Aarti Mandal

Aarti Mandal’s got her name tied to “Pooja, Sir” (2024), and honestly, this one’s got some twists that’ll have you questioning who’s really got it all figured out. She steps into this world that’s buzzing with ambition, where everyone’s hustling but not everyone’s playing fair. The movie drops you into the life of Pooja, a woman juggling expectations, family drama, and her own dreams—except, let’s be real, nothing’s ever straight-up easy in her world. The story doesn’t sugarcoat how people push and pull to get ahead, sometimes tripping over their own lies or egos. You’ve got Pooja, balancing tradition with her need to break out, and Sir, the mentor-slash-antagonist who’s got secrets of his own. Their dynamic? Kind of electric, sometimes tense, always a little unpredictable. There’s this tug-of-war vibe, like both are fighting for control but also low-key need each other to get anywhere. The side characters aren’t just cardboard cutouts, either. Each one brings their own baggage, whether it’s jealousy, loyalty, or the urge to just blow the whole thing up and start fresh. The setting bounces between cramped apartments and bustling offices, giving you that real “life’s messy, deal with it” energy. Through all the chaos, Pooja’s journey keeps you rooting for her—even when she screws up, you get why. The film doesn’t pretend that happy endings come easy. Instead, it leaves you with that bittersweet feeling: sometimes, getting what you want means losing something else.
