A struggling street photographer in Mumbai, pressured to marry by his grandmother, convinces a shy stranger to pose as his fiancée. The pair develop a connection that transforms them in ways they could not expect.
"Director Ritesh Batra ('Lunchbox' and 'Nossas Noites') returns to India to tell a romance tempered by local culture but with global appeal. The result is an elegant feature film about two misfits who have long lost interest in love but seek to find something in common. With beautiful Mumbai - or, if you prefer, Bombay - as a backdrop, the story avoids excessive tensions and relies on good performances (including Nawazuddin Siddiqui, one of Bollywood's greats) to deliver its charm."
