In 'Sister Midnight', protagonist Uma grapples with societal expectations as a new bride in Mumbai. The film, described as a surreal comedy, showcases Uma's humorous and rebellious assertions of identity amid a restrictive patriarchal society. Director Karan Kandhari emphasizes that while the film has been interpreted as feminist, it is more about questioning outdated norms rather than promoting an agenda. With Uma's quirky personality and her relationship dynamics presenting a lack of intimacy, the film explores the complexities of modern relationships and the absence of a societal manual for life.
Yet amid the silent struggle, Karan Kandhari’s 'Sister Midnight' portrays Uma’s journey in a patriarchal society, as she humorously claims her identity in bold terms.
Kandhari emphasizes his intent, stating, 'There is no manual for life, even though society wants us to pretend there is,' which captures the film's punk rock essence.
