The first Indian film to receive the prestigious Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024
Story
In Mumbai, nurse Prabha’s routine is disrupted when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a place in the city to have intimacy with her lover.. "Prabha" (Kani Kusruti) is a nurse in a crowded Mumbai hospital, who shares her tiny apartment with the usually skint "Anu" (the divine Prabha).
"Anu", on the other hand, has a different emotional problem
We quickly learn that she is married, but her husband left her some time ago to work in Germany and she has not heard from him for over a year. She has fallen in love with a young Muslim man, "Shiaz" (Hridhu Haroon) but she knows full well that neither her colleagues nor her family will ever allow such a relationship, let alone any marriage – so perhaps running away is their only solution. Meanwhile, while these women deal with their own domestic problems, their friend ‘Parvaty’; (Chhaya Kadam) is facing eviction from her home as developers want to move in.
Their threats have given way to more practical action as her electricity has been disconnected
Faced with this, she decides it’s time to return to her oceanside village, where at least she has her own home. Compatible with her situation, the two friends agree to accompany her, and while they’re there, we discover through conversations and flashbacks something about how each woman got where she is now and glimpse what opportunities might present themselves for their futures. This is a delicately told story set amidst the hustle and bustle of a city that never stops.
Manoj” (Azees Nedumangad) must decide whether to stay true to her past or look to what might come next
These women care about others all the time, but gradually they become aware that they need to start caring more about themselves – and “Prabha” who has caught the interest of the kind “Dr. There are some solid shots that capture both the bustling (and often rainy) urban bustle, the beauty of the water and the peaceful ancient symbolism carved into the caves, and the whole narrative poignantly illustrates the choices (or lack thereof) these women can make in a society where conformity is the order of the day. It can be quite entertaining at times, these women are not characters made of sackcloth and ashes, but there is still a strong message that creates an engaging and character-filled study that is worth a few hours.
