Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone who likes knowing it really happened and anyone who loves a strong drama. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Fans of May December should feel right at home.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Aani Maani is a game popular among little children in Uttar Pradesh, played by turning around while reciting a popular rhyme. The circling motion is likened to that of the Sufi dervish. When the government announces a ban on beef, and the shutting down of slaughterhouses, it wreaks havoc in the family life of a lower middle class, Muslim kebab seller called Bhutto and sends his world spinning.
