House Mates (2025)
House Mates (2025)
Overview
House Mates is a 2025 Indian horror-comedy about two married couples and a haunted apartment linking their lives across time. The story emphasizes traditional family values through its focus on marriage, home ownership, and parental responsibilities, avoiding deviations from conventional gender roles and identities. The 'Leans Traditional' label makes sense as the film centers on domestic life, emotional bonds, and relatable middle-class dilemmas rather than challenging societal norms or exploring diverse themes such as LGBTQ+ or transgender identities.
