The film is a quiet exploration of familial dynamics. However, this suggestion of quietness should, in no way, imply that it is devoid of tension, past resentments, and other disagreements which simmer right under the surface, sticking their heads out in the most prominent manner at the slightest provocation.
An average Indian family lives in a small house in Pune. It is examination time for their young son when the man’s father goes missing from the old age home they have housed him in. Additionally, his sister and her husband who are settled in the US and are in India for their annual trip, are also visiting him.
The film does a competent job of not only portraying the several equations but does it in a very authentic, skilled, and seamless manner. The performances, writing, and screenplay all support the endeavor all the way through. At the heart of it, however, remains a crucial message about the deeply fraught structure of a family, and how sometimes it is the meekest voices that turn out to be the kindest.
