After Gulabo Sitabo, Shakuntala Devi and a bunch of South films were taken up by Amazon Prime for direct premiere, now Netflix has also joined the bandwagon. The streaming giant will release Anurag Kashyap’s Choked.

The trailer of the film released online on Thursday and the glimpses have caught the attention of netizens and celebrities.Choked features Mirzya fame Saiyami Kher, who is a middle-class woman working as a bank cashier in Mumbai. Leading a normal life, that involves going to work, dealing with irritation of her husband, played by Malayalam actor Roshan Mathew, in eating potatoes thrice in a week, and a leaking piping system at home, the woman’s life changes when she finds money regularly in the pipeline below her kitchen sink. 

Saiyami turns a spendthrift, making her husband and other close ones wondering what is responsible for the change of lifestyle. However, the government's announcement of demonetisation, Rs 500 and Rs 1000 turning out to be invalid tender from November 9, 2016, brings this lifestyle to a halt. Be it threats from a man giving her ‘orders’ or a bank robbery,  there are more interesting moments that will be clearer only when the film hits the web.
