It describes what the widows have to face in order to live before Independence and the hardships in day to day life. The joyless life that they were forced to have and no relation to another human. They were forced to devote all the time that they have left in worship and doing the day 2 day work related to the place they lived ( Aashram ).
The movie got delayed in its released in India but released worldwide simultaneously.Soon after the release the response was exceptionally good.The foreign critics were so impressed that the movie got nomination for the prestigious Academy Award in 2007 in the foreign language category from Canada. India Censor Board owing to many protests and pressure from communities cleared the movie with a U certificate two years after the scheduled release seeing the Oscar Nomination. The Censor Board had to face a lot of criticism for the delay as the nomination could have been from Indian side if the release was on time.
Citing the success, the movie released in India but it failed to attract the viewers despite the good performances from Seema Biswas, Lisa Ray and John Abraham.

Incomparable with almost any movie of recent times. This clan of extraordinarily talented gentlemen - Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Rajat Kapoor, Sanjay Mishra, Bijendra Kala, and Neha Dhupia - should be given an award for continually making something to die for, for a class of audience that doesn't seem to exist in this country.
