Where do you turn when you find yourself in this predicament? Raj and Pooja are left to depend on strangers' kindnesses. After everything they had, Raj must now encounter the hardships of trying to build it all back up again. Will the anguish that burns within him make or break him?
Ravi Chopra walks out on a limb with Baghban. As it is a film whose subject matter has not really been touched on in the Bollywood scene. It promises to be an emotional, hard-hitting story, which raises the question of whether parents can rely on their children in their old age.
Believe it or not, the story of Baghban was written 40 years ago. When visiting an old age home, Chopra himself learnt that the elderly people were very lonely and missed their children's love and affection. The incident touched him so deeply that he decided to make a film on it.
It should prove to be a very interesting and emotional film. Watch for its October release. |
