Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
In a vast, heaving Mumbai that bustles by day and glimmers by night, two nurses - roommates by chance - form a makeshift sisterhood. Proper, practical Prabha (Kani Kusruti, star of GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS) grieves her estranged marriage but holds her teeming desires (and an eager suitor) at bay; youthful, sensuous Anu (Divya Prabha) cherishes secret text messages and steamy trysts with a Muslim boy. Meanwhile, a no-nonsense neighbor (Chhaya Kadam) whose widowhood leaves her struggling to keep her flat recruits the two younger women to her village by the sea – where all three find unlikely refuge in the clarity of shared wanting, if not having.
