Movie Info

A colony in Delhi is known as Badnaam Gali in Ashwin Shetty’s film of the same name. Populated by middle-aged women who spend more time on the balcony and in their WhatsApp groups than in their rooms, the reason for the colony to earn this epithet and the supposed disgrace is the presence of an unmarried pregnant woman, Nayan (Patralekhaa). When we meet her for the first time, she is standing at her gate smiling and participating in the gossip surrounding her. Flashy cars and men with six-pack abs frequent her place, we are told. The source of these comforts escapes the rest, and her pregnancy, without a definitive sign of a husband or a partner, does not help. Thus, when Randeep Singh Sodhi (Divyendu Sharma) visits his aunt to stay with her, he is told sternly to stay away from the daayan (witch).
