Story
In Mumbai, sister Prabha’s routine is disturbed when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband
Her younger roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a place in the city where she can get intimate with her boyfriend.
The first Indian film to be screened in competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 30 years
a film played on bleak images that evoke nostalgic despair, it is a joy to watch.
Three women struggle to navigate their lonely lives in the city as the camera follows them in public places and into their private lives
I was more charmed by the creators' the attention to detail in sculpting a Mumbai that goes against the popular image and instead shows you its twisted nature.
Overall, it’s a good experience thanks to the soundtrack and good use of text design (especially the red font)
I could relate to the characters, having lived in Mumbai for decades, but the film went a bit off towards the end and you could blame me for losing track there.
(Seen at the Mumbai premiere at MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024)
