Produced by Bose in partnership with [[Viacom18 Motion Pictures]], ''Margarita with a Straw'' was co-written by Bose and Nilesh Maniyar. The film deals with the challenging concepts of [[sexuality]], [[Inclusion (disability rights)|inclusion]], [[self-love]], and [[self-acceptance]].
Bose conceived the idea for the film in January 2011, during a conversation with [[Malini Chib]]—her cousin and a [[disability rights activist]]—about the latter's desire to have a normal [[sex life]]. Inspired by Chib's story, Bose wrote the first draft of the film's script. After winning a [[Sundance Institute#Feature Film Program|Sundance Mahindra Global Filmmaker Award]] for the draft, she modified the script to reflect her own perspective, incorporating several personal experiences into the narrative. Bose completed the screenplay with co-writer Maniyar and the advisory council of the Sundance Institute.
Bose was keen to cast an actress with cerebral palsy for the central part, but eventually hired Koechlin, who learnt the movements and speech patterns of people with the disorder. Filming took place in Delhi and New York in 2013, with Anne Misawa as the [[director of photography]]. The film was selected for the [[National Film Development Corporation of India]]'s Work-in-Progress Lab initiative during [[post-production]], which was completed in the latter half of 2013. The soundtrack for the film was composed by [[Mikey McCleary]].
''Margarita with a Straw'' premiered at the [[2014 Toronto International Film Festival]]. It was also screened at the [[Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival|Tallinn Black Nights]], the [[BFI London Film Festival|BFI London]], the [[Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinema|Vesoul Festival of Asian Cinema]], and the [[Galway Film Fleadh]]. The film was released theatrically in India on 17 April 2015 to positive reviews. Commentators praised most aspects of the production, Koechlin's performance, and Bose's direction.
