You can see why Archana Atul Phadke’s affectionate but uncensored exploration of the dynamics of her own multi-generational home in South Bombay has picked up so many awards. Family members jostle and tease each other, arguments flare up and die away and the house becomes more frenzied as brother Rohan’s wedding approaches. Despite her obvious deep love and devotion for her family, Archana’s frank approach along with her rejection of the old patriarchal values make for a hilarious and deeply moving family portrait, which reflects the changing values of a modern India.
