Synopsis
Just arrived in Mumbai, living in a tiny shack with paper-thin walls, acerbic Uma (a terrific Radhika Apte) and soft-spoken Gopal (Ashok Pathak) are trapped in a very new, very awkward arranged marriage. At first, Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her lack of domestic skills, her bumbling spouse and their nosy neighbours, but the nocturnal world of the city changes her. Transformed into a disturbing and ruthless figure, Uma succumbs to her most feral impulses.

Critics
The actors capture Uma and Gopal's uncertain marital dance with aggressive awkwardness as they struggle to find their rhythm – failed sexual encounters, home cooking attempts and newlywed outings included. Sister Midnight breaks free from the shackles of submissive feminine stereotypes and raucously leans into a woman behaving very, very badly.
Time Out
Quietly rebels against the arbitrary rules of filmmaking to create something supremely self-assured in voice and style.
