Shrimati

'Shrimati' is the story of a middle class, conservative housewife, who falls prey to society's glitz and glamour and in the bargain, loses her own identity. In today's malevolent world, where the outer appearance means everything, this middle-aged lady falls victim to the clichéd problem of overall personality and outward appearance that irks all the minds - from teenagers to adults and beyond. She becomes obsessed and, in the process,, almost loses her mind and identity till the sudden realization that - irrespective of the way people think and the way the world goes - one should never forget the soul that dwells within. For it is not about the length or texture of your hair or how perfect your bumps are, but about the kind of person you are and the number of people who love you solely for your nature. She finally gains confidence and self-respect in her own skin and gets ready to take on the world with new vigor and a new "her".

Directed by Arjunn Dutta, Shrimati leans on a strong ensemble — Swastika Mukherjee, Soham Chakraborty, Barkha Bisht — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
