In 'Sister Midnight,' led by Uma (Radhika Apte), the narrative follows her struggle with independence after an arranged marriage, emphasizing her discontent and search for identity. Directed by Karan Kandhari, the film blends genres—shifted between comedic, supernatural, and domestic drama—capturing Uma's journey through monotony and self-realization in Mumbai. Apte's performance showcases her versatility, transitioning from serious roles to comedy, making this unique story both engaging and reflective of broader themes like empowerment and self-discovery.
"To be honest with you, I didn't have confidence that I could do comedy well... I've done so many years of very serious roles that I was actually petrified, because comedy is really hard. You can't be saved."
"Sister Midnight is a difficult film to define... it reads like a lo-fi vampire origin story - at others, it's the kind of slow-burning domestic drama that's gone extinct on the big screen."
