Four messy brothers, one backwater house, and the gentlest film about men you'll see.

Nothing explodes and nobody gives a speech, yet it's one of the most quietly radical Indian films in years: a story about brothers learning to say they're not okay. The backwaters glow at night and the cast feels like they've lived there forever.

Then a certain smiling brother-in-law shows up, and the film reveals it had a sting in its tail all along.

Where to watch in India: Prime Video.
