Fifty-something Maee hates being clicked. Which in turn leads to a peculiar problem. She realises there s no decent photograph of her in the house. That s no petty issue if you consider your primary source of remembrance, when you re no more, will be the picture that hangs in the living room. So, Maee decides she must fix the situation.
Debutant duo Gayatri Patil and Aditya Rathi s Marathi film is a bittersweet comedy crafted out of middle-class quirks and the deeper question of identity, without getting too heavy about it. Rathi s script maintains a feel-good rhythm all along, and ends with a spot of black humour.
