delivery quietly? A soundproofing scheme is being planned, though no one is eager to find out if it works. The four live in an Edward Hopper-ish farm house with a big red barn and corn silos next door. The movie then talks about the clever adjustments they've made to turn life's volume down, and, in an early clattering mishap, we both learn how intense the danger of discovery is and get a quick hit of already-needed comic relief.
The film has Emily Blunt    as Evelyn Abbott -   The mother of Regan and Marcus and the wife of Lee. She is pregnant with their fourth child at the start of the film. John Krasinski as Lee Abbott - The father of Regan and Marcus and the husband of Evelyn. Millicent Simmonds as Regan Abbott - Lee and Evelyn's deaf daughter and Marcus's sister. Noah Jupe as Marcus Abbott - The hearing son of Lee and Evelyn and Regan’s brother.

Midnight Sun

Midnight Sun is a 2018 American romantic drama film, directed by Scott Speer and written by Eric Kirsten, and based on the 2006 Japanese film of the same name. The film stars Bella Thorne, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Rob Riggle, and follows a teenage girl with the disease xeroderma pigmentosum, which prevents her from going out into sunlight. When she meets a boy, she struggles to decide whether to tell him about her condition or pretend to live a normal life.
Midnight Sun is a romantic tearjerker about 17-year-old Katie Price (Bella Thorne), sheltered at home since childhood with a rare genetic condition, a life-threatening sensitivity to sunlight. Having only her father Jack (Rob Riggle) for company, Katie's world opens up after dark when she ventures outside to play her guitar. One night, her dreams come true when she's noticed and asked out by her longtime crush Charlie (Patrick Schwarzenegger), whom she's secretly watched from her bedroom window for years. As they embark on nightly summer excursions, Katie's risk to sunlight grows and she's presented with the gut-wrenching dilemma of whether she can live a normal life with her newfound soul mate.
The film has Bella Thorne as Katie Price, Patrick Schwarzenegger as Charlie, Katie’s love interest, Rob Riggle as Jack Price, Katie’s father, Quinn Shephard as Morgan, Tiera Skovbye as Zoe Carmichael, Paul McGillion as Blake Jones, Ken Tremblett as Mark, Jenn Griffin as Barb, Nicholas Coombe as Garver, Alex Pangburn as Wes and Austin Obiajunwa as Owen.
