COMIC BELIEF

Kiran Rao’s has two new brides (Nitanshi Goel and Pratibha Ranta) getting lost, only to come of age and achieve their potential. The comedy drama takes a satirical, gentle route to smash patriarchy and in doing so paints endearing portraits of its female characters.

It’s Rao’s first film in 13 years, a long interval, signalled the rise of an ingenious, nuanced voice in the Hindi film industry.
