Radhika Apte, who once ruled the Indian OTT space, is seen in a role unlike any she’s taken on before. She explores the chaotic journey of Uma, a rebellious small-town misfit who finds herself completely out of place in the bustling city of Mumbai.
The film, according to those who have watched it, is a mix of bold, unpredictable moments (and a lot of dark humour), offering a fascinating exploration of a woman’s quest for freedom and self-discovery.
