Sir story (no spoilers)

Sir (Monsieur) is a Hindi drama-romance directed by Rohena Gera. Ashwin, a prosperous young Indian man, returns home and develops feelings for his live-in servant Ratna, a widow who dreams of becoming a fashion designer. The film follows their quiet, everyday interactions as class differences and social expectations complicate the possibility of love. The story is set against the backdrop of a Mumbai household, with Ashwin's parents and other staff members forming the world around them. The central question, echoed in the tagline 'Is Love Enough?', asks whether affection can bridge the gap between employer and employee. Told in Hindi, English, and Marathi, the 99-minute film unfolds at a gentle, observational pace, focusing on unspoken gestures and small moments rather than grand declarations. The tone is restrained and intimate, letting the romance develop naturally while acknowledging the barriers Ratna and Ashwin face.
