Here's another one to the list of 'different from the run of the mill Bollywood films'. 'Alag' is watchable. It's a well made film with good performances from the main lead cast; Dia Mirza and Akshay Kapoor. The honesty and sincerity of the maker comes through in the film. Had the film boasted of a male star who could pull the audience into the theatres, the commercial prospects of the film would have been a different story.

The story of the film- 'Alag' is the story of an unusual youth, Tejas Rastogi (Akshay Kapoor). He is bald, has no eyebrows, and no hair on his body. Radios and television sets don't work when he's around. He has special powers but he's no superman!

The film begins with the death of his father, (Yateen Karyekar), of a cardiac arrest. During investigations the police realize that his son has been hidden in the basement of the mansion ever since he was a kid. The boy has lived in darkness all his life. Why?

The police decide to place Tejas in Purva's (Dia Mirza) care who along with her father (Jayant Kripalani), runs a rehabilitation centre for orphans.
