STRATEGIC PARTNERS
Badnaam Gali arrives as a compact, unpretentious Hindi dramedy that quietly upends expectations about family, choice and social stigma. Directed by Ashwin Shetty and written by Neeraj Udhwani, the film centers on a single, urban man who hires a surrogate mother to carry his child — a premise that could easily fall into sensationalism, yet the movie largely resists melodrama and chooses gentleness, humour and moral curiosity instead.
