The much-acclaimed dark comedy Sister Midnight, starring Radhika Apte in the lead role, is finally making its theatrical debut in India on May 30. Directed by Karan Kandhari, the film premiered globally at the Cannes Film Festival last year and has since traveled across several international film festivals, receiving widespread critical acclaim.
Set in a cramped apartment in Mumbai, the film follows the story of Uma, a newlywed woman whose life takes a bizarre turn after a mosquito bite. The transformation she undergoes—and what it means in the context of her post-marriage life—unfolds on screen in this genre-defying narrative.
Sister Midnight has been lauded for its unique storytelling and powerful performances, earning an impressive 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It was also nominated for the Camera d’Or category at Cannes and received a BAFTA 2025 nomination for Best Debut.
Radhika Apte has been actively promoting the film on social media, teasing fans with intriguing captions. One of her recent Instagram posts read, “Before the change begins in you, plan your next move.” In another post featuring the film’s poster, she wrote:
“I’m not afraid to fail. I’m not scared if someone says my film is terrible or my acting is bad. No matter what anyone says—this is all part of my journey.”
Sister Midnight promises to be a bold, thought-provoking cinematic experience—one that blends surrealism, satire, and social commentary. Audiences in India can finally witness this festival favorite on the big screen later this month.
