This emotionally charged narrative explores themes of familial relationships, loyalty, and the sacrifices made in the name of love. Drawing inspiration from the epic Ramayana, it employs the concept of exile (Vanvaas). The movie illustrates the deep emotional scars of parental neglect and estrangement within families.

The teaser showcases Nana Patekar’s character being deserted during a religious pilgrimage. This sets the stage for a touching story that delves into the complexities of the father-son bond. It is accompanied by regret and sorrow. The film resonates with the universal experience of ageing parents who often feel overlooked by their children. It evokes memories of other touching tales such as Baghban. Patekar’s powerful performance, coupled with Utkarsh Sharma’s portrayal of a conflicted son, promises to be a standout aspect of the film.
