“Mumbai-set twisted love story - A fantastical punk comedy, a feminist revenge film, and a revamped vampire movie rolled into one.
An original, funny

We follow the trials and tribulations of Uma - a young, newly married woman - who discovers the realities of married life in a Bombay slum, and whose thirst for vengeance will not
be abated,”
