Sister Midnight

In this fantastical punk comedy written and directed by Karan Kandhari, a frustrated and misanthropic newlywed gives free rein to her feral impulses.

A newly arranged marriage. An oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are awkward and alone-together. Unpredictable Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her total lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbours, and her bumbling spouse until the nocturnal world of Bombay and its inhabitants lead her to face her own strange behaviours.

“The film’s main asset is Apte, a gifted physical comedian who puts the dead into deadpan, and loads every gesture with an aggressive, almost demented slap-stick infused humour.” – Wendy Ide, Screen International
