Radhika Apte’s Sister Midnight is finally here, and it’s as bold and bonkers as promised! After wowing audiences at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, this quirky dark comedy, directed by Karan Kandhari, hit OTT platforms in India on June 17, 2025. The best part? You can stream it for free! Here’s the scoop on where to watch this crazy ride and why it’s got everyone buzzing.
The movie follows Uma (Radhika Apte), a newlywed stuck in a super awkward arranged marriage in a tiny Mumbai apartment. Her husband, Gopal (Ashok Pathak), is more meh than magical, and Uma’s boredom leads her down a wild path—think animalistic urges, chaotic antics, and some seriously weird stuff like goats and dead birds. It’s a hilarious, creepy, and totally out-there blend of comedy, horror, and social commentary, with Chhaya Kadam and Smita Tambe adding extra spice to the mix.
Want to watch it for free in India? You’re in luck—Sister Midnight is streaming on Tubi, a free, ad-supported platform that’s picking up steam. It’s available in Hindi and English, so you can jump right in. No big players like Netflix or Prime Video have it yet in India, but Tubi’s got you covered. Just hop on Tubi’s website or app, search for Sister Midnight, and you’re set—no wallet required.
This film’s been a festival favorite, snagging a BAFTA nod for Outstanding British Debut and a Golden Camera nomination at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight. Radhika’s getting major props for her fearless, all-in performance as Uma, nailing the mix of rebellion and quirky humor. Shot on 35mm with gorgeous visuals by Sverre Sørdal and a funky score by Paul Banks, it’s got a unique vibe, complete with cool stop-motion animal bits. Plus, it dives into big topics like arranged marriage, gender roles, and even gives a thoughtful nod to the transgender community.
If you’re in the UK, you can rent it on Apple TV, Prime Video, or Google Play, but for Indian fans, Tubi’s the spot to catch it free while we wait for it to maybe pop up on Prime Video later. If you love Radhika’s work in stuff like Phobia or Ahalya, this is her boldest yet. So, grab some snacks, fire up Tubi, and dive into Sister Midnight’s wild, funny, and thought-provoking world.
