The movie plotted on rare subject of the Indian Cine Industry, which has got positive acclamations for Kalki Koechlin’s performance at international screenings, “Margarita, With A Straw” had a real story in finalizing the title. The director of the flick Shonali Bose revealed the personal experience.

The daring director informed that she was inspired by her cousin Malini, who was born with acute cerebral palsy. They spent their teenage years in Mumbai, swimming, watching movies, mooning over boys, dancing and drinking. She said, "We would face this funny situation when we went out for drinks. I would ask them to pour her drink into a children's sippy cup that always accompanied her and to give us a straw for her. Their eyes would pop out. After I finished the very first draft of the screenplay and was thinking of a title, this just came to me. So, I chose the cocktail — margarita — because it helped bring out the deeper meaning and layer of the film — when life hands you lemons, you can be bitter and sour or you can make a margarita and raise a toast."

Aamir Khan praised the theme of the movie, while launching the trailer on March 4th. He said, "It's one of the best films I've seen. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry and it forces you to take a pause and think."

Margarita, With A Straw, produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures, Jakhotia Group, Kool Homes and Ishan Talkies, slated to release on April 17. Veteran actress Revathi acted as Kalki’s mother, music is composed by Mickey McCleary.
