The Windfall
Author(s): Diksha Basu
When Mr. and Mrs. Jha come into an
unexpected sum of money, they move from
their housing complex in East Delhi to the
super-rich side of town. The move sets off a
chain of events that rock their neighbours,
their marriage and their son, who is
struggling to keep a lid on his romantic
dilemmas and slipping grades, and brings
unintended consequences, ultimately forcing
the Jha family to reckon with what really
matters. A sparkling comedy of manners
about social climbing, social rivalry and
social anxiety in the New India.
