Takes a potential hot-button premise--the callous indifference of the Indian medical bureaucracy toward the lower classes--and dramatizes it in the most shameless way possible.

This story is about how an old man tried to show his grandson the preciousness and beauty of life in a no win situation such as cancer. It is about keeping a positive attitude towards life.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Dana Stevens
The simplicity of the tale becomes a bit tedious.
The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
While the film sometimes plays like an hour TV medical drama padded to reach feature length, Sawant achieves touching, naturalistic performances from a fine ensemble cast.
An old-fashioned soaper that will please or not, depending on a viewer's tolerance for schmaltz.
