The much-anticipated teaser for the movie has finally been released, generating buzz across social media platforms.
Plot and Cast Details Revealed in Teaser
Directed by Suresh Triveni, the film revolves around a mother and her daughters who are constantly at odds with each other.

Behind the Scenes and Cast Reactions
The film was officially announced at the Netflix India Slate event held in Mumbai on Tuesday. During the event, Madhuri Dixit expressed her enthusiasm for working in the comedy genre after a considerable hiatus. She remarked, "It's a dark comedy. When Suresh ji approached me, I was immediately intrigued.

A big part of the fun was discovering its tone during the shoot and trusting the incredible performances of Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri, Ravi Kishan, and Dharna Durga to lead the way. Netflix has been the perfect partner in embracing this bold, genre-bending vision and giving us the freedom to tell a story that's unapologetically irreverent and designed to surprise audiences at every turn. We're genuinely excited for audiences globally to experience it."
