On May 23, 2025, the highly praised movie titled Sister Midnight, nominated at the 78th British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), will be shown in cinemas. Starring Radhika Apte as the main character, this film is written and directed by Karan Kandhari. The production team includes Alastair Clark, Anna Griffin, and Alan McAlex. Apart from Apte, the cast also features Ashok Pathak, Chhaya Kadam, Smita Tambe, and Navya Sawant.
At the 77th Cannes Film Festival, Sister Midnight, up for the Outstanding British Debut award at this year’s BAFTAs, generated quite a stir. As a result, it was nominated for a Golden Camera award and was included in the Directors’ Fortnight segment.
The movie was nominated for four British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) and won the “Best Picture” award in the Next Wave category at Austin’s Fantastic Fest. It has received accolades at film festivals worldwide.
As suggested by the movie’s summary, the plot revolves around Uma, a character played by Radhika Apte who has recently married Gopal (portrayed by Ashok Pathak). The narrative unfolds in a confined space within Mumbai, where Uma encounters growing challenges in her life, particularly due to Gopal’s frequent absences and his failure to provide adequate financial assistance.
Under the initially resistant guidance of her neighbor Sheetal (portrayed by Chhaya Kadam), Uma embarks on her culinary learning journey. Yet, the story takes an ominous twist when Uma visits a relative’s wedding and is bitten by a mosquito.
Initially, a puzzling sickness metamorphoses into an alarming hunger for animal blood. As Uma’s aspect undergoes a startling transition and apprehension escalates among those around her, she is compelled to grapple with her disquieting new existence and decide whether to embrace her transformation or face the prospect of vanishing completely.
Director Karan Kandhari disclosed that the concept behind Sister Midnight originated from a deep and straightforward idea—the events that transpire on the initial morning of an arranged marriage, when the husband departs for work, leaving his newlywed wife to explore the unknown surroundings all by herself.
Karan made it clear that the tale’s foundation lay in the concept that life doesn’t come with a user manual, especially during crucial times. He further pointed out that the movie’s style and narrative were greatly inspired by the legendary silent film actor, Buster Keaton.
