Well filmed and thoughtful. Director captures nicely how Indian women in lower middle class have to accept their husband's dictums and have no right to be ambitious.
It is the story or a woman who wants her husband and herself to live in an owned house and be well off but is misled to take the wrong path due to her husband's lack of ambition and his being a miser.
Movie is very realistic and a good portrayal by Sara Ali Khan. Having lived a few years in South India we have all seen lower middle class marrying their girls before 18. They have children by 21 and are expected to look after their homes and have no desires or ambitions in life.
While people claim that they have respect for women, the ground reality in India is still that women are not yet equal to men and don't have the same rights to build careers and be ambitious. This movie in a light mood highlights an important prevalent social stigma. Wish it had better and deeper insights though.
