Choked - Paisa Bolta Hai Trailer: Anurag Kashyap's Netflix film featuring Saiyami Kher and Roshan Mathew is a gripping tale on demonetization

Anurag Kashyap's web film Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai is all set to release on June 5 on Netflix. On Tuesday, the streaming service unveiled the release date and first look of Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai, which stars Saiyami Kher and Roshan Mathew. Choked is a suspense drama that “explores the precarious balance between money, secrets and the truth.” Saiyami plays a middle-class bank cashier called Sarita Pillai, while Roshan plays her good-for-nothing struggling musician husband Sushant Pillai. 

Now, filmmaker Anurag has shared the trailer and written, "She thought she was lucky. But money has a way of turning fortune into misfortune." The trailer shows how Saiyami, frustrated with her jobless husband Roshan, one day finds unlimited money in her toilet pipeline. Saiyam's happiness knows no bound after discovering excess cash but everything changes when PM Narendra Modi announces demonetization. The trailer ends with Saiyami struggling to get all her old notes exchanged for new ones.

Talking about her character, Saiyami had earlier said, "Sarita is a 30-year-old middle-class woman. She is the sole breadwinner, she is overworked and frustrated, yet tenacious and always scheming to build 'that dream'. At one level Sarita is that every-woman. Nihit Bhave, our writer, has beautifully weaved the complexities of this middle class family. And I thank Anurag for trusting me with Sarita and letting me bring her to life. Working on the film has been a life changing experience for me."

Choked will premiere on June 5 on Netflix.
