The directorial debut of London -based Indian writer/director Karan Kandhari is a film as strange, hilarious, and unpredictable as its protagonist.

Set in Mumbai , Sister Midnight introduces us to small-town bride Uma as she arrives in the city for an arranged marriage to Gopal .

Uma is outspoken, disdainful, sweary, and gloriously weird — traits which make her at once a neighbourhood outcast, a mystery to her new husband.

Each moment sees Apte deliver the very same unblinking stare and primal focus, then uninterruptible determination as she hits boiling point. By the time you've followed Uma down the path of no return, Sister Midnight becomes the type of film you won't want to leave. It's a film made for the weirdos, the misunderstood, the suppressed characters who attempt to find ways to explore their desires without having a mob at their door. Sister Midnight is now showing in UK cinemas, with U.S. release set for May 2025 . Topics Film.
