See the films the platforms disagree about most →Two nurses from rural India share an apartment in the bustling, often lonely city of Mumbai. While one is pragmatic and settled in her routine, the other is more romantic and yearning for connection. Their friendship is tested when unexpected personal developments—a mysterious package for one and a new romance for the other—force them to confront their dreams, desires, and the different paths their lives are taking.
