Our take

One of Mahesh Bhatt’s most admired works, this existential drama is a pertinent example of his profound ability to reflect on the continuum of life. The ruthlessness of red-tape culture comes to the fore in this tale of an aged couple dealing with the loss of their only child in an accident abroad.
