Ira Kamat and Kartik Kini, childhood friends, meet on the terrace of their building in Matunga, Mumbai. A meeting is currently taking place to decide the fate of the establishment and its residents. And the 1990s zeitgeist appears to have affected everyone and everything around them. Ira is now a journalist on the civic beat, uncovering stories of corruption and indolence while trying to forget a lost love. Kartik works for an MNC and lives a secret, agonising, exhilarating second life. The living, beating heart of Mumbai, city of heaving inequities and limitless dreams, throbs between and around them. Milk Teeth is deft, incisive, and impossible to put down.
