Sir 2018

• Director: Rohena Gera
• Based on the book: no
• Cast: Tillotama Shome, Vivek Gomber
• Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
• Neither of them
• Why? Rave reviews
• Seen:  3 December 2023                   

             Everybody loves a love story, right?

       Ratna (Shome) is a young widow of the lowest caste who dreams of becoming a fashion designer (why not a doctor, or something useful?). Instead she’s maid to Ashwin (Gomber), the kind rich handsome heir to a construction company in Mumbai.

       It’s unsentimental, the characters are likeable, there’s a social message, the actors are good. It’s a nice film. But in fact not everybody loves a love story. I’m one of them.
