Premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Sister Midnight features Radhika Apte in a standout role as Uma, a newlywed navigating a stifling arranged marriage with Gopal, portrayed by Ashok Pathak. Set against the vibrant yet claustrophobic backdrop of Mumbai, the story takes a dark turn as Uma, trapped in societal expectations, slowly transforms into a fierce, untamed version of herself.
The plot also explores her solitary journeys around Mumbai landmarks such as Marine Drive and Bandstand, and her routine rides on the city’s local trains.
