This is an Anurag Kashyap movie and its worth his name. The story is by Kalki Koechlin and Anurag Kashyap.
The story revolves around Kalki, who is a Britisher who has come to India to look for her father. She was very young when her father abandoned them and settled in India.
Kalki does not have a work visa in India but for a living she works in a spa. While massaging she also earns some extra bucks with a happy ending.
She meets many characters during her stay and finally when she finds her father, he is someone she would have been happier if she hadn't met.
The story may be a little trivial but what is striking is the story telling, the cinematography and the direction. It is very different from regular bollywood movies. And the performances..powerful. All the characters have given their bit, but Kalki's performance is overpowering. You wouldn't notice anyone else but her. Her character is a difficult one to play. Why? The character has white and gray shades all at once. Her thoughts and needs and beliefs are complicated. She is a young white woman living all alone in Mumbai, where no one really cares about anyone else.
A movie you must watch for the creativity put in the making and the stunning performance by Kalki. Give it a watch!
