Anuparna Roy’s debut drama follows two women sharing a cramped, deteriorating flat in Mumbai: Thooya, an actor who also does sex work, and Shweta, a call-centre employee. Their initially awkward cohabitation develops into an emotionally intimate relationship whose romantic nature remains deliberately uncertain, while the confined setting reflects the social limits placed on both women.

The review highlights male entitlement as a central theme, from Thooya’s tiring encounters with clients to Shweta’s demanding male customers. Thooya is troubled by a childhood friend married at 13, while Shweta seeks a husband through a matchmaking site; although the film is praised for sensitivity and strong feeling, its slight plot and impressionistic scenes are said not to leave a lasting impact.
