Solely representing India at Tribeca 2022 was director Shlok Sharma’s third feature, “Two Sisters and a Husband”. Returning with his specialty in complex human conflict, the family-drama world premiered in-competition last June. While unfortunately leaving without any wins, the film stands apart with dramatic promises of a heartfelt tragedy, and leaves slivers of hope for India’s cinematic visibility on the global stage.
As suggestive titles go, “Two Sisters and a Husband” hits the nail on the head in evoking discomfort and taboo. Set in the 1990s, Rajat (Dinker Sharma), along with two sisters: Amrita (Manya Grover) and Tara (Avani Rai) move to a remote inn at a Himalayan town. With a dark, anxious mood underfoot, the trio harbour obvious intents to hide from scrutiny. Amrita is heavily pregnant with Rajat’s child, but we find out that she is not in fact Rajat’s wife, but his sister-in-law.
