A modern classic about the weight of being human. Don’t watch it when you need cheering up—watch it when you need to feel everything.
The film follows four intersecting lives: a grieving father (Sanjay Mishra) who runs a small mithai shop, haunted by an extortionist cop after a family tragedy; his headstrong daughter (Shweta Tripathi), who seeks love on a disastrous internet date; and a lower-caste boy (Vicky Kaushal, in a breakthrough role) who falls for a higher-caste girl, only to be tormented by a sex tape that goes viral.
