reviews
Racy, revealing & hilariously deadpan
Brilliantly honest hybrid of reality and fantasy examining the interplay between sex and social media
Kabir Mehta’s shifting authorship makes film unexpected & riveting
An Oddly Captivating Deconstruction Of Social Currency
A mockumentary, where “mock” seems to be the main ingredient
Hilarious, if often worrying, examination of digital self-curation.
Pulls at threads of ambition, greed, and privilege that touch upon India’s wealth divide
