7 Days is a romantic comedy set in the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, those uncertain days when people thought the virus was everywhere and on everything. Karan Soni and Geraldine Viswanathan star as Ravi and Rita, Indian Americans navigating the traditions of arranged marriage and the American style of dating and dating and dating. When Ravi and Rita were arranged for a date by their marriage-hungry mothers, they had no plans to see each other much past the first date.
For Ravi, Rita is another in a seemingly endless series of dates with women he hopes to marry. Each date is essentially an interview for the position of his wife. They need to demonstrate companionability and be able to get the approval of his mother. Rita, on the other hand, is only dating men like Ravi to maintain her comfortable rut. Rita has an apartment in L.A that her mother pays for and a lifestyle that consists of time spent on the internet and time spent pining for a married man, referred to in the movie only as ‘Daddy.’
