The setting of this unique film is a dreary, arranged marriage in Mumbai. The spineless husband seems bored, while his wife, driven by dissatisfaction, behaves in an abrasive manner in everyday life and gives free rein to her basic instincts. A twisted, entertaining Indian love story, packaged as a punk comedy in an arthouse style, full of slapstick humor and allusions to American cinema - including a soundtrack with country music and hard rock. An absurd comedy about an arranged marriage with a brilliant lead actress which impresses with a lot of physical humor and a grandiose rock soundtrack. You have never seen Indian cinema like this!' – Anja Fröhner
