Sir (2018 film)

The film stars Tillotama Shome and Vivek Gomber and was produced by Rohena Gera and Brice Poisson.

Ashwin has recently returned to Mumbai from New York, leaving behind his dream to be a writer, after learning his brother is not well.

He stays low spirited for days until Ratna, not able to see him unhappy, narrates her story of losing her husband after just 4 months when she was 19 years old but now she is an independent woman who is supporting her family.

She stays back to work at his house, defying the possibility of gaining a bad reputation for living with a man alone.

Ashwin initially thinks light of her desire, but immediately corrects himself and apologises to Ratna, saying 'everyone has the right to dream'.

Soon after, on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, Ashwin returns home to find a carefree Ratna dancing with a crowd of people celebrating the festival.

Ratna allows Ashwin's advances for a moment while they share a kiss, then strongly expresses her will against any possible relationship.

Ashwin unintentionally makes Ratna uncomfortable by asking if he should wait for her to go back home, provoking mockery from other household employees.

When he insists on being together, she decides to quit her job and leaves, despite Ashwin's request that he might help her in any way even if she no longer wants to be in the house.

Finally, understanding his insistence on seeing her as an equal, she reconciles with her identity crisis and responds to his call by addressing him by his first name "Ashwin".

"[9] Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review, calling the film "a modest yet effective tale of love and class.

"[10] Coversely, Gaspar Zimerman of Clarín gave the film a negative review, writing, "The director Rohena Gera manages to draw attention to characteristics of Indian society, opening the door to a medieval world in which the caste system still seems to have a decisive weight, the lower class seems slave to the upper class and, in rural areas , machismo is law.
