This movie has to be one of the most inspiring movies in recent years. With a simple and logical plot, & without any over-the-top scenes this movie will make a you smile & cry, enjoy & think & most importantly change our outlook. It tells the story of a mother Chanda, a high-school drop-out, who works four different menial jobs, including working as a maid, for her daughter Apeksha's education. The daughter has an indifferent attitude & the movie deals with how the mother is able to change this. The roles of the mother & daughter are performed exceptionally by Swara Bhaskar & Ria Shukla. The cast performance is absolutely incredible and forms one of the most crucial success factor in the movie. Also no praise is enough for an absolutely stunning feature debut direction effort from Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. Not for a moment will you feel bored watching the movie. The plot is so simple yet so impactful & that's what keeps this movie apart. Its an absolute must watch for all age groups & will surely put a smile on your faces.My rating 9.5/10

I'm a teacher by profession and the most common issue found while counseling my students is their loss of interest to study. On such scenario, many-a-times I'd feel if the parents motivates at home our work could be a lot easier . The movie delivers a powerful message of a parent's involvement in instilling learning desire to her child and the entire credit should go to the debutante writer/director, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. The mother's role played by Swara Bhaskar is the spotlight and her struggle is the replica of many maternal sacrifices of our country. The principal role is one 'principal' cameo that reminds us of some teachers during schooling.

A film that released in April 2016 back home. Even though I so wanted to view it, could not get the chance then. But then, as they say all good things come to those who wait. Managed to see it recently. Revolving around a mother-daughter duo, this simple story has taken on itself the job of answering so many questions that we face in our very own lives and seldom challenge ourselves to find the answers to.Swara-BhaskarThe ever talented #SwaraBhaskar plays a single mother, uneducated and someone who moves earth and skies to make ends meet. A sweet girl called Riya Shukla plays her 10th Class daughter.For every parent, their child is always the dearest to them. Then why does this very child become an irritant at times, with the passing years? Why do we lose our cool every now and then, with the same child we were swooning about? The film has tried to identify and portray this transition and maybe also provide answers to the viewers.Personally, I feel there is a very thin line which defines the relation. And on crossing the same its no more a parent and child relationship. It becomes a relationship between two human beings. And along with that comes jealousy, competition, opposition and One-upmanship. Sounds bad right? Dwelve within to discover where you stand. No one comes clean, maybe not even me.But the answer lies in sticking behind the line, on your side. And its only through your experience and wisdom, can you possibly identify it.Its a great story of a mother challenging her own self to change her daughter's destiny. A journey of not just change, but also self-discovery. A journey of endless possibilities which are awaiting to be tapped by those who dare and those who try.Amazing portrayal by all. Swara is a great performer, as always. Supported aptly by Riya, who herself has done a fantastic job. Very natural. And then we have the talented Ratna Pathak Shah and Pankaj Tripathi. The film packages various emotions from your childhood days (best recalled by those who did schooling in 1970s and 1980s). Found shades from my nostalgic past to enliven my thoughts and emotions.Great job Ahwiny Iyer Tiwari! Loved the movie and will look forward to more gems from your side in the future.View it. Get the DVD home and see how easily the message transcends across generations. •Rajesh Sharma •@rajrad

If you want to experience the magic of amazing scriptwriting combined with great acting and direction, this is the ticket to that wonderland. Right from the start, the cinematography gels with the script. Although it slows down for plot development, but then picks up gracefully again. It's a wonderfully crafted journey that steals your eye control and certainly your heart.Producer Aanand Rai has marvelously mentored the debutant director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. After his stint of great movies, here comes a masterpiece in his first production venture. Ashwiny has shown great efforts and I'll take nothing away from him. It's hard to see such a masterclass in a debutant. The way amalgamation of script and actors have been done is simply amazing.Rising from the supporting character roles, Swara Bhaskar grabbed this lead opportunity with open hands. She is very impressive and her body language is perfect all through. Little girl Riya Shukla steals the heart right from the start and continues to do so throughout.Overall, an amazing script amalgamated with wonderful acting and direction.
