The film centers around Uma, portrayed by Radhika Apte, who shares a cramped home with her husband, Gopal, played by Ashok Pathan. Their marriage lacks intimacy; she can’t cook, and neither seems interested in physical closeness, creating a sense of distance between them. Her short temper often prompts Gopal to retreat and drink. Finding solace in a friendship with her neighbor, Sheetah, portrayed by Chhaya Kadam, Uma bonds over shared frustrations about men while grappling with the monotony of daily life. Seeking change, she takes on a job as a cleaner, which provides some distraction, but also sparks an increasing fascination with animals. A chance encounter with livestock and birds leads her to question her own actions, which seem predatory. Following a particularly disturbing event, the narrative shifts into surreal territory, making it difficult to discern reality from fantasy. Apte is engaging as Uma, whose initially abrasive personality evolves into something more peculiar, while Pathak also performs well as the unfortunate husband. However, I felt the plot was underdeveloped and repetitive for much of the film's duration before the final ten minutes began to explore themes of superstition, possibly even witchcraft, offering a glimpse into the quick-to-judge nature of her close community. While not overtly violent, it might be unsettling for some viewers, as the dark humor is concentrated in specific scenes that are unfortunately infrequent. The movie has its positive aspects and is worth seeing for Uma’s image—a solitary figure wandering through an urban landscape with a mop and bucket—but it would likely be just as enjoyable on television.
