“Uma” (Radhika Apte) lives in a small tin

“Uma” (Radhika Apte) lives in a small tin box of an home with her new husband “Gopal” (Ashok Pathan). She hasn’t a clue how to cook their food and neither seem to have much appetite to consummate their nuptials, so the relationship is distant and she has a bit of a temper which the rather subdued gent tends to run away from (and drink). Luckily, she manages to befriend her neighbour “Sheetah” (Chhaya Kadam) and they share stories about how useless men are whilst she struggles with the boredom of life. She eventually decides to get a job as a cleaner which breaks up the inanity a little, but she also starts to find herself drawn more and more to the animal kingdom. A passing encounter with a goat, then a bird, starts to see her question her almost vampiric behaviour. When an even more curiously tragic incident occurs, the story becomes increasingly surreal and the lines between truth and fiction become almost macabrely blurred. Apte is quite entertaining here as her aggressive and slightly stand-offish character becomes more eccentrically engaging and Pathak also delivers quite well as the hapless husband, but I found the story all too weak and repetitive for too long before the last ten minutes or so finally raise some more interesting aspects of superstition, perhaps even witchcraft, and shines a light a little on the vagaries of her tight knit community who are quick to make snap judgements. Though it’s not graphic, it’s not for the squeamish and it’s those few scenes where most of the dark comedy kicks in, but again there weren’t really enough of them to sustain this. It has it’s moments and is worth a watch for “Uma” wandering lonely as a goatherd through the city beating a mop and pail, but it will look just as good on the telly.

Better as Reels than as a Film

Radhika Apte had been away from the screen for a while, and that alone made the trailer of Sister Midnight an exciting prospect. She seemed completely in her element. The trailer promised a quirky dark comedy with strong social subtext. Unfortunately, that promise is where it largely ends. My overall viewing experience was, frankly, quite meh. I found myself constantly checking the progress bar, wondering how much more was left.The film starts on a strong note. It wastes no time in establishing the central characters and their situation. The scenes are short, the editing is jumpy, and initially, it works. For a while, you do get what the trailer promised. Some moments are genuinely funny. In fact, this feels like a film that could be chopped into a hundred Instagram reels - watched in any order, scrolled through casually - and perhaps enjoyed more than as a single feature-length experience.However, while the quirky editing and soundtrack hold up in isolation, the overall narrative - or rather the lack of one - seriously tests your patience. As the film moves into darker territory with elements of magical realism, it fails to generate much emotional impact.Radhika Apte's stellar screen presence is the only thing that keeps the film from completely collapsing. She is the sole reason I managed to sit through it.Approach this one only if you are genuinely into experimental cinema.

This movie is pure chaos, and I loved every second of it. It tells the story of Uma, a young bride trapped in an awkward arranged marriage in Mumbai. As loneliness and frustration build, Uma's descent into animalistic urges becomes both horrifying and strangely liberating. Visually, it's stunning-vibrant, chaotic, and beautifully unsettling. There's a surreal, punk-rock energy that reminded me of Wes Anderson on a horror binge. It's messy in a way that feels deliberate, and I admired the boldness of its style. Not every moment works, but the ones that do are unforgettable. This is one of those films that makes you feel like you've stepped into a dream-or maybe a nightmare.
