A newly arranged marriage sees an oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are alone, awkward and together. Cranky Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her complete lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbors and her bumbling spouse until one night she discovers strange new feral cravings.

Critics Consensus

Mocking the pressures of matrimony with a sly wink, Sister Midnight is a thrilling genre-bender that's impossible to predict.

Kandhari has a sharp eye for absurdity.

If you want to see a talented director putting together pieces of a vision — however unclear — and an actress with the courage to leap with him into the unknown, “Sister Midnight” is worth your time.

One of those films that deserves to be seen without knowing much about it, because of its unhinged and eventually violent twists, but always supported by a surprisingly colorful aesthetic. [Full review in Spanish

In a creatively barren phase for Hindi cinema, Sister Midnight is a rare spark. Defying market norms and genre traps, it reaffirms the joy of watching films and reiterates the medium's potency.

It’s Kandhari’s vision that sets the film apart from what might otherwise feel like an imitation game gone wrong.

Definitely didn’t know what I expected but definitely was rewarded for that. Beautifully shot and moved wonderfully. Strong acting and sets!

One of the most original films you will ever see. Quirky, odd, funny, and unique.

Despite Radhika Kandhari's funny, brilliant performance, I checked out of this overlong dark comedy halfway through. I admired its originality and fierceness, but this should have been a quick 90 minutes, and you might have a masterpiece.

The worst movie I have ever watched. Before watching this movie I was under illusion that I can watch any kind of movie but this movie broke the record. Script, story, screenplay all so pathetic and insane. Radhika Apte must be on the brink of getting bankrupt that she signed such movie.

What a waste of time movie, it has no logic, no story, just a mentally sick woman who kills birds and then her husband. No background of the characters to make things clear to audience, just some nonsense.No doubt actors are good, but what is use of good acting if story line is so bad.You can watch this movie only if you want to watch something very weird without any explanation amd logic behind their weirdness.I had good expectayions with the movie seeing the leads but regret wasting my time.
