Watch Radhika Apte Go Off The Damn Rails As SISTER MIDNIGHT Arrives On Digital

We’ve all wanted to go apeshit at some point in our boring lives, right? It seems only natural, especially for us women, trapped as we are by certain stratas of society. It’s a plight that the darkly comic film Sister Midnight understands all too well, and now, just over a year after its festival debut, the film is finally available to watch on digital. 

Written and directed by Karan Kandhari in his feature debut, Sister Midnight stars acclaimed Indian actress Radhika Apte alongside Ashok Pathak, Chhaya Kadam, and Smita Tambe. The film’s synopsis is as follows:

Rebellious small-town misfit Uma arrives in Mumbai to find herself totally unsuited to life as a housewife. At odds with her prying neighbors and under the constant oppressive noise and heat of the city, she decides to break free from the shackles of domesticity and follow her own path in this bold, unpredictable, and darkly funny debut. 

Sister Midnight also features a score by Interpol frontman Paul Banks, making his debut as a composer. The Hindi-language film had its world premiere at last year’s Cannes Film Festival as part of their Directors Fortnight program, and won Best Film as a part of Fantastic Fest’s New Wave section, as well as being nominated for four British Independent Film Awards, as well as a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer. The digital release marks its first time being available in the US, after premiering in theaters in India on May 30.
