Ek Chotisi Love Story [English: One Small Love Story] is a 2002 romantic film directed by Shashilal K. Nair. The film is a copy of the sixth part of Krzysztof Kieslowskis Dekalog -- "Thou shalt not commit adultery" or A short film about love. The name is a pun, which literally means "Just a Small Love Story", but is also a take on the love affair of a young boy [Hindi "Chota" means young] with a senior girl. It is a story of 15 year old Aditya [Aditya Seal] and his voyeuristic love of his nameless neighbor [Manisha Koirala] featuring bathroom masturbation scenes - which are virtually unseen in Bollywood. The film created some controversy when Manisha Koirala asked for a court order to stay the release of the film pending deletion of some shots she found to be objectionable.
Soon Aditya''s hobby turns into infatuation as he begins to follow her movements closely. He feels sexually drawn towards her when he sees her coming out of her bath, her hair dripping wet. He feels jealous when he catches her making love with her boyfriend [Ranvir Shorey].
All this while Manisha is unaware of her secret admirer. And when the young boy musters up the courage and speaks his heart out to Manisha she takes it in her stride and gives him a little teaser on adolescent love.
