A must watch for all the parents of today and the parents to be. And I say this coz I see that we, the people of today, are so busy trying to analyze the figures related the project at office to be able to churn up the most accurate and impressive report to be presented to our managers that, we fail to make time to analyze the failure and also the successes of our children. If you are wondering why I mentioned the analysis of our child’s success, then I attempt a guess – You are not one of those Management aspirants who have been through tons of books to improve their analytical ability. One of the mantras these books shove at you is, ‘Analyze all your answers even if it was a right one. This will help you understand if you were correct for the right reasons or not.’
Our children are more or less like our answers. They are the output of what we knowingly or un-knowingly teach them. Please note, they are, to a large extent, an impression of ourselves. You may have noticed this evidently when they were toddlers. But as the kid grows older you may remarkably note all it’s good deeds. And also show despair and concern about its bad ones. And while doing so you fail to recognize that the child may be better than you at the task coz it is improvising on your impression. It might have grown better at performing a task or an act of virtue or vice. So next time you get the urge to whack your kid think again. There must be a li’l bit of you in that act. Children are very keen on observing and fast in absorbing what you say or do. They lack the ability of filtering good from bad that we adults have, over a period of time, acquired.
This movie is an attempt to make parents realize that their duty doesn’t end if they provide the best of food, clothing and education to a child. For most children this is the best a parent can do. But for some a parent needs to walk the extra mile. And it is a parents duty to understand when is the time to walk that mile.
PS: I have so many more views to throw about and so less time to do so.

I liked the movie too and liked it but somehow I am not in raptures because there were some extra scenes which could have edited; they add no value to the movie. There are other movies which have moved me more than this.
All I need to say is here:
