A good drama film made in 2003 about old age, marriage and family, starring two masters of Bollywood, the legendary couple of the 1970s, amitabh bachchan and hema malini, with a beautiful story about being a good son.

Since India is very similar to us in terms of culture and society, it was a film that we found something from ourselves while watching it and even connected to it because of what we experienced one-on-one. If the middle of the film was not unnecessarily extended and there were no songs, the duration would have been 45 minutes shorter and it would have been an even better film.

Apart from amitabh bachchan and hema malini, the acting is bad and exaggerated, but this can be overlooked when the story, especially the finale, is good.

A good drama that I can recommend to those who love Indian cinema.

Director b.r. Chopra came up with the concept of the film thirty years ago during a visit to copenhagen, denmark. On that day he happens to be in an old age home where he meets a woman who sadly tells him how her own children abandoned her there and haven't even visited her since.

-- "With all due respect, I would like to ask you an important question today.

Why is it that when a father who would gladly spend the last of his money for the happiness of his children becomes incapacitated by old age, the children are reluctant to look back a little?

If a father helps his son take the first step in life, why doesn't the son support his father in the last steps of his life?

Why are parents who struggle for the happiness of their children throughout their lives left in loneliness and tears by their children?

Even if they cannot give us their love, what gives them the right to destroy our love for them?

What are these children thinking?

-- "It was believed that heaven was under the feet of mothers.

But nowadays people are so enlightened.

Today's generation of people has become very intellectual and practical.

For them, every relationship is like a rung on the ladder of life.

And when those stairs are no longer useful, it's like broken furniture and chairs in the house.

Like old pots and rags.

Like old newspapers to be thrown away.

Or an item that's been thrown in the attic.

It's useless.

But life doesn't treat you like that.

Life is like a tree.

Mum and Dad aren't steps on a ladder.

Mum and Dad are the soul of life.

No matter how big or strong a tree is, when the roots are cut, it can no longer grow.
