    ‘I Killed My Mother / It Wasn’t My Fault’ journeys into the complex emotional world of a 25-year-old girl, who is oscillating between her inner and outer world. As she navigates through an ‘ordinary’ day, the narrative touches upon more than just a surface conflict between a mother and daughter. It goes on to portray the Protagonist grappling with the relentless cruelty of self-doubt, societal pressures, unemployment, singlehood, and generational discord. Through a comically dark lens, infused with pop culture and multimedia elements, it will immerse the audience in a painfully realistic dramatisation of the turbulent thoughts of this young girl.

    Paytm Insider business head Varun Khare said, “At Paytm Insider, we’re about fueling the flame of theatrical brilliance and crafting tasteful moments for our audience.
