Synopsis

The somewhat awkward bachelor Percy Bhathena is 27 years old and lives together with his mother in a residential area of the Parsi middle class. He works in a small Unani drugstore, where he is harassed by a Marathi colleague.

Our take

A nostalgic trip down memory lane in late-80s Mumbai, Percy paints a delicate portrait of the close-knit Parsi community. Highlighting metropolitan apathy towards these seemingly naive misfits, the drama is bolstered by Kurush Deboo’s stirring performance as the socially awkward lead.
