We follow a group of impeccably attired women as they go about managing their families and social lives. And sometimes, in between, something deeper is captured about the singular universes these women inhabit — the difference in social mores of wealthy wives in Atlanta and Miami, or the unique customs of those in New Jersey. “Bollywood Wives,” unfortunately, lacks both the sly self-awareness of the “Real Housewives” franchise and the dramatic ruthlessness. Of the four Wives, three are married to former Hindi film stars, and one is a former star herself, but all of these figures’ heydays have passed. The Wives hold vague jobs designing jewelry or clothing, but these professions tend to languish in the background of an endless series of lunches.
