Director Payal Kapadia, the recipient of the Grand Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, offers a captivating exploration of modern, working-class Mumbai in her latest film. The narrative focuses on two roommates who also share a workplace at a city hospital: head nurse Prabha and the newly recruited Anu. Alongside them is their colleague, cook Parvaty. Kapadia skillfully captures instances of connection and heartbreak, interwoven with hope and letdowns, to paint a profound portrait of the transformative impact of friendship and sisterhood, with all its intricacies and depth.
