The venue? His son’s wedding on the family’s opulent estate outside Delhi. Based on Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, the film follows Tulsi into a den of corruption and false celebrations, where, with each passing hour, her murderous desires to get even are battled by her own humanity and compassion.
